Lu Chen was embarrassed for a moment and instantly calmed down. He carefully examined the bronze plate in his hand and saw that it was engraved with small ancient runes. Although it was dirty, it was as bright as new.
To be able to make nine spiritual stones decorate it, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
Turning the bronze plate over, Lu Chen immediately discovered a total of 47 white tadpole-like Dao patterns. There were also five small words at the edge: "Misty Sea Mountain-Hiding Array!"
"Impressive, 47 Dao Patterns. This… this is a Level 2 Misty Sea Mountain-Hiding Array Formation's array disc. Moreover, it's intact. It even gave me nine spiritual stones. Yaoyao…"
"What's wrong, Brother?"
"I'm a little dizzy. Help me up."
"Hehe~~"
The strong stench finally made Lu Chen calm down. For a moment, he felt a little awkward. The value of this Level 2 formation plate was too great. It could almost buy the entire Fengxian Town. Then, should he tell his mistress outside… ahem ahem?
"There's no hurry."
Lu Chen finally made a decision. It was not because he did not trust Fang Yuqi.
However, the other party was not as pure as him. She had her father, Fang Hong, above her and was in charge of the entire Fengxian Town. She had too many concerns and ties. If she leaked any information, even the immortal masters would rush over to silence him.
The safest way was to hide it from the other party first.
The formation plate weighed 15 kilograms.
The small sealed space could no longer accommodate it. Although he had not focused on cultivating the Sealing Technique, he had still fulfilled the cultivation conditions after so many days. Just now, he had obtained 16 spiritual sands, and the conditions of 20 spiritual sands could barely be met.
"Open!"

…
"Upgrade!"
Swoosh!
The 20 grains of spiritual sand disappeared, and the Sealing Technique was successfully upgraded to Mastery. Lu Chen comprehended for a moment and took out all the things that were sealed in the space. Then, he formed a hand seal and gathered spiritual qi at his fingertips. He pointed at his heart.
"Sealing Technique!"
He had succeeded in one try.
Lu Chen felt that there was a rice grain-sized sealed space on his ribs. He quickly transferred all the remaining spiritual qi into it and blew the sealed space bigger. Finally, it formed a circular space with a radius of one meter.
One meter in diameter! It could carry 50 kilograms.
"It's enough." Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and placed everything inside. He pinched his nose and brought Meng Yao out of the toad cave.
The sun had already risen in the east. Fang Yuqi had been waiting anxiously for a long time. "What took you so long?"
Lu Chen smiled and opened his palm. A green crystal appeared in his palm.
It was crystal clear. Green light flashed!
"Water… Water-attribute spiritual stone?" Fang Yuqi cried out in surprise, her eyes shining.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Yaoyao. I only did some hard work. I can't use this water-attribute spiritual stone. Can you use it?"
"I have a metal-attribute spiritual root, so I can't use it either."
"Can it be exchanged?"
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult for the time being." Fang Yuqi shook her head and pondered. "There are only a few cultivators in Fengxian Town. They can't be exchanged.
"There's chaos in the south. I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter Fengpo City in the future. Daoist Wu from the Great Yan Mountain in the west blocked the way from the west to the Mo Province. If you want to exchange for it, you can only go to the Qingcang Mountain Range in the east. Two thousand miles to the east, there's a market city called the Heavenly Eye Market. It's the territory of the Heavenly Eye Sect. The Qianqing Sect, the Hundred Flower Palace, the Four Seasons Villa, and your Changchun Valley are all squeezed there."
Mo Province.
Qingcang Mountain Range.
Heavenly Eye Market!
Heavenly Eye Sect, Qianqing Sect, Hundred Flower Palace, Four Seasons Villa, Changchun Valley!
Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to the situation outside of the Fengxian Town. Now that he heard about it, he felt like he had been enlightened. However, if he traveled 2,000 miles east to the Heavenly Eye Market…
Forget it then.
2,000 miles away, who knew how many dangers there were.
Rather than that, he would rather stay in the Fengxian Town and quietly level up. Although it was slower, it was safer. When he was strong enough in the future, it would not be a problem for him to go out for a walk.
Lu Chen had no choice but to put away the Spiritual Stones and meditate to recover some of his Spiritual Qi. He held Fang Yuqi's hand and flew toward Fengxian Town with his sword.
Nothing happened along the way. Not long after dawn, they finally rushed back to the Town Guards Mansion.
As soon as he landed on the drill ground, he saw a man in armor walking over. He walked like a dragon and tiger with a mountain-like aura. It was Fang Hong. When he saw Lu Chen, he shouted, "Good lad, where did you take my daughter?"
"We went out for a walk…" Lu Chen smiled awkwardly and felt a little scared.
Smack!
Fang Hong reached out and placed his hand on Lu Chen's shoulder. Lu Chen felt a weight on his shoulder and was caught off guard. He almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his strength had increased to more than 1,500 pounds. He held on steadily.
Fang Hong looked approving and said slowly, "Your muscles and bones are not weak. In the future, I'll leave my daughter to you to take care of."
"…"
So hasty…
"Daddy ~" Fang Yuqi shouted and said seriously, "Daddy, why are you dressed like this today? Did something happen?"
"The soldiers we sent out are back." Fang Hong sighed and explained, "He also brought back a messenger. The rebels claim to be the Black Armored Army. They came from the south and have no less than 100,000 people. They also have a sharp weapon like the Immortal-Shooting Crossbow and are very difficult to deal with. Fengpo City has been surrounded for almost ten days and is on the verge of collapse. The messenger is here to ask for help."
Fang Hong looked around and said with a solemn expression, "He brought the Seven Kill Token of Fengpo City with him. Once the Seven Kill Token appears, we have to obey, unless we want to die!"
On this day, Fang Hong wore his armor and led 2,000 soldiers to reinforce Fengpo City.
…
"Daddy is leaving!"
"Mm."
"I wonder if he can come back?"
"Don't worry too much. Old Fang has been fighting for most of his life. He's a smart person. He definitely won't rush up foolishly. Let's take good care of ourselves and guard the Fengxian Town."
"Mm."
The sun was setting, and the winter wind was biting cold.
The two of them stood on the city tower and watched the two thousand soldiers meandering south. Fang Yuqi was dressed in a white robe and her eyes were red. She gently leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder.
…
Creak!
When the two of them returned to the Town Guards Mansion, Lu Chen pushed open the door. The ghoul's corpse was still lying on the long table. He rolled up his sleeves, took out his magic tool, the peach wood sword, and began to dissect it personally.
Chop, chop.
Crack, crack, crack!
It was gory and scary.
It was hideous and terrifying.
After a lot of work, Lu Chen finally finished dismembering it. Other than more than 300 hard scales, the flesh on the corpse had also been removed, leaving only a skeleton stained with black blood.
"I can level up again." Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and tapped the screen. "Open!"
