Chapter 112 Broken Necklace
Chapter 112 Broken Necklace
Outside Zhongba City, at the border of the endless forest, the monks who were watching began to leave one after another. They had already understood what was going on.
It's nothing more than changing some previously established rules because of a certain person's relationship. At first everyone was a little indignant, but later on, after talking about it for a long time and finding no result, they just became indifferent.
Instead of discussing other people's stories here, it is better to work hard to improve yourself and strive to one day let others talk about your legend.
Besides, it has been most of the day and no monk has come out of the endless forest. We can't just sit here and look up at the sky.
"How many monks have returned?" General Long Chenglong came to the temporary registration office with a somewhat grim look on his face.
There were only a few monks left who were watching, but they were still standing there stupidly. The person they were supposed to be waiting for had not shown up yet, and if their estimation was correct, the people they shouldn't be waiting for should have come back by now.
"Your Highness! According to statistics, a total of 1,281 cultivators have returned, including 28 cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and 128 cultivators in the Fusion Stage..." The cultivator in charge of registration stood up and read out the registration results.
"Okay! Okay! Just tell me if there is a cultivator named Lei Junjie who is in the late fusion stage." Long Cheng waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the cultivator who was reporting.
"Uh... General! The information jade cards of all the returning cultivators have been checked, and there is no cultivator named Lei Junjie who is in the late fusion stage." The cultivator answered loudly.
"Assholes! How could it be missing? Did you neglect your duty and make a mistake? Or did you miss it?" Hearing this, Long Cheng roared with a dark face.
"Alright! General Long, don't blame them. I just received a message from the command center that the purple dots did disappear at the border of the Endless Forest.
This means that Lei Junjie has returned. Now his name is not on the registration information. I guess there must be something fishy going on. Let's go back and reconsider the matter!" An Lao came out to help.
After hearing this, Long Cheng didn't know what to say, so everyone went back in a mighty manner.
In the Zhongba City Teleportation Hall, after a flash of golden light, Lu Chen's figure appeared in the Teleportation Hall.
Because he was concerned about Zixuan's safety, and received news from Manager Yang that Zixuan was very likely to go to Lu Chen's cenotaph, Lu Chen did not dare to delay and decided to go outside the city first to take a look.
Thinking of Zi Xuan, a beautiful female cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, suddenly appearing in this remote area, Lu Chen felt a headache and could only pray silently in his heart that she would be safe.
Based on the approximate location provided by Yang Yunfei, Lu Chen used his spiritual sense and quickly found a grave mound at the edge of the endless forest.
When he stood in front of the grave and saw the words "Tomb of the Casual Cultivator Lu Chen" written on the tombstone, a strange expression appeared on Lu Chen's face.
Then I saw some spiritual fruits and spiritual wine placed in front of the tombstone. The soil on the ground had been smoothed out, and some of the soil still showed small spots left by fallen water drops.
When Lu Chen saw this, his heart was blocked. He vaguely saw a slender figure kneeling in front of the tombstone and crying sadly, with tears dripping down to form countless mud spots.
"Hey... Zixuan, why are you doing this?" Lu Chen murmured with a sigh, feeling very depressed.
Knowing clearly that extending his spiritual sense would have no effect, Lu Chen still held on to a lucky glimmer and extended his spiritual sense to the maximum extent.
At this moment, Lu Chen has reached the late stage of foundation building. His true essence is as strong as that of the middle stage of fusion, and his spiritual awareness is as strong as that of the late stage of fusion. Combined with various means, he can basically kill people across levels.
As the spiritual consciousness continued to extend, everything within a radius of six kilometers was within sight.
At this time, Lu Chen's eyes focused, and he found a broken necklace lying flat on the grass about five kilometers away from Zhongba City.
Although the material of the necklace is very ordinary, and even the pendant is just ordinary jade, the only difference is that a mark of Lu Chen's consciousness is sealed in the pendant.
With a "bang", the tombstone was smashed into pieces by Lu Chen's palm, and stone chips flew everywhere. The next second, Lu Chen threw out his magic sword and flew to the place where the necklace fell.
After a dozen breaths, Lu Chen picked up the broken necklace on the grass, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He was very familiar with this necklace. At that time, Lu Chen took the necklace left by Zi Xuan's ancestor. Before setting out for the Endless Forest Trial, he specially bought another necklace and sealed a divine mark on it to give to Zi Xuan.
"Damn it! Zixuan must have had an accident on the way back," Lu Chen held the broken necklace in his hand and looked at the huge Zhongba City. Finding someone was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Sighing, Lu Chen calmed himself down and thought of many possibilities. The biggest possibility should be the dental clinic. After all, Zi Xuan had been sold to a dental clinic before.
The Yahang was originally called "Huhang", which means matchmaking and introduction. The deal was reached between buyers and sellers and commissions were earned from it, which is somewhat similar to modern intermediaries.
But they have one business that is hard to describe, and that is to capture monks with low cultivation and no background, both men and women.
Young and beautiful female cultivators were sold to brothels or to other cultivators to be used as furnaces or playthings.
Male monks were sold to aristocratic families or sects as slaves, forced to mine or do hard labor.
Such behavior makes monks all over the world hate the pawnbrokers, but the pawnbrokers often have deep and complicated backgrounds, so no one cares about this.
What’s more, it is a world of cultivation where low-level cultivators are worse than dogs and human life is worthless.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Lu Chen still planned to go to the dental clinic to have a look. At least he had a direction to look for it. He hoped that everything was still in time.
After much inquiries, Lu Chen came to the southern area of Zhongba City, where it is said that there is the largest dental market in the area.
It is called a market, but in fact it is just a wide street with buildings standing on both sides, most of which are tower-shaped buildings, with the lowest two or three floors and the highest five or six floors.
There are endless streams of cultivators coming and going every day. As soon as Lu Chen walked to the street corner, he could clearly hear the noisy sounds inside. It was very lively.
At this time, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building came forward and started a conversation.
"Hehe... hello, senior! What type of female cultivator do you want to buy? We have cultivators ranging from seven or eight years old to fifty or sixty years old, with cultivation levels ranging from the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage. Would you like me to take you to my house to have a look?" The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building said respectfully with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's forehead was full of black lines, and he cursed these people in his heart as beasts who even spared no children or the elderly.
"Well! Lead the way!" Lu Chen said lightly, thinking to himself, since he was not familiar with this place, he might as well follow and take a look first.
"Okay, senior! You can just call me Xiaoliu. Please follow me." The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building saw that business was coming, so he greeted Lu Chen more enthusiastically.
There are dozens of dental clinics of all sizes on the entire dental street, and their location is not very good, so they sent Xiaoliu to the streets to actively solicit customers.
Lu Chen followed Xiao Liu into the dental market. The scene he saw made him frown. A nameless anger surged in his heart. He looked at everything in front of him with uncontrollable anger.
