Chu Chen swept through, killing all who resisted in Dragon City, leaving no survivors.
Soon after, he arrived at the main hall of the mansion.
In the center of the hall, a statue was placed.
It was an elder with white hair, his face full of wrinkles, his body emaciated, his skin shriveled, like a dried corpse.
"Hmm? This is a zombie!"
Chu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
He felt a dense aura of death and decay from the dried corpse.
"No wonder I felt something was wrong when I first entered.
So there was a corpse buried in this mansion, and judging by its appearance.
It must have decayed for many years, and no one even claimed it!"
Chu Chen sighed softly.
Then, he raised his hand and grabbed, pulling from a distance.
With a rustle~~
Instantly, the dry husk shattered, turning into powder.
As the powder flew, a pill as black as ink slowly floated up.
Chu Chen reached out a virtual hand, collected it, and put it in his embrace.
Next, Chu Chen's gaze swept across the entire mansion, and he suddenly discovered a pile of clothes remains in a corner.
The pile of clothes remains was tattered, making it impossible to discern the color or style.
Chu Chen was silent for a long time.
Finally, he walked over, picked up the pile of clothes, and examined them carefully.
"These should be a maid's clothes..."
He looked at the severely damaged fabric, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
It was a cyan long skirt, embroidered with exquisite patterns, clearly expensive at a glance.
However, under the erosion of time, this cyan long skirt.
Was also incomplete, with many traces of stitching.
Just as Chu Chen was about to leave, he suddenly froze.
He saw that at the seams of the torn clothes, a copper coin was embedded.
Chu Chen took the copper coin in his hand and weighed it a few times.
His expression immediately became peculiar.
This copper coin was about the size of a thumb, with a very ordinary shape.
It was just covered in rust, as if the paint had peeled off badly.
However, upon seeing this copper coin, Chu Chen's heart was stirred by a storm.
Because he knew the origin of this copper coin!
This copper coin was called the Qiankun Ring!
The Qiankun Ring was a storage artifact!
And storage artifacts were not rare things.
Even on Earth, many wealthy individuals would wear Qiankun Rings.
But the problem was, storage artifacts were extremely precious!
Firstly, it required a sufficiently hard ore to be forged.
Secondly, this ore had to be at least at the Spirit level, otherwise, it wouldn't even be considered material for forging artifacts!
Chu Chen possessed neither of these points!
Therefore, this Qiankun Ring was definitely a rare treasure!
"Could it be that this contains treasures?" Chu Chen's eyes lit up.
He quickly probed into the Qiankun Ring with his divine sense.
Buzz~
In an instant, a dazzling golden light surged from within the Qiankun Ring!
This ray of golden light was pale gold, as if substantial.
It seemed to flow like liquid, or like a sun blooming!
"This is... spiritual energy!"
Chu Chen was shocked!
Although it was only a faint trace!
However, in an impoverished environment like Earth.
The birth of spiritual energy was already heaven-defying, let alone spiritual energy liquefying!
Liquefied spiritual energy represented that this small world had been completely opened up into a blessed land full of spiritual energy!
"Hahaha..."
Chu Chen threw his head back and laughed, overjoyed.
"I'm rich!
With this little bit of spiritual energy, as long as I absorb and refine it.
My cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and even directly reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is not impossible!"
Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage had a lifespan of three hundred years.
If combined with some profound techniques and artifact assistance.
A true Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily crush several Martial Apprentices!
"Quick! Release all the remaining spiritual energy, let me absorb it, hahaha!"
Chu Chen was extremely excited.
He impatiently sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~
Strands of pale golden spiritual energy, like trickling streams, gathered around him, swirling.
A moment later, he opened his mouth and exhaled a ray of divine light.
The divine light was brilliant, like a curtain rushing into the sky, illuminating the eight directions and six harmonies.
This divine light contained boundless power.
It was a drop of True Gang Liquid, of extremely high grade, a rarity among rarities! "Good!"
"Good stuff!"
Chu Chen's eyes widened in surprise, his heart pounding violently, his whole body trembling.
The energy contained in this drop of True Gang Liquid was even more effective than an ordinary Bone Quenching Pill!
"Such a treasure is simply a stroke of luck from heaven!"
Chu Chen couldn't help but shout and exclaim.
He never expected that a small mansion in a remote mountain village would hold such a great secret!
This was simply an unexpected joy!
He had originally planned to investigate the secrets here slowly after leaving.
But unexpectedly, by chance, he found a Qiankun Ring.
The Qiankun Ring was a spatial ring, storing a vast amount of resources within!
Chu Chen remembered reading in ancient texts that.
The larger the capacity of a storage ring, the more resources it stored, and the higher its grade!
Currently, the copper coin in his hand, although it looked rusty and unremarkable.
In fact, the material of this copper coin was extremely special.
It was forged from thousand-year-old profound iron, exceptionally strong, and ordinary weapons could not damage it!
Back in that small town, Chu Chen spent fifty thousand taels of silver notes to buy this copper coin.
He never expected that a worn-out, discarded copper coin he casually took out to wipe off dust would actually be a storage ring!
However, Chu Chen also knew one thing.
There was a seal on this copper coin, and to break this seal, only brute force could be used!
Crack!
A crisp sound came, and a crack appeared on the surface of the copper coin.
However, the crack was very brief and healed instantly, giving Chu Chen no opportunity to study it further.
"It seems this storage ring was abandoned."
Chu Chen shook his head and muttered to himself, "Such a Qiankun Ring, being discarded here, is a terrible waste!"
As he spoke, Chu Chen put away the copper coin and took out a dagger.
He pried open a gap in the roof beam and drilled into the hole in the roof.
Rumble! As Chu Chen drilled into the roof, the wooden board broke open.
Instantly, the surging spiritual energy poured in.
"Haha, it really came without any effort!"
Chu Chen laughed heartily.
He quickly activated the "Star Devouring Art," madly drawing in this spiritual energy to replenish his depleted True Essence!
At the same time, he clenched his fist and smashed fiercely at the copper coin.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Strike after strike, each punch condensed his full strength.
Although this copper coin was a storage artifact, it was not a magic treasure.
It was only the size of a fist and could not withstand Chu Chen's attack, gradually shattering!
A small copper coin broke into more than a dozen pieces, hanging around, emitting a faint golden light!
