157: Chapter has ulterior motives
Meng Qingwan heard this, quickly put all the items back into her storage bag, and then said to Chen Jianyun, "Yun Mei, this matter must not be publicized. Let's decide after my husband returns."
Chen Jianyun nodded. After all, they had just moved to the Main Spiritual Vein and didn't know the clansmen there yet. The only person they needed to be wary of was the neighbor in the nearby Jia-Ren Character Thirty-Four Cave Residence.
After all, Chen Jianyun speculated that the person's goal might be this storage bag. So she suggested, "Let's stay home today and not go anywhere. We'll wait until Cang-ge comes back."
Originally, Meng Qingwan planned to go to the Market today to purchase some daily necessities, but now that she had obtained such a large sum of unexpected wealth, she could only abandon that plan.
At this moment, outside the Level A Cave Dwelling, He Xiao, with a gloomy expression, held a jar of spiritual wine and looked at the gate of Hexa-Grade Ren Character Thirty-Five Cave Dwelling.
"What a shrewd businessman, a jar of drunken spirit monkey wine actually cost me 200 spiritual stones," He Xiao cursed in his heart with a pained expression.
This drunken spirit monkey wine was brewed by a group of First Order Essence Gathering Spiritual Monkeys raised by the Chen Family, using various spiritual fruits and herbs. The quantity was extremely scarce. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would get drunk if they drank too much of this wine.
After all, ordinary spiritual wine could no longer intoxicate Foundation Establishment cultivators, but this wine could make Foundation Establishment cultivators drunk, so the price of 200 spiritual stones was not expensive.
"However, if I can find the treasure left by that old fellow, everything will be worth it," He Xiao's heart was set. He had personally seen that fortune: a huge amount of spiritual stones, precious Magical Artifacts, and most importantly, that treasure among them.
Thinking of this, He Xiao's eyes were already filled with fervor. If he could obtain that treasure, reaching Foundation Establishment would be easy, and it might even support him until Core Formation.
"If that old fellow hadn't died unexpectedly and the treasure wasn't found on him, how could I have had the chance to obtain this treasure?" Thinking of this, He Xiao's originally depressed mood instantly vanished.
In his opinion, tonight he only needed to take out the drunken spirit monkey wine and, under the guise of celebration, get Chen Jiancang's family drunk. Then he would have the opportunity to search inside Hexa-Grade Ren Character Thirty-Five Cave Dwelling.
But what he didn't know was that the treasure he yearned for would be easily discovered by a demonic dog.
In the evening, Chen Jiancang returned to the Main Spiritual Vein. After a day of busyness, he had already had Xuan Feng repair the Formation and replanted the Blood Nether Vine.
However, the current Blood Nether Vine was even more bizarre and aggressive than the previous one, but Chen Jiancang now had the Blood Banner Flag and the Blood Soul Great Art of Object Control, so he was naturally not afraid of the Blood Nether Vine's brutality and bloodiness.
"Huh?"
Carrying his fatigue, Chen Jiancang stepped into Hexa-Grade Ren Character Thirty-Five Cave Dwelling and instantly noticed the changes in the courtyard. Although the stone pillars and rubble destroyed by Crimson Sky had been cleaned up by Meng Qingwan and Chen Jianyun, Chen Jiancang still spotted the difference at a glance.
"What happened?" Chen Jiancang looked at Meng Qingwan and Chen Jianyun with concern.
"Husband, Crimson Sky found this in the medicine field's stone pillar," Meng Qingwan came forward and took out the storage bag filled with treasures from her embrace.
Chen Jianyun was even more excited and recounted everything that had happened to Chen Jiancang.
Crimson Sky also wagged its tail around Chen Jiancang as if asking for praise, but Chen Jiancang smiled and didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, how valuable could a storage bag left by someone else be?
He was now quite wealthy and naturally didn't lack spiritual stones, but in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the two women and Crimson Sky, Chen Jiancang still took out a Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill from the storage bag and fed it to Crimson Sky.
"Hehe."
Meng Qingwan and Chen Jianyun exchanged a smile, naturally seeing Chen Jiancang's indifference.
"Cang-ge, you should still take a look at what's inside," Chen Jianyun said with a suppressed laugh, covering her mouth.
"Oh, is there something important inside?" Chen Jiancang reached out to take the storage bag, his spiritual sense already having detected the situation inside.
"This... how can there be so much..." Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Chen Jiancang was greatly surprised when he saw the contents of the storage bag.
The number of spiritual stones in this pile was actually much more than the amount he currently had stored, totaling five to six tens of thousands.
In addition, Chen Jiancang also saw several Second Order Magical Artifacts. The price of a Low Grade Second Order Magical Artifact was similar to that of a top-grade First Order Magical Artifact, each worth several thousand spiritual stones.
But Chen Jiancang could sense the aura emanating from these Second Order Magical Artifacts, and they were definitely not Low Grade Second Order.
"This was really found by Crimson Sky?" At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Jiancang's face. One must know that to accumulate such a number of spiritual stones, he would need to refine pills and draw Spirit Talismans day and night.
But at this moment, he had easily obtained so much wealth for free.
Chen Jiancang bent down and affectionately stroked Crimson Sky's dog head.
"Crimson Sky, it seems I haven't doted on you for nothing."
Chen Jiancang also hadn't expected Crimson Sky's nose to be so sensitive. It had only been a day since they moved in, and it had already discovered this storage bag.
Chen Jiancang was about to take out the items from the storage bag and examine them one by one, when at this moment, a fluctuation came from the cave dwelling's Formation.
Chen Jiancang brought up the image of the cave dwelling entrance and found that the person who had come was the Cultivator who had visited the day before yesterday.
"Cang-ge..." Chen Jianyun's expression changed, and she wanted to remind Chen Jiancang of her speculation.
"It's fine, let's see what his purpose is!"
Chen Jiancang gently shook his head, indicating to Chen Jianyun that it was fine.
He was very clear that the person who had come definitely had another purpose, but if this trouble was not completely eradicated, they would have to be on guard every day.
Where in this world was there a reason to guard against thieves every day?
So Chen Jiancang planned to solve this trouble once and for all. After all, the other party was just a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator. As long as he was a little careful, the other party couldn't pose a threat to Chen Jiancang.
Moreover, this place was the Chen Family's Main Spiritual Vein. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble on the Chen Family's territory.
Chen Jiancang gently pressed his fingertip on the Formation Plate, and the cave dwelling's stone door opened in response.
In the twilight, He Xiao held the spiritual wine, his face filled with seven parts smiles and three parts enthusiasm. He raised the wine jar and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen has moved into a new residence. I have specially prepared a jar of drunken spirit monkey wine as a small token of congratulation on Fellow Daoist's move."
"drunken spirit monkey wine? Fellow Daoist He is too generous. This jar of wine is worth 200 spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist is truly willing to part with it."
Chen Jiancang pretended not to know and responded with a smile.
