Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Relics of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator "You should ask your grandfather if he still remembers where he found the artifacts in the past." Yes, Xia Changge thought of the Flame Devouring Bead he obtained from the Lin family. In general, owners have a connection with their treasures. Considering the Lin family had the Flame Devouring Bead for so many years and its owner never came looking for it, it's likely that they had passed away. Furthermore, Xia Changge had a strong feeling that the owner died near the artifact! Having a top-grade magic treasure, it's highly likely that the cultivator is at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they were only at the Qi Refinement stage, it would be worth it for Xia Changge to spend a few days searching. Finding it would be like a windfall for Xia Changge. If it can't be found... it would just be a delay of a few days. "Okay, head of the household." Lin Meishan didn't think too much and went to do as told. Xia Changge wasn't used to being called "husband" by someone else, let alone having Lin Meishan call him "master" all the time. After some thought, as the head of a family, it was appropriate for him to be called the head of the household. Although Lin Meishan felt a bit low-spirited with this request, she could still accept it. After all, being called the head of the household was much closer than being called "master." This was a great improvement for her, and she would continue to work harder in the future. The old man still had a memory of it and provided the specific location. Xia Changge wasted no time and used Lin Meishan's authority in Mo City to gather hundreds of mortals to dig within a two-kilometer radius of the destination. For this task, Xia Changge took out his storage bag and informed these mortals of what he needed. With Xia Changge present, there was no need to worry about safety. The ordinary wild beasts nearby wouldn't dare approach this area. Six days flew by in an instant, and Xia Changge had given up hope of finding anything. But in the end, he was pleasantly surprised. They found the storage bag buried within the remains of a tree. Although this storage bag was cheap, it could still be used for about a hundred years under normal circumstances. It had only been about twenty years since Lin Meishan's grandfather found the artifact, so Xia Changge speculated that the storage bag should still be usable. "Bury him properly!" Xia Changge put away the storage bag, took a last look at the remains, and decided to give him a proper burial. Even though whatever Xia Changge did wouldn't change anything. Because his grave was destined to be an unattended one, much like the burial beneath the big tree. But there had to be a sense of ceremony. Xia Changge had already determined that this storage bag belonged to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as it had the imprint of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine consciousness. Leaving this item behind would make it difficult for others to open the storage bag. They would have to break the imprint first. Although the Foundation Establishment cultivator had died a long time ago, the imprint he left behind had greatly weakened. But for Xia Changge, a Qi Refinement cultivator, it still took some effort to open it. At this moment, Xia Changge didn't have the luxury of wasting precious time. Xia Changge generously rewarded the mortals who had helped him search, providing them with enough gold and silver to live on for several years. As for the few mortals who had found the item, Xia Changge also rewarded them with several Longevity Pills. At the very least, it could enhance their physical fitness and alleviate most of their health problems. After making the necessary arrangements, Xia Changge left Mo City with Lin Meishan. Because Xia Changge had already forewarned them, it was certain that the Xia family would welcome Lin Meishan's arrival. Seeing Xia Changge's vast fortune and over a hundred servants in the immortal realm, Lin Meishan felt both happy and somewhat inferior. After all, she was just a mortal. Fortunately, her kind-hearted sister, Zhang Miaoyi, helped ease some of the pressure in her heart. Xia Yijiao still had some memories of this woman. When she was young, she often went to her house to play. However, she never liked this woman. She felt that this woman was like a fox spirit, constantly tempting her father even though she knew her father had no interest in her. She never thought she would see this woman again in her lifetime. And she actually secretly gave birth to a son for her father! How despicable! This made Xia Yijiao clench her fists in anger. If it wasn't for the fact that she was leaving, she would definitely make that guy named Xia Yaozu pay every day. After a few days of welcoming a meeting, Xia Changge arranged for Lin Meishan to manage his farm. Of course, because this place is a place where cultivators are active, Xia Changge wouldn't allow any possibility of danger for Lin Meishan, even though his enemies have almost been eliminated. At this point, Xia Changge had cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage guarding his home, so there were almost no hidden dangers. Therefore, Xia Changge assigned Xia Tie, a Qi Refinement cultivator at the 8th level, to follow Lin Meishan at all times and be at her beck and call. With this arrangement, Xia Changge now had his own people taking care of the businesses that were relatively profitable, so he could be more at ease. During his leisure time, Xia Changge took out the storage bag he had found. After some effort and using Ling Water he purchased from the Duobao Trading House to wash away the divine consciousness imprints left by others, Xia Changge finally opened the storage bag. To Xia Changge's anticipation, there were not thousands or tens of thousands of spiritual stones inside, only a little over five hundred. This made Xia Changge doubt for a moment if this person was really at the Foundation Establishment stage. It doesn't make sense for them to be so poor, right? These spiritual stones inside aren't even of medium quality. However, as Xia Changge continued to examine it, he eventually found the reason. The owner of this storage bag was Cao Meng, an elite disciple of the Xuanling Sect at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It contained his identity token. Xia Changge had heard of the Xuanling Sect, which was adjacent to the Leitian Sword Sect, and the two sects seemed to be rivals. Before his death, Cao Meng had spent most of his savings to purchase a top-grade magic treasure: the Jade Torrent Bracelet. He had planned to give it to the person he admired and become dao companions. There was also a love letter in the storage bag. Xia Changge also learned who this person was that Cao Meng admired. It was Shen Han, an elite disciple of the Biyun Pavilion and also a Foundation Establishment female cultivator. However, it seemed that this Cao Meng had suffered a mishap before delivering the item; he died here. After all, the Jade Torrent Bracelet was still inside the storage bag. In addition to that, there was also a mid-grade magic weapon flying sword and two inconspicuous low-grade magic weapons. "I spent around three thousand spiritual stones just for this?" Xia Changge picked up the Jade Torrent Bracelet with curiosity. This treasure could be worn on the wrist and, once refined, could be used to break enemy formations and lock onto enemies. This wristband could shrink and expand according to the owner's thoughts. It really was a nice magic treasure. If Xia Changge were to use it, his combat power would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced. After some thought, Xia Changge decided to keep the Jade Torrent Bracelet. Apart from being able to cultivate the Xuanling Sect's cultivation technique, "Xuanling Codex," to the late Foundation Establishment stage, there were also some techniques that Foundation Establishment cultivators could use. Xia Changge kept them for future use. Only the Xuanling Codex, Xia Changge dared not casually use. (End of this chapter)
