Something that should have been given more than ten years ago? What was the meaning of this so-called "Heavenly Token"?
Everything seemed to be possible to guess, but Perfected Lord Tianlan did not continue to explain to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen did not ask further. He just slowly clenched the token in his hand and did not say a word in the darkness. No one could see the expression on his face at the moment, so no one could guess his current mood.
The night wind swept past the treetops, making rustling sounds and adding a bit of silence to the world.
…
No one else knew the content of this conversation in the forest in the middle of the night, including Old Ma who had been staying outside the small forest from the beginning to the end. He was a bit bored, but in fact, he was also a bit worried. He would look at the forest from time to time, but he never had the intention to go in.
Until he saw Atsu walking out of the darkness in the forest in the night, and then Lu Chen's figure also appeared in his sight. Old Ma immediately went to greet them. When he was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. Then, with a slightly surprised expression, he asked Lu Chen, "Where is Perfected Lord Tianlan?"
"He went back first." Lu Chen said, "He said that he has something to deal with and has to rush back, so he won't come to see you again. He asked me to tell you on his behalf."
"Oh." Old Ma nodded. He naturally did not dare to be dissatisfied with Perfected Lord Tianlan. He said, "His Excellency is very busy every day, so of course he is very busy. It doesn't matter. By the way, how did your conversation go? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "It went well, but he asked me to stay here in Immortal City to help him."
Old Ma immediately looked happy. He patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's good. Immortal City is the most prosperous place in the world, and you have a Perfected Lord of Soul Formation as your backer. If you stay here and work, your life will be too easy."
"He still wants me to help him deal with the Devil Cult," Lu Chen said.
Old Ma paused for a moment, his brows slightly wrinkled, after a moment, he slowed down his speech, as if he was thinking, said, "If that is the case, then it is hard to say, after all the Evil Faction side is full of lunatics, but … hmm, this seems to be what you have been doing all your life, at least you are much better than others."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and looked at Old Ma helplessly. "You also know that this is the only thing I've done in my life?"
Old Ma shrugged, and then he said, "Have you thought it through? Let me know if you've made a decision. I'll return to the Immortal City to see the Lord first, and then I'll arrange everything."
Lu Chen opened his mouth to say something, but he suddenly held back. He placed his hand on his chest and pressed lightly. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Alright, then go and ask them what they want us to do."
"Alright."
… …
When the morning sun shone down from the horizon, Lu Chen was still lying on the ground in the forest, his head resting on the soft fur of Atsu.
As the sun gradually rose, the light and shadow in the forest kept changing, shifting, there was a kind of strange and breathtaking beauty.
Lu Chen woke up in the morning light, but did not get up. He only looked at the light and shadow crisscrossing, changing strange scene. Occasionally he would reach out and touch his chest, under his clothes, there was already a tag hanging on his chest, and there was still a trace of faintly discernible cool air coming from it.
He waited until noon before he saw Old Ma return. Looking at his hurried footsteps, but his expression was considered normal. Lu Chen then slowly sat up, smiled at Old Ma and said, "You've worked hard, how's the matter?"
Old Ma sat down in front of him, and did not talk nonsense with Lu Chen. He said straightforwardly, "We don't need to fight and kill this time, the most important task is to find the Evil Sect's legendary branch, leaf and seed."
Lu Chen nodded his head and said, "How do we find it? At least when I was in the Evil Sect, I didn't really see these divine objects. Now we have to rely on the two of us to look for it blindly? "
After a pause, Lu Chen said, "If that's really the case, I think the two of us should go back to Qingshuitang Village, at least it might be a little safer there."
Old Ma laughed and said, "Don't worry, although it's very difficult to find these things, Perfected Immortal has already told me that the most important thing about these divine objects of the same origin is that they are intertwined with each other's fate energy. As long as one of them is found, someone will use other secret techniques to deduce the approximate location of the other divine objects."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "There's actually such a powerful supernatural power?"
"Who knows?" Old Ma smiled and said, "Anyway, it's all the supernatural power of Perfected Immortals, it's not strange that we mortals can't compare."
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, the world is so big, it's really too difficult to find the four treasures that have no clues at all …"
Before he finished speaking, Old Ma interrupted, "Don't be afraid, Perfected Immortal has already told me very clearly this morning. Now in this Immortal City, including the land within a hundred miles, there's a hidden divine object. We just need to think of a way to find it."
Lu Chen's expression changed and instantly became a little serious. He looked at Old Ma and said, "Where did this news come from?"
Old Ma shook his head and said, "I also heard it from Perfected Immortal, of course I don't know the specific source of the news, and it's not convenient for me to ask."
Old Ma was telling the truth. Lu Chen nodded slowly, but a trace of uneasiness flashed across his heart. No one knew better than him that at this moment, there was a seed of the sacred tree sealed in his body, and it was also very likely that this treasure was one of the four divine objects that he and Old Ma had mentioned before.
He originally thought that as long as he strictly guarded against this secret, this secret would never be known by others. But now it seemed that there was someone else who might know this secret?
Or was it just a pure coincidence?
He lowered his head and pondered for a long time without saying a word, but Old Ma, who was standing at the side, came over and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't think too much. Anyway, in the end, isn't it just a battle of wits and courage with the demons of the Devil Cult? We've been doing this for so many years, what's there to be afraid of?"
Lu Chen grunted and nodded.
Old Ma smiled and said, "Since you also understand this, then let's go. Right now, let's go to the Immortal City and find an inn to stay for a couple of days to rest. In the future, should we also make a disguise to avoid being discovered by others? "
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Old Ma coughed and said, "How about … … the two of us cooperate to open a shop?"
"Forget it!" Lu Chen bluntly pointed at his heart and said, "When you do business, it's always a losing business. Every shop you open collapses, you've never made money and you've even subsidized it every time. If you go to open a shop in the Immortal City, I'm afraid you'll be suppressed by others in eight to ten days! "
Old Ma grunted, but with an arrogant look on his face, he said, "What do you know! We have a backer behind us, if we encounter any trouble, we can just look for the Lord to solve it. And what's more, it's actually just a kind of speculation. As for the actual situation, Lord Immortal also said that he might not be 100% sure. "
Lu Chen grunted again, feeling that there was no need for him to be entangled on this issue, so he deliberately changed the topic and said, "This time, was it also you and I who directly contacted the damn baldy?"
"That's not it!" A burst of laughter, as clear as a wind chime, came from outside the forest.
