Chapter 106: Chapter 85: The Dignified Talisman Genius! (Double-Length)

In the deep pit.

The light was dim, and the air was moist.

Huang Mao was already awake again, but his face was strange, as if he had just gone into a dream to give the Ancient Immortal Master a gift but didn’t get a good deal.

He rubbed his face.

"Brothers, we’ve found the right place, the Immortal Artifact is not far, let’s keep digging!"

A few laborers nodded one after another. With talismans on their backs for support and having confirmed they were digging in the right place, they felt even stronger.

Beside the pit, three foxes crouched under the Invisibility Cloak.

In the middle, Quanquan Hu frowned.

It was very certain that the Alchemy Furnace was a bit to the east below, and the laborers needed to adjust their direction.

It quietly took steps and went to the east side of the pit, found a crevice under the cover of the Invisibility Cloak, and dripped in the Loosening Potion.

Before long, the east side of the pit started to squirm, expand, crack, and emit gas again...

A group of laborers were excited and thrilled, "The Immortal Artifact is fluctuating again!"

Huang Mao’s eyes widened more, and he grinned, "The closer we get to the Immortal Artifact, the more frequent the fluctuations, that’s solid! Dig eastward for me!"

...

On Fox Mountain, in the dormitory.

Bai Mo, along with a bunch of fox apprentices, sat on the bed or crowded around the bedside, holding grape iced tea, attentively watching the white mist in the mid-air, looking at the scenes presented within it.

Although the picture was dark and barely changed, they still watched with keen interest.

"Getting closer to the Alchemy Furnace."

"Ying ying ying!"

"Ow ow ow!"

"Ying ying ying!"

Suddenly, the image changed again, showing that Black Ears ran behind Huang Mao, peeking at Huang Mao’s phone.

Huang Mao received a message from the Dark Forum.

[The Immortal Technique Committee’s treasure hunt is hindered, and Chen Aqian has been sent to the park construction site]

Below was a picture, showing the park construction site, a stretcher being lowered from a helicopter. Lying on the stretcher was a man in prison clothes, pale-faced, as lifeless as gold paper.

Huang Mao gritted his teeth.

"Damn, why did the Immortal Technique Committee send Chen Aqian there?"

"Do they want Chen Aqian to help them find the Immortal Artifact?"

Huang Mao knew Chen Aqian, recognized this young man who was urgently sent to the site.

On Fox Mountain, Bai Mo also recalled who Chen Aqian was... after all, this guy was quite famous.

He explained to the fox apprentices.

"The person sent to the park construction site is named Chen Aqian. He is a death row inmate.

"He is only Sequence Nine, but his path is too peculiar.

"He walks the Divination Path!"

The fox apprentices quieted down, pairs of dark red eyes looking at their master.

Is the Divination Path really that special?

They didn’t understand.

"The Divination Path doesn’t have direct killing power.

"This man’s specific crimes are certainly enough to be executed seventeen or eighteen times over.

"The Committee has always wanted to catch him, but he is very hard to catch!

"It took a lot of effort to capture him before."

Hard to catch?

The apprentices blinked.

Why hard to catch?

"Because, the Divination Path is so slippery, nearly foreseeing the future.

"Every time the Committee planned to capture him, he could foresee it!

"Before the members involved even knew they were going to catch him, he already knew first.

"Often an action plan was deployed at noon, executed in the evening, only to result in nothing, as it was discovered he had run away early in the morning.

"But looking at the picture, he already looks half-dead.

"Why did the Committee bring him to the construction site?

"Does it have something to do with the Alchemy Furnace buried underground?"

...

"Bringing this half-dead criminal here, what do they intend to do?"

At the park construction site, a short distance from the car array, dozens of Immortal Technique Committee members stood or sat, chatting in groups of three or five, waiting on standby.

Zhang Shan, Lu Yang, and Yu Tingting whispered secretly.

"What does Committee Member Tie Shiba want to do by bringing a criminal here?"

But then they saw several of Tie Shiba’s personal guards had already received the stretcher, taking the half-dead Chen Aqian into the car array of Tie Shiba.

Zhang Shan and others immediately stretched their necks, craning to see the excitement.

Upon seeing the scene inside the car array, there was an uproar!

"Holy crap?"

"This can’t be right?"

"What does it mean?"

"In broad daylight!"

It turned out the stretcher had already been placed on the ground. Tie Shiba, dressed in a suit, had unexpectedly lain on the stretcher, turned over, and embraced the half-dead Chen Aqian!

The surrounding Immortal Technique Committee members, with strange expressions, didn’t know what to say and watched the drama unfold!

A few insiders in the crowd, like Wu Qingyun and the Little Secretary in the car array, looked pale with their brows tightly furrowed.

But then they saw Tie Shiba hugging Chen Aqian, motionless as if asleep, while white mist obscuring the border of reality and dream lifted from his body, swallowing Chen Aqian into it!

The mist dissipated eventually. Only Tie Shiba remained on the stretcher, changing his posture, falling into slumber.

Outside the car array, the crowd erupted into noise again.

"Holy crap!"

"What’s happening?"

"Chen Aqian has been dragged into a dream by Tie Shiba?"

"Aren’t their paths and dreams different? Can Chen Aqian enter Tie Shiba’s dream?"

"Is there such a setup?"

In the crowd, Wu Qingyun remained silent.

She knew more, knew that this was not Tie Shiba’s doing, but the Ancient Immortal Master of Tie Shiba, who swallowed Chen Aqian into that dream. It’s something the Ancient Immortal has always been able to do.

Of course, this process of consuming people is like teleporting in a game, easily interrupted if Chen Aqian struggled, it could easily be interrupted. Unfortunately, Chen Aqian was half-dead, his whole body paralyzed and unconscious, unable to struggle...

The car array fell into silence, but the dozens of Immortal Technique Committee members outside still stretched their necks, tilting their heads, and widened their eyes, looking into the car array.

"Hey, look at Committee Member Tie’s hand."

"There’s something extra in his hand."

Zhang Shan and others widened their eyes, and indeed saw, Tie Shiba lying on the stretcher, holding a steaming yellow brass spoon in his hand! Tie Shiba himself gradually awakened.
