Chapter 3988 The harvest is not small

Su Chen closed his eyes and then opened them with force, and his somewhat chaotic brain gradually became clear. When I looked again, I found that there was indeed a row of steps not far ahead.

This row of steps seems to be made of fine jade, exuding a soft brilliance.

Obviously, these are not the steps of the mountain, because there are no steps at the bottom of the mountain. Instead, there are steps halfway up the mountain and close to the top. This is unreasonable.

Su Chen opened his third eye and looked up. He could vaguely see the shadows of ancient buildings in front of him, but he couldn't see them clearly.

Ancient buildings often represent opportunities, because in ancient times, there was a martial arts civilization that was much more splendid than it is now. Although it has disappeared now, there are always traces of it remaining in the world.

Su Chen cheered up, walked forward, and stepped onto the first step.

"Buzz!"

A huge force came from under his feet, causing Su Chen to fly backwards and land in the distance.

"It seems that you can't climb this step hard."

Su Chen simply avoided this row of steps and walked directly from the side.

There is no road on the side, the rocks are rugged, and it is impossible to fly. Coupled with the huge pressure, it is also difficult to leave. But at least there's no rebound from under your feet, so you can still go up, just at a slower pace.

Su Chen slowly walked up the mountain, stopping to rest for a while after taking a few steps. Although the speed is slow, it is not unacceptable.

After spending half a day, Su Chen finally arrived at the ancient building.

Su Chen looked around and then said softly "Hey".

This was indeed an ancient building complex and should have belonged to an ancient civilization. But now, most of the houses have been destroyed, and some corpses that have weathered into bones can even be seen on the ground.

Su Chen's eyes swept over every item present and landed in the distance.

In that very far place, there was a building that seemed to have been split open from the middle, broken and collapsed in the middle. Below the break, there was a huge sword mark.

The sword marks were large and deep, and it was the terrible evil energy emanating from them that created the pressure that enveloped the entire mountain.

Su Chen tried to walk up a few more steps, but even he, at this time, could no longer bear the pressure and continue walking up.

"We can only take a look around first."

Due to the pressure from the broken sword, Su Chen could not enter this huge ancient building complex and could only walk around, looking for any suitable opportunities.

Soon after, Su Chen found a broken sword stuck in the pile of rocks on the ground.

Su Chen observed the broken sword for a while, then stepped forward to take out the broken sword.

But as soon as he took two steps forward, a strong pressure hit his face again, making his chest suffocate and a fishy sweet taste came from his throat.

At the moment, Su Chen tried several times again, but was unable to get close to the broken sword.

"Suck it for me!"

Su Chen raised his palm, and the real energy in his palm burst out with powerful suction. With constant urging, the broken sword was finally sucked towards him.

As soon as I took the broken sword into my hands, an ancient and desolate feeling immediately came over me. There were many ancient characters engraved on the sword, and most of them seemed to be shrouded in mist. Even Su Chen couldn't see clearly, and he only knew they were ancient characters.

The tip of the broken sword is simple and exquisite, while the sword body is broken in the middle, giving it a somewhat imperfect look.

He held it in his hand and waved it, and a beam of invisible energy suddenly shot out from the broken end. With one strike of the sword, the mountain stone several feet high was cut open from the middle like tofu.

"The grade of this sword seems to be much higher than my own cultivation level."

Su Chen observed the broken sword and found that there were four simple large runes on the broken sword, which were particularly prominent among the many runes. He tried to infuse true energy into the runes, but the runes only lit up slightly and soon went out again.

"It seems that in the future, when my cultivation level improves and I activate this rune to shine, the power of the Broken Sword should also increase."

After getting the Broken Sword, plus the Xuanyin Vine and Dragon Blood Ginseng that he had obtained before, Su Chen had gained a lot from this trip. He walked around the ancient buildings and found no other treasures. Gekko headed back home and prepared to go down the mountain.

Su Chen and Luo'er met halfway up the mountain, and they continued down the mountain and turned back to Scarlet Dragon City.

"Miss Luo'er!"

Not long after the two entered the city, they heard a voice calling from behind, and five young men and women chased after them.

"Is it you?"

Luo'er was the first to recognize the other party. They were the five people she rescued in the Cangjin Mountains.

"Why are it you five again?"

Su Chen also stopped and asked.

"Hmph, we have to save Miss Luo'er and prevent her from being harmed by you!"

The five people spoke righteously, looking like messengers of justice.

"Go back and play in the mud."

Su Chen turned around and left.

"Hey, don't even think about leaving!"

The group of five people quickly gathered around.

Su Chen stretched out a finger and tapped a little. The five people suddenly felt an invisible force coming and fell on their backs, but they were not injured.

Su Chen continued to move forward, and Luo'er quickly followed. She didn't want to get involved with this weird five-person group.

"what to do?"

One of the young people among the five said.

"Follow them first, see where they live, and then ask for help."

The oldest boy said.

"good."

The five people followed Su Chen and Luo'er furtively. After following them all the way, they found themselves at the Alchemy Guild.

"Huh? Why is it here?"

"Is that hateful guy an alchemist?"

"Even if he is an alchemist, he cannot tolerate Miss Luoer falling into his clutches!"

"Come on, let's go get the reinforcements!"

The five people discussed for a while and then left in a hurry.

Su Chen returned to his residence and put away the Xuanyin Vine and Dragon Blood Ginseng for the time being. He doesn't use these two things yet. He plans to use the dragon blood ginseng after he breaks through to the Tongli realm.

As for the Xuanyin Vine, Su Chen wanted to use it to refine the Nine-turn Spiritual Pill, but not now, because there are only less than three days before the possible changes in Scarlet Dragon City. At this time, refining such a time-consuming and labor-intensive pill recipe , not a good choice.

During the meditation practice, two days passed quickly.

Relying on the Xia Yue Treasure Fruit, Su Chen's cultivation level has steadily improved to the halfway point of Lifting, and he is only one step away from it.

If there is a Nine Transformation Spiritual Pill at this time, it is very likely that he will break through to the Tongli state.

At this time, there was only one day left before the possible accident, and Su Chen broke out of his meditative state.

However, when Su Chen walked out of the room, he was surprised to find that the maid Luo'er was not in the room.

Where did this girl go?

After asking someone, I learned that Luoer went out early this morning with a little gecko.

"Depend on……"

Only then did Su Chen realize that the little gecko had slipped away from him at some point.
