Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1989: Chapter 1990: Opening Treasure Chests

At this moment, Qing Ling, who was being pressed down by Lin Chen, couldn’t see her expression but heard her softly say:

”Lin Chen, could you, could you get off me first, please?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was initially stunned, then immediately jumped up as if jolted by electricity, hurriedly explaining:

”Well, Miss Qing, don’t take it the wrong way! I didn’t mean to!”

At this time, Qing Ling also stood up, her face somewhat unusual, but she did not blame Lin Chen and instead said:

”It’s okay! Lin Chen, thank you, for saving me!”

The situation earlier was indeed very dangerous; without Lin Chen, Qing Ling would definitely have been split in two and wouldn’t be standing here speaking.

Although being directly pressed down by Lin Chen did make Qing Ling somewhat dissatisfied, she wasn’t entirely repulsed either. For some reason, Qing Ling always felt Lin Chen was different from others, always carrying an aura of mystery, as if the identity of this little mercenary wasn’t his true self.

However, these were just Qing Ling’s wild guesses; she was simply curious about Lin Chen as a person, and she soon calmed her mind, no longer dwelling on the incident that just occurred.

At this point, Lin Chen also sighed inwardly in embarrassment; the danger had come too suddenly, and he hadn’t thought much before plunging ahead, later forgetting about the differences between genders. Still, seeing Qing Ling’s appearance, she didn’t seem to mind much, and Lin Chen, being carefree, didn’t continue to overthink it.

Qing Ling glanced around and then said:

”Lin Chen, let’s first take a look at this skeletal remains; there might be some crucial clues!”

”Alright!”

Lin Chen nodded because, after taking what belonged to someone else, at the very least, they should understand something about the other party.

The two walked forward, stopping by the mat, carefully observing the skeletal remains.

The skeleton was draped in a long robe, its color indistinguishable, sitting cross-legged, with its hands placed on its lap, appearing to be meditating, seemingly not killed by others.

After looking for a long time, aside from a heap of dust, the two didn’t see anything valuable. The skeleton had a storage ring on its hand, but it had already developed cracks. After Qing Ling and Lin Chen both tried to enter it with their Divine Sense and failed, they gave up on the storage ring.

It seemed that after this being’s death, the restrictions inside the storage ring broke, causing the ring itself to deteriorate. Although both felt it was a pity, there was nothing they could do.

Then Lin Chen said:

”Miss Qing, I think there’s nothing more on this skeleton. We should look elsewhere!”

Qing Ling furrowed her delicate brows, stubbornly continued searching carefully, but still found nothing, finally said:

”Alright then! Senior, we didn’t mean to disturb you; you’ve already passed on. These things aren’t useful to you—allow the juniors to borrow them, please don’t mind!”

After a slight bow, Qing Ling said again:

”Over there seems to be a spirit field, let’s go have a look!”

As she said this, Qing Ling directly headed forward.

”Okay!”

Seeing this, Lin Chen also slightly bowed to the skeleton, and just as he took two steps forward, he suddenly returned, because just as he bowed, something unordinary caught his eye!

Returning without a word, Lin Chen immediately extended his palm to take something from the skeleton’s hand, then quickly walked toward Qing Ling.

Lin Chen’s actions were very quick, so Qing Ling did not notice his subtle movements at all.

Qing Ling pointed at the two small spirit fields, each only a few meters in size, and said to Lin Chen:

”Lin Chen, look, there are two spirit fields here, though most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures have withered away, leaving yellow residues, but some remain!”

Lin Chen looked carefully, indeed, the two small spirit fields showed signs of previously planting many things, but the thin layer of yellow residue was all that remained of most spirit grasses.

The power of time is the most ruthless, and those heavenly materials and earthly treasures didn’t have such long lifespans, naturally weathering away. But what comforted the two was that there were still five plants of heavenly materials and earthly treasures remaining in the fields, and after such a long time, the medicinal effects of those that remained must be potent!

Lin Chen glanced at them, then said to Qing Ling:

”Miss Qing, how about this, you see there are still five plants of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I think they are equally precious treasures; I’ll take two, and you take three, but I get to pick first, is that okay?”

Qing Ling thought briefly, then nodded in agreement, because the arrangement favored her.

Since they had been alive for so long, the value was the same, getting an extra plant meant Qing Ling was getting the better deal.

Seeing Qing Ling nod in agreement, Lin Chen also carefully examined the five spirit grasses, then chose a red lingzhi and a yellow flower.

For some reason, Lin Chen felt these two spirit grasses should be more beneficial to him, so he took them without hesitation, and as for their effects, he would research them later.

Seeing Lin Chen had chosen, Qing Ling didn’t hesitate, without even looking, she waved her hand, and the remaining three herbs were stored in her storage ring.

After storing the spirit grasses, Qing Ling looked around again and then said to Lin Chen:

”Lin Chen, let’s go! There’s nothing else precious here, just that!”

And Lin Chen also nodded, saying:

”Let’s go check it out!”

Then the two walked one after the other to the simple stone table, where four intricately small treasure boxes stood, though covered in dust, each in front of a dark golden small key.

The two exchanged a glance, then Qing Ling said:

”We had agreed before, I have the first choice for one! So let’s open them one by one; by then, four treasures, we take two each, but I get first choice!”

Looking at these four treasure boxes, Lin Chen was indeed tempted, even contemplating taking them all, but he wasn’t the type to betray promises, so he nodded, saying:

”Alright, I’ll open the boxes then!”

”Alright, go ahead, be careful in case of any mechanisms!”

Lin Chen nodded, then picked up the first box’s key, gently inserting it into the keyhole.

”Click!”
