Eternal Tale

”Are the seniors here?”

A sycophantic laugh echoed from outside the formation, ”Junior Song Heng is here to pay respects. I have important matters to discuss.”

Little Chi glanced at Chen Xun. He had some impression of this chubby guy; he sold quite a bit of junk. Over the past month, he could be considered the top among these online store people.

Chen Xun nodded lightly.

Seeing Xun’’s signal, Little Chi immediately perked up, raised his lion head, and growled, ”Little Fatty, come in and talk!”

With a wave of Black Bull’’s hoof, a divine light avenue appeared instantly in front, gradually revealing Song Heng’’s figure.

He wore a worn-out robe, already tainted with some filth, which could only be slowly cleansed with mana, but he didn’’t seem to mind.

Song Heng’’s small eyes sparkled with a shrewd light, and combined with his plump body, he seemed quite slick.

He cupped his hands cautiously as he walked on the divine light avenue, the formation behind him slowly closing, making him feel a bit uneasy.

”Young friend Song, what brings you here?”Chen Xun sized him up with a couple of glances, having some impression of him as a smooth talker, ”Visiting at night, it seems you’’re not here to sell junk.”

”Senior, you have sharp eyes!”

Song Heng bent slightly, even giving a thumbs-up, ”Senior is a person of great mana; your vision surely isn’’t limited to this thousand-mile radius of junk sea, nor just this Trash Island.”

”Mm, young friend Song, please continue.”

”I feel that senior’’s efficiency is still a bit low...”

”How dare you, Little Fatty, you dare question Xun?”

Little Chi suddenly roared, cutting him off before he could finish, ”Roar!”

”Ah?” Song Heng’’s eyes widened, and he was pushed back several steps by the roar, feeling furious inside. This Rengar is really something else!

”Little Chi, let others finish speaking, don’’t be impulsive.”

”Hehe, no problem, Xun.”

”Fourth brother, others are Elemental Infant cultivators, don’’t use your power to oppress them, it’’s not good.”

Little Crane ran to Little Chi’’s side, softly reprimanding, ”They’’re quite honest.”

Roar~

Little Chi smiled, lying down on the ground, not daring to anger Sister Crane, even though her head didn’’t seem as big as his yet.

Song Heng cupped his hands with an awkward smile, always feeling that this Rengar was targeting him, just like last time, even though he hadn’’t done anything!

He then looked at Chen Xun and said respectfully, ”Junior has a treasure that can seek crystals and find treasures. If junior leads a large group, it could help those online store people find discarded materials containing Great Desolate Black God Crystals faster.”

”Such a good thing, Bull, take it, we’’ll use it ourselves.”

Chen Xun sipped his tea calmly, a faint smile on his lips, ”A mere Elemental Infant cultivator dares to flaunt wealth before me.”

”Moo moo~”

Black Bull grinned, stood up, and the power of the Five Elements surged like a tide, pressing down on Song Heng!

Song Heng was terrified, cold sweat pouring down, his entire body out of control, unable to mobilize any mana, now more helpless than an ordinary person.

He suddenly came to his senses, screaming in panic, ”Senior, please wait, senior, please wait!”

”Any last words? I have nothing to do tonight, I can listen.”

Chen Xun chuckled, inadvertently revealing the three mountain-axing axes at his waist, ”Young friend Song is quite nice, delivering himself to my door.”

The moonlight was slightly cool, the clouds in the high sky drifted slowly, and the silver glow spread across the earth, faintly penetrating the formation.

The cold light of the three mountain-axing axes reflected in Song Heng’’s eyes, his whole body trembling like a sieve, a drop of cold sweat already hitting the ground.

An illusion, it’’s all an illusion, their true identity is starry sky thieves!

Little Chi was a bit confused, not understanding what his big brother meant, why suddenly wanting to kill and seize treasures.

”Senior, this item is a family heirloom... the Treasure-seeking Compass, it can only be activated by bloodline.”

”Oh, I see, but I don’’t believe it.”

”......”

Song Heng looked at Chen Xun’’s calm expression and was speechless, quickly calculating gains and losses in his heart, suddenly shouting, ”Senior, I’’m willing to tell the truth!”

”Name.”

”Song... Heng.”

”Gender.”

”Male...”

”Longevity, soul age.”

”Longevity 572, soul age 572.”

”Race.”

”Tomb Luck Demon Fiend Clan.”

”What is that?”

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow, lightning flashing in his eyes, ”What kind of race is that? Although I already knew you weren’’t human.”

”Moo~”

Black Bull squinted, the chubby body was actually quite strange, possibly not even his true form.

When they first saw him a month ago, their third sister had already detected something off about him, but she only told their big brother and herself, not making it public.

Song Heng’’s heart tightened, his previously timid and fearful expression gradually becoming calm, taking a deep look at the little girl.

At this moment, Little Crane’’s aura changed completely, her heterochromatic eyes swirling in the depths of her pupils, like the sun and moon in the vast sky.

”Our clan is passed down through a single line, able to see some innate fortune. Although senior’’s fortune is thin, it is continuous, a true person of great fortune!”

Song Heng exclaimed, his demeanor as devout as could be, ”Our clan must follow a person of great fortune to survive!”

”That’’s nonsense, speak plainly.”

”Moo moo!”

Chen Xun and Black Bull sneered simultaneously, thin fortune is akin to having none, continuous just means they’’re still alive.

Such words could apply to Filthy Longevity, hitting a few marks, saying it was like saying nothing.

They once believed they were people of great fortune, but aside from longevity, they hadn’’t even picked up iron essence.

Living so long, they had seen what true people of great fortune were, and no longer believed they had any fortune.

”Uh... hehe...”

Song Heng was extremely embarrassed, his face flushed, ”Actually, the Tomb Luck Compass guided me here, the fortune refers to myself, with the clan’’s fortune upon me... able to turn misfortune into fortune.”

”Tomb raider?”

”Senior, tomb explorer, tomb explorer.”

Song Heng’’s eyes widened, how could tomb exploration be equated with tomb raiding, ”It can also be used to find treasures. I even found Returning to Origin Purple God Essence and Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid in the junk sea.”

Chen Xun’’s eyes finally showed some fluctuation, ”Are those the things in the shattered spirit seals? But such things can’’t be refined by others, as far as I know, these two items aren’’t sold by the pound.”

Returning to Origin Purple God Essence and Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid seemed to come from the same place, evident from their names.

One could be used to bind the soul, the other to lock the divine sense’’s aura, indispensable materials for making spirit seals.

”Senior is truly knowledgeable!”

Song Heng nodded heavily, his tone rising a few notches, ”Every year, many spirit seals are damaged, especially throughout Xuanwei Heaven, but the materials aren’’t something ordinary cultivators can burn, and storing them in a storage ring can inexplicably tear some things.”

Xuanwei Heaven’’s most common spirit seal grade was naturally Yellow-tier, though the materials were excellent, even a slight damage rendered them unusable, making them quite precious.

The once-in-a-century Misty Trash Island trip included ten percent of spirit seals processed by various spirit estates, Yellow-tier Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seals were worthless.

Earth rank spirit seals were generally reclaimed by the spirit estates themselves, not many to begin with, and no damaged Earth-tier Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seals had been reported, let alone the legendary top-tier.

”Mm.” Chen Xun nodded lightly, looking at Black Bull.

”Moo~” Black Bull also looked at Chen Xun.

They had once tried to extract and refine, but it took time and was quite minimal, almost negligible.

Li Chen Island hadn’’t heard of anyone collecting these, seemingly the resource grade was a bit high, not available in the Mengmu Sea Region.

Nor could they have other online store people look for it, as it didn’’t earn spirit stones, and they currently had no such plan.

”Senior, Returning to Origin Purple God Essence is sold by the box, Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid by the bottle, valued at over ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, greatly beneficial to Unity stage experts, it’’s a must-have!”

Song Heng exclaimed again, ”But there are too many shattered spirit seal fragments, I can find those containing treasures, greatly saving senior’’s refining time.”

His plump body shook twice, he was gambling, gambling that these two seniors really had the ability to refine.

Such items weren’’t something ordinary experts could refine, otherwise, Void Refinement experts might have been all over this Trash Island, the allure of top-grade spirit stones was irresistible.

Chen Xun remained calm, just looking at him quietly, ”And your purpose? Young friend of the Tomb Luck Demon Fiend Clan.”

”I believe in my clan’’s fortune, willing to follow senior, without regret.”

”Then where is your true form?”

”Ah?”

Song Heng held his breath, his heart pounding, a chilling sensation in his limbs, ”Maybe in the Immortal Tomb... our clan is passed down through a single line, no true form, each generation is the progenitor.”

”Hehe, interesting, if I have the ability in the future, I’’ll accompany you to the Immortal Tomb.”

”Senior is noble!!”

Song Heng bowed deeply, though his goal wasn’’t really that, whoever wants to go to the Immortal Tomb can go, the clan’’s fortune was on him, the rest didn’’t matter.

Burning some low-grade spirit stones during festivals was enough, how could he, a Taoist, be constrained by his clan, finding a reliable backer was key.

”Hehe, Little Fatty.” Little Chi chuckled while lying on the ground, ”Don’’t play tricks with Xun, I’’ll be watching you every day.”

”Senior, what are you saying, Song Heng has no ulterior motives, otherwise why come to this junkyard!”

Song Heng puffed out his belly, the yellow robe looking ill-fitting on him, ”Wouldn’’t it be better to find a big force on the Southern Yu Continent?”

”The matter of sorting trash, let’’s not do it for now, we’’ll discuss it later, we don’’t have that capacity yet, first acquire the Great Desolate Black God Crystal.”

Chen Xun interrupted their argument, ”Song Heng, go find Mo Fuyang, see which online store people are willing to work with you, I don’’t like trouble and competition, that’’s the bottom line.”

Song Heng straightened his expression, solemnly cupping his hands, ”I understand, I’’ll only make them earn more.”

”Mm, go ahead, time will reveal people’’s hearts.”

Chen Xun lay back in his chair, gazing at the vast starry sky, ”A gentle breeze for ten miles, a vast starry river, this world is truly vast.”

Black Bull slowly raised his head, quietly appreciating it, Little Crane also looked up with a smile.

Only Little Chi, never interested in admiring these, kept staring at Song Heng, who was also looking at him, big eyes meeting small eyes.

Finally, Song Heng sighed inwardly, cursed his low cultivation, even losing in a staring contest, then cupped his hands and quietly left.

Little Chi turned over, lying sprawled out, joining Chen Xun and the others in watching the starry river.

In its eyes gradually appeared a sense of longing, the long sky vast, the starry river eternal.

All its darkness had been left in the past, from the moment it met Xun and the others, the harsh winter had ended, and the starry river shone brightly...
