Chapter 1111 Fragments
"Heh heh, two hundred spirit stones! That's enough for two more jars of wine today!" wap.kanshuwu.net
As the three of them were teasing each other, they saw Chen Yang staring at them intently.
Chen Yang's gaze held no resentment. He had seen too many scams, and the one these three had pulled was just a very low-level trick in his eyes.
The reason he fell for it was because he genuinely fancied the fragments.
The three of them stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Since you're here to eat, why not sit down for a meal?"
Chen Yang's sudden remark not only stunned the three of them but even made Ananda dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Did Young Master Chen not realize that the person they were just talking about was him?
Seeing the three about to flee, Chen Yang said to Ananda, "Call those three back. I have something to ask them."
Although Ananda was large in stature, his cultivation realm was not to be trifled with.
He leaped down from the second floor, blocked the three's path, and snorted, "My Young Master has invited you. Please don't refuse."
Facing Ananda's almost threatening tone, the three showed no weakness.
"Fatty, take a good look at where you are! This is not your territory; this is the black market!"
As they spoke, they saw black market guards patrolling.
They quickly waved for them to come and handle the situation.
However, before the three could even speak after the black market guards arrived in front of the restaurant, they saw the guards greet Ananda first.
"Brother Ananda, when did you get here?"
"I saw Mi Chuanwei on the way just now. Are you traveling together?"
Ananda smiled and nodded, "Haha, I always have to keep a closer eye on my own business. Nothing is wrong here, I'll find you for a drink another day."
The black market guards were not fools and naturally knew that something had happened here.
However, they also recognized the three people in front of them; they were notorious scammers in the black market.
They glared at the three menacingly, warning them with their eyes.
After they left, Ananda said, "Gentlemen, don't make me waste my breath. The person upstairs has a bad temper. If you anger him, no one can protect you three."
Only then did the three realize that they had indeed kicked an iron plate today.
After following Ananda upstairs, Chen Yang had already prepared bowls and chopsticks.
"You three are here to eat, aren't you? I happen to have some things to ask you about. I'll treat you to this meal today."
Chen Yang first briefly asked about the origins of the three.
When he heard their names, Chen Yang was stunned.
The three were named Jin Yi, Jin Er, and Jin San.
"You three don't look alike? Are you brothers?"
As he delved deeper, Chen Yang learned that the three were all orphans who had lived together since childhood and did not have their own names.
They were called Jin because the person who occasionally gave them food was named Jin.
Ananda asked with confusion, "Your cultivation has already reached the Foundation Establishment realm. Why bother doing this? Can't you earn spirit stones anywhere else?"
A hint of bitterness appeared on Jin Yi's face, "We've been wild since we were young and can't stand being disciplined. Also, don't be fooled by our Foundation Establishment realm; we're not that strong in actual combat."
"The cultivation techniques we learned are the worst. We can only rely on that little bit of talent."
Speaking of which, Jin Yi further explained about the item he had sold to Chen Yang earlier.
"That item, I did indeed retrieve it from a ruin!"
"I just had a chat with my two brothers, and it was mostly bragging."
Jin Yi's forehead was beaded with sweat. The black market guards recognized this fatty, and not just casually.
The person this fatty called Young Master in front of him probably had an extraordinary background.
One word from such a person could be enough to turn them to dust.
Chen Yang chuckled, "Of course, I know this item is real. Otherwise, how could I have spent two hundred spirit stones? You don't really think I'm a fool, do you?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
So he knew everything?
Jin Yi annoyedly patted his forehead, "You see the mess we've made. I said it, how could someone like you not see through the trick?"
After drinking two cups of wine, Chen Yang took out the item and placed it on the table, asking calmly, "Since you know the origin of this item, tell me about the ruins."
Chen Yang was very concerned about the fragment in his hand.
Under these circumstances, Jin Yi naturally dared not hide anything. He recounted how he obtained the item from beginning to end.
"You mean when you entered the ruins, they were already mostly destroyed?"
"And this item was just something you picked up casually?"
Seeing Jin Yi nod, Chen Yang took out two mid-grade spirit stones and threw them on the table, "Do you have any other fragments? Give them all to me."
Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately took out a handful of fragments from his pocket.
After Chen Yang collected them without a trace, he said, "You've taken the spirit stones too. I'm not a bandit; consider it a transaction."
With that, Chen Yang left the restaurant.
Ananda hurried to follow. He couldn't understand why Young Master Chen was so concerned about these fragments from the ruins.
However, along the way, Young Master Chen remained silent, and his expression was not good. Ananda did not dare to ask more questions.
After boarding the ship, Chen Yang directly locked the cabin door and formed a barrier with his spiritual power.
Only then did he feel at ease and took out all the fragments from the ruins.
The reason Chen Yang could recognize that these fragments from the ruins were real was that the script on the fragments was not the ancient script of the Earth Realm, but the script used by the Human Race!
"Emperor, Human, Destroy..."
Chen Yang recognized each word, but these words combined did not form a complete sentence.
Fortunately, these fragments were enough to prove one thing: the Human Race's power in the Earth Realm back then was probably not small.
According to Jin Yi, the ruins he had visited were several times larger than a city in the Earth Realm.
Although they had all become ruins, one could still vaguely see their past glory.
Originally, Chen Yang wanted to ask about the location of the ruins, but Jin Yi later explained that the passage to the ruins had been destroyed, and the entire ruins had long since fallen into a spatial rift.
Just as Chen Yang was pondering how to find this clue, the bronze cauldron within his body suddenly devoured these ruins.
Chen Yang was stunned, and only after a long while did he react.
After the bronze cauldron devoured the remains of the ruins, the few inscriptions on the cauldron began to emit a faint golden light!
