Chapter 290: Chapter 202: Immortal Remnants

Zhou Yuan carefully examined the beautiful youth in front of him.

[Ye Youxian, male, twelve years old, belongs to the Anomalous Control Bureau’s Cultivation Department. A super charming, ethereal beauty. Although I am reluctant to admit it, in terms of charm alone, he seems to surpass you by just a tiny bit. Of course, only a tiny bit (fingertip universe).

He carries a shocking secret that involves the "Immortals" of East Continent legend and is closely related to the imminent opening of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

I know you are very curious about this shocking secret. Fortunately, you upgraded me earlier, so now I can barely see through him—he is an Immortal’s remains!]

Immortal’s remains?

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a bit shocked. This young Southern Liang had quite a background.

As he examined Ye Youxian, Ye Youxian was also examining him.

"You look at me, so I look at you."

A clear brilliance emanated from Ye Youxian’s dark eyes, as if he could directly see through a person’s soul.

"You have a powerful abnormal item that can obscure celestial secrets. I can’t see through you."

After a moment, the brilliance in Ye Youxian’s eyes slowly dissipated. He raised his hand, pointed at Zhou Yuan, and said in a resonant voice, "But I can tell you want to sleep with Ms Chen!"

Zhou Yuan: "..."

In the car, Chen Guangxi felt a wave of exasperation. Did he have to be so loud? Everyone around had heard!

She urged, "Get in the car, quickly!"

"Okay." Ye Youxian obediently pushed his suitcase to the front of the sports car, opened the front trunk, stuffed the suitcase in, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"What about me?" Zhou Yuan asked insistently. Chen Guangxi’s sports car only had one vacant seat.

"Are you going to fight a kid for a seat?" Chen Guangxi replied. "I have to take him to the local Control Bureau first. You should call for a ride."

With that, she stepped on the gas, and the sports car smoothly took off, disappearing into the distance.

"No love left." Zhou Yuan sighed and had to hail a taxi by the roadside.

In the sports car.

Ye Youxian curiously observed the cityscape outside. After a long while, he suddenly spoke up, "Ms Chen, are you two having an affair?"

"?" Chen Guangxi raised an eyebrow. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Just now, I said he wanted to sleep with you, and you didn’t react at all."

Ye Youxian said confidently, "So you two must be having an affair."

"It’s strange that you actually fancy someone... Also, that’s a cradle-snatching relationship."

Chen Guangxi’s expression turned dark. She unceremoniously slapped the back of Ye Youxian’s head, making a crisp sound. "Do I look old? Is three hundred old?"

"Compared to him, you are very old," Ye Youxian said very straightforwardly.

"What do you know? This is called a mature, intellectual older woman." Chen Guangxi gave him a sideways glance. "Besides, in terms of age, I’m not even one-tenth of your age, right?"

"I am only twelve," Ye Youxian corrected.

"If you say so, then that’s it."

Chen Guangxi didn’t dwell on the issue any longer. Her tone turned serious as she asked, "Do you feel anything since arriving in Xinheng City?"

"Yes." Ye Youxian looked up, quietly staring at the mirages reflected in the sky outside the car window.

Ancient temples, magnificent jade towers, bustling and brightly lit marketplaces...

These were fleeting ancient illusions only he could see.

"My arrival caused some special reaction, shortening the time for the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to open. In nine days, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land will officially open,"

Ye Youxian gave a precise timeline, then said, "During this period, various abnormal phenomena will occur around Xinheng City due to the increase in spiritual energy concentration. It would be advisable to evacuate all unrelated personnel."

"Evacuating millions of people is easier said than done. We can only try to address the abnormal events as they arise."

As they spoke, the road ahead suddenly bulged without warning. Green bamboo shoots sprouted from the ground, growing at a visible rate, reaching over ten meters tall in mere moments.

Screech—

A chorus of screeching brakes resounded. The moving vehicles all made emergency stops, but some were too fast to brake in time and crashed straight into the green bamboo grove, their front ends deeply dented.

Chen Guangxi stepped on the brake. The car came to a sudden stop in front of the bamboo grove. She was stunned, because these bamboos were very unusual. Each segment was transparent, green as jade, with leaves that sparkled brightly.

These were transcendent plants!

"The anomalies have already begun," Ye Youxian said softly.

"The road is blocked. Let’s teleport directly." Chen Guangxi’s eyes glowed silver. She activated her spatial magic, teleporting the entire car to the entrance of the Xinheng City Control Bureau.

On the road clogged with vehicles, Zhou Yuan got out of his car and walked, soon arriving at the green bamboo grove. He looked up to observe.

"Hmm, this thing looks delicious."

He spotted a white, glistening fruit at the top of one jade bamboo. It exuded a rich life aura and emitted a fragrant smell.

Zhou Yuan leaped up, picked the fruit, which had a crystalline sheen and a rich scent, clearly not an ordinary item.

[Name: Jade Bamboo Fruit]

[Note: Delicious and tasty. Consuming it slightly enhances physical strength.]

"Hello, friend."

A woman in a sea-blue robe gracefully landed, her long hair flowing, her features exquisite and beautiful, exuding a celestial aura. She smiled warmly, "Can you sell me this fruit?"

"Fifty thousand." Zhou Yuan named his price. The fruit’s effect was of no use to him, at most a snack.

"Deal."

"Cash or card?"

"There’s a bank over there. Let’s go for a transfer," the woman in the sea-blue robe pointed to a nearby bank.

"Fair enough."

They quickly completed the transaction. Through their small talk, Zhou Yuan learned that the female cultivator’s name was Chu Ying and she came from the Penglai Immortal Island.

Penglai Immortal Island was a supernatural organization. Its members were all cultivators, known for their pursuit of immortality. Their overall strength was notable on an international scale.

This time, with the opening of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, those who followed the cultivation system naturally flocked to the event.

Chu Ying came because she sensed abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations and rushed over immediately.

"With the Cave Heaven Blessed Land about to open, the anomalies in Xinheng City will only increase. If you find any similar celestial treasures you want to sell, feel free to contact me. Penglai is not short on money," Chu Ying said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhou Yuan smiled a business-like smile in return.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded from afar, bursting with terrifying energy waves, with a raging hurricane spreading out.

An old voice sounded: "Today, I will taste this dragon meat..."

Chu Ying frowned, "This aura... It’s from the Nine Heavens Gate. Why did an old man come? Have the old folks come out of seclusion?"

She turned her head, only to find Zhou Yuan had disappeared.
