Chapter 994: The Old Man's Reward

Nie Chen had considered her mother's suggestion before, but after thinking about it for a moment, she rejected it herself.

No matter how difficult their grandparents and grandchildren lived here, this is their home after all, and they have many relatives and friends. This will be somewhat secure for their lives.

Once you enter the cave, it will be an unfamiliar environment. They will lose all their loved ones, they will lose all their dependents, and it will not be a good thing for them.

This was just a small episode, and Nie Chen just dealt with it casually and didn't take it too seriously. But to her surprise, only a stick of incense time had passed, and the old man hurried back again.

"Benefactor, it's good that you didn't leave. Wait a minute, I have something for you. Seeing Nie Chen, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send me something, there's no need for this!" Nie Chen was stunned.

She is a true God, she has nothing in her hands, how can she lack the things of a common people. When the other party does this, he must want to repay himself. But they all had a difficult life, and Nie Chen was embarrassed to ask for their things.

"No, benefactor. This thing, we don't use, but it may be a little different for you. The old man explained.

"What is it?" Nie Chen was aroused.

The old man sighed, and his voice was slightly low: "For this thing, I took the lives of my son and daughter-in-law." A few years ago, they went out to collect herbs to subsidize their family. Results ......"

The old man's son and daughter-in-law usually make a living from farming. In his spare time, he will also go to the mountains to collect some herbs and the like to supplement his family.

This is not just their family, but also the people in the vicinity. This makes herbs slowly scarce in the nearby mountains. If they want to get something, they have to search farther into the mountains.

That time, they had gone a little far. On a large mountain hundreds of miles from home, search for herbs that may grow.

As a result, the herbs were not found, but instead they found a treasure. On top of the snow-capped mountain opposite them, there was something that radiated multicolored light.

The light comes and goes, but it doesn't change its position. The two hesitated, thinking that the family was poor, and the treasure should be able to be sold for a lot of money, so they took the risk to collect it.

It went well when they went up, and the two of them finally got the thing. But when going down the mountain, it fell directly down the mountain because the ice and snow were too slippery.

The daughter-in-law was seriously injured on the spot, and the son was also seriously injured. He trekked home with his wife, aggravated his injuries, and eventually died.

This thing, they brought it back. When the family was short of money, the old man wanted to sell it. But that thing was just a fragment, and it didn't have the ability to shine when it got home. When you get it on the street, no one wants it at all. If he hadn't seen that this thing was exchanged for his son and daughter-in-law's life, the old man would have thrown it away or broken it a long time ago.

This time Nie Chen came to help, and the old man saw that Nie Chen was extraordinary. I felt guilty and couldn't be rewarded, so I thought of that thing. He felt that Nie Chen was not an ordinary person, or could discover the value of that thing. Only then did he rush back to keep Nie Chen and let his granddaughter go home to get it.

"Snow Mountain, what Snow Mountain?" Nie Chen's heart moved.

"I don't know exactly where it is. Like, what is it called, the ethereal mountain? The old man groaned.

"Ethereal Mountain!" Nie Chen's heart moved.

Could it be that what he was searching for was taken away by those two mortals? If this is the case, those monks who have left behind by themselves will not gain anything even if they turn over the entire Ethereal Mountain.

The old man's family lives outside the city, although it is not very far, but it is more than ten miles away. With the footsteps of the old man's granddaughter, I am afraid that it will take nearly an hour to go back and forth. Nie Chen didn't want to wait, so he took the old man out directly and caught up with his granddaughter who was trotting all the way.

"Are you an immortal?" Seeing that Nie Chen could fly, her granddaughter Xiao'e looked envious.

"Sort of. Nie Chen smiled and walked quickly with her.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were already outside the city. Under the command of the old man, he found the old man's home and quickly fell down.

The old man beckoned Nie Chen into the house, and then instructed his granddaughter to make tea. He himself went into the backyard, dug out the buried things from the ground, and sent them to Nie Chen.

"Benefactor, this is the thing that killed my son and daughter-in-law. You see, if it's useful, take it, if it's really a waste, then just throw it away. ”

Nie Chen took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but jump in his heart. This is a broken three-legged tripod, but the damage is somewhat serious, and the remaining tripod body is less than one-third. The structure of the small tripod is still there, and you can see the remaining part of the tripod body, which is carved with dense antique patterns.

Nie Chen touched it, but he didn't feel like he was touching the iron piece. Nie Chen couldn't be sure for a moment whether this was what he was looking for.

After thinking about it for a while, Nie Chen took out the piece of iron from the cave heaven and tried to splice it on top of the remnant of the Dao. The first piece was fruitless, but the second piece fits perfectly in one position.

"It seems that the previous guess was correct, this is indeed a part of the Purple Cloud Treasure Ding. It's just very strange, why is there no kind of power of fragments on this remnant?" Nie Chen was very puzzled in his heart.

"Benefactor, this thing?" Seeing that Nie Chen was silent, the old man asked tentatively.

"Old man, this thing is very useful to me, and I really want to thank you this time. Nie Chen thanked him.

"It's good to be useful! If it's useful to a benefactor, my heart will feel better. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had repaid Nie Chen.

Nie Chen smiled, thanked him again, and then left the old man's house. However, before leaving, Nie Chen secretly left a spell clone.

This doppelganger only has Jin Dan Xiuwei, turned into a wisp of light smoke, and blended into Xiao'e's shadow. This doppelganger will last for a hundred years, protecting the safety of Xiao'e's family, which can be regarded as Nie Chen's reward for their gift.

Nie Chen returned to the city and found his parents. After being informed, he rushed towards the Ethereal Mountain. As long as his parents are safe, Nie Chen is handed over to the madman.

His cultivation is almost invincible in this world. As long as Tianxingjun doesn't make a move, the safety of his parents will definitely not be a problem. Nie Chen also considered that they had just walked out, otherwise they would all be in the cave, and their safety would be more guaranteed.

Back at Ethereal Mountain, Nie Chen found Gu Feng and directly sent the remnants to him.

"Look at this!"

Gu Feng was stunned, took a closer look, and showed excitement on his face: "This, could it be the remains of the Purple Cloud Treasure Ding, where did you get it?"

"It must be that thing, I got it by accident from an old man. Strangely, there is no power of iron on it, and it seems that something different has changed on it. Nie Chen explained.

"Different variations, I may know a little. Gu Feng's gaze fell on the Ethereal Mountain.
