Chen Lin looked at the enormous piece of blackstone floating before him.
His brows knitted tightly.
He sensed no special energy from it-not even the slightest fluctuation-but something that could float in midair was hardly likely to be an ordinary rock.
He observed it for a while.
When he found no clues, Chen Lin stopped dwelling on it.
He left the Grotto-Heaven and returned to his physical body, put away the Spirit Boat, and flew toward the city.
The Black Armor Duke was a bizarre creature, after all. His way of cultivating differed from that of cultivators, so naturally, the things he used were different too. Chen Lin's inability to sense anything unusual about the giant stone did not mean it was not a treasure.
He could study it at his leisure later.
As soon as he returned to his Immortal Cave, Chen Lin received a report.
Elder Yu had come to visit.
He immediately rose to welcome him, led him into the guest hall, and asked, "Elder, have you come in person because the City Lord has returned?"
"Not yet."
Elder Yu smiled.
Then he took out several items and placed them before Chen Lin.
"The City Lord will need some more time to return, but we cannot delay delivering the things we promised you. Here are the Territory Document, the Elder Token, and the contract for the shops. There are also a few little things as a token of my regard."
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
Passing over the Contract Document and token, he picked up the remaining three items one by one.
The first was a jade box.
When he opened it, he found a dull gray pill inside, giving off a strange aura.
"This is a Duanxuan Pill."
Elder Yu's voice sounded at just the right moment.
