Master, How Did You Get Here So Fast?

"No, he's already gone back. You can go find him at the Heaven-Piercing Sect when you have time."

Liang Si responded.

Lu Changzhi nodded.

Fine.

It's not about having a meeting.

Otherwise, this place would truly be completely filled today.

After chatting with Liang Si about some other things, Lu Changzhi was finally able to rest.

He took out the large bed that Huang Zhan had sent and lay down on it.

A moment later, a look of satisfaction visibly appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

This bed is really nice!

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

On the other side.

After a short rest, Gu Chen followed the system's task guidance and arrived at the check-in location.

The surrounding area was neither bustling nor prosperous; in fact, it had a somewhat deserted feel to it.

The environment for cultivation there is significantly different from that in the Central Province.

"A hundred miles deep."

Gu Chen looked at it for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen then took out the spear.

Self-digging is one method.

However, instead of doing that, it would be better to use this opportunity to practice marksmanship by thrusting the spear into the ground, thus achieving both goals simultaneously.

Boom boom boom!

Soon, muffled thuds began to emanate from beneath the ground, accompanied by continuous tremors.

Gu Chen's figure continued to advance deeper into the ground.

Nothing unexpected happened during the entire process.

The only noteworthy point is that as the depth increases, the rate of descent also begins to slow down.

Around noon.

Above the ground, there was a dark hole that seemed to be almost bottomless.

"We should be there soon."

Gu Chen extended his divine sense and made a rough estimate.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen continued digging.

Another half hour passed.

Finally.

The guiding light of the system has reached its end.

At this moment, the pressure from all sides had reached a point where it could only be resisted by exerting all one's strength.

Gu Chen stopped moving and thought to himself.

"System, check-in."

After the voice faded, a system notification sounded a moment later:

"Congratulations, host, you have completed the daily check-in task and received the following rewards: Cultivation Increase*1, Mid-Grade Saint Artifact - Grave-Digging Shovel *1, Strength*3."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen began to investigate.

Soon, his expression became somewhat strange.

"Is this Grave-Digging Shovel a reward?"

According to the system's description of the item, this shovel is used for digging.

Compared to ordinary tools such as shovels, it can greatly improve efficiency.

Of course, it is ultimately Saint Artifact, and it has special features, namely that it can excavate certain levels of array restrictions, open up paths, and make the tombs of the deceased impossible to defend against.

However, given the current situation...

The task is complete, the tools are in hand, but it still feels a little lacking.

But at least I got the sign-in reward.

Composing himself, Gu Chen said softly.

Last time I did the sign-in task, I traveled a long way, but I couldn't sign in successfully no matter what I did, and in the end I didn't get anything.

In comparison, at least this time there was a reward.

"There must be a reason why the system set the check-in location here."

With his mind leaving the system, Gu Chen's attention wandered to his surroundings.

Based on experience, the system's check-in locations almost always involve some kind of information.

"Now, in such a deep location, we've been rewarded with this shovel. Could it be that there's a tomb nearby?"

Thinking of the Grave-Digging Shovel as a mission reward, Gu Chen made a guess.

In an instant, Gu Chen's thoughts spread out in all directions as much as possible.

A short while later, Gu Chen's expression shifted slightly.

He looked down in one direction ahead.

"There seems to be something over there!"

The distance is too great, and the perception is affected by the earth, so the feeling is not very accurate, but it is certain that there must be something unique about it.

Gu Chen took out his newly acquired shovel and continued digging deeper.

Soon, Gu Chen gave the Grave-Digging Shovel in his hand an appreciative look.

It truly deserves to be called Saint Artifact.

Fast and good!

As the distance gradually closes, until they are almost touching.

Ahead, a huge bone appeared, which at first glance looked like white jade that had faded a bit, as if it had undergone the baptism of a long time, but its surface was still incomparably shiny.

Gu Chen sensed it.

This complete bone is both incredibly long and large.

I glanced at it using the system.

The next moment, Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed.

"This is actually the bone of a dragon?!"

Gu Chen was immediately shocked.

It's not that I've never seen a dragon before; after all, Black Dragon has the word "dragon" in its name.

However, compared to the bones of the giant dragon before them, its size paled in comparison and was nothing special.

"I never expected to find dragon bones."

After calming himself down, Gu Chen tried to sense the condition of the dragon bone.

Despite the influence of the earth, the sheer scale of the place was so vast that even with his mental power, he could not fully comprehend it.

No wonder it's called a dragon.

With a sigh, Gu Chen began to ponder.

Given the scale of the operation, it would likely take him a considerable amount of time to handle it on his own.

Furthermore, based on his limited knowledge, dragons, unlike Black Dragon, are not considered to be of legitimate Dragon Race bloodline.

He has not yet reached the Saint Realm, and his strength is limited. If any unexpected situation arises, he will be severely restricted underground.

With this thought in mind, Gu Chen made his decision.

Ask for Master's opinion!

Immediately, Gu Chen took out the communication stone and sent the news of the unexpected discovery of the dragon's bone to Lu Changzhi.

After doing all this, Gu Chen kept a certain distance and waited for Lu Changzhi's response.

At the same time, try to recall the benefits of the dragon's bones for cultivation.

About half an incense stick's time passed.

Brush.

Lu Changzhi's figure appeared on the ground.

"I never expected to reach the dragon's bones so quickly, in one go."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi stepped out and entered the cave.

"But what unexpected situation occurred?"

Seeing Gu Chen standing to the side, Lu Changzhi asked.

Gu Chen snapped back to reality, looked at Lu Changzhi who had appeared before him, and subconsciously said:

"Master, how did you get here so fast!"

Lu Changzhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, looked at the dragon bones in front of him, and said:

"Tell me the specifics?"

Gu Chen nodded:

"I sensed something unusual here, so I tried digging around. I never expected to find such a large bone. This aura is somewhat similar to that of the Black Dragon. It must be the giant dragon described in the book."

Lu Changzhi nodded, sensed it briefly, and said:

"It does look somewhat familiar."

However, he wasn't familiar with Black Dragon.

It was more of a feeling that I couldn't quite describe.

"So you're planning to let me take it back?" Lu Changzhi asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said:

"The main issue is that I've never been exposed to this before. Even though the sect has relevant experience, there's not much information available on this topic. I wanted to hear your plans, Master, but I didn't expect..."

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"You didn't expect me to come, did you?"

After saying this, Lu Changzhi walked forward and said:

"First, examine the remains of this dragon to see if they are well-preserved."
