Chapter 1076: Smoke Workshop Manager

The green lamp was broken, and the firelight was eerie.

When the shopkeeper, who hadn't paid much attention to Luo Chen, saw this scene, he asked casually:

"Want to buy it?"

Luo Chen avoided answering, instead pursuing the origin of the lamp.

The fat shopkeeper frowned and dealt with it: "How else could it come? Collected! Wanxiang Pavilion covers all sizes of towns in the Great Destruction Realm. As long as there are slightly special treasures, we collect them. This lamp isn't considered very valuable. The previous shopkeeper didn't take it when he left office, so it was left behind."

Regarding this statement, there wasn't much information inside.

And this lamp, as the fat shopkeeper said, was indeed not considered a valuable object.

But to Luo Chen, it was of extraordinary significance!

Because this lamp was his former magic treasure, named the Broken-Phase Green Lamp!

Yes, it was just a magic treasure, obtained when Luo Chen went to the Southern Border and destroyed the Zhaoying Sect on the way.

Later, on the Mije Mountain, in order to practice the Empty Prohibition among the seven basic prohibitions, Luo Chen observed the space nodes on the Mije Mountain day and night. In the process, Luo Chen did many experiments. Among them, there was an experiment Luo Chen tried several times.

That was to put some items marked with marks and clues in a storage bag, and then forcibly break the storage bag. Through the breakage of such space magic treasures, he observed the finest space fluctuations.

In the experiment, there was a phenomenon that made Luo Chen very curious.

That was, as the storage bag broke, some of the treasures inside would fall into the real world, while others would mysteriously disappear and go missing.

Even if Luo Chen once made soul, magic power, and even blood energy marks on those items, he couldn't track their whereabouts.

The Broken-Phase Green Lamp was one of the experimental objects that disappeared!

What Luo Chen never expected was that this object would appear in the small Qingshan Town.

Even though the spiritual sense marks and magic power marks on it had been completely erased, there were still a small amount of blood energy marks remaining, which was why Luo Chen could easily activate it.

"I'm asking if you're buying it or not?" The fat shopkeeper was a bit impatient and urged.

Luo Chen stared at the green lamp for a long time, and finally put it down.

"If you don't buy it, don't ask questions, wasting time, go, go..."

Regarding this bad attitude, Luo Chen didn't care and left the Wanxiang Pavilion while thinking.

After he left, the fat shopkeeper began to organize the items Luo Chen had touched. When he touched the slightly hot green lamp, he suddenly remembered something, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

"How could he activate this thing?"

The Qingshan Smoke Workshop was established in Qingshan Town, and its area was very large.

There were many houses of all sizes, and there were also many raw materials piled up.

This smoke workshop integrated raw material processing, rough processing, and fine processing. Every year, a large amount of Immortal Smoke was born from the Qingshan Smoke Workshop and then transported to the main city by specialized caravans.

Under a big tree at the entrance, Luo Chen stood in the green shade, rubbing his chin slightly, looking thoughtful.

He could be completely sure that the green lamp was his experimental magic treasure from back then, but why it appeared here made him unable to figure it out.

The Broken-Phase Green Lamp itself wasn't valuable, so he didn't intend to buy it.

But Luo Chen vaguely realized that the reason why the Broken-Phase Green Lamp appeared here might have an extremely important connection with his ending up in the Great Destruction Realm, or perhaps it was the same answer!

"Why exactly?"

"Clearly, the storage bags were shattered in the Mountain Sea World, but some treasures always disappeared and went missing. Did those missing treasures all come to the Great Destruction Realm?"

"Then what kind of existence is this Great Destruction Realm?"

While thinking, faint noisy sounds came from inside the smoke workshop.

Luo Chen frowned and looked over.

"I didn't expect Xiao Lan to be so beautiful!"

"It's almost noon, why go back when it's so hot? Why not go to my place for a meal?"

"What are you hiding from..."

Lai Er looked at the woman dodging in front of him, his eyes flashing with lewd light.

He never expected that this ordinary female worker named Jing Lan in the smoke workshop actually had such a beautiful face!

If it weren't for taking time to come to the smoke workshop today, he would have missed it.

Usually, the other party was covered in dust, and because the smell was pungent when making smoke, plus this Jing Lan had always been reclusive and introverted, he hadn't paid much attention to her.

Today, although she still didn't dress up much, just wiping away the smoke ash on her face and slightly drawing her eyebrows and moisturizing her lips gave people a feeling of a lotus flower emerging from clear water.

Such beauty could be called a heavenly person in the nearby ten-mile and eight-village area.

"Why not follow me, Second Master? Eat well and dress warmly, and you don't have to do these hard jobs every day. Look at these little hands, they've become rough..."

While speaking, he had already reached out his hand.

Jing Lan was full of panic, and her eyes were filled with mist.

Who in Qingshan Town didn't know Lai Er's reputation?

Relying on his management position in the smoke workshop, he had been acting recklessly for many years, and he had five or six concubines at home.

But the lives of those women weren't good!

After Lai Er got tired of playing with them, they still had to engage in various heavy and tiring work, and the money they earned had to be used to support Lai Er in return.

The hardship in between was even worse than that of ordinary farmers.

She went out with Luo Chen today and dressed up slightly by accident, but was targeted by this Lai Er.

From then on, I'm afraid the days of working in the smoke workshop would never be peaceful again.

Watching Lai Er reach out, she slapped him away and ran out in a panic.

Lai Er naturally wouldn't let the beauty he had finally discovered run away and was about to chase, but a tall figure blocked his way.

"Who are you?"

Luo Chen didn't look at him, but at Jing Lan.

Jing Lan showed a look of relief, then bit her lip and shook her head.

Seeing this scene of exchanging glances, Lai Er was furious.

"This is an important place in the smoke workshop. Who allowed you, an outsider, to come in? Looking for a beating!"

Amidst the angry shout, Lai Er punched Luo Chen.

Slap!

A fist as big as a sandbag was held in a palm.

Luo Chen didn't care at all, instead looking up at a small building in the distance.

A gaze full of doubt met his.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..."

Lai Er's miserable howl sounded in his ear. Luo Chen snorted, let go casually, and several invisible energy forces drilled into him.

Lai Er looked at the other party in horror, large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. His arm was already hanging weakly on his shoulder.

"You..."

"Let's go!"

Luo Chen turned and stepped out of the smoke workshop, with Jing Lan following closely behind.

Lai Er just watched, unable to raise any intention of revenge, only fear in his heart.

Out of the smoke workshop.

Jing Lan suddenly said: "That person has nothing to do with me."

Luo Chen responded casually.

Jing Lan bit her lip, "He is a small manager of the smoke workshop, responsible for the processing of Midie trees, and usually also takes care of guard duties. I'm afraid there will be revenge later..."

The woman's words were interrupted by Luo Chen.

"Don't worry."

Just four words, but they brought Jing Lan great security, as if whatever the other party said was true.

She put on her hat, lowered her head, and followed Luo Chen, gradually leaving Qingshan Town.

And in the smoke workshop.

An old man with a slightly gloomy face stood upstairs, still looking in the direction where Luo Chen and the two left.

He waved his hand, and then someone hurried upstairs.

"Go and check that man!"

After the trip to Qingshan Town, the lives of Luo Chen and Jing Lan didn't change at all.

It was still the same as before, farming early, resting at noon, and doing some simple farm work while it was cool in the evening.

Although Luo Chen's body was still thin, his state was getting better day by day.

Perhaps because of the newly harvested rice, Jing Lan's meals had been quite good recently, at least not as porridge-based as at the beginning.

Because of the food, plus the deliberate dressing up, Jing Lan's complexion was more rosy, and her temperament had changed quite a bit from before.

In the village, everyone said it was because she had a man.

But in fact, that man didn't stay on her face after she deliberately dressed up for even half a minute, but often looked at the vast sky and was lost in thought.

Jing Lan didn't know why and could only feel sad secretly.

On this day, in the evening, Jing Lan, who was sewing new clothes in the room, vaguely heard footsteps outside.

She hurried out and was stunned at just one glance.

"Manager Yan, why are you here?"

Manager Yan's gloomy face looked a bit amiable today.

"Xiao Lan, where is your man?"

Jing Lan hesitated and said: "He went to the back mountain to fetch water."

The well used for water in the village was in the back mountain, and Luo Chen had been the one fetching it these days.

Hearing this, Manager Yan was a bit surprised.

That kind of person would actually do these things?

"Then let's wait a while!"

Manager Yan waved his hand, and the group of servants who followed him put down the things they were carrying, and then went outside to wait.

Jing Lan didn't understand and asked worriedly: "Manager Yan, you came here, it wouldn't be for Lai Er's matter, right?"

Manager Yan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Lai Er died of illness a few days ago."

"Ah!" Jing Lan was stunned.

Just then, a figure walked over from the back mountain, with two water buckets carried beside him, steady and not splashing a drop of water.

Back home, he didn't seem surprised by Manager Yan's arrival and poured the water into the vat at home by himself.

Jing Lan followed behind, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Stay at home!"

Luo Chen ordered casually, then walked out, just looking at Manager Yan who was waiting patiently.

"You came later than I thought." ===== CHAPTER 1079 =====
