Chapter 1078: Smoke Workshop Manager

~10 min read 1,891 words

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

When the shopkeeper, who didn't care much about Luo Chen, saw this scene, he asked casually:

"Want to buy it?"

Luo Chen avoided answering, but instead asked about the origin of the lamp.

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

For this statement, there was not much information in it.

And this lamp was indeed not very valuable, just as the fat shopkeeper said.

But for Luo Chen, it was of extraordinary significance!

Because this lamp was his former magic tool, named Broken Phase Green Lamp!

Yes, it was just a magic tool, which Luo Chen obtained when he went to the Southern Border and destroyed the Zhaoying Sect by the way.

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

That is, to put some items marked with clues in the storage bag, and then forcibly break the storage bag. Through the shattering of this space magic treasure, he observed the most subtle spatial fluctuations.

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

That is, as the storage bag shattered, some of the treasures inside would fall into the real world, while others would disappear strangely and go missing.

Even if Luo Chen made soul, magic power, and even blood and 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 thing would appear in the small Qingshan Town.

Even though the spiritual sense marks and magic power marks on it had been completely wiped out, there were still a small amount of blood and energy marks remaining, which was why Luo Chen could easily excite 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, why ask so many questions, wasting time, go, go, go..."

For this bad attitude, Luo Chen didn't care, thinking about it and left Wanxiang Pavilion.

After he left, the fat shopkeeper began to organize the objects 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 excite this thing?"

Qingshan Smoke Workshop is built in Qingshan Town, covering a huge area.

There are many large and small houses, and there are also many accumulated raw materials.

This smoke workshop integrates raw material processing, rough processing, and fine processing. Every year, a large amount of Mi Xian Smoke is born from the Qingshan Smoke Workshop, and then transported to the main city by special caravans.

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

He could be completely sure that the green lamp was his experimental magic tool from back then, but why it appeared here made him puzzled.

The Broken Phase Green Lamp itself is not 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, and it might even be the same answer!

"What on earth is the reason?"

"Clearly it was a storage bag shattered in the Mountain Sea Realm, but some treasures would always disappear. Did those disappeared treasures all come to the Great Destruction Realm?"

"What kind of existence is this Great Destruction Realm?"

During his thinking, noisy sounds came from 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 thought that this ordinary female worker named Jing Lan in the smoke workshop actually had such a good-looking 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 soot, and because the smell was pungent when making smoke, plus this Jing Lan had always been lonely and introverted, he didn't pay much attention to her.

Today, although the other party still didn't dress up much, just wiping off the smoke on her face and slightly drawing her eyebrows and moisturizing her lips gave people a feeling of clear water coming out of the hibiscus.

Such beauty can be called a heavenly person in the nearby ten miles and eight villages.

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

During the conversation, he had already reached out his hand.

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

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

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

But the days of those women are not easy!

After being played with by Lai Er, they still have to engage in various heavy and tiring work, and the money they earn has to be used to support Lai Er in turn.

The hardship in between is even worse than ordinary farmers.

She accompanied Luo Chen out today, and by some stroke of luck, she dressed up slightly, but was targeted by Lai Er.

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

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

Lai Er naturally wouldn't let the beauty he 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 looked at Jing Lan.

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

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

"This is a restricted area of the smoke workshop, who allowed you to enter, looking for a beating!"

During the angry shout, Lai Er punched Luo Chen.

Slap!

The fist as big as a sandbag was held in the palm of a hand.

Luo Chen didn't care, but raised his head and looked at a small building in the distance.

A gaze full of doubt met his.

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

Lai Er's miserable howl sounded in his ears. Luo Chen let out a light hum, let go casually, and several invisible energy forces drilled up.

Lai Er looked at the other party in horror, with large beads of sweat on his forehead, and that arm was already hanging weakly on his arm.

"You..."

"Let's go!"

Luo Chen turned and stepped out of the smoke workshop, and Jing Lan followed closely.

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 Mi Die trees, and usually takes care of the guard duty. I'm afraid there will be revenge later..."

The woman's words were interrupted by Luo Chen.

"Don't worry."

Only four words, but it brought Jing Lan great security, as if what the other party said was what it was.

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

And in the smoke workshop.

An old man with a slightly gloomy face stood on the building, still looking at the direction 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.

Just like before, getting up early to farm, 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 new rice harvested, 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 became more rosy, and her temperament was quite different 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 kind 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 at the back mountain facing the sun, and Luo Chen had been the one to fetch it these days.

Hearing this, Manager Yan was a bit surprised.

That kind of person would actually do these things?

"Then wait a moment!"

Manager Yan waved his hand, and the group of servants who followed 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, wouldn't it be for Lai Er's matter?"

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

"Ah!" Jing Lan was stunned.

Just at this moment, a figure walked over from the back mountain, with two buckets of water on his side, steady and not splashing a drop of water.

Returning home, he didn't seem surprised by Manager Yan's arrival, and poured the water into the vat in the house on his own.

Jing Lan followed behind, wanting to speak but stopping.

"You stay in the house!"

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

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