Volume 1 Chapter 18: Divine Movement Armor

  "A rotten piece of wood and a jade pendant that looks like something from a street stall, you think you can exchange it for my hundred or so catties of wine? No way." Jiang Feng shook his head.

  "Is this still not enough? Let me think, let me think." The old man said. Looking at his expression, he was indeed thinking very seriously.

  Jiang Feng poured a bowl of wine for the old man and told him to think slowly. He himself took away the token and jade plate with ease, lowering his head to study them somewhere.

  The old man hadn't drunk yet and was still thinking. Not long after, the old man's eyes lit up and with a joyful face said: "There is one thing you will definitely like. This one will do."

  As soon as he finished speaking, an old man's hand appeared with a sleeve of clothes. Jiang Feng took a look and felt that it was very familiar. The old man also became somewhat complacent at this time.

  "How's that, it's okay. This sleeve is just what you're missing. And then I'll give you a message for free, so you have the chance to get treasure." The old man said.

  Jiang Feng lowered his head, reached out to pull open some of his own tattered clothes, and saw the golden armor inside. No wonder the sleeves looked so familiar, they were actually similar to the broken armor on his body.

  "Don't look anymore, it's just what fell off your clothes. Put it on, it will definitely fit." the old man said.

  Jiang Feng was certain then that the sleeve should be the missing part of his own armor. He said, "Just one sleeve? Is there no other part?"

  "It's gone. If I had it, I would have given it to you together." The old man said. He didn't seem to be lying.

  Jiang Feng thought for a moment and decided to let it go. Don't be ungrateful anymore, or you might provoke the other party and put your own life in danger.

  "Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you." Jiang Feng said, and handed over the water bag. The old man took it with a look of excitement on his face.

  Looking at the sleeve in his hand, the floral pattern on it was indeed the same as the one on the horse jacket. Jiang Feng said: "What's the name of this garment? How did you get a sleeve? Can other parts be found?"

  "That's a divine armor, very useful for escaping. I also picked it up unintentionally. As for whether the other parts can be found, that's unknown. If I had the whole thing, I wouldn't even want to give it to you." The old man said.

  Jiang Feng hummed in response and pulled his sleeves back. The old man, after finishing the bowl of wine Jiang Feng had just poured for him, said: "Listen up, there's a treasure hidden underground in this city. You can go get it. However, there are some strange creatures down there, so be careful. If you're not careful, you might lose your life. As for where the treasure is, someone will come to tell you soon. I'm leaving now, see you again if we have the chance."

  After finishing speaking, the old man flashed and disappeared. Jiang Feng was pondering what treasure or monster it was while also letting out a sigh of relief. Who knew that he had just let out a breath when the old man flew in again from outside the window.

  "Haven't even asked your name yet, how can I find you later?" said the old man.

  "Jiang Feng, one of the six ancestors of Wuxing Jianzong. I am the ancestor of that sword lineage." Jiang Feng said honestly. He thought it was pointless to come up with a fake name anyway. Might as well use Wuxing Jianzong to scare the old man.

  Who knew that the old man just hummed a sound, without any expression, and flew out of the window and disappeared. Jiang Feng thought to himself, could it be that he didn't believe that he was one of the six ancestors?

  The second floor became quiet again. Jiang Feng sat dazed for a while, then slowly ate his food and drank the diluted Ice Fire wine. Unbeknownst to him, he got a bit drunk.

  "Did you say that Qingmu Shixiong has discovered you? Or maybe he already knows but didn't say anything." Jiang Feng said, seemingly to himself.

  "I don't know." A voice came from beside her, belonging to a woman in blue clothes.

  Jiang Feng thought, it was equivalent to asking Bai. He didn't speak again and continued drinking and eating. The Ice Fire wine was indeed good wine, the more he drank, the more flavorful it became. Jiang Feng was cup after cup, his intoxication also becoming thicker.

  Just as Jiang Feng was almost completely drunk, the wine shop owner accompanied a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes to walk up to the second floor. The two of them came to Jiang Feng's table and paid their respects together.

  "Excuse me for disturbing your meal, sir. I have an urgent matter to discuss with you," said the middle-aged man who came with the wine house owner, his expression showing a sense of anxiety.

  Jiang Feng tilted his head, gazing at the two of them with a drunken glaze in his eyes. His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and it was likely that Jiang Feng would soon fall asleep.

  "What's up? Are you looking for me to catch monsters or something?" Jiang Feng said with a big tongue.

  "The immortal is indeed an immortal, one word and our intentions are broken. Please, immortal, you must take action. I'll bring the people of Autumn Water City to kowtow to you." The middle-aged man said as he knelt on the ground, repeatedly knocking his head against Jiang Feng's feet. Even the wine shop owner followed suit and knelt down together with him.

  Drunk Jiang Feng stumbled to his feet. He still remembered the old man's words about treasure underground, but there was something about a monster. Only then did he think of the intentions of the two people beside him.

  "I'll go take a look and see what kind of monster it is," said Jiang Feng, saying that he started swaying forward. He had only taken one step when he retreated again. Afterwards, he sat back down and fell asleep with his head on the table, snoring loudly.

  The two people who were still kneeling looked at each other in dismay. They called out several times, but Jiang Feng did not wake up and continued to snore loudly. In the end, they had no choice but to find a sedan chair and carry Jiang Feng to their destination.

  Jiang Feng was indeed drunk, but he didn't necessarily need to sleep. If he wanted to, he could use his spiritual power to help himself sober up. Even if he couldn't completely sober up, it wouldn't affect his actions or thinking. He just couldn't feel the danger around him, plus the intoxicating effect of the Ice Fire Wine made him very comfortable, so he fell asleep.

  At the same time, Jiang Feng was also not worried about any danger. There was still a woman hidden beside him. If there was any danger, the woman would be the first to wake him up fiercely.

  There are indeed some problems with the Autumn Water City. However, many people don't know about it. The owner of the wine house knows a bit, but not in detail. The person who came with the owner of the wine house is the richest man in this place and also the one who knows most clearly what happened.

  The owner of the wine shop suspected that Jiang Feng was a cultivator from the moment he saw the gold given by Jiang Feng. Later, when he saw fire and ice on Jiang Feng's body, he became even more certain. Knowing that the richest man in this place was looking for a cultivator here, he sent his assistant to inform him.

  The richest man in this place is called Zhou Yicheng. Just by the name, you can think that the entire Autumn Water City is his family's. This is not an exaggeration at all. Zhou Yicheng's wealth is such that buying one Autumn Water City is no problem, let alone ten or eight of them. Originally, he didn't live here either. Only because he was already fifty years old and his ancestral home was in Autumn Water City did he end up living here.

  The Zhou family had a garden with a pond. One morning, they suddenly found that the pond was dry and there was a fairly large hole in it. The inside of the hole was pitch black, and even if you threw a torch down, it would be extinguished quickly, so you couldn't see what was below.

  They lowered the person down with a rope, and after 30 or 40 meters of rope had been let out, there was no sound from the person. When they pulled him back up, only half of his charred remains were left. This frightened the Zhou family terribly. But this was nothing compared to what happened next. Within two days, dead bodies began to appear one after another in Qiushui City. The deceased all had only a charred skeleton left. This made the people of Qiushui City become panicked and fearful.

  Since someone died at the beginning, two people have been dying every day. The news has been blocked by local officials. The Zhou family is in a mess. Without thinking, it's clear that it must be related to the underground cave in the garden. Zhou Yicheng also has a conscience and didn't run away himself, but instead was busy finding a monk. If he hadn't met Jiang Feng, he wouldn't have let go of this opportunity.
