I Can Track Everything

Chapter 34 - Expired Elixirs, Just Make Do With Them

Seeing the twenty prompts pop up in his head, Chen Chen felt instantly reassured, and his stern, somber expression began to loosen up as well.

”Brother, I feel that there are some great things around here, do you dare to go venture with me?”

Chen Chen looked at Zhang Ji with a smile. He was only afraid that they would find nothing after the search, which would be really awkward. Fortunately, things like that didnʼt happen.

”Of course I do!” Zhang Ji agreed decisively, looking determined.

He would not bear a grudge if he were to venture through the raging fire and surf the high tides for Chen Chen, let alone going on a treasure hunt with him.

”Alright! Follow me then!”

After he spoke, Chen Chen set off on his horse in a certain direction, while Zhang Ji followed closely behind.

After notifying the rest of the squad, the two of them vanished into a forest.

Moments later.

Chen Chen came upon a bush, and without saying a word, he began digging earthward with the iron shovel that he prepared in advance. After digging a meter deep, he finally saw the so-called ʼfragment of a treasure.ʼ

”Brother Chen, is this the treasure that you were talking about?” Zhang Ji asked in amazement as he looked at the rusty tip of a sword that Chen Chen held in his hand.

”Yes, I have sensed the ethereality of this thing from afar. This is something extraordinary!”

Chen Chen wore a solemn expression, but deep within, he was lacking confidence. The thing in his hand was no different from iron waste, and it gave no response after he tried to instill it with ethereality.

Was this thing really capable of resisting demons and evil?

Despite his doubts, he had to pretend as if he had found a valuable treasure to astonish Zhang Ji, who was watching at the side.

”Letʼs go, weʼll move on to the next destination.”

After storing away the fragment, Chen Chen hurried to the next target with Zhang Ji. This time, they traveled for half an hour before arriving at the location.

Right when Chen Chen was about to start digging blindly, Zhang Ji grabbed the shovel from his hand.

”Brother Chen, leave rough labor like this to me!”

Upon hearing Zhang Jiʼs words, Chen Chen did not refuse. In a serious manner, he then replied, ”Brother, we have to dig six meters deep this time!”

When he heard ”six meters”, the look on Zhang Jiʼs face turned awkward. He then handed the shovel back to Chen Chen.

He was only an ordinary man, it could take him an entire day to dig six meters down.

”Brother Chen, Iʼm kinda useless, right?”

As he watched Chen Chen digging the earth up like a marmot, Zhang Ji asked in a self-condemnation.

Very soon, Chen Chenʼs voice came through from under the ground.

”Zhang Ji, youʼll surely be able to help me once you embark on the path of cultivation! Besides, I wonʼt be calling you brother anymore, itʼs too alienating. You should also stop calling me Brother Chen, just call me Chen Chen instead.”

”Chen Chen...” Zhang Ji mumbled under his breath, but shook his head immediately.

How could he address his big brother directly by his name! It would be a sign of disrespect!

After brooding for a moment, Zhang Ji shouted towards Chen Chenʼs hole, ”Brother Chen, if you find it alienating, how about I call you big brother from now?”

”As you please!”

As Chen Chen finished his sentence, he climbed up from the pit. By this time, he had become completely covered in soil, no longer looking as chivalrous as he previously did. However, there was a one-meter-long piece of wood in his hand, which was giving off a dim glow.

”Brother Chen… big brother, what kind of treasure is that?” Zhang Ji asked curiously.

Compared to the last rusty piece of iron that he dug up, this piece of wood obviously seemed more like a treasure as it glowed, unlike ordinary wood.

Chen Chen instantly became thrilled as he looked at the Dragon-taming Wood in his hand. This particular piece of wood was a real treasure of cultivation. Apart from the fruit he had swallowed at the Black Wind Cliff, this piece of Dragon-taming Wood was probably the most valuable item that he had come across thus far.

”This is called Dragon-taming Wood, it is a world treasure that was nurtured by the dragon veinsʼ essence under the ground. If any powerful immortals come across this, they would want to seize it for their own use.”
