Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

By this time, the sky was already dark, and everyone had gone to rest, so Chen Tian picked up the wooden box, left the blacksmith shop, and walked towards the house next door.

Since the mysterious old man disappeared, Chen Tian had been using the identity of being his distant relative to live in this house.

The people of Cai Lan Village did not have any doubts and naturally accepted this identity.

This is also a reflection of the simple and honest folk customs of Cai Lan Village.

Entering the house and closing the door, Chen Tian gently placed the wooden box on the table.

Chen Tian was not in a hurry to open the box, but carefully observed it.

He saw that the wooden box was covered with dust, as if no one had taken care of it for many years.

The wooden box had no complicated patterns or decorations, and it was not painted, revealing the original color of the wood, with circles of wood grain clearly visible.

After gently wiping away the dust covering the wooden box, Chen Tian held the two ends of the box and applied a little force. With a 'snap' sound, the wooden box that had been sealed for many years was opened.

However, when Chen Tian saw clearly what was inside the wooden box, he was immediately stunned.

Inside the wooden box, there was actually a smaller brocade box.

However, the decoration of this brocade box was much more gorgeous, covered with bright red paint all over, and depicting elegant cloud and dragon patterns. More surprisingly, the brocade box was also covered with yellow talismans, as if sealing something inside. At the same time, a small jade slip was placed next to the brocade box.

Chen Tian carefully looked at the strange brocade box for a few moments, and then turned his gaze to the jade slip next to it.

Chen Tian reached out and picked up the jade slip, attaching it to his forehead to decipher it.

After a while, Chen Tian scanned all the words in the jade slip, but at this time, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Chen Tian guessed correctly that this box was indeed left to him by the mysterious old man.

According to the records in the jade slip, the things inside this box are of great help to Chen Tian in comprehending the Dao of Heaven and impacting the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm).

However, there is no free lunch in the world. In the records of this jade slip, a condition is also attached. If Chen Tian wants to use the brocade box, then he must agree to a condition of the mysterious old man, to help him do something.

Of course, the jade slip did not record what the mysterious old man wanted Chen Tian to do, perhaps waiting for Chen Tian's choice.

After all, if Chen Tian chooses not to use the brocade box, then he does not need to fulfill this promise.

Seeing this, Chen Tian slowly moved the jade slip away from his forehead, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Originally, Chen Tian was still wondering what the mysterious old man was up to, but after seeing this jade slip, Chen Tian suddenly understood.

It turned out that he wanted to earn a promise from Chen Tian.

Chen Tian can be sure that the mysterious old man's cultivation is unfathomable, far surpassing any cultivator he has ever seen, and may have even reached the筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm).

And what would such a powerful old monster want Chen Tian to do?

Although the jade slip did not specify what the mysterious old man wanted Chen Tian to do, Chen Tian could guess that this matter was definitely extraordinary.

Otherwise, he would not have gone to so much trouble to lure Chen Tian here and give him so many benefits.

So Chen Tian vaguely felt that all of this might be a conspiracy!

Thinking of this, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth. To be honest, Chen Tian was not worried at all at this time, but gradually became more at ease.

After all, Chen Tian had always been unclear about the mysterious old man's true intentions before. That feeling of confusion made Chen Tian feel like he was in the clouds, worried and uneasy.

But now that he finally understood the mysterious old man's thoughts, Chen Tian instantly understood the direction, and the mist blocking him was swept away.

What people fear is not difficulty, but the lack of direction.

Once the direction is clear, then any difficulties and obstacles will naturally have a way to deal with them.

For Chen Tian, the mysterious old man's sudden disappearance made him lose his direction. And at this time, after reading the things recorded in this jade slip, it made him find his direction again.

Now that he has a direction, the next step is to start formulating countermeasures.

According to what is said in the jade slip, the things inside this brocade box can help Chen Tian impact the Ning Hai Realm, and it must be a very powerful thing.

But if Chen Tian intends to use it, then it is equivalent to automatically accepting the conditions of the mysterious old man, to help him complete something.

As for what the mysterious old man wants Chen Tian to complete, the jade slip does not explain in detail.

Of course, Chen Tian can also choose not to accept this condition, but relatively speaking, he cannot use this brocade box.

After sorting out the predicament he was facing, Chen Tian couldn't help but start to ponder.

The difficulty facing Chen Tian now is that he does not know what is in this brocade box? And how much is it worth?

You must know that if Chen Tian opens this brocade box, it is equivalent to accepting the conditions of the mysterious old man, to help him complete something.

And if the difficulty of this matter far exceeds the value of the things in the brocade box, then wouldn't Chen Tian be depressed to death?

After thinking for a while, Chen Tian shook his head and put the lid of the wooden box down with a 'snap'.

Chen Tian decided not to rush to make this choice, but to wait and see.

After all, the mysterious old man did not give Chen Tian a deadline, and he had time to think slowly.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian put the box into the storage ring, then walked out of the house, and under the moonlight, continued to strike iron.

… … … … … … … …

Time flies, Chen Tian has been in this unknown Cai Lan Village for nearly half a year.

And after his constant exploration and improvement, he was finally able to make decent tools. At the same time, the people of Cai Lan Village gradually accepted Chen Tian, ​​frequenting his blacksmith shop to buy iron tools for living and farming. Seeing all this, Erwa and his father were happy for Chen Tian.

On this day, Chen Tian stood by the stove again, took out a red-hot iron block from it, put it on the stone platform, and swung the hammer, 'ding ding dang dang' to start hammering.

However, this time Chen Tian did not forge knives for living, nor did he forge hoes and axes for farming, but was building a long sword with a very peculiar appearance.
