Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 514: Absorbing Dark Energy! _1

Brilliant golden lights shot towards the stone tablet!

“What are you doing?!” The man with the mustache suddenly became agitated.

He wanted to stop it but it was already too late.

The immense force made the stone tablet shake a bit! But it didn’t shatter!

“It’s so hard.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but exclaim.

The man with the mustache breathed a sigh of relief. Patting his chest, he said, “My friend, you mustn’t mess around like this. The treasure isn’t hidden here.”

Ethan Smith glanced at the man with the mustache and asked, “If not here, then where?”

“Of course it’s somewhere nearby! You can tell you have no experience!” the mustached man mumbled.

He drew a circle on the stone tablet and said, “Who would engrave the hiding place of the treasure on a tablet? This is like hiding silver in plain sight!”

“You’re right!”

After the mustached man’s reminder, Ethan Smith came to his senses.

That is to say, the real hidden treasure of the Dragon Vein was not the herbs beneath the stone tablet?!

If that were the case, there was still more to gain from the Dragon Vein!

“My friend, you really can’t uproot this thing.” The mustached man took out his tools while grumbling.

It must be said, the mustached man’s tools were quite complete; anything imaginable, he nearly had.

“Why are you so afraid of pulling out this stone tablet?” Ethan Smith asked, puzzled.

The mustached man glared and said, “I came to find treasure, not to lose my life! What if there’s some dirty stuff under there? That’d be asking for trouble!”

Ethan Smith thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

If the treasure hidden beneath the stone tablet wasn’t the real deal, there was no reason to take the risk.

But for Ethan Smith, dark energy was not a taboo, it was actually a holy object for his cultivation.

Therefore, Ethan Smith ignored the mustached man and gathered his strength before throwing another punch!

“Boom!”

Under this punch, the stone tablet finally started to loosen.

“Oh, my friend, why are you so stubborn?!” The mustached man dodged to the side while complaining.

Ethan Smith laughed, “Don’t worry, if there is any dirty stuff, I will protect you.”

The mustached man grumbled, “Protect me? I’m afraid there might be a nascent soul-stage monster underneath… ”

As he spoke, Ethan Smith punched again.

After three consecutive punches, the stone tablet could no longer withstand the pressure and fractured.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, the stone tablet shattered!

Another huge pit appeared before Ethan Smith’s eyes at this moment.

Compared to the huge pit of the Dragon Vein, this one seemed a lot shabbier.

There were no herbs, let alone cultivation skills.

At a glance, there was a pitch-black mirror inside, two bronze plaques, and a green hairpin.

Seeing this, the mustached man hurriedly ran over.

He stroked his mustache, his eyes sparkled as he examined these items non-stop.

Ethan Smith didn’t rush to pick items, but courteously said, “My friend, which one do you like?”

A cunning glint flashed in the mustached man’s eyes.

He coughed and said, “To be frank, I like that hairpin. I wonder if you’d let me have it?”

“Alright, the hairpin goes to you.” Ethan Smith waved his hand, and without a second thought, he collected the pitch-black mirror and bronze plaques.

The mustached man couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.

His eyes were fixed on the pitch-black bronze mirror.

“What’s wrong?” Ethan Smith laughed.

The mustached man mumbled, “You’re so generous. The hairpin is a treasure, don’t you want it?”

“No, no, no, how could I rob someone of what they love?” Ethan Smith chuckled.The man with the mustache couldn’t help but sigh up to the sky, “The greatest trick is sincerity…”

Seeing his heartbroken appearance, Ethan Smith laughed and said, “My friend, could that pitch-black bronze mirror be a treasure?”

Mentioning the bronze mirror, the man with the mustache’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Then, he glared and said, “From now on, do not mention the words ‘bronze mirror’!”

Ethan Smith secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seemed like he had guessed correctly.

This bronze mirror was the real treasure.

“This little thing is nothing. When The Master makes a move, you’ll know what a real treasure is.” The man with the mustache licked his lips and said.

He took out his own tools and started fiddling on the ground.

It had to be said, this man with the mustache was indeed professional.

He circled around the area several times, holding a shovel in his hand and muttering words to himself.

Ethan Smith, on the other hand, stood aside and quietly waited.

Though the man with the mustache seemed crazy, he was actually full of skills, and Ethan Smith believed in his abilities.

Just at that moment,

there was suddenly a movement in the huge pit.

In no time, cold dark energy began to emanate from within the pit!

For an instant, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped!

An endless dark energy instantly filled the entire canyon!

“What a strong dark energy!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but take a deep breath when he saw this.

Not far away, the man with the mustache took out a peach wood sword and said nervously, “Demons and ghosts, The Master isn’t afraid of you!”

Ethan Smith didn’t pay attention to him; there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He didn’t expect that near the Dragon Vein, there would be such a yin pit hidden!

Such rich dark energy was an incomparably great tonic for Ethan Smith!

“If Lord Pavilion Master can forcibly suppress his realm, so can I.” Ethan Smith thought in his heart.

Thus, he didn’t waste any time and immediately sat down cross-legged.

“My friend, I’ll leave the treasure hunting business to you; I’ll wait for you.” Ethan Smith said with a smile.

The man with the mustache grumbled, “I’m doing all the work. You’d better give me more treasure later.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Ethan Smith laughed.

Afterward, Ethan Smith didn’t waste any more time.

With his eyes slightly closed, all the pores on his body opened, and he began to absorb the surrounding dark energy.

“Chaotic body?”

Watching this scene, the always playful man with the mustache suddenly furrowed his brows.

He stared at Ethan Smith for a moment, but ultimately didn’t say anything.

Just as dark energy erupted from the pit, the pit above the Dragon Vein also began to show changes.

The qi, which counterbalanced the dark energy, broke the balance at this moment!

An endless amount of qi burst forth from this pit!

“What a rich qi!” Soren Taylor exclaimed excitedly.

All the members of the Capital City Martial Arts Association noticed the qi in the pit at this moment!

“This trip was worthwhile; it is indeed a Dragon Vein!”

Though they didn’t know what had happened, this was an excellent opportunity to cultivate!

For a time, Soren Taylor and the others sat down cross-legged one after another to cultivate in seclusion!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed.

What was unexpected was that the speed at which more than ten members of the Capital City Martial Arts Association absorbed qi together was actually slower than Ethan Smith’s single absorption of dark energy!

In just three days, the dark energy in the canyon had been completely absorbed by Ethan Smith!

However, above the Dragon Vein, there was still an abundance of qi!
