Chapter 23: Shopping for treasures to prepare for a trace of the past

At around one o'clock in the morning, Xia Lan woke up leisurely, looked at the dazzling world, and raised her palms.

A strange brilliance lit up at his fingertips and turned into a ball of flame.

"Ah~ this feeling~" He groaned softly, feeling that this sound made him a little horny.

But compared to this, his attention is more focused on this world.

At that moment, he deprived ten cubic meters of energy from the escaped source stone around him and turned it into a seemingly ordinary fire spell.

But what was different from the past was that in the past, he could still feel the subtle energy that had not been stripped away from the air, but now his perception was clean and without any free energy.

And the flame is also very different from the past. The temperature range of the flame should have been between 400-700 degrees Celsius, but now it is more than 1,200 degrees. His talent has increased it to the level of a top-level talent.

Now he can be Frost Star, Eyjafala, or many other people who have extremely high attainments in spells of their respective attributes.

He is not an infected person, but his control over magic far exceeds that of an infected person who uses life as fuel.

After thinking about it and adapting for a moment, Xia Lan smiled and said to herself: "Now it's the flesh and blood's turn to suffer."

Compared to being close to the so-called human limit in terms of magic, his body is still quite weak, almost the lowest point of human beings. If his health were not quite high, he would not know how to survive.

Although he is not good at fighting, he is easy to feed - this is his evaluation.

Xia Lan recalled the time when her waist was almost broken by Yue Lan, and she became sad.

If it was his wife... he might have his internal organs ruptured on the spot and bleed to death from all his orifices, right?

Not to mention the more drastic things that could be done…

"The word sex means a knife on the head...and it's in the real sense." Xia Lan showed pain, but decided not to think about such a distant matter.

The top priority is to find a few more skills that can resist mental attacks. Once you have them, you can immediately set off to find your wife.

"By the way, Yuelan, as the eldest lady...maybe she knows some Yanguo magic." His eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the contact page.

"I'm home." - Yuelan, yesterday at 23:29.

Xia Lan's eyes paused at the current time, but chose not to send a message. After washing up, he lay down on the bed, looking forward to the reply that the other party might give him tomorrow.

…

"Can't sleep." An hour later, he opened his eyes, picked up the tablet and started learning spells.

"It feels so unexperienced..."

Versailles~~~

Since there were no spells that he had to learn, he simply started to learn some spells that were not very commonly used but were very useful in certain situations.

For example, anti-gravity, wind blade, shadow clone, warning net, deflection field, shock wave, finger simulation... and a lot of messy things.

And he is not afraid of memorizing it, because as long as he remembers it, he can use it at will, and he can use the corresponding spell to do whatever he wants...but only if he has learned it.

He didn't know what normal people were like. Anyway, he already considered himself a cheater, so he simply let it continue.

…

"Packed my bags on my back~" Xia Lan sang a ditty from her past life, got up and washed up, preparing to go out for breakfast and then come back to ask Yue Lan.

However, just as he opened the door, the neighbor's door across the street also opened. Chen walked out and said, "Hey, good morning, Xia Lan."

"?" He was stunned, looked at her door, and then at her smiling face, his mind was broken.

The clues from the past connected together in an instant.

Seeing him looking shocked and unable to extricate himself, Chen waved his hands in front of his eyes and said with a smile: "What, are you surprised?"

"Ah..." Xia Lan came back to her senses, nodded with difficulty and said: "That's true... I didn't expect you to be my neighbor who never sees the dragon before it ends."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" His face was full of resentment.

Chen shrugged and said, "Didn't you ask me that?"

As the two of them talked, they came downstairs. Xia Lan also took this opportunity to ask about the previous explosives case and what happened next.

Chen sighed, shook his head and said: "The other party must have been aware of our actions. Although they did not detonate the explosives in advance when we eliminated them, this clue was interrupted."

"Is that so..." Xia Lan frowned after hearing this. No one would want to have a time bomb hidden around them.

So he thought carefully and said: "If necessary, come to me again. Although I will leave Longmen soon, I am basically free during this period of time."

"Well... I have recently developed new skills in my natural spells. I can now distinguish the feelings between people. I can basically tell the difference between magicians and non-magicians."

Chen listened, nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, we will invite you if necessary."

The two chatted about something casually, and then separated.

…

When Xia Lan returned home, she took out her cell phone and responded to Yue Lan: "So, where is your home that looks so mysterious?"

On the other side, in the gorgeous palace.

Yue Lan was enjoying the rich and exquisite breakfast absentmindedly when she suddenly heard the ringtone of her mobile phone. She took it out without any regard for etiquette and looked at the message from Xia Lan with a smile.

The slightly cold air seemed to have become much warmer because of her bright smile.

Yue Lan took a mouthful of rice and responded: "It's near the Yan Kingdom's imperial capital."

She still wanted to maintain her mysterious identity for a while longer, so that she could surprise her proud benefactor even more. When she thought of that, she couldn't help but curl up her lips, and she couldn't stop being happy.

Xia Lan was surprised when he saw her reply, and had some doubts about his previous speculation.

However, her mysterious appearance made him feel scratched in his heart, but since she didn't tell him...he could only maintain his arrogant image and couldn't help but continue to ask questions.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Lan considered and asked: "Does your family have that kind of mysterious knowledge? I want to know some knowledge that is usually hard to find."

"It will definitely not break the law!" He assured with a certain amount of money. He didn't realize anything was wrong until the news was sent out.

Yue Lan, who had almost finished her meal on the other side, looked at his question and asked curiously: "What are you asking about?"

Although she knows that it is not good to spread some knowledge randomly, but if it is her benefactor... she is still willing to do these not-so-good things for him.

"I am preparing for an adventure. If I can prepare more, I will have more opportunities." Xia Lan responded.

"It would be best if we can find that person safely, but otherwise it will definitely be a life-or-death crisis."

Yuelan looked at his explanation, and her pace that was pacing happily stopped instantly, with a worried look on her face.

"Danger...death...danger...death...danger...death..." She muttered to herself several times nervously, subconsciously recalling everything she had ever encountered, and suddenly she lost control of her emotions.

She could have endured the darkness as if she had never seen the light.

But now that we are in the light, and if we try to look back at the boundless death, the fear will increase countless times.

And if you realize that you may lose that light in the future, the panic is enough to destroy a person's spirit.

…

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Xia Lan felt a little nervous, but she didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she had to wait uneasily.

After a while, he finally received a reply from Yuelan: "I can try to help you, but the prerequisite is that before you find that person, you must have a call with me at least once a month, and you must want to talk to me in the future.

If you want to talk to me, try to make voice calls."

Looking at her reply, Xia Lan felt warm in her heart. She agreed to her request without hesitation and asked, "Do you want to switch to voice chat now?"

"No, no, no, I have something else to do right now. I'll see you later." Yue Lan immediately refused, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

He didn't know what happened, so he could only respond: "Well, if you are in trouble, don't force yourself. Put your own safety first."

Yuelan, who was sitting alone on the bed, looked at Xia Lan's reply, wiped her tears vigorously, and cursed with hatred: "Yuelan, Yuelan...how could you...how could you make your benefactor worry?

Woolen cloth?"

But her heart was still full of fear, and the possibility of despair made it difficult for her to escape, and tears still poured out of the corners of her eyes.

…

Now that he knew whether she would reply to him soon, Xia Lan also started to think about what she wanted to do today - Taobao.

He learned almost half a month ago that there would be a gathering for selling high-end items in Longmen today, which should be similar to an auction. At that meeting, there would be a life-saving device he wanted to buy - a self-discipline stimulating shield.

That thing can automatically alert all objects that break into the set range. As long as its speed reaches a certain level, it can automatically intercept it. It is the best choice to save your life.

According to the introduction on the Internet, the only drawback is that the actions you perform will also be affected by it. Generally, it requires a magician with a certain amount of knowledge to avoid its interference. As for Xia Lan, he is not afraid of it.

He can cast spells directly outside the warning range of the shield without fear of being intercepted by it.

As for hand-to-hand combat...hehe.

…

At noon, Xia Lan was sitting in an ordinary place in the auction house, eating a high-end lunch that cost 2,000 yuan a piece during the intermission, feeling both sad and happy.

The thing he wants to buy is sold after three items, three hundred pieces at a time, and will be snapped up on the terminal that comes with their seats.

According to the predictions of insiders...the transaction price of one piece was around one million, which made Xia Lan unable to bear it.
To be continued...
