Xu Nian rode on a mighty warhorse, holding a stone the size of an eyeball in his palm.
At this mont, the stone was floating in his palm, spinning at an extrely fast speed.
To the point where no one could see what the stone really looked like.
In fact, these people didn’t know that the stone was originally as large as a human head.
It had been completely compressed by Xu Nian, which is why it was so small.
Indeed, this was the fourth level of Gravity Space Profound Arguntation that Xu Nian had comprehended.
Concentrating all gravity onto one point, forming an extrely terrifying impact.
Xu Nian called this move the Heavenly Heavy Finger!
This move may be called a finger skill, but in fact, swordsmanship, spear technique, and even knife technique were all fully applicable.
Now, relying on the Void Break and Heavenly Heavy Finger, Xu Nian could stand undefeated even against Zhong Mo.
Of course, to defeat Zhong Mo, he needed to further enhance his strength.
While Xu Nian continued to play with the stone in his hand, honing the power of his Heavenly Heavy Finger.
The other side of him was watching Li Qingxian ahead.
The reason he joined this Star River rcenary Corps caravan halfway was actually for the Star River Fragnt.
According to the Dao Tian Rat, the Starry Sky Fragnt was divided into four parts.
Now he had already obtained three parts of the Starry Sky Fragnt, with only the last part remaining.
The fragnt was crucial for finding the location of the second part of his "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" cultivation technique.
So, it was of utmost importance to him.
Just now, when he flew over the caravan, he suddenly had a very strong feeling.
He could sense that the Starry Sky Fragnt was on soone in the caravan.
But who it might be?
Xu Nian wasn’t sure either.
He scanned the entire caravan with his spiritual sense but found nothing.
However, he was certain that feeling was not wrong.
Because the sense ca from the fragnt in his hand, so the fourth piece must be in this caravan.
And Xu Nian suspected that the Star River Fragnt was likely with Li Qingxian.
Because the na of the rcenary corps was Star River.
Of course, Xu Nian could kill them all and search everyone, but he couldn’t do it. After all, he wasn’t a heartless demon.
He could only slowly explore and see who was carrying the broken star map.
"Brother Ergen, your leader seems quite formidable." Xu Nian tried to get friendly with Liu Ergen.
Hoping to extract so information from Liu Ergen.
"Of course, our leader is a Saint Level expert, and a Nine-star level Saint, a long spear that dominates all directions," Liu Ergen said proudly.
"Nine-star Saint, so impressive? Brother Liu, do you know why your rcenary corps is called the Star River rcenary Corps?" Xu Nian asked again.
"Why is it called Star River rcenary Corps? I never really thought about it; the na was given by our leader," Liu Ergen said cluelessly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian looked at Li Qingxian once more.
Now he was eighty or ninety percent sure that the Star River Fragnt was in Li Qingxian’s hands.
Because among those present, only three people owned a storage ring.
Li Qingxian had one, the wealthy rchant had another, and the last one surprised Xu Nian.
It was a coachman, a man in middle age.
As for the coachman’s cultivation, it wasn’t low either, possessing a three-star Battle Emperor level.
However, it seed no one recognized his identity.
Xu Nian saw through all this but was too lazy to expose it.
After all, whatever the coachman’s motives, it had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, it seed the coachman wasn’t targeting this caravan; otherwise, with his Battle Emperor level cultivation, slaughtering the entire caravan and rcenary corps would be easy.
"No matter, start with Li Qingxian, then the rchant, and finally probe the coachman," Xu Nian decided, planning to talk to Li Qingxian first.
If the Starry Sky Fragnt was really in Li Qingxian’s hands, and if Li Qingxian was willing to hand it over voluntarily, that would be best.
"This young brother, you probably have other motives for entering our rcenary corps," Li Qingxian approached Xu Nian proactively just as he was thinking of talking to him.
"Yes, I’m looking for a fragnt of a star map. I wonder if the leader has seen it," Xu Nian stated directly.
"A fragnted star map? I haven’t seen it, so I think I might not have what you’re looking for," Li Qingxian thought for a mont and said.
Xu Nian constantly observed Li Qingxian’s expression with his spiritual sense.
As long as Li Qingxian lied, Xu Nian would notice.
And according to his investigation just now, Li Qingxian didn’t seem to be lying.
Of course, it could also be that Li Qingxian’s acting was too strong, and Xu Nian didn’t see through it.
"Since the leader hasn’t seen it, my apologies for intruding. However, I do wish to head to the Imperial Capital, and I hope the leader doesn’t mind joining," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"I don’t mind, but I hope the young brother understands that I also have responsibilities. Since I’ve agreed with my employer, I will guard the employer’s belongings, and I’ll investigate any potential dangers," Li Qingxian stated.
"That’s only right; please, leader, go ahead," Xu Nian responded with a smile.
Li Qingxian smiled and then walked away again.
Xu Nian watched Li Qingxian leave without showing a trace of disappointnt.
On the contrary, he didn’t expect this conversation to yield unexpected gains.
Initially, Xu Nian’s spiritual sense was not only observing Li Qingxian but also examining the coachman.
When Xu Nian ntioned the Star River Fragnt, the coachman’s eye twitched slightly.
Although it was subtle, Xu Nian’s spiritual sense was extrely powerful, capable of detecting all details, so he saw the coachman’s expression clearly and plainly.
Thus, the coachman beca the pri suspect.
"It’s getting late; let’s settle down and rest. We’ll head to the Imperial Capital tomorrow," Li Qingxian announced.
Upon hearing this, the rcenary corps mbers clambered down and skillfully began pitching tents.
So started fires to roast food.
Xu Nian found a spot and sat down but didn’t rush to look for the coachman.
Because he discovered sothing interesting.
Initially, he simply thought the wealthy rchant was transporting ordinary Ice Jade Stone.
However, during an unconscious probe, he discovered there was more to these Ice Jade Stones.
Among the ten carts of Ice Jade Stone, six carts contained Ice Jade Marrow.
Though Ice Jade Marrow differs from Ice Jade Stone by just one character, their value differs significantly.
Ice Jade Marrow is an essence ford over millennia from Ice Jade Stone, often found in only a small bottle if ever discovered.
But here, the Ice Jade Marrow amounted to as much as a hundred bottles.
Ice Jade Marrow is extrely useful even to Earth Immortal Realm experts, especially during the Early Stage and Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, which demand a lot of True Essence.
Usually, four bottles of Ice Jade Marrow can completely transform Immortal Essence for an Early Stage Earth Immortal expert.
And Xu Nian reckoned that these hundred bottles of Ice Jade Marrow would be just enough to achieve a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Who would’ve thought there are such treasures on the Tianhen Continent? Truly an unexpected gain," Xu Nian mused with a playful glint in his eyes.
