Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"What's wrong? It's only been a few days, have you already forgotten who I am?"

Seeing the astonished look on Shi Changgeng's face, Chen Tian touched his nose and shook his head with a smile.

Hearing this, Shi Changgeng finally snapped out of his shock and quickly said with a smile, "Hehe, Brother Yang, don't take it personally. I'm just really curious, how did you end up in this desolate wilderness?"

Shi Changgeng smiled, then wanted to walk over and greet Chen Tian, but suddenly, as if realizing something, he immediately took a step back, spread his arms to protect the wild ginseng, and said with a wary expression, "Brother Yang, although I'm happy to see an old friend in this deep mountain forest, let's get one thing straight: I discovered this wild ginseng first, so don't even think about taking it!"

It turned out that Shi Changgeng thought Chen Tian was here to snatch the wild ginseng from him, which is why he was so defensive.

When Chen Tian saw him like this, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Brother Shi, you guessed right. I'm here for this wild ginseng."

"Transaction?"

Hearing Chen Tian suddenly say this, Shi Changgeng was first stunned, and then asked with a suspicious look, "Alright, then tell me, what kind of transaction is it?"

Shi Changgeng's tone softened a little.

Chen Tian smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "I'm currently facing a big trouble and I need these wild ginseng that are several hundred years old. So, if Brother Shi is willing to part with them, then I can trade you a low-grade spiritual treasure."

"What? A low-grade spiritual treasure?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Shi Changgeng's eyes widened instantly. After swallowing hard in disbelief, he anxiously asked, "Brother Yang, are you really willing to trade a low-grade spiritual treasure?"

"Of course. Would I lie to you?" Chen Tian smiled casually, then waved his right hand, and a three-inch-sized copper bell appeared in his hand, saying, "Look, this is the low-grade spiritual treasure. I wonder what Brother Shi thinks?"

This copper bell was the Purple Gold Water Fire Bell that Chen Tian had found on Qiu Binghe after killing him.

After seeing the copper bell that Chen Tian took out, Shi Changgeng, who was originally a little suspicious, was immediately overjoyed. He immediately took it and examined it in his hand.

But after looking at it for a while, Shi Changgeng frowned slightly and said, "This bell is indeed a good item, and it should be able to unleash the properties of both water and fire. But unfortunately, the water and fire originally contained within have been mostly consumed, which greatly reduces its value."

Hearing his description, Chen Tian was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that this Shi Changgeng would be so knowledgeable about magical treasures, and he could guess the properties of this Purple Gold Water Fire Bell almost perfectly just by looking at it once.

Obviously, this Shi Changgeng should be very knowledgeable about refining.

Since he couldn't hide it from him, Chen Tian honestly replied, "That's right. This bell originally contained some Samadhi True Fire and Six Harmonies Separating Water, but for some reason, they have all disappeared. But even so, it is still a superior magical treasure! Brother Shi, just give me a straight answer. Are you going to trade it or not?"

"Hehe, trade, of course I'll trade! Brother Yang, these ginseng are now all yours!"

Although Shi Changgeng mentioned many shortcomings of the bell, seeming quite disdainful, he hurriedly nodded and smiled as soon as he heard Chen Tian's words. Then, he clutched the Purple Gold Water Fire Bell in his arms as if it were a treasure, as if he was afraid that Chen Tian would go back on his word.

Chen Tian smiled after seeing this, but didn't say anything. Instead, he waved his hand and put all the wild ginseng in the depression, regardless of size, into his storage ring.

Originally, Chen Tian was about to continue running away after completing this transaction, but he seemed to suddenly remember something. After a little thought, he took out a rusty long knife.

It was the strange long knife he had obtained from the Zha Da tribe.

Chen Tian handed the long knife to Shi Changgeng and asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother Shi, since you seem to be quite familiar with artifacts, can you help me see what the origin of this long knife is and if it has any unique features?"

At this time, Shi Changgeng was holding the copper bell, constantly pondering it as if it were a treasure. Only after hearing Chen Tian's words did he casually turn his head.

But after just one glance at the long knife in Chen Tian's hand, his originally indifferent face was once again shocked. He hurriedly moved closer to the long knife and reached out to touch it.

However, seeing this, Chen Tian moved the long knife back slightly and said with a smile, "Brother Shi, I'm sorry, you can only look at this treasure, not touch it."

Shi Changgeng was an old fox and knew Chen Tian's concerns, so he didn't say anything. He bent down and quietly sized it up.

"Strange, strange, very strange!" After looking at it for a long time, Shi Changgeng finally spoke and said three "strange" in a row.

Chen Tian frowned after hearing this and asked, "Brother Shi, what's so strange about it?"

"First of all, the material of this long knife is not a simple metal. I have also studied the art of refining, but I have never seen such a special material! Second, this long knife does not contain any spirituality or power, and I can't see its grade at all. It's just like a common woodcutter's knife! But I can be sure that if it truly removes its rust and reveals its sharpness, it will definitely be a shocking magical treasure! But for now, I really can't see too much of its secrets."

Shi Changgeng's eyes suddenly showed contemplation, and then suspicion, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly. Obviously, he couldn't determine the properties of this long knife either.

Chen Tian originally hoped to obtain some information from Shi Changgeng, but now it seemed that this hope had been dashed.

It seemed that the secret of the long knife would have to be explored later.

After sighing helplessly, Chen Tian's hand flashed with purple light, and he put away the long knife again.

At this time, Shi Changgeng frowned and asked Chen Tian, "By the way, Brother Yang, how did you suddenly come to this deep mountain forest?"
