“Finally eighteen years old…”
“My junkyard should be opening up!”
It was already past midnight, and Chen Fan couldn't sleep at all.
Because, his eighteenth birthday was about to arrive.
In this era, eighteen meant adulthood.
The coming-of-age ceremony was quite special.
At that time, his own junkyard would be officially opened.
Yes, in this world, this era, everyone was a junkyard owner.
But, this so-called garbage was only relative to the higher realms.
For the people of this world, there were too many treasures hidden within the garbage.
The leftovers from the immortal realm, leftover dragon liver and phoenix gall, failed high-level elixirs, and elixir residue were all heavenly treasures for mortals…
Even the remains of beasts, immortal bone corpses, etc., were all treasures for each junkyard owner.
Sometimes, a random broken sword could cut iron like mud, and a random tattered old book could contain cultivation techniques.
A hundred years ago, with a loud boom, everyone in this world discovered that a junkyard space had appeared beside them.
From then on, this world entered the era of treasure hunting.
In a hundred years, the old order had been replaced by the new order.
This world has seen the emergence of many long-livers, many powerful individuals who could fly through the air, hide in the earth, and move mountains and seas.
Before the age of eighteen, everyone basically attended various academies.
Of course, they no longer learned math, physics, and chemistry, but instead learned various scripts, various characters, and various treasure appraisal knowledge.
Over a hundred years, humans had deciphered many scripts and characters.
It could also be deduced that all the garbage was from different worlds.
Naturally, many cultivation systems were also born.
However, almost everyone chose the most powerful system.
Mortal Realm, one hundred and eight layers; Transcendent Realm, seventy-two layers; Divine Realm, thirty-six realms; Immortal Realm, nine stages.
Corresponding to one hundred and eight celestial cycles, seventy-two Earthly Fiends, thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, and nine as the extreme number.
The Mortal Realm required opening one hundred and eight acupoints, the Transcendent Realm required refining seventy-two dragon veins, the Divine Realm required opening thirty-six celestial cavities, and the Immortal Realm required building nine Heavenly Platforms.
Of course, this was the most perfect and powerful heavenly system, but not everyone could achieve such perfection.
This cultivation technique was engraved within every junkyard.
Everyone would obtain this cultivation technique after awakening their junkyard.
So, it was no longer a secret.
Chen Fan, who had just turned eighteen, had already opened eighteen acupoints, or the eighteenth layer of the Mortal Realm.
He was considered a cultivation prodigy.
Of course, compared to those monsters who were born with acupoint openings, Chen Fan was no match.
As humans grew stronger, the talent of newborns became more and more abnormal.
“Boom!!”
Chen Fan, who was patiently waiting, suddenly heard a violent sound in the depths of his mind.
At the same time, a golden light flickered between his brows, turning into a mark that looked like a crack.
Soon, the tremor disappeared, and the mark between his brows gradually faded.
“It’s finally opened!!”
Chen Fan smiled slightly. Through his brow, he sensed a connection.
He knew that this was the medium that led to his own junkyard.
“Let me see if there are any good treasures in my junkyard…”
Chen Fan was full of anticipation, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, established the connection, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the room.
When he reappeared, Chen Fan found himself in an unfamiliar place.
An area about ten miles in radius was desolate, slightly dark, and slightly damp.
The stench of a junkyard that he had imagined did not appear, but instead had a strange fragrance.
There was also no pile of garbage.
Here, it felt like his own domain. He could clearly sense the area within ten miles.
The most basic cultivation techniques flickered in the air, being passed down.
“Huh…”
“A corpse?”
Opening his eyes, in the empty space, Chen Fan saw a corpse.
It seemed to be a woman.
Chen Fan quickly ran over.
In an instant, he was stunned, his eyes filled with fascination.
The woman was lying down, wearing a luxurious purple robe, incredibly noble, unable to conceal her perfect curves.
Her three thousand strands of black hair were casually scattered on the ground. If she stood up, they would probably reach her slender willow waist.
Even more exaggerated was that the woman had a purple snake tail exposed beneath her robe.
“Snake demon?”
“Medusa?”
Chen Fan was stunned. Looking at the woman’s face, her beauty was almost incredibly flamboyant.
On her head, she was wearing a metal crown, and above the crown, there seemed to be nine snakes…
“Medusa Empress?”
Chen Fan murmured, slowly regaining his senses.
“What a pity…”
Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh. He felt a kind of fascination towards the corpse.
“I hope you have some treasures on you…”
For his first time treasure hunting, he had found a corpse, which made Chen Fan feel a bit unlucky.
So, he crouched down and began to search, hoping to find treasures on her.
This woman was obviously incredibly noble.
She should have quite a few treasures.
“Warm?”
“Not dead?”
When his hand touched the woman, Chen Fan exclaimed.
Then, he placed his hand on Medusa's heart to confirm.
“There’s a heartbeat!”
“Although weak, she’s really not dead!!”
“Damn! Finding a living person in the junkyard, I must be the first in history!!”
Feeling Medusa’s heartbeat, Chen Fan was overjoyed.
