After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain Chapter 4 Who Took The Treasure?

Ye Chen arrived at Longbo Mountain, making his way directly to the cliff ruins. This journey was undertaken following instructions from his master, which included a map to a dragon vein treasure. However, upon reaching his destination, he found only desolate ruins. The dragon veins had already been claimed by someone else!

"Where is the treasure? I've been searching for a week!" Ye Chen exclaimed in frustration. He scanned his surroundings, sensing no fortunate omens, and felt his extensive search had been utterly fruitless. After all, his master had described it as a treasure capable of enhancing his cultivation base and even his innate talent.

"Sigh, it seems my luck has run dry. I need to calm myself. I'm sure I'll find something better than this," Ye Chen declared with a sigh, trying to maintain an optimistic outlook. Though he was unaware of who had taken the treasure, the surrounding evidence suggested the cliff had been shattered by a single, powerful blow. He surmised that the culprit might be a Martial King.

Nevertheless, he felt no fear. His cultivation base was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if he were to confront a Martial King, he was confident in his ability to emerge victorious. This confidence stemmed from the numerous powerful and hidden techniques his master had imparted to him.

"I should return and ask Tang Xuan to investigate this," Ye Chen decided, speaking calmly. Tang Xuan was his friend, the son of the patriarch of the Tang family, one of the most prominent families in the Qin country. Ye Chen had once cured Tang Xuan's grandfather of an illness, forging a strong bond with the Tang family, especially Tang Xuan, whom he considered a brother.

With that decision made, he departed from Longbo Mountain.

In Tianhai City, within Lin Tian's villa, time passed swiftly, and the night drew to a close. Throughout the night, Lin Tian had absorbed the dragon veins and consumed two Celestial Dew fruits. He had opted not to share these treasures with his parents, thinking he was too lazy to deal with their potential suspicions about his newfound wealth. After integrating these two treasures, he felt a tangible increase in his strength. He could even vaguely sense a slight improvement in his cultivation talent. To be perfectly honest, the effect was somewhat different from his expectations; he had anticipated these treasures would have a minimal impact on him. However, after absorbing them entirely, he felt significantly more powerful than before. It was, of course, a very good outcome, and he was currently quite satisfied.
