Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 85: Find the Baxia Vessel and Head to Osaka

Xu Beichen and Zhao Manyan didn't hesitate and directly located Yan Mingsi using their mobile phone maps.

Xu Beichen didn't intend to discuss it with the monks inside, since the Baxia vessel didn't belong to them anyway, so the two bypassed the temple and went directly to the back mountain.

The road behind the mountain was longer than I had imagined, and the stone lanterns on both sides of the path were all covered by weeds.

Even some lush branches stretched out onto the road, intersecting and blocking their way. Clearly, this place had been abandoned for some time and hadn't been visited by anyone for a long time.

The path began to ascend the slope of the mountain, and on a high platform extending to the edge of the valley, the two saw a very ancient brick and tile building.

"Brother Xu, you brought me here just to see this dilapidated house?" Zhao Manyan said in astonishment.

Xu Beichen didn't explain anything along the way. Zhao Manyan thought it was something good, but he ended up being brought to this place.

wrong!

Zhao Manyan suddenly had a very bad feeling and looked at Xu Beichen warily, even putting some distance between them.

In the desolate wilderness, two young men, plus their good looks.

"Brother Xu, although you have been kind to our Zhao family, I only sell my art, not my body," Zhao Manyan hurriedly said.

"???"

Xu Beichen, who was walking in front, was completely stunned. He looked at Zhao Manyan with some displeasure and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? I brought you here to help you find a top-tier treasure."

Damn it, good intentions never get rewarded. I brought this guy to find Baxia Vessels, and he even doubted his orientation.

Upon hearing that they were looking for treasure, Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Uh, sorry, sorry."

Zhao Manyan gave an awkward smile, feeling a sense of 'I deserve to die' in his heart.

Xu Beichen didn't bother with the guy and kept walking forward. If it weren't for the fact that leaving the lacquerware would be a waste, he really wouldn't have given it to this guy.

Upon arriving at the dilapidated house, Xu Beichen immediately used telekinesis to clear away all the weeds inside and nearby.

With these obstructions gone, the house finally revealed its true form.

This is an open temple, very small, with three steps, a terrace, and then the main hall.

In the center of the temple hall was a dusty object. After Xu Beichen cleaned the dust off, a rather strange wooden fish was revealed.

The wooden fish's curved lid was covered with carvings, which intersected regularly. Strange characters, like ancient magical symbols, were found within the small grids formed by these intersecting lines.

"Brother Xu, is this the treasure you were talking about?"

Zhao Manyan looked at the strange little gadget with curiosity.

Xu Beichen didn't reply, but tentatively placed his hand on the wooden fish.

The next moment, the wooden fish released a bright yellow lightning thread, which quickly transferred to Xu Beichen's palm.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Beichen's eyes. It really wasn't working.

"Magic tool?"

Zhao Manyan, who was standing nearby, was stunned by what he saw. There was a magical artifact with a restriction in such a desolate place.

"You give it a try." Xu Beichen withdrew his hand in time and then said to Zhao Manyan behind him.

Zhao Manyan nodded, his expression immediately becoming much more serious. This was a treasure that even Brother Xu couldn't acquire.

Zhao Manyan placed his trembling hand on the wooden fish, and in an instant, the lightning bolts burst forth again, but this time it didn't last long, stopping abruptly after a few seconds.

Xu Beichen's gaze sharpened. Judging from the situation, Zhao Manyan was indeed acknowledging Xu Beichen's talent. He truly lived up to his reputation as the chosen tortoise-shell mage, attracting Baxia even more than Xu Beichen, a super-level mage.

Seeing Lei Si disappear, Zhao Manyan was overjoyed and took the wooden fish in his hand, not forgetting to ask Xu Beichen:

"Brother Xu, what exactly is this thing?"

"This is a totem vessel. There's so much information about totems that I can't explain it to you in a short time," Xu Beichen said.

"Totem? Brother Xu, you're saying this is a vessel from the Four Sacred Totems?" Zhao Manyan only knew a little about the Four Sacred Totems.

Xu Beichen rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You wish! If it were a vessel from one of the Four Sacred Totems, I wouldn't have brought you here."

If there truly is a vessel with the Four Sacred Totems, Xu Beichen will not allow anyone else to obtain it, even if he cannot gain their approval.

That represents the combat power of an emperor, and it also has multiple effects similar to a small loach.

Unless someone is 100% trustworthy, Xu Beichen wouldn't be foolish enough to tell them.

He was both afraid his brother would suffer and afraid his brother would drive a Land Rover.

Moreover, in Xu Beichen's eyes, Zhao Manyan could not be considered a brother.

"If it's not a sacred totem, then what is this?"

Zhao Manyan smiled sheepishly. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If the Holy Totem were really that easy to find, he wouldn't have had a chance.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"The sub-totem of the Sacred Totem Xuanwu, Baxia, belongs to the same lineage as the Hangzhou Xuan Snake Totem," Xu Beichen said.

There was a very important reason why Xu Beichen was willing to help Zhao Manyan obtain this Baxia vessel.

Zhao Manyan's father has basically recovered and should live for at least another twenty or thirty years without any major problems. As long as Zhao Manyan's father is around, Zhao Youqian will not be able to cause any trouble.

The Zhao family will definitely become more and more powerful, and in the future, the family business will most likely fall into the hands of Zhao Manyan.

This is considered taking precautions.

"Baxia." Zhao Manyan murmured to himself, then said with a smile, "Brother Xu, I won't thank you enough. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."

"Alright, let's rejoin the team first. It's time to prepare to head to Osaka," Xu Beichen said to Zhao Manyan.

"Brother Xu, Lao Zhao, where did you two go this morning? You went out to have some fun without inviting me," Mo Fan said with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"I went to take care of some things," Xu Beichen said casually.

Seeing that Xu Beichen remained silent, Mo Fan had no choice but to go and torture Zhao Manyan.

Xu Beichen ignored the two of them and instead looked at Ai Jiangtu and the others, saying, "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here." Ai Jiangtu had obviously already counted the number of people.

"I've already bought the train tickets. I'm off to Osaka to challenge them," Xu Beichen said.

Xu Beichen had already planned that after meeting up with the mentor team, he would return to China with them.

The upcoming training is pointless; it's better to go back and earn points.

"Go to Osaka to challenge them? I'm quite good at that." Mo Fan immediately became interested.

"Hmph, you're just a substitute, this kind of sparring isn't for you."

Zu Jiming was holding a lot of resentment in his heart. Last night, Xu Beichen deliberately ostracized him, and he was the only one who didn't get to taste the barbecue skewers.

However, he still dared not provoke Xu Beichen. Even their Zu clan needed to curry favor with Xu Beichen, let alone a mere mid-level mage like himself.

Currently, there are many high-level mages in the team, so members with mid-level cultivation are naturally under the most pressure.
