Chapter 64: I’m Not Ready Yet (1)

[A/N: We’ve reached another weekly milestone, so tomorrow I’ll post two extra bonus Chapters! Also if we cross 150 power stones then I’ll post two more extra bonus Chapters!]

"We’re not going straight back to the Holy Land?"

Seeing Chen Chuan leading her toward Tianyu City, Ji Siyu couldn’t help but raise her head in confusion.

The rising sun reflected in her beautiful eyes, shimmering with brilliance.

"We need to handle some business in Tianyu City first." Chen Chuan was brief and offered no further explanation.

Ji Siyu obediently hummed in acknowledgment and asked no more questions, but the grip on his arm tightened slightly, and a hint of sweetness rose in her heart.

Being able to spend a moment longer with him outside, no matter where they went, was always a good thing.

Tianyu City, as the most prosperous city within a thousand miles, was bustling with traffic and teeming with people.

Cultivators and merchants entering and leaving the city were endless.

The appearance of Chen Chuan and Ji Siyu still attracted many sidelong glances.

Ji Siyu’s appearance and temperament were too outstanding; even though she restrained her Qi at the moment, her unparalleled grace was hard to completely conceal.

Although Chen Chuan was dressed plainly, he was tall and straight, handsome, and had deep eyes, naturally possessing an extraordinary demeanor.

Standing together with Ji Siyu, they were strangely harmonious and perfectly matched.

Chen Chuan paid no attention to these gazes.

Ji Siyu was even more accustomed to it; her attention was entirely focused on the person beside her.

Soon, the two arrived at the Wanbao Tower.

Stepping into the spacious and luxurious hall of Wanbao Tower, a beautiful maid immediately came forward to greet them.

Chen Chuan directly stated his purpose: he was looking for Steward Wang.

Seeing their extraordinary bearing, the maid did not dare to neglect them and quickly led them to a private room in the inner hall.

Before long, Steward Wang, wearing a brocade robe and sporting an astute face, walked in smiling.

He recognized Chen Chuan immediately; after all, the Medicinal Pills Chen Chuan had brought for auction last time were of extremely high quality, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Young Master Chen, what an honor! Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you!"

Steward Wang enthusiastically cupped his hands.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Ji Siyu beside Chen Chuan, and a flash of astonishment immediately appeared in his eyes.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"Steward Wang is too kind."

Chen Chuan returned a faint greeting, not engaging in excessive pleasantries.

He simply flicked his sleeve, and several jade bottles appeared on the table:

"I have some Medicinal Pills this time, and I’m entrusting your esteemed tower to auction them again."

Steward Wang’s eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to pick up the jade bottles and inspect them one by one.

When he opened two of the jade bottles.

Feeling the majestic medicinal power and the faint Pill Markings, a look of emotion involuntarily appeared on his face:

"These are Grade Six Medicinal Pills! Although slightly inferior to the last batch, they are still rare treasures."

"Young Master Chen, rest assured, our Wanbao Tower will definitely auction these for a satisfactory price."

Hearing this, profound confusion surfaced in Ji Siyu’s clear, beautiful eyes.

She looked at the bottles of Medicinal Pills, then at the calm-faced Chen Chuan, feeling very puzzled.

These Medicinal Pills, especially the Grade Six ones, were absolutely precious resources for ordinary Cultivators to enhance their Cultivation and save their lives at critical moments.

When others obtained them, they would treasure them greatly, wishing they could immediately enter seclusion to refine them.

But Chen Chuan, on the other hand, treated these Medicinal Pills like hot potatoes, taking them out one after another to sell.

Doesn’t he need to Cultivate?

Or is it that he simply doesn’t care about them?

She really couldn’t figure it out. Her cherry lips moved slightly, but she ultimately restrained herself from asking him on the spot.

This was Chen Chuan’s decision, and she chose to respect it.

Chen Chuan was not surprised by Steward Wang’s reaction and nodded.

After Steward Wang finished recording the items for auction, Chen Chuan changed the subject:

"Additionally, I need to purchase three sets of auxiliary ingredients for the Blazing Sun Pill."

Saying this, he listed the names of several medicinal ingredients.

Steward Wang was slightly startled. The Blazing Sun Pill was a Grade Six Medicinal Pill that was quite difficult to refine. Its main ingredient, the Blazing Sun Fruit, was fiery in nature and extremely difficult to control.

Without asking further questions, Steward Wang immediately ordered someone to prepare them.

The medicinal ingredients were quickly gathered.

Chen Chuan added, "Also, bring me a high-quality Pill Furnace."

Steward Wang did not dare to delay and immediately ordered someone to bring a Pill Furnace that was dark red all over and engraved with flame patterns.

Spiritual Qi fluctuations faintly emanated from the furnace body, indicating that its grade was clearly not low.

The transaction complete, Chen Chuan put away the medicinal ingredients and the Pill Furnace, and then, under the respectful gaze of Steward Wang, he left the Wanbao Tower with a thoroughly confused Ji Siyu.

Afterward, the two found an elegant inn in the city and settled down.

"You rest first."

Chen Chuan said this to Ji Siyu, walked to the center of the room, and with a wave of his hand, placed the dark red Pill Furnace on the floor.

Ji Siyu sat by the bed as instructed, her hands folded on her lap, but her beautiful eyes watched Chen Chuan without blinking, her curiosity growing stronger.

What is he going to do?

Could it be?

In the next moment, her guess was confirmed.

Chen Chuan sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, his expression solemn.

He first skillfully processed the ingredients for the Blazing Sun Pill one by one and placed them into the Pill Furnace.

Then, he formed hand seals. A wisp of pure white flame leaped from his fingertips and rose up.

The flame looked gentle, yet it radiated a holy aura that Purified all things and burned away evil, making the surrounding air feel pure.

"Is that Spirit Fire?"

Ji Siyu covered her red lips, nearly crying out in surprise.

Although her cultivation had not fully recovered, her eyesight remained sharp. She could clearly feel the extraordinary nature of this white flame, which was definitely incomparable to ordinary Pill Fire.

Under Ji Siyu’s astonished gaze, Chen Chuan controlled the wisp of pure white flame, precisely enveloping the Pill Furnace.

His movements were fluid and natural, and his control over the heat was impeccable, like a Grandmaster who had dedicated hundreds of years to the Dao of Alchemy.

The furnace fire was perfectly controlled, and a medicinal fragrance gradually diffused, yet there was no trace of dryness, instead carrying a warm and majestic energy.

As time passed, the shock in Ji Siyu’s heart did not subside; instead, it layered upon itself like ocean waves.

She finally realized, belatedly, that the Spiritual Power fluctuations emanating from Chen Chuan were deep and majestic, far surpassing before.

"He has actually Broken Through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm."

This discovery caused turbulent waves to rise in Ji Siyu’s heart.

She clearly remembered that when Chen Chuan left the Primordial Holy Land, he was only at the Mountain Sea Realm cultivation level.

This speed of Cultivation was simply terrifying.
