Chapter 841: Chapter 345: Three Methods of Core Formation, the Test of the Great Dao Path!

Outside Qingdan Valley, atop Xiao Nanshan.

Luo Chen sat in the pavilion of the Ink Lotus Garden, engrossed in a book he held in his hands.

Opposite him, Shi Lan rested her chin on her hands, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

Finally, she couldn’t contain herself any longer.

“Brother Luo, I didn’t expect your Pill Refinement Technique to be so formidable,” she said.

“How exactly did you come to possess such skill in Pill Refinement?”

...

Luo Chen smiled but didn’t speak.

As if opening a floodgate,

Shi Lan began to chatter nonstop, “You have no idea, during the second round of the competition, the True Disciples from Ailao Mountain and the Hundred Flowers Palace totally looked down on you.”

“But after the third round ended, all of them were dumbfounded.”

“And there were a few who secretly bet Spirit Stones, all putting their money on Dan Yangzi, but Dan Yangzi only ranked fourth in the second round overall. They lost a fortune.”

Luo Chen looked up and asked casually,

“What about you, did you lose or win?”

“I won, I earned more than twenty thousand Spirit Stones!” Shi Lan said with pride, lifting her little chin high.

For someone like her who had just reached Foundation Establishment, this was indeed a fortune.

Luo Chen was surprised, feeling somewhat moved.

“I didn’t expect you to support me so much.”

“Uh…”

Looking at Shi Lan’s embarrassed expression, Luo Chen seemed to realize something.

“You didn’t bet on me to win?”

“Mhm.”

“Then how did you win so many Spirit Stones?”

Shi Lan stated matter-of-factly, “Because I was the one setting the odds! They all lost, so naturally, I won, right?”

Luo Chen couldn’t hold back any longer.

His forehead veins throbbed, eyes looking at Shi Lan with some displeasure.

“I feel the need to have a discussion with your master about reducing your monthly Jade Dew Pill allowance.”

“How did you know I’ve been taking Jade Dew Pills after my Foundation Establishment!” Shi Lan blinked in surprise, then blurted out, “Don’t tell me the Jade Dew Pills for Jueqing’s Clan are also provided by you?”

Luo Chen looked at her helplessly.

Of course, he knew!

She had been taking Jade Dew Pills, and it seemed the effects had not even been fully assimilated yet.

The familiar scent of Pill Qi was as evident to him as a candle in the dark because he himself had refined those pills.

Average people couldn’t refine their Cleaning Technique to the point of renewal as he had.

They couldn’t just dissipate their own scent at will.

Seeing Luo Chen didn’t deny it, Shi Lan stood up excitedly.

“The Jade Dew Pills were actually refined by you, Brother Luo!”

“My granny didn’t even tell me; she insisted on keeping it a secret.”

“Brother, is it possible for you to give me a few extra bottles? Master only gives me a little each month, and it’s never enough.”

She prattled on, her tongue quite agile.

But this girl was indeed quite adept at making a profit.

She had been quite the sweet talker when selling Immortal Mansions and Spirit Lands before.

Recalling how she had arranged an Ascendant Grade Cave House for him early on, Luo Chen knew he might need her help for future Luo Tian Creed matters.

Luo Chen smiled as he handed her a bottle of the Jade Dew Pill.

“There are no extras, but consider this bottle of Medium Grade Jade Dew Pill my congratulatory gift for your Foundation Establishment!”

Medium Grade!

Shi Lan’s eyes lit up, and she took the bottle hastily.

“Thank you, Brother Luo, you’re the best!”

“Alright, alright, I’m not a disciple of the Ice Castle, so stop calling me ‘brother’ every sentence…”

Shi Lan replied, puzzled, “But wasn’t it rumored before that you were one of Ice Castle Jueqing’s Clan? And as the saying goes, ‘respect the accomplished,’ it’s only right to call you brother, isn’t it?”

Luo Chen paused, taken aback.

Had it already spread?

The Jueqing Fairy had moved silently and quickly.

She was already publicly proclaiming him as one of her own.

As Luo Chen thought of the Jueqing Fairy, she appeared.

Luo Chen gazed into the distance; by the entrance of the Ink Lotus Garden, four figures gradually came into view.

The leader was the Jueqing Fairy and Ascendant Master Bai Su.

Following them were the still pale-faced Tao Wen and Tao Yisheng.

With his keen Spirit Consciousness, Luo Chen detected their approach early, but Shi Lan didn’t react as quickly.

She was still busy buttering up Luo Chen.

“Brother, can I use Spirit Stones to buy Jade Dew Pills from you in private in the future? These Elixirs are so good. When I take others, I always end up coughing.”

What an exaggeration!

“Cough, cough!”

“Eh, Brother Luo, why are you coughing?”

As Shi Lan wondered, her body suddenly stiffened.

She turned around and bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Master, greetings, Ascendant Master Bai Su!”

After her greeting, she dutifully ran to join Tao Yisheng and started chatting with him.

The Jueqing Fairy glanced at her, then turned her attention to Luo Chen.

“Now that this is settled, I will be leaving Qingdan Valley for Tianlan soon. Will you come with us?” she asked.

Luo Chen closed the book in his hand.

“Thank you for the kind offer, but I plan to wait until Tao Wen’s Seed Cultivator Ceremony is over before I journey back to Tianlan.”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Tao Wen, who was giving him a smiling look.

The Jueqing Fairy nodded, “Alright, after you return, come find me at the Jia First Cave Mansion.”

Find her for what?

Naturally for some benefit!

By declaring Luo Chen as one of her own in front of so many people and getting him to give up various generous offers from the Outer World,

if she didn’t come up with something good, she’d be criticized as stingy!

Suppressing the anticipation in his heart, Luo Chen bade them respectful farewell.

The Jueqing Fairy didn’t linger any longer and proceeded to leave the garden. Shi Lan followed close behind.

Ascendant Master Bai Su, with a twinkle of interest in her eyes, watched Luo Chen for a moment before she, too, went out to see off her friend.

Now, in the garden, only Tao Wen and Luo Chen remained.

Yes, Tao Yisheng had also excused himself with discretion.
