51: Chapter 51 Purchasing Materials

“Let’s go look for them in the Market tomorrow first.” Some of these Materials he had some understanding of, while others he had never even heard the names of.

Chen Jiancang looked up and saw that Chen Jianyun’s forehead was already covered in sweat, yet her hands did not stop for a moment, so he quickly got up and went to help.

The seven-tenths of a Spirit Field, in less than half an hour, was leveled under the combined efforts of the two.

The night sky was heavy, spreading out like ink, enveloping the entire world within it.

Chen Jiancang and Chen Jianyun, who had finished leveling the Spirit Field, straightened their backs and looked at the completely new Spirit Field, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing a touch of coolness, but it could not hide the fatigue of the two.

Chen Jiancang was the first to break the silence, a gentle smile on his face, his tone soft and concerned: “Yun Mei, thanks to your help today, otherwise, I don’t know how much effort this seven-tenths of a Spirit Field would have taken. It’s getting late, you should go back and rest well.”

Chen Jianyun raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, returning a bright smile, her tone light: “Cang-ge, then I’ll go back first, you should also rest early.”

Chen Jiancang looked at Chen Jianyun, his heart filled with tenderness, his gaze unconsciously wandering between her hair tips wet with sweat and her rosy cheeks.

After hesitating for a moment, he mustered his courage and slowly stepped forward, his heart pounding as if it was about to burst through his chest.

Chen Jianyun seemed to sense his intentions. In an instant, a blush, like a fiery cloud in the sky, quickly spread to her earlobes. She lowered her head, her hands nervously clutching the corner of her clothes, her toes unconsciously tapping the ground, looking utterly shy.

Chen Jiancang reached out his hand, his movements as gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing this beautiful moment. His fingertips trembled slightly as he gently lifted her chin.

Their eyes met, and even the surrounding breeze seemed intoxicated, quietly stilling, leaving only the warmth of their breaths and the rapid beating of their hearts.

Chen Jiancang slowly leaned down, his breath gently falling on Chen Jianyun’s forehead, planting a deep kiss on her smooth forehead. The kiss was as gentle as the softest breeze in spring, carrying endless cherish and fondness.

Chen Jianyun gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her face filled with happiness and shyness, immersed in this sweet and warm atmosphere.

After a long time, Chen Jiancang finally straightened up, his eyes full of gentle smiles.

Chen Jianyun slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling, with a hint of shyness and endless sweetness, her voice soft andGlutinous: “Cang-ge, then I’m really leaving.”

Chen Jiancang’s mouth curved upwards, he nodded gently, and said softly: “Okay, be careful on the way, see you tomorrow.”

Chen Jianyun turned around, her steps light yet with a hint of hurriedness, like a cheerful little deer, occasionally looking back at Chen Jiancang, the fondness in her eyes self-evident.

Chen Jiancang stood rooted to the spot, his gaze following her retreating figure closely until she disappeared into the end of the night, only then turning and walking towards home with a heart full of sweetness and anticipation.

Early the next morning, as the dawn broke, the silent world gradually awakened.

Strands of sunlight penetrated the thin clouds, gently sprinkling onto Xiao Yun Mountain like golden gauze.

A gentle breeze blew, and the flowers and plants by the roadside swayed gracefully, dew drops rolling on the leaves, sparkling with crystal clear light.

Chen Jiancang woke up early, a good night’s sleep making him look refreshed.

Recalling the sweet moments with Chen Jianyun last night, his mouth curved upwards unconsciously.

After a simple wash, he set off towards the Market in high spirits.

Stepping into the Market, it was already the usual bustling and lively scene.

The sounds of hawking and laughter intertwined, non-stop. The stalls were densely packed, displaying a dazzling array of immortal cultivation items, making one’s eyes swim.

Chen Jiancang walked through the stall area and headed straight towards Chen's Treasure Pavilion.

As the largest Treasure Pavilion in the Xiao Yun Mountain Market, its goods were also the most complete. If those Materials were not available here, the possibility of them existing elsewhere would be minimal.

Moreover, Chen Jiancang did not intend to collect all the Materials at once, he could only say that he would try his best.

As soon as he stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, his cousin Chen Jianlei spotted him with sharp eyes and rushed forward with a face full of smiles.

“Jiancang, you’ve come. I heard you became an Alchemist, and I haven’t congratulated you yet. Congratulations, congratulations.”

A modest smile appeared on Chen Jiancang’s face. He clasped his hands and said respectfully: “Seventh Brother, it was just a coincidence, coupled with a little effort on my part, I was lucky enough to pass.”

Chen Jianlei laughed heartily, patted Chen Jiancang heavily on the shoulder, and said heartily: “Don’t be modest! In our Chen Family, there haven’t been many who have emerged in the art of Alchemy for so many years. You are surpassing the old, and you will surely shine brightly in the future and bring glory to your ancestors.”

Chen Jiancang nodded slightly, his heart full of gratitude. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Jianlei continued: “Speaking of which, you came to the Treasure Pavilion today, are you looking for any Alchemy Materials? Just say it, as long as the Treasure Pavilion has stock, I, your Seventh Brother, will definitely help you with all my might and give you the most favorable price.”

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Jiancang’s eyes. He took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: “Seventh Brother, I have a list of Materials here. These Materials are very important to me. Please take a look and see if our Treasure Pavilion has any stock?”

After Chen Jianlei took it and examined it carefully, he showed an unnatural expression and said: “Jiancang, among the list of Materials you have, there is stock of Red Flame Beast feces, mystic yang soil, Jade Dew Nectar, snake venom, snake skin, jade marrow liquid, and Spirit Earthworms.”

“How come I’ve never even heard of this Deep Sea Cold Mud, Gold God Feather Robe Powder, Spirit Void Stone Powder, and Dreamflower Pistil Juice?”

Chen Jianlei awkwardly scratched his head and said with a hint of embarrassment: “Jiancang, why don’t you wait here for a moment? I’ll go and ask Manager Tian.”

“Chen Jiancang had not held out much hope for these four Materials, but what he did not expect was that apart from these four Materials, all the other Materials were in stock.”

Chen Jiancang nodded in response: “Then I’ll trouble Seventh Brother.”

Not long after, Tian Zhongli walked over with steady steps, a kind smile on his face: “Jiancang, congratulations on becoming an Alchemist. You are truly young and promising.”

Jiancang quickly bowed and saluted, humbly saying: “Manager Tian is too kind, Jiancang was just lucky, and there is still much that I need to learn.”

Tian Zhongli waved his hand and said with a smile: “No need to be modest, being able to become an Alchemist is a real skill.”

“Jianlei just told me about the Materials you need. Although our store doesn’t have the Materials you need, I have heard of them. This Deep Sea Cold Mud, as far as I know, is a special product from the extremely cold deep sea. I only heard of this item at a Hanhai Li Family auction before. If you want to find it in the Qingya Mountain Range, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Chen Jiancang felt a wave of helplessness upon hearing this. This Han Sea was a huge lake separated from the Qingya Mountain Range by thousands of miles, and it was connected to the boundless sea. The Hanhai Li Family specialized in spiritual fishing.

For the current Chen Jiancang, obtaining Deep Sea Cold Mud was truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“It seems I can only temporarily give up on planting the Seven-Leaf Blood Vein Grass.” Chen Jiancang calculated in his heart.

Tian Zhongli looked at the subtle changes on Chen Jiancang’s face and continued with a smile: “Gold God Feather Robe Powder is a layer of tiny dust attached to the back of the leaves of the second-order spirit plant, Gold God Grass. It has the effect of clearing orifices. The spiritual medicine garden in the Main Branch Pill Hall has Gold God Grass planted there. Dreamflower is the same. If you want it, with your status as an Alchemist of the Branch Pill Hall, it should not be difficult to obtain.”

Chen Jiancang finally showed a hint of a smile upon hearing this.

“Originally, I thought the most difficult Materials to get would be easier.”

“It seems I still need to find an Opportunity to visit the Main Branch Pill Hall.”

“Spirit Void Stone Powder is the powder ground from the second-order spiritual material, Spirit Void Stone. There should be a chance to obtain it in the Main Branch Market. However, for the other Materials in stock, feel free to take them. As for the price, I will definitely give you the biggest discount.”

Although Chen Jiancang felt a hint of regret in his heart for not being able to collect all the Materials, he was still extremely grateful and said: “Manager Tian’s help is greatly appreciated by Jiancang. Even if these few items are missing, being able to obtain the rest of the Materials is still a significant harvest.”

Tian Zhongli smiled and nodded, instructing a waiter to prepare the Materials.

Not long after, the waiter placed the mystic yang soil, jade marrow liquid, and other Materials one by one on the counter. Chen Jiancang carefully examined them. These Materials were of excellent quality, and he was very satisfied.
