136: The aloof witch is also a big glutton.
Chen Chuanjie's expression was somewhat helpless. He felt he was truly unlucky to have provoked such a big trouble, so he could only cup his hands and say:
“I can compete with you, Miss, but I will not fight a life-and-death struggle with you. We shall only determine who is superior!”
The witch merely wrinkled her nose and gave a cold snort, her gaze staring at Chen Chuanjie like a blade:
“Who cares what you think? I am definitely going to kill you!”
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Chen Changsheng quickly stepped in and said with a beaming smile:
“Chuanjie, don't be stubborn with this young lady. She is injured and needs to recover. Let's all head out!”
After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he began to usher people out, driving the three brothers away. As he was leaving, Chen Changsheng deliberately turned back and said:
“My Chuanjie is a man of honor and has never been in love. He has good natural talent, reaching the Third Layer of Qi Refining at only fifteen years old this year. Miss, you should consider my son; you two could be considered to have met through a fight!”
“Get out!”
The girl's eyes were sharp as knives as she glared fiercely at Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng wasn't angry, however; he just chuckled, pulled the door shut for the girl, and withdrew.
To be honest, Chen Changsheng really felt this girl was not bad. Although she called herself a witch, her actions were upright and her personality was frank; she wouldn't be a bad match!
“Chuanjie, if your Meridians recover, are you confident you can defeat her?”
Chen Changsheng asked Chen Chuanjie outside the door. Chen Chuanjie lowered his head in deep thought for a while, then looked up and said:
“In a life-and-death struggle, she is no match for me. If I were to spare her life, the outcome would likely be fifty-fifty!”
Chen Changsheng laughed heartily, patted Chen Chuanjie on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
“Third son, don't be afraid. On our Chen Family territory, we can't let her bully you. If you fall into a disadvantage, our whole family will jump in together and play the rogue with her!”
As soon as Chen Changsheng said this, Chuanwu and Chuanwen looked at each other and laughed loudly, while Chen Chuanjie could only look on with a face full of helplessness.
He actually wanted to win by his own ability, but he knew that at a truly critical moment, his father and the others would not just stand by and watch.
“Father, rest assured I will win. There's no need for you all to take action!”
Chen Changsheng nodded. He still had great trust in Chen Chuanjie's strength.
“As long as you have confidence. Father will go study some Medicinal Pills for you so you can restore your Meridians as soon as possible!”
Chen Changsheng took the small booklet containing the Pill Formula and went to the study, while Chuanjie was helped into his room by his two brothers.
In the study, Chen Changsheng opened the booklet. There were a total of three Pill Formulas inside, which were:
moonlight vein-mending pill, Moonlight Soul-Nurturing Pill, and Moonlight Law-Passing Pill!
Among these three Medicinal Pills, one was for restoring Meridians, one was for nurturing the Divine Soul, and the last was for increasing cultivation speed.
None of these three Medicinal Pills were simple. One should know that for a Qi Refining Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, the most important thing is having enough Divine Soul power. This Moonlight Soul-Nurturing Pill could be said to be a Divine Pill that assists in Foundation Establishment.
And the Moonlight Law-Passing Pill could not only increase a Cultivator's cultivation speed but also coat their Magic Power with a layer of moonlight power, making the power of the Cultivator's Magic Power even stronger and granting immunity to all poisons!
As for the moonlight vein-mending pill, besides being able to repair Meridians, it could also nourish them, making the Cultivator's Meridians even tougher!
“Fine pills indeed, but I wonder if the Materials will be hard to find?”
Chen Changsheng praised and then began looking at the medicinal herbs needed to refine these three types of pills.
Reading through the whole thing, almost all the herbs for refining these three pills could be bought in the Prefecture City. There was only one main ingredient that was priceless and unavailable, with absolutely no one selling it!
That was moonlight stone milk!
moonlight stone milk itself is a precious jade; it can not only neutralize all poisons but also prevent Qi Deviation, and even significantly increase one's cultivation!
Once someone obtains moonlight stone milk, they would definitely not sell it and would surely use it themselves, so this kind of treasure simply does not circulate on the market!
Chen Changsheng's brow furrowed. Knowing the Alchemy method was useless without the Materials!
At that moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed he actually did know the whereabouts of moonlight stone milk!
Back when Chuanwen traded with the Local Chieftain, he had once obtained moonlight grass, and moonlight stone milk must be near moonlight grass.
“It seems I need to have a good talk with those Local Chieftains. I hope they are a bit easier to talk to!”
Chen Changsheng bent his index finger and tapped lightly on the table, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
The sky gradually darkened. Chen Changsheng was still studying the Pill Formula, while Chuanjie took his eldest nephew to Jade Dragon Pool to make grilled fish.
Because Chen Chuanjie was an injured person, Chuanwen had specifically sent him two Black Carp Spirit Fish.
Almost everyone in the Chen Family had tasted the flavor of the Black Carp Spirit Fish; it was absolutely praiseworthy and left a lasting aftertaste!
Thus, the greedy Cheng An dragged Chen Chuanjie to the vicinity of Jade Dragon Pool to grill fish.
As for why they weren't grilling in the courtyard—in the courtyard, all the grilled fish would definitely be Chuanjie's, and there certainly wouldn't be any for little Cheng An. After all, these two Black Carp Spirit Fish were for consoling the injured!
Little Cheng An was quite shrewd, so he specifically dragged Chuanjie to Jade Dragon Pool for a picnic so the others wouldn't be able to find them.
“Third Uncle, is the fish done? My stomach is already growling with hunger!”
Little Cheng An rubbed his stomach with one hand while smelling the fragrance of the grilled fish; drool was almost flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“Wait just a moment, it'll be ready soon!”
Chen Chuanjie rubbed Cheng An's head and said with a smile. Just then, Chuanjie heard a faint sound in the dense forest.
“Who's there? Come out!”
Chen Chuanjie looked into the dense forest with a vigilant expression. Sure enough, after a short while, a figure walked out from the forest; it was the witch, who had put her veil back on.
“Why so fierce! You Chen Family members are really something—offering me rice while you yourselves are grilling such fragrant fish!”
“Our Chen Family is by no means stingy. If you want to eat, you can come over and eat with us!”
While grilling the fish, Chen Chuanjie kindly invited the witch.
The fragrance of the Black Carp Spirit Fish was very potent, and combined with the barbecue seasoning from his previous life that Chen Changsheng had developed, the scent was even more overwhelming. The witch couldn't help but swallow.
“Hmph, you're the one inviting me to eat; it's not that I want to eat it!”
The witch found an excuse for herself and then came to Chen Chuanjie's side, her eyes staring unblinkingly at the fragrant grilled fish.
Finally, the fish was grilled. Chen Chuanjie gave one each to Cheng An and the witch. The witch took a bite, her eyes lighting up and turning into crescent shapes, overflowing with the taste of happiness.
And so, the witch and Cheng An began to eat without regard for their image, their mouths becoming oily. This appearance actually made her look a bit more cute!
Heh, this witch looks cold and aloof, but who knew she was also a greedy girl!
“Hey, what's your name? We can't just keep calling you 'witch', right?”
Seeing the witch was in a good mood after eating and lying comfortably by the Jade Dragon Pool savoring the deliciousness of the grilled fish, Chen Chuanjie asked.
“Seeing as your skill is not bad and you treated me to a great meal, I'll let you be a ghost who knows the truth. My name is Shangguan Zhuiyue. When you see the King of Hell after you die, don't forget to report my name!”
