Emperor of Nine Suns - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Mysterious Elderly Person

Tong Meng, who held tightly onto Chu Chen, felt weird. She subconsciously tried to reach for it. However, Chu Chen’s expression changed immediately. Seeing that his own indecency had about to be noticed by his junior sister, he quickly thought of an escape. With a laugh, he took out a crystal talisman from his pocket.

“It’s right, right?”

At the same time, he took the opportunity to have moved his body backward.

“Eh? Brother Chu, where did that talisman come from?”

Tong Meng’s eyes brightened and started to have examined the crystal amulet in detail. The talisman had been translucent like the clear autumn rain. Shaking it gently resulted in a cold light to have filled the air around them. It looked as though a clear stream of spring water had descended from heaven. It instantly caught her interest as she started playing with it.

“I killed a snow python that transformed into a scaled dragon during my trip to Taihan Snowy Mountain. This Calming Amulet is made from its horn. Carrying it can help purge heat and prevent Qi deviation. I carved it myself.” As Chu Chen explained, he quickly found a chair and sat down in order to prevent exposing his own indecency, having complained incessantly in his heart.

That had most definitely been an awkward situation for a teenager to have faced.

“This is wonderful.” Tong Meng walked up to Chu Chen and leaned into his embrace. “I didn’t expect Brother Chu to be good at this.”

In truth, Chu Chen merely bought a regular Understanding Inscriptions book from the market. After that, having used his terrifying spiritual consciousness, he easily learned the basics of creating a talisman.

“Thank you.”

Tong Meng bit her lip, then suddenly pulled Chu Chen’s head into her embrace. Before he could have responded, she closed her eyes and placed her lips on his.

‘Oh no, if this continues, I don’t think I can hold back…’

He could feel the Qi that welled up from within. Chu Chen knew in his heart that if things continued like that, he might really…

‘After all, Junior Sister Tong Meng is still young. No matter what it is, this is not the time for…’

“Oh right, Meng’er, who’s that old guy you drew?” In order to have dispelled the burning flames in his body caused by the scaled dragon penis, Chu Chen subconsciously tried to have shifted his attention away.

“I have no idea.”

The girl had slightly been embarrassed after her first kiss and buried her face in Chu Chen’s chest. She muttered, “A few days ago, External Elder Huang came looking for me and said that an old friend of his is on the verge of his final breath. He wanted me to make a drawing of him so I followed him to a quiet place in the hills to meet this old man. I was just planning to send it over sometime soon after I’ve finished painting it.”

“Mm.” Chu Chen considered for a moment. “Let me know when you’re sending this painting over. I’ll go with you.” That elderly person’s Qi deviation had not been too serious and still had hope. Chu Chen wanted to try saving him.

“Okay. I’ll definitely call you the next time I see him.” The girl smiled blissfully.

‘That damned dragon penis soup is really causing me a lot of trouble…’

Drenched in sweat, Chu Chen left the Blue Flower Valley. Upon having returned home, he quickly filled a barrel with cold water and soaked himself in it to have suppressed the burning fire within his body.

If it were not for his timely departure, he might have done things to his junior sister right there and then under the influence of the dragon penis. Chu Chen cared too much for his junior sister and had been unwilling to let things happen so casually.

After having soaked in the cold water for some time, Chu Chen finally felt the heat in his body calmed down and let out a sigh of relief.

Although he had suppressed the burning lust within him, the snow python’s Qi had still been roiling within his body. With that, Chu Chen assumed the lotus position in his courtyard and decided to cultivate under the moonlight to have digested and absorbed those Qi.

After having cultivated for several hours, Chu Chen noticed the spiritual energy within his body condensed to its limit, finally having reached the absolute limit of the great perfection stage of the Spiritual Mist Stage.

At that stage, his dantian’s sea of Qi, meridians, and limbs had been filled to the brim by the concentrated spiritual energy. No matter how hard he tried, he could not have absorbed the slightest shred of spiritual energy. It had just been like a cap that had been filled to its brim.

In order to have improved further, he could have only broken through to the Spiritual Droplets Stage and compressed all the concentrated spiritual energy in his body into a single drop of spiritual droplet. Only then would his cultivation have been able to move forward.

With nothing better to do and his mind filled with his junior sister’s petite and shapely body along with the fragrance of her virgin body, Chu Chen had been unable to sleep. He might as well have visited the sect market and checked out the ingredients the store owner helped him gather for the frost crystal elixir.

Right as he arrived at the elixir store in the market, he saw the store owner’s eyes brighten. He had changed to view Chu Chen as a little god of fortune. Putting all else aside, just the two stalks of spiritual herbs Chu Chen auctioned in his store had been sufficient. The commission was not the main point.

Most importantly, the two rare spiritual herbs had brought his elixir store great reputation. Fame had not been something that could have been measured with spirit stones. At that moment, Li’s Elixir Store had been trending and showed signs of becoming a famous store.

Due to that, the store owner would have been extremely enthusiastic whenever he saw Chu Chen. He would have personally led Chu Chen to the best private room and have his men prepare the best tea and snacks. After which, he would have offered Chu Chen the seat of an honored guest.

The store owner’s excessive kindness and ingratiating smile made Chu Chen feel uneasy.

“Have you collected the materials for the frost crystal elixir?”

“It’s all ready!” The store owner laughed, then took out a big bundle of herb packets wrapped in sack paper. “A total of twenty portions of supplementary ingredients for frost crystal elixir as promised.”

“Thank you very much.” Having seen that, Chu Chen finally felt the weight lifted off his shoulders. With both the black frost soul and these materials secured, the completion of the frost crystal elixir had been near.

“Don’t worry about it, little brother.” The store owner waved it away generously. “These are not precious items. They’re just rare because most of them can only be found in places of extreme cold in the North. I just happen to know a few people and have a little more channel to go with. These things are not hard to obtain. The total is only around two hundred spirit stones. You left four hundred spirit stones with me last time.”

Having said that, the owner chuckled and took out another 200 spirits and placed them on the table. “Here’s the remainder. If you have any good items in the future, feel free to sell it in my shop. If you need these kinds of ingredients, I can help you purchase them.”

Although this store owner had been a little cunning, he had still been considered a very efficient businessman. For Chu Chen, he had been a worthy business partner.

“I’ll be troubling you then. If I have more spiritual herbs in the future, I’ll surely auction it in your store. Oh right, there’s another matter that I need to consult with you,” Chu Chen asked softly after some consideration.

“Little brother, you’re being too reserved. What’s all this talk about consultation. You can just ask me any question.”
