Chapter 346: Chapter 142: I, Chen Chang’an, hereby declare today, Daluo attested to Dao! _2
"So, you should go. I will explain everything to the Elders myself."
Is she really letting me go?
Chen Chang’an couldn’t understand.
Yet he didn’t leave, instead he said:
"Perhaps I can help with the problem that’s troubling you."
"You?" Wang Shiyu suspiciously scrutinized Chen Chang’an from head to toe, his ragged clothes and unstable steps inciting her anger: "Little thief, are you trying to trick me?"
"Look at this, young lady." Instead of getting angry over Wang Shiyu’s hostility, Chen Chang’an merely extended his palm in front of her eyes.
In the center of Chen Chang’an’s palm, a faint green smoke was fluctuating and swirling.
"Elixir Qi?!"
When Wang Shiyu looked at Chen Chang’an’s outstretched palm, she exclaimed in shock: "Is this Elixir Qi made from the Immortal Herbs?!"
"Exactly." Chen Chang’an grinned and nodded. It seems the young lady isn’t completely ignorant.
"Could it be that..." Wang Shiyu pondered for a while, looked at Chen Chang’an with a perplexed expression and then asked him, "Did you steal someone else’s Immortal Pill?"
Damn!
At her words, Chen Chang’an’s smile instantly disappeared.
Is this stupidity contagious? How can this kind of thing happen anywhere he goes?
"Miss! I’ll say it again, I’m not a thief, I’m really an Alchemist, and using your Immortal Herbs was an accident."
""
Chen Chang’an didn’t want to keep playing dumb with this prejudice-filled Wang Shiyu and roughly fabricated his background, saying:
"Originally, I’m a cultivator who travels all over, drifting through life and considering the four corners of the world my home.
The journey is long, cultivation is even longer, and over the years, I’ve learned a trick or two, Alchemy being one of them."
Chen Chang’an then ingested the elusive Elixir Qi and continued:
"On my journey, I suffered some internal injuries. I stumbled upon your place and thought these Immortal Herbs were unclaimed so I hastily took them and made a few elixirs. I hope you understand."
At present, because the elixir was healing his body, Chen Chang’an didn’t want to unnecessarily exert himself.
Plus, the predicament of Xuantian Gate was caused by his actions.
Chen Chang’an felt it best to recuperate here first.
"So you’re saying, that elusive Elixir Qi was left after you made the Immortal Pill?" Wang Shiyu widened her eyes and shouted, "You’re an Alchemist?!"
Damn!
"Indeed." On hearing this, Chen Chang’an felt embarrassed. It took her so long to catch on.
However, Chen Chang’an was indeed telling the truth. He could be considered a Pill Master and not of a low grade.
"Really an Alchemist?! Haha, we’re saved... we’re saved...!"
As soon as Chen Chang’an admitted to being an Alchemist, Wang Shiyu started pacing around in excitement, muttering to herself like a little duck/>
"What grade of Pill Master can make an Immortal Pill?"
Chen Chang’an replied, "Seventh Grade, it should be a Seventh Grade Pill Master."
"Yes, yes, yes! The Immortal pill is a Seventh Grade pill, and since you can make it, you’re naturally a Seventh Grade Pill Master."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s answer, Wang Shiyu bobbed her head eagerly, like a pecking chicken.
The next moment, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned to Chen Chang’an and said:
"Little thief, I can spare your life, even turn a blind eye to your theft, but you have to do me a favor."
"What favor?"
"Help me protect someone!"
Eh? Protect someone?
Chen Chang’an was startled after hearing this.
Protecting someone is no problem but how is this related to being or not being an Alchemist?
"Lady, who do I have to protect?" Despite knowing that the question was irrelevant, Chen Chang’an asked.
After all, being on the receiving end had its downsides
In the next moment, Wang Shiyu spoke, it was shocking!
"A person from the future."
Huh???! A person from the future?!
Upon hearing Wang Shiyu’s words, Chen Chang’an’s eyebrows furrowed.
However, before he could even respond, Wang Shiyu spoke again.
"Your encounter with the Sacred Tree was my doing."
Then, the Wang Shiyu before him seem to change.
She suddenly levitated, surrounded by brilliant radiance, making her look just like a Celestial Woman from the nine heavens.
Behind her, the image of a colorful ancient tree appeared, shading her with Immortal Light.
"I’m sorry for misleading you with a false name."
"First of all, congratulations, you’ve passed the test."
"Also, let’s reintroduce ourselves. My real name is Celestial Woman, and I’m the ruler of this world."
"There’s a big secret in you that I can’t see."
"Through the Sacred Tree, I vaguely saw a glimpse of the future."
"There, I saw you."
"At that time, you were shrouded in the Six Daos, with unparalleled charisma, standing between Heaven and Earth, unmatched throughout all of history."
"Your strength made time and space shift, years flow backward, and even the celestial gods trembled at your feet."
"I know the purpose of your journey here is the Sacred Tree."
"I can give you the Sacred Tree, and I can even unlock the highest level of power in the Sacred Tree, to assist you in assimilating the Immortal Law."
"As for how far you can go, it’s up to you."
"My condition is, you need to deliver a letter for me to the future."
