Chapter 387: Chapter 385: I’m Easy to Raise
The Inter-Realm Token, the token of each realm’s envoy.
Under certain conditions, it allows one to travel throughout the Six Paths Realm.
It is an ancient artifact, with only one existing for each realm!
Furthermore, only cultivators no higher than the Great Saint Realm can hold an Inter-Realm Token and travel between realms.
In other words, the Inter-Realm Token is useless for powerful beings at the Great Saint Realm and above.
Even if they held an Inter-Realm Token, they would still be blocked by the world barriers and be unable to cross realms!
Generally speaking, the Inter-Realm Token is held by a realm’s envoy.
But now, the Asura Realm’s Inter-Realm Token was actually in Suu Luo’s hands?
Jiang Jichen was speechless and frantic. He felt like he’d taken a huge blow.
"Suu Luo, fess up. Did you steal that Inter-Realm Token?"
Jiang Jichen stared intently at the Inter-Realm Token. He desperately wanted to get his hands on it.
With it, he could travel between the Six Realms and do almost whatever he pleased.
However, the Heaven-Reaching Token also has usage restrictions. Generally, it can only be used once a year.
For example, since Suu Luo used the Heaven-Reaching Token to appear in the Mortal World this time, she would have to wait at least a year before she could travel among the Six Paths again.
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s question, Suu Luo looked a little embarrassed. She fidgeted for a moment before saying, "I didn’t steal it! Auntie Suu Yu lost it to me in a bet. I have to return it to her in ten years!"
Without a doubt, Suu Yu must be the current envoy of the Asura Realm.
What on earth did they bet on?
For the Asura Realm’s envoy to lose the Inter-Realm Token... Jiang Jichen felt more and more certain that Suu Luo was not as innocent as she appeared. At times, she was downright devious.
Unable to get rid of Suu Luo, a resigned Jiang Jichen could only let her tag along.
And so, a solo journey became a journey for two.
From the endless yellow sands of the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road to the desolate, weed-strewn wilderness, Suu Luo was by his side.
Jiang Jichen felt wronged and helpless!
"Brother Jichen, I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
They had only walked about a hundred li through the boundless wilderness when Suu Luo suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Jichen’s face darkened. He felt that bringing along a foodie even more voracious than Yee Youmeng was a very unwise decision.
"Suu Luo, you have a great figure. You should try to maintain it!"
Jiang Jichen said tactfully, his words carrying a hidden meaning. He hoped Suu Luo would stop talking about food.
However, as if completely oblivious to his hidden meaning, Suu Luo replied, "Don’t worry, Brother Jichen! I never get fat no matter how much I eat!"
It had already come to this. What else could Jiang Jichen do?
He was sure Suu Luo had understood what he meant and was just pretending to be innocent and ignorant. ’She’s so wicked, so devious!’
Jiang Jichen really didn’t want to pay her any mind, but he was currently eyeing the Inter-Realm Token in her hands.
Therefore, he had to suck up to Suu Luo.
For instance, when Suu Luo said she was hungry, he had to act like he was happy to oblige, no matter how unwilling he felt.
The wilderness stretched on endlessly, an aura of the Primordial Chaos drifting between heaven and earth.
In the distance, Jiang Jichen spotted a large, solitary tree growing in the wilderness.
Dust swirled around it, and the wind rose and fell.
Only the tree remained motionless, like a lonely giant standing there, gazing out at the desolate land.
Jiang Jichen and Suu Luo decided to stop beneath the giant tree.
Jiang Jichen took out the huge Ancient Medicine Cauldron, rinsed it clean, and poured in the mysterious Spiritual Spring water he had obtained from the forbidden area of the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
Then, he took out some Flame Wood that was several thousand years old and started a fire!
Next, he brought out the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature and began to skin and butcher it with his Holy Sword.
Chunks of meat, all uniform in size, flew into the Ancient Medicine Cauldron.
Jiang Jichen only carved off one-fiftieth of the Advanced Mysterious Space-Time Creature’s Flesh.
But that was already equivalent to one-fifth of an Ancient Elephant!
Fortunately, the Ancient Medicine Cauldron was truly extraordinary. It contained a pocket universe within, so it could have held the entire Mysterious Space-Time Creature without any problem.
Afterward, Jiang Jichen began taking out all sorts of incredibly precious Spirit Medicines and tossing them into the Ancient Medicine Cauldron.
As the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System, the one thing Jiang Jichen didn’t lack right now was Spirit Medicine.
Dozens of Spirit Medicines, large and small—Earth Spirit Fruits, Eight Treasure Flowers, Blood Lotus Seeds, Three Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Auras, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old He Shou Wu, Water Spirit Treasure Medicines, and more—were all thrown into the Ancient Medicine Cauldron by Jiang Jichen to stew with the flesh of the Mysterious Space-Time Creature.
The stunning Female Asura, Suu Luo, had moved her Jade Chair over. With her exquisite, jade-like chin propped in her hand, she stared eagerly, swallowing with a GULP from time to time.
Jiang Jichen was so angry he nearly went over and gave her a sharp flick on the head!
It was one thing for her to be a foodie; he could tolerate that.
But he was busy as a bee, and she couldn’t even offer to lend a hand?
’Suu Luo, you’re being ridiculously lazy!’
With a livid expression, Jiang Jichen stoked the flames under the Medicine Cauldron, controlling the heat.
All the while, he had to endure Suu Luo’s incessant pestering from the side.
"Brother Jichen, is it ready yet? I’m about to starve to death!"
"Brother Jichen, haha! Your face is all black, you look like a messy kitten!"
...
’The hell it’s black! If you know my face is covered in soot, why don’t you come and wipe it off for me?’
Jiang Jichen was truly speechless and on the verge of going crazy.
But at last, the massive cauldron of incomparably precious meat juice was ready.
The moment he lifted the lid of the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, a fragrant aroma instantly filled the air in all directions.
Just one deep breath was enough to make a person intoxicated.
Moreover, as the aroma entered his mouth, Jiang Jichen could feel his spirit jolt. Subtle changes occurred in his body as his Blood Qi and Spiritual Power grew richer.
This cauldron of Treasure Medicine Juice was far too precious and extraordinary.
Setting aside the rare Spirit Medicines, just the High-Level Mysterious Space-Time Creature alone was not something that could be hunted casually. It was a rarity in the world.
The Advanced Mysterious Space-Time Creature’s Flesh contained infinite essence. Although it couldn’t compare to its Inner Core, the juice was much easier to digest once consumed.
More importantly, this was an absolute delicacy, a once-in-a-lifetime treat!
"Yay! Time to eat!"
The instant the lid was lifted from the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, Suu Luo had already jumped over, full of initiative and enthusiasm.
She unabashedly took out her exquisite Jade Bowl, flipped it in the air toward the mouth of the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, and filled it to the brim.
But in an instant, one-tenth of the juice in the Ancient Medicine Cauldron was gone!
Jiang Jichen could tell with a single glance that Suu Luo’s Jade Bowl was no simple item; it contained a small pocket dimension.
"Brother Jichen, I don’t eat much. I’m very easy to raise. A few bowls are enough!"
Suu Luo downed a bowl of the juice in one go, wiped her mouth, and spoke with some bashfulness as she quickly flipped her Jade Bowl again, effortlessly filling a second one.
Jiang Jichen sucked in a sharp breath!
’You call that not eating much?’
’You call that easy to raise?’
’You finished one-tenth in a single gulp, and you want a few more bowls!’
’Suu Luo, could you be any more shameless?’
’Who could possibly afford to keep you? They’d be eaten into poverty in no time!’
Jiang Jichen wailed internally.
However, perhaps because she had been truly starving at first, Suu Luo drank the first two bowls ferociously, downing each in a single gulp.
By the third bowl, she finally slowed down, drinking it sip by sip like a gently flowing stream.
Only then did Jiang Jichen breathe a sigh of relief.
And so, the two of them gathered around the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, slowly sipping the incomparably delicious juice while watching the dust rise over the wilderness.
Night gradually began to fall.
The dim sky was starless, and the faint roars of mysterious Fierce Beasts could occasionally be heard in the distance.
Just then, an old man in black robes suddenly walked over from the dim horizon, appearing before Jiang Jichen in an instant.
"What a fragrant aroma of Advanced Mysterious Space-Time Creature’s Flesh. Little brother, I wonder if you could spare a few bowls for this old man?"
A voice full of the vicissitudes of time rang out.
