"From now on, set aside a separate portion each year. Rest assured, it is not for free—Dan Chenzi will pay with equivalent Spirit Stones, and I will explain it to the Sect Leader myself."
At this point, Tao Wen paused.
She rembered Luo Chen purchasing a considerable amount of ridian Protection Pills in the market, which were needed by Qi Refinent Cultivators for their Foundation Establishnt.
Those ridian Protection Pills were of too low a grade.
For Luo Chen, who was cultivating in a Weak Third Order Spirit Land, they were hardly of any significant use.
"Take out a bottle of Second Order Ascendant Grade ridian Protection Pill and deliver it to the Side Hall tomorrow."
Steward Chen’s mind trembled.
Second Order Ascendant Grade ridian Protection Pill!
That was an auxiliary elixir that only Budding Cultivators could enjoy!
One pill could protect the ridians for ten days, free from injury.
This item was even more precious than the so-called ridian-nourishing liquids!
In the entire Qingdan Valley, only Ascendant Master Xingyun would occasionally refine a batch.
He wanted to advise her, but under Tao Wen’s calm expression that seed to drift across the skies, he found no way to speak.
The Budding Cultivator’s commands—he must follow unconditionally!
...
"Second Order Ascendant Grade ridian Protection Pill!"
In the Side Hall, Luo Chen—who had just finished cultivating and erged—looked at what Steward Chen had brought with surprise and even shock.
Steward Chen looked enviously at the small bottle and said,
"This is sothing our Budding Cultivator Tao specifically ordered to deliver. Before cultivating, if you take it, you can protect your ridians from being injured by the impact of Spirit Qi."
"Friend, you’ve been cultivating a bit too desperately lately, you must pay attention to moderation. If you fall into demonic deviation, it wouldn’t be good."
"Budding Cultivator Tao is concerned about you, that’s why she sent this."
As if afraid Luo Chen would not appreciate Tao Wen’s consideration,
He even specially explained how precious the ridian Protection Pill was.
In reality, Tao Wen had never instructed him to say these things.
But he had already made up his mind to follow Tao Wen and naturally wanted to win people’s hearts for her.
After listening, Luo Chen was deeply moved.
"Steward Chen, please convey my thanks to Budding Cultivator Tao on my behalf!"
"It is not courteous to not reciprocate. So ti ago, under the assistance of Ascendant Master Xingyun in Tai Dan Court, I refined a batch of Youth Preserving Pills. Although they are not of much use to us cultivators, they can still express my gratitude."
"Please deliver a couple to her on my behalf."
Steward Chen accepted the Youth Preserving Pill with surprise.
This thing truly isn’t very useful, but female cultivators would definitely like it.
This Dan Chenzi sure knows how to conduct himself!
After he left,
Luo Chen played with the ridian Protection Pill, showing a thoughtful expression.
Did Tao Wen conclude that he needed such pills based on his purchase of Qingdan Valley’s lower-grade ridian Protection Pills?
But those lower-grade ridian Protection Pills were prepared resources for so Qi Refinent Cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed for their Foundation Establishnt.
For him personally, they were not really useful.
Hundred ridians Penetration at Completion Stage is not a joking matter.
At least in the cultivation of this Weak Third Order Spirit Land, he only felt a slight burden. With just a few hours of rest, he could recover as before.
However, the pill indeed was precious.
Second Order Ascendant Grade, exclusive to Budding Cultivators!
"She is thoughtful, after all."
"Nowadays, since Tai Dan Court has stopped inviting over for two months, becoming colder and colder, she, on the other hand, has not changed her forr warmth and beca even more enthusiastic."
"This woman is indeed worth befriending!"
Luo Chen was very clear about his relationships with friends, enemies, partners, and acquaintances.
He and Tao Yi Sheng could be considered friends—even if not intimate, they could talk freely and selflessly.
But he and Tao Wen had been entwined by interests from the start.
Now that their collaboration had actually ended,
She instead gave him a Weak Third Order Spirit Land and ridian Protection Pills, leaving Luo Chen deeply moved.
The image of Tao Wen’s initially proud deanor in his mind was gradually blurring,
Replaced by a deeper impression of her, months ago within the white clouds at Qingyun Peak, saying with a charming smile: "Let Wen Wen offer you so local hospitality."
"On the path of cultivation, one faces unending wind and frost, swords and blades. Yet there are the likes of Wang Yuan and Tao Wen to accompany one on either side; such is The Great Dao Path, never lonely."
Luo Chen smiled softly and tucked the ridian Protection Pill into his pouch.
...
Half a year later!
A Glint shot out from Qingyun, traversed Yuanhua Mountain, and landed on Xiao Nanshan.
After pausing briefly, it left without a trace, heading towards Tian Lan Immortal City.
On Xiao Nanshan.
Frost and snow covered everything, all was withered, yet many rare and exquisite Spirit Chrysanthemums still blood resplendently.
Tao Yi Sheng watched the gradually fading Glint and a wistful expression crossed his face.
"If only he could stay for another half year, he could share a glass of celebration with ."
"He cannot stay."
A woman’s indifferent voice ca from behind.
Tao Yi Sheng turned around, "Sister."
Tao Wen approached, her long dress trailing in the snow, surpassing him by a step.
"He is not a disciple of our Qingdan Valley, and having stayed at Budding Cultivator Hall for a year has already attracted criticism."
"Staying any longer would bring harm and no blessings, to both him and ."
"Besides, in Tianlan, he has his friends, his Dao Companion Cultivator, and the enterprise he started and built up from nothing."
Tao Yi Sheng nodded in agreent.
He was well aware of these truths.
After Luo Chen’s guidance in Ink Lotus Garden, combined with his practices, he was gradually sorting out the interpersonal relationships within the Tao Family.
He understood these superficial matters quite clearly.
But still...
"Dao Companion Cultivator?" Tao Yi Sheng exclaid, "How co I’ve never heard that Luo Chen has a Dao Companion Cultivator? Who is she? I’ve never seen him hold a Dao Companion Cultivator Ceremony?"
"The President of the Luo Tian Creed, Sima Huiniang. Although not in na, they are as good as Dao Companion Cultivators to each other in practice," said Tao Wen calmly.
"It’s her!"
Tao Yi Sheng finally understood.
No wonder Luo Chen previously went to great lengths to hold a Foundation Establishnt Ceremony for a female cultivator who had just entered Foundation Establishnt.
