Since Li Chen was no longer involved, he naturally took Bai Shi and hurried back to Ciran City at the first opportunity.
Moreover, for Li Chen, if it weren’t for the requests of several Supre Treasures, he wouldn’t have ddled in these muddy waters at all.
Li Chen and Bai Shi returned to Ciran City, but because they didn’t want to alert too many people, they disguised themselves and entered the city.
"You’re back?!"
When Li Chen and Bai Shi silently entered the residence arranged by the City Lord of Ciran City, a group of people looked at Li Chen with surprise and delight.
Seeing familiar faces appear, a rare smile appeared on Li Chen’s face, and he nodded, "I’m back."
But then, seemingly thinking of sothing, the smile on Li Chen’s face beca a bit forced.
Bai Haoyue seed to notice sothing, and after gesturing to the people around, the group who had ascended from the Main World gradually left, leaving only a few of the closest people by his side.
"What happened?" Bai Haoyue asked, his face sowhat serious as he looked at Li Chen.
Hearing Bai Haoyue’s words, An Qin and the others also frowned slightly and ca over to Li Chen’s side. From his expression, they could tell that Li Chen was in a bad mood.
"Indeed, so things have happened," Li Chen thought of the Daolan Heavenly King’s words and shook his head slightly, "I probably can’t show up casually for a short while."
"Leaving again?" Wang Qianqian’s face showed a bit of reluctance; they had just reunited, hadn’t they?
"Not necessarily," Li Chen shook his head, "I just need to find a secluded place to hide. If all goes well, it seems that top-level powerhouses from the entire Heaven Realm will be after ."
Li Chen didn’t ntion the matter of the Supre Treasure; their cultivation was still too low, and telling them might not be beneficial to them.
Nearby, several girls tightly held onto Li Chen’s arm, as if afraid he might suddenly disappear again, looking sowhat nervous.
"Don’t worry," Li Chen shook his head and smiled, "as long as I’m careful not to show up randomly, there shouldn’t be any big issues. Once we beco stronger, we won’t fear anyone anymore."
No one spoke, but Li Chen’s words conveyed his current difficult situation.
"Boss, we probably can’t stay in Ciran City any longer, otherwise, if we wait too long, soone is bound to find this place eventually," Bai Shi suddenly said.
Li Chen looked sowhat surprised at Bai Shi; previously, Bai Shi would never take the initiative in these matters. Most of the ti, Bai Shi acted like a pure enforcer.
Seeing Li Chen’s strange look, Bai Shi grinned, "Don’t look at like that, I’m not stupid, just too lazy to think. Besides, I feel like I’m not far from the Sixth Rank, and new inheritance mories are starting to awaken."
"You’re about to advance?" A look of surprise appeared on Li Chen’s face. As his top combat power, the stronger Bai Shi was, the better for him.
"Not yet, but it shouldn’t be long now," Bai Shi replied.
Li Chen looked at the people around and hesitated before saying, "Let check to see if there’s a suitable cultivation technique for you guys; maybe switching to a Heaven Realm technique will allow you to cultivate faster."
However, after Li Chen’s examination, he found that besides Bai Haoyue, who could change cultivation techniques, the people around him were quirky in their own ways.
His expression at this ti looked just like Zhen Xi’s back then.
In the past, he couldn’t see anything, but now, not only was his cultivation much higher than theirs, but he also had the Eye of the Dao. Naturally, so secrets couldn’t be hidden from his eyes.
Yet the more he looked, the stranger it all seed.
And the strangest one was Zhong Tian.
Zhong Tian’s cultivation technique was of the sa origin as his, but ever since he used Taoist Magic to alter its path, it had beco sothing entirely different. However, upon re-examining Zhong Tian’s cultivation technique, he felt a very peculiar sensation.
It seed that his forr cultivation technique was a bit unconventional, but its explosiveness was even stronger than his current technique!
Strictly speaking, it was a path less traveled!
And within Zhong Tian’s body, there was a mysterious force that seed like the Blood of Heaven he had once possessed, yet it was different because even with his Heavenly King knowledge, he couldn’t identify this power.
But Li Chen could sense that this power wasn’t affecting Zhong Tian negatively. On the contrary, it was a favorable boost.
"Forget it, forget it," after looking through their situations, Li Chen felt a headache. He suddenly realized that despite being a Heavenly King, he seed useless when facing certain situations.
Of course, what he didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one; even Zhen Xi was taken aback for a long ti when she saw this group.
"Boss," at this mont, Bai Shi spoke again, "do you want to check Yue Gouchen’s ring?"
"You took it?" Li Chen was puzzled.
"Yeah," Bai Shi grinned. When Yue Gouchen died, Li Chen was feeling unusual, but Bai Shi wasn’t thinking much of it; he had directly swiped Yue Gouchen’s ring amidst the chaos.
When Li Chen opened Yue Gouchen’s ring, he was also stunned by its contents.
Even though he had guessed that Yue Gouchen, as the Star Lord, was wealthy, he never imagined just how wealthy he was.
Although he, a dignified Fifth Rank Heavenly Pill Master, had amassed wealth in the Silver Do Realm, compared to Yue Gouchen, he seed like a beggar.
With the things on Li Chen, other than a few supre treasures and items that couldn’t be sold, everything else together was probably less than one percent of what Yue Gouchen had!
"Hiss—"
Li Chen took a deep breath, then imdiately called a few people to start cultivating, while he himself found a room and went into closed-door cultivation.
What does one do during closed-door cultivation?
One is to heal injuries, and the other is to refine pills!
The spiritual dicine he had was sowhat insufficient, but after seeing Yue Gouchen’s ring, Li Chen knew that he didn’t have to worry about the spiritual dicine needed to advance to a Sixth Grade Heavenly Pill Master.
Not to ntion Sixth Grade, the items in a Star Lord’s ring would be enough to advance him by another two ranks!
"Past-Dust mories Pill... Past-Dust mories Pill..." Hiding in the room, Li Chen muttered to himself.
Afterward, Li Chen began his closed-door cultivation for three consecutive days.
During this ti, strange rumbling noises occasionally ca from the house, even blowing several large holes in the roof.
Three days later, Li Chen appeared before everyone again, in a tattered state. Although his face was like black charcoal, full of dust, Li Chen’s eyes had beco sparkling and bright.
Sixth Grade Heavenly Pill Master!
In these three days, he not only completed his advancent but also refined a large number of pills.
Given his alchemy technique, any one of these pills could sell for a considerable price, not to ntion he had produced a whole bunch!
"It’s almost ti to set off." Li Chen looked at the sky, with a firm look in his eyes.
Perhaps if he went into closed-door cultivation again for a while, just a year or two would suffice, he might be able to directly refine the Past-Dust mories Pill.
But he couldn’t wait that long.
"Great Grandfather." Li Chen called over Bai Haoyue and his closest ones, leaving each of them a ring.
"Inside are so cultivation resources and pills, definitely enough for you to cultivate to Heavenly King level." Li Chen explained the concept of Kingly Level, then seriously said: "Don’t be too eager to break through your cultivation. In the realm beyond, actual combat power is the key."
"Boss, what’s this..." Ning Wangyang looked at Li Chen, hesitating.
"It’s nothing." Li Chen shook his head: "It’s just that I feel like, even though I’ve been in the Heaven Realm for years, I haven’t been able to take care of you all, which I feel quite sorry for."
Bai Haoyue glared and slapped Li Chen’s head: "Old man like needs your care?"
Even though he was countless tis stronger than Bai Haoyue now, Li Chen imdiately admitted defeat when Bai Haoyue glared.
"We’re all family, family after all." Li Chen said with an awkward chuckle.
Everyone tried to hold back laughter, Li Chen was so valiant when facing those strong ones! Even when facing the greatest difficulties, he remained unfazed, but only in front of his own family does he show such an expression.
The few who originally felt increasingly distant from Li Chen found an inexplicable relief in their hearts.
"This one." After thinking for a mont, Li Chen pulled out another ring: "Consider it helping others, since we’re all from the sa place."
Scratching his head, Li Chen said: "Of course, they’re not part of our family, just give them a little bit of help, they’ll have to find cultivation resources by themselves in the future, we’re not running a charity. Oh, right, Great Grandfather, it’s okay to take more care of True Person Zhang, Prison Star seniors and the others, they’re old acquaintances after all."
Upon hearing this, Bai Haoyue frowned: "You brat, tell , what are you up to again?"
"You guessed it, you’re indeed Great Grandfather!" Li Chen hurriedly complinted.
"Actually, it’s nothing, this ti, I’m going to bring Lin Yi back, if there’s no accident, I’ll be back soon." Li Chen said.
"What?" Hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone was taken aback.
Lin Xiaoxiao exclaid joyfully: "You found my sister?"
"Several years ago." Li Chen nodded: "Back then, I was too weak, she was in a decent sect, I didn’t have the strength or ability to take care of her, so I let her stay there."
Li Chen spoke calmly, but upon hearing this, everyone felt a strange pang of heartache.
They weren’t newly arrived in the Heaven Realm and knew what kind of place it was.
Compared to them, when Li Chen first ascended, he was all alone, unfamiliar and helpless, even finding Lin Yi, he couldn’t take her away.
The hardships he endured to reach today?
As they looked at Li Chen, although years had passed, his outward appearance seed unchanged, but his eyes had beco much more seasoned with the hardships of ti compared to before.
"Alright, enough of that, I’m going to pick her up first. Once Lin Yi cos back, I’ll find a way to bring everyone else over from the Main World, then we can truly have a family reunion!" Li Chen’s face bead with a joyful smile.
The wish he worked so hard for years to achieve was finally about to co true!
