Chapter 273: A Parting Without a Promise of Reunion
Chapter 273: A Parting Without a Promise of Reunion
After Jin Yue left, Su Chen also turned around and returned to the courtyard.
"Come out, the flower garden is dirty, and there's a wall in between. Can you hear me clearly?"
Hearing Su Chen's words, the little sister pouted and walked out, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.
"How did you know I was hiding in the flower garden? I thought I was hiding really well."
"If your brother couldn't even find you, wouldn't he have been eaten by the demons on the frontline long ago?"
The little sister pouted, letting out a soft 'oh'.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned to look at Su Chen.
"Brother, actually, Jin Yue..."
Over these past few months, the little sister had grown quite fond of Jin Yue, and they got along well.
She probably felt that Jin Yue hadn't made things clear enough, and she wanted to help clarify the situation.
But before she could finish her sentence, Su Chen shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to continue.
Between adults, some things didn't need to be spoken aloud.
Tone and attitude were enough to convey the message.
"Go back, it's getting late."
Seeing that the little sister still had more to say, Su Chen reached out and pulled her close, leading her back to the inner courtyard.
It was better to maintain the relationship of senior and junior disciples between himself and Jin Yue.
There were some things that the little sister would understand when she grew a few years older.
As night fell, Su Chen sat on his bed, continuing to solidify his cultivation strength.
After the Ascending Cloud Platform trial, he could sense a significant improvement in his Mind Realm.
In the Sixth Stage Mountain Furnace Realm, the body endured the roasting of the furnace fire, which always affected the Mind Realm.
Martial practitioners who were heavily influenced by this might even regress from the Sixth Stage back to the Seventh Stage.
But after walking through the Ascending Cloud Platform, Su Chen seemed to have become more at ease with these influences.
He could withstand the continuous attacks of those illusionary demons, and he was even less afraid of their other abilities.
Su Chen was certain that his current state was already approaching the Sixth Stage Middle Rank.
Many people would take years to achieve such progress, but he had gained this advancement in less than a year.
This was due to his own innate potential, but it wasn't solely reliant on that.
Su Chen was well aware of this.
In just over a year, he had achieved such a significant improvement.
Firstly, the Profound Heavens Heart Decision, this top-tier cultivation technique, had provided him with immense assistance.
Secondly, the Indomitable Destiny had brought him great benefits, enhancing his physical recovery speed and resilience.
Originally, other cultivators might need to rest for four to five hours after a day of cultivation.
But with the activation of Indomitable Destiny, he could achieve the same effect in just two hours.
Moreover, his recovery condition might even be better than others.
This way, he had more cultivation time and more vigorous cultivation energy.
His rapid progress this year was not without reason.
His next step should focus on how to advance further within the Sixth Stage.
Upon reaching the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, his strength would match that of Liu Xing Wan and Gu Feng.
But advancing to the next realm wouldn't be that easy.
Talent, experience, and resources were all essential.
Lacking any one of these would make advancement difficult.
To enter the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, he had sufficient talent and experience, but he still needed the assistance of resources.
Otherwise, he would have to make up for the lack of resources with several times more talent and experience.
With this in mind, Su Chen flipped through the Jade Stone Alchemy Technique.
This was the only secret manual related to alchemy pills that he had. Alchemy pills were already precious.
It would be difficult to obtain another one.
But he couldn't be sure of the nature of the pills refined according to the manual.
One couldn't possibly refine an alchemy pill and then immediately consume it.
Su Chen wasn't willing to take such a risk by testing the pill on himself just yet.
At the very least, he currently didn't have a deep understanding of the Jade Stone Alchemy Pill.
Blindly testing the pill could lead to many unforeseen consequences.
Su Chen wasn't entirely without confidence in the Jade Stone Alchemy Technique.
After all, the Ensnaring Serpent Technique was also obtained from that secret realm.
The Ensnaring Serpent Technique's movements and techniques were all incredibly profound, and Su Chen believed that the Jade Stone Alchemy Technique wouldn't be any less impressive.
However, for now, it was better to double-check.
After a night's rest, Su Chen prepared to visit the frontline defense line.
He wanted to take a look at the current defensive line of Celestial Capital.
Yesterday, Shang Xuan True Person mentioned that the defense line wasn't entirely secure.
Now that his family was living in Celestial Capital, Su Chen naturally paid more attention to the safety of the frontline defense.
Su Chen hoped to ensure the absolute safety of his mother and little sister.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Chen headed towards the frontline defense.
Before even leaving Celestial Capital, he was stopped by a robust man.
"I'm Jin Chao, Jin Yue's brother."
"Let's talk."
Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly but accepted his invitation.
They sat down in a nearby teahouse and ordered a cup of tea.
"My sister came to see you last night."
"Rest assured, Jin brother, it was just to say goodbye, nothing else."
Jin Chao nodded, and his expression didn't show much reproach.
"I, as her brother, am aware of the situation between you and my sister.
After my father's conversation with you, you have indeed kept your distance from my sister.
Most of the time, it's my sister who takes the initiative to come and talk to you.
I'm a man who seeks the truth, and the truth is what it is.
My sister can be very persistent, and it's hard to correct some of her ideas.
Perhaps she will come to find you again, and I hope you can avoid her and not meet with her again.
The paths you two are on are completely different, and normally, there won't be much interaction in the future."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen readily agreed and didn't argue with Jin Chao.
"Also, the alchemy pills my sister asked you for were probably meant to have more conversations with you in the future.
The pills you gave her, I've seen them before.
Their medicinal properties are strange, but they don't have much use and aren't suitable for martial practitioners."
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but ask further.
"Is this the judgment of the Jin family elders?"
"My family elders don't have the time for this. It's the result of my careful examination.
Throughout the world, I've never seen a family refine such a pill.
It might even be a waste of resources."
However, if Jin Chao had examined them, Su Chen didn't fully believe it.
It was possible that Jin Chao's foundation in alchemy wasn't sufficient, and his understanding of pills wasn't thorough enough.
The two of them didn't have much in common to talk about.
Jin Chao came today to remind Su Chen once again.
"Last night, you two said you'd meet again.
As Jin Yue's brother, I hope you two will never meet again.
Don't meet from now on.
There will be someone more suitable for her among the younger generation."
Su Chen nodded.
As he prepared to leave, Jin Chao took out three bottles of pills and handed them to Su Chen.
"After all, you did save my sister's life. Consider this as another token of gratitude.
If you need alchemy pills in the future and require the Jin family's assistance, please come to me, not my sister.
Between the two of you, last night should be the last time you meet."
