Chapter 330: Preparations to Head to Jin Country
Chapter 330: Preparations to Head to Jin Country
When Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu mentioned the Sand Treasure Ground, they exchanged a glance.
There were things they wanted to say, but in the end, they held back.
In truth, the Treasure Ground itself wasn't an issue, but the attitude of the reception at Heavenly Wind Valley wasn't the best.
Those who had been to the Treasure Ground probably had a lot to complain about when they returned.
The two didn't want to dampen Su Chen's enthusiasm, as the Treasure Ground was indeed worth visiting.
After the gathering, the remaining time was relaxed and carefree.
During these days, Su Chen spent his time at home with his mother and younger sister.
Occasionally, he would visit the sect and discuss various matters with Zhenren Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang.
This included some situations on the frontlines and other topics.
For the rest of the time, Su Chen started teaching his younger sister how to use some mechanisms at home.
Su Chen also considered letting his sister try cultivation or learn alchemy.
If she could gain some improvement, it wouldn't be too powerful, but at least it would strengthen her body and prolong her lifespan.
He didn't even expect his sister to reach a high level of cultivation; just a basic understanding would be good enough.
But after learning a tiny bit, his sister couldn't endure it anymore.
Before reaching the Seventh Stage, the primary focus of cultivation was tempering one's physique.
His sister couldn't bear the pain, and even though she was fine, she was already crying out in pain.
Su Chen finally found the most straightforward and easiest cultivation technique for his sister to read.
Let her cultivate as much as she could.
When cultivation didn't work out, Su Chen shifted his approach and had his sister look into demon refining and mechanisms.
However, she still fell short in these two areas.
In the end, Su Chen set his sights on teaching her how to use mechanisms.
Even if she couldn't learn to create mechanisms, she could at least learn to use them.
Learning how to use mechanism hidden weapons would give her some self-defense skills.
In Celestial Capital, Su Chen wasn't worried about the safety of his mother and sister.
Here, the sect was there to protect them.
Along the streets of the city, sect members were always on patrol.
But Su Chen still hoped his sister would learn more, at least giving her the ability to protect herself.
In case they encountered some strange troubles, they would be able to handle them initially.
The Nine Bend Mechanism Art included many mechanisms that required skillful operation.
Especially for those leaning towards hidden weapons, the users needed exceptional skills.
Seizing this opportunity, Su Chen started spending time teaching his sister some clever techniques.
These were the fastest and easiest ways to enhance her self-defense capabilities.
The mechanism art Su Chen had learned, though not yet perfected, was still considered relatively proficient.
In terms of mechanism power, there was indeed a gap.
But in terms of effect, there were no issues.
If Su Chen could further enhance his mechanism art, the mechanisms he created might be able to injure Sixth Stage Warriors and even harm ordinary demons without problems.
Currently, in his research on mechanism art, Su Chen had indeed reached a bottleneck.
At most, he could only pose a threat to Sixth Stage Warriors.
The difficulty lay in how to increase the power of the mechanisms.
After all, being made from materials like wood and metal, the achievable power level was indeed limited.
Recalling his initial encounter with that area, just standing within its range, he could feel a stifling suppression.
But this method, Su Chen searched through the Nine Bend Mechanism Art, and it seemed he couldn't find it there either.
However, for his sister, the mechanisms she could use now were already sufficient for self-defense.
After learning for just two or three days, his sister was already complaining of exhaustion.
Su Chen refused to let her give up halfway, and it was not easy for her to find something she could master.
Su Chen recalled a conversation he heard in the past.
Some people are very capable of enduring hardship, carrying heavy loads, and staying up all night to fight. They can all bear it.
But they can only endure this kind of hardship.
To make them learn something, to think of solutions, this kind of hardship is unbearable.
As night fell, Mother had already prepared the meal, and Su Chen and his younger sister ate together.
The attendants in the courtyard should all feel relaxed.
Except for Su Chen's courtyard, there should be no attendants from other families who could be this relaxed.
The family sat in the courtyard, eating their evening meal.
The younger sister seemed truly tired, even showing a listless appearance while eating.
She first drank a bowl of soup, which restored some of her energy.
This soup unexpectedly had some miraculous effects.
The younger sister, slightly regaining her senses, also started to chat with Su Chen.
"Brother, you and Jin Jiejie, how come your relationship seems so much worse now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at his younger sister.
"Did Jin Shimie ask you to come and ask?"
The younger sister shook her head. "It's my own question. I feel that Jin Shimie doesn't talk much in front of you now."
Previously, Jin Shimie and you were quite close.
"Did Jin Shimie offend you in some way?"
Seeing the younger sister's hair falling onto the food before her, Su Chen gently helped her lift it.
"I don't hold any grudges against Jin Shimie. I'm just more annoyed with the Jin Family.
Toadying to power is normal."
As a massive alchemy family, they look down on us."
But they shouldn't have sent people to scold and insult you and Mother."
Hearing this, the younger sister waved her hands.
"I don't mind these things, brother, please don't hate Jin Shimie because of this."
Moreover, these are all things arranged by the Jin Family, not Jin Shimie."
The younger sister kept speaking up for Jin Yue. She really wanted to get something from this good sister.
A smile hung on Su Chen's face as he looked at his younger sister.
"Just say it, you're trying to beat around the bush, hoping I'll do something?"
Caught off guard by Su Chen's insight, the younger sister unconsciously stuck out her tongue.
"I don't have other thoughts either. I just want you and Jin Shimie to be able to restore your relationship to how it was before."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen also thought carefully.
Su Chen probably guessed that the Jin Family must have discovered the secret of the Jade Pill.
That's why their attitude changed so suddenly.
When he went out for training, he heard that the Jin Family's Patriarch had come too.
Facing Su Chen, Jin Yue felt embarrassed, probably because of this reason.
She had a request for him, but she couldn't bring herself to ask, unable to save face.
Even in front of the younger sister, she didn't bring up her request.
"The main issue is with Jin Shimie."
Once she figures it out clearly, these problems will naturally be resolved."
Seeing that Su Chen didn't want to continue the conversation, the younger sister didn't bring it up again.
It can only be said that the person the Jin Family sent to return the pill did make Su Chen angry.
For Su Chen, the days of guiding his younger sister at home were a time to rest.
Today was already the 27th, and it was about time to go to Zhenren Shang Xuan. There were some matters, and the Elders still had things to entrust to him.
