Chapter 374: A New Power (2/2)

“Faster with the water, everyone move faster!”

At this moment, the villagers were still bringing bucket after bucket toward the fire in an effort to combat it.

Walking forward to stop the villagers, the middle-aged man spoke, “There is no need to be so panicked. Please rest for now. Whether it burns or not, we will have to rebuild it anyways.”

“If you say so uncle Xiu Mi, then we’ll take our time.” The villagers immediately stopped their frantic movements and addressed the man with a respectful greeting.

“Ai, my poor house. It seems that I have to rebuild it once more.” The fatty wailed.

At this, Jian Chen felt extremely embarrassed. In such a careless moment, he had accidentally set the house he was in on fire. This made him feel apologetic.

“I am truly sorry. When I recover, please allow me to help you rebuild.” Jian Chen spoke apologetically.

The fatty’s eyes sparkled on his face as he replied, “Okay then. Don’t you forget it then; when you get better, the two of us will build a house even bigger than the last one.” As soon as he finished speaking, the fatty suddenly looked behind him in surprise, “Grandfather! Jian Chen, look! My grandfather is back!”

Turning around slowly, Jian Chen could only see a hoe wielding elder walking from some distance away. He looked rather ordinary like anyone else around his age. A single piece of straw held his hair together and even his clothes were of ordinary make. Both of his legs and the clothes around them were covered with dirt as if he had spent the entire day working the fields and had just returned home like a farmer would.

“Grandfather, the person father rescued has finally woken up. Let me introduce you, his name is Jian Chen!” The fatty cried out in a hurry to greet his grandfather.

The elder looked at Jian Chen for a moment before turning back to the fatty with a kindly smile, “Little Fatty, why is your house on fire?”

The fatty looked at Jian Chen as well, “Jian Chen had wanted to kill himself in his depression, but everything’s okay now. He has accepted life!”

After hearing such a statement, Jian Chen had nearly fell to the ground in shock. This fatty’s words held nothing back and were based off of his own judgment. It was as if he was still a child, something that was odd compared to his current age.

After he heard the fatty’s words, the elder began to laugh as he walked up to Jian Chen. With a kindly smile, he spoke, “Youngster, those who do not die are bound to come across fortune. Take this Spirit Pill and eat it. It should heal your inner organs to some degree at the very least.” Out of nowhere, the elder took out a pill and gave it to Jian Chen.

Seeing the elder take out another pill, the fatty’s father had a shocked look on his face, “Haha, Jian Chen, this is a Class 8 Spirit Pill – an especially rare treasure. It seems that my father has seen fit to give you two.”

“I thank the elder, but this item is far too precious for me to accept.” Jian Chen spoke respectfully. He knew just how rare and precious Radiant Spirit Pills were since they were made by Radiant Saint Masters by using their own Saint Force. A single pill like this was far more than what Jian Chen could accomplish.

The elder laughed, “This item has little use for me here. It is coincidental than you were in need of it, so take it and recover as soon as you can.”

After some hesitation, Jian Chen submitted and took the pill from the elder. Carefully putting it away safely, he knew that this pill was far too expensive for him to lose.

“Little fatty, go and find a room for Jian Chen to rest in.” After that, the elder threw down his hoe and headed to another house not too far away.

Looking at the retreating back of the elder with a complicated look, Jian Chen didn’t know what to think.

“Jian Chen, let’s go and find you a new room.” The fatty spoke as he walked away.

Soon enough, Jian Chen found himself in another bed. He needed to rest as little fatty had said, so he sat down on the bed and began to sleep.

After a while, Jian Chen managed to calm himself down and tried to control the Radiant Saint Force around him to heal. The Class 8 Spirit Pill was far too precious for him to eat just yet.

Just as Jian Chen began to think, a milky white ball of light began to form around him. Feeling the speed of the Radiant Saint Force gathering, Jian Chen couldn’t help but smile faintly. Perhaps it was because of the mutation to his soul, but he felt that his control over the Radiant Saint Force had grown stronger and stronger. Even after controlling it to such an extent, he didn’t feel strained at all.
