Afterward, Chen Fan rented a house and settled in with his companions. Although Mr. s.h.i.+ was not worried that Chen Fan would run away by himself after he had obtained the Spirit Medicine, Miss Zheng had a.s.signed bodyguards standing guard outside of Chen Fan’s house, monitoring his every move.

Chen Fan didn’t mind the surveillance. As soon as he got the Essence of Thousand Pinewood, he started to brew an elixir called the Essence Gathering Pill.

Like the Essence Enhancing Pill, The Essence Gathering Pill was one of the most common pills used by cultivators to enhancing their Qi.

Without reaching the Connate Spirit level, Chen Fan would still have to rely on earthly food for survival. The earthly elements in the day to day food posed a hindrance to his progress of cultivation.

Therefore, instead of feeding on earthly food, most cultivation sects used the Spirit Pills and Spirit Dew to supplement their diet. These pills and elixirs could provide not only daily sustenance but also improve their cultivation.

After consuming one Spirit Pill, one would not need to eat anything, other than drinking water for ten days. In addition, these pills could also quickly replenish the cultivator’s body and balance the elements in the system after an exhaustive battle.

Thanks to the abundant supply of herbs in the Jiu Ding City, Chen Fan had finished creating the pills very quickly.

He was able to create over a hundred Essence Gathering Pill using the Essence of Thousand Pinewood. It should be enough to last for two years.

“With these Essence Gathering Pills, I have more confidence in reaching the fifth stage of the Void Mortal Refinement Art.” Chen Fan was very satisfied with the outcome.

He was convinced that with the aid of the Essence Gathering Pills, he would be able to materialize plans that were previously impossible.

Time flew by, and in the last seven days, Chen Fan did not leave his house as he was focusing on creating the elixirs.

On the seventh night, Chen Fan had finally finished his work.

He walked out of his room for the first time in a week and sat in a patio chair in the backyard. He made himself a cup of tea and started drinking.

He had used the leftover elixir in the tea, and therefore the fragrance of the tea was strong and wholesome. Master Wu stood behind Chen Fan while gawking at the cup of tea.

As a beginner in cultivation and being deprived of Qi, the cup contained more Qi than Master Wu could ever imagine.

Master Wu would have to work years in order to harness just a fraction of the Qi in the cup, yet Chen Fan wasted all that leftover elixir in making this cup of tea as if they were useless sc.r.a.ps.

“A’Xiu, come out, stopping hiding.” Chen Fan said lightly.

From behind the back door of the house, a small figure emerged.

A’Xiu plodded toward Chen Fan. She gave Chen Fan a guilty look and then lowered her head in silence.

“We are about to go on a dangerous trip. You have heard from Master Wu yourself that there is a snake demon living under the pond and the demon was capable of injuring Master Wu’s master. I suggest you go home and not to come with us. I can not guarantee your safety.

“I will make arrangements when I am back so that you can either work in Xu Ao’s office or go to University in the city. It’s up to you.

“I want you to live a happy life, find someone you love and make a family in the city. That is your dream, isn’t it?”

“No!”

A’Xiu’s eyes lit up with indignation after hearing Chen Fan’s words.

She looked up and at Chen Fan, softened her face a little and pleaded.

“I have missed one chance; I don’t want to make the same mistake again. Don’t send me away, please.”

She sneaked a glance at Chen Fan’s face; however, she saw nothing but indifference.

Suddenly, A’Xiu felt a chill down her spine.

She felt that the person in front of her was no longer the caring and loving Brother Chen, but someone, or something that was beyond human’s sentiments and emotions.

For the first time, she was scared.

Then, out of nowhere, she heard Chen Fan’s voice coming down at her from above.

“I know what you are thinking, you have been warned, the journey you are about to embark on will be tortuous. Without a heart of gold and a will of iron, you will never reach enlightenment.

“And remember this: “Dao never comes easily.”

Chen Fan spoke the last few words with every ounce of the seriousness of a Celestial Lord, and he pressed them into the young girl’s mind.

“Dao never comes easily?” A’Xiu repeated after Chen Fan. She knew that Chen Fan had already seen through her mind.

She was more than just fascinated after seeing Chen Fan’s incredible power at the tournament; she wanted it for herself. If she had thatpower, she would no longer be dependent on other people like she always had been.

“Excellent.”

Chen Fan sat under the moonlight; his skin reflected the cold moonlight as he peered into the mind of the girl with a pair of deep and thoughtful eyes.

“In addition to resolution, you also need a bit of luck to become a competent cultivator.

“If anyone anywhere is able to access the power of Dao, the world would have already fallen into disarray and chaos. Just ask Master Wu.”
