Chapter 419: Chapter 394: The Whereabouts of the Three Grandfathers (Part 2)

Li Chen felt a wave of confusion, but if it was indeed the case, this pill must be incredibly precious.

Third Grandpa had once told him that there was a technique in alchemy that could create patterns on a pill, indicating that the effects of the pill were refined to a very high degree, but this technique had almost been lost, and even Third Grandpa did not know it.

Li Chen looked up at the stone that was still tightly closed. Just now, Great Grandfather’s move was extraordinary, leaving only a small hole in the stone, and the pill had been wrapped in True Qi without any damage. When it reached his own hands, the True Qi had just dissipated.

Furthermore, these stones were now fused into one and were incredibly hard. To break them open without damaging the pill and to precisely control the use of True Qi, it could be said that Great Grandfather’s strength had reached an immensely terrifying realm.

Behind him, Zhong Tian stared dumbfoundedly at the cave. He hadn’t expected that there were still people in this cave, and judging from their appearance, they seemed very formidable.

"Eat it."

Suddenly, an aged voice sounded, although it had become somewhat hoarse from not speaking for a long time as if it carried the endless vicissitudes of time.

Li Chen felt elated and immediately swallowed the silver pill. However, as soon as it entered his mouth, the pill dissolved into a liquid and flowed down Li Chen’s throat into his stomach.

At the same time, an extremely mild energy spread instantly, radiating outwards from Li Chen’s body. As soon as this peculiar energy emerged, Li Chen felt the mysterious energy lurking inside his body becoming uncontrollable, seemingly drawn towards the pill liquid, rushing towards it from all directions.

Li Chen was startled, but before he could react, he found that those energies were enveloped by the pill liquid and then gradually soothed, transforming into True Qi and merging into his body.

This pill could actually absorb mysterious energy?

Li Chen was shocked. What kind of pill was this that could absorb the mysterious energy within his body?

The level of shock he felt was the same as when he had discovered that the fish in the Cold Pool could help absorb mysterious energy, or perhaps even more so than the Cold Pool.

It was not surprising that certain creatures in special environments had this effect due to the wonders of nature, but this pill was refined by people, meaning, if he had this pill, it was only a matter of time before he fully absorbed the mysterious energy!

Inside his body, the once violent mysterious energy was purified in the pill liquid and turned into True Qi. Li Chen sensed that he had absorbed more mysterious energy this time than the last.

This was indeed an unexpected surprise.

"Great Grandfather, what kind of pill is this?" Li Chen asked excitedly.

"This object, I do not know either. It was also found by chance in a relic last time. This one is the last one," the voice inside the cave said, unhurried, as if it had witnessed the transformation of the Vast Sea; there was a calmness amidst its disposition.

"Third analyzed the composition and knew this object could absorb the energy in your body, so he went around asking until he received news of a relic opening," the voice in the cave still echoed uncertainly, as if Great Grandfather’s soft voice could spread in the Eight Directions.

"Moreover, this relic is not far from the one where we obtained this item last time," Great Grandfather said, then fell silent again.

Not far from the last relic, that means, was there a good chance of finding more of these pills within the relic?

Li Chen was delighted but then felt moved. The three grandpas had ventured into the relic just for his sake. He had some understanding of these relics; each was as treacherous as the Mayan Ruins.

It was difficult to enter, even harder to exit. The chances of coming out alive were scant.

And the three grandpas were willing to risk the dangers of the relic just so he could potentially absorb the mysterious energy. How could he not be moved?

"Great Grandfather, is the relic dangerous?" Li Chen asked again.

After asking, however, everything went quiet, as if the cave had reverted to its former state.

"Great Grandfather?" Li Chen called out once more, and the aged voice appeared again: "What lies ahead is for fate to decide, go back."

Ah?

Li Chen’s eyes widened. What, what does this mean exactly?

Is there danger or not?

Li Chen originally wanted to ask more, but he knew that Great Grandfather wouldn’t say anything more, so he could only feel dejected as he descended the mountain.

"Elder martial brother, it’s okay, our masters have always been lucky, I know that," Zhong Tian said in his deep and resonant voice from behind. "My mom told me when I was a child that our masters have the fortune-teller’s faces, that’s why she let me follow them."

Li Chen burst into laughter, turned around, and said, "So, your mom can read fortunes too?"

"Uh," Zhong Tian scratched his head," I’m not quite sure, it seems she can a little bit, but of course, she can’t compare to Master."

Fourth Grandfather specialized in researching the Yin-Yang Five Elements Eight Trigrams, and in the aspect of divination, he was considered a miraculous talent, basically able to avoid disasters and bring safety.

Li Chen nodded, looked at the empty house, and felt somewhat uncomfortable. The great grandfathers used to live there, and with it now empty, it always felt like something was missing.

...

The next day, Li Chen, accompanied by Zhong Tian, rushed from Jingyang County to Linchuan.

By the time they returned, it was already evening, which sort of made Li Chen feel down. It would have been better if the two places were connected by rail.

Back at the villa, he discovered that Lin Yi was cooking in the kitchen.

Li Chen’s heart leaped with joy, then he said to Zhong Tian, "A Tian, you go back first."

He needed to do some adult-only activities next; how could Zhong Tian not excuse himself?

"Oh," Zhong Tian responded, but then opened his mouth, looking puzzled, "Then what about my dinner later?"

"I’ll come over and call you later," Li Chen said.

Zhong Tian obediently went back to his place, which was nearby. Aunt Wang had rented a room for him, which was big and convenient.

Meanwhile, Li Chen tiptoed over, but before he got close, Lin Yi chided coquettishly, "Stop messing around, I’m working on a new dish."

Li Chen retracted his hand sheepishly, laughing hehe, "Baby, how did you know I was behind you?"

"I can smell you from a mile away," she replied.

Li Chen felt depressed. Do I really have a smell?

In fact, if you live together day and night, even without seeing the person, just hearing their footsteps or sensing their scent can let you identify them.

"Stop it, I haven’t finished yet." Lin Yi slapped away Li Chen’s hand, which was trying to reach for the dishes.

Li Chen chuckled, "How come you got off work so early?"

"Because the company just completed a big contract, so I declared that several departments could take some time off, and I took the opportunity to rest as well," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Moreover, we’re organizing a trip, and it’s to a primitive forest."
