Chapter 1115: Chapter 614 Joyful Times Chapter 1115: Chapter 614 Joyful Times âThe elixirâs effectiveness is fine, but the toxicity is too high.â
After Qing Nu made her assessment, Chen Mobai nodded with relief.
âThen, after I return to Yu Wood City, Iâll deal with this elixir.â
Qing Nu, thinking he meant to destroy it, nodded and handed the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir back to Chen Mobai.
âTake these eight pearls; they can be useful when youâre forming your core.â
After taking the elixir, Chen Mobai handed over a tray of lustrous, smooth pearls to Qing Nu, who looked shocked.
âThese are too precious, I canât accept them!â
Even though Qing Nu was well-versed in the Sky-Mending Group, pearls worth eight hundred million Good Deed Points felt as heavy as mountains to her, and she shook her hands in refusal.
âIf I give it to you, just take it. We donât need to be so formal with each other.â
Seeing her shake her hands and step back, Chen Mobai immediately picked up the tray of pearls from the table and offered them to her.
Qing Nu instinctively wanted to dodge, but Chen Mobai caught her hand, and she, already drenched in sweat, immediately felt weak all over.
She let Chen Mobai stuff the tray of pearls into her hands.
âThese pearls are the crystallization of Water Spirit Qi. If I were to use them, Iâd have to go through a transformation process, which would be wasteful. You holding onto them will bring out their full potential.â
Upon hearing Chen Mobaiâs words, Qing Nu blushed as she looked at the eight large pearls cradled in her hands, sweetness welling up in her eyes like never before.
This was a gift of eight hundred million Good Deed Points, and he had offered it to her without a second thought!
Who could resist such a gesture? Qing Nuâs mind raced with wild thoughts, even imagining post-marriage life and raising children together.
At that moment, Chen Mobaiâs phone rang, and after a glance, he sent a message in reply.
Qing Nu, âWhat is it, something important?â
Chen Mobai, âYes, Commissioner Wang Shuye heard Iâve come to Wangwu Cave Heaven and has invited me to dinner tonight.â
Qing Nu, âThen you should go ahead, I wonât keep you.â
Chen Mobai hesitated, then shook his head without getting up to leave.
âItâs still early for evening, and we havenât seen each other in a long time. Since itâs a rare opportunity, I want to spend more time with you.â
Chen Mobai didnât have many friends in the Immortal Gate, and Qing Nu was one of the few he truly trusted and confided in. A reunion after ten years wouldnât do justice if they parted ways after just a morning together.
Qing Nu felt even sweeter inside upon hearing his words.
She raised her hand and cast a Cleaning Technique to tidy her sweat-soaked clothes and stockings, then straightened the edge of her skirt and sat down with a smile on her face.
However, watching this, Chen Mobai couldnât help but feel slightly disappointed.
Qing Nu, previously looking stunning with her clothing clinging to her figure, now only her stockings traced the shape of her legs, slightly diminishing her allure.
But she still looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Chen Mobai appreciated beauty, whether in people or objects.
So, whenever he interacted with Qing Nu, Yan Bingxuan, and others, he always felt very comfortable, as if his heart and mind were relaxed.
But mere physical beauty wasnât enough to intoxicate and delight him; a spiritual connection was even more crucial.
He and Qing Nu had grown together from obscurity, becoming people who understood each other the most within the Immortal Gate.
Ten years of separation hadnât made them feel estranged.
Soon, they moved from reminiscing about Red Sandstone City to discussing their own experiences in work and cultivation life.
Chen Mobaiâs life was rather monotonous, as he couldnât speak of matters regarding Tianhe Realm. His experiences at the Immortal Gate consisted of cultivation, making appearances at Qing Sang Academy, more cultivation, and reviewing Yu Wood City departmentsâ budgets at yearâs end.
According to him, ninety-nine percent of his time was spent in cultivation.
âOnly someone like you could endure the loneliness of prolonged cultivation. If I had your self-discipline and determination, maybe I would have reached Foundation Establishment Completion five years earlier,â Qing Nu said, reflecting on her own simple experiences of living in an apartment arranged by the Sky-Mending Group and conducting various biological and medicinal research experiments for the group.
Many experiments were confidential, but Chen Mobai, as a member of Kaiyuan Hall, had the duty to supervise the entire Immortal Gate and theoretically could be privy to some matters.
So Qing Nu picked out experiments that Chen Mobai would find interesting, without causing any confidentiality issues.
As they talked, Chen Mobai began asking about Alchemy.
With a basic understanding of Artifact Refining, his current foray into the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal was Alchemy.
Thanks to the exceptional resources from the Eastern Wilderness and the almost inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Extracts, he had managed to refine the simplest Rank-1 Elixirs.
He had tried his hand at Rank-2 twice but failed both times.
This was a good opportunity to seek professional advice from Qing Nu, an expert in the field.
For Chen Mobai, Qing Nu was more than willing to share all she knew.
As they continued to chat, the day passed without them noticing.
When it was time to part, both felt reluctant.
Chen Mobai sighed at the too-short learning opportunity, while Qing Nu longed for more time together like this.
In the evening, Chen Mobai and Wang Shuye also had a great time talking.
Wang Shuye, âThe Immortal Gate has prepared all materials needed for refining the Infant-Feeding Elixir, just waiting for the Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit from the Daoist Academy to ripen.â
