Chapter 63: Kunlun Saint Child Jiang Bufan, Trouble Approaches
Hearing this complaint, a woman walked out from behind.
“Elder Brother Changsheng, your temper is a bit strange; when you’re upset, you have no one to be with you.”
“When you’re in a good mood, you’re still complaining. Do you want to be in a good mood or not?”
In response to A-Man’s words, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said, “I don’t hope for the mood in this coffin shop to be too good or too bad.”
“d*ath is a part of the Heavenly Path’s cycle; too many deaths can cause problems, and too few deaths can also create issues.”
“In short, we need to maintain an appropriate balance.”
“By the way, where has that kid A-Li run off to?”
Upon hearing this, A-Man placed the food in her hands on the table and said, “He’s probably gone to look for the Spiritual Source with people from the Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“Before we arrived here forty days ago, you made him stay in the shop for a full twenty days.”
“Twenty days ago, when you let him go, he naturally wanted to let loose.”
Listening to A-Man’s report, Chen Changsheng leisurely ate the delicious food.
“Keeping him here for twenty days was to help him get familiar with the environment and to train well, at least to have some self-defense ability.”
“With self-defense capability, I will naturally let him go out.”
“Also, you should tidy up recently; it’s time for us to leave this place.”
“I have a feeling that things are not going to be peaceful here very soon.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man was taken aback and asked, “What about A-Li? He probably won’t be back in a short time?”
“That’s why we should leave while he’s not back!”
“A-Li’s dream is this vast world, not my little coffin shop.”
“Staying beside me will only limit his growth.”
“Once he leaves me, his achievements will be even greater.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s response, A-Man smiled slightly and said, “Elder Brother Changsheng, I will always support your decisions. I’ll tidy up now.”
“Hey!”
“Take it slow; I’m not leaving right now. Come sit down and eat.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man smiled and then sat down to have dinner with Chen Changsheng.
The two had a calm and familiar interaction; they had experienced this kind of life for forty days.
A-Man enjoyed this peaceful companionship; for her, having such company was enough.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“From the Kunlun Sacred Ground, Jiang Bufan seeks an audience!”
Hearing that the Saint Child of the Kunlun Sacred Ground sought an audience, A-Man immediately stood up.
However, Chen Changsheng stopped A-Man from acting.
“Don’t acknowledge him; he’s just trouble.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man glanced at the young man outside and eventually sat back down obediently.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng was ignoring him, Jiang Bufan didn’t get angry but quietly stood outside the door.
Time passed slowly. A-Man cleared away the bowls and chopsticks from the table, while Chen Changsheng lay on a rocking chair, flipping through an ancient book.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, “Come in.”
“With you, the prospective Saint Child of the Kunlun Sacred Ground, standing at the door, how can I continue my mood?”
Hearing this, Jiang Bufan immediately bowed and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
“I, Bufan, have come to ask for a favor; I wish to request that the Senior…”
“Stop!”
Before Jiang Bufan could finish his words, Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop him.
A warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf!
“Just because I let you in doesn’t mean I agree to help you. The reason I called you in was to let you convey a message to A-Li.”
“Tell him that no banquet in the world lasts forever, and the road ahead must rely on him.”
“Furthermore, I have limited abilities and can’t assist the Kunlun Sacred Ground with anything. You should find someone better.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s rejection, Jiang Bufan smiled slightly and said, “Sir is too modest; your abilities are unmatched. If you’re unable to do something, then it seems no one else can.”
“I’ve heard that you want to borrow the Kunlun Sacred Ground’s Super Teleportation Array.”
“As long as you’re willing to take action, I’m ready to persuade the Sacred Ground to lend you the Super Teleportation Array.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“It seems you’ve done quite a bit of research on me!”
“Hahaha!”
“If you want to invite me to help, you must present a commensurate price.”
“However, I wonder if the price will satisfy you?”
Seeing Jiang Bufan’s confident demeanor, Chen Changsheng said coldly, “You’ve indeed offered something that piqued my interest, and I really can’t refuse you.”
“Come find me in three days; I need to prepare some things.”
“Not a problem; I’ll come back to visit you in three days.”
After saying this, Jiang Bufan turned and left the Coffin Shop.
Watching Jiang Bufan’s departing figure, A-Man worriedly said, “Senior, are you really going to help him?”
Originally, A-Man thought Chen Changsheng would analyze and come up with a plethora of reasons not to go, but instead, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, “Help him? I’m just deceiving him.”
A-Man: ???
“Elder Brother Changsheng, then aren’t you two meeting again in three days?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng got up and stretched, saying, “If I don’t agree to meet him in three days, how would I have time to prepare to run away?”
“The reason I stayed at this Kunlun Sacred Ground was that I was interested in its unique Spiritual Source.”
“Spiritual Stones are harvested from mineral veins, whereas this Spiritual Source is a resource even more precious than Spiritual Stones.”
“It not only contains extremely pure spiritual energy, but it also holds various ancient artifacts.”
“However, after understanding the origins of the Spiritual Source, I lost interest in it.”
“Because the places where Spiritual Sources are born are all unlucky locations, and now the Kunlun Sacred Ground has begun to explore such Forbidden Grounds like the Sacred Ruins.”
“Am I out of my mind to help them!”
Hearing this, A-Man thought for a moment and said, “But Elder Brother Changsheng, if you don’t use the Super Teleportation Array, how will you return to the Eastern Wasteland?”
“Now that we are in the Central Courtyard, the two places are separated by a distance of millions of miles!”
“What’s a distance of millions of miles? As long as I take it slowly, one day I’ll be able to get there.”
“I initially wanted to exchange the Spiritual Stones for the opportunity to use the Super Teleportation Array, but now it seems that won’t work.”
“Alright, A-Man, you tidy up your things first; I’m going to the Butterfly Valley.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng left the small Coffin Shop.
…
Butterfly Valley.
“Medicine Elder, I’m here to see you again!”
Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed in an elegantly set valley.
After a moment, a kind-faced, white-haired old man emerged from a thatched hut.
“You came at just the right time; I just finished translating the Sky-Replenishing Ointment the day before yesterday.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “I knew Medicine Elder you could do it; it was worth waiting for you for forty years.”
“Less of the flattery, without your help, I wouldn’t have deciphered this Sky-Replenishing Ointment even in four hundred years.”
