Chapter 1753 - 1753 Leaving the Ancient Martial World
1753 Leaving the Ancient Martial World
Time passed quickly. In the private room of a restaurant in the afternoon, Chi Shuyan said goodbye to the Fan father and son after lunch. In short, she had pretty much done a round of the ancient martial world and had a pretty good understanding of it. Although the spiritual energy here was better than in the capital, it wasn’t that much better, and wasn’t much different from the streets of the capital. The only difference was that there were probably a lot more ancient martial arts practitioners here, and there were also a lot of trade bazaars.
However, the cultivation levels of the ancient martial arts practitioners here weren’t high. Very few could truly comprehend the Dao through martial arts. Most people relied on medicinal pills to increase their cultivation. Unfortunately, there were few medicinal pills, so cultivation progress was very slow.
After a day or two of learning, Chi Shuyan’s curiosity and interest in this world waned.
The only surprise was the ancient and rare herbs she had gathered in the past two days, as well as the discovery of spirit stones with spiritual energy. She had also read in the Mystic Yin Arts that the cultivation world relied on spirit stones. Unfortunately, the spirit stones in the ancient martial world weren’t like the spirit stones in the cultivation world. The spiritual energy contained in them was too little and was of little value to her, so she currently wasn’t interested in them. Of course, if she had a use for them in the future, and suggested that the Fan family pay her in spirit stones for the spirit tea, the Fan family would most likely agree.
The Fan father and son didn’t expect Master Chi to leave so soon, so when they heard her say goodbye, they were stupefied, especially Father Fan. He acknowledged that because of the pills last night, he had a lot of selfish motives. Of course, apart from that, Father Fan also wanted to entertain Master Chi properly this time and take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship, so her farewell caught him off guard!
Father Fan was stumped for a moment, then hurriedly regained his senses and said in a panic, “Master Chi, are you leaving so soon because my Fan family didn’t treat you well?”
The more Father Fan thought about it, the more he felt that they had failed in too many respects in entertaining Master Chi. He was very anxious, afraid that if he didn’t do something, he would offend Master Chi. The gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.
After last night, he became even more aware that Master Chi might be young, but neither he nor the Fan family could afford to offend her. He regretted letting his son entertain Master Chi last night and not doing it himself. If Master Chi really was angry, Father Fan wouldn’t be able to bear the anger of a high-level alchemist.
The more Father Fan thought about it, the more anxious he became. The anxiety on his face was obvious. Chi Shuyan hurriedly explained, “It’s not that you didn’t treat me well, Master Fan. It’s just that before I came, I already planned to only stay for a day or two at most. I still have other urgent matters to attend to. Young Master Yin should know about this!”
Stumped for a moment, Fan Yin then remembered Master Chi’s phone call in the car back then, when the other party had seemed to want her to go back as soon as possible. Fan Yin already had a guess, and now that Master Chi had spoken, he was even more certain of it. Seeing Master Chi look meaningfully at him, he hurriedly explained on her behalf to his father, “Dad, Master Chi does have something else on. On our way here, Master Chi already arranged to meet with someone else.”
Seeing that his father was still anxious, Fan Yin continued to comfort him. “Besides, it’s not like Master Chi won’t come again after this. Master Chi, if you want to come in the future, just let me know on WeChat or by phone! I’ll be on call!”
Fan Yin chuckled and joked, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately improved. Chi Shuyan also laughed and echoed, “Young Master Yin is right. If I want to come again next time, I’ll definitely let the Fan family know first!”
Chi Shuyan’s words carried a hint of promise, which reassured the Fan father and son immensely. Fan Yin didn’t dwell on it and just assumed that she would come again next time. He was very excited and kept repeating that if she came again, she had to let him know.
Father Fan had a lot more thoughts. Given Master Chi’s expression and explanation, he could only believe her at that moment. After confirming that he and his son hadn’t offended this high-level alchemist, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately echoed, “Of course, Master Chi! Ah Yin is free anytime.”
In fact, Father Fan wanted to say that he was free anytime, but that would be too obsequious. Father Fan was a smart person and knew when not to go overboard. If he was too obsequious, the other party might look down on him.
Chi Shuyan was very satisfied with the Fan father and son’ attitude over the past two days. First of all, Father Fan was a smart person. As for Fan Yin, apart from being impulsive, he was a nice person. He was simple-minded and didn’t have any ill intentions, and whatever he felt was written all over his face. Chi Shuyan quite liked this kind of character, and didn’t have to worry about being schemed against.
She was also very satisfied with the father and son’s attitude after last night. They weren’t in a hurry to bring up the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Marrow Recovery Pill, and their attitude toward her didn’t change much. What satisfied her the most was Fan Yin’s attitude. The extra bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills which she gave to him last night hadn’t been in vain.
Seeing that Master Chi really was leaving, the Fan father and son didn’t try to persuade her to stay anymore. Father Fan immediately prepared to send her off himself, giving Chi Shuyan no chance to refuse.
Before that, Father Fan didn’t forget to thank her for the Marrow Cleansing Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills. He sounded very grateful. “Master Chi, thank you for the Marrow Cleansing Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills. Ah Yin and I are incomparably grateful. Getting to know you is the greatest luck Ah Yin has ever had.”
Before Father Fan could finish speaking, Fan Yin interrupted and hurriedly nodded in agreement. “Yes! Yes!” Wasn’t knowing Master Chi the luckiest thing to ever happen to him? Whether it was the level 6 Advancement Pill, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, or the Spirit Gathering Pill, there were times when he felt emotional about his good luck.
In the end, Father Fan suppressed his own selfish motives and sincerely warned her, “In the end, there are still too many eyes in the ancient martial world. Master Chi, if you want to trade in the future, it’s best not to casually take out a heaven-defying pill like the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It’s easy for people to have ill intentions. But don’t worry, Master Chi. I’ve already gotten someone to suppress the commotion caused by the Marrow Cleansing Pill last night. Definitely no one will be able to trace it back to you, Master Chi!”
