Chapter 1352


“I… I don’t know . ” Wan Qing shook her head .


The Pill Fairy now came back, holding a tray of fruit .


She had recovered her calm, but Long Chen knew that she had gone out to get the fruit as an excuse . After all, she could have just retrieved some from a storage or life ring . There was no need to go to another room .


The Pill Fairy placed the tray on a table, and using a handkerchief, she dried an apple-like fruit and handed it to Wan Qing .


This fruit was an eighth tier medicinal ingredient . After eating it, a person would feel completely refreshed . It was something that could be used to nourish the soul .


Wan Qing clearly knew just how precious it was, and it took much cajoling and encouragement from the Pill Fairy for her to take it .


On the other hand, Long Chen didn’t stand on courtesy and instantly took a big bite as if it was his in the first place .


The Pill Fairy smiled at this unruliness . It was like there were no rules that could restrict him . But this unruliness seemed innate and was not something dislikable . Instead, it made him seem sincere and trustworthy instead of pretentious .


“Long San, I’m also very curious about the origin of shooting stars . Can you tell us?” The Pill Fairy picked up a crystalline grape and placed it in her mouth .


She didn’t know why, but when she was with him, it felt like there were no rules or etiquette that she had to follow . She could be carefree and chat naturally .


“In truth, you aren’t aware of it, but the stars above our heads all have people living on them . Some experts control this starfield, and those experts are the G.o.ds and immortals we talk about . According to my memories, shooting stars are instead called flying stars . They’re huge stars in movement and are actually the same as our flying boats . G.o.ds use these flying stars to travel… Pill Fairy, don’t laugh . This is all true . ”


The Pill Fairy was again unable to contain her laughter . But with her previous experience, she managed to stifle it . It was just that holding back was difficult .


On the surface, it seemed possible that shooting stars were objects used to travel through the cosmos . After all, the speed at which they flew through s.p.a.ce made it seem like they were used for travel .


Seeing the Pill Fairy was quiet, Long Chen cleared his throat . “However, Wan Qing, don’t worry . I’m not strong enough right now, but once I become a true Warrior of the Starry Sky, I promise to buy you a shooting star to play with!”


“Shooting stars can be bought?” Wan Qing asked in amazement .


“As long as it has substance, it has value and can be bought . ”


Wan Qing actually believed Long Chen’s nonsense and obediently nodded . But then she suddenly recalled that she hadn’t finished her coursework for today, and she hastily rushed off to study alchemy .


The Pill Fairy was unable to bestow her with a disciple badge of the Divine Pill Hall . However, no one had the qualifications to prevent her from accepting a worker . That was because her status was so high .


“You really know how to talk nonsense . Even I almost believed it . ” When Wan Qing was gone and it was just the Pill Fairy and Long Chen, the Pill Fairy finally laughed .


“Yup . Even I almost believed myself . ” Long Chen sighed . To be able to brag to the point where even you believed your bragging was also a kind of realm .


“Long San, you feel different compared to others . Being with you is interesting . With your humor, wit, and kindness, you should have many girls after you, right?”


Now that it was just the two of them, the atmosphere lightened . The Pill Fairy took out a jug of fruit wine and poured it into cups .


“I suppose . I have many beauties, but even more hot-blooded brothers . ” Long Chen raised the cup and smelled the fruit wine . It wasn’t bad . He actually smelled something familiar about it .


He realized that this familiarity reminded him of the Wine G.o.d Palace . It seemed that Pill Valley had managed to secretly learn a few things from the Wine G.o.d Palace from their cooperation back then . However, the true skills still rested with the Wine G.o.d Palace .


Long Chen directly told the Pill Fairy the truth . After just their few interactions, he had surprisingly felt that he could completely trust the Pill Fairy . He didn’t bother lying to cover his ident.i.ty .


The Pill Fairy stared at him, while Long Chen also surprised himself . The hand with which she was pouring the wine quivered, and her eyes contained shock, as well as grat.i.tude .


“Thank you for trusting me . ” A faint redness appeared on her face .


Long Chen quickly realized that the Pill Fairy had investigated the background of Long San . Considering the compet.i.tion between the conservative faction and the radical faction, both sides definitely kept a tight watch over the other . The information behind Long San had probably been memorized by the Pill Fairy .


This information was based on Zhuo Tianxiang’s investigation into Long Chen . According to his soulsearch and investigation, Long San didn’t have any friends or lovers . For Long Chen to say such a thing now, it was clear that he wasn’t concealing anything from the Pill Fairy .


Long Chen also didn’t know why he would say such a thing . But unexpectedly, this ended up winning him the Pill Fairy’s trust . The two of them ended up closer than before .


“It’s strange for me to say this, but for some reason, when I first saw you, I felt a kind of familiarity with you . My intuition told me that you weren’t a bad person, but you were hiding huge secrets . You should have your own goal in coming to Pill Valley . That’s fine . I just hope you won’t help them . I’m not saying that because of the conservative faction, but because of Pill Valley and the entire continent . Once they gain power, the entire world will be thrown into chaos, and a rain of blood will pour over the cultivation world . Long San, you’re a good person . Otherwise, you would neither get vengeance for Duan Tianqiao, help some random girl, nor entrust your life to someone you don’t even know that well . I don’t think that we’ll be enemies . I’m not asking you to stand on my side, but please don’t help them . That would put me in a difficult spot,” implored the Pill Fairy . Under her beautiful eyes, even someone with a heart of steel would soften .


“Thank you as well . I truly do have my own goal here in Pill Valley, and I also don’t want to be enemies with you . As for my relations.h.i.+p with them, I’ll definitely have to give them an ‘explanation’ . But I guarantee I won’t make things hard on you,” promised Long Chen .


Long Chen felt that the Pill Fairy was a very kind person . She possessed her own terrifying martial might, but she didn’t use that to bully the weak .


Moreover, she didn’t have the slightest arrogant att.i.tude . Compared to the beauty Dan Yanxue, well, Dan Yanxue wasn’t even qualified to be compared to her . The Pill Fairy possessed a natural charismatic air .


Although Long Chen didn’t agree to leave his faction, his promise still brightened her mood .


“A gentleman’s words can be trusted . Let us clasp hands as our promise . ” The Pill Fairy extended a pure, jade-like hand .


“Alright . While I’m no gentleman, I definitely won’t break my promises . ”


Long Chen also extended a hand . After lightly clasping hands, this oath was fully established .


The Pill Fairy clearly became much more relaxed . “Long San, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me . As long as I’m capable of it, I’ll help you . ”


Long Chen’s heart began to pound . The Pill Fairy was Pill Valley’s number one figure amongst the junior generation . Furthermore, her background was terrifying . Perhaps it really was possible for her .


“I won’t hide the truth from you . What I want is to cultivate the second volume of the Nirvana Scripture,” said Long Chen . Perhaps he could reach his goal through the Pill Fairy instead of being used by Zhuo Tianxiang .


To obtain the Nirvana Scripture from Zhuo Tianxiang’s side would be very difficult . He didn’t even know how high his chances were of succeeding . He had always been worried about this .


The Pill Fairy knitted her brows and frowned . “I have cultivated the second volume of the Nirvana Scripture, but I am unable to transmit it to you . Even if I betrayed the teachings of my ancestors and wanted to teach it to you, my cultivation base is not high enough to do so . ”


Long Chen’s heart sank . Even the Pill Fairy was powerless to help . Then it seemed it would be even more difficult than he had thought to obtain it from Zhuo Tianxiang .


However, the Pill Fairy then said, “But don’t be disappointed . In just over a month, the Heaven Dragon Flame Region will be opened . Once you enter the Heaven Dragon Flame Region, you’ll have a chance to come into contact with the second volume of the Nirvana Scripture . ”


“The Heaven Dragon Flame Region? What’s that?” asked Long Chen, delighted .


“The Heaven Dragon Flame Region is Pill Valley’s ancestral land . It is a corner of a broken world and a land of flames . There are Earth Flame Spirit Beasts roaming around, and disciples are able to go and try to subdue them . This is a benefit given to disciples once every three years . However, only the top three hundred disciples of the Divine Pill Hall and the top five hundred of the Flame Divine Palace are qualified to enter,” said the Pill Fairy .


The Flame Divine Palace was something Long Chen knew about . Pill Valley had alchemists and flame cultivators . The Divine Pill Hall was for the best alchemists, while the Divine Flame Palace was where the flame cultivators gathered . Elder Zhu came from the Flame Divine Palace .


“Within the depths of the Heaven Dragon Flame Region is the Flame G.o.d Tablet . The second volume of the Nirvana Scripture is inscribed on it . However, the tablet’s immortal characters are different from the immortal characters most people are familiar with these days . I’m worried that even if you see it, you won’t be able to understand what’s written,” said the Pill Fairy apologetically . Those characters on the tablet were incredibly difficult to understand . The second volume of the Nirvana Scripture that Pill Valley used was a translation of that original inscription . But most likely, there was quite a bit of deviation between their translation and the original .


“The Heaven Dragon Flame Region, eh? I’ll definitely have to take a look . Thank you, Pill Fairy . To thank you, how about I bring you out to play?” Long Chen stood up, prepared to go back to cultivating . He merely tossed out a joke .


“Alright . ”


However, Long Chen’s joke wasn’t declined by the Pill Fairy . Unexpectedly, she agreed .
