Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 162: Chapter 155: I’ll Wait for You at Xianmen First Middle School

There were quite a few things to report.

But most of it was trivial.

For instance:

The Primordial Sect still hadn’t found the Evil Cultivator, but they’d caught quite a few Tribulation Cultivators, so security around the Market had improved.

Quite a few Loose Cultivators came seeking Pills or looking to complete their Pill Formulas, and Zhao Deyou handled most of them. A few, upon learning Chen Che wasn’t there, turned around and left, clearly not trusting Zhao Deyou’s Alchemy skills.

There was also an outsider Loose Cultivator who didn’t know his place. Seeing that the Pill Shop’s business was good, he tried to extort them. Ding Fei had him beaten half to death and thrown out the door.

...

As for Dan Guanjing, after spending a month in the Market without ever stepping outside, he ended up angering the Royal Family. They broke both his legs and dragged him back to the Great Feng. His younger brother, Dan Guangao, came to replace him. The latter even made a special trip to visit the Pill Shop once, though he didn’t bring a gift.

”He has no sense of propriety, showing up empty-handed like that. I didn’t even bother with him. I wonder how long he’ll last.”

At this, Ding Fei shook his head mockingly.

’He was so cautious his own family couldn’t stand it anymore, but he did manage to save his own skin.’

Chen Che couldn’t help but chuckle.

”Anything else?”

”Nope!”

Ding Fei scratched his head, pondered for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

”Oh, right! A while ago, I went to get some tofu pudding, and Old Xiao casually mentioned he was going back to his hometown. He said he’d be gone for at least a month. It’s been about half a month since then. None of the other tofu pudding shops in the Market are as good as his.”

Ding Fei sounded a little wistful.

After Old Xiao left, three or four new tofu pudding stalls popped up in the Market, but they were nowhere near as good as his.

He’d really missed it for the past half-month.

”...Going back to his hometown?”

Chen Che was lost in thought.

Clearly, the man had finished all his preparations and was starting his Foundation Establishment. Since he didn’t see me before leaving, he passed a message through Ding Fei.

On the Earth Element Star, because all the theories have been perfected, Foundation Establishment only takes three to five days.

But in this world, the time limit is extended to a month. Moreover, various problems can arise during Foundation Establishment, so people usually find someone they trust to act as a Protector. However, Xiao Chan didn’t have anyone he trusted; he had probably gone into hiding.

That made sense. With the Primordial Sect hunting for him, he wouldn’t risk attempting Foundation Establishment unless it was absolutely safe.

’Going back to his hometown... Could he have gone back to the foot of the Primordial Sect’s mountain? Right, it’s darkest under the lamp. The Primordial Sect would never imagine he’d dare to go back.’

Chen Che thought to himself.

This was definitely big news. Once this Evil Cultivator achieved Foundation Establishment, it would likely usher in another wave of blood and slaughter.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

As they were speaking, a clear gong sound echoed from the street. Chu Gong, with a Jade Flute tucked into his belt, was standing in the middle of the Market:

”Blacksmiths and those with experience in Artifact Casting are welcome at Jinyun Valley. Those who pass the assessment will receive a monthly stipend.”

”Artifact Casting? Blacksmiths?”

In the Market, many people craned their necks to look, exclaiming in surprise:

”Hasn’t the Valley Master finished forging his Magical Artifact yet?”

”Yeah, it’s already been three months...”

As Chu Gong passed the Pill Shop, Chen Che glanced at him before looking away.

’They’ve already sent three shipments of ore. That should be enough for any Magical Artifact. But now they’re recruiting another batch of blacksmiths. What on earth is he trying to make?’

His fingers tapped lightly.

Many people were curious, and so was he. A few days ago, he’d even secretly tried to probe with his Divine Thought. Unfortunately, there was a restriction on the valley, and his Divine Sense couldn’t get in at all.

’Whatever. It has nothing to do with me anyway.’

Chen Che couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped dwelling on it.

’If I can win a fight, I’ll kill. If I can’t, I’ll run.’
