Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 742 - : Journey to Green Hill (Continued 3)

Chapter 742 -742: Journey to Green Hill (Continued 3)

Wang Chen made quite a profit in Spirit Stones by selling ice pop and refrigerators in Thousand Star Immortal City.

With the experience and knowledge from his previous life, his ice cream-making skills were now at least expert-level if not master-level.

Everyone who tasted it had nothing but praise.

The little fox girl tried the ice-cold, sweet, and creamy treat for the first time. Her eyes lit up with joy and narrowed into slits, and she licked her lips, clearly wanting more.

Wang Chen handed over two more with a grin: “Help yourself!”

The cost of making this box of ice pops hadn’t exceeded a hundred Spirit Stones, even with the use of top-quality ingredients. It truly didn’t matter how much he made.

...

“I want one too!”

“Me, me, me, and me too!”

“I want to try!”

Seeing the little fox girl enjoying her treat thoroughly, the rest of the fox children couldn’t resist.

Attracted by the sweet aroma of the ice pops and seeing the safe and peaceful exchange between Wang Chen and the little fox girl, they bravely approached to ask for their own.

“There’s enough for everyone!”

Wang Chen turned into a jovial Traveling Merchant, generously handing out ice pops to win over the hearts of the foxes.

Being friendly and harmless on someone else’s territory was definitely the wise thing to do!

Especially since this was the domain of the Monster Race.

“Give me one too.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

“Sure.”

Wang Chen handed one over without a second thought.

Then he saw a face that could be feisty or adorable — Hu Jiaojiao!

The beautiful fox of the Monster Race received the ice pop from Wang Chen with a smile and took a lick.

“Mmm.”

With curved eyebrows and a dimpled smile, she said, “This is delicious!”

Wang Chen let out a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you like it.”

Since waking up, despite appearing calm on the surface, his heart had been hanging by a thread.

He wasn’t afraid of the common threats but of the off chance that a Monster Race bigwig would appear out of nowhere and flatten him with a single swipe.

And there would be no place to appeal for injustice!

Now that he had finally met the person in charge, he had some security.

But suddenly, Wang Chen felt something was off and asked in astonishment as he watched Hu Jiaojiao slurping the ice pop, “You’ve solidified your pill?”

The aura Hu Jiaojiao exuded clearly indicated a level beyond the Purple Mansion Tier.

A Great Monster!

“Yes.”

With a chuckle, Hu Jiaojiao replied, “I solidified my pill a month ago.”

She explained, “After we parted last time, I went into seclusion to solidify my pill and only emerged after succeeding.”

So that’s how it was.

Wang Chen nodded in understanding — no wonder there had been no news for such a long time.

It was said that the Monster Race had an even lower chance of solidifying the pill than humans, and it usually took them longer.

Yet due to their far greater numbers, their high-end combat power was no weaker than that of the human cultivators.

With sincerity, he said, “Congratulations, congratulations!”

Solidifying the pill was like crossing a major hurdle; failures, especially at the last step, were often devastating.

Many cultivators at the peak of the Purple Mansion Tier, without full confidence, wouldn’t dare to challenge the final bottleneck, fearing that failure would harm their Taoist Foundation, reducing their cultivation levels and lifespan.

Or even cost them their lives!

“Thank you.”

Hu Jiaojiao spoke earnestly, “It was largely thanks to you for giving me the Mysterious Ginseng Child; otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

Wang Chen replied with a smile, “No need to be polite, you also gave me the Thousand-Year Spirit Pearl.”

“Jiaojiao sister!”

Just then, a bunch of fox children surrounded Hu Jiaojiao, with the little fox girl jumping right into her arms.

They were extremely affectionate.

Hu Jiaojiao stroked their heads and then said, “Sister has a guest, go play by yourselves.”

“Oh.”

These little foxes were all very well behaved in front of Hu Jiaojiao.

The little fox girl gazed intently at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen coughed and said, “All these popsicles are for you.”

The children of the fox tribe let out cheers in unison!

If Wang Chen’s cultivation panel had a goodwill level display, his rating with these little foxes would definitely have reached the friendly level by now.

Wang Chen and Hu Jiaojiao exchanged smiles.

Then, under the guidance of this beauty from the Fox Tribe, he arrived at a small wooden house by the side of the valley waterfall.

Scattered throughout the valley were many similar houses, all wooden structures, one or two stories high, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants. Green vines climbed up the rooftops, almost merging with the surroundings.

Although Hu Jiaojiao was a Great Demon, her dwelling seemed rather ordinary.

It was only after going inside that one discovered it to be extraordinary!

“This place of yours is really nice!”

As a grandmaster in artifact refining, Wang Chen, with his extensive knowledge and experience, recognized at a glance that Hu Jiaojiao’s house was actually a large special magical treasure.

The space inside was more than ten times larger than it appeared from the outside, and the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant!

As for the interior decor, it wasn’t all that significant.

Hu Jiaojiao smiled sweetly and, after inviting Wang Chen to sit down, personally brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea.

Wang Chen watched her every move, now with a different charm from before, and found it extremely pleasing to the eyes!

“Fellow Daoist, please.”

“Thank you.”

Wang Chen took the Spiritual Tea offered by Hu Jiaojiao with both hands and took a refreshing sip.

“Good tea!”

The tea was rich with the flavor of ginseng, warming the stomach upon ingestion and moisturizing his organs with spiritual power, making his Qi-Blood boil with excitement.

This was no ordinary Spiritual Tea!

“I added some ginseng leaves.”

Hu Jiaojiao explained, “They were shed by the Mysterious Ginseng Child.”

She sat opposite Wang Chen, sipping tea and sharing with him the process of her Condensing Core.

With Hu Jiaojiao’s talent, forming a Golden Core wasn’t much of a problem, but like Wang Chen, she aimed for a superior Golden Core.

However, in the final push, she fell short and nearly failed.

Luckily, at the critical moment, the Mysterious Ginseng Child bestowed upon her a breath of ginseng essence, not only helping her succeed in overcoming the tribulation but also achieving a superior Golden Core.

Although Hu Jiaojiao spoke lightly of it, Wang Chen sensed the thrilling taste of her story.

And Hu Jiaojiao sharing the details of her Condensing Core process so openly was clearly a way of providing him with reference experiences.

Human and Monster races follow vastly different paths in cultivation, but both aim for the same destination.

Therefore, it was valuable information.

However, most Golden Core True People rarely share their Condensing Core experiences, even with their True Disciples.

Because that involves their own cultivation secrets!

Hu Jiaojiao’s unreserved attitude moved Wang Chen greatly.

Now, Hu Jiaojiao was a whole great realm above him, and in reality, they were not on the same level.

Yet Hu Jiaojiao still treated him as a friend, without a hint of the airs of a Golden Core Great Demon.

This was indeed very rare.

After finishing, Hu Jiaojiao took out a jade box from her Sumeru Ring: “Here is the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng you wanted.”

“Thank you!”

Wang Chen expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He had already gathered most of the Condensing Core Treasures; now he just lacked the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng and the Ten-Thousand-Year Star Sand.

With the Seven-leaf Mysterious Ginseng, he was one step closer to forming his Golden Core.

Clasping the hard-earned jade box, Wang Chen felt a surge of ambition.

If Hu Jiaojiao could form a superior Golden Core, he had no reason to be inferior!
