Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!

Chapter 1284: Chapter 383: To See Through, One Must First Examine

"Given your situation, even if your foundation is unstable, with my help, reaching the Third Realm in cultivation is not an issue."

Having said that, Chen Yan took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them on the table.

"These are elixirs for nurturing and tempering the physical body. Take one each month after returning.

Additionally, I will teach you a set of Inner Breath Techniques to dissolve the medicinal power. Each time you take one, practice this technique for three days to digest the medicinal power and nurture your body.

In about a year, your physical strength should match the level of a normal cultivator in the Third Realm, but... that’s the limit.

At the Third Realm, thanks to these elixirs, your lifespan will at least exceed two hundred years.

Moreover, there are benefits like preserving your youthful appearance, which I believe will be quite pleasing for women like you."

Chu Keqing’s heart trembled. Seeing the porcelain bottle before her, she instantly realized this was a tremendous advantage Chen Yan was offering!

But she didn’t expect that it wasn’t over yet!

Chen Yan took out a Jade Scroll and placed it on the table.

"This contains some basic spells. Though they aren’t exclusive secret techniques, they... hmm, they are common spells every ordinary cultivator should know.

Such things are indeed rarely known in this world, mainly because the spell heritage in this world is broken."

Chu Keqing was suddenly moved, her eyes widened as she looked at the Jade Scroll on the table before her, her breath quickening uncontrollably!

Nurturing the body to enhance it and prolonging life!

Additionally, with numerous spells, she could become the "true cultivator" Chen Yan mentioned!!

Would she really be able to learn all the spells Chen Yan performed, which she found incredible and seemingly only existed in legends?!

This kind of gift was simply a life-renewing grace?!

But...

No!

Chu Keqing’s body suddenly shook. Her gaze toward Chen Yan changed too, looking quite bad; she forced a smile through clenched teeth: "Senior Chen Yan... you, today you’re treating me as if... as if it’s a farewell gift, like you want to draw a line with me in the future..."

Chen Yan did not speak, just silently picked up a wine cup and took another sip.

Not until the wine went down his throat did he gently exhale: "That’s not the case, you overthink."

Only then did Chu Keqing breathe a sigh of relief, staring into Chen Yan’s eyes: "Today, you really terrified me.

If you want to leave me, want to draw a line with me, I’d rather not have these gifts of yours, just let me stay by your side."

Chen Yan, seemingly contemplative, looked out the window and shook his head: "I have no immediate plans to leave. Giving you these things is just... hmm, think of it as a reward for all the help you’ve given me.

Besides, Chu Keqing, your talent is actually excellent. In this world lacking in Primordial Qi, you could cultivate beyond the Second Realm on your own with a fragmented technique – this talent is already top-notch.

Such talent, to let you be trapped in a lifelong congenital deficiency, is something I’m reluctant to see, so helping you is just a convenient act."

Yet Chu Keqing firmly shook her head: "Perhaps it’s just a convenience for you, but for me, it’s a grace akin to life-renewing!"

"There is only one thing you must remember.

The elixirs are for your own consumption only, not to be given to others!

The spells are for your own cultivation only, not to be taught to others, nor introduced into your Cloud Sect!"

Chen Yan’s tone was very serious.

Chu Keqing did not hesitate, immediately nodding: "Understood! I won’t defy your words."

Chen Yan sighed: "It’s not that I’m stingy, unwilling to let you pass these spells to Cloud Sect members, but..."

After a pause, he continued in a low voice: "I won’t hide it from you, these spells mean little to me, they’re just something I acquired from another place. Over there, ordinary cultivators know these spells. They’re just common goods.

But! You must know that in this world, the Heavenly Dao suppresses cultivation, and the spell heritage is incomplete or even severed.

All this seems like a loss and error during the millennia-long heritage process.

But fundamentally, this is actually this world’s Heavenly Dao’s will!

The Heavenly Dao does not allow, thus the heritage does not pass down.

If I teach you, it’s just your private practice and use, that’s your own business. The Heavenly Dao will not care about this.

But if it turns into ’heritage,’ then the Heavenly Dao may immediately descend with unknown forces to suppress and punish!"

After saying these, Chen Yan flipped the wine cup in front of him, topping it down on the table.

"Now, I’ve said all that needed saying, and explained everything. You should leave now.

For the coming days, if I don’t look for you, there’s no need for you to seek me out. Focus on taking your medicine and practicing."

He finished and stood up, glancing at the house door; his intention clear: to see the guest out.

Chu Keqing panicked at heart, looked at Chen Yan, puzzled: "Senior, I have a feeling your emotions..."

Chen Yan appeared calm and said slowly: "I’ve lost my love, akin to both heartbreak and widowing, and I need to handle my thoughts properly, so I won’t keep you."

He said, rolling up his sleeves, sweeping up the medicine bottles and Jade Scroll from the table, placing them into Chu Keqing’s hands, then grabbed her hand, walked her to the door, opened it, and pushed her out.

"Farewell, I won’t see you off."

After closing the door, Chen Yan returned to the house.

He stood in the empty living room, gazing at the cold and deserted home...

The room still retained many traces of Lu Sisi’s life.

The dog-printed pillow on the sofa, her favorite to hold in her arms daily.

The carpet in front of the sofa, where she loved sitting to watch TV the most.

The living room TV, if turned on, is still logged into Lu Sisi’s user account.

In the master bedroom, the sheets and duvet cover were her selections, even the pillow was a memory foam pillow she picked deliberately...

"Yes, it’s just that she’s gone." Chen Yan muttered softly to himself.

He slowly walked back to the dining table in the living room, looked around the house, suddenly smiled, a smile with a bit of tragedy, a dash of strangeness.

"What do people who are heartbroken or widowed do in such a mood at this time?

Ah, yes... drink."

He finished, picking up the wine bottle on the table, drinking straight from the opening.

After finishing a bottle, he lightly exhaled.

With his physical strength, a bottle of alcohol couldn’t get him drunk, so Chen Yan pondered, then went to the kitchen for more wine, sat down on the ground cross-legged.

Opening one bottle, drinking one, opening another, drinking another.

At some unknown point, wine bottles lay haphazardly everywhere; Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh, lying on the ground.

Sad?

He was naturally sad.

It hurt, painful, with anger, loneliness...

Yet Chen Yan didn’t suppress these emotions like in past days, nor did he use any spells or chants to clear his mental realm, but allowed himself to be immersed in these painful feelings.

Greed, anger, delusion...

See through, see through.

If you don’t see, how can you break through.

Mind complicated, even the Primordial Spirit subtly shaking.

Chen Yan lay on the ground, eyes closed, but his lips curved in a cold smile, finally, he fell asleep.
