Chapter 246: Bestowing Magical Treasures

Ji Hongfu nodded slowly.

“I didn’t expect that there would still be such cultivators existing in the territory of the Cursed Dragon Sea.”

Chen Ansheng quickly asked, “Master, is he a Law Cultivator?”

Ji Hongfu pondered for a moment and replied, “Sort of, but not really.”

Chen Ansheng was taken aback; what kind of answer was that?

Seeing his confusion, Ji Hongfu smiled and said, “It’s not that I’m intentionally trying to stump you. It’s just that this type of cultivator is extremely special. They are known as ‘Witches.’ They have similarities with Law Cultivators, but there are significant differences.”

“Oh?”

Chen Ansheng became intrigued.

“Master, does this mean Witches are difficult to deal with?”

Chen Ansheng knew that the less commonly seen cultivation paths were often harder to confront.

“Naturally.” Ji Hongfu nodded, neither confirming nor denying, “However, I am not afraid of this type of cultivator. Back when I traveled the mountains and seas, ventured into forbidden zones, and sought out laws, I had a conflict with an isolated witch clan. We battled for over twenty years; I devised a set of methods to counter them.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng’s eyes sparkled.

His master was simply extraordinary, seemingly knowing everything.

“That’s great! Please teach me your methods, Master.”

Chen Ansheng excitedly bowed deeply.

“Teach you what?”

Ji Hongfu shook his head, then said, “My methods are not something that can be mastered in a day or two. Not only have you not opened your Law Palace, but also there is no time.”

Chen Ansheng immediately deflated.

“Then surely you have some defensive magical treasures you can lend me?”

Chen Ansheng asked, unwilling to give up.

“Haha.” Ji Hongfu laughed, tapping Chen Ansheng on the head, “You’ve figured me out, huh? I have three magical treasures to bestow upon you. As long as you use them properly, dealing with this minor Witch will be no problem.”

“Master, you’re the best! What treasures do you have? Please show me!”

Chen Ansheng twirled around in joy. If it weren’t for his master’s wrinkled face being hard to approach, he would have jumped up to kiss him.

Ji Hongfu immediately summoned three items, hovering in front of Chen Ansheng.

“Take them. After you recognize them with a drop of blood, you will know their functions. I must remind you, even with my magical treasures, never be careless when facing Witches. Otherwise, your life may be at stake, understand?” Ji Hongfu said, unusually serious.

“I understand, Master.”

Chen Ansheng took the treasures and nodded earnestly.

“Alright, I cannot stay for long. If I delay, that brat Li Huaizhen might recruit those shrimp soldiers and crab generals and wipe them out.”

Ji Hongfu said.

“Hmm?” Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow and asked, “Master, what’s wrong with Li Huaizhen? Is he rebelling?”

“Not quite.” Ji Hongfu stroked his beard and said, “That brat has been progressing rapidly since arriving in the Immortal Realm. He is at a critical juncture in his cultivation, and if he’s not careful, he might become a bloodthirsty demon. Therefore, I need to help him get through this period.”

“I see.” Chen Ansheng relaxed, “That brat has considerable opportunities; he might soon catch up to or even surpass me. He could make a good bodyguard, hehe.”

Ji Hongfu said, “Speaking of opportunities, who can compare to you? Forget it, I’m off. If there’s danger, remember to call for me.”

With that, Ji Hongfu’s figure dissolved into the spatial fluctuations and vanished.

“What opportunities do I have? It’s just luck, that’s all.”

Chen Ansheng mumbled to himself and then sat down to explore the mysteries of the three magical treasures.

Several hours later, Chen Ansheng unlocked the restrictions, slowly walking out of the cave.

On the other side of the cave hall, Ying Lan had burned a large tub of celestial spring water with her celestial power. She waited anxiously, heating the water several times but still hadn’t bathed.

Sensing Chen Ansheng’s movement, Ying Lan smiled and hurriedly removed her clothes, diving into the wooden tub.

“Is it Chen Junior Brother who has exited?”

Ying Lan called out playfully.

“Yes.”

Chen Ansheng sat down on a chair in the cave hall, picking up a celestial fruit to taste.

Seeing that Chen Ansheng hadn’t barged in, Ying Lan felt a bit anxious inside.

After a moment of silence, she came up with a plan and let out a sharp, desperate scream.

“Hmm?”

Hearing the noise, Chen Ansheng’s figure flashed, rushing into the cave where Ying Lan was.

“Crash!”

With a splash, Ying Lan quickly stood up from the bath, her white jade-like body partially revealed in the mist.

“Chen Junior Brother, how did you come in? It’s so embarrassing.”

Ying Lan covered her important parts, her face flushed, feigning anger.

Chen Ansheng stared at her, casually sizing her up, surprised at how unexpectedly well-endowed she was.

However, Chen Ansheng was someone who had seen many situations and was not as flustered as he was years ago when he first met Qing’er.

Moreover, Chen Ansheng clearly knew that Ying Lan had purposely let him in.

Should he go in or not?

Chen Ansheng hesitated for a moment, but decided against it.

He had so many maids in the lower realm, each one not inferior to Ying Lan; why bother?

Furthermore, in the Immortal Realm, few could compare to Zhong Li, so he needed to maintain his composure for his Senior Sister. He was a decent man; how could he be fooled by such tricks?

Hmph!

“Sorry, sorry! I didn’t know Senior Sister was bathing; my bad!”

Chen Ansheng feigned panic and hurriedly retreated.

“Hey, you…”

Ying Lan angrily crouched back into the wooden tub.

“This brat, is he really stupid or just pretending to be pure? Hmph, I don’t believe I can’t handle you.”

So, Ying Lan hastily finished her bath, put on a light silk robe, and prepared to take out her treasured “Drunken Immortal Wine” to drink with Chen Ansheng, waiting for him to get drunk and then allowing herself to take control.

“Hehe.”

With that thought, Ying Lan couldn’t help but laugh to herself.

When she returned to the cave hall, however, there was no sign of Chen Ansheng.

Only on the celestial table were words written with celestial power by Chen Ansheng: “Sister Lan, if you really can’t hold it in, I’ll introduce a partner for you another day.”

Ying Lan was stunned.

What did this brat mean?

What does “can’t hold it in” mean?

“You stinky brat, so you were just pretending to be foolish! You’re driving me crazy!”

Ying Lan felt rejected and was so furious she was about to cry.

…

The next morning.

In the hall of Immortal King Han’s palace.

Only second to Immortal King Han, Gu Miaoyan entered the hall.

Other than Chen Ansheng, the others had yet to arrive.

“Greetings, Great General.”

Chen Ansheng recognized her right away; she was the one who had coerced and lured him to Chaos Island.

“You’ve done quite well. It’s only been a little over a month since we last met, and you’ve already become a named disciple of the Immortal King. You should be thanking me for that.”

Gu Miaoyan, dressed in a white dress, had a cold demeanor like snow, a truly rare beauty among immortals.
