CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 355: CHANCE ENCOUNTER ON THE STREET

Just as Chen Guan was about to take the other Profound Iron Mace and Purple Gold Gourd Hammer from Fu Tianji’s hands, Fu Tianji suddenly opened his eyes and abruptly stood up straight.

This startled Chen Guan, who quickly stepped back and assumed a combat stance.

This time, Fu Tianji did not immediately attack Chen Guan. After the Profound Iron Mace and Purple Gold Gourd Hammer in his hands clashed fiercely, the Purple Gold Gourd Hammer in Chen Guan’s hands flew uncontrollably back to Fu Tianji.

"What kind of nonsense poison is this, it only put Fu Tianji to sleep for a while?" Chen Guan felt frustrated; the determination and hatred in Fu Tianji’s eyes still persisted.

Chen Guan dared not act rashly, but he was unwilling to leave just like that.

If he left, he didn’t know who would end up with the eight Secret Divine Treasures in Fu Tianji’s possession.

Chen Guan rested to heal his injuries while waiting for Fu Tianji to be completely influenced by the Undying Evil King. By then, he could effortlessly take away the eight Secret Divine Treasures.

Time flew by quickly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. The wounds on Chen Guan’s body had scabbed over, but the broken bones required the aid of special elixirs for complete healing, which would take around ten days to half a month.

During this period, Chen Guan could clearly see that Fu Tianji’s independent consciousness was becoming weaker and weaker.

Chen Guan tried to move, and Fu Tianji no longer attacked him.

However, wherever Chen Guan went, Fu Tianji would follow him.

"I might as well go back first; staying here indefinitely isn’t a solution." Chen Guan planned to take Fu Tianji back and then figure out how to use him.

After wandering in the mountains for a few days, Chen Guan finally found a city within the Dragon Tiger Mountain Secret Realm. He used the teleportation array in the city to leave the Dragon Tiger Mountain Secret Realm.

With the conspicuous Fu Tianji in tow, Chen Guan couldn’t use vehicles like airplanes and instead had to ride his Night Lion horse through the wilderness. Fu Tianji followed him all the way back to the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm.

When Chen Guan returned to the Qilin Corps, Ji Nanhong was shocked to see Fu Tianji’s eight-armed appearance.

Chen Guan explained the situation briefly, and Ji Nanhong was greatly surprised: "Fu Tianji was once a figure who dominated the world; I didn’t expect him to fall into your hands and become like this."

"He hardly has any consciousness left now, but he keeps following me, which is quite a troublesome matter," Chen Guan sighed.

The issue wasn’t much, except Fu Tianji would stand beside him, staring at him even when he tried to sleep, which made resting difficult for Chen Guan.

Resting was manageable, but when Chen Guan wanted to engage in some activity, having such a non-human entity standing nearby made things truly difficult for him.

Chen Guan tried various methods, but none were very effective.

He wanted to lock Fu Tianji outside the door, hoping to have some privacy.

However, with one swing, Fu Tianji smashed the door, and even broke through walls, completely unable to be kept away from Chen Guan’s side.

Chen Guan was helpless and could only continue to wait for Fu Tianji to completely forget everything from the past, including his grievances with Chen Guan.

Other than disrupting Chen Guan’s rest, it didn’t affect much.

During this time, Chen Guan was busy practicing the Secret Skills.

The Disabling Fist’s level needed to be improved; it had tremendous effects, even beyond imagination.

However, practicing the Disabling Fist required practicing seven kinds of Secret Skills, which really took a lot of time.

"No wonder everyone knows Composite Secret Skills are powerful, but few are proficient in many Life Recovery Secret Skills. Practicing them truly wastes time, and generally, people don’t have so much time and Primordial Energy for practicing so many Secret Skills." Chen Guan had abundant Primordial Energy, not needing to wait for recovery, so he practiced much faster than ordinary people.

Adding the Ultimate of the Infinite as an aid, Secret Skills were practiced exceedingly quickly.

Because there wasn’t time to buy elixirs at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Chen Guan had to go to Dongcheng District to buy elixirs.

While walking on the street, Chen Guan spotted an old acquaintance.

"What’s Bu Changning doing?" Upon seeing him, Chen Guan immediately stepped back a few steps, took the dressed-up Fu Tianji, hid in the alley nearby, and peered out.

He saw Bu Changning hiding behind a bus stop sign, staring at a super mall across the street, motionless, not knowing what he was up to.

After a while, Chen Guan understood what Bu Changning was doing.

A woman and a man emerged from the mall; Chen Guan recognized the man, Xiu Haofeng of the Xiu family.

Coincidentally, Chen Guan also knew the woman, Bu Changning’s childhood friend, whom he remembered was called Qing Ya.

Seeing Qing Ya and Xiu Haofeng come out of the mall talking and laughing, their hands full of packages, Chen Guan wasn’t surprised.

He had vaguely felt before that Bu Changning and Qing Ya’s relationship wouldn’t end well, just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Though Chen Guan didn’t want to get involved with Bu Changning, he couldn’t help but sneak a peek; the habit of loving to watch a commotion wasn’t unique to him.

However, Chen Guan kept a distance, avoiding Bu Changning’s sight, not wanting to invite trouble.

"Bu Changning probably can’t stand it now, right? His superior and his childhood friend are entangled; how could he tolerate it? Looks like the Devil’s Scripture is about to break through again." Chen Guan prepared to watch the commotion, thinking to himself, "Bu Changning might not kill in public, but he is likely no match for Xiu Haofeng. Even if he could defeat him, killing publicly would ruin his life."

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Xiu Haofeng drive a luxury car over, helping Qing Ya put the packages inside and then opening the door for her to sit.

Originally, Chen Guan thought Bu Changning would rush up and pull Qing Ya down, even envisaged Bu Changning giving them some slaps.

But until the luxury car left the long street, Bu Changning stood there, unmoved.

"Wow, he can tolerate this? Xiu Haofeng bought Qing Ya so many things, surely there’ll be an equal exchange tonight. Why isn’t he stopping them?" Chen Guan felt uncomfortable watching, not liking how spectators would look at such events.

"Forget it, we can’t meddle in others’ affairs." Chen Guan turned and detoured to another street, continuing to buy his elixirs.

Chen Guan had quite a bit of money on hand, but little could be bought with it for those special High Level elixirs, so he ended up selecting and purchasing some high-quality Qi Replenishing Pills, spending over ten million.

"This is not a solution, I need to find ways to get money and resources," Chen Guan pondered on acquiring money and resources.

Making small money wasn’t difficult, but making big money was very hard.

Resources too weren’t easy to obtain; those collected without risk were controlled by major powers, unless he dared to adventure into undeveloped regions.

The Qilin Corps was on the edge of undeveloped regions, and in fact, the Qilin Mountain Range itself had just been developed.
