Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 779 - 781: The Mysterious Heavenly Mansion

Chapter 779: Chapter 781: The Mysterious Heavenly Mansion

“Old Master Chen is considerate.”

Xia Liu knew exactly what Chen Tian’en was thinking.

But now that his hidden ailment had been cured, he figured he wouldn’t have such thoughts anymore.

At least not in the short term.

“You cured my hidden ailment. You are a benefactor to the Chen Family. When I came out, I had already asked my family to prepare. You need cultivation resources, and I will provide all of the Chen Family’s cultivation resources…”

“Old Master Chen, please don’t say that. Although I do need cultivation resources, I won’t accept them under these circumstances.”

Xia Liu interrupted Chen Tian’en.

“This…”

“The Chen Family is home too, and there are many more Martial Artists than in my village. The resources accumulated over these six months are enough for them for several years.”

Now, Xia Liu was no longer so desperate for the Martial Artists’ cultivation resources.

If Chen Tian’en had spirit stones, he would definitely not be so polite.

“Ah, you say that, but I don’t know how else to repay this kindness.”

Even the cultivation resources that Xia Liu was most concerned about were no longer needed, and Chen Tian’en really couldn’t think of anything else to offer Xia Liu.

“I am actually in urgent need of many stones like this.”

As he spoke, Xia Liu, moved by Divine Sense, took a supreme grade spirit stone into his hand.

“Is this a Void Nether Stone?” Recognizing the stone in Xia Liu’s hand, Chen Tian’en asked in the professional terminology of a Martial Artist.

“Yes, I really need it. If Old Master Chen knows where to find it, please let me know.”

“Ah, my good friend mentioned it to me years ago, but unfortunately, other than the Lingyun Mountain Range, I don’t know where else it can be found.”

The production of Void Nether Stones in the Lingyun Mountain Range is a well-known fact in the Huaxia Warrior Realm.

Chen Tian’en knew it, and so did Xia Liu.

Thus, there was nothing Chen Tian’en could do to help Xia Liu in this matter.

“I see, understood. Just keep an eye out for me, Old Master Chen,” Xia Liu nodded.

Martial Artists do not use spirit stones in their cultivation, so it’s understandable that they pay no attention to them.

Fortune is something that cannot be rushed, and Xia Liu could not force anything.

For now, he decided to just collect the cultivation resources at hand.

Under Chen Tian’en’s watchful gaze, Xia Liu swept all kinds of resources from the drawer into his storage ring without discrimination.

Watching the cultivation resources vanish into thin air, Chen Tian’en struggled to suppress the turmoil in his chest.

He shouldn’t have been shocked.

But he was inevitably astonished; Xia Liu’s cultivation system was truly formidable.

Chen Tian’en asked no questions, and of course, Xia Liu offered no explanations.

He always mentioned that friend; it seems that his friend was also a Cultivator.

Some things are better understood than spoken; speaking them aloud could lead to awkwardness.

After securing the cultivation resources, the drawer snapped shut immediately, the cabinet moved back to its original place, and the counter was restored at that moment.

The slot that held the token gradually dimmed, eventually losing all light.

Picking up the token, Chen Tian’en gestured for Xia Liu to leave first.

On the grand road to the Heavenly Mansion Headquarters, Xia Liu was utterly perplexed. Who was behind the Heavenly Mansion?

From what happened today, it was evident that there was another force behind Heavenly Mansion.

“Old Master Chen, although I am now the chieftain of Heavenly Mansion, I still have to come here to collect monthly resources. Who grants them to me?”

“Actually, I was just as puzzled as you years ago,” Chen Tian’en replied in detail.

“Did you find any clues in the end?”

“In the end, I was just as puzzled as you are now…”

…

Hearing Chen Tian’en’s response, Xia Liu looked baffled.

As the conversation progressed, Xia Liu increasingly sensed that something was amiss.

Back then, Chen Tian’en had been led by the previous Heavenly Mansion Chief.

The predecessor, too, didn’t know who provided their cultivation resources.

As for the resources of other Heavenly Mansion members, they were also collected by the Heavenly Mansion Chief.

In the same location, in the same manner, the only difference was that the resources for other members were distributed once a year, which was sufficient to meet their needs for the year.

Behind the counter, Chen Tian’en did not know who was present.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Nor did the previous Heavenly Mansion Chief.

Chen Tian’en, having just assumed his role, was quite impulsive back then, and thus he ignored the advice of the previous chief.

He forcefully entered behind the counter, intending to explore what mechanisms there were.

However, he hadn’t even reached the entrance when he was blasted back out of the hall by a surge of Qi Force.

At that moment, a voice floated out, “This will not be tolerated again.”

The voice was filled with anger and even more so with chilling murderous intent.

There was also a mix of impatience and helplessness.

After that incident, Chen Tian’en never again entertained any curiosity.

After all, holding the position of Heavenly Mansion Chief was enough.

With resources at his disposal and a respected and sacred status, he was truly a Martial World Supreme, revered by warriors all over.

Why invite his own destruction?

Of course, this was something only the Heavenly Mansion Chief knew.

The other members were utterly unaware.

After all, the Heavenly Mansion operated on the basis of tokens.

Xia Liu was not currently considering researching the forces behind the Heavenly Mansion; once he had handled his immediate tasks, he would inevitably investigate thoroughly.

Working blindly for others was not his style.

“Old Master Chen, I’ve now obtained the resources, and I should be heading back soon. For a short period, the Heavenly Mansion will be in your hands.”

Xia Liu spoke bluntly.

“Ah? So soon?”

“It’s not that soon; everyone in the village is waiting for me, and my family is looking forward to my return. I can’t stay away too long.”

“I understand, but it’s just that we haven’t had the chance to properly host you…”

With a hearty laugh, Xia Liu said, “Haha, next time, there are plenty more chances to come.”

“That’s also true. Would you like to visit Yingying?” Chen Tian’en knew he should not ask, but he still felt compelled to.

Perhaps Xia Liu had developed some feelings for his granddaughter.

“That won’t be necessary; I have some business to attend to at the trading post. If you could just see me there, that would be great.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? Let’s head there now.”

…

An hour later, Chen Tian’en watched as Xia Liu entered the trading post, and he could hardly contain his joy. He urged the driver to hurry back home.

The teahouse inside the trading post was bustling, particularly since the incident involving the Young Master of the Liu Family a month ago.

The nearby vendors all had a vivid memory of Xia Liu.

Seeing this fearsome individual today, they almost dropped the products they were presenting to their customers.

“Chief Xia, hello, hello!”

Upon seeing Xia Liu, the little Er at the teahouse immediately greeted him.

He had personally seen how Xia Liu had disciplined Liu Lang, and by now, the whole city was buzzing with the Liu Family’s affairs.

Moreover, everyone knew that the new Heavenly Mansion Chief was Xia Liu!

A Path-Entering Expert under the age of thirty!

He had killed a Path-Entering High-Level and, despite injuries, had repelled two Path-Entering Primary-Levels.

Such prowess was more formidable than any young generation in other lineages, and perhaps the only ones in Huaxia who could stand against him were the Path-Entering Peak Warriors.

“Is Boss Ye here?”

“The boss is in the rest building outside the trading post,” Little Er quickly replied.

“Thanks.”

With a word of thanks, Xia Liu then disappeared into the crowded throng.

Even though he was the Chief of the Heavenly Mansion, most warriors visiting the trading post might not recognize him, as those who could enter the arena to watch fights and participate in feasts were all from noble clans and sects…
