Having returned to Linchuan, Li Chen quickly adjusted his mood.
He knew better than anyone that some things just couldn’t be forced. Since the relic had disappeared, there was no need for him to dwell on it any longer.
What mattered was what he had gained.
And his gains were by no means small.
Although he didn’t acquire a Golden Core, these Silver Elixirs were not to be underestimated.
Li Chen had personally experienced the potency of these Silver Elixirs, which could even surpass the Pills refined from Sacred Herbs in the Miao Village.
After finishing his Cultivation Qi session, Zhong Tian let out a long breath, preparing to take a bath and rest, but suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Eh, Senior Brother? Why have you come?" Seeing Li Chen suddenly appear at his doorstep, Zhong Tian said with some delight.
He was about to give Li Chen a hug but was promptly pushed back by Li Chen’s single hand.
Entering the room, Li Chen looked helplessly at his chubby Junior Brother, "You just finished practicing, didn’t you? It’s one thing for you to be sweaty, but you want to give me a sweat bath too?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhong Tian couldn’t help but become somewhat embarassed, "Have a seat, Senior Brother. I’ll go take a bath!"
The next moment, Li Chen saw Zhong Tian ’struggle’ into the nearby bathroom, and soon the sound of water could be heard.
At that moment, Li Chen suddenly heard a noise beside him.
It turned out the Ginseng Doll had appeared here at some point.
Seeing Li Chen, the Ginseng Doll happily hopped onto Li Chen’s shoulder and began tugging at Li Chen’s hair.
"What’s up, little guy, feeling like eating fish?" Li Chen asked with a smile seeing the Ginseng Doll’s deliberate attempts to be cutesy and affectionate.
Who knew that after hearing Li Chen’s words, the Ginseng Doll actually jumped down from his body, looking at Li Chen with an angry face as if saying, "Am I that kind of person?"
Li Chen looked at the Ginseng Doll, "Okay then, when we go home and stew fish soup later, you’ll pass on it, right?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the anger on the Ginseng Doll’s face disappeared instantly, and it leaped onto Li Chen’s chest, clinging to his clothes with a pitiful expression.
Seeing the little one’s antics, Li Chen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Senior Brother, what’s so funny?" At that time, Zhong Tian also emerged from the bathroom, ’squeezing’ his way out again after finishing his bath.
"Nothing." Li Chen clapped his hands and said, "This time, Senior Brother has brought you something good."
Seeing Zhong Tian come out, the Ginseng Doll immediately leaped from Li Chen’s body and directly jumped onto Zhong Tian’s still somewhat damp head.
"Stop it, I’m talking business with Senior Brother." Zhong Tian grabbed the little one and put it on the ground, then turned to Li Chen curiously asking, "Senior Brother, what’s the good thing?"
Li Chen smiled mysteriously, "You’ll find out soon."
With that, Li Chen took out a specially made medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a Silver Earth Pill from it, and handed it to Zhong Tian, "Eat this, then immediately start Circulating Qi."
Taking the Silver Elixir from Li Chen’s hand, Zhong Tian didn’t think twice before tossing it into his mouth. In his heart, Li Chen was his senior brother, someone who would definitely not harm him, so he had no hesitation whatsoever.
Li Chen, upon seeing Zhong Tian’s carefree behavior, couldn’t help but smile bitterly; thankfully, this guy wasn’t with others. Otherwise, if someone wanted to harm him, he would have been gone many times over.
Soon, a look of surprise couldn’t help but appear on Zhong Tian’s face.
He felt True Qi within his body starting to surge, even the speed at which it circulated had significantly increased. While Circulating Qi, he could clearly sense that his True Qi was continuously growing stronger.
"Senior brother... this...," after a while, Zhong Tian looked at Li Chen in astonishment, because he could clearly feel that his strength had unexpectedly broken through.
After a long time, Zhong Tian finally came to his senses and looked at Li Chen with gratitude, "Senior brother, thank you so much!"
Li Chen smiled and waved his hand, "There’s no need for thanks between us brothers."
At this moment, the Ginseng Doll that had been watching from the side also ran over, grabbing onto Li Chen’s sleeve with a look of expectation on its little face.
It couldn’t speak, but its intention was already very clear.
"Give me one too, will you?"
Li Chen rolled his eyes at the Ginseng Doll, somewhat baffled with whether it was truly a ginseng or a greedy child. The most crucial thing was that this little guy had a sharper sense for good stuff than anyone else.
However, his bond with the Ginseng Doll was one of life-saving camaraderie; he wouldn’t be stingy over a single pill. Li Chen took out another Pill from the bottle and tossed it directly into the Ginseng Doll’s mouth.
The Ginseng Doll opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Pill in one gulp.
Li Chen clearly saw a deep look of intoxication flash across the little guy’s eyes for a moment.
The Ginseng Doll then began to cry out "yiyiya" energetically, even doing a couple of somersaults in the air at the height of its excitement, and then directly dived into the ground, moving back and forth with the ease of freestyle swimming, its expression full of contentment.
Looking at the little guy with some speechlessness, he was by now beyond doubting this little guy was definitely Ginseng Essence. If it weren’t, could it behave ...?
Looking at the Silver Elixir in his hand, Li Chen’s eyes also flashed with a hint of curiosity.
The first time he entered the Relic, Li Chen was not as strong as he was now. Back then, after swallowing a Silver Elixir, it had brought him a significant improvement.
Now that his strength had completely transformed from before, he was quite curious whether the Silver Elixir still possessed such potent effects.
Reaching his villa, Li Chen sat down in his room.
After swallowing another pill, Li Chen slowly closed his eyes.
He felt a rich medicinal power spreading from his abdomen as the pill entered his stomach, permeating his Dantian and from there to his limbs and bones.
Upon entering the Dantian, the medicinal power turned into a heat that, when the True Qi circulated, gradually transformed into the same quality of True Qi.
"It really is great stuff," Li Chen could feel that the medicinal power contained the purest energy, which, after being assimilated by him, transformed into his own strength.
"Sigh..." Opening his eyes, Li Chen couldn’t help but flash a look of surprise. The pill was indeed powerful; his strength had once again broken through.
Even though it wasn’t as pronounced as last time, it was also due to the increase in his strength.
However, the potency of the Elixir had not weakened in the slightest.
Feeling the True Qi inside his body become more robust, a smile inevitably appeared on Li Chen’s face.
