Chapter 2370 Having My Own Plans
Having learned the whole story, Chen Qingyuan looked at Lu Hansheng with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Your mouth! It'll cause trouble sooner or later."
"I'll definitely pay attention next time."
Lu Hansheng chuckled sheepishly.
Anyone with eyes to see could tell that Emperor Taiwei only refrained from causing any real harm to Lu Hansheng because of Chen Qingyuan's influence; he merely issued a warning.
"Like me, being a little low-key is not a bad thing."
Chen Qingyuan spoke earnestly.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Qingyuan.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, which was somewhat strange.
Aren't you ashamed to say that?
Everyone admired Chen Qingyuan's shamelessness in lying through his teeth.
If Chen Qingyuan is considered to be acting in a low-key manner, then there are very few high-profile people in this world.
"Yes, I understand."
Others might show disdain, but Lu Hansheng certainly couldn't. He nodded emphatically, adopting a humble and eager-to-learn attitude.
hypocritical!
Everyone looked at Lu Hansheng's actions with disdain.
For the next period of time, Chen Qingyuan and others gathered together to chat, with occasional laughter, creating a warm atmosphere.
"Have you gained anything from your seclusion all these days?"
After the conversation ended, Rong Che became curious about it.
"The harvest was minimal."
Chen Qingyuan remained calm, shaking his head and speaking softly.
"There are no more opportunities to attain enlightenment in the Divine Continent. Don't you want to go to the Chaotic Sea of Boundaries to seek an opportunity?"
Rong Che didn't understand why Chen Qingyuan had been staying in Shenzhou. Could it be that he wasn't ready yet?
"I have my own plans."
Chen Qingyuan did not want to reveal the supreme Dao that formed its own unique path for the time being.
The matter was accomplished in secrecy and should not be discussed further.
"Ah."
Sensing that Chen Qingyuan was unwilling to elaborate, Rong Che naturally didn't press further.
"Old Wang, come here."
After catching up, Chen Qingyuan got down to business.
"what?"
Wang Taohua, who was standing to the side, cast a surprised glance at her, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked over.
"You should give me half a medicinal herb."
Chen Qingyuan stated his intentions directly.
"I didn't bring it with me."
The Chaos Elixir was too precious, so Wang Taohua kept it in the old soil.
"We've studied this for so long, shouldn't that be enough?"
Chen Qingyuan and Wang Taohua looked at each other.
"almost."
Despite studying the precious medicine for many years, there were still some things that Wang Taohua couldn't grasp, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't achieve them, so she had to give up.
"That's fine."
Chen Qingyuan will need to rely on external forces to move forward.
At this level, even top-grade sacred medicines are of little use. Only this supreme Dao medicine, imbued with the rules of chaos, might be able to produce some miraculous effects.
Wang Taohua: "Right now?"
Chen Qingyuan replied solemnly, "Hmm."
Although the Chaos Elixir was extremely precious, Wang Taohua willingly gave it to her: "Alright."
Back then, when Mu Cangyan's avatar attacked the old land, Chen Qingyuan sensed the danger in advance and did his best to protect her.
Such affection is more precious than any treasure in the world.
Having returned to Qingzong, we cannot leave in a hurry.
Stay for more than ten days to catch up with old friends and chat with relatives.
After that, they set off for the Imperial City.
There were only three people on the chariot.
Chen Qingyuan, An Xiruo, and Wang Taohua.
The rest of the people stayed in Qingzong for the time being, living a peaceful and tranquil life.
Lu Hansheng originally wanted to follow, but the image of himself being suppressed by a single finger involuntarily appeared before his eyes, and he felt scared, so he gave up.
During the journey, Wang Taohua and Chen Qingyuan sat facing each other drinking tea. Wang Taohua asked a question: "What are your plans for taking half of the Daoist herb?"
Chen Qingyuan succinctly stated: "Cultivation."
"What I mean is, do you intend to use this to challenge for the throne?"
Wang Taohua pressed for details.
"The realm of the Emperor's Way is no easy feat."
Chen Qingyuan shook his head, indicating that he had no such idea.
To think that one can break through the shackles and reach the supreme realm of the Supreme God with only half a Daoist herb is nothing short of a fool's dream and utterly unrealistic.
Even a complete Chaos Dao Medicine could not possibly achieve this.
"The divine bridge has collapsed, and order has crumbled. No matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to attain enlightenment in the Divine Continent."
Wang Taohua hoped that Chen Qingyuan could reach the top.
Once Chen Qingyuan succeeds, his close friend and confidant will share in his glory, and it will be entirely beneficial for him.
Then he added, "If you want to emulate the era of three emperors reigning together, the prerequisite is a stable order. As it stands, there is no such opportunity."
When the conversation turned to this serious matter, Wang Taohua looked worried. In his view, Chen Qingyuan had no other choice but to go to the Chaotic Boundary Sea to seek an opportunity.
Chen Qingyuan said calmly, "Let's see!"
"I'm still counting on you to get revenge, so don't stop here."
Wang Taohua harbored a deep grudge against Mu Cangyan, but knowing she was powerless to avenge him, she placed her hopes on Chen Qingyuan.
"If you really want me to succeed, then show me something tangible. Talking about it is useless."
Chen Qingyuan's words were a clear indication of his intentions.
Wang Taohua certainly understood: "Uh..."
"I wonder if this half-plant of the herb will have any effect."
Just as Wang Taohua didn't understand, Chen Qingyuan pointed it out directly.
Sure enough, you still had this in mind.
Wang Taohua rolled her eyes and snorted, "Old Chen, you're too greedy!"
"What do you mean by greed? This is for the sake of safety. Only by refining a complete Dao herb can its full potential be realized. If it is divided, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced. What if, at the crucial moment, it is just a little bit short?"
Now that the matter has been brought to the forefront, Chen Qingyuan no longer concealed anything, making his intentions clear.
What will you offer in exchange?
Although the Chaos Dao Medicine was quite remarkable, it couldn't enhance Wang Taohua's strength. From the beginning, he had intended to give the entire Dao Medicine to Chen Qingyuan, so as not to waste it.
Of course, Wang Taohua wasn't going to give it away for nothing.
"I will avenge you in the future."
Chen Qingyuan promised.
"That's it?"
Wang Taohua was not very satisfied.
"Isn't this enough?"
Chen Qingyuan countered with a question.
Wang Taohua: "I think it's a bit lacking."
"Old Lu got tricked by you, and I haven't even settled the score with you. That's enough, there's no need for us to hold grudges."
The group rode in war chariots and headed straight for the Imperial City.
There's a saying in the secular world: even close brothers should keep clear accounts.
Since there was still plenty of time on the road, and she had nothing else to do, Wang Taohua didn't mind chatting with Chen Qingyuan a bit more and haggling over the price.
"If you say that, it's really hurtful."
Chen Qingyuan sighed softly, feigning sadness.
When it comes to acting skills, Wang Taohua has never been convinced by anyone.
The two bantered back and forth, making their journey quite amusing.
An Xiruo watched this scene, smiling silently.
......
Dizhou, old land.
After traveling for many days, we have arrived here.
After Chen Qingyuan's heartfelt explanation, Wang Taohua agreed to give him the entire herb plant as a gift.
Once Chen Qingyuan possesses sufficient strength, he will avenge Wang Taohua. Furthermore, someday in the future, within the limits of his abilities, he must fulfill one more request of Wang Taohua.
