Chapter 347: Swallowing Earth Fire Again, Pill Fire Advances

Chen Shen stood to the side, not daring to take a deep breath, smiling without speaking.

Whatever he said would be wrong. He certainly did not want Liu Yuer to become as fierce as his sister-in-law in the future. He liked the gentle Yu'er, not the domineering Yu'er. This kind of thing could not be said to her face, and he certainly could not tell Yu'er not to be like that—he still understood the principle that it would backfire.

Liu Yuer's face was full of admiration as she said, "In the future, I want to be as formidable as Sister-in-law too. Chen Shen, what do you think?"

"Oh, oh, oh."

Chen Shen felt bitter inside, but on the surface he could not say anything else—whether he agreed or objected, it was all wrong.

At times like this, you could not go against them, much less refute them. You had to go along with what she meant, otherwise, you would definitely suffer for it later.

In his heart, he wanted Liu Yuer to stay away from Sister-in-law as much as possible, otherwise she would become like that, and wouldn't his wonderful life be gone? No, absolutely not like that. He absolutely could not let Yu'er get close to Sister-in-law, nor could he let her get close to that Hu Yueer. She should just be herself, not be influenced by outsiders, and not become like them.

Compared to Sister-in-law, the one he was even more on guard against was Hu Yueer. Chen Shen warned sternly, "Yu'er, don't get too close to Hu Yueer from now on. That woman is no good—she definitely won't behave herself."

Liu Yuer nodded, "I know, I'm not a fool. Can't I see whether she's good or not? Do you really think all these years were for nothing? A mere Hu Yueer—whatever she's thinking can't be hidden from me."

"Chen Shen, I need to remind you, stay away from her from now on. Don't get involved in her affairs, and don't help her either. Don't go foolishly rushing up to her—careful or Sister-in-law will beat you up."

She needed to properly warn her man: he could not play the good Samaritan, nor should he meddle in other people's family matters. That woman Hu Yueer was no simpleton—he had to be on guard against her.

Chen Shen smiled and said, "I know. Your man isn't a fool. I've seen all kinds of women, and I'm very clear about her little schemes. I just don't want those two nephews of mine to have a hard time, that's all."

Liu Yuer nodded. In her eyes, Chen Shen was not someone who understood nothing. He knew these matters very well and was quite skilled at them—otherwise, he would have long been eaten clean by those women in the House of Wind and Moon, and it would never have been her turn.

However, there were some things she still needed to remind him of, lest he get carried away and offend other people for the sake of those two nephews, which would not be good.

The conversation between the two was quiet, audible only to them. Hu Yueer and the others were too far away, entirely focused on their work, no longer daring to threaten Chen Chuyang—not even daring to go up the mountain.

Chen Chuyang was very satisfied with her attitude. This woman had learned to behave. Without a beating, she would not learn to behave.

Freed from Hu Yueer's disturbance, Chen Chuyang began planting Dragon Blood Fruit. He came to where the spirit spring was located, watched the spring water overflowing, and after pondering for a long time, Chen Chuyang decided to plant the Dragon Blood Fruit here. Firstly, the spring water would help the Dragon Blood Fruit take root and sprout, nourishing this seed with spirit spring water to accelerate its germination.

Secondly, he also hoped the Dragon Blood Fruit would take root in Longshe Shan sooner. The Dragon Blood Fruit's grade was too high; in its early stage it needed to sprout, and it was not suitable to fertilize it or let it devour Wild Dragon Snake blood. Chen Chuyang naturally knew this—he could not rush. He buried it beside the spirit spring and waited for the Dragon Blood Fruit to sprout.

The spirit spring water was warm and moist, most suitable for increasing the Dragon Blood Fruit's vitality and spiritual energy. The Dragon Blood Fruit seed given by his mother had abundant vitality, unlike the Fire Element Fruit, which had little vitality and required great effort to cultivate. Chen Chuyang believed that before long, the Dragon Blood Fruit would surely sprout.

Having buried the Dragon Blood Fruit, he infused it with true Qi and simultaneously set up a small Formation to protect it—he did not want it destroyed, nor did he want anyone getting close. Longshe Shan had gained a few more people. As for Shang Hongxue and the others, Chen Chuyang was not worried; they would not easily go up the mountain. The mountain was a forbidden land—without Chen Chuyang's order, no one could approach.

He was just afraid that certain rule-breaking people would sneak up the mountain. This Formation enveloped the spring eye along with it. The important places were all protected by the Formation. As long as someone approached the Formation, Chen Chuyang would know immediately.

After setting up the Formation, Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction. In the spring eye, Silver Spirit Fish were swimming about. Silver Spirit Fish that had grown a little poked their heads out, then quickly disappeared back into the spring eye. These Silver Spirit Fish were gradually venturing outside, adapting to life outside. Chen Chuyang was very satisfied with this. Right now, he had no use for Silver Spirit Fish. When these Silver Spirit Fish multiplied enough, he would harvest them once.

Now was not yet the time to harvest. The number of Silver Spirit Fish was still too few—not even enough for the Chen Clan to use.

Chen Chuyang glanced at the spirit vein's condition. There was no major change—same as before. Without opportunity, it would condense bit by bit and advance bit by bit. Chen Chuyang did not interfere, nor did he intervene.

He walked through all the important locations of Longshe Shan, inspected the situation, and set up Formations. Having done all this, Chen Chuyang felt at ease. He was worried about Hu Yueer and her two companions—one look and it was obvious they would not behave. At the same time, he also had Shang Hongxue and younger sister Chen Qinger keep an eye on the three of them, not letting them go up the mountain and not letting them wander about.

As for Liu Yuer's side, Chen Chuyang also made a point of emphasizing it once more. They all knew, and they were all keeping watch on Hu Yueer.

Third Uncle saw that the matter was more or less resolved and had nothing more to do with him, so he hurriedly took Liu Yuer to attend to important business.

Chen Chuyang instructed Shang Hongxue once more, then stealthily left Longshe Shan. No one knew his whereabouts, and no one knew he had left.

Disguising himself, merging with heaven and earth, he went down the mountain once more. This time he was not going to the Chen Clan, nor was he going to kill anyone. Instead, he came to where the earth fire was located. Having not come for a while, after the earth fire had been sealed, that Formation was still there. Chen Chuyang entered the Formation. The Formation he had set up had not been activated, so he set up several more Formations to seal the earth fire.

This was his territory. If not for being unable to move this mountain of earth fire, Chen Chuyang really would have wanted to move it next to Longshe Shan, making it exclusively his earth fire mountain. Then, using it as a foundation, he would build a room for forging artifacts and refining pills, harnessing the earth fire so he would not need to worry about flame and consumption issues.

This volcano was very large. Seeing it again, Chen Chuyang gave it a try but failed to move it. The true Qi required was too much, and the commotion too great—it was not suitable to act now. After a few attempts, he had to give up.

Unable to move it, he jumped into the volcano, his entire body submerged in magma.

Comprehending fire methods, his body devoured flame. Countless earth fire elements surged into his body. Pill Fire released its restrictions, devouring without limit.

Pill Fire emitted a joyful vibration. Absorb, absorb—however much came, that much was absorbed. The color of Pill Fire's flame became even deeper, and Chen Chuyang's body was also transforming.

This step was very difficult.

The transformation was slow.

One month's time quietly passed.

The temperature of the earth fire had weakened a little.

Chen Chuyang had already been submerged for a month, his body glowing red. His body, burned by the earth fire, showed no signs of collapsing.

That mass of Pill Fire had already completed its Advancement.

Having devoured the Red Moon Fox Fire and the earth fire, the energy of both was thoroughly digested. Pill Fire's color grew deeper, and its grade rose another level.

Chen Chuyang was very excited about this.
