Chapter 233: Did You Take the Wrong Thing?

Zhao Gongming had already paid the bill in a flustered manner before Chen Nuo could even speak after glancing at him lightly.

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "Quite well-behaved!"

"Give me the things you're using."

As soon as the words fell, aside from Bixiao, all the girls rushed forward in a crowd.

"I have the skirt that Turtle Spirit Junior Sister wore in life."

Jin Ling stepped forward first, producing an exquisite and beautiful long dress, claiming it had been worn but looked completely new, with no trace of use.

"I have a comb."

Wu Dang spoke up.

Yunxiao smiled slightly: "I have a hairpin and bracelets."

"I have the trousers of Elder Martial Sister Turtle Spirit."

Bixiao directly uttered something astonishing, waving an indescribable object in her hand as if showing off.

Damn? Awesome!

Chen Nuo's mouth twitched.

He might not obey others, but he obeys this silly girl Bixiao; I don't know where she got this thing.

Turtle Spirit Junior Sister's... Zhao Gongming's eyes bulged, and he instinctively turned to look, only to meet Qiong Xiao's half-smile, not-quite-smile face, carrying a hint of chill.

Zhao Gongming gave a dry laugh and made himself into a shrinking turtle.

"I'll go pay the bill first."

Zhao Gongming hurriedly walked toward the front desk.

After seeing clearly what Bixiao held in her hand, Yunxiao was completely stunned, and then her pure, gentle face was covered in a flush.

"Little sister!

What are you doing!

Put it away quickly!"

Yunxiao snatched it away and stored it properly.

"How dare you take out such a thing to show people?"

She lightly scolded again, her tone somewhat urgent.

Bixiao stuck out her tongue, blinked playfully, and smiled, saying: "Sorry, I took the wrong one."

The speaker meant nothing, but the listener took it to heart.

Chen Nuo: "..."

Even this thing can be taken wrong? Impressive.

But... Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, this mistaken taking—whose glance did he cast, seeing Yunxiao blushing and deliberately avoiding his gaze?

Now I understand.

Nodding, no longer paying attention, Chen Nuo instructed: "Bring all the things up; these should be enough."

"We still need an artifact to host a soul."

"Use mine."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Ling stepped forward directly, producing her own artifact, the Fei Jin Sword.

Turning his head, he said to the few girls who were also about to produce their artifacts: "You don't need to take them out; your artifacts are quite important—just use mine."

Compared to relying on external artifacts, she focuses more on her own strength, so even though she is the first female immortal of the Jie Sect, her artifact is rather ordinary.

It has a rank, but it's weak in power; however, if used solely to host an awakened soul, it's still quite good.

"Shopkeeper Chen, is this acceptable?"

"Yes."

Chen Nuo acknowledged, but inwardly complained, "Good partner—is he raising a sword spirit with me here? Little does he know that sword-system artifacts, especially high-grade ones, are the hardest to give birth to spiritual awareness."

The sharp aura of the sword and soul power are fundamentally opposed; if the sword gains spiritual awareness, it's extremely fragile and will be strangled at the first moment.

Like Yang Chan resurrecting her mother—if it were a sword-system artifact, given Yang Chan's proficiency in divine powers, she would absolutely not succeed.

But he is different—without even mentioning his invincible strength within Chaos Residence, his proficiency in this divine power synchronization after nearly reaching maximum level alone allows him to do it easily.

Chen Nuo directly inscribed several magical incantations onto the artifact—this is a formation that can absorb heavenly and earthly qi to shape a soul.

As the owner of the artifact, Jin Ling's heart trembled.

Shopkeeper Chen can actually inscribe a formation on the sword without disturbing her restrictions in the slightest—however, it's not over yet.

Chen Nuo lightly tapped, and a wisp of azure-blue flame burst from his fingertip, instantly burning several items to ash.

Qiong Xiao's pupils contracted sharply.

This is... this is her Ice-Devouring Cold Flame!

How could this be?!

Bixiao also noticed, unable to hold back: "Isn't this the flame divine power awakened by Second Sister? Why can Shopkeeper Chen also use it?"

Hearing Bixiao's words, Chen Nuo shrugged and said casually: "How so? I can use all the divine powers you've awakened."

All of them!

Upon hearing this,

everyone's breath caught; counting them, they already had seven divine powers.

That is to say, Shopkeeper Chen at least possesses seven divine powers—this is too absurd!

Being able to help others awaken is already heaven-defying, but those who enable others to awaken have already mastered those divine powers themselves.

This isn't just simple heaven-defying!

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Powers—even Holy Persons have strengths and weaknesses in them, showing how difficult divine power cultivation is.

Moreover, it is impossible to transmit through the method of enlightenment infusion, but Shopkeeper Chen not only created so many postnatal divine communications himself, but also enabled them to naturally comprehend through the extraordinary means of eating.

This is something even the Master cannot accomplish!

For a moment, the Jie Sect members, including the watching Ao Ling, felt their reverence for Chen Nuo rise another level in their hearts.

However, they misunderstood one thing.

Chen Nuo fundamentally did not transmit existing divine communications to them, but rather synchronized their awakened divine communications for his own use.

But why would Chen Nuo deliberately explain? Divine force drew, causing the ashes from burned objects to settle upon the long sword.

Divine force was like a thread, continuously connected to the long sword, never severed.

"Alright, wait nine-nine eighty-one days and it will be fine."

Chen Nuo said lightly.

The things of inherited memory, like instinct, will absolutely not go wrong; compared to only Yang Chan who could not move at all, his actions are not restricted.

Everyone exchanged glances, then in unison bowed to Chen Nuo, saying: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for your rescue."

Chen Nuo waved his hand, his expression calm, and said plainly: "Alright, you pay the money, I provide the effort—there's nothing to thank for."

Seeing Chen Nuo like this, everyone felt it inappropriate to continue further, so they each rose to their feet, yet their hearts were filled with respect.

Shopkeeper Chen is just this detached—money, how could it possibly be mentioned in the same breath as this life-saving grace?

It's merely because he fears they might feel too indebted, uneasy in conscience, hence he found this flimsy excuse!

Shopkeeper Chen, what a great person!

"Walk slowly, come often."

Watching the departing backs of the Jie Sect's second-generation disciples, Chen Nuo smiled and waved his hand.

However, his words were mainly meant for Zhao Gongming; just after finishing the Turtle Spirit revival, they ate and drank for a while.

The hot pot ingredients were completely consumed in ten portions; others were fine, but mainly Bi Xiao, who possesses the devouring of the Liu Yuan, ate too much.

An amount equivalent to Zhao Gongming and the several girls combined; if not for the hot pot base being diluted with water until tasteless and unable to be added further, Bi Xiao could likely continue eating.

Moreover, after finishing the soda water, they ordered Peach Blossom Brew, and it was still Zhao Gongzi who paid the bill.

This Zhao Gongming came once and directly spent nearly thirty thousand taels of gold.

No wonder he is the God of Wealth—truly strong!

If only he came every day, that would be wonderful.

Chen Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

"Next comes waiting for eighty-one days to pass; I didn't expect we would have a day to reunite with Turtle Spirit Junior Sister."

Jin Ling's face bore a smile, her mood joyful.

All the girls nodded in unison.

Regarding what Shopkeeper Chen said, they no longer had the slightest doubt.

Shopkeeper Chen says it can be done, then it can be done!

"Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhao Gongming show no reaction, and his complexion rather unpleasant, Jin Ling asked with concern.

Today being able to make Shopkeeper Chen speak, Junior Brother can be considered the greatest contributor!

"Nothing."

Zhao Gongming shook his head; he had just felt a wave of fear, his body trembled, as if bitten by something.
