Chapter 585 - 182: [Divine Tree Juice’s Side Effects] (2)

Then, Chen Yan took Lu Sisi back to the room, went upstairs, and filled the bathtub in the bathroom for a shower.

As they were almost done, Lu Sisi walked over lightly holding two pieces of clean clothes she wanted to hang on the door handle outside, but she wasn’t prepared for the bathroom door to swing open. Suddenly, a hand stretched out and grabbed her arm, pulling her inside.

Thick steam seeped through the bathroom door gap, mixed with the girl’s soft laughter and playful complaints, but the sounds soon turned into something else...

·

In the evening, Chen Yan lay sprawled out on the bed, while Lu Sisi lay next to him, her long hair gracefully pinned up with a hair clip.

The girl rested on Chen Yan’s chest, playing gently with a strand of his hair with one hand while the other held her phone, browsing a food delivery platform.

"Shall we have some crawfish tonight?"

"No, the delivery crawfish are always too small." Chen Yan pouted. "Let’s get a pizza, with cheese-burst crust."

"Okay." Lu Sisi smiled sweetly and tapped a few buttons on her phone.

In fact, Lu Sisi didn’t really like pizza, nor did she like cheese. But... it didn’t matter. Since Chen Yan liked it, she was willing to eat it with him.

It seemed that as long as Chen Yan wanted to do something, anything, she was willing to be by his side.

Just like the playful antics in the bathroom that afternoon, it wasn’t really to Lu Sisi’s liking, but since Chen Yan enjoyed it, she was willing to indulge him.

Over the last two days, Lu Sisi’s mood and state had been better than ever! The girl looked radiant, her gaze light and spirited.

A repressive family, left behind!

School she didn’t want to attend, no more!

A longing to be with Chen Yan, achieved through cultivation!

And now she was with the person whose heart and eyes were full of her, together day and night.

Lu Sisi felt that perhaps this was the best and most desired state of life.

"After dinner, we’ll do evening practice, meditate and reflect on Primordial Qi for two hours," Chen Yan suddenly gave a light tap on the girl’s perky bottom, "Once you can perceive the sensation of Qi, you can be considered a beginner."

"Got it." Lu Sisi replied with a smile.

Actually... her desire to cultivate wasn’t strong anymore. Because the Bone Forging Pill already had life-prolonging effects—fulfilling her desires.

But it would naturally be better if she could gain some understanding, which would allow her to accompany Chen Yan for a longer time, so Lu Sisi hadn’t really slacked off in her practice.

After dinner, Lu Sisi tidied up the table and kitchen waste, and the girl hopped out the door with a trash bag.

The neighborhood had a waste station not far from Chen Yan’s house, just a hundred meters walk.

Lu Sisi took two black trash bags out of the yard, threw them into the waste station, and after dusting her hands, she was about to turn around and go back when she saw an old man standing by the roadside, squinting as he swayed towards her.

What made Lu Sisi frown was that the old man seemed to be observing her with that squinting look.

His eyes carried a kind of look that she could not read.

It wasn’t the leering gaze of an old pervert, but rather a scrutinizing one.

Being naturally shy, Lu Sisi didn’t glare back; instead, she turned and quickened her steps back home, soon reaching the front door and entering her own yard.

"...A Sealed Spirit Body, not so easy to unseal." Lin Qingquan looked at the disappearing figure of Lu Sisi and shook his head with a sigh, "Using the Bone Forging Pill to strengthen the physique is harmless... but a bit too hasty."

·

At night, Lu Sisi was in the practice room arranged by Chen Yan, sitting cross-legged and meditating, feeling the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan was in another room of the house, concocting with the Divine Tree Juice brought back from the Domain Realm.

In front of him were several jars of high-proof liquor that Chen Yan had directly purchased from a distillery.

Over the past few days, he had conducted several experiments.

At this moment, there were seven or eight glass jars in front of Chen Yan, all with different dilution concentrations, each containing some Divine Tree Juice.

After several days of testing, he roughly figured out why Gu Jinjia had told him at the time that the Divine Tree Juice needed to be diluted with high-proof liquor, and at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for one thing—back when he encountered the Wooden Bowl, fortunately, she gave him to drink with an unknown multitude of times diluted Divine Tree Juice! If the Wooden Bowl had given him the raw juice at that time, it would have likely caused big problems.

The Divine Tree Juice was the sacred substance of the Fierce Beast Race, also known as the Shepherd Tree Race before they betrayed the Domain Realm.

And the magical effect of the Divine Tree Juice had a special transformation.

Before the Fierce Beast Race betrayed the Domain Realm and were still the Shepherd Tree Race, this race could also cultivate Divine Trees and extract Divine Tree Juice.

But at that time, the effect of the Divine Tree Juice wasn’t as extraordinary as it is today.

During the Shepherd Tree Race period, the tree sap produced by the Divine Trees was merely regarded as a precious healing elixir, which, when ingested, had excellent healing properties, promoting wound healing and bodily recovery.

The effect couldn’t be considered poor, but it was just somewhat better than the Bone Pill.

This level of effectiveness was valuable to the practitioners of the Domain Realm but was just that.

After the Shepherd Tree Race betrayed the Domain Realm and became the subsequent Fierce Beast Race, large fields of Evil Spirit Trees appeared on both the east and west sides of Evil Land Mountain, forming extensive forests along the mountain range’s sides. Due to the Evil Spirit Trees, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were drained away, forming a rare ’unspiritual land’ within the Domain Realm.
