Resources Acquired, Breaking Through to the Golden Immortal

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"This is too hilarious!"

"It's been so long since I heard such juicy gossip."

"Big bro, why aren't you laughing?"

"Are you unhappy?"

Happy?

How the hell could I be happy?

If Chen Tian had just fought someone openly—even if it involved murder and arson—Chen Chang'an wouldn't be this frustrated.

But what did Chen Tian do? Nothing decent, just a bunch of underhanded, shameless tricks.

No wonder the Jiuyun Immortal Sect is fine—it wasn’t some deep-seated grudge. The only thing people hate is the name "Chen Chang'an" itself.

Humiliating!

So damn humiliating!

Chen Chang'an hadn’t done a thing, yet he was already burdened with this mess. He could already imagine the looks he’d get when those people saw him.

"That damn bastard."

"How can he be so shameless?" Chen Chang'an fumed.

"Big bro, since when do you call others shameless?"

"But honestly, you two are cut from the same cloth. If you were him, you’d probably do the same."

"Big bro, don’t you see? You two actually have some similarities," Da Huang said with a grin.

Similarities? If that’s the kind of similarity, I’d rather not have it!

"Yi Tuo, what are you spacing out for?"

"You haven’t reacted at all since earlier. What’s on your mind?" Da Huang gave Yi Tuo a puzzled look.

"Heh heh heh!"

"This is so funny—they even drugged someone."

Huh?

Yi Tuo’s words made Chen Chang'an and Da Huang freeze. Wasn’t that the first thing they talked about earlier?

How long had it been? Only now did it react?

Was its reaction speed seriously this slow?

"Yi Tuo, did you zone out after just hearing about the drugging?"

"Did you even hear anything after that?"

"I heard, I heard."

"Wait, let me think. I haven’t figured out why you guys were laughing yet."

"I’ll laugh once I get it."

Hearing Yi Tuo’s words, Chen Chang'an sighed. Emotions weren’t something that just came with intelligence or memories.

Yi Tuo could talk and laugh, but it was still different. Like just now—it saw Da Huang laughing but didn’t understand why.

It took so long to process that by the time it got the joke, the Sect Master of Jiuyun Immortal Sect had already left.

It wasn’t slow—it just lacked emotions. It wasn’t a living being. Things like human feelings and desires? It didn’t have them. It was just learning, just mimicking.

"Heh heh heh, I figured out the second joke."

"Da Huang, I—"

"Huh? Da Huang, where are you going?"

"Big bro, don’t leave, I got it now!"

Chen Chang'an returned to his room and began cultivating using the resources given to him by the Jiuyun Immortal Sect.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Chang'an finally broke through to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm!

"This is way too wasteful!"

"How many resources does it take just to sustain my cultivation?"

The Sect Master of Jiuyun Immortal Sect wasn’t stingy—especially with Chen Chang'an. He had given a considerable amount.

Even so, Chen Chang'an had used nearly 70% of it just to barely reach Golden Immortal Realm.

And now, it felt like the energy he needed had multiplied by hundreds.

"Will the resources in Liuyun Domain even be enough for me to reach Celestial Immortal Realm? Or even Immortal King?"

Shaking his head, Chen Chang'an decided it was more urgent to find the Law Fragments first.

He went to the Sect Master of Jiuyun Immortal Sect, but after only two months, there was still no news about the fragments.

"Could treasures like these be in the hands of powerful experts?"

"Is that why they’re so hard to find?"

The Sect Master’s words made Chen Chang'an frown. Based on what he knew of Chen Tian, that bastard wouldn’t make things this straightforward.

Chen Tian knew his thoughts, and he could guess some of Chen Tian’s—that’s what made this tricky.

Would Chen Tian do the opposite of what he expected? Or would he make him think he was doing the opposite?

"If these fragments were with the top experts in Liuyun Domain, it’d actually be easier—there are only so many of them."

"But what if they’re with some nobody?"

"Or even a beggar on the street?"

"How are we supposed to search the entire Liuyun Domain?"

Chen Chang'an’s words stunned the Sect Master. "Since it’s something left by you, Senior, shouldn’t you have some kind of connection to it?"

Connection? If I had that, would I even be asking?!

"Forget it. I’ll go out and try my luck."

"If you hear anything, let me know immediately."

"Of course. Here’s our Jiuyun Immortal Sect’s communication jade. Take it with you, Elder Supreme."

"Got it."

Chen Chang'an didn’t stay at the sect. After all, Law Fragments wouldn’t walk to him on their own.

"Ugh, big bro, aren’t we just born to work?"

"Either searching for something or on the way to search for something."

"I don’t get it—the Law Fragments aren’t like the Life Pearls. Why couldn’t he just give them to you directly?"

"Does making you search for them make him look cooler or something?" Da Huang grumbled.

"I don’t really understand his reasoning either."

"Maybe he just doesn’t want things to be too easy for me."

"Whatever. Let’s just treat it as sightseeing."

"We’ll walk to Skypride City. Maybe we’ll stumble across something along the way."

Walk there?

"Big bro, do you know how far that is?"

"Do you know how long that’ll take?"

"It’s exhausting."

"Pfft, what are you tired for? I’m the one walking!" Yi Tuo shot a disdainful look at Da Huang, who was riding on its back.

Da Huang glanced down at Yi Tuo but ignored it, then turned to Chen Chang'an, who was riding on his back.

"Big bro, there’s plenty of space on this turtle shell. Just sit anywhere."

"Don’t you think our formation looks… weird?"

Right now, Yi Tuo was carrying Da Huang, who was carrying Chen Chang'an. It was an eye-catching sight—just in a bizarre way.

"Stop complaining. Yi Tuo, time to show off your skills."

"Charge!"

"You got it, big bro! Charging now!"

Yi Tuo’s four stubby legs spun like wheels, kicking up dust as it dashed forward.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, are you okay?"

"Someone, please help my grandpa!"

"Please—"

"Holy—!"

"Grandpa, wake up! Open your eyes and look!"

"There’s a giant turtle! And it’s carrying a dog! And the dog’s carrying a man!"

"Grandpa—"

"Stop—stop pounding my chest! I’m not dead yet!"
