Chen Yan gave a bitter smile and said in a low voice, "But our world is not the Domain Realm after all. Our world does not need me to fight or anything; the cultivation technique left by the old lady unfortunately lacks a method to cultivate the primordial spirit. She probably didn’t want me to go to the Domain Realm but hoped I would stay in this world and enjoy peace and prosperity safely."
Gu Qingyi was stunned when she heard this.
After a long time, she sighed again and softly said something she had said several times in recent days.
"Your world really is... very beautiful."
Gu Qingyi not going to Port City made Chen Yan feel somewhat surprised.
Moreover... He always felt that Gu Qingyi’s attitude was somewhat peculiar, as if she was withholding something in her words.
Chen Yan suspected that the reason she did not accompany him to Port City must be something else—only Chen Yan couldn’t guess, and Gu Qingyi definitely wouldn’t tell him.
This woman’s attitude towards him was quite subtle all night, and she went back to her room to rest early.
That night, Chen Yan, for once, did not slack off but stayed in the training room.
Although he spoke of enjoying peace and prosperity, Gu Qingyi’s words did stimulate Chen Yan.
He practiced the "Primordial Energy Version of the Six Meridian Divine Sword" for two hours in the training room, then repeatedly practiced two spells he had recently learned.
Until after three in the morning, Chen Yan sat in the training room, meditating and transporting primordial qi, cultivating several times.
As usual, he transported the primordial qi; once the primordial qi entering the body reached its capacity, he used the ring to input more primordial qi, one in and one out, increasing the number of times transporting primordial qi.
The ring left by the old lady was still like a bottomless pit, able to absorb the primordial qi Chen Yan input—no matter how much he input, its capacity seemed limitless.
Unfortunately, up to this day, Chen Yan couldn’t figure out if this treasure had more uses.
He had two other treasures considered magical artifacts.
One was the half candle left by the old lady. Unfortunately, after Brother Xiaohai’s departure, this candle was of no use.
This thing, Brother Xiaohai had mentioned its name as "Li Huo Candle."
Gu Qingyi had also helped Chen Yan inspect this half candle. Although she wasn’t skilled in spells or artifact creation, coming from a prestigious family in the Domain Realm, she had the vision.
Gu Qingyi told Chen Yan that the Li Huo Candle was a magical artifact of the Ghost Race in the Domain Realm, capable of summoning ghost fire, which is something cultivators walking the ghost cultivator path use to cultivate.
It’s akin to how ordinary cultivators need heaven and earth primordial qi; ghost cultivators, only having heaven and earth primordial qi is not enough; they need to ignite ghost fire to temper the spirit body.
For ghost cultivators, ghost fire is a highly nourishing substance.
Sadly, this thing is not particularly useful to Chen Yan—unless Chen Yan self-destructs, abandoning the physical body to cultivate a spirit body, then he could use this Li Huo Candle.
The last treasure is the alchemy furnace gifted by You Su Yi.
However, Chen Yan doesn’t understand alchemy; the booklet left by the old lady only has some introductory and scientific explanations about alchemy techniques, without detailed Chapters.
Gu Qingyi mentioned that the Ghost Race isn’t skilled in alchemy. Probably, the old lady herself was not very knowledgeable in this area either.
This alchemy furnace is temporarily useless to Chen Yan.
Moreover, fundamentally, Chen Yan has no interest in alchemy—he disliked chemistry classes when he was in school.
Gu Qingyi had also inspected this octagonal alchemy furnace and said that the material used to forge it is thunder stone.
Chen Yan had read about "thunder stone" in the old lady’s secret manual, saying it’s a stone struck by thunder, refined by the heavenly fire of thunder, making it an excellent material for crafting alchemy furnaces.
Gu Qingyi also told Chen Yan that this octagonal alchemy furnace should be made of top-grade thunder stone and from the residual aura on the furnace, she deduced that its previous owner used it to make pills, using the inner core pill fire of demon cultivators as assistance.
Moreover, the inner core pill fire of a Celestial Human Realm demon cultivator!
Because only demon cultivators of the Celestial Human Realm can shed demonic qi, with their pill fire containing no demonic qi—such inner core pill fire can be used to assist in alchemy.
And this octagonal alchemy furnace, having been tempered by the inner core pill fire of a Celestial Human Realm demon cultivator, makes the already top-grade thunder stone material even more refined, making it exceptionally sturdy!
At least in this world, it is hard to find anything that can damage it.
This thing can be operated simply with a mantra, allowing it to switch between a pocket size and normal size.
In its pocket size, it roughly becomes as small as a finger.
In its normal size, it stands about a meter high.
Although Chen Yan can’t perform alchemy, he has developed a use for it—as a storage equipment.
The internal space of the alchemy furnace is roughly the size of a suitcase.
After stuffing items inside, you can shrink it and carry it around. When enlarged again, the contents can be taken out.
Though unable to learn alchemy, using it as storage equipment proves somewhat useful.
Chen Yan plans to take it to Port City this time, to retrieve the old lady’s safe deposit items and bring back as much as possible.
With this octagonal alchemy furnace as storage equipment, he won’t need to worry about transporting gold, jade, and other items through customs.
However, Gu Qingyi previously whimsically told Chen Yan about another use for this octagonal alchemy furnace.
