Senior Sister, So What?

"Hmph!"

Senior Sister Su Yun huffed lightly and disappeared like fading mist. In a flash, she appeared in front of Chu Chen. Her right palm pushed Chu Chen's chest with incredible strength.

"Senior Sister, this habit of touching other's chest is not a good one," Chu Chen retorted casually as he quickly spread out his spiritual consciousness. His entire world slowed down. The flow, cycle, and pathing of Su Yun's spiritual energy within her body were all clearly displayed before him.

Chu Chen gathered a surge of complete opposite reverse force on his chest.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the impact force undid Senior Sister Su Yun's hair along with her jade hairpin. Her entire body was sent flying backwards by Chu Chen's defensive force for several hundred feet, crash landing pitifully on the ground with a look of utter disbelief.

'How is that possible? I'm a mighty internal disciple yet I'm harmed by the defensive force of a trash from the outer circle?'

She was an expert at the sixth level of the Spiritual Droplets Stage and he was the legendary weakling that had been perpetually stuck at the second level of the Spiritual Mist Stage. Somehow, she was sent flying after she pushed him?

Su Yun climbed back on her feet pathetically while adjusting the roiling Qi within her body, having looked at the teenager as though she had witnessed a monster.

"Considering Senior Sister Su Yun had always been taking care of Tong Meng, I won't hold up my end of having you leave the sect. Please take care, Senior Sister." Having said that, Chu Chen turned around and departed.

Only Su Yun was left dumbfounded where she was, unable to accept reality. After some time, she finally muttered, "He's just blessed with incredible strength. What else can he provide for Junior Sister Tong Meng? He has nothing."

Su Yun tried to reinforce her belief that Chu Chen's existence would have brought no benefit to Tong Meng.

When Chu Chen returned, he finally noticed Tong Meng had been back with a few fresh and plump rabbits in her hands. A warm and gentle smile once again crept onto his face.

"Eh, where's Senior Sister Su Yun?" Bi Xia, who was dressed in green looked at Chu Chen curiously.

"Oh, she said she'll be back in later." Chu Chen tried to take the ingredients off Tong Meng's hand, but was rejected. "It's fine. Brother Chu, today I want to try making something for all of you. You don't have to help."

"Hehe...I've never tried Senior Sister Tong's cooking before." The girls got excited as well. "Bah, Senior Sister Su Yun is so boring. Just leave her be. Oh yeah, today is Senior Sister Tong's birthday. Where's the gifts? Don't wait until after her birthday!"

"Yes, that's right! I'll go first. Senior Sister Tong, look at this." Zi Yan got excited immediately and took out an exquisite sandalwood box. She presented it to her, exclaiming, "Senior Sister Tong, come see what gift I've got for you!"

"What's this, something precious?" Tong Meng rolled her eyes. When she opened the box, a faint aroma filled the room as an exquisite red colored jade bottle stood before their eyes.

"Wow, it's Phoenix's Blood Tears! This is the absolute best rogue in the mortal world!" Beside her, Bi Xia immediately screamed in excitement, "Stupid girls! You actually prepared such a nice gift. Hehe, luckily mine is not bad either. Senior Sister Tong, look!" Having said that, she took out a clear blue colored jade orb from her pocket. That orb was blue throughout with a translucent body. It was perfectly clear. If one looked carefully, faint waves could be seen inside it, as though it had a mini ocean within.

"This is the Deep Jade Bead that is unique to the sea floor of the Western Great Sea in the western seas. It contains natural water spiritual energy, able to nurture your skin. If you carry it with you all the time, it can improve your complexion and give you eternal youth. This will let Senior Sister Tong stay young and beautiful forever! Hehe."

"There's mine too." Xue Yue, who was dressed in pink would not let herself be outdone. She took out a rustic bronze mirror. "This is the treasured mirror that is said to have been used by Fairy Leizu of XiLing, spouse to the legendary Yellow Emperor. Senior Sister Tong must take good care of it."

"Thank you, thank you...you guys...it's already wonderful for you to come visit me. There's no need to spend so much." Tong Meng shot a flustered look at them, struggling to hide the smile on her face.

"It seems I'm back at the right time." Just while everyone had been laughing, a sound came from the door. Tong Meng turned around and noticed Senior Sister Su Yun's prideful figure approaching with a small white porcelain bottle in hand.

Chu Chen's gaze turned slightly serious. This girl was quite something. Just earlier, she had been in such a pitiful state, yet she managed to recover in such a short time with nothing seemingly out of the ordinary.

Senior Sister Su Yun approached and passed the bottle to Tong Meng. "I don't have anything nice as a gift for Junior Sister Tong Meng for your birthday. Please take these three consciousness nurturing elixirs as my gift to you."

While Su Yun was speaking, she shot a glare at Chu Chen. Her intentions were clear. 'You can't even afford the things I give her by selling yourself. If you know what's best for you, leave Tong Meng's side."

"It's elixirs! Level-2 elixirs!" Seeing that, the girls were all in a state of shock. Although their gifts were precious, they were all things from the mortal world. Some could even be bought with money.

However, elixirs were a different story. To the disciples, no matter how expensive something was from the mortal world, it had only been for entertainment. The truly important things were still elixirs, cultivation methods, magical weapons, magical treasures, and so on. After all, those things could only be obtained via spirit stones. It was something that money could not buy.

Consciousness nurturing elixir was a level-2 low grade elixir. Its function was to help nurture a person's spiritual consciousness. Not only had it been rare, it was also treasured. This type of elixir was the most expensive aside from elixirs that directly increases one's mental strength and soul power.

Just one of these elixirs would have gone for over a dozen spirit stones. Even the internal disciples would have found it difficult to have come across such a treasure, yet Su Yun had given away three of them just like that.

"This is such an expensive item, how can I…" Tong Meng was dumbfounded. That little white porcelain bottle felt like a ton in her hand. It was over a dozen spirit stones. Chu Chen, as an external disciple, had only managed to save up half a spirit stone after three years. Tong Meng had a better cultivation level, and managed to get more, but the difference was not much.

Majority of the outer and inner circles carried out their transactions with spirit stone fragments. Very rarely would they trade with a full piece of spirit stone. To them, that dozen of spirit stones had no doubt been an incredible and priceless treasure!

"Junior Sister Tong is a rare talent. You're the only one who can fully utilize the effects of these consciousness nurturing elixirs. Please keep it." Seeing the expression on their faces, Senior Sister Su Yun nodded satisfyingly. The next moment, she seemingly looked to Chu Chen and asked, "Oh, what present did Junior Brother Chu prepare for Junior Sister Tong this time?"

In a single sentence, the entire room's atmosphere changed.
