Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

Chapter 44: Gathering the Qi of Heaven and Earth

Jiang Huan turned her head to look.

He was an old man with a cane, a youthful face and white hair, hunched over, his smile enigmatic, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

Jiang Huan frowned, looked at it for a moment, and then lowered her eyes in thought.

The old man said he had been waiting for her there for a long time, either because he knew she would come, or because he knew she was very likely to come.

It's very likely that this old man knew something about Wanshi Park...

Based on this analysis, the old man knew that he possessed the Heaven and Earth Primordial Pill, which is why he came here to wait until midnight to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and fully digest the pill!

"you are?"

"You can call me Grandpa An."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan suddenly understood.

"Are you An Xin's grandfather?"

Many people knew that she had this pill, since the events at the auction had already been widely reported.

But someone who knows this and whose surname is 'An' is very likely the patriarch of the An family!

“Yes.” Old Master An nodded, then looked up at the time. “Fifth Miss, I came here to wait for you because I wanted to lend you a hand.”

After saying that, he handed a small box, about the size of his palm, to Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan glanced at it and asked, "What is that?"

"Consider this the first gift from the An family's surrender," Old Master An said with a smile. "I would be content if the Fifth Miss would remember the An family a little in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan took the box, played with it for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Since Grandpa An is so sincere, I will naturally keep the An family in mind."

"Then please, Miss Fifth, do it!" Old Master An said with a smile as he sat down on a small rock next to him, his hands resting on his cane, and closed his eyes.

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was taken aback, somewhat confused by Grandpa An's meaning. "What do you mean?"

"It will take me quite a while to get out of here, and I'm afraid it will delay you, Miss. I know what I should and shouldn't ask, what I should and shouldn't see. Please just knock me out, Miss. I assure you that I don't have any cameras or recording devices on me."

After listening to Grandpa An's words, Jiang Huan glanced at him with a mixture of belief and disbelief, and with a flick of her wrist, she had already fired a silver needle.

The next second, Grandpa An was unable to move or speak, but his eyes remained clear.

"Since you know what I'm planning to do here, you must know something. In that case, why don't you take a look too, so you won't have any regrets?" Jiang Huan said with a smirk.

Grandpa An was extremely excited.

If he were lucky enough to witness this scene, he would die for it!

Jiang Huan opened the brocade box that Old Master An had sent from behind.

Under the moonlight, the pills in the brocade box emitted a faint white glow.

"A superior-grade Qi Gathering Pill." Jiang Huan could tell the quality and origin of this pill with just one glance.

This Qi Gathering Pill was made using the 'Qi Gathering and Strengthening Grass' that Ling Siye gave her at the auction, along with several other medicinal herbs.

According to her knowledge, those who refined elixirs were ancient families, and the techniques of alchemy have long been lost in modern society.

This time, the An family's auction not only includes the Heaven and Earth Primordial Pill, but also the Qi-Gathering Grass and the Five Spirits Marrow Cleansing Flower. Now, Old Master An is even offering her a Qi-Gathering Pill... The An family is quite capable!

She was just curious: the An family wasn't an ancient family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so why did they have these things?

Jiang Huan pondered for a moment, and seeing that it was almost midnight, she suppressed her doubts, returned to the center, sat cross-legged, and held the 'Heaven and Earth Primordial Pill' and the 'Qi Gathering Pill' in her palms respectively.

It's twelve o'clock.

Wanshi Park was instantly shrouded in white mist, and the giant rock behind Jiang Huan emitted a dazzling white light.

A wisp of true energy descended from the sky and hovered above her head.

In just a few seconds, true energy enveloped her body, eventually entering her brow and circulating through her meridians.

The two pills in her hand gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the true energy gathering on her body became heavier and heavier.

Although separated by a layer of mist, Grandpa An still witnessed the scene of true energy entering his body, and tears welled up in his eyes with excitement.

What he had spent his entire life searching for was this very scene.

It turns out, it wasn't that he didn't have it, but that he couldn't do it.

At this moment, Jiang Huan closed her eyes, feeling the true energy circulating in her body, tightly enveloping her meridians, and finally converging in her dantian.

Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation as all the pores on her body opened up, and as she slowed her breathing, the true energy in Wanshi Park was absorbed into her body.

As time passed and the thick fog dissipated, Jiang Huan completely consolidated his vital energy and absorbed the primordial true energy of heaven and earth.

what!

Jiang Huan suddenly opened her eyes and guided her true energy to circulate in her meridians. Soon, a powerful energy burst forth from her body, almost knocking the old man sitting opposite her unconscious.

After she calmed down, the thick fog in Wanshi Park dissipated, and all the spiritual energy disappeared at that moment.

Jiang Huan circulated her internal energy and gathered it in her palm. A ball of white energy appeared and danced in her palm.

"Hard work pays off. I can still cultivate in this lifetime, so it's not too bad..." She murmured a few words, a satisfied smile on her face, and withdrew her true energy.

When she carefully examined her dantian, she was surprised to find that she had reached the late stage of Qi Refining!

I never expected that the interaction between the Qi Gathering Pill and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Pill would allow her to break through directly from the beginner stage to the late stage of Qi Refining!

We really have to thank Grandpa An this time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huan stood up, went to the old man An who was weeping uncontrollably, and took out the silver needle.

"Fifth Miss... truly a capable person!" Old Master An suddenly knelt down on the ground, as if he had witnessed something very exciting.

"Grandpa, please don't do this."

Jiang Huan helped Grandpa An up; she now believed he meant her no harm.

After all, Qi Gathering Pills aren't something you can buy just anywhere.

"The Fifth Miss can already absorb the energy of heaven and earth, so she must be able to cultivate... That's wonderful! Although I can't cultivate in this life, seeing such a being truly exists makes even dying worthwhile!" Old Master An said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Judging from what you're saying, Grandpa, the Qitian Hunyuan Pill at the auction, could it be that you were the one who put it up for auction?"

Grandpa An nodded and explained, “It’s me. I found these things when I was young, but no matter what I tried, I couldn’t absorb the elixir. Or rather, I couldn’t sense the energy of heaven and earth at all, and I even doubted the existence of what I had been pursuing for half my life. Until you obtained those three items at the auction, I knew that you definitely knew how to use them. And in the South City, the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy is Wanshi Park. So after that auction, I waited here every night, and finally, my wait was over…”

As he finished speaking, the old man's voice choked with emotion.

Just as Jiang Huan was about to say something, she sensed a murderous aura, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
