No need to dispute.
No need to fight.
There are not so many twists and turns.
"I'm truly too fortunate."
Chen Jichuan felt content and grateful.
...
The bustling Fire Dragon Cave Market lasted for over a month, only gradually returning to its usual appearance after the tournament concluded and Tainan Valley opened.
It remained lively.
But the previous clamor and restless rhythm slowly faded away.
Chen Jichuan carried on as usual.
Outside his cultivation sessions.
He wandered leisurely around the market, surveying numerous loose cultivators with basic knowledge of alchemy and artifact refining, observing their talent, character, and other traits. From among them, he selected six to take under his wing, appointing them as Fire Stoking Children.
When navigating the Dao Fruit World, Chen Jichuan often needed to meditate. Many pills and magical treasures were constrained by this requirement, preventing their refinement.
