Returning to Humble Peak

Upon returning to Nandou City, Chen An’nian lay silently in his room. Luo Youcai grew increasingly anxious. “Um, Taiqing Pavilion has opened branches in two other cities,” he said.

“Oh.”

“I’ve managed to acquire a few copies of the Bone Tempering Technique that you asked me to purchase.”

“Oh.”

“Shall we have a meal?”

“Oh.”

...

Luo Youcai couldn’t bear it any longer and lifted Chen An’nian from the bed.

“Chen An’nian, what’s wrong with you?” He exclaimed.

“After being away for fifteen days, I come back without a trace of spirit. Don’t you have anything to say?”

Chen An’nian wanted to cry, but how could he express it?

Should he say that he won’t be able to complete the Forging Bones anymore?

Or should he mention that his main source of spirit stones has vanished, and once his current supply runs out, he’ll have to rely on Taiqing Pavilion for meager amounts of high-grade spirit stones to sustain his cultivation?

It was truly heartbreaking.
