Sun Ergou, in particular, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Give me directions to Wu Jianming's location, and how long has he been here?" Fang Chen asked, holding Zhang Han in one hand.
"Immortal... he has been here for... one year... two months."
Zhang Han was suspended in mid-air, so he had to close his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly.
"One year and two months? How is that possible?!"
Fang Chen was startled.
Han Li arrived in Jiayuan City a year after Wu Jianming came, and now two months have passed, which means...
Han Li should have arrived in Jiayuan City two months ago, but he hasn't arrived yet. What's going on?
........
Half an hour later, Fang Chen stood on the city wall of Jiayuan City, holding the Yin-Yang Warm Jade in his hand, his brows furrowed.
Could it be that my arrival has caused a deviation or change in the plot here?
Or perhaps it's interference from the will of heaven and earth?
"Originally, I wanted to get Han Li's little green bottle from him, but now I can't find him..." Thinking of this, Fang Chen was a little disappointed. Han Li was known as Han the Runner, and the world of Mortal Cultivation was extremely vast.
Once he starts running, where am I supposed to find him?
The fact that the Yin-Yang Warm Jade is still there indicates that Han Li's poison has been cured and he no longer needs the Yin-Yang Warm Jade.
"It seems I must expand my influence and have these people continue to gather information for me." Fang Chen secretly made up his mind. Now that he was certain that Han Li would not come to Jiayuan City, he would have to go find him himself.
"Ergou, intensify your intelligence gathering efforts and expand the scope. I'll equip you with five hundred of those firearms. I need to get information about this person!" In the Siping Gang's main hall, Fang Chen looked at the respectful Sun Ergou in front of him and gave the order.
"Yes, Immortal."
"Remember to keep a close eye on the surrounding states and try to find out about the Heavenly Mist Terrace Ascension Conference!" Fang Chen added as Sun Ergou left.
......
Time passes.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The world of Battle Through the Heavens.
Wasteland base.
Fang Chen sat in the lounge, engrossed in studying the Burning Technique.
"Your Majesty, this is a nourishing soup made by Wan'er for you. Please try it." A beautiful figure walked in from outside the door.
It was Qiao Wan.
At that moment, she held a small enamel bowl in her hand, and a rich aroma spread out, instantly filling the entire lounge.
"Thanks a lot."
Fang Chen looked up at Qiao Wan, his nose twitching, and said, "It smells so good."
"Your Majesty, you are busy cultivating all day long. Your health is important. You should rest more." Qiao Wanmei's eyes were full of concern, and she smiled, looking very happy.
Having practiced the combat techniques given to her by His Majesty, her battle qi increased by 2 stars in just half a month!
All of this was given to me by Fang Chen.
She pondered how to repay His Majesty, having nothing of value except her prized culinary skills.
Her years of traveling through the world of martial arts have transformed her from a pampered young lady into a much more composed person, showing significant growth in her interpersonal skills and other aspects of life.
"Wan'er, I never expected your cooking skills to be so outstanding!"
Fang Chen took a sip of the soup, his mouth instantly filled with delicious flavor, and he sincerely praised it.
"Your Majesty, is it delicious? If it is, Wan'er will make it for you every day from now on!"
Hearing Fang Chen's praise, Qiao Wan blushed and twisted the hem of her clothes.
"OK!"
Fang Chen nodded. He hadn't tasted such delicious food in a long time.
He provided Qiao Wan with combat skills and resources, and she cooked for him; it was a kind of exchange.
After all, constant cultivation can be quite tedious.
All he wanted was to live a life of unbridled pleasure and indulge in all the finest delicacies on the path to immortality!
"Alright, you should also work hard to improve your strength and go cultivate! If you need anything, I'll have Number 1 call you!" Fang Chen finished his soup in a few gulps and said to Qiao Wan, who was clearing away the dishes.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wan left happily.
......
"My cultivation has reached another bottleneck. Should I consume a Dragon Essence to help it?" On this day, Fang Chen had just finished his cultivation when Number 1 came in to report.
"Commander! The research results are in!"
