Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Allies
Within the grand hall, the fire blazed fiercely, and the wine flowed freely.

Wei Xiong had just drunk two bowls of spirit rice wine when his face turned a bright red, and his eyes began to look bewildered.

Then, he collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Chen: “Uh.”

Even an Innate Martial Artist with a poor tolerance for alcohol couldn’t be that weak.

If such a situation were to arise, the only possibility was…

Wang Chen quickly found the two crane-shaped pots and put them into his Storage Bag.

Both Enchanting Fairy Pots were his spoils of war, one from a Traveling Merchant and the other from the Taize Three Friends.

Previously, they had been tucked away at the bottom of his chest.

This time, to deal with Lv Defang, Wang Chen had specially taken them out.

Earlier, when he was cooking porridge, roasting meat, and brushing sauces, it was all done to mask the smell of the Bewildering Smoke with the aroma of food.

The result was that Lv Defang had truly been affected!

Of course, thinking that such a thing could take down a Cultivator with Complete Qi Cultivation was like a fool’s dream.

Wang Chen wanted only to create a slight influence on a powerful enemy.

To create an opportunity to strike!

Lv Defang, in his carelessness, lost an eye.

This laid the foundation for Wang Chen’s subsequent victory!

Unexpectedly, he had forgotten to put away the pots and had even knocked out Wei Xiong.

This thing was indeed pretty fierce.

Wang Chen hurriedly took out a Sobering Pill, crushed it, and stuffed it into Wei Xiong’s nostrils.

The Sobering Pill had a strong effect in invigorating the mind and was also one of the universal antidotes for Bewildering Smoke and fragrances.

Wang Chen, having planned to use the Enchanting Fairy Pot against Lv Defang, had of course prepared the antidote in advance.

Otherwise, knocking himself out would have been a huge joke!

“Achoo!”

Under the stimulus of the medicine, Wei Xiong suddenly woke up.

But the moment he opened his eyes, the fierce aura he revealed almost gave Wang Chen, who was close at hand, the illusion of facing a wild beast head-on.

Such an aura could not be cultivated without having taken the lives of at least a three-digit number of people!

However, Wei Xiong immediately realized there was a problem.

He quickly subdued it.

Wang Chen said apologetically, “Brother Wei, I am truly sorry, I forgot to put away the Enchanting Fairy Pot.”

Wei Xiong knew exactly what the Enchanting Fairy Pot was.

He responded ashamedly, “You’ve made a fool out of this Immortal Master.”

This Innate Martial Artist had not expected that he too could be affected by a bewitching fragrance!

It was mainly because he had great trust in Wang Chen, so he hadn’t been the slightest bit vigilant before.

And in fact, Wang Chen had not betrayed that trust.

Otherwise, given the situation just now, if Wang Chen had had any malicious intentions, ten Wei Xiongs would have been reduced to ashes on the spot!

“There is no need for formalities between you and me.”

Wang Chen poured another bowl of Spirit Rice Wine for Wei Xiong: “Let’s continue drinking!”

He had specifically invited Wei Xiong to help deal with Lv Defang after careful consideration.

Firstly, it was to ensure the definite downfall of the enemy, not giving this formidable opponent a chance to escape.

One must understand that in this battle, Wang Chen knew himself but not his enemy.

His understanding of Lv Defang was merely superficial.

The spells and Magic Artifacts held by this Cultivator with Great Perfection in Qi Cultivation, and the abilities he possessed,

Wang Chen could say he knew nothing of!

Despite his confidence in winning the battle, wanting to completely stop Lv Defang was a whole different matter.

Wang Chen would not underestimate his opponent.

In such a scenario, the role of a powerful ally became significantly pronounced.

Wang Chen thought of Wei Xiong at the first opportunity.

He had only this choice!

Although Wei Xiong was just an Innate Martial Artist, his combat strength was extremely formidable.

Initially, he had, single-handedly snatched a Mysterious Flame Luan egg from others, thereby sending his sister to the side of a True Disciple and himself becoming a Door Guest of the Purple Mansion.

Strength, tactics, and temperament—none were lacking!

Most importantly, Wei Xiong was a man who repaid kindness, far more honorable than many Qi Cultivators and even Purple Mansion Cultivators.

And when Wang Chen requested his help,

Wei Xiong agreed without hesitation, without even asking about the specific identity of the opponent!

His willingness to help was certainly a factor in repaying Wang Chen.

But such magnanimity and soul strength were undeniably impressive.

Wei Xiong’s performance did not disappoint Wang Chen.

That dazzling spear thrust at the critical moment secured the victory!

Wang Chen hadn’t forgotten how, after the spear pierced the heart, Wei Xiong retreated cleanly and efficiently.

He stood outside in the wind and rain.

Only after Wang Chen had dealt with Lv Defang’s aftermath and heard the summons did he re-enter the grand hall.

If such a person wasn’t worthy of trust, then who was?

Secondly, Wang Chen also wanted to establish an alliance of mutual support with Wei Xiong through this collaboration.

The two did not need to interact frequently, just maintain regular information communication and exchange.

Yet in critical moments, they were each other’s most reliable support!

Moreover, choosing Wei Xiong as an ally had another advantage for Wang Chen.

It was that Wei Xiong was not a cultivator and couldn’t accurately assess his level of strength.

In front of the other, it didn’t matter much if he occasionally revealed some secrets about his cultivation.

Wei Xiong was not the type to be overly curious or unable to keep his mouth shut.

Now that they had killed Lv Defang together, such a solid alliance was indeed firmly established.

“Cheers!”

The rim of their bowls clinked, raising bits of froth in the spirit rice wine.

Wang Chen and Wei Xiong both drank up at the same time!

Although they didn’t go through the formalities of beheading a chicken, burning yellow paper, or swearing brotherhood.

How could that kind of formal camaraderie compare to the ironclad friendship forged in battle, fighting side by side, conquering powerful foes!

After drinking two gourds of wine, they shared a pot of spirit rice porridge and grilled beast meat.

With a full stomach, Wei Xiong took his leave first.

His current status was special, and he could not stay away from Cloud Mountain City for long without permission from his master.

Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome.

Before leaving, Wang Chen handed Wei Xiong a Storage Bag.

With Lv Defang dead, his gains for the evening were substantial, and of course, those present deserved a share!

Wang Chen was not one to hoard all for himself.

Wei Xiong was a bit surprised, instinctively wanting to refuse.

After all, Wang Chen had already given him a full fifty Essence Blood Protection Talismans.

That reward was already enough for Wei Xiong.

He had fired only one shot, after all.

But Wang Chen knew his weak spot, “For little sister Lotus.”

The words Wei Xiong was about to utter were forcibly swallowed back.

Once Wei Lian began Qi Introduction to become a cultivator, she would need limitless cultivation resources.

To him, it didn’t matter, but his sister’s future was most important.

So he accepted Wang Chen’s kindness!

After seeing off Wei Xiong, Wang Chen too began his journey home.

His steps were especially light.

The wind and rain outside had already ceased, the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and a bright moon illuminated the earth.

Wang Chen returned home through the underground passage as usual.

But when he arrived at the secret chamber on the third underground level, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

“Squeak, squeak!”

On the desk in the chamber sat a big white rat with fur whiter than snow!

Upon seeing Wang Chen, the big white rat stood on its hind legs and bowed its paws in a gesture of respect.

Its bright eyes seemed capable of speaking.

Just like the first time they met last year!

“Bai!!”
