I’m Writing a Diary in a Fantasy World — I Really Am Not a 'Cao Thief'! Chapter 44.1 : A Gift (Part 1)

After the al, maidservants once again brought in spiritual fruits.

After such thorough hospitality, Chu Ge felt both physically and ntally refreshed. It was clear that Shui Qianrou had made full preparations to entertain him, the personal disciple of the Sacred Lord.

In just half a day, Chu Ge had already grown familiar with the three won, and the foundation of their relationship had begun to take shape.

He had also gained a deeper understanding of them.

Shui Qianrou hailed from the Shui Clan, a cultivation family of considerable standing.

Though it could not compare with an immortal force like Taihuang, its scale was far from small, and it had produced more than one powerhouse of the Eighth Heaven realm over the generations.

mbers of the Shui Clan had cultivated at Taihuang for generations, and from ti to ti, clan mbers even served as elders within the sect.

By the ti it ca to Shui Qianrou, she had risen to independently govern an entire peak as its Peak Master, and moreover held the crucial post of Pavilion Master of the Spirit dicine Pavilion.

She herself had achieved the Great Power realm at barely over a hundred years of age, and in addition possessed profoundly deep alchemical attainnts.

She was of the sa generation as Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian, though sowhat younger, and her relationship with both of them was quite good.

Among the most outstanding figures of Taihuang Sacred Land a hundred years ago, Shui Qianrou had been one of them.

Over the past thousand years, the Shui Clan had maintained steady growth, and in Shui Qianrou's generation, there were even signs of imminent soaring ascent.

As for the Lu sisters, they too were born into a cultivation family. The Lu Clan, in both strength and scale, was nearly on par with the Shui Clan.

However, compared to the Shui Clan, which was steadily advancing with faint signs of takeoff, the Lu Clan had shown signs of decline in recent years.

For several hundred years now, the clan had not produced a single Eighth Heaven realm venerable to preside over it.

When the topic turned to their family, both sisters grew sowhat downcast, faint traces of sorrow surfacing in their expressions.

Clearly, it was not rely the decline of the family—there had to be deeper reasons hidden beneath.

Chu Ge did not probe further. After all, today was only their first real eting; once they beca closer in the future, the two would naturally not hesitate to bare their hearts.

As the afternoon arrived, it was finally ti for the true purpose of Chu Ge's visit today.

Following Shui Qianrou, the two entered a spacious room, and Chu Ge was imdiately greeted by a dense fragrance of pills.

It was clearly Shui Qianrou's usual alchemy chamber.

Shui Qianrou first handed Chu Ge a storage ring.

"Inside this ring are the rewards granted to you by the Sacred Land. From the First Heaven to the Sixth Heaven, all types of pills you may need are contained within."

"However, after learning that you had already broken into the Third Heaven realm early, I took it upon myself to refine so additional pills for realms above the Third Heaven as well."

Shui Qianrou said this with a smile.

Chu Ge sent a strand of his divine sense into the storage ring.

At once, he saw rows of neatly arranged bottles and jars. Inside each rested pills of varying sizes, all crystal-clear, with radiant light hidden within.

Upon closer inspection, many of the pills even bore mysterious, profound patterns upon their surface.

These patterned pills—whether in clarity or the brilliance concealed within—far surpassed the others.

Perfect-grade pills!

Every single bottle contained at least supre-grade pills, and there were not a few that had reached perfect quality!

Earlier, Su Lingyuan had told him that the pills awarded by the Sacred Land were usually of middle or upper quality, with supre-grade being quite rare.

Yet today, what lay before Chu Ge was entirely beyond his expectations—no upper-grade at all, only supre-grade and perfect-grade!

In an instant, Chu Ge grasped Shui Qianrou's intentions.

Though this was under the Sacred Land's directive, Shui Qianrou had no need to go to such lengths. She could easily have refined a batch of middle- and upper-grade pills as had been done in the past.

Even if, considering Chu Ge's identity and his contributions, she put in a bit more effort and refined upper-grade and so supre-grade pills, that alone would already have been more than sincere enough.

But what she had delivered… was perfection.
