Chapter 117: Surprise, I Leveled Up!
Their reactions were priceless.
After pulling out the Golden Bamboo seeds from my storage ring, I could barely contain my grin as Han Wei and Li Na tilted their heads at the small, unassuming seeds in their glass display. I explained my quest to revive the long-lost species, and how I’d been entrusted with their cultivation. The way their eyes widened told me all I needed to know—they were impressed.
But the real fun began when I brought out the Two-Star Pagoda Pill Furnace. The moment it appeared, I could see the curiosity in their expressions, but that curiosity quickly shifted to something else as I tried to explain the nuances of its operation.
“See, the furnace is designed with a dual-layer qi compression system that allows for more precise temperature control during refinement,” I began, my enthusiasm barely contained. “And the thousand-page manual it came with is crucial for understanding the full range of its capabilities—”
Their eyes glazed over almost immediately.
I tried not to laugh as they nodded along, clearly lost somewhere around the mention of “dual-layer qi compression.”
Li Na shot Han Wei a glance and he just shrugged, looking just as bewildered.
I sighed, deciding to spare them further details. “Basically, it’s a really advanced pill furnace. Way more efficient than anything I’ve used before.”
“That’s…nice, Kai,” She managed, though I could tell she was still trying to process everything I’d said. Han Wei just gave me a thumbs up, clearly out of his depth.
