Chapter 220: Chapter 98: Divine Descent Talisman (6500 words)_3

"You can use it to hit people."

When Chen Yan heard Gu Qingyi say this at the time, he fell silent.

Actually... it wasn’t that he wasn’t tempted.

He could control its size changes, and when he had it in his hand, as long as he threw it at the enemy and instantly enlarged it!

This thing was made from a top-grade Thunder Stone, and according to Gu Qingyi’s estimation, when it returned to its normal form, it weighed about three tons!

That’s the weight of an SUV.

If used to hit people...

The style just wouldn’t look good.

The Heavenly King Li Tota carried a pagoda to hit people. Would Mr. Chen the Benefactor carry a furnace to hit people?

Heavenly King Li Tota vs. me, a mere blacksmith?

Besides, this thing wasn’t truly an offensive magical treasure and didn’t have a corresponding offensive spell.

To use it to hit someone, he would have to purely rely on eyesight to aim, and it didn’t have any function to trap the enemy.

Unless he later improved his cultivation, refined it again, and transformed it into an offensive magical treasure.

By then, maybe Chen Yan could become Chen the Furnace King.

On the afternoon of the next day, Chen Yan, Chu Keqing, and their assistant Xiaocai, walked out of Port City airport.

Chen Yan carried a simple backpack, pulling a rolling suitcase in his hand.

The winter in Port City was much warmer than in Jinling Prefecture, with temperatures around 20 degrees. Before landing, Chen Yan had already shed his thick down jacket and sweater, and changed into a long-sleeved sweatshirt.

Following Chu Keqing out of the arrival gate, their female assistant Xiaocai walked out first and had a brief discussion with a middle-aged man holding a sign outside.

"A friend of mine from Port City sent his driver to pick us up," Chu Keqing explained to Chen Yan, "This friend is a businessman here and also serves as the vice president of a local cultural exchange association. He couldn’t come to pick us up this afternoon because he had something to do, so he sent his driver.

Earlier, I asked him to help me investigate the situation regarding my Third Senior Brother. He’ll come to the hotel tonight to meet us and share the latest information."

Chen Yan nodded in acknowledgment, following along as they walked out of the airport and boarded a black business car.

Chu Keqing was a wealthy woman, and her travel standards were not low.

The flight was first class, and they were staying at the famous Peninsula Hotel in Port City.

This place was traditionally favored by Port City’s elite. Though it had fallen somewhat out of favor recently—mainly due to newer luxury hotels with more modern facilities—it still maintained its luxurious standards and had a renowned reputation.

Upon arriving at the hotel, they checked in and found that Chen Yan and Chu Keqing’s rooms were deliberately arranged to be opposite each other on the same floor.

Chen Yan went to his room, set down his luggage, tidied up briefly, and washed his face. Then he heard a knock at the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Chu Keqing standing outside. It seemed like she had touched up her makeup and changed into a long-sleeved sweatshirt, giving off a sporty vibe.

Chen Yan was momentarily stunned upon seeing her.

This woman had always given him the impression of deliberately adopting a traditional appearance, often wearing a fitted cheongsam while outside and a white robe at the academy.

It seemed that these conservative, traditional attires were meant to create a composed, serene, and high-minded persona.

But suddenly wearing a casual sporty sweatshirt made Chen Yan a bit unaccustomed to her new look.

Well, it was a different kind of charm.

Seeing Chen Yan’s scrutinizing and somewhat surprised look, Chu Keqing smiled slightly and explained softly, "Senior, in Jinling Prefecture, I dress like that to maintain the persona of ’Elder Zi.’ Here, I’m not very well-known, so I don’t need to wear those clothes."

"Uh... it looks nice."

Chen Yan nodded, stepping aside to invite Chu Keqing in, "Weren’t we supposed to meet your friend in the evening? Is there something you need to talk about now?"

Chu Keqing walked into Chen Yan’s room, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and said slowly, "There is some new information. My friend just called me about it."

Chen Yan nodded, "What is it about?"

"It’s about my Third Senior Brother’s aftermath."

Chu Keqing’s expression turned serious, "My Third Senior Brother died in a fire. He was staying at a woman’s house that night. Initially, the information my local friend managed to get was a bit rough, but his recent findings uncovered something more, regarding that woman."

Chen Yan handed Chu Keqing a bottle of mineral water from the room and opened one for himself, "Is there a problem with the woman?"

"It’s not that there’s a problem with her, but her situation is quite bad."

Chu Keqing took a sip of water, "The woman also survived the fire but was injured and hospitalized. What’s strange is that she’s been in a coma ever since and hasn’t woken up.

My friend learned that although the woman didn’t suffer any fatal injuries or any external injuries that might cause a coma during the fire.

So, her continued comatose state is very suspicious. The hospital suspects that she might have been shocked into a coma by the fire—but this explanation is quite unsatisfactory.

Furthermore, my friend just received information... the hospital said her condition is a bit complicated and suggested that, if possible, we should get there as soon as possible..."
