Chapter 556 - 175: [Lost Its Power?!]_3
Although he took a Bone Pill, Chen Yan still felt the pain in his body. He recalled the several pounds of Divine Tree Juice hidden in his backpack.
This substance has miraculous effects; it not only enhances the physique and strengthens the body but also restores fatigue and heals injuries.
Thinking this, he seemed to plan to open his backpack—if it doesn’t work, maybe taste a couple of drops?
Golden Armor observed this and seemed to guess Chen Yan’s intention, sneering, "If I were you, I wouldn’t dare drink Divine Tree Juice here."
Chen Yan held his hiking bag, thought for a moment, then asked Golden Armor, "How should one consume the Divine Tree Juice?"
Golden Armor looked at Chen Yan, surprisingly lost in thought for a moment before sighing, "Oh well, since we fought a battle together, I’ll tell you."
Then Golden Armor said quietly, "Mix it in wine."
Chen Yan: "...Huh?"
"Just mix it in wine." Golden Armor’s tone was self-assured, as if he wasn’t the person who tricked Chen Yan before: "Prepare two big jars. Then get high-proof liquor. Add one drop to each bowl of strong wine.
If you seek flavor, you can also soak rare medicinal herbs in the wine—oh, adding a Demon Race Inner Core can enhance the effects."
"One drop per bowl?" Chen Yan nodded and took note of it.
Suddenly remembering in the mountain cavern, Golden Armor hid inside stealthily. Before him clearly sat a jar filled with Divine Tree Juice, yet he was too lazy to look, directly reaching out to the Divine Tree to stretch out a root...
Obviously, that root seemed rather strange—could this thing be far more valuable than several pounds of Divine Tree Juice?
"What about the thing you cut off, how should I use it?" Chen Yan asked.
Golden Armor sneered, "You don’t know and you just steal like me? You brother, you have no rules."
Chen Yan wasn’t angry, smiling as he asked.
"Same, mix it in wine." Golden Armor shook his head sternly, "But this time I owe you a great favor, tell me how I should repay you."
"Then give me the piece you cut off? Hmm? No? Then half of it? A third? A quarter?"
Golden Armor’s grin was fierce: "Except for this piece! This thing comes at the risk of nine deaths. My main task for this trip to Evil Land Mountain was to..."
Chen Yan nodded.
"But Fellow Daoist, when I was fighting in the mountain’s cavern, I saw you cut and pulled out a section, and even took out a small piece of tree core?"
Chen Yan’s eyes brightened!
The tree core!
"Is this thing very valuable?"
Golden Armor examined Chen Yan for a while before laughing, "Not really."
Pausing, he continued, "But it does have some value. This thing is hard, absorbs a large amount of Primordial Qi, then feeds back. It can be used to make magical artifacts."
Golden Armor said, dissatisfied, "This thing... hey? Fellow Daoist Wang Chuyi, why do you look like that?"
At this moment, Chen Yan interrupted Golden Armor, suddenly recalling something, glancing down, and his face instantly turned ghostly white, his eyes filled with shock, horror, and even a hint of dread!

It’s because, when Chen Yan woke from his injury-induced coma, he hadn’t had time to remember, nor had he looked...
At this very moment, Chen Yan lowered his gaze, his eyes fixed on his wrist...
On his wrist, the figures used for counting down the [Seven-Day Transfer Time]...
Had suddenly become: 0:00:00
Chen Yan was horrified!
Was the seven-day transfer time up?!
When did it happen?!
Was it during his injury and sleep?!
...
But if the seven-day transfer was supposed to end, why hadn’t it occurred?!
Chen Yan’s shock was no ordinary matter!
Unable to transfer? Doesn’t that mean he can’t return home?!
Instantly, a chill surged in his heart!

Outside the girls’ dormitory.
Around seven o’clock in the evening.
Lu Sisi returned from the library, holding two books in her arms, her posture and steps looking quite light.
She rarely walked alone, without female classmates or roommates alongside her.
Just as she reached the dormitory entrance, suddenly she saw a boy walking briskly from the side.
Lu Sisi focused her eyes on him and immediately showed a hint of impatience—he was the one who acts ’sentimental’.
This boy quickly approached Lu Sisi, his hand holding a plastic bag, a slightly flattering smile on his face, taking out a cup of milk tea from the bag to hand it over.
Lu Sisi tightly pursed her lips, stepped back with a stern face.
"Sisi..."
"Using excessively affectionate titles when there’s no appropriate relationship is very rude and uneducated behavior."
Lu Sisi’s tone was extremely cold, her eyes flicking to the milk tea in the boy’s hand.
"Well, I was thinking you’d be tired from studying in the library, might be thirsty, so I..."
Lu Sisi shook her head: "Don’t waste time here with me, senior."
"I, I’m just giving you a cup of milk tea, not bothering you more. Anyway, you could see it as showing care for a classmate."
Lu Sisi’s expression showed increasing impatience, glancing around—at this hour, near and far from the girls’ dorm, many couples were bidding farewell.
"All of them are classmates, are you going to care for them all, senior?"
Seeing Lu Sisi’s words were colder than anyone else’s and her attitude unlike the usual gentle and soft-spoken demeanor, the boy felt embarrassed.
"...Oh come on, just accept it!"
The boy seemed slightly panicked, thrust the milk tea into Lu Sisi’s hand, ready to turn and run.
But Lu Sisi merely blocked what he handed over with one arm, while the other almost instinctively pushed his arm aside.
However, in the next second, Lu Sisi was stunned.
With just a flick, the boy fell straight to the ground, already lying there, wailing in pain.
"My arm’s broken!!"
Lu Sisi stood beside the boy, squatted down and examined him closely, shaking her head: "Senior, your arm isn’t broken, it seems just dislocated."
Saying this, Lu Sisi patted the boy’s shoulder, stood back up, prepared to leave.
"How come my strength has become so great..."

Transfer function not working?!
At that moment, Chen Yan felt discomfort in his chest, forcing himself to calm down first.
Chen Yan took out the Ring, slowly examining it in his hand.
