The reason Chen Tianwen didn't let Liu Sanxian improve his aptitude was mainly because the immortal herbs Chen Tianwen found in the secret realm were all of a very high level.

The elixir being refined is beyond Liu San's current Immortal strength, so we can only help him advance to the Golden Immortal realm first before making further plans.

While it's true that it's best to improve one's aptitude and innate talent as early as possible, there's nothing that can be done now. The effect might be slightly less, but the impact shouldn't be too significant.

Moreover, without Chen Tianwen's help, Liu San would have had a hard time even dreaming of advancing to the Golden Immortal realm. But now that he has obtained Chen Tianwen's elixir, Chen Tianwen feels that it is only a matter of time before Liu San advances to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It's not impossible for him to reach the level of a Celestial Lord; as for what comes after that, it all depends on Liu San's fate.

For three days, Chen Tianwen stayed in the secret room to guard Liu San. Liu San finally refined all the elixirs and his strength reached the late stage of Golden Immortal!

As Liu San experienced the unprecedentedly immense energy within his body, he couldn't help but feel a moment of disorientation.

Moreover, Liu San also discovered that he now had an extraordinary affinity for the power of laws, all thanks to the elixir that improved his aptitude and physical constitution.

Liu San knelt down before Chen Tianwen again, his attitude extremely respectful!

The favor of being granted the pill was like being given a second life, and Liu San's kneeling this time was truly heartfelt.

Chen Tianwen waved his hand and said to Liu San:

"If you do a good job in the future, you'll definitely get your share of the rewards."

Liu San nodded in agreement, then stood up and stood respectfully beside Chen Tianwen.

Chen Tianwen also walked out of the secret room. Calculating the time, he figured that Xishui City should already be under his control by now.

Chen Tianwen also prepared to fulfill his promise and help the elders of the Xianlan Sect and Qingyun Sect refine immortal pills and artifacts.

Of course, there were also those rogue cultivators who followed Chen Tianwen, and those whose attitudes were still wavering, but who also wanted to ask Chen Tianwen for help.

...

At this moment, Bu Huo City was in an unprecedented frenzy of celebration, with a large number of immortals pouring into the city just to catch a glimpse of Chen Tianwen's prowess.

There was also a master alchemist and a master artifact maker who, having heard of Chen Tianwen's deeds, traveled hundreds of millions of miles to Bu Huo City, just to see for themselves whether Chen Tianwen was truly as miraculous as the legends said.

However, when these alchemists and artifact crafters saw Chen Tianwen multitasking, refining high-level elixirs while simultaneously crafting top-tier artifacts, they were all shocked.

Every time Chen Tianwen opened his furnace, a Daoist aura flowed through it, clearly indicating that the elixirs and artifacts he refined were of the highest level. This attracted many alchemists and artifact makers who came from afar to apply to join Bu Huo City, hoping to follow Chen Tianwen and receive his guidance.

These people believed that with guidance from a master like Chen Tianwen, their skills in alchemy and weapon crafting would surely improve significantly.

Chen Tianwen accepted all their requests and had Liu San arrange the registration.

Meanwhile, while Chen Tianwen was refining pills and weapons, he also continued to instruct those Great Luo Golden Immortals who had obtained immortal pills and weapons to go to the surrounding cities to expand the influence of Bu Huo City.

Two months passed quickly amidst this tense atmosphere.

Chen Tianwen also fulfilled his promise, refining elixirs and magical artifacts that satisfied all the Great Luo Golden Immortals who came.

Those who received Chen Tianwen's favors all went back and spread rumors about Chen Tianwen's character and abilities. In no time, Chen Tianwen's reputation soared in the Changtang region.

Those Grand Luo Golden Immortals who joined Chen Tianwen's camp have been frantically expanding their territories in the past two months, and now there are more than a dozen cities under Chen Tianwen's jurisdiction.

Just like with Ding Kangning, Chen Tianwen appointed whoever conquered a city as its lord, which boosted the enthusiasm of these Great Luo Golden Immortals to an unprecedented level!

Inside the living room of the city lord's mansion.

"Look at you, always trying to be strong. You must be exhausted after these past two months, right?"

Qin Zhiruo nestled close to Chen Tianwen, and although she was complaining about him, her words revealed her deep concern.

Chen Tianwen smiled. Although he had been working tirelessly for the past two months, it had greatly enhanced the reputation of Bu Huo City, which would be a great help to his future development of power. Therefore, Chen Tianwen did not feel tired.

For the sake of those Xuan Tian Realm people who will ascend to the Xuan Immortal Realm in the future, Chen Tianwen felt that it was all worth it!

"My cousin sent a message saying that they have returned to the sect, and my father is furious because of what happened to me."

As Qin Zhiruo spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

Chen Tianwen patted his forehead. These two were so busy that he hadn't even gone to see off the elders of the Xianlan Sect when they took their leave. Only now, after hearing Qin Zhiruo's words, did Chen Tianwen remember.

"You're just being ridiculous. When your father finds you, he'll definitely hang you up and spank you!"

Chen Tianwen couldn't help but tease Qin Zhiruo as she prepared the dish, and lightly patted her alluring, pert breasts.

Qin Zhiruo blushed, but still stubbornly said:

“My father is not as bad as you.”

Chen Tianwen laughed heartily, about to continue teasing Qin Zhiruo, when he suddenly heard a dry cough, which startled him.

"Ahem, Brother Chen, it seems I've come at the wrong time!"

Ao Xing appeared in the living room with a smile on his face and began to speak.

Chen Tianwen stood up somewhat awkwardly, while Qin Zhiruo looked at Ao Xing with a shy expression.

"Not at all, Brother Ao, please forgive my poor performance."

Chen Tianwen cupped his hands in greeting to Ao Xing, inviting him to sit down and speak.

"Brother Ao? Brother Tianwen, when did you get an elder brother who is at the Immortal Lord level?"

Qin Zhiruo sensed Ao Xing's powerful aura and could tell that Chen Tianwen and Ao Xing seemed to have a good relationship, so she asked directly.

Chen Tianwen introduced Qin Zhiruo and Ao Xing to each other, and Qin Zhiruo was slightly surprised to learn that the person in front of her was actually the domain lord of Changtang Domain.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianwen's relationship with the Domain Lord was so good that they could be considered brothers.

"Brother Chen, you're quite the ladies' man! It's only been two years, and you've already won the heart of a beauty. Unlike me, I've been single for hundreds of thousands of years!"

Looking at Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo, Ao Xing couldn't help but tease them again.

Chen Tianwen knew Ao Xing's temper and knew that if he continued, he would only be teased by Ao Xing again, so he changed the subject and said:

"Brother Ao, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Ao Xing waved his hand and said:

"I dare not give orders, but if I don't come soon, I'm afraid my position as the Lord of Changtang Domain will be merely nominal."

Chen Tianwen knew what Ao Xing was referring to: of the more than fifty cities in the Changtang region, he had already occupied more than a dozen!
