Husband, we’re rich!”
Wen Zhiyun’s face was filled with excitent. She had never seen so much money.
Gu Xinyue was also very excited, but she was only excited inside and did not show it on her face.
Blargh!
Song Huaying could no longer hold it in. She bent over and vomited, vomiting all the breakfast she had this morning onto the ground.
Chen An went over and patted her back. He asked with concern,. “Ying’er, are you alright?”
It’s… it’s fine, Husband. Ying’er will vomit a few more tis… Blargh!
Before Song Huaying could finish speaking, she suddenly vomited again.
Chen An had pills that could stop vomiting, but he did not take them out for her to eat. He wanted her to overco it herself.
Otherwise, she would feel disgusted every ti she saw blood. This could not go on. Sothing had to change.
Husband, where are we going next?
After the excitent, Wen Zhiyun quickly beca worried.
As Chen An used the Cleaning T alisman he had obtained from looting the corpses to clean the sll of blood on his wife and daughter, he said calmly, “The matter here shouldn’t be discovered so quickly. Let’s go to the Treasure Hall first. As long as 1 pass the test, there won’t be a problem after that.”
Wen Zhiyun said, “Yes, I’ll listen to you.
After putting everything into his storage bag, the family of five imdiately set off for the Treasure Hall.
On the way, Chen An took out the three low-level robes for Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and his daughter to wear.
T hey were all wearing their clothes to prevent others from recognizing them.
Everyone else had it, but she didn’t. Wen Zhiyun had no objections to this.
Because she was an expert at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she had a certain level of ability to protect herself. These three robes should be given to her two sisters and the little daughter.
Not long after, a few of them arrived at the Treasure Hall.
When he brought his wife and daughter in, Chen An bumped into Shen Qingyi and Pan Hui, who were coming out.
Alchemist Chen, what are you…?1‘
Seeing Chen An bring his family to the Treasure Hall, Pan Hui could not help but look puzzled.
She did not know that Sect Master Zhu had just sent Elder Zhao to lull Chen An, so she was not surprised to see that Chen An was still alive.
Chen An casually found an excuse and smiled naturally. “It’s nothing. It’s just that today is the day the results of my test are our. My wife and daughter at ho are clamoring to co and witness it.”
I see. Alchemist Chen really dotes on his wives and daughter. How enviable. 1 still have sothing to deal with with Qingyi, so Ill take my leave first.”
I wish Alchemist Chen success in passing the test!
With that, Pan Hui and Shen Qingyi left.
Chen An did not pay much attention to the two of them. Soon, he brought his wife and daughter into the Treasure Hall.
Alchemist Chen, what are you…?”
When he saw Chen An bring his family in, Shopkeeper Liu and Pan Hui had the sa reaction. They both felt a little confused.
Chen An gave the sa half-hearted answer.
After that, he asked, “Shopkeeper Liu, how safe is it to stay in your guest room?”
I don’t dare to say too much. At least no one in the Bamboo Leaf Forest can find trouble with you. Even the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang can’t.”
Shopkeeper Liu said confidently.
If it was two months ago, he definitely would not have dared to be so confident. However, ever since the Xuanhuang Sect sent Shen Qingyi here to guard this place, he was.
After all, Shen Qingyi had been punishing evil everywhere in the Bamboo Leaf Forest recently. She had even killed the mbers of the Bamboo Leaf Gang without hesitation. He had seen all the scenes of the Bamboo Leaf Gang not daring to say a word.
Hearing Shopkeeper Liu’s words, Chen An was more or less relieved.
Then, he asked, “Shopkeeper Liu, what’s the price of the guest rooms here?
There are three levels. They are 10 low-grade spirit stones a day, 20 low-grade spirit stones a day, dium-grade spirit stones a day, and 30 low-grade spirit stones a day.”
Can you take up to take a look?
Of course you can!”
Shopkeeper Liu’s face was filled with enthusiasm, thinking that he could earn another sum of money.
As for why Chen An did not stay at ho but brought his wife and daughter to the Treasure Hall to rent a guest room, he did not care about any of that.
Even if he cared, he would not ask.
T his was a guest’s privacy. If he asked, it would be a huge taboo.
After spending so ti looking at the three guest rooms, without thinking, Chen An rook out 30 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Shopkeeper Liu. He rented the most expensive guest room and settled his wives and daughter down.
T hen, he sat downstairs alone and waited for Deacon Li from the Treasure Pavilion to co and inspect the goods.
Wen Zhiyun wanted to co down too, but Chen An was worried about Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and his daughter staying in the room, so he asked Wen Zhiyun, whose cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Refinent, to stay behind to rake care of them.
He sat downstairs and waited for almost an hour before Deacon Li of the Treasure Pavilion finally arrived.
Seeing this, Chen An hurriedly stood up and went up to welco him. His face was full of smiles as he said, “Deacon Li, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you.”
As he spoke, he took out five dium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed them into Deacon Li’s hand.
T his ti, he had to join the Treasure Pavilion. No accidents could be allowed to happen.
Deacon Li glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, and his bejeweled face was imdiately filled with smiles.
He patted Chen An’s shoulder and smiled. “Alchemist Chen, not bad, not bad.”
He only said that not bad’ twice and nothing else.
However, Chen An knew that he would definitely pass this ti.
In the following period of ti, accompanied by Chen An and Shopkeeper Liu, Deacon Li walked into the pill storage room of the Treasure Hall.
Shopkeeper Liu took out the 20 Spirit Cleansing Pills that Chen An had refined.
Chen An checked the logo on the Spirit Cleansing Pill.
After confirming that it was the 20 pills he had refined, he handed the Spirit Cleansing Pill to Deacon Li and smiled. “Deacon Li, these are the 20 Spirit Cleansing Pills I refined. Please take a look.”
Okay.
Deacon Li responded and took the Spirit Cleansing Pill to appraise it seriously.
A mont later, Deacon Li nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Chen An and praised, “Alchemist Chen’s alchemy skills are really superb. He’s even better skilled than many old second-grade Alchemists. He doesn’t look like a new second-grade Alchemist at all.”
&
When Chen An heard this, he imdiately looked happy. He knew that he had successfully joined the Treasure Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Liu also smiled and congratulated, “Alchemist Chen, congratulations. From now on, the two of us will be colleagues.”
I’ve troubled Shopkeeper Liu a lot recently. When the Treasure Hall closes tonight, I’ll treat Shopkeeper Liu to a good al.”
Chen An’s face was full of smiles.
Just as the two of them were chatting and laughing…
Deacon Li, who was at the side, suddenly said in an inappropriate manner, “Alchemist Chen, you passed the test perfectly this ti, but… 1 have bad news for you.”
Just a few days ago, the pavilion added a requirent for the recruitnt of
Alchemists.”
Requires Alchemists to at least know how to refine three types of Tier 2 dicinal pills if they want to join.”
As he spoke, he asked Chen An, “1 wonder how many types Alchemist Chen knows how to refine?”
Chen An was stunned. At least three types of Tier 2 dicinal pills?
He had just been promoted to a second-grade Alchemist not long ago. How could he know how to refine second-grade dicinal pills?
And there were so many of them!
T hinking of this, he frowned. His tone was no longer as polite as before. He questioned coldly, “Deacon Li, why didn’t you tell about this earlier?”
Alchemist Chen, you might not believe , but I’ve been too busy recently. 1 accidentally forgot about this.”
As he spoke, Deacon Li continued, “However, Alchemist Chen, you don’t have to worry. It’s fine if you don’t know how to refine Tier 2 dicinal pills. I have the pill formula for Tier 2 dicinal pills here to sell. On account that 1 didn’t remind you in ti, I can give you a discount on this Tier 2 dicinal pill formula. The original price is 50 mid-grade spirit stones apiece. I’ll only charge you 20 mid-grade spirit stones apiece now.”
20 mid-grade spirit stones per formula?
When Chen An heard this, his entire face turned cold.
He suspected that he had encountered a scam.
Alchemist Chen, this…
Shopkeeper Liu realized that the atmosphere was not right and imdiately beca a little nervous.
Chen An ignored him. Instead, he looked at Deacon Li with a dark expression and questioned, “Deacon Li, are you playing with like a fool?”
You took so many spirit stones from , but in the end, you only said that you were too busy and forgot. Are you just patronizing ?”
In fact, you’re even selling a Tier 2 dicinal pill formula to further squeeze ?”
Deacon Li laughed when he heard that. “What do you an squeeze? There are many Alchemists who want to find to introduce them to . If it weren’t for Shopkeeper Liu, do you think I would have bothered with you?”
In fact, the quota to recruit Alchemists in the Treasure Pavilion this year was already gone. However, Deacon Li did nor want to give up this reason to earn money, so he continued to use the recomndation to earn money wantonly.
Not only did he treat Alchemists as free labor, but he also thought of ways to cheat Alchemists of their money for various reasons.
Many Alchemists knew that they had been set up. However, in order to be able to enter the Treasure Pavilion through Deacon Li’s recomndation next year, most of them would choose to suffer this hidden loss.
Chen An did not know about this. He only knew that the other party was definitely scamming him now.
He tried his best to calm himself down. He looked at Deacon Li expressionlessly and said, “Deacon Li, return all the spirit stones 1 gave you previously. Also, pay the processing fee for the Spirit Concentration Pill last ti and the Spirit Cleansing Pill this ti. I’ll pretend that this never happened.”
You’re biting the hand that feeds you, you’re crazy!”
After cursing, Deacon Li turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves. As he left, he did not forget to turn around and say to Shopkeeper Liu, “Shopkeeper Liu, don’t introduce such an ungrateful Alchemist to in the future. I feel that it’s evil…”
Swoosh!
Before Deacon Li could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his neck heat up and he instantly fell silent.
T hen, in the next second, his head completely separated from his body. With a bang, it fell heavily to the ground and rolled to Shopkeeper Liu’s feet.
Looking at the head under his feet, Shopkeeper Liu froze on the spot. His lips trembled in fear as he said, “Alchemist Chen, you, you…”
Chen An ignored him. Instead, he went forward and squatted down to touch the corpse.
in any case, he had already lulled all the elders and deacons in rhe Bamboo Leaf Gang’s Law Enforcent Hail previously and could not stay in the Bamboo Leaf Forest anymore. Now that he could not even join the Treasure Pavilion, he did not care about killing another manager of the Treasure Pavilion.
From now on, he wanted to go all the way.
Before leaving the Bamboo Leaf Forest, he had to obtain everything he needed and then live elsewhere..
