Chapter 88: Going All the Way

Editor: Atlas Studios

in about half an hour, the corpse search ended.

Chen An and his three wives counted their gains together. They were so excited that their hearts were pounding. They instantly understood the meaning of the words ‘killing and looting’.

Storage bag: 1

Medium-grade spirit stones: 15 pieces.

Low-grade spirit stone: 129 pieces.

Longswords: 3

Long knives: 2.

Low-level magic robes: 3.

Various types of talismans: A few.

Various types of medicinal pills: A few.

Other valuable items: A few.

Husband, we’re rich!”

Wen Zhiyun’s face was filled with excitement. 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 times… 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 overcome it herself.

Otherwise, she would feel disgusted every time she saw blood. This could not go on. Something had to change.

Husband, where are we going next?

After the excitement, Wen Zhiyun quickly became worried.

As Chen An used the Cleaning T alisman he had obtained from looting the corpses to clean the smell 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 immediately 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 home are clamoring to come and witness it.”

I see. Alchemist Chen really dotes on his wives and daughter. How enviable. 1 still have something 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 same reaction. They both felt a little confused.

Chen An gave the same 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 members 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, medium-grade spirit stones a day, and 30 low-grade spirit stones a day.”

Can you take me 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 home 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 some time 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 come and inspect the goods.

Wen Zhiyun wanted to come 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 Refinement, 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 welcome 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 medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed them into Deacon Li’s hand.

T his time, 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 immediately 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 time.

In the following period of time, 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 moment 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 immediately 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 meal.”

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 time, but… 1 have bad news for you.”

Just a few days ago, the pavilion added a requirement for the recruitment of

Alchemists.”

Requires Alchemists to at least know how to refine three types of Tier 2 medicinal 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 medicinal pills?

He had just been promoted to a second-grade Alchemist not long ago. How could he know how to refine second-grade medicinal 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 me about this earlier?”

Alchemist Chen, you might not believe me, 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 medicinal pills. I have the pill formula for Tier 2 medicinal pills here to sell. On account that 1 didn’t remind you in time, I can give you a discount on this Tier 2 medicinal 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 immediately became 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 me like a fool?”

You took so many spirit stones from me, but in the end, you only said that you were too busy and forgot. Are you just patronizing me?”

In fact, you’re even selling me a Tier 2 medicinal pill formula to further squeeze me?”

Deacon Li laughed when he heard that. “What do you mean squeeze? There are many Alchemists who want to find me to introduce them to me. 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 recommendation 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 recommendation 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 time and the Spirit Cleansing Pill this time. 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 me 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 Enforcement 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..
