Not long after, Chen An brought his wives and daughter back to the depths of the forest.

When rhe remaining dozen or so deacons saw that Chen Ait had returned unscathed, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.

The few who reacted quickly turned around and ran immediately, using all kinds of footwork.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast their legs could carry them, it could not compare to rhe speed of light.

Pfft.. Pfft… Pfft!”

A series of muffled sounds could be heard.

More than ten Bamboo Leaf Gang deacons with cultivation ar the ninth level of Qi Refining were instantly shot in the head by the golden light and died on the spot.

“Chen, Alchemist Chen…”

Shen Qingyi felt that her eyelids were very heavy. She tried her best ro open her eyes and look at Chen An in front of her. She wanted to ask something, bur unfortunately, the Soft Immortal Powder took effect. Her lips were so soft that she could not open them.

Chen An heard Shen Qingyi’s voice and asked Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue to loot the corpse. Then, he walked over ro Shen Qingyi’s side to check on the situation.

After a round of inspection, he quickly discovered that Shen Qingyi had been poisoned by the Soft Immortal Powder.

Unfortunately, it was useless even if he knew.

With his current alchemy level, there was no way he could detoxify Shen Qingyi.

Not to mention that in order to create a dust bomb ro protect himself, he had almost used up all the medicinal powder in his storage bag.

Wait a minute!

Chen An’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He recalled the storage bag he had just obtained from Sect Master Zhu’s corpse. He felt that there should be an antidote for the Soft Immortal Powder inside.

With that thought in mind, he began to scan Sect Master Zhu’s storage bag.

Then, he was immediately shocked by the various stocks inside.

There were spells, cultivation techniques, artifacts, high-grade spirit stones, and all kinds of valuable things that he had never dared to think of in the past.

He was really rich this time!

Chen An was excited.

However, he quickly calmed down.

He was not in a hurry to count the things in his storage bag. Instead, he focused on searching for the antidote to the Soft Immortal Powder.

Not long after.

He found the Poison Cleansing Pill in his storage bag.

Poison Cleansing Pill, a high-level Level 2 medicinal pill. It could cure all poisonous pills below Level 3.

And the Soft Immortal Powder happened to be among them.

Chen An took out a Poison Cleansing Pill. Fie did not care that men and women should not touch each other. He reached out and pried open Shen Qingyi’s red lips before stuffing rhe Poison Cleansing Pill into her mouth.

When his fingertips touched Shen Qingyi’s lips, Chen An felt warm, soft, and comfortable. He had the urge to kiss her.

Fortunately, he still had some sense and instantly dismissed the thought.

The Poison Cleansing Pill took effect very quickly.

Shen Qingyi had only eaten for a few breaths before most of the negative effects on her body dissipated.

She sat up from the ground and looked at Chen An immediately.

“Alchemist Chen, where are Sect Master Zhu and his elders now?11

“They’re all dead.”

Chen An said calmly.

Dead?

Shen Qingyi thought she had heard wrongly and was a little stunned.

Chen An continued, “I’ve killed them all. Walk in this direction and you’ll see their corpses along the way.”

“As for your fiance’s body, you can see it when you walk to that smoking place.”

Chen An pointed in a direction that was emitting thick smoke in the distance.

Shen Qingyi found it hard ro believe.

She did not doubt Chen An’s words.

That was because the fact that Chen An could come back ro save her and not stay here in a hurry to leave already explained a lot of problems.

That scumbag’s fiance and the elders and deacons under him had probably really died under Chen An’s hands.

But what was going on?

Wasn’t Chen An an Alchemist?

How could he be so powerful?

With such powerful strength, why did he stay in the Bamboo Leaf Forest?

This didn’t make sense at all!

Shen Qingyi could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it. She could only ask Chen An again, “Alchemist Chen, who are you?”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’m me, and I’m still the Alchemist Chen you know. I only managed to break through to the first level of Foundation Establishment by luck some time ago and improved my strength. That’s all.”

“He’s only at the first level of Foundation Establishment. How can he…”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, let’s not talk about this for now. I’m going over there to loot the corpse.”

Chen An did not want to reveal too much, so he casually found an excuse and interrupted the conversation.

Shen Qingyi opened her mouth, wanting to ask something else, but Chen An had already walked far away.

Looking at Chen An, who was squatting on the ground and touching the corpse, she realized that she had just committed a huge taboo.

At the end of the day, they were just strangers. How could she ask so much about other people s privacy?

The cultivation world was filled with deception. No one was willing to reveal the cards under their sleeves.

Even a loving companion might not be willing to reveal it.

Soon.

Chen An and his two wives had finished searching the corpse.

The harvest was not big. It was basically spirit stones.

After all, they were only deacons of the Bamboo Leaf Gang and some Qi Refinement Cultivators. It was impossible for them to be as rich as their leader and elders.

“Alchemist Chen, that Zhu’s father is a Golden Core elder of the Xuanhuang Sect. Now that you’ve killed him, you’ll definitely be hunted down by that Golden Core elder in the future. What are your plans next?’1

Out of concern for her benefactor, Shen Qingyi asked.

Chen An smiled bitterly and said, “For now, I plan to leave the Bamboo Leaf

Forest first. I’ll take it one step at a time.”

Shen Qingyi said, “Alchemist Chen, rhe Xuanhuang Sect and the Heaven Earth Sect in rhe Mountain Sea Region are like fire and water. You can go to the Heaven Earth Sect to take a look. As long as you can settle down there, the people of the Xuanhuang Sect won’t be able to find trouble with you anymore.”

As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper from her storage bag and drew a simple map for Chen An on the spot. On it, she marked the route to the Mountain Sea Region’s Fleaven Earth Sect.

Chen An rook the map and glanced at it. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Shen.”

“Alchemist Chen, 1 should be the one thanking you. If nor for you, I’m afraid I would have been tortured to death by that Zhu.”

After saying that, Shen Qingyi took out all her spirit stones from her storage bag. There were a total of 20 high-grade spirit stones. She handed them all to Chen An and said, “Alchemist Chen, please accept these spirit stones. If you need any help in the future, please come to me.”

Her usual cultivation consumption was huge, and she basically could nor save much resources.

Apart from weapons, artifacts, talismans, and various other necessities, the most valuable thing on him was these 20 high-grade spirit stones.

Chen An did not stand on ceremony with Shen Qingyi and put all the spirit stones she handed over into his storage bag.

Then, he said to her, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’m leaving with my wives and daughter. Well meet again.”

Shen Qingyi: “Okay, see you again.”

After a simple farewell, Chen An left with his wife and daughter.

He followed rhe map that Shen Qingyi had just drawn and walked straight towards the mountain sea.

Shen Qingyi watched as Chen An s family of five gradually left.

When she could not see Chen An’s figure at all, she walked in the direction that Chen An had pointed out earlier.

She wanted to see her scumbag fiance and the corpses of the elders of the Bamboo Leaf Gang along the way.

After seeing the corpse, she would set off back to the Xuanhuang Sect and secretly investigate if what the scumbag’s fiance said was true.

On the other hand, Chen An studied the map as he led his wives forward quickly.

Unfortunately, he did not know Shen Qingyi’s current relationship with the Xuanhuang Sect. Otherwise, he would definitely have persuaded her to go ro the Mountain Sea Region with him just now.

After all, Shen Qingyi was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even if she couldn’t be tricked into becoming a concubine, they could team up to head to the Mountain Sea Region. The journey would be much safer.

After studying the map for a moment, Chen An rook our Sect Master Zhu’s storage bag alone and transferred all the things in the other storage bags to Sect Master Zhu’s storage bag.

He placed them together so that he could count his gains.

Chen An could not help bur be shocked by his gains this time..
