CHAPTER 833: CHAPTER 833: WHEN THE LICE ARE PLENTY, YOU STOP WORRYING ABOUT BEING BITTEN

Liu Ping is dead, and he died a rather tragic death, his body crushed by the Golden Seal, collapsing to the ground like a heap of sludge.

Seeing the people from the workshop rushing over, Chen Nan did not bother entangling with them and directly picked up Liu Ping’s storage bag and that talisman.

As he was about to leave, he noticed a small flame quietly burning on Liu Ping’s corpse.

"Is this... Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire?"

His heart trembled fiercely, unexpectedly Liu Ping had this kind of miraculous thing on him.

It is known that Spiritual Fire is nurtured by the heavens and earth, the most pure flame in the world, and if subdued, it would be extremely useful, whether for alchemy, artifact refining, or enemy against.

It was only at this moment that Chen Nan realized why Liu Ping’s strength was so weak, his realm so fragile, yet he could become a Seventh Grade Alchemist, all relying on the might of the Spiritual Fire.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he seized the Spiritual Fire and disappeared from the spot.

Though the Small Shifting Technique is incomplete, the remaining part alone is enough for Chen Nan to traverse the world of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, appearing a hundred meters away in an instant.

He continued to activate the Small Shifting Technique, not stopping even after leaving the workshop, until his own mana was exhausted, and he had no choice but to stop.

By this time, he was already a hundred miles away from the workshop.

Beside him were a few low mountains, without hesitation, Chen Nan rushed into the mountains and found a cave to hide in.

Some secrets are best known only to oneself; letting others know would only bring disaster.

At this time, thousands of miles away from the workshop where Liu Ping died, a heart-wrenching shout echoed suddenly from the Elder Cave Mansion of the Piaomiao Sect.

"Who dares to kill my grandson?!"

This roar alarmed the entire sect, with other elders quickly arriving in front of the cave mansion.

Liu Shenyan came out of the cave mansion, his face full of sorrow, holding a jade token in his hand, already shattered into many pieces.

"Old Liu, what happened?"

Another fellow elder came forward to inquire.

Liu Shenyan looked as if he was gnashing his teeth, "My grandson was killed, I don’t know where!"

This news shocked the hearts of the other elders, as they all knew how much Liu Shenyan loved his grandson.

Liu Ping had even mentioned wanting to become an alchemist and Liu Shenyan had brought a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire for him.

Now that his most beloved grandson was killed, how could he not hate?

Yet, these elders feigned sympathy for Liu Ping, while internally sneering.

Everyone knew what kind of character Liu Ping was, and he was known to have caused the death of countless female cultivators. Now that he was killed, it seemed fitting.

However, such words couldn’t be expressed openly, and they could only think them in their hearts.

"Old Liu, do you know who killed Liu Ping?" an elder asked.

Liu Shenyan shook his head, his eyes slightly red, "I don’t know, but this matter cannot be let go just like that. My grandson cannot just die such a tragic death!"

Soon, Piaomiao Sect dispatched a few disciples to investigate the news of Liu Ping’s death.

Even though they did not think highly of Liu Ping, they still had to give Liu Shenyan face.

Time flew by, and for three days, Chen Nan, who was hiding in the cave, was unaware of events outside.

His mana had completely recovered, and he finally took out Liu Ping’s storage bag.

Although Liu Ping was a profligate son, the contents of the storage bag shocked Chen Nan greatly.

As an alchemist, the storage bag was filled with a large number of precious spiritual medicines, including many sixth-grade spiritual medicines!

Besides these, there was a considerable quantity of Spirit Stones, with a million low-grade spirit stones, tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, and even several hundred upper-grade spirit stones.

Additionally, there was a sixth-grade alchemy furnace, a secret alchemy technique manual, and some pill recipes, all of which were for very precious elixir pills, including sixth-grade recipes.

Other than that, there were many miscellaneous items, each of high value.

Even the talisman Liu Ping pulled out in the end was a sixth-grade Black Tortoise Talisman that, when activated, could form a Black Tortoise Shield.

Even a Golden Core Cultivator would have difficulty breaking through.

"Indeed, fortunate. If not for practicing the ’Shock God Stab,’ this time would have been perilous."

At the last moment, it was Chen Nan’s use of the Secret Technique ’Shock God Stab’ that completely incapacitated Liu Ping.

"Luckily, everything is worth it. Not only was Liu Ping, my greatest threat, eradicated, but I also gained enough resources to further my cultivation."

Chen Nan was overjoyed, marveling at how Liu Ping was truly the grandson of a Nascent Soul old monster, possessing so many good items.

Moreover, killing and looting seem to indeed be the fastest way to wealth.

As for offending a Nascent Soul monster, Chen Nan was unconcerned. It’s unlikely they could trace it back to him soon.

Before attacking Liu Ping, he had already disguised himself, and others in the workshop had not seen him.

Besides, having already offended Master Xuanming, he wasn’t afraid to offend another Nascent Soul cultivator.

"This is like being unconcerned with numerous debts or unfazed by numerous lice."

With a self-mocking smile, as Chen Nan transferred all items from Liu Ping’s storage bag to his own, he suddenly found a letter.

He curiously opened it, instantaneously feeling a surge of rage.

The letter recorded matters concerning Chen Nan and Qing Yao.

It described Qing Yao’s breakthrough to the Golden Core and her entanglement with Chen Nan, painting them as adulterers through exaggeration.

Given that Liu Ping had always regarded Qing Yao as his exclusive possession, he couldn’t bear this, hence his urgent visit to Medicine Immortal Valley.

At the end of the letter was a familiar name to Chen Nan.

Tie Shan.

"Damn it!"

The letter was torn to shreds by Chen Nan, and his resentment toward Tie Shan soared immediately.

This Tie Shan, though tall and burly in appearance, was in reality a narrow-minded petty person.

Having failed in his attempts to target Chen Nan, who was a genuine Seventh Grade Alchemist, he came up with this plan for murder by proxy.

"Tie Shan..."

Chen Nan’s kill list now had one more name.

Yet, what Tie Shan wrote in the letter, though exaggerated, wasn’t far from reality, for Chen Nan indeed was together with Qing Yao.

Even Tie Shan himself might not have expected that.

Moreover, he did not foresee that Chen Nan, with resolute ferocity, would decide to kill Liu Ping and succeed.

"If Liu Ping’s grandfather knew it was Tie Shan who incited Liu Ping, leading to Liu Ping’s death, he would probably kill Tie Shan, right?"

Chen Nan sneered; since Tie Shan wanted him dead, Chen Nan saw no need to show mercy.

However, he couldn’t spread this news; otherwise, it would eventually come back to him.

"This matter needs careful consideration."

Chen Nan’s gaze finally fell on the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire he acquired from Liu Ping, a small flame quietly burning on the ground.

The flame was golden, small yet radiating a terrifying heat.

Earlier, when Chen Nan seized the Spirit Fire, his palm almost got scorched.
