CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 847: OVERNIGHT FORTUNE

In the peach forest, Chen Nan picked up Tang Zhirou, looked at her pale face, and sighed softly: "This time, I’ve really dragged you into this."

After speaking, he carried Tang Zhirou back to the room in Qingshan Sect and laid her on the bed.

At this moment, the Golden Core ceremony was still ongoing. Chen Nan needed to change his clothes for the ceremony to prevent suspicion from others.

Just as he was about to leave the room, Tang Zhirou slowly opened her eyes and saw a figure with mottled blood stains, then fainted again.

Qing Yao realized Chen Nan was not around and was somewhat absent-minded. Just as she was about to search for him, she saw Chen Nan coming back.

"Where did you go?" She walked up to ask, but noticed Chen Nan’s face was a bit pale, worriedly inquiring, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing," Chen Nan smiled, not intending to speak about Liu Tong’s matter to others.

With a close enemy resolved, Master Xuanming would find it difficult to come after him in the short term, allowing him to cultivate peacefully for a while.

However, Chen Nan felt that the cultivation speed was somewhat slow, but since Qingshan Sect was just starting, he couldn’t leave for external cultivation yet.

Until evening, when the Golden Core ceremony ended, Chen Nan, on behalf of Jiang Zheng, escorted the sect leaders from other sects to the mountain gate, and even Qing Yao left.

"Chen Nan, you have to come quickly, I’m waiting for you in Medicine Immortal Valley."

"Don’t worry, once the Piaomiao Sect people leave, I will help cure your father’s poison," Chen Nan smiled, naturally not forgetting this matter.

Back on the mountain, Jiang Zheng was grinning from ear to ear at Chen Nan.

"Haha, my disciple, you see those sects, now they respect me greatly, you have to keep working hard, Qingshan Sect depends on you!"

Chen Nan suddenly had black lines all over his head, quickly saying, "I can’t do it alone. For Qingshan Sect to develop, we need to recruit new disciples and also bring in a batch of elders."

As for the development of Qingshan Sect, he had long made plans, and refining elixir pills to exchange for resources was only the first step; the next was to expand the sect.

"Indeed, indeed, more disciples and elders should be recruited, so tomorrow I’ll publish the news; I’m sure many people will want to join our sect."

Previously, Jiang Zheng was embarrassed to mention Qingshan Sect outside, but now he couldn’t stop talking about it.

No choice, having a Seventh Grade Alchemist sitting in the sect was a luxury other nearby sects didn’t enjoy.

"By the way, elders must be Golden Core Stage at least, those in Foundation Establishment Stage can only be disciples," Chen Nan reminded again.

Jiang Zheng nodded repeatedly, looking more like a disciple himself.

"Yes, now that we have you sitting here, elders must be Golden Core Stage in cultivation!"

"Old man, I’ll leave this to you; I need to go for alchemy," Chen Nan was about to leave, only to see Jiang Zheng standing there with embarrassment.

"Disciple, is your time ample?"

Chen Nan scratched his head, somewhat confusedly asking, "Old man, what do you want?"

Jiang Zheng awkwardly pulled out a slip of paper from his chest and handed it to Chen Nan: "I was too busy bragging earlier, and several sects asked me to order elixir pills."

"I already agreed on your behalf, so you can’t let me lose face!"

Feeling a headache, Chen Nan took the slip, finding one end still attached to Jiang Zheng’s clothes, feeling something amiss.

He gradually tore out the remaining slip, unexpectedly finding more and more, ending up with a long string.

"Old man, are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?!"

So many elixir pills, wouldn’t it take until the Year of the Monkey to finish?

At this moment, Jiang Zheng fled happily, chuckling: "Disciple, you’ll have to work hard; it’s unavoidable for me, as they all flatter me."

"They want the elixir pills next month, so you’ll have to hurry."

Though helpless, Chen Nan had no choice but to obediently refine elixir pills, who let him find such an unreliable master?

After collecting the list, Chen Nan went to Tang Zhirou’s room and opened the door, discovering Tang Zhirou had woken up at some unknown time.

He had previously checked Tang Zhirou’s body, finding no injuries.

"Today, the person who took me away, who was it?"

Upon seeing Chen Nan, her face fell immediately.

Though she was unconscious earlier, she vaguely knew what happened.

For Chen Nan saving her, she naturally felt grateful, but if it weren’t for Chen Nan, this wouldn’t have happened!

Chen Nan gave an awkward smile: "He was the one who hunted me down before, didn’t expect him to find me here."

"But don’t worry, I’ve already dealt with him."

"Hmph, if he hadn’t ambushed me, he wouldn’t have taken me away." Tang Zhirou hugged her shoulders, insisting to maintain her dignity.

Chen Nan was both amused and helpless, shaking his head, saying: "Alright, alright, I know you’re strong."

"You’ve been frightened today, Junior Sister, just rest well as I need to go for alchemy."

Knowing Tang Zhirou was fine, Chen Nan felt relieved, turning around to leave for the Alchemy Room.

Watching Chen Nan’s departing figure, Tang Zhirou bit her lip, seeming somewhat conflicted.

Though she never admitted she was weaker than Chen Nan, seeing Chen Nan’s blood-covered appearance during her haze today, she felt somewhat unusual.

"Hmph, I’ll forgive you this time."

...

Upon returning to the Alchemy Room, Chen Nan closed the doors and windows, then took out the storage bag he obtained today.

Liu Tong, being Master Xuanming’s disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple of Yuantian Sect, had a storage bag filled with abundant items.

Moreover, the entire wealth of the deceased Hu Chuan and Zhao Kai belonged to him now.

Upon seeing the items in the storage bag, Chen Nan took a cold breath.

The spirit stones and elixir pills alone were countless, along with numerous spiritual medicines, talismans, and several jade scrolls of Yuantian Sect’s magic.

Chen Nan even found several spiritual artifacts in the bag, including the longsword Liu Tong used today.

Although all were ninth-grade spiritual artifacts, they were an unexpected fortune.

The bag also contained a complete array flag set that could set up an eighth-grade killing array, properly arranged to annihilate a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Besides, Chen Nan found a seal at the bottom of the storage bag, but after observing it for a long time, he couldn’t discern much about it, thus dismissing it.

"I really have become a wealthy man now."

Seeing the pile of spirit stones, Chen Nan couldn’t help but laugh aloud; Liu Tong truly was a bringer of wealth.

Yet he also understood that after Liu Tong’s death, Master Xuanming would send an even stronger cultivator, if not coming personally.

Thus, he felt even more urgency than before.

Taking out a jade scroll to touch his brow, Chen Nan soon comprehended the magic recorded on it, it was one of the magic Liu Tong used today, named Snowfall Blade Technique.

Moreover, this complete technique, although only eighth-grade, was much better than the incomplete techniques in Qingshan Sect.

Chen Nan swallowed an elixir pill and immediately began cultivating.
