It takes about half a cup of tea.

The corpse-touching is over.

Chen An and his three wives and concubines counted the harvest together. Their hearts were pounding with excitement. They instantly understood the meaning of the phrase "killing people and setting fires will earn you a golden belt."

Storage bag: 1 pc.

Medium-grade spirit stones: 15 pieces.

Low-grade spirit stones: 129 pieces.

Long sword: 3.

Long swords: 2.

Low-level robes: 3 pieces.

Various types of talismans: several.

Various types of elixirs: several.

Other valuables: several.

"Husband, we are rich!"

Wen Zhiyun's face was full of excitement. She had never seen so much money.

Gu Xinyue was also very excited, but she was only excited in her heart and did not show it too much on her face.

"vomit!"

Song Huaying couldn't bear it any longer, so she leaned over and vomited, spewing all the breakfast she had eaten this morning onto the ground.

Chen An went over and patted her on the back, and asked with concern: "Ying'er, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay, my husband. Ying'er will just need to vomit a few more times...Ugh!"

Before Song Huaying could finish her words, she suddenly vomited again.

Chen An had some pills that could stop vomiting, but he didn't give them to her, hoping that she could overcome it on her own.

Otherwise I would feel nauseous every time I saw blood, and this is not a solution.

Something has to change.

"Husband, where are we going next?"

After the excitement, Wen Zhiyun soon became worried.

While Chen An used the cleaning talisman he got from touching corpses to clean the bloody smell on his wife and daughters, he said calmly, "The things here shouldn't be discovered so quickly. Let's go to the treasure shop first. As long as the test is passed, the follow-up will not be a problem."

Wen Zhiyun: "Well, I'll listen to my husband."

After putting all their belongings into storage bags, the family of five immediately set off for the treasure shop.

On the way.

Chen An took out the three low-level robes and gave them to Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and his daughter.

They were all worn under their clothes to avoid being seen and recognized.

Everyone else has it except herself, and Wen Zhiyun has no objection to this.

Because she is a powerful person at the eighth level of Qi Refining and has a certain ability to protect herself, these three robes should be given to her two younger sisters and her daughter.

Not long.

Several people came to the treasure shop.

When Chen An took his wife and daughter in, he ran into Shen Qingyi and Pan Hui who were coming out.

"Master Chen, what are you doing...?"

Seeing Chen An coming to the treasure shop with his family, Pan Hui couldn't help but look puzzled.

She didn't know that Gang Leader Zhu had just sent Elder Zhao to kill Chen An, so she wasn't surprised to see Chen An still alive.

Chen An made up an excuse and said with a natural smile: "Nothing, it's just that today is the day when my test results come out, and my wife and daughter at home are clamoring to come and witness it."

"I see. Master Chen really dotes on his wife and daughter. I am really envious. I have some things to deal with with Qingyi right now, so I will leave first."

"I wish Master Chen Dan a smooth test!"

After saying that, Pan Hui and Shen Qingyi left.

Chen An didn't pay much attention to the two men and soon walked into the treasure shop with his wife and daughter.

"Master Chen, what are you doing...?"

When they saw Chen An coming in with his family, Manager Liu had the same reaction as Pan Hui just now, both feeling a little confused.

Chen An also gave the same perfunctory answer.

Afterwards, he asked, "Manager Liu, how safe can I be if I stay in your guest room?"

"I can't say much, but at least no one can cause trouble for you in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, not even the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang."

Shopkeeper Liu said confidently.

Two months ago, he certainly wouldn't have been so confident, but since Xuanhuang Sect sent Shen Qingyi to take charge here, he has been able to do so.

After all, Shen Qingyi had been punishing evildoers everywhere in the Bamboo Leaf Forest recently, even killing members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang without mercy, and he had seen all of that, as the Bamboo Leaf Gang didn't dare to say a word.

After hearing what Manager Liu said, Chen An felt a little relieved.

Then he asked, "Manager Liu, what are the prices of your guest rooms?"

"There are three levels: the inferior guest room costs 10 inferior spirit stones a day, the medium guest room costs 20 inferior spirit stones a day, and the superior guest room costs 30 inferior spirit stones a day."

"Can you take me up there to have a look?"

"sure!"

Shopkeeper Liu's face was full of enthusiasm, thinking that he could make some money again.

As for why Chen An didn't live at home but instead took his wife and daughter to rent a room in the Treasure Shop, he didn't care.

Even if he cared, he wouldn't ask.

This is the guest’s privacy, and asking about it is a big taboo.

After spending some time looking at all three levels of guest rooms.

Without thinking twice, Chen An took out 30 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Manager Liu, then rented a high-end guest room to accommodate his wife and daughter.

Wen Zhiyun also wanted to come down, but Chen An was worried about leaving Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and his daughter in the room, so he asked Wen Zhiyun, who had a cultivation level as high as the eighth level of Qi Refining, to stay and take care of them.

I waited downstairs for almost half an hour.

Manager Li from the Treasure Pavilion finally arrived.

Upon seeing this, Chen An quickly stood up and went to greet him, smiling, "Manager Li, you are finally here. You have kept me waiting for so long."

As he spoke, he suddenly had an idea and took out 5 medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed them into Manager Li's hand to show his appreciation.

This time, he must join the Treasure Pavilion.

Don't allow any accidents to happen.

Manager Li glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, and his jewel-covered face suddenly broke into a smile.

He patted Chen An on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Chen, not bad, very good."

He just said "good" twice and nothing else.

But Chen An knew that he was definitely safe this time.

In the following period of time.

Accompanied by Chen An and Manager Liu, Manager Li walked into the elixir storage room of the Treasure Shop.

Shopkeeper Liu took out the 20 Qingling Pills that Chen An had refined.

Chen An checked the markings on the Qingling Pill.

After confirming that they were the 20 pieces that I had refined.

He handed the Qingling Pill to Manager Li beside him and said with a smile: "Manager Li, these are the 20 Qingling Pills I refined. Please have a look."

"good."

Manager Li responded, took the Qingling Pill and began to examine it carefully.

After a moment.

Manager Li nodded with satisfaction, looked at Chen An and praised him, "Master Chen's alchemy skills are truly superb, even more sophisticated than many experienced second-level alchemists, and he doesn't look like a newly promoted second-level alchemist at all."

When Chen An heard this, his face immediately showed joy, knowing that he had successfully joined the Treasure Pavilion.

Shopkeeper Liu at the side also smiled and congratulated him, saying, "Master Chen, congratulations, we will be colleagues from now on."

"I have troubled Shopkeeper Liu a lot during this period. When the Treasure Shop closes tonight, I will treat Shopkeeper Liu to a good meal."

Chen An's face was full of smiles.

Just as the two were talking and laughing.

Manager Li, who was standing by, suddenly said in an inappropriate tone, "Master Chen, you passed the test perfectly this time, but... I have some bad news for you."

"Just a few days ago, the pavilion added a new requirement when recruiting alchemists."

"If you want to join, you must be able to refine at least three second-level pills."

Then he asked Chen An, "I wonder how many kinds of medicines Master Chen can make?"

Chen An was stunned.

He must be able to refine at least three second-level pills? He had just been promoted to a second-level alchemist not long ago, how could he possibly refine second-level pills?

And there are three kinds! Thinking of this, he frowned, his tone was no longer as polite as before, and he asked in a cold voice: "Manager Li, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"Master Chen, you may not believe this, but I have been so busy lately that I forgot about it."

As he spoke, Manager Li continued, "But don't worry, Master Chen. It doesn't matter if you can't refine a second-level pill. I have a second-level pill recipe for sale. Considering my fault for not reminding you in time, I can give you a discount on this second-level pill recipe. The original price is 50 middle-grade spirit stones per copy, but now I will only charge you 20 middle-grade spirit stones per copy."

20 medium-grade spirit stones for one portion? Chen An's face suddenly turned cold after hearing this.

He suspected that he had encountered a pig-killing trap.

"Master Chen, this..."

Shopkeeper Liu noticed that the atmosphere was not right and he suddenly became a little nervous.

Chen An ignored him and looked at Manager Li with a gloomy face, asking, "Manager Li, are you treating me like a fool?"

"I took so many spirit stones from you, and you just said you were too busy and forgot about it and wanted to get rid of it?"

"And now you're even selling me the second-level elixir formula to further squeeze me?"

Manager Li also laughed when he heard this: "What do you mean by exploitation? There are many alchemists who want to ask me to introduce them to you. If it weren't for Manager Liu, do you think I would pay attention to you?"

In fact, there were no more vacancies for alchemists recruited by the Treasure Pavilion this year, but Manager Li did not want to give up this reason to make money, so he continued to make a fortune by making recommendations.

Not only did they treat alchemists as free labor, they also found ways to defraud money from them under various pretexts.

Many alchemists later found out that they were set up to kill them, but in order to have a vacancy next year and be introduced to the Treasure Pavilion by Manager Li, most of them chose to swallow the loss.

Chen An didn’t know all this, he only knew that the other party was definitely trying to trick him.

He tried to calm himself down, looked at Manager Li expressionlessly and said, "Manager Li, return all the spirit stones I gave you before, and pay the processing fee for the last Qi Condensation Pill and this Qingling Pill. I will pretend that this matter never happened."

"A dog bites Lu Dongbin, he is sick!"

After cursing, Manager Li turned around and left, and as he left, he did not forget to turn around and say to Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, please don't introduce such an ungrateful alchemist to me again in the future. I feel disgusted..."

“Swish!”

Before Manager Li could finish his words, he suddenly felt his neck getting hot and he instantly fell silent.

Then the next second, his head was completely separated from his body, fell heavily to the ground with a "bang", and rolled to the feet of Manager Liu.

Looking at the head under his feet, Manager Liu froze in place, his lips trembling with fear as he said, "Master Chen, you, you are..."

Chen An ignored him and walked forward, squatted down and began to touch the corpse.

Anyway, they had already killed all the elders and deacons in the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall, and they could no longer survive in the Bamboo Leaf Forest. Now they couldn't even join the Treasure Pavilion, so they didn't care about killing one more manager of the Treasure Pavilion.

From now on, he will go down this path to the end.

Before leaving the bamboo forest, you must get everything you need and then move to another place to survive.
