Where is the promised arrogance? Where is the supposed reserve?
In the end, those who remained could only obediently take out their storage bags and pour out everything they had gathered over the past few days.
The things on the ground belong to the country; you all did well. Go back to the government office and collect your banners yourselves.
Chen Anlin put away his belongings and patted his storage bag. A few people revealed smiles that looked worse than crying, and finally took their leave. As they walked away, each swore that from now on, they would avoid Chen Anlin at all costs.
There was no choice; he was simply too wicked. The key was that he did bad things while pretending to care for their well-being.
Li Que, you’ve hidden for so long; it’s time to come out, isn’t it?
Suddenly, Chen Anlin glanced toward a patch of grass in the corner.
Li Que was startled and his face turned pale. Damn it, he had been discovered!
“Chen Shao, it’s just me, Li Que,” he said as he stepped out reluctantly.
“Li Que, you should pour out the contents of your storage bag. This notebook is for your own good; I’ll keep it safe for you so that no one else can lay their hands on it and put your life at risk.”
Chen Anlin wore a warm smile, but his gaze was sharp. If Li Que dared to act recklessly, he would send him straight to the underworld.
Li Que gritted his teeth and endured!
“Thank you, Chen Zi.”
He could only pour out his storage bag.
This time, Chen Anlin frowned; how poor!
Inside were only three ordinary herbs. It seemed this guy knew the risks and probably hid the rest elsewhere—most likely with that woman, Li Xuexin.
“Get lost.”
With a flick of his hand, Li Que was sent flying away.
Once he confirmed that no one was around, Chen Anlin finally felt justified in examining the pile of rubble.
Underneath this pile of stones lay a black spirit stone. To be honest, it was his first time seeing such a thing, and he had no idea how it worked.
"Let's just take him away for now."
At that moment, Li Que and Li Xuexin reunited. Three young men had joined Li Xuexin, all of whom were talented youths they had encountered here, each possessing considerable strength.
"You just ran into Chen Anlin. How did it go?" Li Xuexin asked Li Que.
"Heh, don't worry. I came out unscathed and even managed to fool him a bit," Li Que replied with a confident smile.
【Ding! Success in showing off.】
"Who is this?" A young man who appeared to be in his late twenties asked at that moment.
"I am—" Li Que began, but the young man waved his hand dismissively.
"Never mind who you are. The point is, we have a common goal now: to eliminate Chen Anlin and kill this dog of the Empress. Didn't you say you gained his trust? Next, lure him over!"
Li Que felt a twinge of annoyance. Who do you think you are, giving me orders?
He silently resented the young man.
"Li Que, can you really do it?" Li Xuexin asked gently at that moment.
"Don't worry, Miss Li!" Li Que flashed another charmingly confident smile at everyone and said slowly, "I've already figured out Chen Anlin's psychology. There won't be any problems."
【Ding! Success in showing off. Show-off points gained.】
Moreover, Li Que looked proudly at the crowd and added, "With my strength, I can hold him back when the time comes!"
"You can?" The young man who had looked down on him earlier expressed skepticism.
Li Que puffed out his chest proudly. "Of course I can. Just wait and see."
In that moment, he became the center of attention.
【Ding! Success in showing off. Show-off points gained.】
At this point, his eyes lit up; he had succeeded in his ambitions!
He had always wanted to exchange for blood transformation in the show-off system to enhance his cultivation level.
Finally, the level of pretentiousness was sufficient. Without hesitation, it was time to redeem it.
After reuniting with Zhou Tong and the others, Chen Anlin set out on another mission. After all, searching for treasures was much quicker when they were on the move.
As night fell, the sky was not very clear; dark clouds obscured the moon, and it seemed like it might rain. Chen Anlin found a hidden tree hollow and decided to rest there for the night. The tree was incredibly thick, requiring a person to embrace it fully to wrap around its trunk. Consequently, the hollow was quite spacious.
After tidying up a bit, Chen Anlin laid out a blanket for himself. He wondered what Su Menghan and the others were doing. With a slight sigh, he thought about how boring it was to be alone on such a long night.
Hmm, perhaps he could go find the Jade Fairy to play with. The thought of her delicate legs made him feel nostalgic; after all, the merging of souls felt entirely different from physical sensations. Merging souls felt like a sublime elevation of the spirit. It was akin to the refreshing feeling one gets after clearing their throat—invigorating without feeling empty.
"Here you are again." Upon seeing Chen Anlin approach once more, the Jade Fairy felt a shiver run through her entire being. For several days now, he had been seeking her out every night. Was she really that entertaining?
After a moment, she hesitated before asking, "Could you give me a drop of blood?" She bit her lip, finding it difficult to voice her request. She had thought that after spending time with Chen Anlin, he would naturally offer it to her without needing to ask. Little did she know, he had yet to provide any.
With a sense of helplessness, I could only ask in a low voice.
"Why should I give it to you?" Chen Anlin replied flatly.
"Because..."
Bai Yu Xianzi mumbled, "Aren't we family now?"
"Who considers you family?" Chen Anlin was almost amused.
"What happened to your pride? What happened to your reserve?"
Now she was talking about being family!
"Xianzi, it's just like this."
Bai Yu Xianzi glared at Chen Anlin.
She had been quite cooperative lately, enduring many demands with gritted teeth.
But unexpectedly, instead of receiving a kind expression from Chen Anlin, she was ridiculed instead.
Little did she know, she thought Chen Anlin considered her family.
After all, she was a little fairy and understood everything.
Men truly were not to be trusted!
Bai Yu Xianzi cursed inwardly but dared not say it aloud.
After all, her current situation and the possibility of revival all depended on Chen Anlin; she couldn't afford to offend him.
"Chen Anlin, if you give me your blood, I will teach you the way to become an immortal in the future, okay?" Bai Yu Xianzi took a step back and said.
"And how do I use this spirit stone?" Chen Anlin asked.
"The spirit stone requires a breathing technique to be effective," Bai Yu Xianzi explained.
"Then teach me the breathing technique."
"To cultivate in immortality, one must inherit a lineage; those lineages are contained within something called jade slips, which I cannot pass on."
"Huh? How can that be? The breathing technique is also a method of cultivation, right? You just need to tell me the method!" Chen Anlin frowned, suspecting that Bai Yu Xianzi was hiding something.
"The breathing technique is different; it doesn't belong to just any cultivation method. Each sect or family has its own unique breathing technique, and to prevent others from learning it, they pass it down through jade slips."
Then Bai Yu Xianzi explained further.
Only then did Chen Anlin understand that the breathing technique was not merely a method of cultivation but also a type of immortal seed!
The so-called immortal seed meant that every cultivator must inherit an immortal seed before they could begin their practice.
The immortal seed can be given to you by others or found within celestial objects. However, such encounters are rare and hard to come by. Therefore, most of the time, it is obtained through the inheritance of jade slips. Each jade slip contains an immortal seed!
I no longer possess a physical body, so I have no immortal seed. Otherwise, I would have allowed Xiao Chen to cultivate immortality back then, Bai Yu Fairy explained.
"Then what else can you do to help me?" Chen Anlin asked.
"I know some techniques, but they are not very advanced. I don't think you would benefit from them. Besides that, I have extensive knowledge, so if there's anything you don't understand in the future, feel free to ask me. Most importantly, my strength matters. The stronger my soul power becomes, the more I can assist you!"
Chen Anlin sneered, "If your soul power increases, who knows if you'll turn against me?"
"I won't, please rest assured."
"Alright then. If you want blood, let's see how you perform next." Chen Anlin took out a vial of blood.
Seeing the blood, Bai Yu Fairy gritted her teeth and walked over obediently. Moments later, she joyfully took the blood and went off to cultivate.
Chen Anlin couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. He never expected such a fairy to be so open when it came to action. Was this really the reserved fairy he had heard about?
Returning to reality, after consuming a drop of spiritual liquid, he once again immersed himself in his cultivation.
The next day, Chen Anlin sensed something unusual.
"Hey, the treasure-seeking mouse is actually coming my way!"
Chen Anlin felt a surge of joy; he had been planning to find it himself and didn't expect Li Que to come looking for him instead.
In addition to him, six other people followed behind Li Que. They seemed to be discussing something in hushed tones; just one glance made it clear they were not good people.
Chen Anlin pretended not to notice as he continued walking while searching for treasures around him.
"Chen Shao, I've finally found you."
Li Que approached with a fawning smile, but deep within his eyes flickered a murderous intent.
"What do you want with me, Li Que?" Chen Anlin asked calmly.
"I discovered a great treasure in a certain place, but unfortunately, my strength is lacking. If you want it, Chen Shao, I can take you there," Li Que said, his face filled with excitement.
Their plan was simple. In an open area, they had already set up traps. As long as Chen Anlin followed him there, they could launch a surprise attack and catch him off guard.
Chen Anlin stared at Li Que. "Oh? What treasure? After how I treated you before, you're still reporting this to me?"
"Chen Shao, if I wanted to follow you..." Li Que said earnestly, putting on a sycophantic demeanor that would make an uninformed person believe he was truly loyal.
"Then fine, you can die now."
Li Que was taken aback. "Chen Shao, don't joke around."
"I'm not joking. Go die."
The Treasure Mouse had already allied with others to deal with him, and Chen Anlin no longer intended to keep him around, lest he grow stronger through his pretentiousness. Most importantly, in just one day without seeing him, he had already reached the peak of the sixth rank!
Such a rate of progress was no small feat.
Whoosh!
A yellow lightning bolt shot swiftly toward Li Que.
Pfft!!
The sword pierced directly through Li Que's heart. He let out a terrible scream and staggered back, clutching his chest.
"Chen Anlin, how ruthless! You actually want to kill me!"
Despair filled Li Que's eyes. He had thought he could deceive Chen Anlin, but unexpectedly, Chen Anlin wasn't falling for it at all!
