“Did you kill Gao Tingye?”

In Luo Chen’s home, Wang Yuan sat, sipping a crystal clear wine, and suddenly asked.

“Brother, you can eat any dish and drink any wine, but be careful what you say.” Luo Chen filled his cup and said seriously, “It could be dangerous.” At the corner of Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched.

He picked up pieces of braised pork Luo Chen had made, his eyes casually scanned the surroundings.

“No wonder you were able to move to the Inner City with spirit stones, you must have made a fortune!”

Luo Chen responded with silence.

There are some things one cannot hide from those who care.

He had purchased a technique secret manual from Wang Yuan worth two hundred spirit stones and had moved to rent a house in the Inner City – something was suspicious.

That was not a fortune Chen Xiao, with his short-lived life, could have left.

Adding the fact that people from the Great Lake Gang had shown today.

Once these details were connected, the answer was self-evident.

Luo Chen knew that he couldn’t fool Wang Yuan. That’s why after Wang Yuan blocked two cultivators of the Great Lake Gang for him earlier today, he had specially invited him home, to personally prepare a meal for him.

Firstly, to thank him for his care during this period.

Secondly, there was a need to clear things up.

After all, he could be considered as someone under Wang Yuan’s care.

However, he would never admit that he killed Gao Tingye.

“Gao Tingyuan is narrow-minded and suspicious. Now that you’re alive and unwilling to meet him, he’s bound to suspect you.”

Wang Yuan put down his chopsticks, “If you have spirit stones left, buy more elixirs, increase your cultivation level, and improve your ability to defend.” Elixirs?

Luo Chen bought them long ago. In fact, he had bought and used three out of five Qi Nurturing Pills last month.

His current cultivation progress had reached 37/100, with thirty points derived from the Qi Nurturing Pill and the rest from his daily practice of the Longevity Technique.

However, in front of Wang Yuan, Luo Chen complained out of habit.

“Brother Wang, in the world of Immortal Cultivation, you’re the closes person to me. If Gao Tingyuan bullies me, you must help me!”

“Hehe.”

Wang Yuan stood up and walked to the door.

‘Tve recognized the route, I will leave now.”

“By the way, pay attention when you go in and out. Don’t let someone sneak in and cut off your head in the dark.”

Luo Chen looked doubtful “No way, this is the Inner City”.

You don’t think the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yu Ding Sword Sect would wage war over the death of a middle stage Qi Refinement Cultivator?”

Wang Yuan chuckled, “As long as it doesn’t cause too much commotion, the higher-ups won’t care about our lives. For Gao Tingyuan of Great Lake Gang, killing you quietly is not difficult.”

Cold sweat unconsciously seeped down Luo Chen’s back.

“I’ve already left. If you run into trouble in the future, you can find me at the

Main Hall of the Broken Mountain Gang in the Outer City.”

Wang Yuan waved his hand, walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Luo Chen’s courtyard with a majestic stride.

At the wooden table, Luo Chen ate the braised vegetables he had cooked with a bitterness in his mouth, his mind a little chaotic.

But soon after, he calmed down.

“Damn, why was I scared then?”

“Didn’t I already think about all of this? It’s simply that Wang Yuan repeated it, confirming my speculations.”

“The countermeasure is nothing more than to earn Spirit Stones, buy elixirs to enhance cultivation, practice more techniques, perfect mastery of my magical tools, and enhance my self-defense capabilities.”

This was all that Luo Chen could do now.

He couldn’t sneak into the headquarters of the Great Lake Gang in the middle of the night and kill Gao Tingyuan as a pre-emptive strike.

Instead of worrying about unlikely scenarios, it’s better to focus wholly on the tasks at hand.

Once Luo Chen understood this, he ate all the food and drink on the table with newfound determination.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he let out a satisfied burp.

He took out a prepared black veil with a bamboo hat from the storage bag, completely covering his face, and went out boldly.

This outfit, entirely in black, seemed conspicuous.

But in the Inner City of the Great River District, it didn’t stand out.

There were similar outfits among the rogue cultivators, and about a dozen could be seen every day.

The so-called technique of concealing one’s breath and changing one’s appearance was not something everyone could master.

For some rogue cultivators with troubles, they wouldn’t hesitate to solve them with a simple change of clothes.

Luo Chen was calm, but as per Wang Yuan’s advice, he was careful and cautious when coming in and out.

“Today, I made four hundred from the Allure Pills, twenty from the Fasting Elixirs, plus the four hundred and twenty-five I had saved up before, I now have a total of eight hundred and forty-five Spirit Stones.”

Walking on the street, Luo Chen calculated his savings and began planning his future purchases.

He reserved at least three hundred Spirit Stones for the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace.

The raw materials for the Allure Pills needed to be purchased as well, so he provisionally budgeted four hundred Spirit Stones!

Compared to before, this was undoubtedly double.

But as long as they were refined, the profits were foreseeable.

He was left with one hundred and forty-five Spirit Stones. He reserved one hundred Spirit Stones for emergency funds.

He was no longer the poor cultivator he once was with only fifty Spirit Stones to his name.

Although he wasn’t lacking in courage to rise again after failure, it wasn’t necessary to push himself to that point either.

Keeping some funds for turnover was necessary.

As for the remaining forty-five Spirit Stones, five would be used to purchase meals. The remaining forty, Luo Chen planned to use all to refine Fasting Elixirs.

Yes, Fasting Elixirs.

Although they didn’t bring in much profit and there was a lot of competition, he still planned to refine more.

Whether it was to diversify his product line or as a perk when selling Allure

Pills, it was necessary.

The plan was quickly made, and Luo Chen didn’t intend to delay.

Add the Wind Riding Technique to his body, combining it with Carefree

Wandering, Luo Chen turned into a residual image and dashed in one direction.

A figure whizzed past, causing pedestrians to curse.

The Inner City only prohibited fighting, but didn’t restrict the use of magic techniques.

Besides, Luo Chen was just running a little bit faster, that’s it.

After spending an afternoon, Luo Chen had finally finished his shopping.

Even the firewood was sorted, he had arranged with the people at the Spirit

Source Study to have it directly delivered to his courtyard.

Having finished all this, Luo Chen arrived in front of a building complex filled with alluring fragrance.

Raising his head and looking through the black gauze hat, Luo Chen looked at the three big characters above.

“Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion”

Entering such place for the first time, Luo Chen had to admit he was a bit excited.

It felt like a young virgin, avoiding friends, and secretly going to some improper place alone.

Pfft, even though it’s an improper place, what I’m going to do is proper!”

Luo Chen sternly despised some darker thoughts in his heart, and then boldly stepped into the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

As soon as he entered, he felt like a fish in water.

“This should be my home!”

Cough cough, meant the concentration of Spirit Qi.

Just standing for a while, Luo Chen noticed the difference between inside and outside the pavilion.

Just by breathing a few more times, he felt completely relaxed, and the Longevity Technique even wanted to operate on its own. This let him truly realize how powerful the “Gathering Spirit Array” that Gu Caiyi mentioned was.

If he could live here every day, how great would that be!

This guest, we will start receiving customers in a while.”

I m here to find Friend Caiyi, I’m her neighbor.”

“Oh, I see, you can go in then. Straight along the lake is the Feathers Clothes

Building, that’s where Miss Gu usually is.”

Miss Gu?

I’m still Mr. Luo.

Luo Chen hadn’t expected that Gu Caiyi had a rather high status in the

Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. The servant, who just spoke, was respectful in his tone.

However, upon careful thought, Gu Caiyi was in the Eighth Level Qi

Refinement, had a bright and elegant appearance, long legs, slim waist, and an ample chest.

With such a demeanor, coupled with remarkable dancing skills.

In any era, she would indeed qualify as a “Miss”.

While thinking about these random things, Luo Chen arrived outside the

Feathers Clothes Building..
