The Marketplace, Treasure Hall.

When Chen An arrived, the sky was still bright. The Treasure Hall had yet to open for business.

However, there were already many Cultivators setting up stalls near the Treasure Hall.

Some sold talismans, some sold medicinal pills, and some sold weapons.

As long as it could be bought at the Treasure Hall, it could be bought at these street stalls.

The only difference was that the Treasure Hall was more expensive, but there was after-sales guarantee.

The ones sold at the stalls were relatively cheap, but there was a certain chance that the goods were defective and got scammed instead.

Chen An had nothing to do. He scanned the goods placed on the stalls from afar to see if there was anything interesting to buy.

When he swept his gaze under a towering tree, he saw Dabao and the old Cultivator setting up a stall to sell spiritual fish.

Dabao was very diligent. Whenever he saw a Cultivator passing by, he would shout to solicit customers.

Chen An glanced at the spiritual fish in the stall. It was quite delicious, fat, and tender. He thought that he could buy one when he returned to make soup and steam it.

Spiritual fish was good for women’s skin. He wanted to nourish his three wives.

A sound suddenly came from the Treasure Hall behind him.

Chen An thought that the Treasure Hall had opened the door.

However, when he turned around, he realized that the door of the Treasure Hall was still closed. It was opened by a window on the second floor of the door.

He raised his head and saw a woman in plain white brocade clothes standing in front of the window. Her fair hands were on the edge of the window, and she slightly raised her proud semicircle. Her beautiful face was facing the sky, and she was closing her eyes and taking deep breaths of the fresh air outside the window.

This woman was very beautiful, as beautiful as his three wives at home. But beauty in a different style.

Song Huaying was agile.

Gu Xinyue was cool.

Wen Zhiyun was charming.

On the other hand, the woman in front of the window upstairs gave off a pure and flawless beauty that made people want to taint her.

Chen An was tempted.

He did not expect such a beautiful female Cultivator to be hidden in this small Bamboo Leaf Forest.

In an instant, the desire to take a concubine hidden in the depths of his heart began to stir again.

Hmm?

As he looked on, Chen An suddenly frowned.

He kept feeling that the fairy in front of the window upstairs looked a little familiar.

He searched his mind, continuously.

Finally, a name flashed through his mind: Shen Qingyi.

What the hell? Was the beautiful woman in front of the window the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect who killed without blinking?

For a moment, Chen An thought he had seen it wrongly.

In his impression, Shen Qingyi’s upper body was almost flat. She looked inferior to many men with slightly more developed chest muscles.

And now, her body did not look inferior to the arrogant concubine Wen Zhiyun at home. She was not ambiguous in any way and could be said to be graceful.

It seemed that when Shen Qingyi usually wore black clothes, she was most likely wrapped in cloth.

It was to make it easier for her to move.

Otherwise, the burden on her upper body would be too great, and it would be inconvenient for her to even swing her sword.

Speaking of which, he wondered what attributes he would be able to increase after having sex with Shen Qingyi.

As Chen An sized up Shen Qingyi, who was standing in front of the window upstairs, he was thinking about these things.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi sensed that she was being watched. She looked down and realized that Chen An was staring at her motionlessly. She could not help but frown slightly. She turned around and left the window, disappearing.

When Chen An saw this, he thought to himself that he had left a bad impression on this female Foundation Establishment expert.

“Eh?”

“Alchemist Chen, you’re here so early?”

As soon as Shopkeeper Liu opened the door of the Treasure Hall, he saw Chen An standing tall and straight in front of the door. He could not help but feel surprised.

Chen An smiled and greeted, “Morning, Shopkeeper Liu.”

“Good morning, Alchemist Chen.”

Shopkeeper Liu replied politely and continued, “Alchemist Chen, the person sent by the Treasure Pavilion to check the accounts isn’t that early. You came too early.”

“It’s better to come early than later. After all, if we miss this time, we’ll have to wait for another half a year.”

“That’s true.”

Shopkeeper Liu nodded.

Chen An smiled and did not say anything. He entered the Treasure Hall and casually found a place to sit down, waiting for the person in charge of accounting at the Treasure Pavilion to come.

The business at the Treasure Hall was good today. Not long after it opened, people came in one after another.

Shopkeeper Liu was extremely busy.

No one spoke. Since Chen An had nothing to do, he wandered around alone to see if there were any new goods for sale in the treasure shop.

“Benefactor, it’s you!”

When he walked to a shelf near the door, Chen An heard a female voice behind him.

He turned around and realized that it was the female Cultivator he and Shen Qingyi had saved that day.

After some communication, Chen An got to know her a bit better.

The female Cultivator’s name was Pan Hui, and she was a low-level female Cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

She had a husband at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

However, because she could not afford the rent, her husband was brought to the battlefield by the Bamboo Leaf Gang two months ago.

Until now, he had not returned home once. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.

By the way, Alchemist Chen, you’re here so early. You haven’t eaten breakfast yet, right? 1 made a pot of spiritual fish porridge and brought it over. If you don’t mind, let’s eat together later?”

Pan Hui raised the clay pot in her hand and invited him warmly.

Chen An wanted to say no, but before he could reject her, Pan Hui suddenly walked quickly towards the stairs.

“Qingyi, I specially made a pot of spiritual fish porridge for you. Let’s find a place to sit down and eat!”

Pan Hui said to Shen Qingyi, who had just come downstairs, with a smile.

Chen An looked over and his gaze landed on Shen Qingyi.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi had already changed into a black martial arts outfit. Her hair, which had originally fallen over her shoulders, was also tied up high. Compared to the appearance she had just seen in front of the window, she was less feminine and more valiant and heroic.

“Alchemist Chen, come and eat with us!”

After Pan Hui brought Shen Qingyi to a seat and sat down, she immediately waved at Chen An.

Chen An replied, “Ok, coming.”

This was an opportunity to get close to Shen Qingyi. He had to seize it.

After all, being able to get to know a Foundation Establishment expert would be very beneficial to his future life.

After sitting down for a moment, the three of them ate and chatted.

Although the three of them were chatting, Pan Hui was basically the one chatting with the other two.

Chen An and Shen Qingyi did not speak directly.

During this period, Chen An asked curiously why their relationship had suddenly become so good.

They clearly did not know each other half a month ago.

After that, he found out from Pan Hui that in order to repay Shen Qingyi for helping him, she specially found out that Shen Qingyi lived in the Treasure Hall. Then, she came to the Treasure Hall every day to deliver food and drinks to Shen Qingyi. She tried her best to repay Shen Qingyi within her capabilities.

As time passed, Pan Hui learned that Shen Qingyi abhors evil and often went out to punish evildoers.

Hence, she used the fact that she had lived in the Bamboo Leaf Forest for many years to tell Shen Qingyi who the evil people in the Bamboo Leaf Forest were.

With her help, Shen Qingyi’s efficiency in punishing evil increased significantly.

As time passed, the two of them got along very well with each other and became good friends.

“Alchemist Chen, the security of the Bamboo Leaf Gang is so good now because of me, Pan Hui.”

Pan Hui said proudly.

Chen An praised her politely. “I see. I think the residents of the entire Bamboo Leaf Forest and the patrol team of the Bamboo Leaf Gang should thank Fellow Cultivator Pan.”

Although he said that, he could not help but worry for Pan Hui.

For example, Pan Hui’s intentions was good, but it was very easy to offend people and be hated by others.

To put it bluntly, it would not be strange if Pan Hui died on the streets one day.

After all, her actions had directly threatened the safety of those evil people.

However, Chen An could not say these words. It was easy to offend people, and it was thankless.

This was because Shen Qingyi needed an informant like Pan Hui, and Pan Hui also needed to use this method to befriend Shen Qingyi, who was a Foundation Establishment expert.

This was a mutually beneficial way of interacting for both of them.

As an outsider, Chen An felt that there was no need for him to get involved. Otherwise, he would be in trouble later.

But in the end, this was actually just his own thoughts.

Even in chaotic times, not everyone liked to stay out of trouble. There were always people who liked to help when they saw injustice.

Perhaps Pan Hui did not care if she would offend anyone at all. She only wanted to contribute to the security of the Bamboo Leaf Forest.

Cultivating in seclusion was not suitable for everyone..
