Chapter 36: This Should Be My Home

"Did you kill Gao Ting'e?"

In Luo Chen's house, Wang Yuan sat sipping crystal-clear wine and suddenly asked.

"Big Brother, food can be eaten indiscriminately, and wine can be drunk casually, but words really can't be spoken indiscriminately." Luo Chen filled his cup with wine and said seriously, "It will kill people."

Wang Yuan's mouth twitched.

He picked up the braised meat Luo Chen had made and looked around casually.

"No wonder you have spirit stones to move into the inner city; it seems you've made a fortune!"

Luo Chen was speechless.

Some things cannot be hidden from those with intentions.

He bought a set of spell manuals worth two hundred spirit stones from Wang Yuan and then ran to rent a house in the inner city; no matter how you look at it, there's something fishy.

That's not property that a mere short-lived ghost like Chen Xiao could leave behind.

Plus the Dajiang Gang people coming to his door today.

Connecting the two, the answer is self-evident.

Luo Chen knew he couldn't hide it from Wang Yuan, so after Wang Yuan blocked those two Dajiang Gang cultivators for him at noon today, he specially invited him to his house and personally cooked a meal for him.

One reason was to thank Wang Yuan for his care during this period.

The second reason was to lay his cards on the table with him.

He could at least be considered Wang Yuan's little brother.

Of course, he would never admit that he killed Gao Ting'e.

"Gao Tingyuan is not a man of great tolerance, and he is very suspicious. Since you are still alive and refuse to see him, he will sooner or later suspect you."

Wang Yuan put down his chopsticks, "If you still have spirit stones, buy more elixirs to improve your cultivation and have a bit more self-preservation ability!"

Elixirs?

Luo Chen had already bought them, and he had even finished three of the five bottles of Yangqi Pills he bought last month.

Now, his cultivation progress had reached 【37/100】; thirty points were provided by the Yangqi Pills, and the extra seven points were added by his daily operation of the Changchun Gong.

However, in front of Wang Yuan, Luo Chen was still used to complaining.

"Brother Wang, you are the only relative I have in the cultivation world. If Gao Tingyuan bullies me, you must help me!"

"Hehe."

Wang Yuan stood up and walked outside.

"I've recognized the door, I'm leaving now."

"By the way, be more careful when you come in and out in the future; don't let anyone sneak in and cut your head off in the dark."

Luo Chen was skeptical, "No way, this is the inner city."

"You don't think a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Yuding Sword Sect would make a big fuss over the death of a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator, do you?"

Wang Yuan sneered, "As long as you don't make too much noise, the big shots won't care whether we live or die. And killing you silently is not a difficult task for Gao Tingyuan of the Dajiang Gang."

Cold sweat seeped out from Luo Chen's back unconsciously.

"I'm leaving. If you encounter difficulties in the future, go to the Poshan Gang headquarters in the outer city to find me."

Wang Yuan waved his hand, walked away with his hands behind his back, and left the courtyard.

In front of the wooden table, Luo Chen ate the braised dishes he had made without much taste, his mind a bit chaotic.

But it didn't take long for him to calm down.

"Tsk, how did I get scared?"

"I had already thought of these things, but Wang Yuan just said it again, confirming it for me."

"The countermeasures are nothing more than working hard to earn spirit stones, buying elixirs to improve cultivation, practicing a few more spells, mastering magic tools, and increasing self-preservation ability."

He, Luo Chen, only has this ability now.

Asking him to sneak into the Dajiang Gang headquarters in the middle of the night and kill Gao Tingyuan—he couldn't do such precautionary things.

Rather than worrying about the future, it's better to do the current things down-to-earth.

Thinking this through, Luo Chen fiercely ate all the spirit food, braised meat, and strong liquor on the table.

After eating and drinking his fill, he let out a hiccup.

Taking out a black gauze hat he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, he covered his face tightly and walked out of the house generously.

This outfit of black clothes, black pants, and a black gauze hat was indeed a bit conspicuous.

But in the inner city of Dahefang, it was not abrupt.

Among the rogue cultivators, one could always see a dozen or so people dressed similarly in a day.

The so-called concealment spells to hide one's aura and change one's appearance were not something everyone knew.

For some rogue cultivators with trouble, it was not a waste to do something that could be solved with a set of clothes.

Luo Chen was not panicked in his heart, but he had started to be careful and cautious according to what Wang Yuan said!

"Today, I earned four hundred spirit stones from Zhongmiao Pills and twenty from Grain-Avoiding Powder, plus the four hundred and twenty-five I had originally saved; my net worth is a full eight hundred and forty-five spirit stones."

Walking on the street, Luo Chen calculated his savings and started making corresponding plans for the next purchase.

Reserve at least three hundred spirit stones for that Purple Cloud Copper Furnace.

Raw materials for Zhongmiao Pills also need to be purchased; let's set a budget of four hundred spirit stones for now.

Compared to before, it has undoubtedly doubled.

But as long as they are refined, the returns are also predictable.

There are one hundred and forty-five spirit stones left; reserve one hundred spirit stones as working capital to prevent accidents.

The current him is no longer the poor cultivator who only had fifty spirit stones.

Although he doesn't lack the courage to make a comeback after failure, there is no need to really force himself to that point.

It is very necessary to reserve a sum of working capital.

As for the other forty-five spirit stones, five will be used to buy food. Luo Chen plans to use the remaining forty to refine Grain-Avoiding Powder.

Yes, Grain-Avoiding Powder.

Although this thing doesn't earn much and there are many competitors, he still plans to refine more.

Whether it's to enrich the product variety or as a side item for selling Zhongmiao Pills, it's very necessary.

The plan was made quickly, and Luo Chen didn't intend to drag it out.

With the Wind Control Art added to his body, combined with Xiaoyaoyou, Luo Chen turned into a residual shadow and ran in one direction.

A figure darted past, drawing angry curses from pedestrians.

The inner city only strictly forbids fighting, but it doesn't limit the use of spells.

What's more, Luo Chen just ran a little bit faster.

After spending an afternoon, Luo Chen finally finished the procurement work.

Even the firewood was arranged with the people at the Lingyuan Studio, asking them to pull it directly to the courtyard where he lived.

After doing all this, Luo Chen arrived in front of a building complex full of alluring fragrance.

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

"Tianxiang Pavilion"

Entering such a place for the first time, it must be said that Luo Chen was still a bit excited.

It felt quite like a little virgin avoiding friends and secretly going to an improper place by himself.

"Pah pah pah, although I'm entering an improper place, what I'm going to do is a proper thing!"

Luo Chen severely despised some dark thoughts in his heart, and then walked into Tianxiang Pavilion generously.

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

"This should be my home!"

Ahem, I'm talking about the spiritual energy concentration.

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

The feeling that just breathing a few more times made his whole body comfortable, and the Changchun Gong even wanted to operate on its own, made him deeply realize how awesome the "Spirit Gathering Array" Gu Caiyi mentioned was.

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

"This guest, we have to wait a while before receiving guests."

"I'm here to find Fellow Daoist Gu Caiyi; I'm her neighbor."

"Oh, I see, then go in. Walk straight along the lake, and there is a Yuyi Building; Miss Gu is usually there."

Miss Gu?

I'm still Miss Gu's little family.

Luo Chen didn't expect Gu Caiyi to have such a high status in Tianxiang Pavilion; the servant just now spoke with respect.

But thinking about it carefully, Gu Caiyi is a Qi Refining eighth-stage cultivator, with a bright and atmospheric appearance, and a figure with long legs, a thin waist, and a plump chest.

With such a demeanor, if combined with extraordinary dance accomplishments.

In any era, she could be called a "master."

Thinking about these things, Luo Chen arrived outside Yuyi Building. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
