An Appointment with Zhang Cunfu (4K)

In fact, Xiao Chen had already prepared Breakthrough Spirit Pill for Chen Fan.

However, since there are more effective elixirs here, we should naturally choose the better one.

Anyway, he's not short of that little bit of Little Qian.

Not only that, Xiao Chen also took out a Three Revolutions Mysterious Origin Pill and gave it to Chen Fan: "In that case, you should hurry up and refine this spiritual pill."

The Three Revolutions Mysterious Origin Pill can directly help Foundation Establishment Cultivator advance one minor realm.

In other words, it would allow Chen Fan to directly reach the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.

In this way, once you obtain the ' Golden Core Formation ', you can break through to the Core Formation realm as quickly as possible.

In addition, to ensure a smooth bidding process, he simply set aside another 1.5 million Spirit Stone.

Chen Fan was truly dumbfounded this time. "Senior, we only need to bid against the Wilderness Cultivators, we don't need this much."

To be honest, many Golden Core True Person wouldn't have this many Spirit Stone in their entire lives.

"Oh, you don't understand, this is a very necessary preparation."

Xiao Chen waved his hand. "Just remember one thing: when you're raising the price, you have to be assertive."

"If he dares to add 100,000, you add 200,000; if he dares to add 300,000, you add 1 million."

"Spirit Stone are meant to be spent."

In short, you'll understand later.

After sharing his insights on life, Xiao Chen also gave them two jars of Spirit Wine.

Only then did he get up and leave.

Oh, right.

As he reached the door, Xiao Chen suddenly turned back. "I almost forgot, I actually know two healing Law Technique."

"Take me inside, let me try to dispel the miasma."

He had previously learned the <Azure Rain Vein Nourishing Art> purely to help Han Chuan True Monarch heal his injuries.

Therefore, after that, the Law Technique was never used again, and he almost forgot that he could use healing magic.

"Ah? Oh! This way, please, senior."

Hearing Xiao Chen's unreliable statement, Chen Fan was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on and invited him inside.

Regardless of whether it could be cured or not, since his senior had this idea, he couldn't directly oppose it.

Moreover, healing Law Technique are usually quite gentle, and as long as nothing serious goes wrong, they won't kill anyone.

There was indeed a strange smell in the room, and a middle-aged or elderly female cultivator was lying on the bed.

Especially his eyes, which even seemed a little cloudy.

The dignified Foundation Establishment Cultivator's hair had turned yellow and white, and his face was ashen, indicating that he had indeed suffered greatly.

Of course, it must also be related to the Soul Nurturing Jade.

"Chen Fan, remember to keep an eye on them and make sure they stop supporting Double Jade."

Xiao Chen instructed directly, "Don't worry about it, it'll be finished soon. You can destroy the jade yourself later."

I'll cover the losses.

He then directly performed the <Greater Spring Return Spell> once, followed by the <Azure Rain Vein Nourishing Art> once.

After thinking about it one last time, I added another one: Water Healing Art.

It can be said that he used all three of his only healing Law Technique.

It must be said that the final treatment effect was indeed immediate.

Although none of these three Law Technique are actually the right solution, the first two are, after all, a Third-tier Spell and a Fourth-Order Spell, respectively.

Therefore, by relying on the powerful Wood Element Spiritual Power, all the miasma was completely washed away.

The <Azure Rain Vein Nourishing Art> even effectively cleansed the meridians.

The erysipelas left from prolonged contact with Failed Pills was also completely purified.

As the emerald green light faded, the other person's yellow and white hair turned back to black, and although their face was still withered, some color returned.

"Done."

Xiao Chen was very satisfied, thinking to himself that he was indeed a divine doctor, "Then you should focus on your cultivation. I'll come see you again in a while."

After saying that, he left again and went to Gui Yun Market.

He had just reached the entrance of the market when he saw several bright red Wanted Notice that had been updated.

Xiao Chen originally thought that the Market Warehouse had been attacked again.

After all, he remembered hearing an explosion from that direction before he left last time.

Upon closer inspection, however, these newly posted Wanted Notice had absolutely no connection to the Market Warehouse.

Instead, they were all confirmed to be evil cultivators and demonic cultivators who had joined the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

According to the Wanted Notice poster, they persuaded a rogue cultivator who had mistakenly joined the Rebellious Immortal Alliance to open up a precise list of names.

The people listed so far are only a portion of the total.

It was also specifically noted that these people are all heinous thugs, and everyone should be very careful.

Once discovered, it must be reported immediately.

Do not panic, do not make a fuss, do not gather around, and do not touch without authorization.

"Oh, so we're just leaving the warehouse thing as it is?"

Xiao Chen had originally planned to use the Wanted Notice to indirectly find out about the situation at the warehouse.

It looks like it's not going to work.

Does this mean the perpetrators of the later attack have already been caught?

Surely not? Shouldn't they be fully prepared before launching a surprise attack?

Filled with doubt, Xiao Chen arrived at the vicinity of the Market Warehouse.

Then it suddenly dawned on me that if I didn't intend to expose myself, I couldn't just go inside and meet people.

So how can I meet Zhang Cunfu?

"Oh no, I forgot to leave a contact code last time."

Xiao Chen had never dealt with this before, so he carelessly forgot to agree on a secret code or a fixed meeting place.

This was somewhat unprofessional.

But it doesn't matter, after all, he is Nascent Soul True Lord.

Xiao Chen immediately used his Divine Sense to quietly probe into the Market Warehouse and found Zhang Cunfu's location.

Then, he used his Divine Sense to whisper in his ear, "Come out for a bit. I'll be waiting for you at the usual place."

His method of transmitting messages cannot be considered confidential.

However, as long as there is no other Nascent Soul True Lord in the warehouse, or no fully activated Fourth-tier Grand Array, no anomalies will be detected.

Zhang Cunfu was sorting out accounts when he suddenly heard Xiao Chen's voice and was immediately startled.

It wasn't until they realized that the people around them were all busy with their own things, seemingly completely unaware of anything unusual.

Only then did he feel a little relieved. He made up an excuse and hurriedly left, heading to the alley he had been in before.

"Have you missed me after two months apart?"

As usual, Xiao Chen appeared behind him.

Zhang Cunfu was startled again.

Because he had been silently approached from behind, he went back and specifically bought a Spirit Artifact that could detect the surrounding cultivators.

I had placed it in my arms before coming.

However, to my surprise, it had absolutely no effect.

So, with his abilities, resisting is indeed too difficult?

Zhang Cunfu couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

What he didn't know was that, in the past, detecting Spirit Artifact might indeed have been effective.

However, before Xiao Chen came here this time, he had just practiced the newly acquired Breath Concealing Art —the <Breathless Shadowless Curse>.

This Cultivation Method can perfectly conceal his aura and Divine Sense fluctuations.

Even cultivators of the same level can only rely on visual observation.

After receiving the Hextech Buff, unless encountering a top-tier Fourth-tier Grand Array, Nascent Soul Great Perfection, or Spirit Transformation Venerable, they will basically not be detected by other cultivators.

The only drawback is that before reaching the highest level, one cannot use Law Technique to attack others while in stealth mode.

Zhang Cunfu carrying a Third-Tier Spirit Tool was, of course, utterly useless.

However, he had already considered that the detection Spirit Artifact might be useless before he came, and he was just trying it out anyway.

Now that they've discovered the Spirit Artifact is indeed ineffective, they immediately became much more obedient.

He turned around respectfully and bowed, saying, "This humble one pays his respects to the True Lord."

"Last time, I relied heavily on Your True Lord's support. During this time, I have been thinking about how I can serve Your True Lord in the future."

That was, of course, a lie; in fact, he didn't want to see Xiao Chen at all.

He even complained inwardly, "Doesn't this Nascent Soul True Lord need to cultivate?"

Why do you always have time to run around outside?

"Really? Well, that shows you're very thoughtful."

Xiao Chen didn't believe it at all, but that didn't matter.

Since he was there to ask for information, he said directly, "I'm going to ask you a few questions. Just answer truthfully."

"If you don't know something, you can just say you don't know."

"But if I find out you're hiding something, you're dead. Understand?"

Zhang Cunfu quickly nodded. "Understood, understood! Please ask True Lord, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Xiao Chen didn't waste any words. "The first question."

"Since our last meeting, the warehouse has been attacked again. Why haven't any new Wanted Notice been issued?"

Upon hearing this question...

Zhang Cunfu's expression changed rapidly several times before he replied, "Reporting to the True Lord, the one who attacked this time was a scoundrel."

"I also heard that he has a personal grudge against Chief Manager Li in the warehouse."

"And somehow they acquired Demonic Dao Secret Technique like the ' Blood Feeding Secret Method,' and actually cultivated a Blood Feeding Sword."

"After breaking into the warehouse, they first went straight for Chief Manager Li, and then killed everyone they saw."

"Finally, he was subdued on the spot by the combined efforts of all the Guest Elder Inspector."

"He's currently imprisoned in the Sect Prison, and I don't know what happened next."

"However, according to past procedures, their identity should have already been confirmed as legitimate, and they should not belong to those rebel groups of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, so there should be no additional warrant issued."

At this point, a hint of relief appeared on Zhang Cunfu's face.

When he returned, he found that Chief Manager Li was dead, and he was initially quite happy.

Before the sect arrived to investigate, one of Chief Manager Li's confidants suddenly approached and revealed the original plan to frame him.

So Zhang Cunfu, quick-witted as ever, decided to turn the tables on them.

They hid the Cultivation Method that was originally intended to frame him directly with Chief Manager Li.

They even shifted the blame for the loss of the Yellow-grade Technique they had secretly given to Xiao Chen onto him.

This perfectly illustrates what a scapegoat truly is.

Later, with the help of a large number of Spirit Stone and offerings of spiritual items, he successfully removed the title of "deputy" and rose to the position of "general manager".

Now, the shortage of Deputy Manager is a problem, and he is temporarily in charge of looking after all the warehouses in Gui Yun Market.

Zhang Cunfu naturally did not hide this fact.

Instead, he went out of his way to recount his past grievances with Chief Manager Li, and then thanked Xiao Chen, saying, "This time, thanks to Lord True Lord, I was able to advance further."

"I am deeply grateful for your immense kindness!"

"If you ever need to trade spiritual items in the future, please just give the order, and I will do my best to handle it."

Zhang Cunfu took the initiative to tell these things and even deliberately acted as if he was extremely grateful.

It's because he wants to demonstrate his usefulness and future potential.

After returning home last time, he sat down and thought quietly for several days, and finally understood his situation.

Since he's already on this pirate ship, there's no hope of getting off halfway.

It's better to take the initiative and demonstrate your usefulness; that way, you're less likely to become a pawn or be assigned to particularly dangerous missions.

That's why Zhang Cunfu offered to help resell the spiritual items.

After all, in his view, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance was severely blocked, and many of its cultivators came from the wasteland and were extremely lacking in spiritual resources.

His current position is just right to alleviate this problem.

"Wow, I didn't realize you had this kind of heart."

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised to hear this. Last time, this guy had acted timidly, but this time he actually volunteered.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a real Rebellious Immortal Alliance Member.

There was absolutely no need for Zhang Cunfu to help resell the spiritual items.

Um?

Wait, it seems there's a need for that too.

But instead of buying from him, I asked him to help me resell them.

"That works too."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Since you're so interested, I'll give you a task involving trading spiritual items."

After saying that, he took off the Sundries Ring from his hand and handed it over. "Find a way to sell the spiritual items inside."

ah?

Zhang Cunfu was taken aback. What was that?

He was quite pleased after hearing the first two sentences.

As expected, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance needs him. As long as he can provide spiritual items relatively stably in the future, he can protect his own safety.

His earlier words weren't in vain; his self-preservation plan worked!

However, upon hearing Xiao Chen's last sentence...

Zhang Cunfu felt as if he had misheard something.

He looked down in disbelief at the gleaming Storage Ring handed to him.

This confirmed that Xiao Chen had indeed asked him to sell the spiritual items, and not that he was secretly taking them out to sell.

Oh no, this is it!

Zhang Cunfu felt a chill run down his spine. He had thought that his promotion would make him more useful.

I never imagined we'd be completely devoured so quickly.

Without even looking, it's obvious that the ring contains some Bloody Demonic Path Materials that need to be sold secretly, or even mixed with normal spiritual materials to cause damage.

This kind of thing often happens secretly.

However, almost all black market merchants who sell Demonic Path Material do not live more than three years before being caught by the major sects, and then subjected to severe torture and their bones reduced to ashes.

Zhang Cunfu was almost in tears. "Excuse me, what should I do with this batch of goods?"

He didn't dare to refuse outright at this moment.

After all, dying now is different from dying three years later.

So he tremblingly accepted the Storage Ring and cautiously inquired about the specific requirements for selling it.

The question remains: is it intended to be sold to independent cultivators, or mixed into the materials procured by the sect?

"You need to ask me about this?"

Xiao Chen looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You're a Market Warehouse, don't you know how to sell spiritual items?"

"Just sell spiritual items the way you usually do it in private."

"You just said you'd do your best to get it done, were you lying to me?"

"Um?"

The last "hmm" was hummed through Xiao Chen's nose.
