Chen An stayed overnight at Baoyuan Pavilion. He was not surprised to hear that Mu Jingtai had come here three or four times in the past six months. Mu Jingtai valued friendship and genuinely considered Chen An a friend, which was why he kept coming.

Unfortunately, he had just been here three days ago and wouldn't be back anytime soon, so he wouldn't be able to run into Chen An.

At this time, Shen Qinghe was still in confinement. He begged his master to let him out, refusing to believe Elder Mingsan's claim that Chen An might never return to the sect. He insisted on asking Chen An in person before he would give up. His master thought his disciple had lost his mind.

As Chen An walked past the place where Shen Qinghe used to lie, she thought of him. She always felt that Shen Qinghe was being imprisoned, but she couldn't explain why.

After chatting with the Shen family grandfather and grandson for a while, Chen An felt a breakthrough. She returned to her guest room alone, set up an ingenious array around herself, and then entered the Dragon Bone.

Fu Gui lay on his side next to the alchemy furnace. Every time the alchemist successfully refined a pill, Tank would bring it over, and he would start consuming the pills without stopping for a moment, living a very comfortable and carefree life.

Chen An sat cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing. In less than half an incense stick's time, he successfully broke through.

The golden core, the size of an egg, floated in the dantian, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy sent in by Chen An during his cultivation, and becoming rich and moist.

[Rewards for completing the Core Formation: Talent increased, Martial Power increased, Speed ​​increased, Mind Reading increased by 640 times, High-grade Spirit Stone increased by 100, Array Stone increased by 294, High-grade Pill increased by 294, Top-grade Xuan Iron Sword increased by 32, Cultivation Technique "Illusory Sand Token", Health increased by 2560, Golden Silk Robe increased by 64, "Clear Rain Painting" increased by 1, Spaceship increased by 16, Momentary Tent increased by 8, Xuan Iron Sword Armor increased by 400, Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Iron increased by 100 jin, Pure Land increased by 5 jin.]

Pick up within three days

After storing the items in his storage ring, Chen An continued to hone his skills until sunrise the next day when he finally produced the dragon bone. Just before leaving, he took Fu Gui out.

She wasn't complaining that Fugui ate too much; she was afraid that if he kept eating, the cat would burst from the sheer amount of spiritual energy.

Fugui pawed at Chen'an's hand with its right paw, looking defiant. Chen'an accidentally grabbed its head and rubbed it for a while until Fugui was dizzy and disoriented. Chen'an then took it out, satisfied.

Feng Shouyuan had prepared all the money last night and was waiting at the door early this morning.

Chen An put Fu Gui down, deactivated the magic array, opened the door, looked at the storage ring handed over by Feng Shouyuan, smiled awkwardly, and put the spirit stones into his pocket.

A thousand high-grade spirit stones may not be much for Chen An, but for other cultivators it would be a fortune.

The elderly man in front of me was in excellent spirits after experiencing a second spring in his career. His white hair was tightly tied back, and his eyes were full of determination to make something of himself.

"Please come in and have a seat," Chen An said with a smile, inviting Feng Shouyuan in.

Feng Shouyuan felt his back stiffen. When they met yesterday, the person in front of him was very familiar with him. Now he was being so polite. He was afraid that Chen An needed his help. However, he was not afraid that Chen An was asking him for help, but that he was afraid that Chen An would not do it well.

After welcoming the person in, Chen An immediately poured a cup of nourishing tea and winked brightly for help.

"Tell me what it is, and I will do anything, even die for it."

Seeing that Feng Shouyuan was about to kneel, Chen An quickly grabbed his shoulders and put him on the stool: "You're seventy or eighty years old, can't you get rid of your habit of kneeling?"

Feng Shouyuan was taken aback by Chen An's anger. After nodding, he awkwardly began to clasp his hands.

"I really have something to tell you." Chen An pressed Feng Shouyuan's shoulder and continued, "Baoyuanzhai's business is getting bigger and bigger. Have you thought about opening a branch?"

Feng Shouyuan found it hard to believe. When he was still a passionate young man, he wanted to open Baoyuanzhai all over the continent. How did Chen An find out?

He immediately declared, "This isn't me helping you, it's you helping me. Don't worry, I've been taking a lot of longevity-promoting herbs these days, so I won't die anytime soon. I guarantee I'll finish."

Chen An carefully removed his hands, afraid that the old man would kneel down to him again.

"Don't worry, I won't kneel anymore. If the branch opens well, I'll be the big boss. Kneeling again would be embarrassing." Feng Shouyuan walked out with a simple smile, thinking about where to open the store.

After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around, saying, "I will give you the money for the branch store as well, and you are not allowed to refuse."

Chen An hadn't intended to refuse from the start, and nodded somewhat awkwardly, but his meaning was misunderstood.

Three meters away, Feng Shouyuan knelt down with lightning speed and shouted, "You are not allowed to hesitate, you must, or I will kneel here to my death."

Chen An felt his vision go black, and after helping Feng Shouyuan up, he summoned a strong wind that swept him away.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door: "My benefactor, are you inside? To be honest, I have a favor to ask of you."

Chen An put Fu Gui down, stood at the door, took several deep breaths before opening it, and asked politely with a stiff smile, "What do you want to say?"

"It's about Mingli." Feng Shouyuan squeezed into the house from next to Chen An and said apologetically, "I always felt that Xiaoli had talent. Could you test whether she has the talent for cultivating immortality?"

Testing one's talent for cultivating immortality is not difficult, but Chen An really hadn't learned this technique. She smiled awkwardly, and suddenly a cat meowed behind her.

The two turned around, and Fugui nodded resolutely. Seeing this expression, Chen An's heart broke. How could the cute little cat have become like this?

"There is one?" Feng Shouyuan rushed over, held Fugui high, and shouted, "Divine Cat!"

Chen An felt even more distressed when she saw Fu Gui's disdainful expression. Fu Gui had become more and more human-like lately, and she couldn't accept that the cat she had raised had suddenly turned into a human. She couldn't accept it.

"Meow." Fu Gui meowed in a high-pitched voice, his pupils dilated, and he transformed into an absolutely adorable cat.

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Gui acting cute again. No matter what Fu Gui became, she would still love him.

Chen An smiled and stepped forward to take Fu Gui. He then said to Feng Shouyuan, "If you are willing to let Mingli go to the Xuhua Sect, I will send her there. Meng Huan is my sworn brother, and I will ask him to take good care of her."

Feng Shouyuan stood there, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. "Mingli said he wants to stay by my side." Then he quickly walked over.

As Chen An watched Feng Shouyuan's retreating figure, he activated his mind-reading ability and, upon hearing the thoughts in Meng Huan's mind, couldn't help but worry about him.

"We must not let our benefactor know what Young Master Mu instructed us to do."

Just as he was about to hear more, Feng Shouyuan closed the door, ending the mind-reading session.

Chen An nervously picked up Fu Gui, put him into the dragon bone, and headed towards the Xu Hua Sect.
