A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Looking at the handsome young man sleeping in front of her, Chen Qiaoqian blushed. Recalling the scenes from before, she felt as if she were on fire, and for a while she was still in a daze.

Tonight's experience was quite bizarre, going from extreme terror to extreme pleasure. The ups and downs left her feeling completely bewildered, as if she were dreaming.

Her boyfriend, with whom she had always been inseparable, actually wanted to kill her? And then she had a one-night stand with this junior brother she had never even met. After such an experience, Senior Sister Chen couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Senior Sister Chen!"

The person beside her suddenly opened their eyes. Chen Qiaoqian nodded silently in response, unsure of what to say.

Lin He quickly said, "Senior Sister Chen, we've already wasted a lot of time here. We need to leave quickly. Don't forget, Senior Brother Lu died here."

Mentioning Senior Brother Lu, Chen Qiaoqian finally came to her senses. Recalling what had happened, she was filled with rage, but then realized she couldn't find Senior Brother Lu's body. She couldn't help but ask...

"Where did Lu's body go?"

"I burned it. By the way, Senior Sister Chen, you should put on some clothes first, so you don't catch a cold."

Lin He quickly reminded her, and Chen Qiaoqian felt a cool sensation on her body upon hearing this. Her face turned red. Her storage bag had been rummaged through by Senior Brother Lu, and her clothes were thrown on the ground. She quickly went over to pick up her clothes and put them on. She even hid in the stone cave to avoid being spied on by Lin He.

Seeing this, Lin He couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Senior Sister Chen, you've already seen everything you should and shouldn't have seen, what are you still hiding for?"

"You..." Chen Qiaoqian was furious when she heard this after she finished dressing, but then she seemed to remember something and her tone softened a lot. After all, she was the one who took the initiative first, so she couldn't blame the other party.

"Junior brother, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would really be dead at this guy's hands. By the way, what's your name?"

"Lin He!"

"So it's Junior Brother Lin," Chen Qiaoqian nodded. "Thank you very much, Junior Brother Lin. By the way, what about that storage bag belonging to the man surnamed Lu..."

Lin He understood what she was talking about, and quickly handed her a Foundation Establishment Pill. "This Foundation Establishment Pill originally belonged to Senior Sister Chen. Now it's being returned to its rightful owner. However, I killed this man surnamed Lu, and I took everything from his storage bag, including his Foundation Establishment Pill. Senior Sister Chen doesn't have any objections, right?"

Chen Qiaoqian happily accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, then shook her head and said, "It's only right. You killed him and saved me, so these spoils should be yours."

Lin He shamelessly claimed credit for the crime. It was clearly Han Li who killed Senior Brother Lu, but after Han Li was driven away by him, Chen Qiaoqian naturally subconsciously thought that Lin He had killed Senior Brother Lu. After all, there was no one else here, and she had taken a pill at the time, so she was confused and couldn't remember anything.

"Although Senior Brother Lu's character is terrible, he is a genuine wind spirit root. If he dies here, Yellow Maple Valley will definitely send people to investigate. If they really trace it back to me, I'm afraid..."

Lin He suddenly interjected, his expression grave. Chen Qiaoqian quickly said, "This has nothing to do with you. You killed him to save me. He's the one who truly deserves to die! Don't worry, leave this to the Chen family."

Lin He had been waiting for this very sentence. Hearing Chen Qiaoqian agree, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I should leave here as soon as possible. If I'm discovered, things could get bad."

With the Chen family's power, if they step in, even if the Lu family is unwilling, they will probably have no choice but to accept it. After all, it was Senior Brother Lu who did something unethical, so no one else is to blame. Lin He doesn't know whether the Chen family will take the opportunity to demand compensation, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

After greeting Senior Sister Chen, Lin He was about to leave when she called him back.

"Wait a minute! Junior Brother Lin, which room do you live in?"

"Huh?" Lin He turned around in surprise. Sure enough, Chen Qiaoqian's face was flushed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything else. What I meant was that if our Chen family can settle this matter, I will inform you. But I need to know where you live, right?"

Lin He smiled slightly, told the other party where he lived, and then quickly left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Lin He leave, Chen Qiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, she vented her anger with a string of curses before finally returning to the Chen family home.

……

……

Back in Yellow Maple Valley, Lin He returned to his hut, his heart pounding with excitement. He had gained a great deal from this trip, and of course, he wanted to take stock of what he had accomplished.

First, I purchased a set of Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blades, a Xuan Iron Flying Shield, a Heavenly Thunder Seed, a talisman treasure—Golden Light Brick, and two level one mid-tier Ice and Fire Wolves at the Yellow Maple Valley Market.

Outside the cave, they obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, a top-grade magic weapon of exquisite quality, the Azure Dragon Flag, a superior magic weapon, the Azure Rope, and a superior magic weapon, the Silver White Hook, from Senior Brother Lu's storage bag.

In addition, there were dozens of low- to mid-level talismans and more than twenty low-grade spirit stones.

"What a pity about that beginner-level advanced talisman—Wind Wall Technique."

Lin He felt a little regretful about this, but he quickly came to terms with it. He had already gained so much; if he was still not satisfied, then he would be too greedy.

Of all these gains, the one that most excited Lin He was the Foundation Establishment Pill.

At this moment, Lin He's cultivation level is at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. If he takes this Foundation Establishment Pill, there is a very high probability that he can improve to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and then he can establish his foundation.

The thought was very strong, but after a while, Lin He forcibly suppressed it.

"Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage are not allowed to enter the forbidden area for trials. If someone accidentally establishes their foundation after taking a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be a real blunder."

Lin He had high hopes for the forbidden area trial and was naturally unwilling to give up.

"We can leave Senior Brother Lu's matter to the Chen family. We should wait until after the forbidden area trial to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. We still have more than a month to go, and I need to nurture these two Ice and Fire Wolves to the peak of Level 1."

After making his plans, Lin He had a good night's sleep. Perhaps due to exhaustion, he slept until the afternoon of the next day.

He had just woken up when he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a familiar female voice.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you there? I need to discuss something with you!"

Lin He recognized the voice immediately. He rubbed his nose and then opened the door.

At this moment, a beautiful young woman stood outside the door; who else could it be but Senior Sister Chen?
