You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"You can't kill us, we're from the Yin Sha Sect." Sensing the killing intent emanating from Chen Huai'an, the lewd man immediately revealed his trump card.

The members of the Yin Sha Sect are all demonic cultivators, and they are vindictive and vengeful. Many people are unwilling to offend demonic cultivators.

"Yin Sha Sect? You're demonic cultivators?" Chen Huai'an frowned.

"This is Qingyun Sect's territory. No matter how strong the Yinsha Sect is, they wouldn't dare to run wild on Qingyun Sect's territory."

"Of course we know this is Qingyun Sect's territory, but Yinsha Sect is much stronger than Qingyun Sect. Qingyun Sect wouldn't dare offend Yinsha Sect at all," the lewd man said hastily, thinking he had intimidated Chen Huai'an.

"Is the Yin Sha Sect really that strong?" Chen Huai'an frowned.

"The Yin Sha Sect is very powerful, belonging to the middle three sects, while the Qing Yun Sect is only one of the lower three sects. If you offend the Yin Sha Sect, you won't even know when you'll be wiped out." The lewd man became more and more smug as he spoke.

Chen Huai'an originally wanted to get some useful information out of him, but this guy just kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again.

In his mind, this guy should be just like him, a low-level disciple of the Yin Sha Sect. How could he possibly have access to the core of the sect?

Then there's the Yin Sha Sect, which sounds like a demonic sect. It can't compare to the Qingyun Sect. Besides, this is Qingyun Sect territory, so naturally they wouldn't be afraid of the other side. If anyone should be afraid, it should be the Yin Sha Sect members who are afraid of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

What Chen Huai'an didn't know was that this guy wasn't a disciple of the Yin Sha Sect at all; he was just an outer disciple, not even a menial disciple.

"Die." Chen Huai'an was too lazy to waste words with them. Since these people wanted to kill him, he was acting in self-defense.

Upon entering the cultivation world, he understood that this world was a dog-eat-dog world, and one could not be soft-hearted towards anyone. Once one was soft-hearted and merciful, one would only suffer in the end. One should be ruthless towards enemies.

"run!"

Seeing Chen Huai'an unleash a killing spree, the sleazy man shouted and immediately turned to flee, bracing himself against the powerful pressure emanating from Chen Huai'an.

"Pfft!" Chen Huai'an's magical power surged, and then, a soil spike condensed from his palm and shot into the lewd man's back. With a "pfft," the man spat out blood and his pupils widened. He was killed instantly with one blow.

The other three, witnessing the lewd man instantly killed by Chen Huai'an, were terrified. They bit their tongues, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and tried to flee the scene as quickly as possible.

Chen Huai'an had not expected his earth spike attack to be so powerful; a single earth spike had easily killed a late-stage Body Refinement Realm cultivator at the ninth level.

In his eyes, these cultivators at the Body Refinement Realm were truly like clay chickens and earthen dogs; he could easily kill them.

Three earth spikes shot out, instantly killing the three cultivators at the Body Refinement stage.

After killing the four men, Chen Huai'an emptied their storage bags.

Chen Huai'an had not learned the Fireball Technique, but he had practiced the Flame Blade Technique. So he condensed the fire spiritual power in his body, and then a ball of fire radiating scorching light appeared in his palm. He slapped it on one of the people, and instantly, the person was engulfed in flames. Under Chen Huai'an's watchful eyes, the corpse was burned to ashes in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

In the past, when Chen Huai'an killed someone to cover up their crime, his first thought was to send the body into his spatial dimension, dig a hole, bury the body, and destroy the evidence. But now it's different. Now that Chen Huai'an has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, he can use the Fireball Technique to burn the bodies to ashes and destroy the evidence.

Not just anyone is qualified to enter his space.

After experiencing several incidents, Chen Huai'an knew that the secret of the purple gourd's space could not be exposed.

The value of this thing is simply immeasurable. With this thing, it's like having a treasure trove. As long as he works hard in the space, he will have a continuous supply of cultivation resources to make him stronger. Therefore, the secret of the purple gourd space must not be exposed.

Chen Huai'an was worried about unforeseen circumstances when he put the corpses of some cultivators into his space, because once one reaches the Qi Refining Realm, one will have divine sense, and divine sense is a mysterious and unpredictable thing.

After burning the four corpses, Chen Huai'an did not return to Qingyunmen Market, but instead entered the Qingyun Mountains for training.

The incident with the Yin Sha Sect served as a wake-up call for Chen Huai'an, who worried that something might happen to the Qingyun Sect.

He wasn't very clear about some information in the cultivation world, but he knew that the Yin Sha Sect was definitely a demonic force that everyone hated.

There was news of a disciple of the Demonic Sect in Qingyun Market, and Chen Huai'an wanted to report this news to the sect. However, he was just a menial disciple, and even if he reported it to the sect, he estimated that no one would believe him.

Instead of doing all this useless work, we might as well finish the sect mission sooner.

Previously, Chen Huai'an had wanted to complete the task of hunting demonic beasts, which could be done by purchasing them with spirit stones. However, he knew that he couldn't do such a thing. The reason why the sect did this was to forge their fighting spirit so that they would have the strength to fight when faced with a crisis.

Since ancient times, the righteous and the evil have been irreconcilable enemies. When people from the Yin Sha Sect appeared in Qingyun Market, Chen Huai'an was worried that they might be planning to attack Qingyun Sect.

Regardless of whether this is his conjecture or true, he should seize the time to improve his combat capabilities.

Creating wealth is one thing; being able to preserve wealth is another.

Whether it's selling spirit grains or spirit herbs, you'll attract the attention of some unscrupulous people. Without strong power, you simply can't protect these good things.

Especially powerful demonic cultivators, they don't need a reason to harm someone. If they don't like you, they can kill you, or perhaps they want to cultivate evil techniques. Whatever the reason, Chen Huai'an didn't want to die a meaningless death.

To protect oneself, one must have great strength.

"These four guys are really penniless. They have four storage bags with only 16 low-grade spirit stones and a few jade slips inside. They have no cultivation resources at all." Chen Huai'an thought that these four guys wanted to buy that woman as a cultivation vessel, so they should have a lot of spirit stones on them. He didn't expect that these four guys were just penniless and didn't even have as much money as him.

However, even a small amount is still something. Putting more than 10 low-grade spirit stones into the purple gourd's space will soon turn into 16 high-grade spirit stones.

Chen Huai'an suppressed his disappointment and began to examine the jade slips he had seized, wondering what kind of cultivation techniques were recorded within them. "Hmm, these are basic Five Elements spells."

The Five Elements Basic Spells—hearing that it was related to the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique he was cultivating was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was about to fall asleep. Instantly, Chen Huai'an's mind was drawn to these Five Elements Basic Spells.

The Five Elements Basic Spells course teaches basic spells related to the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"Haha, this time I've really struck gold! The value of these Five Elements Basic Spells far exceeds all the spirit stones in my storage bag." Chen Huai'an only glanced at the Five Elements Basic Spells, but he already knew he had truly struck gold.

As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded, and that's absolutely true.

If Chen Huai'an hadn't helped the brother and sister, he wouldn't have been targeted by the Yin Sha Sect, and he wouldn't have had the chance to obtain the Five Elements Basic Spells.

The Five Elements Basic Spells are essentially minor spells related to the Five Elements, but they combine attack, defense, and healing into one.
