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

"Contribution points. To become stronger, you need a lot of contribution points, or you need financial freedom and a lot of spirit stones." Chen Huai'an looked into the distance.

The only way to get contribution points is through the Qingyun Sect.

As for spirit stones, they are simple in some ways and complex in others.

He could obtain these spirit stones through the space within his purple gourd.

However, it takes time for this purple gourd to purify spirit stones and advance them; you can't just put as many into it at once and expect them all to evolve into high-grade ones.

There are also quantity and time limits; he only discovered this in the last few days.

The most spirit stones he could evolve at once was fifty, even after acquiring a batch of low-grade spirit stones at the Spirit Peak Trade Fair these past few days. He put all these spirit stones into his space, but in the end, only fifty low-grade spirit stones transformed into high-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, he should make good use of this. He should make use of the limit of fifty low-grade spirit stones per day.

Time is limited; there are only fifty pills a day, which seems like a lot, but in reality, it is limited.

Furthermore, he didn't know if this purple gourd space was truly omnipotent. What if one day, the spirit stones placed inside failed to evolve into high-grade spirit stones?

There's a saying that goes, "Sometimes, you have to think about nothing."

Fifty a day, five hundred in ten days, five thousand in a hundred days. This seems like a lot, but Chen Huai'an simply couldn't get that many low-grade spirit stones.

Furthermore, the higher one's cultivation level, the more spirit stones are required.

Especially when one's cultivation reaches the Qi Refining Realm, a large amount of spirit stones and pills are needed to assist in cultivation.

Spirit stones are even more precious than elixirs, so he must find a way to acquire and store more spirit stones.

The menial disciples of the Qingyun Sect were all dirt poor; they didn't have many spirit stones on them. Spirit stones were currency used to buy and sell goods.

However, once they reach the Qi Refining Realm and become outer disciples, these spirit stones become an important tool for their cultivation. Many people will not trade spirit stones; instead, they will use them to buy cultivation resources. Their first consideration is to exchange sect contribution points for spirit herbs.

"These next few days, I must seize the opportunity to acquire more low-grade spirit stones," Chen Huai'an said calmly, gazing into the distance.

"If only I could easily disguise myself, I wouldn't have to be so careful and secretive when I'm at the trade fair."

Chen Huai'an wanted to convert all his resources into spirit stones, which would give him more opportunities to show his face at the Miscellaneous Peak Trade Fair. If he were targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a very troublesome matter.

He already possessed the Breath Refining Technique for concealing his cultivation level, but he needed to find a way to obtain a method that could change his appearance.

This is a necessity for Chen Huai'an right now; the sooner he gets it, the safer he will be.

There are no techniques that can change one's aura or appearance, but Chen Huai'an has been trying to disguise himself in simple ways these past few days. Since one's cultivation level can be concealed, one can transform into several different people if one wants others to see what level one is at.

However, he kept wearing the same two sets of clothes. He realized that the vendors didn't recognize him, but he recognized them. These people weren't stupid, and if they were to target him, it would be a very troublesome situation.

Chen Huai'an has a lot of resources at his disposal. If he were to convert them all into cash, he would be the richest among the outer sect's menial disciples, and even within the outer sect, he would be among the wealthiest people.

However, he knew one thing: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

What does it mean to be unworthy of one's position? It means that if you don't have enough strength, flaunting your wealth will only lead to a more miserable end.

So these days, Chen Huai'an has been behaving himself. He doesn't go to the trade fair, but stays at his residence and cultivates diligently.

What Chen Huai'an didn't know was that it was precisely because of his caution that he had once again escaped a crisis.

He has been frequently attending trade fairs these past few days, resulting in a large influx of high-grade body-refining pills into the market, and some people have already set their sights on him.

It is said that among the outer sect's menial disciples, some possess a large number of body-refining pills, and these pills are even of superior quality.

Many people are inquiring about who is selling a large quantity of Body Refining Pills, as many want to obtain a few high-grade Body Refining Pills to break through their bottlenecks.

"A top-grade Body Refining Pill! Such a good thing was leaked at the Lingquan Peak trade fair. I must find a way to get more. With this top-grade Body Refining Pill, breaking through to the peak of the ninth level of the late Body Refining Realm will not be a problem. At that time, let alone the top fifty of the Spirit Ranking, even the top twenty will be very hopeful." After hearing his subordinate's report, Zhang Biao immediately set off for Lingquan Peak.

Not only Zhang Biao from the Zhang family, but also Zhao Junhao from the Zhao family, as well as the talented disciples from the Miscellaneous Peak, all came to the Lingquan Peak Trade Fair one after another.

For a time, the trade fair at Lingquan Peak became a prominent place among the many miscellaneous peaks.

Chen Huai'an only found out the next day.

When he heard the news, he was somewhat relieved that he hadn't tried to trade any high-grade body-refining pills, otherwise, trouble would have come knocking.

"This Chen Huai'an works as a handyman disciple in the canteen of Lingquan Peak. Today, I'll show you who offended the Zhang family and is still alive and well." Zhang Biao came to the Lingquan Peak trade fair. Although he had some gains, he did not get the rumored high-grade body-refining pill. He did not go back immediately but went to the backyard of the canteen.

Today, he wanted to see just who this seemingly indestructible Chen Huai'an really was.

How did the Zhang family's talented young talents get involved with Chen Huai'an?

"Chen Huai'an, hide quickly! Zhang Biao from the Zhang family is here!" Li Fugui rushed to Chen Huai'an's residence in a panic.

Chen Huai'an frowned. For the past two weeks, he had been behaving himself, staying home and working a regular routine, without causing any trouble. Why was Zhang Biao suddenly coming to the back of the cafeteria to cause him trouble?

As Li Fugui spoke, he nervously looked around, not knowing why he was so nervous.

"Brother Chen, I really don't know anything. I don't know why Zhang Biao suddenly came. I just caught a glimpse of him from afar and came to inform you."

Looking at Li Fugui, who seemed to be seeking credit, he didn't know what to say. This matter was both within his expectations and beyond his expectations.

The challenge will officially begin in seven days.

He was bound to run into the Zhang and Zhao families sooner or later, but now, the Zhang family had arrived before the challenge even started, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with them yet.

If it really is Zhang Biao who attacks him, what should he do? Should he run away now, or see what tricks the other party is up to?

The current Chen Huai'an is no longer an ant that these outer disciples can easily manipulate. He has already developed a certain ability to protect himself, and he can even fight against a master at the ninth level of the late stage of Body Refinement.

The terrifying scenario he had imagined didn't happen. Now, Chen Huai'an was eerily quiet because he now had the confidence to deal with the risks.

If it were Zhang Biao, and he didn't know what was good for him, I would have dealt with him the same way I dealt with Zhang Long, and sent him straight to his death.

The conflict between Chen Huai'an and the Zhang family is irreconcilable and there is no room for reconciliation unless one side is destroyed.

As for Chen Huai'an, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; in that case, only the Zhang family would perish.

"Alright, Lao Li, I understand. I'm leaving now. If I can't beat them, can't I at least run away?" Chen Huai'an said to Li Fugui with a smile. He had no masochistic tendencies.

"When you see Zhang Biao, tell him I ran away."

After Chen Huai'an finished speaking, he disappeared from Li Fugui's sight.

Li Fugui was completely bewildered when he saw Chen Huai'an leave. This Chen Huai'an was truly a good-for-nothing, only good at bullying him, an honest man. When he encountered Zhang Biao, he didn't even dare to meet him before running away.
