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

"call out!"

Just as Chen Huai'an had this thought, he felt extremely weak. He saw a pale white halo emerge from the mouth of the purple gourd in his hand. The halo expanded rapidly and enveloped Wang Tong's corpse in an instant before disappearing from his sight.

If it weren't for the bloodstains left from their battle on the ground, he would have wondered if he was dreaming, that the gourd had actually collected Wang Tong's body.

However, this was not the end. The body was gone, but the traces of the battle had not been erased, especially his blood, which he feared would be discovered.

So, dragging his weary body, he gathered the blood-stained dirt together, and then, once again, used his mind to store it in the purple gourd space.

Chen Huai'an disposed of the body to cover up the crime, but he was also worried that Wang Tong's corpse entering his gourd space might pollute the water source within it.

Chen Huai'an didn't care that he was in the wild and might be discovered. He found a relatively safe place and then, with a thought, entered the space.

Chen Huai'an dared to think of fighting back not because of a surge of passion, but because after some exploration, he was able to freely enter the purple gourd space.

Entering the space consumes his willpower, that is, his mental energy.

If he can't beat him, does that mean he can't run away?

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, the body didn't contaminate the water source when it entered the space." Chen Huai'an entered the space and didn't see Wang Tong's body soaking in his spiritual spring water. Instead, it was lying on an open ground in the space, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to drink this water in the future.

Only now did Chen Huai'an feel truly safe, no longer worried about being targeted by Zhang Hu's men.

The battle was finally over. He drank some spiritual spring water and meditated to recover his strength.

It took Chen Huai'an a while to wake up from his meditation.

Chen Huai'an examined his body and found that apart from a wound on his palm, there were no other obvious external injuries. Most of his injuries were internal.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, his injuries were almost completely healed.

This spiritual spring water not only aids in cultivation but also has a miraculous healing effect, which is truly an unexpected delight.

After a flurry of activity, Chen Huai'an remembered that Wang Tong's body was still in the space, waiting for him to deal with it.

He still had some expectations about Wang Tong's corpse, wondering what good things the guy had on him.

Chen Huai'an searched Wang Tong's corpse and found a gleaming dagger and a small cloth bag kept close to his body.

When Chen Huai'an saw the dagger, he felt a chill run down his spine.

It was Wang Tong's overconfidence; if he had held the dagger in his hand from the beginning, it wouldn't have been Wang Tong who died, but him.

Chen Huai'an opened the cloth bag layer by layer, and to his surprise, there was a Body Refining Pill, three shiny little stones, and several silver notes inside, which he estimated to be more than a hundred taels.

That stone was the spirit stone the immortal master had mentioned; it was the first time he had ever seen one.

Pills and spirit stones are exactly what Chen Huai'an needs most right now. As for silver notes, he feels he doesn't need them, but he plans to save them for his mother.

These hundred-plus taels of silver notes were enough for their family to live a comfortable life.

Murder and arson bring wealth; a horse won't get fat without night grass. If you want to get rich quickly, murder and robbery are indeed the fastest ways to make money.

Three low-grade spirit stones can be used to buy body-refining pills, and a dagger can be used for self-defense. If he had this dagger when fighting Wang Tong, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now. If he had ambushed Wang Tong, he could have guaranteed a fatal blow.

Wang Tong's body cannot be burned. Although he has a fire tumbler, he has no firewood. The only thing he can do is dig a hole in the space to bury him and plant the one-year-old Solomon's seal at the same time.

Wang Tong's body was used as fertilizer for medicinal herbs.

"Once this is over, we should try to get a hoe." It's too inconvenient to bury Wang Tong with a dagger; a hoe is much more convenient.

After disposing of Wang Tong's body, he poured some spiritual spring water on the Solomon's seal plant, took a big gulp himself, and then dragged his tired body out of the space.

As for the spoils seized from Wang Tong, Chen Huai'an did not carry them with him, but left them in his spatial storage.

Similarly, Chen Huai'an also had some concerns. Ordinary river water would evolve into spiritual spring water when it entered the space, and pills could evolve into high-grade pills. Although he had buried Wang Tong's corpse, he was also worried that the corpse might undergo other mutations.

However, now is not the time for him to worry about these things. Without a way to destroy the evidence and avoid being exposed, the best way is to put it in his spatial dimension. If he comes up with a way later, he can find another way to dispose of it.

Chen Huai'an returned to his residence in the evening. Unbeknownst to him, he had spent the entire day lingering outside.

"I hope I don't attract the attention of some petty people." Chen Huai'an prayed silently that Zhang Hu would not cause him any trouble for the time being, allowing him to properly digest these spoils and improve his strength before coming to cause trouble.

Facing Zhang Hu, Chen Huai'an no longer felt the fear he had before; in fact, he even felt a hint of anticipation.

"No, I can't afford to be complacent. Zhang Hu is someone I can't defeat right now, and I can't let my guard down." Chen Huai'an shook his head, suppressing this negative feeling.

Wang Tong's death was due to the opponent not using their full strength, but rather to his opponent's carelessness; it was not because Wang Tong was truly stronger than his opponent.

What I need to do now is to remain invisible, try to stay out of sight, and not be noticed or remembered by anyone.

As for Zhang Hu, if he encounters him now, he'll run as far away as possible.

That night, Chen Huai'an didn't rest at all, gulping down large mouthfuls of spiritual spring water to aid his cultivation.

The human body has twelve regular meridians, eight extraordinary meridians, fifteen collateral meridians, and three hundred and sixty-five fine collaterals.

At this moment, Chen Huai'an has already opened three main meridians, five secondary meridians, and dozens of minor meridians. Once he opens all thirty-five main meridians, extraordinary meridians, and secondary meridians, he will officially enter the first level of the Body Refinement Realm.

After a night of cultivation, he opened up another extraordinary meridian, further enhancing his strength. In addition, all the injuries he sustained in his battle with Wang Tong were completely healed.

Without the spiritual spring water in the spirit gourd space, he would be lucky to even save his life, let alone make any progress in his cultivation.

"Wang Tong is dead. Zhang Hu should have received the news by now, right? Next, I should go invisible and lie low for a few days to improve my strength." Originally, Chen Huai'an wanted to eat in the cafeteria, but he thought that if he showed his face now, he would definitely be targeted by Zhang Hu's men, so he could only stay at his residence.

Fortunately, he has spiritual spring water to aid his cultivation, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for several days.

After closing the door, Chen Huai'an entered the space with a thought.

After a night of tempering, the low-grade body-refining pill has evolved into a high-grade pill within the purple gourd's space.

To Chen Huai'an's great delight, the three low-grade spirit stones he had placed in his spatial storage had actually grown larger, filled with surging spiritual energy. He guessed that these spirit stones must have surpassed low-grade, possibly even mid-grade or high-grade.

As for the dagger, just like before, he couldn't figure it out either.

"Huh, this Solomon's Seal has grown so big overnight?" Chen Huai'an's eyes widened as he saw the Solomon's Seal plant in his space, which was lush and much larger than yesterday.

This growth rate is terrifying.

This space can actually accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs. In a few days, will they become the legendary elixirs?
