A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

Chen Yi was in a dilemma. Most things were going according to his plan, but Ye Nan'an's arrangement was unexpected.

Before coming to the Purple Pill Sect, he had analyzed with Li Changqing that the Purple Pill Sect would definitely try every means to find out the origin of such a precious pill formula.

On a grander scale, such a pill formula could elevate the Purple Pill Sect to a higher position. Therefore, the Purple Pill Sect would inevitably investigate whether the Chen family had left any other backup plans besides giving the pill formula to the Purple Pill Sect.

In short, the fact that the Purple Pill Sect would target the Chen family was something he and Li Changqing had long anticipated.

But now, Ye Nan'an has proposed to marry his granddaughter to him. Of course, it's a lie to say that he wanted to fulfill his wish of posting a notice to find a wife. In reality, he just wants his granddaughter to keep an eye on him and the Chen family, and to take the opportunity to investigate the matter of the pill formula.

What put Chen Yi in a difficult position was that he couldn't refuse. Ye Nan'an had just said that with his granddaughter around, the Zhao family would never dare to mess with the Chen family again.

These words effectively blocked all his options for refusal. With Ye Nan'an's granddaughter in charge, it was indeed a huge benefit to the Chen family, and it would be extremely unreasonable for him to refuse.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh. Facing a sect leader like Ye Nan'an, even being careful was difficult, but the other party's few words were a clear and open scheme.

With many thoughts running through his mind, Chen Yi quickly felt relieved. Ye Nan'an was indeed a cunning old fox, and his move to bring his granddaughter into the Chen family was indeed ruthless. Since that was the case, he might as well agree.

After taking his granddaughter back, he handed her over to Li Changqing, who easily subdued her. Even Ye Nan'an seemed a bit naive in front of Li Changqing, let alone his granddaughter.

Without further hesitation, Chen Yi raised his hand in a salute and said, "Chen Yi thanks Sect Leader Ye for protecting the Chen family. However, regarding the matter of posting the notice to find a wife, a female cultivator whom I am quite satisfied with has already entered the Chen family a few days ago..."

At this point, Chen Yi stopped, a troubled look on his face.

Ye Nan'an chuckled twice and said, "This is just a small matter. Even ordinary people have the blessing of having three wives and four concubines, so it is only natural for cultivators to have more Daoist partners."

"How about this, you take my granddaughter back to the Chen family and spend some time with her. If you feel it's a good match, then it won't be too late for them to become Daoist partners."

Chen Yi feigned surprise on his face, but inwardly he marveled at how open-minded this man surnamed Ye was, even advocating for having multiple Daoist partners.

Now that things have come to this point, it would be very unusual for Chen Yi to make any more excuses or reasons.

He looked happy and excited, and said, "Chen Yi, I will follow Sect Leader Ye's arrangements."

Ye Xian'an also looked satisfied and said with a smile, "In that case, you can go with Hall Master Liang. Hall Master Liang will prepare everything you just asked for. Also, I will send my little granddaughter to find you. When you arrive at the Chen family, I will trouble you, young friend Chen, to take care of my little granddaughter."

Chen Yi quickly agreed: "Sect Leader Ye, please rest assured, Miss Ye will not be mistreated once she arrives at the Chen family."

…………

When Chen Yi left the Purple Pill Sect, the sun had already set in the west. After a whole day, he had finally achieved a relatively good result.

Previously, after discussing with Li Changqing, the Chen family's bottom line was that the Zidan Sect must promise to protect the Chen family for at least one year, and this goal was successfully achieved.

In addition, regarding the pills, there must be no less than one hundred bottles of Spirit Condensation Pills. When he spoke, he directly ordered thirty bottles of Foundation Condensation Pills, plus two hundred bottles of Spirit Condensation Pills. Ye Nan'an did not haggle over this, which was beyond his expectations.

Besides these two items, the Purple Pill Sect also gave him a manual of spells, which he now possesses.

[Rainmaking Technique]

This was the cultivation manual of the spells given by the Purple Pill Sect. Chen Yi took a look and found that it was a spell that could summon clouds and rain. However, this spell was somewhat useless, as the range it covered was only three zhang.

That is, about ten meters.

Furthermore, this technique is not a method for killing or fighting enemies, and Chen Yi felt that it was actually not very effective.

However, even the worst spell is still a spell. It was only proposed to make up the numbers, so it didn't matter if the Purple Pill Sect didn't give it. Now that they have given it, it's a gain at least.

Moreover, even disregarding all of the above, the fact that this trip revealed the true strength of the Zhao family is of paramount importance.

Both he and Li Changqing thought that the Zhao family's biggest threat was that Zhao family cultivator who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. But now, he knew that there was a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator behind this Zhao family cultivator.

A cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage cannot be compared to a cultivator who has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Based on what he knows now, Li Changqing will probably recover to around the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage in about a year. Dealing with that Zhao family cultivator might not be too difficult for him. After all, with Li Changqing's foundation, killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Qi Refining shouldn't be too difficult for him.

However, Chen Yi felt it was unrealistic to think that Li Changqing could kill someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage with Qi Refining. No matter how powerful Li Changqing was, he couldn't bridge such a large gap.

"The chess piece is unaware of its place on the board..." Chen Yi muttered to himself.

Even someone like Li Changqing couldn't predict everything; he couldn't foresee the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Zhao family.

For example, Ye Nan'an of the Zidan Sect obtained the pill formula and sent his granddaughter into the Chen family, thinking he had benefited the most. Little did he know that the entire Zidan Sect was already one of the pawns in Li Changqing's scheme.

Even the Zhao family couldn't have foreseen that the Chen family would receive the protection of the Purple Pill Sect. In a short period of time, it would be impossible for the Zhao family to occupy the entire 300-mile area of ​​the five families.

Thinking about this, Chen Yi felt even more that he needed to be more careful in the future. Sometimes, one is so unaware that they have already become someone else's prey that it is extremely dangerous.

Li Changqing has his eye on the Zidan Sect. Will anyone in the Zidan Sect be able to find out?

Impossible. The Purple Pill Sect would never think that a mere female cultivator from the Chen family would dare to make a move on them.

Similarly, perhaps in some corner, someone is secretly watching him, plotting against him.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi subconsciously turned around and looked at the stunning woman riding a spirited steed, silently following him.

Ye Nan'an wasn't lying. Putting aside his granddaughter's talent, at least her looks were top-notch.

Noticing Chen Yi's gaze, the woman lowered her head somewhat timidly, looking rather charming.

Chen Yi sighed. He wasn't sure if someone was watching him from some corner, but on the surface, the delicate-looking woman behind him would definitely be watching him for some time to come.

She has a delicate and fragile appearance, and it's hard to tell if it's an act. She seems to cry for half a day if you punch her.

Chen Yi withdrew his gaze and his thoughts, pondering how he should first explain to himself that he had only come to the Purple Pill Sect and was about to become the young master of the Purple Pill Sect.
