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

Upon receiving news of the Earth Vein Spirit Chrysalis, Chen Yi was actually caught somewhat off guard.

He had only used the identification function to find out Zhao Dezhi's purpose, but now that he suddenly knew about the Earth Vein Spirit Chrysalis, he instantly realized that his consideration of some things was far too shallow.

He already knew that besides Zhao Dezhi, the Zhao family also had a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in secret. In this region, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was enough to earn the respect of the Purple Pill Sect.

Given the Zhao family's strength, it would be unreasonable for them to only covet the foundations of the Chen family and a few other families.

Even if the Zhao family takes over all four families, including the Chen family, it's nothing more than a dispensable thing to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhao family.

It wasn't until now, after learning about the Earth Vein Spirit Chrysalis, that Chen Yi finally came to his full understanding of these matters.

Thinking of all this, Chen Yi immediately understood that even with the protection of the Purple Pill Sect, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Zhao family would not take action against the Chen family. On the contrary, the Zhao family would definitely wait for an opportunity or actively create one, always ready to destroy the Chen family in one blow.

The rare and precious materials that can enable a Foundation Establishment cultivator to easily break through to the Golden Core stage in a short period of time are of immeasurable value, enough to make the Zhao family do anything.

The system's assessment results just now show that Liu Can was also involved in this matter. In short, the Chen family is blocking the path of three Foundation Establishment cultivators. The other party may not be in a hurry to deal with the Chen family, but once they do, it will be an absolute catastrophe for the Chen family.

In a short moment, countless thoughts arose in Chen Yi's mind. Then he couldn't help but look at Zhao Dezhi and smiled slightly. If Zhao Dezhi hadn't come, he wouldn't have known this news.

Noticing Chen Yi's sudden smile, Zhao Dezhi chuckled inwardly. Perhaps his personal visit, claiming to be to offer congratulations, led Chen Yi to believe that the Zhao family had come specifically to curry favor with the Chen family, which explained Chen Yi's cheerful smile.

He suddenly felt that Chen Yi was really naive. He had only said a few nice words, and Chen Yi had taken them seriously and become complacent.

Zhao Dezhi felt instantly disheartened at having to deal with such a piece of trash. Chen Yi's strength and temperament were simply too insignificant.

"Haha, it's surprising that Brother Zhao found out about my Chen family and the Purple Pill Sect so quickly. I am grateful that you came to congratulate me, and I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your successful breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage." Chen Yi finally spoke.

Zhao Dezhi had completely despised Chen Yi, but he hadn't come here for Chen Yi's sake.

Therefore, despite his impatience, he maintained a proper demeanor and said with a smile, "A mere Foundation Establishment is nothing compared to the alliance between the Chen family and the Purple Pill Sect. From now on, the Chen family will be considered one of the top families in this region."

At this point, Zhao Dezhi's heart stirred, and a jade box appeared in his palm. When the jade box was opened, inside was a plant that was only one finger long, with three leaves of different colors and a small purplish-red flower blooming at the top.

"This is a Qi-Nourishing Grass, which is a hundred years old. For Qi Refining stage cultivators, it can increase their cultivation speed by at least 50%. Therefore, it is not considered a treasure for cultivators of other realms, but for Qi Refining stage cultivators, it is an invaluable treasure. This item can be considered as a congratulatory gift from the Zhao family to the Chen family head."

Nourishing Qi Grass is not common, and Qi Nourishing Grass that is over a hundred years old is even rarer. Its preciousness is truly extraordinary for Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Zhao Dezhi did not bring out such a treasure beforehand; it was a last-minute decision.

Upon realizing Chen Yi's immature nature, he immediately devised a plan.

For someone like Chen Yi, all he needs to do is show some goodwill and say some nice things, and he will surely gain Chen Yi's trust in a short period of time.

Since we have already decided not to take action against the Chen family for the time being, we might as well spend some time investigating where the pill formula that the Chen family gave to the Purple Pill Sect came from.

He didn't know what Liu Can and his master thought about this matter, but he himself took it very seriously.

Earth Vein Spirit Pupae are naturally precious, but the path of a cultivator is too long, and Earth Vein Spirit Pupae are only a temporary advantage. If one could obtain another great opportunity from the Chen family, that would be excellent.

The Chen family handed over a pill formula that was so important to the sect leader of the Purple Pill Sect so readily. Does the Chen family have other pill formulas in their possession?

Or perhaps the Chen family encountered some incredible opportunity, such as discovering the cave dwelling left behind by a powerful alchemist, and thus obtaining the alchemy formula?

In short, he would not let go of any opportunity to gain an advantage. A cultivator's life is inherently about defying the heavens, and sometimes, obtaining an opportunity might allow him to soar to great heights.

Why did the sect leader of the Purple Pill Sect betroth one of his granddaughters to Chen Yi? Wasn't it for the same reason?

Chen Yi's eyes widened, and he looked like he was breathing rapidly. He said, "Brother Zhao, how can I accept such a valuable gift?"

Despite saying this, Chen Yi, who already knew Zhao Dezhi's intentions, clearly saw that Zhao Dezhi's actions were ill-intentioned.

Do you think he's a three-year-old? Do you think that by giving him some benefits you can get him to open his heart and tell you the origin of the elixir formula?

However, to be fair, the benefits Zhao Dezhi offered were considerable, increasing his cultivation speed by 50%, which was extremely important to him.

"This item is useful to Patriarch Chen, so it would be most appropriate to give it to him. I hope Patriarch Chen will not find it offensive," Zhao Dezhi said hastily.

Chen Yi kept glancing at the jade box, looking both excited and embarrassed.

Zhao Dezhi sneered inwardly, picked up the jade box and shoved it into Chen Yi's hand, saying, "Patriarch Chen, please accept it quickly. If you don't, then you are looking down on me, Zhao."

Chen Yi's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "I am merely a Qi Refining cultivator, how dare I look down on Brother Zhao? Well... alright, Brother Zhao, you are too kind to refuse, then I will accept it."

After saying that, Chen Yi placed the jade box beside him, cupped his hands to Zhao Dezhi and said, "Brother Zhao is so kind, I cannot be too stingy. In two days, I will bring the granddaughter of the sect leader of the Zidan Sect to visit the Zhao family. I hope Brother Zhao will not find me a bother."

These words were not said out of politeness; Chen Yi truly intended it that way.

Although the system's identification results showed that the Earth Vein Spirit Pupae would solidify within a year and that the location was within the medicinal fields of Chen Ning and Zhang Sanjia, this time span and location were too general.

When they arrive at the Zhao family, as long as they are careful and induce Zhao Dezhi to talk more about wanting to monopolize the three families' businesses, he can take the opportunity to use the appraisal function. In this way, there is a great chance that he can obtain the exact condensation time of the spirit pupa and its more accurate location.

"If Patriarch Chen visits the Zhao family and I fail to entertain him in the slightest, then I, Zhao Dezhi, will be unworthy of being a son. Patriarch Chen, it's settled then." Zhao Dezhi said immediately, not giving Chen Yi a chance to back out.

Chen Yi immediately nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. I will visit the Zhao family in a couple of days."

After saying that, they both laughed, but quickly stopped laughing, each feeling that they were laughing too much like old foxes, and afraid that the other would become wary.
