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

Chen Yi didn't press Li Changqing about what the gift was. Since Li Changqing had said that he would find out in time, there was no need to ask any further.

Back in his room in the courtyard, Chen Yi fell into deep thought. Li Changqing's change had surprised him, but thinking of a sentence on the system panel just now, he suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

However, she also had moments of confusion, helplessness, and extreme vulnerability. In this vast world, she sometimes felt there was no path left for her to take, but she never considered giving up.

These words made him realize that no matter how powerful Li Changqing was, he was still just a person, and as a person, he would experience loss, depression, helplessness, and times when he couldn't see the road ahead.

This woman was not as strong or calm as she appeared on the surface.

No one could help her; she had chosen a path with no hope and little hope of reaching its end.

For her, life in the Chen family was a rare period of peace and stability.

Thinking about this, Chen Yi roughly understood why Li Changqing had prepared a gift for him.

Perhaps she felt that he, as the head of the family, had given her complete trust, or perhaps she felt that he was worthy of trust.

Of course, Chen Yi had another guess in his mind: perhaps Li Changqing was also a little tempted by him.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yi smiled. Although the possibility was extremely small, as long as he flirted with her frequently, the 300-year-old woman would no longer be able to be a little bird clinging to a man, nor would she be able to be a good wife and mother.

If there are cultivators in the world who can ascend to heaven, then it means that anything is possible.

…………

Three days later, the cultivators of the Zidan Sect were scattered throughout a three-thousand-mile area. In order to find Li Changle's whereabouts, the Zidan Sect had exhausted all its efforts.

However, after a thorough search, including using the Soul-Illuminating Treasure, they found nothing.

"Sect Master, that Li Chang Le is very likely not within our sphere of influence. What a pity."

The third level of the stone pagoda in the Purple Pill Sect.

Liang Shanlong, the head of the Zongwu Hall, bowed and reported to Ye Nan'an.

Ye Nan'an remained calm. All the sects he knew were investigating this matter. It would be abnormal if the Zi Dan Sect found the female cultivator's whereabouts so easily.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Nan'an instructed, "If we can't find her, then we'll continue searching. As long as the other sects haven't found the female cultivator's whereabouts either, we still have a chance."

Liang Shanlong readily agreed, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "What exactly is Li Changle's identity? And which force is tracking her? It's simply unbelievable that so many sects would be mobilized for her."

He was the head of the Purple Pill Sect and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he had never seen such a massive spectacle in his life.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nan'an was also filled with admiration. Liang Shanlong had never seen such a spectacle before, nor had he.

Seeing the look of surprise on Liang Shanlong's face, Ye Nan'an explained: "According to what I learned from the upper sect, this matter involves two unspeakably powerful sects in the world, which are beyond our ability to inquire about."

"Just think about it, as long as you can provide information about Li Changle, you can obtain a massive amount of cultivation resources. This proves that the female cultivator's power is probably enough to rival the heavens."

"We don't need to care which faction is investigating. We'll just investigate with all our might. If we find out, we can all rise to the top in one fell swoop."

Liang Shanlong nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. Don't worry, Sect Master, I will not slack off in the slightest and will continue to investigate with all my might."

Ye Nan'an nodded, his eyes flashing, and asked about something else: "How is the Chen family doing now?"

Liang Shanlong naturally understood the meaning behind the sect leader's question and quickly replied, "Chen Yi's cultivation is progressing quite quickly. He is already at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, and it is estimated that he will have a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in about half a year."

"As for the rest, there's nothing of note. Also, the people I sent didn't get any clues about the origin of the pill formula."

After speaking, Liang Shanlong was already a little nervous. Before investigating Li Changle's matter, the sect leader had paid the most attention to and valued the Chen family.

After so much time, he still hadn't been able to find any useful information, and he was really afraid that the sect leader would get angry because of it.

Ye Nan'an's expression darkened slightly, but he had no intention of getting angry at Liang Shanlong. The people Liang Shanlong had planted in the Chen family had not found anything, and Ye Chen, whom he had sent to Chen Yi's side, had also found nothing.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Nan'an's heart suddenly stirred, and his expression became serious. Inside the stone tower, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "The situation of the Chen family is a bit strange. They suddenly produced two unimaginable pill formulas. I previously guessed that the Chen family might have obtained a cave left behind by a certain alchemist."

"Now it's dawned on me that there's another possibility why the Chen family could produce such a formula."

Liang Shanlong looked puzzled and asked, "Sect Master, what do you mean?"

Ye Nan'an lowered his voice even further and said, "If the Chen family encounters a female cultivator with an extremely terrifying background, and even happens to become friends with that female cultivator by chance, they will naturally have a chance to obtain the pill formula."

Liang Shanlong's expression changed drastically as he realized what was happening. He whispered, "Sect Master, are you referring to Li Changle?"

Ye Nan'an nodded: "Yes, although it's just a guess and the chance of guessing correctly is extremely small, it is still possible. From now on, you will increase the number of people keeping an eye on the Chen family. I need to know the every move of everyone in the Chen family."

"In addition, I will also send a message to Ye Chen to pay attention to this matter. Ye Chen is the key. She is in contact with Chen Yi, so she has a greater chance of discovering the abnormality of Chen Yi, the head of the Chen family."

Liang Shanlong accepted the order and then laughed, "Sect Master, if you really guessed correctly, then our Zidan Sect will be ten times stronger thanks to you."

If they truly found that female cultivator from the Chen family, the cultivation resources they obtained would greatly enhance the entire Purple Pill Sect.

Ye Nan'an chuckled a few times and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a guess. Besides, the chances of a female cultivator who can be investigated by countless sects being connected with a small family like the Chen family are too small. There's no need to have too high expectations, but it's necessary to find out the truth."

Liang Shanlong repeatedly agreed. Since the sect leader had given the order, he would naturally investigate. As for whether he could actually find anything, he didn't really have much hope.

"Sect Master, there is something else I need to report. You will be going into seclusion in three months. The Vice Sect Master may reveal this to the Zhao family. At that time, the Zhao family may take the risk of attacking the Chen family," Liang Shanlong suddenly said.

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then said, "The Zhao family seems to attach great importance to the area where Chen Ning and Zhang San's families live, and they have been eyeing the Chen family covetously for some time now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Nan'an's expression turned cold. He said, "Then take my warrant to the Zhao family and tell them that I still have a use for the Chen family. If they want to destroy the Chen family, they can only do so after I give my approval."
