Chapter 219: Summer King City |
Actually, the reason why Chen An was in a hurry to leave was also because of those group of demonic cultivators.
In order to return to Daliang, he must master enough knowledge of array formations and become a skilled enough array master in order to set up a teleportation array to return to the world of Daliang.
There was no corresponding inheritance in Haoshan Sect, so it was inevitable that he would leave.
But if it weren't for those demonic cultivators, he wouldn't have left so soon.
After all, he was still young. Even if he stayed in Haoshan Sect for a while longer and saved up more resources before leaving, it wouldn't be too late.
But the situation didn't allow him to stay.
If the demonic cultivators barged in, they could easily take over Haoshan Sect.
If Chen An didn't leave at this time, he might not be able to leave later.
The reason is very simple.
Once the demonic cultivators took control of Haoshan Sect, could Chen An's situation still be as pleasant as before?
Don't count on it.
No matter what, Haoshan Sect was a sect of cultivators. Even if there were many problems, at least the people inside were somewhat normal.
In terms of the lower limit, the demonic cultivators were much lower than the people in Haoshan Sect.
If Chen An dared to continue staying in Haoshan Sect, with the methods of those demonic cultivators, the probability of being controlled was very high.
By the time he wanted to leave, it wouldn't be so easy.
Just like now, those group of demonic cultivators had probably already taken over Haoshan Sect.
And the first thing they did after taking over Haoshan Sect was to seal off the mountain, control all the disciples of Haoshan Sect, and not let anyone escape.
It was estimated that the brutal cleansing and oppression had already begun within Haoshan Sect.
The demonic cultivators often practiced with human blood, so when they started, they wouldn't go easy.
Chen An couldn't help but sigh, thinking of his friends in Haoshan Sect.
Most of his friends within Haoshan Sect were alchemists, who were professional talents who mastered core techniques and were unlikely to be troubled much.
But being controlled was inevitable.
He could only hope that they could hold on for a while longer.
When Chen An felt he could deal with those demonic cultivators, he didn't mind going back to Haoshan Sect to rescue those people.
And in the name of restoring order, he would take control of Haoshan Sect.
The title for Chen An had been decided.
A while back, Chen An deliberately spared Ning Wanli. It was actually for this reason.
Ning Wanli was the daughter of the Sect Master of Haoshan Sect, while Liu Roujun was an elder disciple. The two of them naturally had the righteous title of inheriting Haoshan Sect, and they could rally the many disciples of Haoshan Sect to the greatest extent.
In the future, when he had enough strength, with the names of these two, as long as he drove away those demonic cultivators, he could easily restore order and take control of Haoshan Sect.
But that was something for the future.
For now, it was better to forget about it.
The appearance of the artifact of the venerable that night still made Chen An a little shaken.
Until he found a way to counter that artifact of the venerable, Chen An had made up his mind not to touch that hard bone.
Various thoughts flashed through Chen An's mind.
Staying in this city, he continued to gather information, and after understanding the situation for a while, he left directly.
Three months later.
In the area of Chuanyu, in the Summer King City, invisible changes began to occur.
The Summer King City, this was a large city in Chuanyu.
Compared to the ordinary cities scattered throughout Chuanyu, Summer King City was a city where cultivators gathered, and traces of cultivators could be seen everywhere.
Here, cultivators were not unattainable myths, but a common presence seen everywhere.
In this area, even if they were just ordinary mortals, they mostly had close ties with cultivators, mostly descendants of cultivators who had been reproducing for many years.
Compared to other places, this city appeared to be much more prosperous, with developed trade and a rich variety of scenes.
A while ago, on a street in Summer King City, a shop quietly opened.
The name of the shop seemed very plain, called Chen's Pill Shop, and it was obvious that they sold pills.
This wasn't uncommon in Summer King City.
Although alchemists were rare, Summer King City was a well-known gathering place for cultivators in Chuanyu, attracting some alchemists.
Many alchemists were brewing pills and doing business here.
However, this pill shop was a bit out of the ordinary.
Compared to other places, although the types of pills sold in this shop were not many, they were of good quality and reasonably priced. Not only were the prices relatively affordable compared to other places, but the quality was also excellent, with each pill being at least top quality.
Even the common Small Element Pills in this shop were of top quality.
This was quite rare.
This affordable place naturally attracted a lot of attention in a short period of time.
But this kind of place also had its drawbacks.
The pills sold were still somewhat limited in quantity; although they were sold every day, they would soon be snatched up by people and sold out, making it impossible for those who came later to buy any.
But this was normal.
In other shops, there were usually several alchemists working together, each responsible for refining different pills to sell.
But in this pill shop, there was only one person, and even if the efficiency was high, the output was still limited.
Naturally, it couldn't meet everyone's needs.
However, this situation also relieved the competitors on the side.
The pills sold in this newly opened pill shop were cheaper than theirs, and the quality was stable. Each pill was of top quality.
If the quantity could be increased, their business would probably be affected.
But if the quantity was limited, it would not have much impact on their business.
Those who couldn't buy pills at Chen's Pill Shop would still come to them in the end.
Nevertheless, the commotion caused by the opening of Chen's Pill Shop in a short time still attracted a lot of attention.
People couldn't help but be curious about the owner of this shop, how could he refine such high-quality pills?
It was said that several local prestigious families were already prepared to contact this alchemist and wanted to recruit him into their clan.
While people outside were curious, what was the owner of Chen's shop doing?
He was studying.
Yes, studying.
"Today, stop here, friends, please leave."
In a spacious room, a spiritual aura permeated the air, depicting a series of array diagrams in mid-air, which looked quite profound.
Chen An was sitting at his position, writing diligently, even after the class had ended, he was still drawing array diagrams.
Only after a while, someone reminded him, and he came back to his senses.
"Brother Chen, we should go."
Hearing the voice by his side, Chen An raised his head somewhat dazedly, then reacted.
Standing in front of him was a young man.
The young man looked tall and straight, wearing a long robe. He looked quite extraordinary, and at this moment, he looked somewhat helpless as he looked at Chen An. "Master Song has already left, we should also go back."
"Is that so."
Chen An nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed at this moment. "I apologize, I was too engrossed and inadvertently neglected."
"No problem, it's just a minor matter."
The young man also smiled and said, not caring about it.
Both of them were students here.
This place was a private academy in Summer King City.
In Chuanyu, Summer King City was one of the largest gathering places for loose cultivators.
It attracted a large number of loose cultivators, forming a city mainly composed of cultivators.
With a large population, various commercial activities became frequent.
There were not only pill shops but also various classes being sold.
For example, the place in front of them was a place for teaching.
The content taught here was none other than array diagrams.
Of course, this was paid, and the price was quite high.
To attend classes here, Chen An had already spent hundreds of spirit stones, and it seemed that he hadn't finished yet and would need to spend more.
As for the young man in front of him, he was his classmate, Zhao Ji, a member of the Zhao family in Summer King City. He was also a cultivator, already at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Both of them were taking classes here, so they had gotten to know each other slowly.
"Brother Chen, what are your plans for the next few days?"
As they walked out of the school, Zhao Ji looked at Chen An in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"Me?"
Chen An thought for a moment and then said, "I should continue refining pills."
"The inventory in my pill shop is sold out again, so I need to replenish it, or else I won't have any pills to sell later."
He said.
"That makes sense."
Talking about this, there was a touch of envy on Zhao Ji's face. "Brother Chen, at such a young age, not only do you have such deep cultivation, but you also have such superb alchemy skills. You are truly enviable."
"Let me tell you, Brother Chen, with your great talent, you should continue on the path of a pill master, why bother coming here to learn array diagrams?"
He couldn't help but say.
This was indeed a heartfelt statement.
Cultivation was already difficult enough, and someone like Chen An, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at such a young age, was already a rare talent among cultivators. Even the geniuses in those prestigious families were only at this level.
What was more rare was that he not only had such cultivation, but also an extremely superb alchemy skill that made many alchemists in Summer King City admire him.
According to common sense, a talent like him should continue to develop and put more effort into alchemy and cultivation.
Why divert from the good path and come here to learn array diagrams?
Although being an array master was also profitable, Chen An's skills in alchemy were no less, so was it necessary to jump ship and learn this?
Aren't you afraid of being too greedy and not digesting it all?
In Zhao Ji's eyes, Chen An's decision to come and learn array diagrams was somewhat of a waste of time and spirits.
This was also the opinion of many people around them.
To Zhao Ji's words, Chen An did not explain anything, just smiled and said with some helplessness, "I also wish to advance further in my cultivation, but as a lone cultivator, it is already difficult to reach this level. I really don't know how to proceed next.”
