Chapter 232 - Treatment
"Liu Senior Brother, let's go!"
Giving a polite gesture to the surrounding cultivators, as if afraid that the irritable senior brother next to him would say something rash, Chen An quickly pulled the big man and left, walking away like that.
After they left, the people around looked at each other and sighed.
Many regretted that they were too slow in taking action, so they couldn't fulfill the promise.
Some were secretly resentful, feeling that the man had blocked their path.
In short, there were all kinds of emotions.
However, no matter what, after Chen An left, most of the people here immediately left, leaving only a few scattered individuals behind.
The lecturers around were not surprised at this scene, and had even become somewhat accustomed to it.
This scene was a new phenomenon that had appeared in recent years.
In the past one or two years, wherever Chen An appeared, a large number of people would follow.
These people's purpose was not really to listen to the lessons, but to establish a relationship with Chen An and get a few Foundation Establishment Pills from him.
There was no harm in listening to the lesson, the important thing was to establish a relationship with Chen An and get a few Foundation Establishment Pills from him.

There was no harm in listening to the lesson, the important thing was to establish a relationship with Chen An and get a few Foundation Establishment Pills from him.
Foundation Establishment Pills may not look like much, but they were an important resource needed for ascending to the Foundation Establishment stage.
In theory, with enough Foundation Establishment Pills to assist, combined with the right environment, it could even increase the probability of a cultivator ascending to the Foundation Establishment stage by forty percent.
This probability was already quite remarkable.
Of course, while Foundation Establishment Pills were good, they were also precious.
The Changyue Sect itself was not good at alchemy, and there were very few skilled alchemists within the sect.
As for the alchemy of Foundation Establishment Pills, that was even rarer.
It was not until the past two years that Chen An emerged, and with his own strength and the formula for Foundation Establishment Pills, he mastered the method of refining Foundation Establishment Pills, thereby providing Foundation Establishment Pills to the Changyue Sect.
In the past, the cultivators within the Changyue Sect did not have Foundation Establishment Pills available.
Because such a good thing that could assist cultivation and help with advancement would usually be consumed internally as soon as it appeared, so how could it flow out?
Not to mention, the Foundation Establishment Pills refined by Chen An not only had rich medicinal effects and outstanding effects, but also had high stability and yield.
Even ordinary alchemists could only produce a few pills in one furnace.
Chen An not only had a high yield, but also ensured that every Foundation Establishment Pill he produced was top quality, without a single defective one.
To be able to refine such a difficult elixir so easily, it could be imagined how talented he was in the path of alchemy.
It was precisely because of this that although Chen An had only been in the sect for four years, he was already the most well-known genius in the entire Changyue Sect.
Even the nearby immortal sects were aware of his reputation and would come from afar to seek pills.
Chen An followed Liu He and left.
"Junior Brother, you are still too kind to these people."
Walking on the road, Liu He advised Chen An, "Listen to your senior brother, you must not be too kind to these people. Otherwise, as time goes on, they will inevitably become more demanding and have bigger appetites."
"I understand."
Chen An smiled and said in his usual polite manner, "We are all senior brothers, there is no need to make things too tense."
"After all, they just want to pursue progress and get a few Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Just a few Foundation Establishment Pills."
Listening to this, Liu He shook his head, "Junior Brother, do you know how popular the Foundation Establishment Pills you refine are outside?"
"Three hundred spirit stones are just common Foundation Establishment Pills, the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pills you refine is excellent. If they were sold outside, they could fetch at least five hundred spirit stones. Selling them for only three hundred is really."
"That's outside."
Chen An still shook his head, with a smile on his face. "We are all fellow disciples, there is no need to argue about these things. Three hundred spirit stones are enough."
"Junior Brother, you are still too kind."
Liu He shook his head, somewhat displeased.
"It doesn't matter. Most of the pills I make are sold by several elders, so the quantity sold to these senior brothers and sisters is actually quite limited."
Chen An said softly, "It doesn't interfere with anything."
The power of Changyue Sect was much greater than that of the Haoshan Sect in the dust realm, with many outstanding cultivators.
But the internal conflicts here were much more serious.
Take the Foundation Establishment Pills refined by Chen An, for example, most of them flowed into the hands of the high-ranking members of Changyue Sect and were eventually consumed by their disciples.
As for those ordinary disciples, it was almost impossible for them to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, let alone in the past.
Relatively speaking, Chen An was their last hope.
Because of this, Chen An was happy to occasionally give away some things.
After all, the quantity was not large, it was just like spending money to buy a good reputation.
But this kind of behavior was undoubtedly not understood.
For example, Liu He in front of him, as a true disciple of the elder, had always had a good relationship with Chen An, so he couldn't understand Chen An's behavior of being taken advantage of.
"Speaking of which, I have already refined the pills you asked for before, Senior Brother. You can send someone to pick them up later."
Walking on the road, Chen An suddenly remembered and said.
"Really?"
Sure enough, Liu He's face showed joy, somewhat overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Junior Brother."
"With this furnace of pills from Junior Brother, I think I can make further progress."
As he laughed, he suddenly felt something was wrong and felt the changes in Chen An, bewildered.
"Junior Brother, did you have a breakthrough?"
He sensed the aura that Chen An had just flashed by, and said so.
"Mm, that's right."
Chen An nodded with a smile and said, "I had a breakthrough unintentionally while cultivating some time ago, and I barely caught up with your pace, Senior Brother Liu."
Liu He took a deep breath.
Chen An had already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and now, with this breakthrough, he had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
This was without focusing on cultivation, only on alchemy and learning.
Even without focusing on cultivation, this achievement was terrifying. If he were to focus solely on cultivation, how terrifying would he be?
It had to be known, Chen An was only thirteen years old this year.
He was truly the most arrogant person in the Changyue Sect.
"Compared to you, I really feel like a fool, Junior Brother."
Liu He said with a bitter smile.
"Senior Brother, there's no need for that."
Chen An smiled and comforted, "Everyone's circumstances are different, just like different flowers bloom at different times."
"I am just shining now, but Senior Brother Liu, your time is still to come, you are a late bloomer."
Late bloomer
Listening to this, Liu He's mouth twitched.
He was no ordinary person to become a true disciple of the elder, and was also a renowned genius, the kind of child that everyone envied.
He had achieved the perfect Qi Refining level before the age of thirty, only one step away from Foundation Establishment, which was enough to boast about.
But compared to Chen An in front of him, he could only be considered a late bloomer.
This was the effect of comparison.
Liu He deeply suspected that if Chen An was willing, he could achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty with his full efforts.
When that time comes, it would be quite exciting.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and invite, "Senior Brother Song invited me to have a drink before, Junior Brother, do you want to come along?"
"No."
Chen An shook his head and said with a smile, "It's getting late, I have a formation class to attend later, so I won't accompany you."
"A formation class?"
Liu He frowned, "Junior Brother, with such achievements in alchemy, why do you want to learn formations?"
"There's nothing special about it, I'm just interested in it, so I want to learn and see."
Chen An smiled and said, "After all, it's good to have multiple skills."
That's just for you.
Liu He silently complained.
With your ability to cultivate, refine pills, and also learn formations, if it were an ordinary person, they would have already collapsed and probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything.
But for you, it's just like that.
After all, the rules that were like iron for ordinary people were not applicable to the monster-like talent in front of him.
So he quickly bid farewell and left after giving Chen An a salute.
Chen An stood in place, watching him leave.
He watched Liu He's figure gradually disappear, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Moments later, he returned to his residence.
His residence was personally arranged by the elders of Changyue Sect, and in terms of treatment, it was no less than that of the true disciples, and could even be compared to the cave mansions of the elders.
Throughout the area, the spiritual energy turned into mist, drifting and fluctuating, with intricate spirit arrays drawn in various areas, firmly locking the spiritual energy of this place.
Without going anywhere else, this area alone was a good place for cultivation, where one could practice in seclusion for long periods of time.
Chen An returned to his residence and sat down quietly, crossing his legs.
"I finally reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Sitting cross-legged in place, Chen An's thought crossed his mind.
In his four years in Changyue Sect, his talent as a genius had already become deeply ingrained in the minds of others.
But only Chen An himself knew that he was not really a genius.
He was just gaming the system.
Many of the things he displayed before were mostly due to the accumulation of his past life and the gaming ability of the upgrade template.
The reasoning ability of the upgrade template could allow him to gain a learning and understanding ability different from ordinary people by consuming source energy, combined with his previous accumulation, which formed that powerful insight and swift learning ability that could be applied to anything he learned.
