Chapter 236 - Travel
Liu He quickly left.
But before leaving, he also left a lot of things behind.
According to him, these things were all the good things he had accumulated over the years, things he temporarily couldn't use, so he handed them all over to Chen An for safekeeping, asking him to be careful when he went out later.
Chen An looked at the heavy pile of things, feeling a little moved.
This friend is really generous with his money.
Chen An counted the things inside.
Although Liu He's cultivation level was not high, he had a lot of good things.
Among the pile of things, not to mention the other stuff, there were three array symbols made directly by the Golden Core Elder.
And besides this, there were also many other good things.
It was obvious that Liu He had really emptied his family's treasures.
Chen An nodded and then put away the things, storing them in the White Tower.
After a short while, the rest of the people also arrived.
With his current identity, those who dared to visit him directly were basically not simple, either they were the Elder's personal disciples or the inner sect attendants.
In any case, they all had status and position.
They visited, not empty-handed, each bringing a lot of things.
Similarly, they also tactfully tried to persuade Chen An to dispel the idea of going out.
This should be the intention of the Elders.
For many Elders of Changyue Sect, asking them to stop Chen An from going out would easily offend the people of the Dan Tower.
But if it was Chen An himself who didn't want to go, saying that he had something temporary or didn't want to go out, it would be easier to explain.
At least on the surface, it was not that they were preventing him from going, but that Chen An had changed his mind.
This sounded much better in terms of reputation.
Of course, Chen An's determination to go out was firm.
He was running out of money.
On the way here, he had almost used up the resources he had accumulated in the mortal realm over the years, most of the pill formulas that could be extracted had been taken out, and his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage.
In this situation, if he wanted to maintain his reputation as a genius, he would continuously have to spend resources.
And to get resources, he needed to go out and find rare treasures.
Staying in Changyue Sect was safe, but without a supply of resources, it would be a waste of time for Chen An to stay.
So he still had to go out.
The minds of these Elders were destined to be disappointed.
Fortunately, in the last few days, many Elders in Changyue Sect seemed to understand that Chen An's mind was set, so they no longer sent people to persuade him, but instead began arranging people to accompany and protect him.
And the personnel they arranged were quite luxurious.
Two Golden Core Elders accompanied them, along with several core disciples.
"An Junior Brother, long time no see."
On the day before leaving, Chen An saw a familiar figure.
Outside the courtyard, a woman in white stood there, with exquisite beauty and a smile on her face, looking very friendly.
Looking at this person, Chen An was stunned, then reacted: "Senior Sister Song!"
"You're back?"
The person standing in front of him was none other than Song Qi.
Back in the day, it was Song Qi who brought Chen An into Changyue Sect.
And in the four or five years since then, along with Chen An's rise, Song Qi had also gained many benefits and improved.
Because of her close relationship with Chen An, she could get a lot of pills from him, whether for cultivation or for personal relationships.
And Song Qi was also quite good at managing herself.
So in the second year after Chen An entered Changyue Sect, she was taken in as a disciple by one of the Elders, and now she was a member of the core disciple team.
And in the past half year, Song Qi had been sent out to suppress rebellious cultivators in an area until recently returning.
This time, Changyue Sect may have considered Song Qi's close relationship with Chen An, so they deliberately arranged for her to take care of Chen An's daily life.
After all, Chen An was still only a thirteen-year-old child.
People of this age still need to be taken care of.
Chen An looked at Song Qi, looking very happy, while Song Qi also showed some nostalgia in her eyes as she looked at the much older Chen An in front of her.
When she brought Chen An to Changyue Sect, she had thought that Chen An would one day rise rapidly and grow quickly.
But even if she imagined, she never expected Chen An to grow to such an extent today.
Today, Chen An had achieved accomplishments that others could not achieve in a lifetime, both in terms of cultivation and alchemy.
In terms of cultivation, a thirteen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator was already breaking records in Changyue Sect and was amazing anywhere else.
In terms of alchemy, although Chen An had not studied alchemy for a long time, he could already refine top-quality Foundation Building Pills on his own.
These two achievements were stunning.
With such a genius, if given a little more time, no one knew where he would ultimately end up.
"I heard that you've been studying array formations recently."
Looking at Chen An, Song Qi asked.
"Yes."
Chen An nodded with a smile, then waved his hand.
Under the amazed gazes of the others around him, a strand of divine power dispersed from Chen An's palm, then arranged itself in mid-air, forming a complex array formation that manifested within it.
"Setting up an array out of nowhere, and it's even the most difficult Spirit Gathering Formation in the array."
Song Qi's face also showed amazement, surprised by Chen An's ability.
The standard for an array master's entry was being able to set up a complete array formation.
Generally speaking, the higher the completeness of the array formation, the better the effect, which meant the higher the memory of the array master.
Powerful array masters could even use the simplest materials to achieve excellent results.
And setting up an array out of thin air, relying solely on one's own divine power to lay out the array, was a result that could only be achieved by mastering the array formation.
In other words, at this moment, Chen An was definitely an elite even from the perspective of an array master.
How old was he!
Song Qi looked at Chen An's obviously young face, feeling a bit complicated and not knowing what to say.
Logically speaking, the stronger Chen An's talent, the more monstrous his performance, the more advantageous it would be for her.
After all, emotionally speaking, Chen An was also someone she had watched grow up and was quite important to her, like a younger brother.
Of course, although she said brother and sister, in reality, Song Qi had always treated Chen An as her son.
But looking at Chen An's seemingly knowledgeable and capable appearance, and thinking about her own difficult cultivation, the hardships she had experienced on the path of cultivation, she felt an urge to grab Chen An and give him a beating.
How can you waste your talent like this! How can you be so arrogant!
Is having good talent a license to do whatever you want!
Song Qi smiled on the surface, her mind filled with various thoughts, and in the end, she had to calm down and say, "Junior Brother An, this is not good."
"At your age, it's still time to focus on cultivation. As for array formations and the like, it's better not to get too involved, so as not to delay your cultivation."
Song Qi smiled and said, "When you reach Golden Core in the future, it's not too late to study these things."
In her opinion, alchemy and array formations were still less important than cultivation.
This could also be seen from the perspective of lifespan.
Although alchemy and array formations were also noble paths, as long as they did not reach the pinnacle, they could not bring about a great transformation in the level of life.
And if the physical body could not transform, the lifespan could not increase, and in the end, having a set of skills would only lead to death.
This was a common consensus among cultivators.
Song Qi did not want to see Chen An go down this path either, so she took every opportunity to advise him.
In her view, Chen An had already devoted enough time and energy to alchemy, there was no need to continue focusing on array formations as well.
"I understand."
Chen An just smiled at Song Qi's sincere advice and did not take it to heart.
Song Qi didn't say much more and could only sigh.
They chatted for a while in place, and then Song Qi turned and left to make preparations.
The next day, the group finally set off towards the direction of the Dan Tower.
......
On a bustling street, people were coming and going, with crowded figures everywhere.
Chen An walked on the street, looking around, with an interested expression on his face.
This place looked very prosperous, with many cultivators and a level of prosperity that Chen An had never seen before.
In the past, Chen An had been to many places where cultivators gathered, but none of them were as prosperous as this place.
Here, not only were there many cultivators, but there were also many rare treasures.
The various rare beasts, treasures, and unique pills that could be seen along the way were not rare in this place and could be found everywhere.
This was quite normal.
After all, in the Southern Region, the Dan Tower was a top force that rarely opened up to outsiders, and this entire Dan City was the Dan Tower's outreach, naturally becoming the most prosperous place nearby.
Not to mention places like the Haoshan Sect or Changyue Sect, even in the entire Southern Region, it was rare to find a place as prosperous as Dan City.
Chen An and his group had been here for about five days.
Since there was still some time until the agreed time with the Dan Tower, during this period, Chen An and his group rested nearby.
For this purpose, the Dan Tower deliberately arranged a guide to facilitate Chen An and the others to tour the surroundings of Dan City.
During this time, Chen An also gained a lot of knowledge.
Previously, in order to obtain source power, Chen An had also found many things while in the Changyue Sect.
So-called rare treasures, various unique treasures, Chen An had collected them from various sources.
But the things in Changyue Sect were still incomparable to what was in front of him now.
So during this time, Chen An had been wandering around the area, exploring in all directions.
