Chapter 1995: Chapter 1970: Herbal Medicine Market

Chen Yang could understand the other party’s eagerness to leave.

After all, having obtained such a fine item as Lingzhi, it’s natural not to want to linger outside.

One would definitely want to head back immediately and find a safe place to cultivate properly.

"Alright, I hope you really keep your word." Chen Yang nodded, saying nothing more.

The other party was strong; they probably wouldn’t renege on their promise.

Once the agreement was reached, Liu Ruyan drove off with a roar.

After watching her leave, Chen Yang turned and headed to the backyard kitchen to make himself breakfast.

After eating, he entered a state of cultivation, carefully enhancing his strength.

He had been stuck at the mid-level of the Gathering Spirit Realm for a long time.

He was eager to make progress.

Before he knew it, it was afternoon.

Liu Ruyan didn’t go back on her word.

Around three o’clock, almost four, she sent someone to deliver the Spirit Stones.

Four hundred pieces, no more, no less.

"Mr. Chen, our boss asked me to pass on a message."

After delivering the Spirit Stones, the person didn’t leave immediately but spoke to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked up at him and asked, "What message?"

"She said she appreciates you very much. If you ever consider joining the organization, you can look for her. They won’t mistreat you."

With that, the person left.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang frowned slightly.

But he didn’t say much else.

He watched the delivery person depart.

"Organization? What kind of organization could she belong to?"

Chen Yang pondered, yet without a clue, he knew too little about the cultivation world.

He had no idea how many cultivator organizations existed in this world.

"I really should go out and take a look when I get a chance, but first I need to improve my strength."

Even though Chen Yang’s current strength seemed top-notch, he was well aware that the outside world was vast, and many experts were yet to be encountered.

He took the Spirit Stones and immersed himself in cultivation again.

A day flew by, and by the next morning, he took two hundred Spirit Stones and made a trip to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.

He handed all the Spirit Stones to Chen Tianmin.

During this time, Chen Yang didn’t know how many resources he had sent to the Qiu Alliance.

Chen Tianmin had tried to decline several times, but eventually just stopped refusing and accepted them all.

However, while accepting them, he had Qiu Hongguang record everything, planning to repay once the Qiu Alliance was more developed.

"Yang Zi, we’ve already planned some development channels; you don’t need to send things like this. After all, you need resources for your own cultivation too." Chen Tianmin couldn’t help but say.

"Uncle, don’t worry about that. I have plenty of cultivation resources, otherwise how could I send you so much?" Chen Yang chuckled and explained.

Chen Tianmin thought about it and realized it made sense, so he didn’t say more.

"Yang Zi, how are things outside lately? Any movement from Blood Bat Hall? And I’ve heard that the Five Poisons Cult has been very active around here lately. What’s going on with them?"

Although things seemed calm during this time, Chen Tianmin remained vigilant and rarely went out, relying on Chen Yang for information.

Indeed, Chen Yang had been gathering information recently and knew quite a bit.

"No need to worry about Blood Bat Hall; they are far away in the provincial city, unlikely to investigate us here. But the Five Poisons Cult has been quite troublesome lately."

"A few days ago, some of them came to our village..."

Chen Yang recounted the incident of Xiaoxiao and Lingling falling ill.

After hearing this, Chen Tianmin frowned and seemed worried.

"The Five Poisons Cult is too mysterious an organization. Once involved, it becomes very serious. You need to be cautious to prevent harm to the villagers during this time." Chen Tianmin said seriously.

"Of course, I will be careful." Chen Yang nodded.

After chatting with Chen Tianmin for a while longer, he left the room.

Next, he went to Liu the Taoist’s room.

He found that the old fellow was excitedly packing his things inside.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be planning a long journey.

"Old fellow, what are you doing?" Chen Yang stood at the door and called out.

Upon hearing the voice, Liu the Taoist turned abruptly and looked at Chen Yang.

Seeing Chen Yang at the door, the old man’s smile widened.

"Ah, Chen Yang, it’s you! I’m so glad, I wanted to tell you the good news." Liu the Taoist was overjoyed, pulling Chen Yang into the room.

Chen Yang was bewildered, as he had never seen Liu the Taoist like this before.

"What’s the good news that makes you so excited?" Chen Yang asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, of course, it’s great news." Liu the Taoist teased a little before continuing, "There’s news from Lion Tiger Mountain. They say they’ve found an absolutely talented disciple for me to take in."

"The future of my Chi Yun lineage is secure."

Liu the Taoist exclaimed with excitement.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang understood immediately.

That explained the old fellow’s excitement.

"So you’re packing to go to Lion Tiger Mountain?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, that’s right, I need to get there quickly, or those old fellows at Lion Tiger Mountain might swipe my promising disciple." Liu the Taoist said happily, then continued packing.

At first, Chen Yang said nothing, but upon further reflection, he felt something was slightly off about the situation.
