60: Chapter 61 Planning

Seeing the Black-Clad Demonic Cultivator fleeing, Chen Fan immediately gave chase.

His identity had already been exposed; if he did not kill him, he would face retaliation in the future.

"Brat, you are courting death."

The Black-Clad Demonic Cultivator saw Chen Fan blocking his path and became somewhat angry from embarrassment.

Just as he was preparing to unleash his Magical Artifact, Chen Fan flickered and struck with the Thunder-Splitting Mountain Fist.

"Bang, bang..."

A series of iron fists rained down upon his body like raindrops.

Now that he was at the 12th Level of Qi Refining, the power of his iron fists was even greater than before.

"Pfft~"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Black-Clad Demonic Cultivator looked on in disbelief.

"What exactly is your cultivation level? Why is your Physical Body so formidable?"

"Hmph, is that important?"

Just as Chen Fan was preparing to kill him with full force, a more powerful High Grade Magical Artifact came whistling through the air.

It cut him directly in half at the waist.

The person who arrived was Wang Qingya, her face filled with hatred.

She reached out, took his Storage Pouch, and began to carefully examine it.

However, after searching through it, her expression grew increasingly ugly.

Seeing this, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat. He was unsure what she was looking for, so he had already prepared a large number of Talismans in his sleeves.

"It's actually not here."

A look of ruthlessness appeared on Wang Qingya's face, and she cast a fireball at the Storage Pouch.

"Shopkeeper Wang, since you are in no danger, I shall take my leave."

Chen Fan did not dare to act rashly, especially after seeing the endless array of High Grade Magical Artifacts in her possession; this only strengthened his resolve.

Just as he was preparing to leave, he saw her figure flicker and stumble.

Looking closer, her face was flushed, and her eyes were unfocused.

"What is this?"

Chen Fan suddenly recalled the strange mist from earlier and quickly understood, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"So she was drugged. What a heaven-sent opportunity! Today, I must interrogate her properly and find out where she is holding Shen Yueyao and her daughter."

Just as he prepared to step forward, Wang Qingya suddenly cast a massive white silk net.

Before he could react, he was already caught in it.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you and I have no grievances. If I hadn't acted just now, you would have…"

Wang Qingya's expression was cold, her eyes wide, and she said not a word.

With a surge of thick magic power, she grabbed Chen Fan and headed deep into the dense forest.

Not long after, they found a cave.

At this moment, her whole body was becoming increasingly hot, and the potent aphrodisiac caused her to stumble incessantly.

"There is no time."

Wang Qingya muttered, her gaze turning to Chen Fan, her expression becoming increasingly complex.

Afterward, she cast a strange spell that rendered him unable to move.

Just as Chen Fan wanted to say something, a rustling sound echoed.

Then came a faint scent of a woman, her breath as sweet as orchids, her skin smooth and supple, making one…

I do not know how much time had passed when Chen Fan slowly woke up, feeling a soreness all over his body.

Looking around, there was no one else; Wang Qingya was nowhere to be found.

"She won't get pregnant, will she!"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, took a Medicinal Pill, and headed towards the Qin Family territory.

A few days later, it seemed because of the intervention of the Zifu Family, news quickly arrived that both sides had ceased hostilities and made peace.

The Wang Family of Black Stone Fort no longer made things difficult for the Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Pavilion directly abandoned its plan to open an auction house.

As for the Qin Family and the Su Family, due to large-scale magical duels, a large number of Cultivators were killed or injured, causing both families to suffer heavy losses in their vitality.

In the end, the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors of both families could no longer stand by and watch; they appeared in person, and only then was a ceasefire reached.

Two months later, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Detected that the host has sired offspring, cultivation value +5%]

This was because Qin Yidan had successfully given birth to a boy.

Not long after, Liu Rushuang also successfully gave birth to a boy, and the System reward was still [value +5%].

With his cultivation value increasing by five percent consecutively, he could clearly feel his cultivation improving, his aura becoming thick and powerful, far exceeding that of an average 12th Level of Qi Refining Cultivator.

Perhaps it wouldn't take long before he could advance to the Peak Qi Refining Stage.

Thinking of Foundation Establishment, his heart stirred with inexplicable excitement.

With a wave of his long sleeves, he opened the side quests, and they had already changed.

[Side Quest: Seize a 1st-tier Spiritual Vein (Incomplete), Establish a Qi Refining Family (Incomplete); Advance to the 12th Level of Qi Refining as soon as possible (Completed); Sired ten offspring (Five offspring)]

"Not bad, everything is developing in a good direction. It is time to go out and seize a Spiritual Vein."

On this day, he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion as promised.

The moment he walked into the trading firm, he could feel a familiar spiritual sense from the second floor, seemingly looking over intentionally or unintentionally.

"Alchemist Chen, you have arrived." Xue Wentian enthusiastically brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, let us talk about business. Here are the Medicinal Pills you wanted."

"Good."

Xue Wentian took a quick look, confirmed everything was correct, and then brought out the next batch of refining tasks.

Chen Fan took a careful look and was quite surprised to find that the quantity of Medicinal Pills to be refined had significantly decreased.

However, he did not ask for details, and after finishing the spiritual tea, he prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xue Wentian slowly said, "Your wife and children are very safe in our shop, please rest assured."

"Is that so?"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, a strange expression appearing on his face.

Walking out of the Treasure Pavilion, he still couldn't help but look up at the second floor, feeling slightly worried, not knowing if she was pregnant.

Just after Chen Fan left, Wang Qingya, who was in the secret room on the second floor, touched her belly, her face filled with complexity.

Chen Fan circled the marketplace once and, finding no Cultivators following him, quietly entered the Guangtong Trading Firm.

After paying the Spirit Stones, the teleportation array opened quickly.

With his Realm improved, he did not feel any discomfort this time.

Arriving at Daoxuan City, Chen Fan went directly to the "Purple Qi Comes from the East" shop.

"You are here?"

The female receptionist with a bit of baby fat from last time welcomed him again, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

Arriving at the private room, Chen Fan did not waste any words and proceeded to sell the Medicinal Pills as usual.

However, it was a different Cultivator who came to appraise them this time.

He saw that this person was wearing white robes, holding a white fan, and had a handsome appearance.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Lv Moran, a member of the Lv Family of the Zifu Family."

"So it is Fellow Daoist Lv."

Chen Fan quickly stood up and slightly cupped his hands, clearly sensing that the other party's aura was thick and powerful, seemingly having already reached the Peak Qi Refining Stage.

Lv Moran nodded slightly, took a quick glance at the Medicinal Pills on the table, and smiled, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, who refined these Medicinal Pills? Our firm is willing to enter into a long-term partnership."

"These Medicinal Pills were refined by myself. I wonder what you mean by a long-term partnership?"

Lv Moran was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

"There are two types of long-term partnerships: join our Lv Family, or become a Guest Elder. Of course, regardless of the method, the benefits for you, Fellow Daoist, would be immense."

Chen Fan muttered to himself; he had already been deceived by the Treasure Pavilion and did not want to be restricted by any faction.

He pretended to think for a moment, and finally said with some difficulty, "I am accustomed to not being bound by others, so I am afraid I will have to disappoint you, Fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Lv Moran was slightly surprised.

One must know that many Cultivators were currently breaking their heads trying to rely on the Lv Family, yet the Cultivator before him was not interested.
