Chen Yang swiftly defeated a powerful Thorn Pig, shocking his companions. He then returned to Cangnan Academy, collected his mission reward of over three thousand contribution points, and headed to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire about obtaining Spiritual Fire. The shopkeeper explained that Spiritual Fire is extremely rare, originating either from the genesis of the Mystic Realm or from ancient beasts, and is highly sought after by cultivators and alchemists alike.

Hearing Chen Yang take the initiative to ask about Spiritual Fire, he naturally assumed Chen Yang was an Alchemist.

"Mm, you could say half of one. I study it on and off myself." Chen Yang didn’t deny it and nodded in admission.

He had the Medicine King Canon, and without even noticing, he had already stepped into the field of Alchemists.

"I go, little bro, I really couldn’t tell. Your combat power is that strong, and you even know Alchemy?" Fu Jinbao’s face was full of shock, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Chen Yang grew more and more baffled.

"Since you don’t have it, I’ll stop bothering you. Next time I need something, I’ll come again."

The Treasure Pavilion had no Spiritual Fire, and Chen Yang felt a wave of disappointment. He didn’t plan to stay longer and prepared to leave.

"Hey, little bro, don’t be in such a rush to go."

Fu Jinbao spoke up again, calling out to stop Chen Yang.

"What is it?" Chen Yang halted his steps and turned back to look at him.

Fu Jinbao smiled and said, "I might not have Spiritual Fire here, but I do know a piece of news about Spiritual Fire. You might be very interested."

News about Spiritual Fire?

Chen Yang immediately turned back and asked, "What news?"

Fu Jinbao’s face was full of smiles as he moved in close to Chen Yang and said very cautiously, "Little brother Chen Yang, I normally don’t leak this kind of news. It’s only because it’s you that I’m telling you. You just need to know it, but don’t say it was me who told you."

Fu Jinbao’s sneaky look made it seem like he had a really good relationship with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang could also feel that this guy had clearly taken an interest in how unusual he was.

So he wanted to use revealing a bit of information to build a good relationship with him.

"Go on, I’m not loose-tongued. Don’t worry." Chen Yang said calmly.

"Alright." Fu Jinbao nodded, then lowered his voice and started talking.

"Let me tell you, according to some rumors, the interior of the Ferocious Beast Forest has been anything but quiet recently. Many powerful ferocious beasts are gathering, and some of the big sects and major powers near our Cangnan Academy are also continuously sending people into the Ferocious Beast Forest."

"It’s said the reason they’ve stirred up such a big commotion is because a baby of an ancient race has appeared in the Ferocious Beast Forest, and it’s accompanied by Beast Spirit Fire!"

"That’s what drew the attention of all sides."

"Including our academy. A lot of the higher-ups have moved out and entered the Ferocious Beast Forest.

"And those monster-level geniuses from the academy’s First Region have all gone too."

...

Fu Jinbao spoke at one stretch, laying out the entire piece of news in full detail.

A baby of an ancient race, accompanied by Beast Spirit Fire?

Chen Yang was shocked inside.

At the same time, he took a bit of a liking to this Fu Jinbao.

A piece of news this big was definitely very secret, yet he’d told him. That counted as a personal favor.

"Little brother Chen Yang, I think if you really need Spiritual Fire, you have to seize this opportunity."

"Although there are tons of powerhouses entering the Ferocious Beast Forest this time, chances and opportunities always depend on luck."

"Who knows, maybe those powerhouses won’t get anything, and it’ll be you with the good luck who ends up getting it?"

Fu Jinbao added with a smile from the side.

What he said made a lot of sense. This kind of thing was all about fortuitous encounters.

Besides, Chen Yang figured his own strength wasn’t weak.

He might not be top-tier, but he definitely had the ability to protect himself.

"Mm, thanks." Chen Yang nodded slightly while also expressing his gratitude to Fu Jinbao.

This piece of information was indeed quite important for him.

"Hehe, no need to thank me. If you get the chance, just come support my business more often." Fu Jinbao chuckled, and seeing that Chen Yang looked like he was tempted to take a gamble, he used the opportunity to say, "Little brother Chen Yang, the situation in the Ferocious Beast Forest is very complicated. If you’re going, I suggest you buy some things from me."

"Once you get into the deeper parts, you’ll definitely need them."

The previous second, Chen Yang had felt this guy was pretty reliable.

But the next second, after hearing that line, he suddenly felt he wasn’t reliable at all.

And it was packed full of套路—classic sales pitch.

All that stuff he’d just said, could it be he only wanted him to buy more things here?

"Hehe, little brother Chen Yang, don’t look at me like that. I’m doing this for your own good. I’ve got tons of good stuff here you’ll absolutely find useful, and I’ll even give you a discount." Sensing Chen Yang’s gaze, Fu Jinbao felt a bit embarrassed and immediately laughed awkwardly as he spoke.

Chen Yang felt he was being played, but he couldn’t deny that what this guy said did make some sense.

The Ferocious Beast Forest’s situation was complicated, and there were quite a few good things here. Buying a few might actually come in handy.

"Alright then, recommend something. I’ll take a look." Chen Yang said calmly.

"Hehe, sure." Once he saw Chen Yang agree, Fu Jinbao instantly perked up.

He dragged Chen Yang around the Treasure Pavilion for a tour.

As they walked, he recommended all kinds of good stuff to Chen Yang.

This Treasure Pavilion really lived up to its reputation of having anything and everything.

There was all sorts of weird junk.

Weapons, elixirs, magic artifacts—everything you could think of.

But most of it was stuff Chen Yang didn’t need, so before Fu Jinbao could say much more,

Chen Yang cut him off.

He didn’t let him keep rambling on.

After they circled around a big loop, Fu Jinbao had introduced quite a lot, but the number of things Chen Yang actually bought could be counted on one hand.

He bought a few bottles of Spirit Qi Liquid and some special-effect talismans.

Altogether, he spent over a thousand contribution points.

After buying these things, Chen Yang had intended to leave immediately.

But just as he was about to go, his attention was caught by a Purple Gold Gourd placed on a table.

Fu Jinbao was sly as a fox.

Noticing Chen Yang’s gaze and how interested he seemed in that Purple Gold Gourd, he hurriedly picked it up and introduced it seriously.

"Little brother Chen Yang, this is something I strongly recommend you buy."

Fu Jinbao said.

"What does this thing do?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

Because it made him think of that old beggar he’d run into a couple days ago.

The old beggar also had a gourd, and it was pretty magical.

The liquor inside never seemed to run out, like it was inexhaustible.

It had a very powerful storage function.

"This Purple Gold Gourd is a magic artifact used to store things!"

"But what makes it different from ordinary storage artifacts is that it can store living beings."

"In other words, if the conditions allow, you can directly put a ferocious beast, or even some people, inside."

"Of course, the premise is that the living being doesn’t resist voluntarily, or that it can’t resist at all."

Fu Jinbao explained.

Hearing this introduction, Chen Yang immediately felt it wasn’t all that useful.

"So it’s only for storage and nothing else?" Chen Yang pressed.

"Mm..." Fu Jinbao fell silent for a moment, as if thinking about whether to say something.

Seeing this look on his face, Chen Yang felt there was probably something up with this gourd.

Just as he was about to speak, Fu Jinbao took the initiative and started talking.

"Little bro, to be honest, this gourd is damaged..."

"Damaged?" Chen Yang was puzzled.

It looked very exquisite on the outside; it didn’t seem like there was any problem.

"Yeah. Actually, based on our Treasure Pavilion’s research, this Purple Gold Gourd was originally supposed to be a very powerful treasure. It’s just that some of the internal functions were damaged, so right now it can only be used to store things and absorb living beings."

"If you have the ability to repair it, its potential is limitless."

Fu Jinbao talked it up like it was something heaven-defying.

But there was no way Chen Yang believed that kind of nonsense.

If it really could be repaired, wouldn’t the Treasure Pavilion have fixed it themselves? Why would they still be using it as a regular storage artifact?

That said, Chen Yang actually did need something like this right now.

Because he had too much stuff on him.
