Chen Yang, having acquired the beast spirit fire from an ancient breed monkey, quickly returns to Cangnan Academy. He decides to bring the still-unconscious woman he saved along, despite the risks. Upon arrival, he cleans himself up and heads to the Treasure Pavilion to get more antidote ingredients for her. Meanwhile, the academy is organizing a large-scale search in the Ferocious Beast Forest due to the previous night's disturbance, but Chen Yang declines an offer to lead a team.

The ancient breed is already on him, and the beast spirit fire too, why waste time on such things?

A thousand or so contribution coins a day might have tempted him a lot before.

But now, it’s nothing at all.

With so many good things on him, he could easily exchange them for a large number of contribution coins.

Knowing what was going on in the square, Chen Yang didn’t pay much attention.

He turned around and headed straight to the Treasure Pavilion.

Coincidentally, when he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, that crafty guy Fu Jinbao had just shown up for work.

"Hey! Chen Yang, my young brother, how come you’re back? Isn’t the turmoil in the mountains still ongoing? How did you return early?" Fu Jinbao initially looked surprised and then, quite delighted, looked at Chen Yang and said, "Could it be that you’ve already obtained the beast spirit fire?"

"..."

Chen Yang was speechless because he could tell that the look of surprise on Fu Jinbao’s face was obviously faked!

"Can you be any craftier? There wasn’t a single chance in the mountains, yet you passed the information to me to take a risk. What were your intentions?" Chen Yang asked coldly, clearly intending to question him aggressively.

Upon hearing this, Fu Jinbao’s expression immediately turned surprised again: "What? No chance at all, that’s impossible. Now that the ancient breed has run away with the beast spirit fire, everyone has a chance."

"..."

Chen Yang originally intended to question him aggressively but was choked by this sentence.

Because, strictly speaking, it indeed was a chance, and a big one at that.

It’s just that Chen Yang knew in his heart that such a chance was merely an accident.

If not for a small hiccup, that ancient breed and the beast spirit fire would have definitely been taken by the elders long ago.

How could there be any chance for others?

This guy is truly crafty.

"You are truly crafty. From now on, I’ll just call you Fu Crafty," Chen Yang said coldly.

"Heh, Chen Yang, my young brother, it’s not like that. There was indeed a chance, otherwise, why would I let you take the risk? It’s okay if you didn’t get it; next time there’s a good opportunity, I’ll definitely inform you first," Fu Jinbao chuckled awkwardly seeing Chen Yang was lost for words.

He didn’t mind at all about Chen Yang calling him Fu Crafty.

"You can keep your news to yourself; I don’t need it anymore."

Chen Yang snorted coldly, showing no interest.

"Haha, Chen Yang, my young brother, don’t be angry. To be honest, I did think about the number of people coming, but I truly didn’t know that the high echelons of the academy would ally with others."

"You can’t blame me either. I was acting with the best of intentions. Think about it, who would leak such a big piece of information to you?"

"You should know that even Han Lin from District Two asked me, but I didn’t tell him a single thing."

...

Fu Jinbao continued with a smile, as if he felt greatly wronged.

"Alright, alright, let’s let this matter slide, I don’t want to dwell on it anymore." Chen Yang knew that this old guy was very crafty and slippery, it would be meaningless to argue with him.

It would be purely a waste of breath, better to focus on getting things done.

"Do you have..." Chen Yang directly listed all the things he needed.

They were all the ingredients for the Transforming Spirit Powder.

"The things you mentioned aren’t very rare at all, our Treasure Pavilion definitely has them," Fu Jinbao said seriously, stroking his chin and sizing Chen Yang up before continuing, "But as far as I know, combining these herbs is for crafting the Transforming Spirit Powder antidote. Brother Chen Yang, why do you need to craft the Transforming Spirit Powder antidote?"

"Could it be that you were affected by the Transforming Spirit Powder?"

Chen Yang was taken aback, not expecting that Fu Jinbao actually knew about the Transforming Spirit Powder.

If he had known this, he would have bought the items separately.

This antidote was meant to save that "witch". If Fu Jinbao mentioned that he was making the Transforming Spirit Powder, wouldn’t that attract trouble?

"What Transforming Spirit Powder? I don’t understand. I’m going to use these herbs for separate alchemy processes." Chen Yang felt shaken inside but didn’t show any unusual emotions on the surface.

"Not for that? Then how can it be such a coincidence that the herbs you need are precisely for the antidote?" Fu Jinbao didn’t seem to believe Chen Yang.

Yet Chen Yang remained unchanged.

"Are you selling it or not? What’s with all the talk?" Chen Yang was unwilling to say more to him.

Situations like these are best resolved with minimal conversation.

Otherwise, it just makes things worse.

"Heh, sell, of course, sell. It’s nothing special, why wouldn’t I sell it? Young brother, please wait a moment, I’ll fetch them for you right away," Fu Jinbao chuckled twice and, without further questioning, went into the shop to get the things for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stood by the entrance, waiting.

While waiting, Chen Yang used his divine sense to inspect the inside of the Purple Gold Gourd.

The internal space was vast, piled with many things, yet there was still plenty of room left.

In the very center of the vacant space, the monkey was curled up in a ball.

The flames on its body were still faintly burning, which looked particularly magical.

Moreover, Chen Yang noticed something peculiar.

When he first met this little monkey last night, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation from it at all.

The majority of the spiritual energy fluctuation was emanating from the flames.

However, upon inspection now, he found that there was spiritual energy fluctuation within the little monkey!

And it’s not low at all, already having the power of the middle stage of Gathering Spirit.

"What’s happening? It’s lying still, could it be advancing its realm?"

Chen Yang pondered silently.

Realizing this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

If it truly was advancing its realm, to what extent would it rise?

If it was the Condensation Realm, that would be fine, Chen Yang’s strength was formidable, and he still had the confidence to control it.

But if this guy’s realm climbed crazily, exceeding his own realm, even directly reaching the Transcendent Realm, what would he do?

He would not be able to handle it.

That would be a big problem.

"Better observe it more, and if it’s really dangerous, act accordingly."

Regarding this ancient breed, Chen Yang had never dealt with it before.

He had no understanding of its behaviors.

He could only take it one step at a time.

"Chen Yang, my young brother."

This time, Fu Jinbao returned.

He was holding a large bundle of herbs in his hands.

Everything that Chen Yang needed was inside.

"Here, this is what you need." Fu Jinbao approached and handed the items to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang snapped out of his thoughts and took them.

"Alright, how many contribution coins?" Chen Yang asked.

"Normally, these things would cost at least fifteen hundred, but last time was indeed my lack of diligence. To apologize, I’ll give you a discount, just give twelve hundred." Fu Jinbao chuckled, showing some remorse.

"That’s more like it," Chen Yang rolled his eyes at him, then took out the jade token and transferred twelve hundred contribution coins to him.

Having purchased things before and now another twelve hundred of contribution coins...

In the blink of an eye, he hardly had any contribution coins left on the jade token.

He couldn’t help but sigh; these contribution coins really weren’t enough to spend.
