Zheng Tuo’s storage bag brought Chen Nan great delight; just seeing the hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones made him smile widely, even entertaining the thought of robbing more disciples from top sects.

But he quickly shook his head vigorously: "How could I have such a terrifying thought? Should the events of the Nine Provinces be reenacted in the Inner Sea?"

Chen Nan would not forget that back on the Nine Provinces Continent, he offended numerous top forces, resulting in being hunted down, even provoking the Yama Hall’s assassins.

Even on the Endless Sea, neither the Righteous Alliance nor the Demon Sect could tolerate him, and he didn’t want to experience that feeling of having nowhere to go again.

So when the idea of robbing top forces first emerged, he forcefully suppressed it.

"However, if they come to provoke me, then they can’t blame me."

After saying this, he continued to search through Zheng Tuo’s storage bag and found that besides the spirit stones, there were several spiritual artifacts and talismans, all of which were Seventh Grade talismans, quite valuable.

"These talismans, while not needed, can be sold for a good price."

Chen Nan muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he discovered nine-sided array flags in Zheng Tuo’s storage bag.

The array flags had poles made of Red Sun Gold Wood, engraved with arrays to gather nature’s spiritual energy, allowing the formation set up with these flags to operate for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The flag surface was made from Fire Silkworm Silk, interwoven with Spirit Golden Thread, with the words "Golden Dawn" inscribed, making it impervious to blades, axes, water, and fire, and even enhancing the power of fire attribute arrays.

Moreover, each array flag was adorned with a Fiery Sun Divine Crystal, an extremely rare and valuable Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, around which a miniature array was inscribed.

This set of array flags, whether in appearance or practicality, was outstanding among Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and not inferior to ordinary Sixth-Grade Array Banners.

The array flags Chen Nan had, for setting up arrays, were made from sea beast skin and bones, harvested from creatures he hunted in the Outer Sea, and could only set up simple arrays.

The swords of the Seventy-two Star Constellation Sword Formation could only be used for sword arrays, incapable of forming other arrays, leaving Chen Nan, even as an Array Master, unable to display his skills.

Now with this set of Golden Dawn Array Flags, setting up Seventh Grade Arrays was no longer a problem, and he could even barely construct Sixth-grade Arrays.

"This Zheng Tuo, really delivered a big gift."

Chen Nan gleefully collected all the items, then opened Shi Rou’er’s storage bag, finding it filled with various cosmetics in abundance, while there were few spirit stones or spiritual artifacts, with only a few valuable items.

It seemed she had exchanged all her spirit stones for these adornments.

He felt speechless, as a proper cultivator, one entering the Foundation Establishment Realm would undergo Purification, becoming beautiful without the need for cosmetics.

Using cosmetics instead seemed pedestrian.

But Shi Rou’er did just that, giving off a strong mundane aura, no wonder Zheng Tuo was so captivated by her.

Next was Elder Mei Gui’s storage bag, which mostly contained spiritual medicines and elixir pills, with very few spirit stones and other items, much to Chen Nan’s disappointment.

"A dignified Golden Core Realm Perfect Cultivator, with one foot already in the Nascent Soul Stage, having wealth inferior to a disciple from Li Luang Palace?"

Chen Nan pouted discontentedly, taking out all the spiritual medicines, planting those he could in the Spirit Medicine Garden, and storing the rest safely in the Immortal Hall.

The previously mysterious and grand Immortal Hall now served as Chen Nan’s storeroom, cluttered with stuff.

Having sorted out the spoils of this battle, Chen Nan finally stepped into the Time Domain to restore himself, impatient to advance his cultivation further without wasting time.

If Taiyin was allowed to escape, it would be a great loss.

...

After personally ending Mei Gui, Yun Ying finally let go of her knot and felt quite happy, sitting by the window, resting her chin on her hands, gazing outside.

"Following Chen Nan to stand up for justice sounds pretty good, I just don’t know what he’s thinking."

Even though Chen Nan hadn’t revealed his background, she vaguely guessed it was extraordinary, given his significant strength, able to slay Golden Core Realm Perfect Cultivators with a Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm cultivation.

A prodigy like that should have been famous long ago, yet she’d never heard of the name Chen Nan.

But she didn’t care about that, as now only Chen Nan sincerely cared for her, in name they were junior and senior disciples, but it felt more like Chen Nan was looking after her.

"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"

Chen Nan’s unexpected voice from behind startled Yun Ying, making her jump.

"No, nothing," Yun Ying shook her head guiltily: "When did you come back? You made no sound, trying to scare me?"

Chen Nan chuckled helplessly: "It’s obviously you were too lost in thought to hear my footsteps, and now you’re blaming me?"

"Hmph, it’s your fault regardless." Yun Ying said stubbornly, crossing her arms.

Chen Nan sighed, but quickly continued seriously: "I’m ready now, how about you?"

Yun Ying knew exactly what he was referring to, she immediately stood up and said: "Of course I’m ready, let’s go!"
