Zhao Chulu's arrogance may be inflated, but he is truly accurate in judging people.

Chu Shen's experience with Xiao Hongling was indeed quite memorable, especially because she was a female cultivator of comparable strength. Dual cultivation with her brought him rewards far surpassing those from the women in his family: her cultivation level was equivalent to the result of many years of arduous cultivation, and the sensations were much stronger compared to mortal women.

Xiao Hongling's emotions were also conflicted. Although she had sold herself to Chu Shen, she was still unwilling and resistant deep down. However, after their first time together, her turbulent emotions calmed down, and she could feel that she had gained some benefits.

She immediately understood that the union between her and Chu Shen was not simply a relationship between a man and a woman.

For cultivators, this was a temptation.

Moreover, in her current situation where her meridians were damaged, her cultivation was not progressing but regressing, and she was on the verge of being expelled from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, this was undoubtedly another lifeline thrown to a drowning person.

Furthermore, the spirit pills that Chu Shen gave her were indeed of excellent quality, with much stronger effects than those she had used before. It was evident that he was a promising rising star in the field of alchemy.

As a result, the benefits brought by Chu Shen made her greedy. Combined with her desire for strength and the profound impact of their first time together, she had complex feelings towards Chu Shen.

When Chu Shen found her again and had her a few more times, she finally developed a thought of "since it's already like this, following this man doesn't seem bad." It wasn't quite self-abandonment, but rather finding a reasonable excuse for submission. She even became addicted to the enjoyment.

After the clouds dispersed and the rain cleared, the two of them, who had tidied up, finally got down to business.

Chu Shen fully understood the cause and effect of Xiao Hongling falling into the trap of borrowing and lending, and he became more certain of Yuan Qingyin's scheme.

No wonder this woman's destiny has a "half-step abyss" in it. She almost got mistaken for a breeding sow.

Hmm, following him, Chu Shen, wouldn't lead to falling into an abyss!

Xiao Hongling, on the other hand, had no comment on this. In the end, she still couldn't escape the fate of being controlled by others.

But when she heard that Yuan Tao had found Chu Shen afterwards, and that Chu Shen had helped her repay the debt while suspecting that Yuan Tao and others had a conspiracy, she immediately became vigilant.

"If it were before, I would probably think that they couldn't possibly have any conspiracy. After all, I'm grateful to the person who helped me so enthusiastically after I was poisoned.

But now, I'm sure they won't give up easily!"

Thinking about the debt trap set by these people, Xiao Hongling gritted her teeth in hatred.

If it weren't for these people's instigation, after she had spent all her savings, she should have realized that staying in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace was impossible and chosen to leave proactively. In that case, at least she could still bring her family and look forward to the future, instead of almost becoming prey for those guys.

"I think the same way," Chu Shen agreed with her judgment. "So, tell me everything you know about these guys, don't leave anything out. Tell me everything you know."

Without hesitation, Xiao Hongling revealed all the information she knew.

After listening, Chu Shen had a clear understanding in his heart. "Be careful during this period of time. Although those people won't dare to act openly, they might make some covert moves. It will be quite difficult to deal with them without evidence."

For example, if Xiaohongling's poisoning this time was not an accident but a deliberate act of poisoning, and it was covered up seamlessly, the perpetrator's actions would not be investigated.

Xiaohongling is not really stupid, she just made the same mistake as Chu Shen's concubines, trusting too much in the deterrent power of Langhun Heavenly Palace and neglecting the darkness in the shadows.

Having learned a lesson now, she naturally won't make the same mistake again.

After a few days, Chu Shen welcomed his first wilderness trial since coming to the Alchemy Academy.

As an alchemist, it is not just about sitting in front of the alchemy furnace and refining pills through various methods, but also about leaving the alchemy room, stepping into nature, and searching for enough high-quality alchemy materials.

Being a homebody won't make an excellent alchemist.

He originally thought it would be a team effort, with the guidance of the alchemy masters from the academy, and the other students going to the wilderness together to experience nature through the eyes of an alchemist.

Only after participating did he realize that the alchemy masters from the academy were only responsible for taking them out of the safe activity area of Langhun Heavenly Palace and leaving them in a place called "Shiwan Dashan" on the "new map," allowing him and the other students to freely explore. In the end, the score would be based on the quality and quantity of the materials collected, defeating the wild creatures, and exploring the secret realms, as determined by the scholars.

Of course, there are safety measures in place as well. Every scholar participating in the trial will receive an alchemy academy waist badge. If they feel that they can't hold on, they can return to the safe zone using the badge.

However, this safety measure is not foolproof. If the scholar hasn't reacted in time to use the badge and dies, then of course, only a corpse will be sent back.

Chu Shen immediately realized that if Yuantao and the others wanted to harm him, this would be the best opportunity.

RE...

He took a look at the vast and desolate appearance of the Ten Thousand Mountains, not that he looked down on people like Yuantao, but could those guys really ambush and accurately find him without the protection of the Alchemy Academy's waist badge?

"Maybe not necessarily, after all, they have been mingling in Chongxue Peak for many years and are very familiar with the rules. Who knows if they will find any loopholes?"

Chu Shen thought for a moment and decided to take some precautions to ensure his safety.

He took out two golden talismans and stuck them inside his clothes. Although these high-quality talismans produced by the system were not of high grade, their effectiveness was very strong. They were basically immune to attacks from Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators, and it would probably take a Spirit Gathering cultivator of at least three levels above him to break through them with one strike.

He also put two explosive talismans in his sleeves. Similarly, these high-quality talismans produced by the system were much stronger than ordinary talismans. Their attack power could reach the peak level of the Foundation Building stage. Once there was danger, he would let the other party taste what it meant to be covered by firepower.

He inserted two speed-enhancing talismans into the soles of his shoes, which greatly increased his movement speed. Coupled with the Cloud Dragon Hidden Body Technique, he would be the most outstanding in this complex terrain.

He also had to be prepared in case the enemy missed with their first strike and tried to escape from a thousand miles away. He had to have the Frost Protection Talisman ready. This thing could rebound part of the attacker's damage and add a frost effect, reducing their movement speed...

Who could have imagined that this guy would turn himself into a mobile arsenal?

Anyway, he had many concubines and would just brush the system rewards when he had nothing to do. He had a lot of various strange things on hand. As long as it wasn't a cultivator of the level of an old monster, he was confident that he could confuse the opponent with all these miscellaneous things.

And yet, he still felt it wasn't enough. He even took out the embryo of a famous sword.

Although it was not yet a complete flying sword, it already had the shadow of a famous sword. In terms of hardness, attack power, and other attributes, it was not too inferior compared to the standard scholar weapons issued by Chongxue Peak.
