Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

Yao Han suddenly heard a dull thud in his ear.

He was stunned, because the thud was not caused by a knock, but rather originated from within his body!

The moment the knuckles touched the jade pillar, the true qi that had been dormant in the dantian suddenly became restless, as if it was about to burst out of the body!

This scene seemed familiar; when he encountered the fire amber containing dragon blood in the market, his true qi had the same reaction.

Yao Han was startled and quickly circulated his internal energy, using all his strength to suppress the true qi. When he came to his senses, he was covered in sweat.

He maintained his previous posture, scanned the courtyard several times with his divine sense, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he slowly turned around and walked casually toward Jiang Fanyu.

Jiang Fanyu was sitting at a stone table, chatting enthusiastically with a fellow traveler. They had even poured two cups of wine. Yao Han bowed to the two of them and sat down next to him, casually interjecting a few words. However, he was still filled with lingering fear and kept glancing at the dragon pillar.

He now only hoped that the Jade Dragon Wanderer was not nearby. If he accidentally alerted this person, he wouldn't be able to leave Jiuyin easily.

While the Dragon Qi Technique had greatly benefited him, perhaps because it incorporated "human energy" into its cultivation method, he was easily influenced by external energy.

The advantage is that if there is any great opportunity similar to dragon blood, he will definitely notice it immediately. The disadvantage is that he will be triggered by any movement, just like just now.

Although he had completely refined the dragon blood from before, it had not yet been fully integrated. To achieve complete control and absolute suppression, he would need to cultivate the Dragon Qi Technique to at least the fifth level.

After all, this is the legendary true spirit essence blood. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need some means to control Ruyi. The fact that he, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, was able to refine it is simply due to good luck and the benefit of the Dragon Qi Technique.

That's right, it was just good luck.

Yao Han had a very clear understanding of himself; the reason he was able to rebuild his foundation back to the Foundation Establishment stage was largely due to luck.

The unexpectedly acquired Qiankun Bag contained the Dragon Qi Technique, the Burning Shadow Whip, the Soul Building Record, the Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation... Each item was an immense stroke of luck, almost more than all the opportunities he had encountered in the past hundred years combined.

They say that after the worst comes the best, but this "blessing" came far too much, and he even felt overwhelmed.

Sometimes he wondered if he had taken over the original owner's luck while possessing her body, and whether he should go back sometime to visit her, offer incense to the Zhang family, and seek revenge...

However, even if you have the life to take it, you also need to have the life to spend it. Before your cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage... no, before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you still need to be careful. If that move just now really alarmed some Core Formation cultivator and they took a liking to the dragon blood in your body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Junior brother, why haven't you said anything? What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Fanyu poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Yao Han.

The latter took the glass and made up an excuse:

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about what kind of pills I should buy for the early stages of Foundation Establishment."

He remembered that he still had a jade token from Liancao Herbal Medicine Shop, which allowed him to get a 50% discount on medicine.

"Hey, I know this well. In the early stages, there are only three things: Yin-Yang Pills, Qingyun Pills, and Zihe Liquid. The first two are the most common, while Zihe Liquid is a bit more expensive, but it should be available in Jiuyin. If you want to buy some, I know a reliable place..."

Jiang Fanyu stopped mid-sentence as a group of people entered the courtyard from outside. The burly man at the head of the group, upon seeing him, laughed loudly and walked over.

"Brother Jiang, you must have been waiting long. I'm so sorry!"

Jiang Fanyu stood up to greet him:

"It's only been a short while! We haven't seen each other for ages. Come, let me introduce you. This is my good friend from the Juyi Gang, Brother Xu Wucai. Brother Xu, this is my junior brother from the same sect, Yao Han."

Yao Han stood up with Jiang Fanyu, greeted Xu Wucai, and looked behind him with a strange expression.

He didn't try to hide it, and everyone could see his expression clearly. Xu Wu followed Yao Han's gaze with some confusion and looked behind him, landing on a kind-looking cultivator whose two thick horizontal eyebrows were quite eye-catching.

Xu Huan, who competed with Yao Han for that piece of fire amber in the market just over a year ago, is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Jiang Fanyu was also somewhat puzzled, glancing at the other person and then at his own junior brother:

"You two know each other?"

Yao Han smiled:

"We not only know each other, but we also had a period of connection."

Xu Huan gave a wry smile and bowed deeply to Yao Han:

"It's been many days since we last met. I didn't expect you to have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It seems I should address you as a senior. I just didn't expect you to be a disciple of the Water Moon Palace. No wonder you are so wealthy. We rogue cultivators are simply no match for you. I apologize for any offense I may have caused in the market earlier. I hope you will forgive me."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, there's no need for such formalities. I observe that your cultivation seems to have improved as well. Given time, you will surely advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Yao..."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jiang Fanyu and Xu Wucai finally understood their relationship. The latter laughed heartily and put his arm around Xu Huan's shoulder.

"Since you two know each other, that makes things easier! Huan'er and I are cousins, so I really need to bring him along on this trip."

Jiang Fanyu's eyes flashed:

"What do you mean by that, Brother Xu?"

Not only him, but Yao Han was also somewhat surprised.

I thought this treasure hunt was just a matter for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but I didn't expect the other party to bring along a Qi Refining cultivator.

It wasn't that he looked down on Xu Huan, but since Xu Wucai had made such a decision, there must be some calculation involved.

Xu Wucai chuckled, looked around, and bowed to Jiang Fanyu:

"Brother Jiang, this is not the place to talk. You two must be tired from your long journey. Why don't you come to my humble abode for a rest? I, Xu, can then do my best to be a good host."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Xu!"

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Fellow Daoist Yao, please!"

And so the four of them left the Juyi Gang's headquarters.

After the group left, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a golden-white streak of light, as swift as lightning, suddenly streaked across the sky. Wherever it went, a strong wind arose, and the cultivators scattered!

As the light touched the ground, a powerful aura rose from it, causing all the cultivators remaining in the sect to tremble with fear!

A flash of white light revealed an elderly man in a magnificent robe, with a straight back, even white hair, a weathered face, and eyes that were almost squeezed into a line by the wrinkles on his face.

A white light flashed in his eyes, and his Core Formation stage divine sense swept outwards in all directions, scanning everyone in the gang in a short time.

The old man's gaze fell on the dragon pillar in the courtyard, then looked down at the ground. He remained silent for a long time, paced around a few times, and then walked quickly toward the boy guarding the gate not far away.

"I have met, I have seen the real person."

The boy was startled. He was only at the first level of Qi Refining. When the old man looked at him, he didn't dare to breathe loudly, and his heart seemed to slow down.

This Jade Dragon Wanderer is usually elusive and never gets involved in the gang's affairs, so why is he acting so strangely today?

"Tell me, were there any outsiders visiting the gang today?"

"Outsiders... no, everyone who came today is a regular, there are no outside cultivators."

The boy lowered his head, his little hand awkwardly covering his chest.

"..."

His subtle movements did not escape the old man's notice.

Yulong Langren remained expressionless, looked around, and then cast a strange spell. A gray wind rose from the courtyard, enveloping the two of them.

Then, Jade Dragon Ronin reached out and grabbed the boy's forehead, lifting him up!
