The village beauty and me!

Faced with the fat man's question, Chen Huan simply sniffed the air and immediately showed an expression of understanding.

They changed their previous sneaky, crouching-down, stealthy approach.

He stood up straight and said frankly, "There's absolutely no need for security personnel here."

"The Ouyang family has taken ample precautions, and they are extremely vicious and ruthless measures."

"What do you mean, bro? Can you stop being so mysterious? What time is it?" The fat man blinked like a curious child.

"Don't you know what the Ouyang family's best methods are?" Chen Huan replied casually as he walked forward.

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "You mean poison?"

"Is there something poisonous around here?"

Chen Huan snorted, "It's not just poison, it's more like a poison array."

"They mixed a lot of poisons together and planted them in that area in front."

"Anyone who is unaware of the dangers will immediately die from the poison once they enter."

The fat man immediately stopped and grabbed Qiao Lingling, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"No wonder the further I walked, the more chills I felt, and the more my hair stood on end."

"You know medicine, but neither of us does. What should we do?"

Chen Huan looked at him and smiled, "What are you afraid of? With me here, I'll keep you both safe and sound."

"Like this, I'll hold your hand..."

Chen Huan reached out, intending to take their hands, one on each side.

Then, remembering that Fatty loved Qiao Lingling, he immediately changed his mind and said, "You two hold hands, Fatty, your hand should stay in touch with mine too."

"No one is allowed to loosen their grip without my order."

"Don't worry, I'll never let go, even if it kills me." The fat man said gleefully, first grasping Qiao Lingling's soft hand, a smug look on his face.

Then he grabbed Chen Huan's hand with his large hand.

"Why are you holding on so tightly? It's like we have something wrong with our orientation. It's disgusting." Chen Huan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Next, he quickly circulated his spiritual energy, sending it into the fat man's body, and then through him, it was passed on to Qiao Lingling.

In this way, you can easily neutralize any toxins in the world and be guaranteed not to be affected in the slightest.

The poisonous area ahead is in a ring shape, completely enclosing all paths leading to the valley.

However, the depth is only about three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

So a moment later, Chen Huan had already shaken off the fat man's hand, "Alright, we've passed the toxic zone, you two don't need to be afraid anymore."

  

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, but still held onto Qiao Lingling's hand tightly.

The latter did not scold the fat man as usual, but instead appeared somewhat docile and obedient.

Seeing the two of them in this state, Chen Huan was genuinely happy for them.

"After this incident, they should be able to completely open up to each other now," Chen Huan muttered to himself.

Then, following the previous plan, they quickly approached the edge of the mountain.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see that there is a bright, radiant light shining in a certain place.

Before that, we passed a medicinal herb field built on the mountainside.

They are mostly expensive, high-end medicinal herbs, and they are growing quite well.

"Are these things valuable?" the fat man asked, licking his lips.

"Even a single one could be worth over ten thousand yuan," Chen Huan casually replied.

"Should we take it with us, or just destroy it?" The fat man pulled out the metal baseball bat he had taken from the car earlier.

Chen Huan thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Let's forget about it. It's rare to find such a place with such abundant spiritual energy, which can cultivate so many high-end medicinal herbs."

"Taking it away would be too cumbersome, while destroying it on the spot would be a waste. Let's go inside and see what happens first."

"Try to select those plants that are extremely valuable individually."

The fat man nodded in agreement, "Brother Huan is right. We shouldn't let small gains cloud our judgment; we should pick what's truly valuable."

Soon, guided by the precious light, Chen Huan arrived at the depths of the valley.

Then they discovered that the source of the radiant light was not some kind of medicinal herb, but a huge stone wall that was one zhang wide and three zhang high.

"This must be some kind of jade mine, all natural. It's such a big piece, no wonder it's full of spiritual energy." Chen Huan stood in front of the huge stone wall and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"You mean this is a natural jade mine, and of high quality?" The fat man walked over and reached out to feel it.

"The quality is very high, it's as tall as a three-story building." Chen Huan licked his lips, feeling a little anxious.

This is such a nice thing, but it's too big; I can't move it myself.

"Those bastards from the Ouyang family really found a treasure land with excellent feng shui."

"No wonder the medicinal herbs outside grow so well; it's because this huge stone wall absorbs a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and slowly releases it outwards."

"No wonder they set up deadly poison arrays outside to prevent others from entering; they're worried that the secret of this place will be discovered."

"Such a large, high-quality stone wall is sure to cause a frenzy among outsiders."

"Even their master, the Ma family, would stop at nothing to seize it," Chen Huan muttered to himself, as if possessed.

The fat man couldn't help but curse, "These bastards have done so many terrible things, how can they still have such good luck?"

"Unfortunately, this thing is too sturdy. Unless you use explosives, you can't destroy it or take it away."

Chen Huan sighed as he reached out and touched it.

The next second, he was surprised to find that the spiritual energy in the stone wall seemed to be drawn by something, and quickly gathered towards his palms and the meridians of his body.

Then the internal energy cultivation technique began to operate wildly, turning his dantian into the center of a small vortex.

Then, using the meridians throughout the body, it amplifies the energy, drawing the spiritual energy from the stone wall into the body more quickly.

"Holy crap, even after reaching the second level of cultivation, he still possesses such abilities?"

"Forcibly plundering the spiritual energy from such a large natural stone wall?" Chen Huan was immediately dumbfounded.

They were so surprised they almost pulled their hands back.

However, at the crucial moment, he forced himself to calm down and carefully considered his current state.

Then, use your cultivation techniques as much as possible to absorb the pure natural spiritual energy within the stone wall more efficiently and safely.

"Chen Huan, what's wrong with him? Something seems off." Qiao Lingling asked with wide eyes and some concern.

Having spent a long time with Chen Huan, Fatty had seen a bit of the world.

He frowned slightly and pulled Qiao Lingling back a few steps. "Don't talk. He can't be disturbed right now."

"As for what they're doing, we'll just have to wait and see."

As Chen Huan absorbed pure spiritual energy, he felt his cultivation level advancing by leaps and bounds, even surpassing the efficiency of most dual cultivation sessions.

This made him ecstatic and extremely excited.

But the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
