"Speak up, who is your boss."

Chen Daoxuan didn't want to waste any words with these people.

"We won't tell you."

These people were quite stubborn.

"Kill them."

Chen Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all.

"Wait, I'm willing to talk!"

One of them suddenly shouted.

But Chen Daoxuan completely ignored him and turned to leave.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Soon, several screams were heard, and all of these guys were decapitated, their bodies cleaned up.

It was already late at night, and even though this city was bustling, it had become much quieter. Such loud screams would definitely attract attention, and the powerful individuals stationed in the city would surely take notice.

After all,

This was a formidable aura that could rival that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

He was already a master who could dominate a region.

Even among the ancient sects and clans where experts were abundant, Nascent Soul cultivators were not as common as cabbage on the roadside.

But after a long time, no one came.

This was the naked rule of this world.

The apparent safety and glory could never conceal the hidden undercurrents.

To be able to purchase such a grand mansion, the identity and status of the owner were definitely not simple.

What happened within the courtyard,

No matter how dark it was, it was just a secret within the courtyard, unrelated to outsiders.

"Are you alright?"

Tang Youran came out from the inner pavilion wearing her nightgown.

"Don't worry, Youran, it's just a few small thieves."

The reason why Chen Daoxuan released his aura earlier was to deter those with malicious intentions.

Although Chen Daoxuan wasn't afraid at all,

But these guys were like a group of flies, constantly watching.

It was really annoying.

"Master."

Just then, a servant walked in respectfully.

The aura Chen Daoxuan had just released frightened these newly arrived servants.

They had been speculating all along.

Even if Chen Daoxuan was strong, he was only at the Foundation Building stage, and he must be very wealthy.

But,

The aura Chen Daoxuan displayed today completely convinced them.

It should be noted that in their previous sect,

The strongest was only at the early Gold Core stage.

Far from matching Chen Daoxuan's strength!

Being able to work for Chen Daoxuan was already considered an honor in their hearts!

If Chen Daoxuan had gained a bit of trust from them before with money and a gentle approach, they were now completely convinced.

"These are the items we collected from the bodies of those four thieves. The bodies have already been buried by us."

The servant kept his head lowered, not daring to meet Tang Youran's gaze, showing utmost respect.

Chen Daoxuan glanced over.

Nodding inwardly.

That's good.

These guys didn't secretly keep anything for themselves, they all brought them out.

"What's your name?"

Chen Daoxuan asked softly.

"My name is Sun Dehai."

Sun Dehai answered respectfully.

"You did well. From today onwards, you will be responsible for guarding the courtyard, and there will be a continuous influx of people joining in the future."

"You must lead them well and ensure the safety of this courtyard."

"Of course, with your current Qi Refining Rank Two cultivation level, it is still far from enough."

"Take this. It is enough for you to reach the Foundation Building Stage!"

Chen Daoxuan lightly tossed his hand.

A cloth pouch appeared.

Inside were a manual and some spirit stones and pills.

In reality, when a person's strength is strong enough and they have enough resources at their disposal, they can find that even low-level cultivators can be mass-produced with enough resources, allowing them to enhance their strength.

However, very few people would do so.

It's like raising pigs on a farm.

Feeding the same food to pigs will make them fat and plump, and they can be sold at a good price during the New Year.

But if you feed the same thing to mice, there will be no profit, just a waste of food.

For example, a cultivator at the Gold Core stage.

Foundation Building Stage poses no threat to them, so it would be a waste to use a large amount of resources to cultivate someone at the Foundation Building Stage.

It would be better to do something that benefits oneself.

And those major sects and clans would not invest a lot of energy in low-level cultivators. Those with outstanding talent can easily break through to the Foundation Building Stage.

If they can't even reach the Foundation Building Stage, it means their aptitude is poor or their perseverance is lacking.

There is no need to invest.

It is most important to allocate all resources to cultivate high-level cultivators!

"Thank you, Master!"

Sun Dehai trembled with excitement as he held the items in his hands. Although he didn't open and examine them, just based on their weight and Chen Daoxuan's identity and status, it was clear that these were not ordinary things.

These were cultivation resources that he could never obtain within the sect.

Even the elders in the sect couldn't get such good cultivation resources.

The reason why Chen Daoxuan valued him was not only because this guy had no greed, but also because he had one of the best spiritual roots among everyone.

There was a high probability that he could break through to the Foundation Building Stage.

"Practice well. The Chen family does not keep useless people."

"Understood."

Sun Dehai quickly left.

Chen Daoxuan casually glanced at the items.

These guys' things were quite shabby.

The items were not particularly precious.

"Hmm?"

Just as Chen Daoxuan was about to put away the items, he suddenly paused. He took out a piece of torn cloth from a package. This piece of cloth was square-shaped, about twenty centimeters on each side, and had a very peculiar texture. It felt smooth and extremely cold when held in the hand.

"What is this?"

Tang Youran also curiously approached. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a map.

However, this map was not detailed, only showing a few simple lines, and there were obvious signs of trimming on two sides, indicating that it was a small part of a certain map.

Could this be a treasure map?

"No way."

Chen Daoxuan furrowed his brow and rubbed his nose.

To randomly defeat a few small fries and find a precious treasure map on them, how could this happen to him?

"Never mind, let's put it away for now."

Chen Daoxuan put away the items. "Youran, don't go out for the next few days."

"I understand."

Tang Youran nodded.

The material of this thing was extremely special, exuding an ancient aura. It was definitely not an ordinary item, resembling a map. Of course, this was only Chen Daoxuan and Tang Youran's preliminary judgment.

They were unaware of the true value of this item and whether many people knew about it.

If this item was very precious, the higher-ups would also know about its existence.

Then there would definitely be trouble.

It would be relatively safe to stay in the courtyard, but it would be uncertain outside.
