The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 182: Shabby and Ready

Alright, another item that is temporarily useless.

Chen An silently shook his head, then solemnly accepted the ancient jade.

No matter what this thing is, it should have great significance to Huang Yuexuan.

Chen An was still prepared, if there was a chance in the future, he would return this thing.

Just hoping that there would be such a day.

This thought flashed through Chen An's mind.

Besides these three items, there were of course some surprises in the other things.

Unfortunately, most of them were just ordinary items. Although some had value, they were far less valuable than the previous three items.

After preparing, if it was convenient, Chen An would bring these things with him. If it was inconvenient, he would leave them in the Bai family.

It was like setting aside some family assets for the Bai Zhiran and the others.

However, the appraisal business in front of him seemed to be able to continue.

Chen An thought so in his heart.

Thinking carefully, now was a good time to scavenge.

The era of change was coming, and the items related to immortals would revive.

Fortunately, Chen An had the support of a big shot like Luo Shan Empress to help identify the items.

Although it was like finding a needle in a haystack, the really good things were definitely very rare, but there were definitely some truly interesting things.

For Chen An now, as long as he found one item, that would be a gain.

Don't look at these things being useless now, because the main world was in the last phase, so they didn't have much value.

But if you go to another realm, the situation would be different again.

As long as it was in a realm with active spiritual energy, these items related to immortals would revive.

Then they would be useful, right?

The plan was a success.

After discussing the plan with Bai Qing and the others, it was not surprising that Bai Qing and Luo Shan Empress were both very interested.

After all, like Chen An, they were now in a poor state.

Bai Qing naturally didn't need to say much, while Luo Shan Empress, on the other hand, may have been very wealthy in the past, but now, after so many years, she had also become a pauper and had to start over just like Bai Qing and the others.

Being poor and having the motivation to strive naturally followed.

So they quickly got to work.

The three of them worked together, with each person having a clear division of labor.

Luo Shan Empress was the behind-the-scenes big shot, responsible for identification, Bai Qing was responsible for the specific execution, going to various places to collect.

As for Chen An, he just quietly cultivated and did nothing, just honestly slacking off.

Well, it was not that he did nothing.

After all, he still had a reputation.

The title of Innate Grandmaster still had some weight today. Not to mention the elders in Bai's family, even in the entire Dalian, many people would give him face.

Even in front of the current emperor, Chen An was someone with face.

He was someone even the current Emperor Dalian would personally welcome.

Even if Chen An did nothing, just relying on this reputation could make Bai Qing's work much easier.

Not to mention, all those guest elders under Chen An's command, one by one, all had to be obedient, eagerly offering various treasures for her.

Sometimes Bai Qing didn't even need to take action personally, and the people around her who wanted to flatter her would automatically bring things to her.

It could be said that it was very thoughtful.

So Bai Qing couldn't help but feel amazed and think that holding onto Chen An's thigh felt really good.

She felt good, and as for Chen An, he felt even more comfortable.

After all, Bai Qing needed to work hard, in order to get her own share.

Chen An was even more comfortable, just cultivating at home, things automatically coming to him.

The three of them had discussed it a long time ago, and once they got the things, they would split them evenly.

Due to the fact that Chen An was currently the strongest, he would take more than the other two, a share of forty percent for himself.

The remaining sixty percent would be split between Bai Qing and Luo Shan Empress.

After a few months, the results were quite fruitful.

Not to mention the various odds and ends, just the so-called spirit stones mentioned by Luo Shan Empress, they had collected hundreds of them.

Even if they split them among the three, each person could get about a hundred.

As for other things, there were even more of them.

The results were quite fruitful.

Chen An was quite satisfied.

According to Luo Shan Empress, the assets they now had would not be considered thin even in her era, and they were considered wealthy.

Of course, this wealth referred to ordinary cultivators.

For someone like Luo Shan Empress, a former big shot, it was a different story.

But at this point, it was almost the limit.

There was no way, the treasures of the immortals in Shangyuan County were limited after all.

Now they had basically been emptied by them.

If they wanted to look for more, they would have to go to other counties.

This kind of thing could have been done at ordinary times.

But now it was impossible.

Because Liang Yao's people had come again.

Shortly after Chen An dealt with Ning Ming that day, Liang Yao had made an agreement with Chen An and then left temporarily.

According to her, she was going to contact other people and then work together to break open the passage to another realm.

But Chen An was deeply suspicious of this.

He had a feeling that Liang Yao was actually going out to make a fortune, and without bringing him along.

As for why she didn't bring him, that was easy to explain.

It was simply because she felt she couldn't control him.

Originally, Chen An was just at the Qi Energy Realm.

This strength was good, but Liang Yao was confident she could suppress it.

But if it was an Innate expert, then Liang Yao would not be foolish enough to bring Chen An along to search for treasures.

Otherwise, when the treasure was found, who would it belong to, her or Chen An?

Liang Yao, the Princess Changping, was very clear about this account.

And now, after a few months, Liang Yao had finally sent someone over.

"Red Dragon Mountain?"

Opening the envelope and looking at the place name written on the letter, Chen An couldn't help but be surprised.

It's not that the place name was particularly special.

On the contrary, this place name was so common that Chen An had to ask someone where it was to know.

"Your Highness has instructed you to arrive within three months at Red Dragon Mountain. I suppose that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Looking at Chen An, Mr. Zhong, who was serving as a messenger this time, had a respectful look on his face as he spoke.

Yes, this time, the messenger who had come was none other than Mr. Zhong, who was by Liang Yao's side.

"Naturally, there shouldn't be a problem."

Chen An nodded, indicating that it wasn't a problem.

Liang Yao had given him three months.

This time frame was quite generous for Chen An.

As an Innate Grandmaster, he already had a fast pace, and with three months' time, he was confident he could arrive even if it was outside the Dalian realm.

The only difference was the time.

"Then I will go back to report first."

Mr. Zhong said respectfully. Before leaving, he reminded Chen An to make sure to arrive on time, not to be late.

In the process of speaking, he even gave Chen An a map, as if afraid that Chen An wouldn't find the place.

This cautious attitude left Chen An speechless.

After all, he was a dignified Innate Grandmaster, could he still get lost?

But just to be on the safe side, he accepted the map and then watched Mr. Zhong leave.

After Mr. Zhong left, Chen An returned to his residence.

At this point, his residence had been completely renewed.

The people inside had mostly been replaced, returning to the original group.

Compared to the flashy people that Bai Qing and the elders had brought to Chen An, this old group may not have had such high looks, but at least they looked pleasing and wouldn't disgust people.

That was the biggest advantage.

Walking into the courtyard, Bai Zhiran was sitting there, seemingly leisurely sunbathing.

Beside her were two maids, one was chatting with Bai Zhiran while the other was fanning her.

Look at this life.

Chen An felt envious just looking at it.

Since becoming pregnant, Bai Zhiran's belly had been growing day by day, and now she was five months pregnant.

Her belly was becoming more and more obvious.

Bai's family up and down were all delighted with her pregnancy.

After all, Bai's family's situation was precarious, and they were basically relying on Chen An alone.

If Chen An ever had any bad thoughts and felt that the Bai family was too much of a bother, wanting to wipe them out, then it would be a disaster.

So at this time, Bai Zhiran's pregnancy was the best news.

For the sake of Bai Zhiran and her child, Chen An should at least be friendly with Bai's family, right?

That was their mindset.

Chen An knew all this very well, but he didn't say anything.

As for Bai Zhiran, she was originally a very lively person, always wanting to go out and play during her free time. Even after getting married, she still wanted to go out hunting regularly.

But now the conditions didn't allow it.

With a child in her belly, she couldn't go hunting now, and even walking a few extra steps would be difficult.

So she had to stay at home and couldn't think about anything else.

"I'm back."

Hearing footsteps in the distance, Bai Zhiran turned and beckoned Chen An to come and sit down.

The two maids next to her quietly walked away.

Chen An took the fan and continued blowing, taking a breath of air.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Looking at Chen An, Bai Zhiran asked curiously, "Did you not have any gains today?"

Chen An and Bai Qing and the others had recently made a lot of noise collecting immortal items, so much so that Bai Zhiran knew what Chen An had been busy with recently.

So when Chen An came back a bit early today, she immediately asked.

"I basically didn't gain much."

Chen An said helplessly, "All the good things have been pillaged."

"That's just how it is."

Bai Zhiran smiled, "With your looting skills, no matter how many things there are, they'll all be stripped clean. How can it last so long?"

"Wife is right."

Chen An nodded in agreement.

They chatted for a while in the quiet courtyard.

It was not until a moment later that Chen An suddenly said, "I'm leaving."

The place fell silent immediately.

Bai Zhiran remained silent for a moment before looking at Chen An, "Have you confirmed the time?"

Chen An's plan had not been kept from her, including the deal with Liang Yao, which Chen An had also mentioned.

So Bai Zhiran naturally understood what Chen An was referring to.

"Yes, after three months, at Red Dragon Mountain."

Chen An nodded, "But for now, I won't be leaving so quickly. It should be about two weeks before I set off."

"Alright."

Bai Zhiran smiled, "Go ahead."

"Such an opportunity doesn't come by often, and it would be a shame to miss it."

This realm was currently in the end times, with cultivators extinct, and even martial practitioners could only cultivate to the Innate Realm at most.

In other words, Chen An had already reached the peak, and no matter how hard he worked in the future, he could only revolve in the Innate Realm, never going higher.

For a talent like Chen An, this was a bit cruel.

Bai Zhiran was also a martial artist herself, so she understood what that felt like.

So she also supported Chen An's choice.

"I don't think there should be a problem with this expedition."

Chen An said seriously, "If everything goes smoothly, when the passage is opened, I will come to pick you up."

"Alright."

Bai Zhiran nodded, her expression equally serious, "I'll be waiting for you."

The two of them smiled at each other, their expressions seemingly more relaxed.

"I left something in the study for you and the child."

Chen An casually said, "If I don't return this time, you and the child should secretly hide them and not reveal them."

What he had left behind were not other things but his own inheritance, including the full set of Profound Ice Strength and many other associated inheritances.

Chen An had learned so much, especially during his time in the Great Hua world, that he had collected several Innate-level martial arts.

The Profound Ice Strength was just one of them.

Now they were all left behind by him.

Bluntly speaking, the inheritances he left in his study might not amount to much in terms of quantity, but in quality, they could surpass the martial arsenal of ninety-nine percent of the aristocratic families in the world.

These were all prepared for Bai Zhiran and the future child.

It was still the same principle, to consider possible failures before success.

If he hadn't prepared in advance, if things happened in an accident, then it would be too late to regret.

If he really got to that point, patted his butt, burped, and left, what would Bai Zhiran and the future child do?

So it was necessary to prepare in advance.

"I have informed the family head about this as well."

Chen An continued, repeating the matter with Bai Chi.

Knowing Bai Chi's situation, Bai Zhiran was also surprised, "Uncle Zhan is also going to break through to the Innate Realm?"

"That's right."

Chen An nodded, affirming Bai Chi's talent, "He was just one step away from the Innate Realm, and with my help, it's just a matter of course for him to take that step."

"With his protection, no matter what happens in the future, you can always be stable."

He said quietly, already having considered everything.

As it looked like he was preparing for his afterlife.

"Regardless of what happens, I want you to come back safely."

Bai Zhiran's face gradually turned serious, "You should be present as a father when the child is born, right?"

"I understand."

Chen An nodded, smiling softly.
