Chen Fan left the Awakened Association and walked towards the villa.

Compared to the last time he came, the security personnel at the entrances and exits of the community had increased several times, and some of them were Martial Artists at the Meridian Cultivation Realm.

He took out his access card and walked in nonchalantly.

There were visibly more people inside the community as well.

Perhaps because he looked unfamiliar, many people stopped to scrutinize him.

Chen Fan didn't mind and walked to the villa he had purchased. Just as he was about to open the door and go inside, a middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind.

"Excuse me, my friend, may I take a moment of your time?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, his tone very gentle.

A few people stood behind him as well.

"What's up?"

Chen Fan turned around and looked at them expressionlessly.

"My friend, we mean no harm," the middle-aged man quickly explained. "We all live nearby. We thought this house hadn't been sold yet, but after asking around, we found out it had been sold a while ago. The owner just hadn't been around. You're the owner of this house, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded. "Is there anything else?"

The few people behind him exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that this guy sure was acting high and mighty. Who was he?

"It's nothing major. Mainly, we finally met you, so we wanted to introduce ourselves," the middle-aged man said cheerfully, showing no offense. "With the Beast Tide breaking out, more and more people are coming into the city. Many places are becoming chaotic. Living in the same community, we might as well look out for each other in the future if anything happens."

"Got it."

Chen Fan said and then opened the door, walked in, and closed it behind him.

"Brother Zhao Da, that guy has quite the temper." Someone complained. "You are a True Essence Realm Martial Artist, yet he dares to talk to you like that."

"Exactly, his eyes are practically on his forehead."

"Alright."

The middle-aged man signaled them to stop, saying, "Maybe he has important things to do and we bothered him by coming here. Alright, let's go back."

He mainly came this time to see who exactly lived here.

Now that the situation in the city was growing more chaotic, he had heard that many vacant houses had been taken over by some ill-intentioned people.

Of course, the defense forces of those communities couldn't compare to Zijin Garden; the housing prices differed by almost ten times.

Before leaving, he turned to look one more time, then turned and left.

Even though the people outside tried to control their voices, Chen Fan still heard every word they said.

He shrugged his shoulders and opened his Spatial Ring, taking out thirteen boxes he had bought from the association.

Even the cheapest of these boxes required 300,000 points to purchase, while the most expensive cost 1.2 million points.

"It's a pity that these points, if used to buy cultivation techniques, could improve my completion time by several days."

He sighed inwardly.

However, time was of the essence. Even if he bought cultivation techniques, it would be impossible to complete them in just two days.

Next, he picked up the box on the left and opened it. A strong aroma immediately filled the air.

Inside the box lay a palm-sized, oval fruit with a golden exterior, resembling a pear.

But it wasn't a pear.

It was called the Golden Flower Fruit.

Chen Fan took a bite, and a burst of sweetness filled his mouth.

In a few bites, he finished the whole fruit and then looked at his interface.

His Primordial True Essence increased by nearly 200 points.

Indeed, the Golden Flower Fruit, worth 300,000 points, only increased it by this much. Similar treasure medicines he had found before also had about the same effect.

When considering it carefully, it made sense.

A long time ago, he spent 20,000 points in the Awakened Association's store to buy a Cloud Jade Fruit.

This fruit could slightly increase the Martial Artist's Source True Qi. After eating one, it increased his Source True Qi by 1,000 points, which, by the ratio of True Essence to True Qi, translated to 10 points of Primordial True Essence.

The Golden Flower Fruit he just ate, costing 300,000 points, was 15 times the price of the Cloud Jade Fruit. In theory, it should increase his Primordial True Essence by around 150 points. In practice, it increased it by 200 points, an extra 50 points, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Unfortunately, the next few Golden Flower Fruits won't have as much of an effect."

Chen Fan smiled wryly and opened the second box, quickly finishing the second Golden Flower Fruit.

As expected, the second Golden Flower Fruit only increased his Primordial True Essence by 180 points, 90% of the first's effect.

He was already prepared and took out the third, then the fourth.

From the fifth box, this time, there was a long fruit, about the length of a hand, as thick as two fingers, with a light green skin.

Chen Fan couldn't help but think of cucumbers... Could it be a mutated cucumber?

He took a bite. It was crispy and slightly sweet, making it addictive to eat.

"Not bad."

Chen Fan murmured to himself after finishing it.

This one wasn't cheap either, costing 400,000 points.

He looked at his interface,

this time, his Primordial True Qi increased by nearly 300 points.

The cost-effectiveness was higher than the previous Golden Flower Fruits.
