Chapter 169: Difficult Fox Demon

It was the next morning.
In the hall, the family of seven sat down for breakfast.
While everyone was present, Chen An said to his wives,
“Last night, I received news from the Heaven Earth Sect.”
“The Heaven Earth Sect said that there will be a test in the Alchemy Hall in half a year’s time. At that time, they wanted me to go over and participate.”
“If I pass the test, I can join the Heaven Earth Sect directly and become a member of the Alchemy Hall.”
After hearing Chen An’s words, Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and Wen Zhiyun all felt a strong sense of deja vu.
It was a very familiar deja vu.
He had to participate in the assessment to join.
Wasn’t this the same process as when he wanted to join the Treasure Pavilion in the Bamboo Leaf Forest?
At the thought of this, Wen Zhiyun couldn’t help but be a little worried. “Husband, is there a trap?”
“1 don’t think so.”
Chen An expressed his opinion. “The Heaven Earth Sect is a large sect.
Moreover, this test sounds like a large-scale test for many people. It’s not a private test. There shouldn’t be any traps.”
“That’s good.”
Wen Zhiyun was slightly relieved. Back in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, the entire family had been traumatized by the Treasure Pavilion.
At that time, the Bamboo Leaf Forest was in chaos. The entire family hoped to join the Treasure Pavilion to seek refuge.
Unexpectedly, he was tricked.
Fortunately, Chen An’s cultivation level had already increased at that time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that time, Shen Qingyi was still an outsider, so she didn’t understand why they were worried about this.
The Heaven Earth Sect was a large sect. How could the test that they had arranged be a scam?
Chen An saw the confusion on Shen Qingyi’s face and gave her a rough explanation.
However, after Shen Qingyi heard this, her blood pressure immediately rose.
She slammed the dining table with a bang and said angrily,
“He used his power for personal gain. That Deacon Li of the Treasure Pavilion really deserves to die!”
Everyone else at the table was shocked by her sudden action of slamming the table.
Especially the two young daughters.
They were so frightened that their bodies twitched.
Among them, the young Chen Yi Ke almost opened her mouth to cry.
Fortunately, Wen Zhiyun, who was at the side, was quick-witted. She picked up the spoon in time and stuffed a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, interrupting the cries.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyi realized that she had been too excited just now.
She calmed herself down and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, everyone. I was too agitated just now.”
“It’s alright. Just be more careful in the future.” Chen An smiled and said.
Shen Qingyi tried her best to control her emotions and said unhappily, “That
Deacon Li of the Treasure Pavilion is too inhumane. When I have the chance to return to the Great Thousand Domain one day, I’ll kill him personally.”
Song Huaying smiled and said, “Sister Shen, you might not have a chance then.”
“How so?”
Shen Qingyi didn’t quite understand.
Song Huaying explained with a smile, “Manager Li of the Treasure Pavilion was killed by Husband that day.”
“That’s good.”
When Shen Qingyi heard this news, she felt a sense of comfort.
Chen An noticed this and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This heroine concubine really followed the principle of punishing evil from the beginning to the end. She could not tolerate any evil people.
Hopefully, when she moved to the Heaven Earth Sect in the future, she would be able to restrain herself. Otherwise, it would be too easy for her to offend others.
That’s not right!
The Heaven Earth Sect was such a huge sect. There must definitely be a department like the Law Enforcement Hall within it.
At that time, he might be able to think of a way to let the heroine concubine join the Law Enforcement Hall.
That way, not only could he satisfy her obsessive-compulsive disorder of punishing evil, but he could also pull strings for his family like he had done in his previous life.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Chen An said to his wives,
“This test of the Heaven Earth Sect’s Alchemy Hall might be a little difficult. There might be a requirement on how many Level 3 medicinal pills 1 know how to refine.”
“Therefore, after breakfast later, 1 have to go out to the market and see if I can buy some Level 3 medicinal pill formulas to learn.”
When his wives heard this, they all said that they understood. They told Chen An to be careful when he went out. If he had something to do and came back late, remember to inform them through a voice transmission talisman.
As the few of them chatted, after breakfast, her second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, clumsily climbed down from the chair.
She stopped in front of her father and skillfully reached out to hug one of his legs. She raised her little face slightly and looked at her father, asking him to play seesaw with her.
However, Chen An was engrossed in chatting with his wives and accidentally ignored his second daughter.
The second daughter waited for a long time. Seeing that her father did not pay attention to her, she could not help but feel a little anxious.
In his hurry, she suddenly roared at the top of her lungs,
“Father!!!”
“I want to play see-saw!!!”
“Playing seesaw!!!”
Her second daughter shouted so loudly that everyone in the hall’s eardrums buzzed.
What’s this?
Little Yi Ke had learned how to speak?
Everyone was a little stunned. They still could not react.
Until Chen Yi Ke continued to shout at the top of her lungs a few more times, “I want to play see-saw.”
Only then did everyone wake up from a dream and realize that the young Chen Yi Ke had really learned to speak.
It just sounded a little inarticulate and the pronunciation was not very accurate.
“Little Yi Ke, you actually learned how to speak!”
“What a good child!”
“I’ve wronged you in the past. Actually, you’re not stupid at all. You’re a very smart child!”
When Wen Zhiyun regained her senses, she was extremely excited. She hugged her silly daughter and rubbed and kissed her. She looked very happy.
Her previous daughter could not make any other sound other than crying, giggling, and grunting. At one point, she thought that her daughter might be a little stupid.
Now, she had learned how to speak before she was even a year old. Moreover, she could string a complete sentence.
The speed at which she learned to speak was even better than her sister, Chen Yuejian.
Her daughter, Yi Ke, is talented in both martial arts and martial arts!
The more Wen Zhiyun thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn’t stop smiling.
When the other three wives saw that Chen Yi Ke had actually learned to speak for no reason, they leaned over to tease her with curiosity and interest.
They asked her to greet them Father, Mother, Mother Shen, Mother Gu, Mother Song, and Big Sister.
However, the young Chen Yi Ke ignored them. She kept looking at her father, Chen An, and shouted,
“Father!!!”
“Iwant a seesaw!!!”
“Iwant to play!!!”
Her voice was very loud.
If not for the soundproof array in the tunnel, this sound would probably have traveled a thousand meters.
It could only be said that she was indeed a genius who was born with off-the-charts Vitality.
There was no need to talk about talent.
Unfortunately, all of Chen An’s attention was attracted by the notification in front of him. He automatically blocked his second daughter’s shout.
[Your daughter, Chen Yi Ke, has learned how to speak. You are rewarded with the ultimate technique, ‘Evil Dragon Roar’.]
[Evil Dragon Roar: This technique is an advanced version of the ‘Roar of the Lion’. When used, it can use sound waves to attack the target’s soul. It’s a psychic attack technique that’s difficult to dodge.]
[Evil Dragon Roar: Entry 1%]
“If I remember correctly, this seems to be my first psychic attack technique?”
Thinking of this, Chen An was a little excited.
Now, not only was his alchemy attainments deep, but not only was his cultivation realm high, but he had also mastered more and more techniques.
His originally ordinary strength was about to increase to the level of invincibility among his peers.
If he was facing a weaker mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, he even felt that he could kill enemies above his level.
“Father, I want to play seesaw!!!”
Chen Yi Ke had broken free from her mother’s arms at some point in time. She walked to her father again and hugged his thigh as she shouted.
This time, Chen An came back to his senses.
He smiled and picked up his second daughter. He crossed his legs and placed her on the back of his feet. Then, he moved up and down to let her play with the seesaw as she wished.
[You played seesaw with your daughter, Chen Yi Ke. Father-daughter Relationship +1.]
“What a silly girl.”
Chen An lowered his head and looked at his second daughter, who was sitting on the back of his foot. His face was filled with the kind smile of an old father.
An hour later, the dining table was cleaned up.
His four wives, as well as his eldest daughter, were all teasing Chen Yi Ke, who had just learned how to speak.
They were having a lot of fun.
Chen An informed them that he was going to go to Willow Street to buy formulas for Level 3 medicinal pills.
However, everyone was engrossed in teasing Chen Yi Ke and didn’t have the time to pay attention to him at all.
She said perfunctorily, “Yes, yes, 1 understand.” She told him to go and come back quickly and then ignored him.
Chen An was a little disappointed.
With a daughter/sister who could talk, she forgot about her husband/father. This was too much.
He shook his head and sighed.
Chen An quickly left the tunnel and flew on his sword to the Qin Trading Company on Willow Street.
After half an hour.
Wen Liu Street, at the Qin Trading Company.
Chen An landed on his sword and was surprised to find that the originally high-end and grand Qin Trading Company had become extremely tattered.
At a glance, other than the rubble and broken wooden beams on the ground and some dried blood, there was nothing else inside.
No one.
There was no dazzling lineup of goods.
There was nothing. It was very empty.
Chen An did not understand what was going on.
He was very curious. He walked to the shop opposite that specialized in selling spirit cakes and told the boss a few boxes of spirit cakes. Then, he asked the boss what was going on with the Qin Trading Company.
Then, he found out that the Qin family had a conflict with the Xu Kun Gang.
That day, the people from the Xu Kun Gang came to ask Liu Street about the trouble caused by the Qin family’s trading company. In the end, everyone died.
After the people from the Xu Kun Gang received the news, they immediately sent people over to destroy this Qin Trading Company.
Not only that, but they also exterminated the entire Qin family.
From that day onwards, the Qin family, a Golden Core family, had completely become a piece of history in Redwood Forest.
Chen An sighed when he heard this.
Then, he flew away on his sword and went to other markets to find the pill formula to buy Level 3 medicinal pills.
Fifteen minutes later.
In a market more than twenty miles away, Chen An found a trading company that was not inferior to the Qin family’s trading company. In fact, it was even larger.
This was a trading company opened by a local Golden Core family.
It was opened by the Ye family and was called the Ye Trading Company.
Chen An had visited many trading companies in the past. Now, there was nothing new about trading companies.
Therefore, when he entered now, he got straight to the point that he wanted to buy the pill formula for a Level 3 medicinal pill. He asked the shopkeeper inside to introduce any they may have available.
After a simple understanding of which Level 3 medicinal pill formulas and the corresponding price,
Chen An did not beat around the bush and started bargaining.
When he couldn’t lower the price anymore, he ran to the other markets to compare the goods.
Then, he chose the most affordable trading company, the Lu Clan Trading Company, and bought five Level 3 medicinal pill formulas from this trading company.
He spent a total of too high-grade spirit stones.
When he bought it, Chen An did not have enough money.
He had sold a lot of things in his storage bag to barely gather too high-grade spirit stones.
His heart ached.
However, when he thought about joining the Heaven Earth Sect in half a year’s time…
No matter how much he spent, it was worth it.
After buying the pill formula, Chen An did not stay any longer. Soon, he flew home on his sword.
When they passed by Willow Street and flew to the forest more than 30 miles
away,
A thousand meters in the sky.
Suddenly, a barrier appeared with a buzz. It directly blocked the way to fly.
Chen An frowned and immediately spread out his divine consciousness, enveloping the area within a few kilometers in his perception range.
However, he did not find anything.
What was going on?
Just as Chen An was feeling puzzled, in the distant sky, a bird demon suddenly flew over. A very familiar figure stood on it.
Chen An took a closer look.. It was the woman in the purple dress, the fox demon!
