Chen An rode his sword and brought Wen Zhiyun to the entrance of the Alchemy Hall. The couple walked into the public alchemy room side by side.
As it was getting late, the public alchemy room was filled with apprentice Alchemists.
This was because the deacons in the Alchemy Hall usually only had time to teach in the morning. Apprentices who wanted to learn alchemy techniques had to come early.
At the very least, they had to be earlier than the deacon. Otherwise, the deacon would not take these apprentices under their wing, and refuse to teach them alchemy techniques.
“Husband, there’s an empty seat there. Let’s go over there.”
“Yeah, okay.”
The couple conversed briefly before walking towards an empty pill furnace in the corner.
On the way over, Wen Zhiyun’s beauty attracted the attention of many male Alchemists.
This was the first time Wen Zhiyun had revealed her true appearance in the alchemy hall. In the past, because she was worried that she would become her husband’s femme fatale, she only dared to go out after disguising herself and covering up her beauty.
And now, because she knew that her husband’s strength was so powerful that he could even defeat the Sect Master, she dared to reveal her devastatingly beautiful face in front of outsiders. She did not have to worry about being harassed by some high-ranking profligate disciples.
“Husband, many people are stealing glances at me. It’s quite uncomfortable.”
Sensing the lewd gazes of the male Alchemists around her, Wen Zhiyun sent a voice transmission to Chen An in distress.
Chen An said telepathically, “It’s fine. The Daoist robe you’re wearing has already covered your figure tightly. If they want to look, let them look until their heart’s content. Anyway, they won’t be able to see anything.”
“No, I feel very uncomfortable being stared at. I won’t be able to calm down and refine pills. Help me resolve it quickly.”
“Alright.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An used the ‘Through the Looking Glass’ technique to turn Wen Zhiyun into an ugly woman in the eyes of others. Instantly, he eliminated the lewd gazes on her.
Wen Zhiyun was very surprised. She asked curiously via voice transmission, “Husband, how did you do it?”
“It’s very simple. I just cast an illusion on them and made you an ugly woman in their eyes.”
H H
Wen Zhiyun fell silent.
She, who had been beautiful since she was young, did not want to become an ugly woman in the eyes of others. She wanted to say that her husband’s way of handling things was not good.
However, on second thought, her husband had indeed saved her from trouble, so she could not say anything.
He came to the empty pill furnace in the corner and sat down.
Chen An began to teach Wen Zhiyun alchemy techniques.
This lesson lasted for more than an hour.
Seeing that Wen Zhiyun had almost mastered it, he asked her to stay here and practice to increase her proficiency.
As for himself, he stood up and walked towards the library to check the newly stocked alchemy books.
He arrived at the library.
Chen An saw many disciples of the Alchemy Hall flipping through their new books.
Seeing him enter, many disciples respectfully greeted Deacon Chen.
In the past, most of the disciples in the Alchemy Hall did not know him.
However, ever since Ning Xian’er publicly announced that he was the one who had developed the antidote for water poisoning, his reputation in the Alchemy Hall had soared, second only to the Alchemy Hall elder, Li Qingming.
And now, he had already killed the Elder of the Alchemy Hall. Naturally, he became the most famous Alchemist in the Alchemy Hall.
Even if he was ranked in the entire sect, his reputation would still reverberate like thunder as the idol of countless disciples of the Heaven Earth Sect.
“Deacon Chen, I, I, I just joined the Alchemy Hall last year. 1 don’t have a master yet. I want to be your apprentice. Is that okay?”
A beautiful female disciple mustered her courage and stopped in front of Chen An. She was so nervous that she stammered.
Chen An refused without even thinking. “I’m really sorry. I’m already leading a disciple now. 1 can’t find time to lead a second disciple. You should ask the other deacons.”
The female disciple felt very uncomfortable being rejected. She only said, “Sorry to disturb you, Deacon Chen.” She turned around and left the embarrassing library quickly.
Chen An shook his head and walked towards the new book section. He silently flipped through the alchemy books there.
During this period, many disciples came to disturb him.
Most of them came to talk to him and wanted to show their faces in front of him.
A small number of them came to request for him to take them in as their master, but they were all rejected by him with the same reason as when he rejected the female disciple previously.
There were also a very small number of female disciples who relied on their outstanding looks and unparalleled charm to specially come and flirt with him, who had a high position and power. They wanted to become the deacon’s wife and achieve a class transition.
Unfortunately, Chen An already had enough beautiful wives at home, and all of them were as beautiful as fairies. This made him look down on ordinary women who were just a little beautiful.
To put it bluntly, in a sect like the Heaven Earth Sect, only the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden could pique his interest.
Two hours later.
Chen An finished reading all the new alchemy books.
Unfortunately, he did not find a pill that could treat infertility.
Shaking his head in disappointment, he returned to the public alchemy room.
When he was about to reach the door of the public alchemy room, he bumped into Liu Shuiyu, who was coming out.
“Alchemist Chen, long time no see!”
Seeing Chen An, who she had not seen for a long time, Liu Shuiyu’s face was filled with excitement.
However, Chen An did not feel anything at all. He only wanted to stay away from her.
He had already cut off all ties with the other party’s sister, Liu Huoyu. There was no need to contact her as an elder sister.
Liu Shuiyu knew this very well, but she did not care about it at all. She only wanted to get close to Chen An and please him, hoping to get the Divine Beautifying Pill from him.
Seeing that Chen An only nodded politely in response, Liu Shuiyu continued to talk. “Deacon Chen, I heard that the candidate for our Alchemy Hall’s elder has been confirmed. It’s Deacon Nie. Is that true?”
“I’m not too sure about that.”
Chen An shook his head and told the truth.
The information he knew so far was that the three elders had already been confirmed to have died. The competition for the three empty positions of the Hall Elders is heating up.
Among them, the position of an Elder of the Alchemy Hall was targeted by the Sect Master and the Nine Elders at the same time.
After a series of struggles between the two sides, the selection of the Alchemy Hall elder finally fell into the hands of Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.
And the Deacon Nie that Liu Shuiyu mentioned just now was a deacon of the Alchemy Hall under Sect Master Xiao Qingyue’s camp.
“Deacon Liu, I still have something on, so 1 won’t talk about it for now. Let’s talk next time.”
Chen An casually found an excuse to leave. He didn’t want to talk to Liu Shuiyu anymore, lest Wen Zhiyun misunderstood.
Just as he returned and sat down in front of Wen Zhiyun, a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Your daughter, Chen Jiuli, has learned how to speak. Reward: 99 years of Cultivation.]
[Name: Chen An]
[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Level 5]
“Happiness comes so suddenly?”
Chen An found it unbelievable at first, but then he was overjoyed. He immediately formed an absolute domain in the depths of his mind and began the simulation trial.
About an hour later.
The duel between him, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder had finally ended.
In the end, as expected, he fought to a draw with the Second and Third Elders and only lost to the Great Elder in one move.
“Alright, alright. At this rate of cultivation progression, 1 reckon that I’ll be invincible against the Heaven Earth Sect in less than half a year.”
“After all, we now have a tender divine artifact like our third daughter. 1 really hope that this day will come soon…”
Chen An thought expectantly..
