‘Body Tempering Art’ to strengthen one’s body.
‘Meditation Art* to calm one’s mind.
And ‘Life Nourishment Art’ that could extend one’s lifespan.
No matter how one looked at it, these three cultivation techniques were very suitable for his wife to cultivate.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a perfect match.
Thus, Chen An asked, “Shopkeeper Liu, do these three cultivation techniques have a cultivation threshold?”
Although it was a cultivation technique cultivated by mortals, there was a saying that the physiques of humans could not be generalized. Similarly, the physiques of mortals could not be generalized.
Therefore, he had to ask if there was a cultivation threshold for these three cultivation techniques. Otherwise, his wife would not be able to cultivate them after buying them and would be a waste of money.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, don’t worry. There’s no threshold to cultivate these three mortal cultivation techniques.”
“Whether it’s a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, anyone can cultivate.”
“It’s even a little exaggerated. You can just find a dog on the street. As long as this dog can understand the words on it, the dog can cultivate too.”
In order to dispel Chen An’s worries and let him buy these three mortal cultivation techniques, Shopkeeper Liu became more and more exaggerated as he spoke.
Chen An said with a smile, “Shopkeeper Liu, you make it sound so nice. What if the goods don’t match after buying them?”
“If the goods are not suitable, just take them back and return them.”
After saying that, Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “I wonder which book
Alchemist Chen has taken a fancy to, or do you want them all?”
“I want all three books. Give me a discount and pack them up for 50 low-grade spirit stones. How about that?”
“Well…”
Shopkeeper Liu looked troubled. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed. “Alright, on account of Alchemist Chen’s frequent supply of medicinal pills, 50 low-grade spirit stones it is.”
He paid with one hand and delivered with the other.
After buying these three mortal cultivation techniques, Chen An did not stay any longer. He walked out of the Treasure Hall with the cultivation techniques he had bought earlier.
He had just taken two steps when he encountered the Foundation Establishment female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect walking towards his direction.
The other party was dressed in the same style as the other day. She was dressed in black and had a high ponytail.
The only difference was that the green sheathed sword was not on her waist, but in her hand.
There were some fresh bloodstains on the blade. Was she back from killing someone?
Chen An thought to himself and quickly brushed past the other party.
In an instant, an intoxicating fragrance surged into his nose and made him feel relaxed.
It was not the fragrance of flowers, nor was it a sachet. It was more like an innate fragrance.
After pulling away a little, Chen An could not help but turn around and look at the back of the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect.
His gaze involuntarily landed on the other party’s taut and perky semicircle.
His heart was filled with the word ‘beautiful woman’.
“After I become a second-grade Alchemist and join the Treasure Pavilion, and my cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, I’ll see if I have a chance to interact with this female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect.”
Chen An had this thought.
In Green Willow Alley, in front of his house.
Chen An had four cultivation techniques stuffed in his arms and a wooden box in each hand. He gently jumped into the courtyard and slowly walked into the house.
Of the two boxes in his hand, one contained three pieces of jewelry, and the other contained pastries and sweet fruits. They were gifts he had specially bought for his wives and daughter on the way back from the market.
Taking a trip out and bringing some gifts back would help improve the relationship between the father and daughter.
“Father!”
The daughter, who was squatting in front of the house and watching the ants, immediately stood up and jogged over when she saw her father return.
Chen An stacked the two boxes together and picked up his daughter with his free hand. He skillfully rubbed his stubble against her face, making her giggle non-stop.
“Husband, let me help you carry the box.”
Just now, she had been taking care of her daughter, Song Huaying, and walked over with a virtuous smile.
Chen An handed the box to her and pulled her into his arms with his free hand. He was as happy as he could be.
“Husband, what’s inside?”
Song Huaying looked at the box in her hand. Her rouge-covered face was filled with curiosity.
Chen An smiled mysteriously and said, “I won’t tell you yet. I’ll give you a surprise when we eat.”
“Husband, Ying’er wants to know now.”
Song Huaying pouted her red lips slightly and said coquettishly, relying on her petite and charming appearance.
His daughter, Chen Yuejian, imitated him and said coquettishly, “Father, I want to know too.”
“It’s useless to whine about it. Let’s just wait till after dinner.”
Chen An looked at his wife and daughter and smiled.
Soon, the three of them walked into the house and went all the way to the hall.
Gu Xinyue was serving dishes at the dining table. When she saw Chen An return, she sensibly pulled out a chair for him and smiled. “Husband, please sit.”
“Yue’er is so obedient.”
As Chen An spoke, he went forward and kissed Gu Xinyue.
[Relationship+1]
“Husband, I want one too.”
Song Huaying pursed her lips and said coquettishly. Chen An smiled and kissed his wife.
“Father, I want one too!”
Her daughter, Chen Yuejian, pursed her lips like her mother and blinked her big eyes exquisitely.
Chen An fulfilled his daughter’s request and kissed her little face with a smile.
At this moment, Wen Zhiyun, who was cultivating in the room, came out.
Chen An saw her and hooked his finger at her.
“Yun’er, come. To love one is to love all. Come over and let me kiss you.”
“Look at you.”
Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes charmingly and said unhappily, but her body was very honest. She walked in front of Chen An and let him kiss her.
Not long after, the dishes were all served. The family of five sat down to eat.
After eating and resting, Chen An picked up the two boxes and opened them in front of his wives and daughter.
When his wives and daughter saw this, they were pleasantly surprised.
The three wives looked at the jewelry in the box and liked it very much.
His daughter, Chen Yuejian, looked at the pastries and sweet fruits in another box with stars in her eyes. Without saying a word, she reached out and took them out, stuffing them into her small mouth, and started eating.
Seeing that his daughter was eating in a hurry, Chen An smiled and flicked her little face, telling her to eat slowly and not choke.
Then, he picked up the jewelry in the box and personally put it on his three wives.
[You gave your daughter, Chen Yuejian, a box of pastries and sweet fruits. Relationship +3.]
[You gave your wives jewelry and personally put it on them.
Relationship+5+4+6.]
After dinner, as the night deepened.
Chen An comfortably soaked in the bath with Gu Xinyue in the bathroom and discussed in depth the technique to increase the strength of his divine consciousness with her.
An hour passed, and the bath ended.
Chen An dried himself, put on his clothes, and walked straight to his wife’s room.
Every three days, it was his turn to accompany his wife tonight.
“Ying’er, I’m here.”
Chen An pushed open the door and walked in with a gentle voice.
Song Huaying was only wearing a thin undergarment as she sat on the bed reading. When she saw him walk in, she immediately put down the book in her hand and said tenderly,
“Husband, Ying’er has already rested well. She will serve you well tonight.”
“Don’t worry, Ying’er. I already have a way to not let you work so hard.”
Chen An walked to the bed and sat down. He gently blew out the candle on the bedside table and pulled his wife into his arms before lying on the bed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. The sky was still a little bright.
Song Huaying got off the bed and walked two rounds. She felt that her body was not tired at all. She could not help but say in surprise,
“Husband, Ying’er isn’t tired at all. This is so magical!”
“If you’re not tired, then rest for a while.”
“Hmph, Ying’er is going to make me unable to refine pills for the entire morning!”
“Come on, I’m looking forward to it.”
As Chen An spoke, he pulled his wife into his arms. He thought that ‘Flying Mandarin Ducks’ was really worth the price.
Although this cultivation technique was not of much help to his cultivation, it could very well increase the experience of husband and wife being in love. It made his little wife not look exhausted like before after everything happened. It made her no longer be depressed every time she wanted to be in love, allowing her to regain her confidence as a wife when they first got married.
It was late in the morning.
Chen An sat by the bed and handed the three mortal martial arts books to Song Huaying. He introduced the cultivation techniques to her in detail and asked her to refine them herself in the future. If there was anything she did not understand, she could ask Wen Zhiyun.
In this family, no one was as experienced as Wen Zhiyun in cultivation.
As for Chen An, he knew himself very well. He knew that he had relied on the system to cheat to break through so quickly. His true cultivation level was a mess.
After breakfast, as usual, Chen An holed up in the alchemy room and worked hard to refine pills. He had to work hard to earn more spirit stones.
He had gone to the Treasure Pavilion yesterday and lost more than half of his savings. This made him feel very insecure. He had to earn it back as soon as possible.
After refining for a long time, he felt tired.
Chen An sat down and rested. With a thought, he checked the Alchemy Technique progress bar.
[Alchemy Technique: Advanced Level 1 (2346/2500)]
“Soon. I’m still 154 experience points short.”
“With the help of Flying Mandarin Ducks, if nothing goes wrong, I should be able to break through in three days. Breakthrough to become a second-grade Alchemist!”
Chen An was looking forward to it.
After resting for a while, he continued to refine pills.
Just as he was engrossed in refining, a loud shout suddenly came from the alley outside.
“Everyone in Green Willow Alley, quickly put down what you’re doing and come out to gather. Help our Law Enforcement Hall investigate Deacon Tang’s disappearance!”
Investigate Deacon Tang’s disappearance?
When Chen An heard this, his heart tightened..
