Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 135: Manifestation of the Wood Spirit Root (12)

Hundred Herbs Lane, underground in the house.

Chen An had just come down from the cave entrance and saw his wife and daughter sitting below, waiting for him to come back.

"Husband!"

As soon as Chen An returned, Song Huaying, who was feeding their daughter, immediately greeted him with a sweet smile on her face.

Chen An reached out and embraced her, lowering his head to give her a kiss on her little face.

Then, he gently said to the others,

"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go put the water in the water tank, and it will be ready soon."

"Husband, there's no need to rush. You just came back, take a rest first," Wen Zhiyun said tenderly.

However, Chen Yuejian, who was next to her, wasn't as considerate. He pointed to his younger sister, Chen Yike, and said,

"Daddy, Yike wet the bed. Hurry up and pour some water to help her wash!"

Upon hearing this, Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun and asked, "Didn't you use a cleaning talisman to clean her up?"

"You still have the nerve to say that? The cleaning talismans in my storage bag have all been used up by you a long time ago," Wen Zhiyun scolded him with a displeased look on her face.

In the days since they moved into the underground house, Chen An, who had more time for alchemy, would spend every day entangled with his wives.

Among them, he spent the most time with Wen Zhiyun.

Almost every night, they would use a cleaning talisman.

It consumed a lot of them.

Now, being reminded by Wen Zhiyun, Chen An suddenly realized it.

Then, he had a thought and took out a cleaning talisman from his storage bag, using it on his second daughter, who had a silly look on her face, to make her body clean and refreshed again.

Afterwards, he said to Wen Zhiyun,

"If you need any daily necessities in the future, remember to tell me. I still have a lot in my storage bag."

After saying that, he looked at the other three wives and said with a reliable smile,

"The rest of you, if you need anything, let me know."

"Husband, what should I do if I lack love?" Song Huaying, in his arms, teased him with a spoiled voice and a face full of charm.

Chen An patted her increasingly plump curves and smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, when it's time to rest tonight, I will replenish your love."

"Husband, you're mean."

Song Huaying pouted her rosy lips and spoke in a coquettish voice, like a daughter acting spoiled towards her father.

Chen An couldn't help but itch to tease her, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Don't worry, tonight I will become even meaner, mean enough to make you cry."

"Husband, are you thinking of hitting me again?"

Song Huaying blinked her adorable eyes, looking up at Chen An with a pitiful expression.

Wen Zhiyun, who had a more traditional and conservative personality, couldn't bear to watch their flirting anymore. She took her two daughters and turned to walk towards the room.

Gu Xinyue felt a twinge of envy and also wanted to flirt with her husband, but she couldn't let go completely.

Shen Qingyi didn't feel much and had no intention of actively flirting with Chen An. However, if Chen An were to take the initiative to flirt with her, she would respond to some extent.

...

In the blink of an eye.

The time has come to the evening.

Chen An accompanied Shen Qingyi last night, so tonight it's Song Huaying's turn.

Due to the scarcity of water resources now, he didn't take Song Huaying to soak in a mandarin duck bath, but instead they each used a cleansing talisman.

"Husband, last time you told me a story about making something out of nothing. What story will you tell me tonight?"

Song Huaying leaned beside Chen An, her smooth and delicate legs playfully swaying, wearing only a thin bellyband, revealing most of her flawless, snow-white body, looking particularly enticing.

Chen An lay on his side next to her, lazily reaching out to grab her restless little foot, holding it in his hand and kneading it, unable to let go.

Then, he smiled and said, "Tonight is a long night, so I will tell you a story about the three connections of the Dao."

"Wife, we've already heard that one, can we have a different one?"

Song Huaying looked pitiful, making people feel a strong desire to ravish her.

Chen An pretended to be hesitant and said, "If you've heard it and don't want to hear it again, what should I do? But I still like telling it, what should I do?"

"Then, wife will obediently listen to husband's story."

Song Huaying's cheeks blushed slightly, and she felt a hint of anticipation in her heart.

The story was very long.

It was told until dawn.

When the sunlight poured in, Song Huaying was already exhausted, lying on the bed breathing irregularly.

Chen An was a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, with very low sleep requirements. He was still alert and energetic, without any fatigue.

He smoothed out Song Huaying's messy hair and suddenly remembered something, saying to her, "By the way, Yinger, yesterday on my way back from fetching water, I exterminated a large group of tree spirits and obtained many tree spirit cores."

"Now that you have the bloodline of the Flower God, you have a wood attribute core in your body. These tree spirit cores should be able to nourish your own core."

"Give it a try."

Chen An said, and with a thought, he took out all the tree spirit cores from the storage bag and handed one of them to Song Huaying.

Song Huaying took it and looked at it, with some confusion on her face, "Husband, how do I use this?"

"It's very simple, just stick this tree spirit core on the position closest to your own core."

Chen An instructed.

Song Huaying immediately couldn't wait to try it, sticking the tree spirit core in her hand on her chest.

Soon, she was pleasantly surprised to find that a large amount of cool energy surged out from the tree spirit core and flowed into her own core, continuously nourishing it.

"Husband, it really works!"

Song Huaying's face was full of joy, as if she had discovered a new continent and opened the door to a new world.

Since she was a mortal from a young age, this was the first time she had experienced such a magical feeling.

Chen An smiled and said, "Since it works, all these tree spirit cores on the bed are yours from now on. Make good use of them and try to improve the quality of your core as much as possible."

After saying this, he got dressed, got out of bed, and left the room.

Taking advantage of the early hour, he planned to go to the next room and have some intimate time with Gu Xinyue.

Otherwise, his energy would be too vigorous, and there was nothing to do in the tunnel, which could easily lead to problems.

...

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and moon shuttle.

Unconsciously.

Two months have passed.

During these days,

Chen An, apart from going outside to fetch water, spent all his time in the underground tunnel, entangled with his wives and concubines, and playing with his daughters.

On this day, just after finishing dinner,

Chen An crossed his legs and let his second daughter sit on top, playing seesaw.

At the same time, a thought came to his mind, and he brought up his system panel to check the attribute data above, which he hadn't looked at for a long time.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Foundation Building Eighth Level · 8%]

[Pill Technique: Third Rank Intermediate · 2%]

[Spiritual Consciousness: Third Rank Intermediate · 3%]

[Fire Spiritual Root: Top Grade · 65%]

[Metal Spiritual Root: Top Grade · 12%]

[Various Spells: Goldfinger (Divine Ability Level · 21%), Sleep Aid Technique (Grandmaster Level · 37%), Shadow Killing Technique (Grandmaster Level · 23%), Immobilization Technique (Grandmaster Level · 11%)...]

[Spouse: Song Huaying (4 stars · 78%), Gu Xinyue (4 stars · 55%), Wen Zhiyun (4 stars · 58%), Shen Qingyi (2 stars · 62%)]

[Descendants: Chen Yuejian (3 stars · 88%), Chen Yike (1 star · 47%)]

"Hmm?"

"The panel display mode has been updated?"

"It's much more intuitive."

Chen An looked at the refreshed panel in front of him and thought that this system is really intelligent, even updating automatically.

The current system interface looks much neater, and the progress bars of each attribute can be seen intuitively.

No longer like before, with a bunch of numbers that need to be opened one by one to view.

Chen An glanced at the attributes above.

Hmm, last month his cultivation broke through and reached the eighth level of Foundation Building.

His alchemy realm and spiritual consciousness intensity also broke through to the third rank.

Then, his gaze fell on the fire spiritual root and metal spiritual root.

Under his hard work day and night, the aptitude of these two spiritual roots has both been upgraded to "top grade."

The next level is the unheard-of "Saint Grade."

Unfortunately, no matter how high the aptitude of the spiritual roots is, it can only increase the upper limit of cultivation, and it doesn't increase much in terms of cultivation efficiency.

Because the concentration of spiritual energy in the Mountain and Sea Domain is limited, even when it was still a top-grade spiritual root, his own efficiency in absorbing the spiritual energy in the air had already reached its limit.

Now, if he wants to improve his cultivation efficiency, he can only move to a place with more abundant spiritual energy.

In simple terms, the Mountain and Sea Domain cannot support spiritual roots with an aptitude as high as "top grade."

However, what Chen An cares most about now is not the aptitude of the spiritual roots, but the number of manifest spiritual roots.

He wants to collect the five elemental spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In this way, he will have the qualifications to learn more spells.

Especially those three widely applicable Five Elements Escape Techniques.

Wood Release Technique.

Water Release Technique.

Earth Release Technique.

If you learn these three escape techniques, you will have more confidence when you go out in the future.

Even when facing unbeatable enemies, you will have the ability to escape.

Time passes quickly.

Unconsciously, the night has deepened.

At this moment, the two young daughters have already gone to bed.

They are sleeping in Wen Zhiyun's room.

Wen Zhiyun is sleeping with them.

As for Gu Xinyue, she is currently in Shen Qingyi's room, humbly asking about cultivation matters.

"Husband, it's time to rest."

At this moment, Song Huaying, wearing only a sexy bellyband, walked over, wrapped her arm around Chen An's neck, and sat on his lap, looking at him affectionately.

Those who understand this look, understand.

Chen An didn't waste any words and directly carried her to the room.

The night is late, it's time to get to work.

"Yinger, have you absorbed all those tree spirit cores I gave you that day?"

In the room, Chen An gently placed Song Huaying on the bed and suddenly remembered this matter, so he curiously asked.

While Song Huaying was undressing him, she answered in a soft voice,

"Mm, I absorbed them all a few days ago. Now I feel that the quality of the spirit cores in my body has improved a lot."

"Do you have any specific feelings?"

"If I have to say, it's that now I can absorb spiritual energy from the air twice as fast as before, and the total amount I absorb has increased by about ten times."

"The effect is so good?"

Chen An was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

He thought that he had only given his young wife a dozen or so tree spirit cores.

How could the improvement be so significant after absorption?

Song Huaying noticed his doubt and uncertainly gave a guess, "Husband, could it be because the bloodline of the Flower God is special?"

"Mm, it's very possible."

Chen An nodded, feeling that it should be the case without any surprises.

He estimated that the tree spirit cores were simply responsible for providing nourishment, and as for how much improvement the nurtured side could have, it all depended on the situation of that side itself.

And the bloodline of the Flower God, these four words sound very high-ranking.

"Husband, don't dwell on these things anymore, I can't wait any longer."

Seeing that Chen An seemed to be lost in thought, Song Huaying immediately held his arm and skillfully shook it while acting coquettishly.

Chen An glanced at this little seductress and chose to satisfy her now.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time.

[Alchemy Experience +4, Wood Spirit Root +4]

[Wood Spirit Root: Low-grade · 4%]

"Hmm?"

Chen An looked at the two prompt messages that suddenly appeared in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
