Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 146: Stubborn Fox Demon (22)

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already the next morning.

In the hall.

A family of seven sat down to eat breakfast.

Taking advantage of everyone being present, Chen An said to his wives and concubines:

"Last night, I received news from the Heaven and Earth Sect."

"The Heaven and Earth Sect said that there will be a test in the Alchemy Hall in half a year, and they want me to participate."

"If I pass the test, I can directly join the Heaven and Earth Sect and become a member of the Alchemy Hall."

After Chen An finished speaking.

Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and Wen Zhiyun all felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

A very familiar feeling.

Having to participate in an assessment to join.

Isn't this the same process as when they wanted to join the Treasure Pavilion in the Bamboo Leaf Forest?

Thinking of this, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but worry: "Husband, could there be any deception in this?"

"It shouldn't be."

Chen An expressed his opinion: "The Heaven and Earth Sect is a major sect, and this test sounds like a large-scale assessment involving multiple people. It's not a private test, so there shouldn't be any tricks."

"That's good."

Wen Zhiyun relaxed a little. It was because when they were in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, the whole family was traumatized by the Treasure Pavilion.

At that time, the Bamboo Leaf Forest was in chaos, and the whole family relied on joining the Treasure Pavilion for refuge.

But they ended up being deceived.

Fortunately, Chen An's cultivation level had already improved at that time.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Shen Qingyi was an outsider at that time, so she completely didn't understand why they were worried about these things.

The Heaven and Earth Sect is a major sect. How could their arranged test deceive people?

Chen An saw the doubt on Shen Qingyi's face and roughly explained it to her.

As a result, after Shen Qingyi listened, her blood pressure suddenly rose. She slammed the table with a "bang" and her tone was full of anger:

"Abusing power for personal gain, embezzling funds, that steward Li from the Treasure Pavilion deserves to die!"

The other people at the table were startled by her sudden outburst.

Especially the two young daughters.

They were so scared that their bodies twitched.

Among them, the younger Chen Yike almost burst into tears.

But fortunately, Wen Zhiyun, who was beside her, acted quickly and spooned a mouthful of porridge into her mouth, interrupting her dragon-like roar.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingyi realized that she had been too excited just now.

She calmed down and apologized to everyone, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone. I got carried away just now."

"It's okay, just be more careful in the future." Chen An smiled and said.

Shen Qingyi tried to control her emotions and said unhappily, "That steward Li from the Treasure Pavilion is such a beast. When I have the chance to return to the Great Thousand Domain, I will personally kill him."

Song Huaying laughed and said, "Shen sister, you might not have the chance."

"What do you mean?"

Shen Qingyi didn't quite understand.

Song Huaying explained with a smile, "That steward Li from the Treasure Pavilion was killed by husband on the same day."

"That's good."

Upon hearing this news, Shen Qingyi felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Chen An noticed this and couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart.

This female hero's concubine really adheres to the principle of punishing evil and promoting justice from beginning to end, and she doesn't tolerate any evil people.

I hope that when we move to the Heaven and Earth Sect in the future, she can restrain herself a bit, otherwise she will easily offend people.

No, wait!

The Heaven and Earth Sect is such a large sect, there must be a department like the Law Enforcement Hall inside.

By then, perhaps we can find a way to let this female hero's concubine join the Law Enforcement Hall.

In this way, it can satisfy her obsession with punishing evil and promoting justice, and it can also be like in my previous life, where I held a semi-official position within the system and could help our family make connections.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking about this, Chen An said to his wives and concubines:

"The test at the Alchemy Hall of the Heaven and Earth Sect may be a bit difficult and may require knowledge of the refining of several third-grade elixirs."

"So after breakfast, I have to go out to the market and see if I can buy some third-grade elixir recipes to study."

After hearing this, his wives and concubines all said they understood, and asked Chen An to be safe when he goes out, and if there's anything, to let them know with a sound transmission talisman if he will be late coming back.

While the group was chatting.

Chen Yike, the second daughter who had finished breakfast, clumsily climbed down from her chair.

She walked up to her father and stopped, skillfully reaching out to hug her father's leg, slightly raising her little face to look at him, asking her father to play on the seesaw with her.

However, at this moment, Chen An was engrossed in chatting with his wives and concubines, accidentally ignoring his second daughter.

The second daughter waited for a long time, seeing that her father still hadn't noticed her, she couldn't help but become anxious.

Getting more and more anxious, she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs like an angry dragon:

"Dad!!!"

"I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

"Play on the seesaw!!!"

The second daughter shouted loudly, causing everyone in the hall to have their eardrums ringing.

What's going on?

Little Yike can speak now?

Everyone was a bit stunned, and still hadn't fully reacted until Chen Yike continued to shout a few more times, "I want to play on the seesaw."

Everyone finally woke up from their daze and realized that the young Chen Yike had really learned to speak.

Although it sounded a bit unclear and the pronunciation wasn't very accurate.

"Little Yike, you actually learned to speak!"

"You're such a good child!"

"Mother used to misunderstand you, but you're not stupid at all, you're a very smart child!"

Wen Zhiyun regained her senses and became extremely excited, hugging her silly daughter, rubbing and kissing her, looking very happy.

Her previous daughter, besides crying loudly, giggling, and making a sound like "uh," she couldn't make any other sounds, which made her think that her daughter might be a bit slow.

But now, she had learned to speak before she was even a year old, and she could say a complete sentence as soon as she opened her mouth.

The speed at which she learned to speak was even better than her older sister, Chen Yuejian.

My daughter Yike is talented in both literature and martial arts!

The more Wen Zhiyun thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't stop smiling.

The other three wives, seeing that Chen Yike had inexplicably learned to speak, all had curious and interested expressions as they approached her to play.

They asked her to call father, mother, Shen Niang, Gu Niang, and Song Niang, as well as calling her sister.

However, young Chen Yike ignored them and kept looking towards her father, Chen An. She opened her mouth and shouted again:

"Dad!!!"

"I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

"I want to play!!!"

Her voice was very loud.

If it weren't for the soundproof barrier in the tunnel, her voice would probably have been heard kilometers away.

It can only be said that she truly is a genius with extraordinary talent.

Her talent is undeniable.

Unfortunately, Chen An's attention was completely absorbed by the prompt information in front of him, automatically blocking out his second daughter's shouts.

[Your daughter, Chen Yike, has learned to speak. Reward: the ultimate spell "Dragon Roar".]

[Dragon Roar: an advanced version of the Lion's Roar spell, it uses sound waves to directly attack the target's soul. It is a mental attack spell that is difficult to dodge.]

[Dragon Roar: Beginner Level - 1%]

"If I remember correctly, this seems to be my first mental attack spell?"

Thinking of this, Chen An felt a bit excited.

Now, not only is his alchemy attainment profound and his cultivation realm high, but he is also mastering more and more spells.

His originally ordinary strength is now almost reaching the level of invincibility in the same realm.

If he were to face a weaker cultivator in the mid Gold Core stage, he even feels that he could kill them despite the difference in cultivation level.

"Dad, I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

Chen Yike somehow broke free from her mother's embrace and once again walked in front of her father, shouting while hugging his thigh.

This time, Chen An snapped back to reality.

He smiled and picked up his second daughter, crossed his legs, placed her on his foot, and then moved up and down, allowing her to play on the seesaw as she wished.

[You played on the seesaw with your daughter, Chen Yike. Father-daughter bond +1.]

"She's really a little silly."

Chen An looked down at his second daughter, who was sitting on his foot, with a kind smile on his face, just like an old father.

Half an hour later.

The dining table was cleaned up.

The four wives, as well as the eldest daughter, were now all amusing the newly speaking Chen Yike.

They were having a great time.

Chen An told them that he was going to the Qin Family's commercial street to buy the recipe for a third-grade pill.

However, everyone was so engrossed in amusing Chen Yike that they didn't have time to pay attention to him.

They just casually said, "Okay, we know," and asked him to go quickly and come back quickly, and then they ignored him.

Chen An felt a bit cold-hearted.

Having a daughter/sister who can speak, they forgot about their husband/father. This is going too far.

He shook his head.

Let out a sigh.

Chen An quickly left the tunnel and flew on his sword towards the Qin Family's commercial street.

After half a cup of tea.

Qin Family's commercial street.

Chen An landed on his sword and was surprised to find that the once high-end and elegant Qin Family's commercial street had become dilapidated.

At a glance, besides the debris and broken beams on the ground, as well as some dried bloodstains, there was nothing left inside.

No one.

There are no dazzling goods.

There is nothing at all.

It is extremely empty.

Chen An doesn't understand what has happened.

He is very curious and walks towards the shop across the street that specializes in selling spirit cakes. He asks the owner for a few boxes of spirit cakes and then inquires about what happened to the Qin Family's business.

Afterward, he learns that there was a conflict between the people of the Qin Family and the people of the Xu Kun Gang.

That day, the people from the Xu Kun Gang came to ask about the trouble in this Qin Family's business on Liu Street, and as a result, everyone died.

Upon hearing the news, the people from the Xu Kun Gang immediately sent someone to destroy this Qin Family's business.

Not only that, they also wiped out the entire Qin Family, leaving no survivors.

Since that day, the Qin Family, this Gold Core major family, has completely become a part of history in the Red Cedar Forest.

After listening, Chen An sighs.

Then he flies away on his sword, heading to other markets to find a business to purchase the recipe for third-grade pill medicine.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Chen An finds a business in a market more than twenty miles away that is not inferior in scale to the Qin Family's business, and is even slightly larger.

This is a business opened by a local Gold Core major family.

It is the Ye Family's business, called the Ye Business.

Chen An has visited businesses many times before, so he no longer feels anything new about them.

Therefore, he goes in and directly asks to buy the recipe for third-grade pill medicine, asking the shopkeeper to introduce it.

After a simple understanding of the specific third-grade pill medicine recipes available and their corresponding prices.

Chen An doesn't beat around the bush and starts bargaining directly.

When he can't bargain any further, he goes to other markets to compare prices.

Then, he selects the most affordable business among them, the Lu Business, and buys five recipes for third-grade pill medicine from this business.

He rounds it up and spends a total of 100 high-grade spirit stones.

When buying, Chen An doesn't have enough money.

He had to sell a lot of things in his storage bags to barely make up the 100 high-grade spirit stones.

It hurts his heart a bit.

But when he thinks that he will be able to join the Heaven and Earth Sect in half a year.

It is worth spending more.

After buying the pill medicine recipes, Chen An doesn't stay any longer and quickly flies home on his sword.

When passing by Liu Street and flying to the forest more than thirty miles away.

In the sky a kilometer high.

Suddenly, there is a buzzing sound and a barrier appears.

Directly blocking the path of flight.

Chen An frowns and immediately expands his divine sense, enveloping the area within several miles in his perception.

However, he doesn't find anything.

What is going on?

Just as Chen An is at a loss.

A bird demon suddenly flies over from a distance, with a very familiar figure standing on top.

Chen An takes a closer look and it is the woman in the purple dress, the fox demon!
