Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 49: Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Qi Refining

The members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang left, and soon the residents in the core area dispersed as well.

Chen An was still holding Wen Zhiyun's jade hand, smiling as he said, "Let's go back to the house and have breakfast."

"Mm."

Wen Zhiyun softly responded, her voice sounding gentler than ever before.

When the two returned to the house, Gu Xinyue had already prepared breakfast.

She made spirit chicken congee, soy milk, and youtiao (fried dough sticks).

They were all placed on the dining table in the hall.

In the slightly cool morning, the steam rising from the food made it look delicious and appetizing.

"Husband, sit down and drink the spirit chicken congee cooked by Sister Gu. It's very delicious."

"Wen Jiejie, please sit down too."

Seeing the two return, Song Huaying, who was sitting at the dining table feeding their daughter congee, immediately smiled sweetly.

Gu Xinyue, who was quieter, silently brought two porcelain bowls and filled them with spirit chicken congee for Chen An and Wen Zhiyun.

Chen An took a sip of the spirit chicken congee.

The rice in the congee was cooked to the perfect consistency.

The taste was sweet and refreshing.

It was very delicious.

Taking another sip and tasting the spirit chicken meat in the congee, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The texture wasn't great.

The meat was dry when eaten.

It wasn't as tender and flavorful as he had imagined.

It wasn't that Gu Xinyue didn't do a good job, but rather that the spirit chicken wasn't raised for long enough.

If it had been raised for two and a half years, the texture of the spirit chicken meat would definitely be much better.

"Husband, is the taste not good?"

Seeing Chen An furrow his brows, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but ask with a hint of disappointment.

Chen An smiled and said, "No, husband has never had such delicious spirit chicken congee before. Yue'er's cooking skills have improved a lot."

"If husband likes it, Yue'er will make it for you every day."

Gu Xinyue couldn't hide her joy, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

[You praised your wife Gu Xinyue's cooking skills, increasing your marital affection by +1.]

Chen An glanced at the prompt message.

Then his gaze swept over the three wives sitting across from him, and he fell into deep thought.

His gentle and capable wife, Song Huaying, was good at observing words and expressions. She was skilled at managing the household and could help him maintain family relationships.

His honest and hardworking concubine, Gu Xinyue, took care of all the household chores, big and small. As long as she was there, he didn't have to worry about the cleanliness of the house, the maintenance of the front and back yards, and the three meals a day.

His proud and spoiled concubine, Wen Zhiyun, was an expert in child-rearing. She knew how to take care of the children, and then... that was it.

Chen An felt that this wasn't enough.

Wen Zhiyun, a Qi Refining Eighth Level Immortal Master, should contribute more to the family.

She was capable of taking on more responsibilities.

It was necessary to further develop her.

For example, she had the Fire Spiritual Root, which naturally made her suitable for alchemy.

Perhaps he could teach her alchemy and make her an alchemist as well.

In this way, the family's income could at least double in the future.

While Chen An was thinking about these things, their daughter suddenly called out from her seat, "Tiao! Tiao! Tiao!"

Chen Yuejian looked at the youtiao in front of her, her mouth watering, and her little hands kept reaching forward, trying to grab the youtiao.

Unfortunately, her hands were too short, and she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried. She became anxious, and her two delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Song Huaying took away her little hand, pinched her chubby little face, and said, "Xiaoyue, you're still young and can't eat fried food. You have to obediently drink congee, okay?"

"Tiao! Tiao! Tiao!"

Chen Yuejian was persistent. She wanted to eat the youtiao, and she struggled in her mother's arms.

Seeing that she didn't listen, Song Huaying lightly tapped her little hand and scolded, "If you don't listen, Mommy won't want you anymore!"

Chen Yuejian either didn't understand or didn't listen. She immediately looked at her father with a face that seemed like she was about to cry, and with a pair of slender eyebrows furrowed, she shouted, "Dad... Dad!"

"I... I want tiao... want tiao!"

"Eat!"

Hearing her stuttering words, Chen An and the three wives were all shocked.

What's going on?

Chen An was not unexcited. It was just that his attention was completely drawn to a prompt message in front of him.

[Your daughter, Chen Yuejian, has learned to speak. Reward: one top-grade Gathering Qi Pill.]

It was actually a top-grade Gathering Qi Pill!

Chen An looked down at the purple pill that appeared in his hand out of thin air, feeling extremely excited.

Last time, with just an ordinary Gathering Qi Pill, he directly broke through from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining!

So, with a top-grade Gathering Qi Pill this time, how much cultivation would it increase?

He was full of anticipation. After kissing his daughter Chen Yuejian's little face, he immediately couldn't wait to enter the alchemy room, close the door, and swallow the top-grade Gathering Qi Pill in his hand.

He arrived at the alchemy room.

Opened the window.

Ventilated.

Let fresh air from outside rush in.

Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the top-grade Gathering Qi Pill in his hand.

Then, just like last time, his blood vessels expanded in an instant, pores enlarged, and he absorbed the surrounding air into his body, continuously refining the spiritual energy contained in the air and converting it into spiritual power stored within his body.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Chen An slowly opened his eyes.

After feeling the changes in his body, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He had broken through.

From the sixth level of Qi Refining, he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, it was the complete mastery of the seventh level of Qi Refining, just one step away from the eighth level of Qi Refining!

He had officially entered the later stage of Qi Refining!

He became a powerful figure in the core area!

"At most half a year, I will break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining with my own efforts!"

Chen An set this goal for himself with full confidence.

Leaving the alchemy room.

Arriving in the hall.

The tableware on the table had already been cleaned up.

The three wives sat together, bringing the small Chen Yuejian into the middle, eagerly teaching her to say various things.

Seeing her husband come out, the three women all looked at him.

"You've broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining?"

Feeling the unreserved spiritual pressure emanating from Chen An, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief.

You see, she spent at least eight hours a day practicing and abstained from worldly desires for more than ten years before she finally became a strong figure at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

And Chen An, as an alchemist, with the need to spend a lot of time every day on alchemy, actually broke through from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the complete mastery of the seventh level of Qi Refining in just one year?

What on earth was going on?

Wen Zhiyun couldn't figure it out, her face filled with doubt.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, who were beside her, were also very surprised when they heard her say that her husband had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and become a strong figure in the later stage of Qi Refining.

Among them, Song Huaying quickly became excited.

She got up and threw herself into Chen An's arms, her little face excitedly blushing.

"Husband, you're amazing! How much good fortune did Ying'er accumulate in her past life to have the honor of marrying you? We should celebrate tonight!"

Chen An pinched his young wife's tender flesh and smiled at her, as well as Gu Xinyue and Wen Zhiyun behind her.

"No need to wait until tonight, let's do it now. I want to celebrate with you properly and let you see the power of a man in the later stage of Qi Refining."

After saying that, he had the idea to use the Sleep Aid Technique on his daughter Chen Yuejian, causing her to fall asleep with a sweet face. Then, he took his wives into the adjacent room.
