After browsing through his interface and reading the notification information about Gu Xinyue,

Chen An sat by the bed with a mixture of joy and worry on his face.

Happiness was that the attribute of divine sense was very difficult to increase, and the process of increasing it was very painful. He only needed to have fun with Gu Xinyue to increase it.

Worry was that he could not obtain any alchemy experience from Gu Xinyue. In that case, it would be a little difficult for him to break through to become a first-grade high-level Alchemist before the child was born.

“Well, it’s always hard to want everything in life.”

Chen An sighed in his heart.

Then, he stopped thinking and looked at the beautiful concubine at the side again.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue’s back was facing him. She covered herself with the blanket and was too embarrassed to see anyone. Her delicate body under the blanket was very hot. When she was accidentally touched, she would tremble, as if she was very nervous.

In the beginning, he would be nervous when doing anything. He would be fine after doing it a few more times.

With a Cultivator’s physique, even if it happened a few more times, it shouldn’t be a problem.

As he thought about it, Chen An asked Gu Xinyue to turn around again and talk to her all night.

[Spiritual Sense Strength+1]

[Spiritual Sense Strength+1]

[…]

It was not until late at night that Chen An stopped training his spiritual sense. He lay on his side and pulled Gu Xinyue into his arms. As he stroked her soft white hair, he spoke sweet nothings as he had to Song Huaying in the past.

However, the effect did not seem to be very good. There was no emotional +1 notification.

Chen Anxin thought that either Gu Xinyue’s personality was really cold, or she was resentful because he didn’t pity her just now.

…

Time passed quickly.

She opened and closed her eyes, and the sound of roosters crowing could be heard.

Chen An woke up and looked out of the window. The sky was still a little bright, and the sun had just come up.

“It was really hard on Ying’er last night. I have to go over and see her.”

After covering Gu Xinyue with a thin blanket, Chen An quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He pushed the door open and went to the woodshed to see if his wife was sleeping well.

As soon as he left, Gu Xinyue, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, opened her eyes. She touched her body that had been doted on last night and had mixed feelings.

After last night’s lovemaking, she didn’t sleep for the entire night.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to sleep, but she couldn’t.

She had been sleeping alone since she was young. It was difficult for her to adapt to the sudden appearance of someone sleeping beside her.

“In the future… will I have to give birth to my husband’s child?”

At the thought of Song Huaying’s big belly, Gu Xinyue couldn’t help but feel a little afraid.

But at the same time, she had a trace of yearning.

Desire to have a family again, a family that loves and loves itself.

…

On the other side, in the backyard.

Chen An gently pushed open the door of the woodshed and realized that Song Huaying was not inside.

He was a little puzzled and immediately activated his divine sense. He walked around the room for a while and saw Song Huaying’s petite figure in the kitchen.

At this moment, Song Huaying was humming a tune as she prepared breakfast in the kitchen with a big belly. She looked very virtuous.

“Ying’er, how was your sleep last night?”

Chen An went forward and hugged Song Huaying from behind. His hands gently caressed her protruding abdomen as he intimately pressed his face against hers.

Song Huaying stirred the porridge in the pot as she smiled sweetly.

“I slept quite well, but I feel a little lonely. Husband, you have to make it up to me later.”

“There’s no need to wait. I have to make it up to you now.”

“Hey, wait, let’s go… to the woodshed!”

After the time for an incense stick to burn.

[Alchemy Experience +2]

Looking at the +2 Alchemy Technique experience in the notification, Chen An suddenly thought of something.

Gu Xinyue’s strength was her divine sense, and the strength of his divine sense was improved by having sex with her.

And the pleasure he had with Song Hua Ying was to increase his alchemy experience. Didn’t this mean that she had a certain talent in alchemy?

Chen An felt that this was very likely, but unfortunately, it was almost impossible to verify.

This was because Song Huaying was not a Cultivator. She could not circulate spirit energy in her body, so she could not refine pills.

However, he felt that he could get her to help him refine pills in the future.

Well, it was just that she might need to further strengthen her physical body.

Otherwise, the alchemy room would be too stuffy and hot. With her soft and weak body, she would definitely not be able to take it.

When the child was born, he could let her practice martial arts to strengthen her body. At the same time, he could extend her life.

“Husband, I’ll make some side dishes for the porridge. Go and wake Sister Gu up.”

Song Huaying lowered her head and tidied up her slightly messy clothes as she spoke in a delicate voice.

Chen An nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Ying’er.”

With that, he took the pot of porridge to the hall first before waking Gu Xinyue up.

Half an incense stick of time later.

The three of them sat in the hall and ate breakfast together.

Gu Xinyue was very quiet. She lowered her head and ate her porridge silently the entire time. She had no intention of chatting.

On the other hand, the old couple at the side had lots to chat about.

They chatted about everything under the sun.

Gu Xinyue was a little envious. There were a few times when she wanted to join in, but in the end, she held back.

Not long after, the three of them were full.

Chen An’s cultivation level was higher. Most of the time, he ate with his wife and concubine. He did not eat much.

After eating a bowl of porridge casually and feeling that it was enough, he stood up and left to refine pills in the alchemy room.

After he left.

Song Huaying immediately moved a chair to Gu Xinyue’s side and sat down. She asked curiously:

“Sister Gu, how did you feel last night?”

“It’s not that bad.”

“…”

Song Huaying fell silent.

That’s right. She was a Cultivator. Could her body be as weak as her own mortal body?

Sigh, now that he has a fairy by his side, I wonder if my husband will still be infatuated with me in the future.

Song Huaying became anxious.

…

Time passed very quickly, and it was already afternoon.

Chen An stayed in the alchemy room and refined for half a day. Then, he went to the market to set up a stall and sold for half a day. In the end, he earned a quarter of a low-grade spirit stone.

If it was a month, he could earn more than seven low-grade spirit stones a month.

However, a month ago, when his business was good, he could earn seven low-grade spirit stones in a day.

There was no harm without comparison.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, after the Blood Demon calamity was resolved, the prices of items like pills, talismans, weapons, and so on had fallen back to normal. They were no longer as profitable as before.

To be honest, Chen An really missed the days when he could store money in snakeskin bags.

Although it was very chaotic back then, it was really profitable.

He stopped thinking about it.

Chen An quickly tidied up the stall, but he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he walked straight to the market.

He wanted to go there and buy a gift for his wife and concubine.

It was still the same stall that specialized in selling accessories.

Chen An walked around and finally bought two hairpins engraved with blue lotus patterns.

It was not expensive and could be bought with silver. However, the workmanship was very exquisite and was very popular with women.

Before the sky turned dark, Chen An hurried home.

Just a few days ago, the advance-stage Qi Refining Deacon in charge of the cheap district had left. More than half of the intermediate-stage Qi Refining Cultivators in the patrol team had also left.

Gradually, the security in the cheap district became unstable again.

Although there were no murders and robberies, there were many more cases of stealing.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before someone gets killed and robbed.

The reason was that the relationship between the Bamboo Leaf Gang, which was in charge of managing the Bamboo Leaf Forest, and the rival gang, Black Iron Manor, had become tense. In order to seize the mineral vein resources, a war could break out at any time.

Therefore, many members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang had been summoned to the front line to prepare for war. They had no time to care about the security of the cheap district.

“I didn’t expect that just after the Blood Demon calamity left, there would be a gang war in the blink of an eye. I wonder if the price of medicinal pills will increase again.”

Chen An analyzed on the way home.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the price of the medicinal pills would most likely not increase.

As a large gang, the Bamboo Leaf Gang must have a lot of medicinal pills in reserve.

Even if they did not have enough reserves and needed to buy it from the Alchemists in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, the price would definitely be the same as usual. They might even lower the price.

After all, the Bamboo Leaf Gang was the owner of the Bamboo Leaf Forest. If the Alchemists living there dared to raise the price, they would probably die the next day.

The cultivation world was not a peaceful era. Under the circumstances where one’s strength crushed one’s, one could really kill one just like that.

When it’s better, I can talk to you about acquisition. At most, I can lower the price.

When the time came, they would snatch it from him in minutes. After snatching it, they would even capture him as cannon fodder. Those who resisted would be killed on the spot as a warning to the others.

“Sigh, I hope these two gangs don’t fight.”

“Otherwise, once the flames of war spread, the lives of low-level Cultivators like me will probably not be peaceful again.”

Chen An thought worriedly.
