After coming out of Wen Zhiyun’s room, Chen An felt that he was missing a lot of things.

He hurriedly went to the alchemy room and found a bottle of Energy Recovery Pills. He pulled out the cork and poured it into his mouth.

As soon as the medicinal pill entered his stomach, it instantly turned into threads of essence energy that flowed in his body, constantly nourishing various parts of his body that were overworked.

In less than a moment, Chen An, who was originally a little fatigued and dispirited, became lively again in the blink of an eye.

“It’s a pity that this Energy Recovery Pill is only useful for men. If only it was also useful for women.”

Looking at the empty medicine bottle, Chen An could not help but sigh.

If the Energy Recovery Pill could also be effective on women, his wives would not have to work so hard every day in the future.

After resting for a while, since Chen An had nothing to do, he began to refine pills diligently.

He refined for more than four hours.

When he felt that he was almost done refining, he stood up and left the alchemy room. He went to his wife’s room to see his daughter.

On the way, he passed by Wen Zhiyun’s room.

When Chen An smelt the faint fragrance of briar flowers coming from inside, he was unconvinced.

If it was a direct confrontation, he was not inferior to Wen Zhiyun at all. He could make this arrogant concubine beg for mercy.

However, this arrogant concubine relied on the fact that she was pregnant and took advantage of his strength but was unable to use it on her. Throughout the entire process, she went on the offense. She even specially used despicable methods, making him unable to say anything.

“After the child in her stomach is born, I’ll get back at her with interest. I’ll make her beg for mercy every day.”

Chen An comforted himself.

Soon, he walked into his wife’s room and watched her teach his daughter social etiquette. He felt that it was quite interesting.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Chen An sat up beside his wife, who was still sleeping soundly. His gaze landed on the notification in front of him.

[Alchemy Experience +3] X15

[Alchemy Technique: Advanced Level 1 (2391/2500)]

“I’m still 109 experience points short.”

Looking at the data on the notification, Chen An was slightly excited. He thought to himself that it was an extremely correct decision to spend 700 low-grade spirit stones to buy the ‘Flying Mandarin Ducks’ technique from the Treasure Pavilion that day.

Not to mention 700 low-grade spirit stones, he felt that even 7,000 low-grade spirit stones were not a loss.

To others, the ‘Flying Mandarin Ducks’ cultivation technique might just be a tool to increase the experience while loving his wives. At the same time, it would reduce the burden after the deed.

However, to him, this cultivation technique was an aid that increased his upgrade speed by at least half.

He put on his clothes and got out of bed. He washed up and ate porridge.

Chen An quickly finished doing all this. Then, under the gaze of his wife and daughter, he carried a medicine box filled with medicinal pills and left.

Bamboo Leaf Gang, Logistics Department.

As usual, Chen An went in to hand over the pills and turned to leave.

However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a deacon behind him.

“Alchemist Chen, please wait.”

“Deacon Liu, is there anything else?”

Chen An asked calmly.

However, he cursed in his heart. He cursed these dogs in the logistics department for being greedy and increasing the supply of medicinal pills again.

Unfortunately, he cursed wrongly this time.

The deacon in the logistics department did not mention anything about the increase in the supply of medicinal pills.

Instead, he said,

“Alchemist Chen, Elder Han, who’s in charge of the entire logistics department, will come here later and gather all the Alchemists for a meeting. If you don’t have anything urgent, why don’t you sit here and wait? Otherwise, you’ll have to make another trip.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Deacon Liu.” Chen An smiled kindly.

After that, he asked, “Deacon Liu, 1 wonder what meeting will be held later?”

Deacon Liu said, “I’m not sure what meeting it is exactly because this was suddenly announced. Now, I’ve gone around informing the Alchemists in the gang and the core area to come for a meeting.”

“I see…”

Chen An pondered for a moment and nodded. Then, he found a quiet corner and sat down to wait.

Sigh, I hope it’s not just a meeting to squeeze more from the Alchemists. He sighed inwardly.

When he had nothing to do, he observed the Cultivators at the bottom of the logistics department who were busy.

There were more men than women.

There were handsome and ugly men, but only ugly women. There wasn’t even an average looking person.

The reason why such a phenomenon happened was that those good-looking low-level female Cultivators were basically brought home by rich male Cultivators as concubines.

The rest were so ugly that no one wanted them. They could only stay and toil in the logistics department.

As time passed, slowly, Cultivators kept walking into the logistics office.

Almost all the Alchemists who had received the notification of the meeting rushed over.

An Alchemist who knew Chen An walked over and sat down to wait when he saw him sitting in a corner. He smiled and greeted him.

About an hour later, the originally empty corner had unknowingly become crowded.

In the beginning, there was only Chen An, but now there were more than 50 people gathered.

These 50 people were all the top Alchemists in the entire Bamboo Leaf Forest.

They were all high-level first-grade.

However, they were basically all only high-level first-grade. Only two of them had reached second-grade.

Moreover, these two second-grade Alchemists were members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

“Fellow Alchemists, thank you for coming to the logistics department to gather.”

As a deep man’s voice sounded, an old man in white appeared in front of everyone.

This was Elder Han from the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

As soon as they saw this elder in charge of the logistics department, many Alchemists present flattered him, saying that it was not hard, and that it was their honor to be summoned by Elder Han.

Actually, these Alchemists could not be blamed for flattering him.

After all, this Elder Han in front of them was a big shot who controlled the fate of all the Alchemists in the Bamboo Leaf Forest.

Whether or not they could join the Bamboo Leaf Gang and become an Alchemist, how many medicinal pills the Alchemist had to provide to the logistics department every month, was all up to Elder Han.

“Everyone, quiet down.”

Elder Han gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Then, he said, “The reason why 1 gathered everyone here today is mainly to talk to you about refining poison pills.”

Poison pill?

Upon hearing these two words, the expressions of all the Alchemists present could not help but change.

Everyone looked at each other. They all thought that someone had secretly refined and sold poison pills, causing everyone to be implicated.

However, what Elder Han said next was not what they had expected.

Instead, he said shockingly that he wanted the Alchemists present to refine a special poison pill to control the mercenaries on the battlefield.

Recently, the Bamboo Leaf Gang had become more and more disadvantaged in the war with the Black Iron Manor. Many mercenaries saw that the situation was not to their benefit and chose to turn against them. Instead, they attacked the members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang and took their heads to join the Black Iron Manor.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Elder Han asked the Alchemists to develop a special poison.

Requirement: Normally, it is completely harmless to the body, but if you don’t take a specific antidote regularly, you will end up dying.

In order to increase their enthusiasm, he even offered a very generous reward.

They will be gifting companions, identities, cultivation techniques… and so on.

When the Alchemists present heard this, they were all excited. Most of them began to stir.

Chen An was one of the unimpressed ones.

He had no interest in it. He did not want to stand out just for this reward.

He only wanted to quickly break through to become a second-grade Alchemist and join the Treasure Pavilion to change his life.

Not long after, the meeting was dismissed.

Chen An did not stay long and left the logistics department immediately.

After returning home, he went straight to his wife, Song Huaying’s room.

Currently, he was only lacking 109 experience points to break through to the second level of the Alchemy Realm.

He didn’t want to wait any longer.

Thinking about it, he would work his wife hard again and directly break through tonight.

As compensation, he would dote on his little wife twice as much in the future and give her more respect.

Instead of letting his wife be a little woman who only knew how to obey her husband and had no life of her own.

The sky gradually darkened. A cool breeze blew outside.

That night, his daughter, Chen Yuejian, slept in Wen Zhiyun’s room.

Chen An pushed open the door of his wife’s room, took off his clothes, and lay on her bed. He chatted with her about every beautiful moment in the two and a half years of their marriage.

“Husband, Ying’er is just a mortal girl. As an Immortal Master, why are you so good to me?”

Song Huaying lay weakly on the bed. Her breathing was deep and heavy, and her delicate and red face was filled with confusion.

Chen An chose to follow his heart and honestly said the real reason. “It’s just that Ying’er is too beautiful. At that time, 1 only took one more look and was mesmerized.”

All… Is that ail?”

Song Huaying was a little disappointed with this answer.

But very quickly, she put away the disappointment on her face and turned to her beautiful watery eyes. She smiled sweetly and said, “Then husband, you have to take a few more glances at Ying’er while she’s still young and beautiful. Otherwise, when Ying’er gets old and weak in the future, I won’t be able to show you.”

No, I will definitely find a pill for Ying’er in the future to let Ying’er retain her youth forever. 1 want to see young and beautiful Ying’er every day.”

“Husband…”

Song Huaying was touched. The corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

Chen An gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said lovingly, “Ying’er, you’ve rested enough. It’s time to continue reminiscing about every beautiful moment of the past two and a half years.”

“Ok.”

Song Huaying nodded with tears in her eyes.

Happiness always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye. The sky was already bright.

When Chen An opened his eyes again, the dark sky outside the window had completely lit up.

He looked down at his little wife who was curled up in his arms and sleeping soundly. He reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes last night and let his little wife put one of her legs on him.

Then, with a thought, he pulled out the Alchemy Technique progress bar he had been thinking about and checked the data.

[Alchemy Technique: Beginner Level 2 (2502/12500)]

“I’m already a second-grade Alchemist…”

Chen An looked at the notification in front of him. He was not as excited as he had imagined. He only felt that this was what he deserved..
