Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Marketplace, Treasure Hall.

As soon as Chen An walked in, he saw Shen Qingyi and Pan Hui sitting in the corner eating breakfast. The two of them looked close like sisters as usual.

He had no intention of going over to greet them. He only walked to Shopkeeper Liu’s side and chatted.

When Pan Hui saw him, she immediately nudged Shen Qingyi, who was beside her, and said that Alchemist Chen was here. She wondered if he could pass the Treasure Pavilion today.

Shen Qingyi only smiled and didn’t say anything.

About two hours later, it was almost noon.

Chen An did not see Deacon Li from the Treasure Pavilion. Instead, he received a secret letter from the spirit pigeon.

“Shopkeeper Liu, how do I take this letter out?”

Looking at the letter tube that was covered in runes and engraved with the words “To Chen An”, Chen An could not help but ask Shopkeeper Liu, who was in front of him.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, this is the array pattern used by the Treasure Pavilion to encrypt the letter. Only the members of our Treasure Pavilion can unlock it. Let me help you take it out.”

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu.”

As Chen An spoke, he handed over the spirit pigeon in his hand.

Shopkeeper Liu reached out and took the spirit pigeon. After a while, he took out the letter from the bamboo tube and handed it to Chen An. “Alchemist Chen, this is the envelope that Deacon Li sent you. It should be about the test results. Open it quickly and take a look.”

Chen An took the letter and opened it expectantly and nervously.

Then, in the next second, his expression instantly turned ugly.

He did not pass the test.

It was said that the quality of the Spirit Concentration Pill was not up to standard.

At the bottom of the letter, it also said that he could give another chance to refine 20 Spirit Cleansing Pills in 20 days. When the time was up, he would come over to check.

Spirit Cleansing Pill, Tier 1 medicinal pill.

The main effect was to cleanse the impurities contained in the spiritual qi in his body and increase the purity of his spiritual qi.

Although this Spirit Cleansing Pill was a Tier 1 medicinal pill, it was very difficult to refine. Even if it was a second-grade Alchemist, it was considered efficient to be able to refine one pill a day.

Refining 20 pills in 20 days was much harder than refining 2,000 Spirit Concentration Pills in 15 days.

“Alchemist Chen, what’s the result of this test?”

Seeing that Chen An’s expression was not right and that he had not said a word since opening the letter, Shopkeeper Liu could not help but ask.

Chen An did not say anything. He just handed the letter in his hand to Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu took the letter and read it. Soon, he frowned slightly and said with a puzzled expression, “That shouldn’t be the case. I’ve seen the Spirit Concentration Pills you refined. The quality is even better than these in my shop. How can the quality not be good?”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to Chen An, “Alchemist Chen, you know me. I’m a person with strong principles. I didn’t touch the 2,000 Spirit Concentration Pills that I helped you keep previously. They’re all monitored by photographic stones.”

“I’ve never doubted Shopkeeper Liu.”

Chen An smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Liu, from tomorrow onwards, I will be refining the Spirit Cleansing Pill mentioned in the letter. I will have to trouble you for the next 20 days.”

“It’s fine. It’s a small matter. Alchemist Chen will definitely pass the test this time.”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled back.

Neither of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

One was forcing a smile. One was a professional fake smile.

After chatting with Shopkeeper Liu for a while, Chen An quickly left the Treasure Hall.

Watching him leave, Pan Hui, who was sitting in the corner, could not help but reveal a surprised expression. “In the past half a month, 1 saw that Alchemist Chen always had a smile on his face every time he finished refining pills. I thought he was almost certain. I didn’t expect this outcome.”

Shen Qingyi didn’t reply and just ate her porridge silently.

However, if one took a closer look, they could still see a trace of surprise on her face.

Obviously, she was also surprised that Chen An did not pass the test.

Green Willow Alley, at home.

As soon as Chen An entered the house, his three wives welcomed him. They could not wait to know the results of the test.

However, when they saw Chen An’s ugly expression, they instantly held back and could not ask.

“Husband, you must be tired. I’ll boil water for you to bathe now.”

“Husband, I’ll cook for you.”

“Father, hug!”

“What hugs? Hurry up and practice drawing Qi into your body in the courtyard!”

As Wen Zhiyun spoke, she brought Chen Yuejian out.

Soon, she returned alone and said to Chen An with a mysterious smile, “Husband, come to my room. 1 have a surprise for you.”

“Little Yuejian is alone in the courtyard now. I’m worried. I’ll go out and see her.”

“It’s fine. I’ve already asked Ying’er to watch outside. Come to my room quickly. I really have a surprise for you.”

After saying that, Wen Zhiyun went behind Chen An and pushed him towards the room.

After half an incense stick of time, in the room.

Wen Zhiyun raised her head slightly and looked at Chen An with watery eyes. “Husband, do you like this surprise I gave you?”

“Where did you learn that?”

“Ying’er taught me something related in the past. I modified it myself.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so creative.”

Chen An stroked Wen Zhiyun’s head and liked this arrogant concubine even more.

Wen Zhiyun enjoyed being touched by him on the head. She changed her usual arrogant style and said gently, “Husband, I… I want to give you another surprise.”

After half an incense stick of time, the two of them came out of the room.

From the beginning to the end, Wen Zhiyun did not ask about the test results. She did her best to release pressure on Chen An and relieve the frustration in his heart.

“Husband, the water is boiling. Ying’er learned some new tricks a few days ago. Husband, come and experience it.”

Chen An had just walked out when Song Huaying pulled him into the bathroom.

Half an incense stick of time later, Song Huaying sat in the wooden bucket and leaned against Chen An’s chest. She raised her small face slightly and looked at him.

She said with a sweet smile, “Husband, what do you think of Ying’er’s new tricks?”

“I like it very much.”

“I’m very happy that you like it.”

After saying that, Song Huaying began to play her new tricks again. She wanted to try her best to divert her husband’s disappointment from failing the test.

Half an incense stick of time later, the family of five sat together.

The dishes were sumptuous: Ten dishes and two soups.

“Husband, try this braised spirit prawn.”

“This White Cut Spirit Chicken tastes so fresh. Husband, quickly try it!”

“Husband, this cold green melon was specially made by Yue’er with honey marinade. It’s sour and sweet and especially delicious. Come, I’ll pick up a piece for you to try.”

His three wives kept putting food into Chen An’s bowl.

Seeing this, the little daughter followed suit and placed a boiled spirit vegetable in Chen An’s bowl. She smiled like a flower and said, “Father, eat grass!”

“Pfft!”

“Goose, goose, goose, goose…”

Chen An was amused by his daughter Chen Yuejian’s words. He couldn’t help but laugh, and the gloominess in his heart instantly lessened by more than half.

The three wives were also overjoyed.

Spiritual vegetables could even be called grass.

Little Yuejian saw that this was too silly and cute, right?

Chen Yuejian didn’t know what her parents were laughing about, but when she saw that they were all laughing, she smiled too. Her small face was filled with a bright smile.

In an instant, the room was filled with a happy atmosphere..
