Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 119: Wen Zhiyun is about to give birth (12)

[Swordsmanship +1, Gold Spirit Root Aptitude +1] x66

[Swordsmanship: Mastery (2089/2500)]

[Gold Spirit Root: Superior (2023/2500)]

Late at night, during the hour of the Tiger.

Chen An lay on a slightly damp bamboo bed, one hand resting behind his head, the other embracing Shen Qingyi, whose hair was slightly disheveled and whose face had a faint blush. His gaze fell on the prompt message in front of him.

When he saw the levels of his swordsmanship and spirit root, he couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time had passed.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed since the day he had a relationship with Shen Qingyi.

His swordsmanship had reached the level of mastery, only 400 experience points away from reaching the grandmaster level.

His gold spirit root had also reached the superior level, only 400 experience points away from reaching the peak level.

His own aptitude was getting better day by day.

From being a waste with only Qi Refining third level aptitude after nearly thirty years of cultivation, he now had a peak physique that could break through a small realm in less than half a year.

Looking back, it felt incredibly unbelievable.

He wouldn't even dare to dream about it.

But now it had all become reality.

It had even brought him wives and concubines with almost perfect appearances and figures.

It was too surreal.

The days were about to become overwhelmingly sweet.

Thinking about this, Chen An's gaze fell on Shen Qingyi in his arms. He reached out and tidied her messy hair, soothingly saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I know it's difficult for you to not take action against evil. But this is a choice we have to make."

"Our strength is too weak, and many times we have to accept some cruel facts and endure as much as possible."

"But don't worry, with my aptitude, I will soon achieve the Gold Core stage and fear no one, not even the Crimson Fire Gang."

"At that time, I will be your support, allowing you to punish evil and uphold your own justice in Hundred Herbs Lane, and even in the Red Cedar Forest."

When he said the last sentence, Chen An was already somewhat exaggerating.

With his current personality, let alone achieving the Gold Core stage, even if he achieved the Nascent Soul stage, he wouldn't draw his sword to help others unless they had offended him.

Otherwise, he would refrain from taking action if he could.

But at this moment, in order to comfort Shen Qingyi, he had to paint these grand pictures, and he had to paint a lot of them.

In comparison, Shen Qingyi didn't have as many twists and turns.

She would listen to whatever Chen An said.

After hearing Chen An's grand promises, she chose to believe.

She rarely nestled in Chen An's arms and spoke softly, "Hmm, I believe in Master Chen."

Chen An smiled and didn't say anything, just gently kissed Shen Qingyi's face and held her tighter.

Before long, it was dawn.

The warm rays of the sun sprinkled on the earth, bringing a hint of warmth.

At this moment, Chen An woke up.

But Shen Qingyi was still asleep.

Chen An covered Shen Qingyi with the blanket and quickly got up, dressed, and left the room.

He casually found something to eat in the kitchen and soon entered the alchemy room to start another day of making money through alchemy.

Time passed quickly.

Unknowingly, a morning had passed.

Chen An extinguished the alchemical fire and opened his own panel to check the data.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Foundation Building third level]

[Alchemy: Intermediate Level 2 (13865/62500)]

[Spiritual Consciousness: Intermediate Level 2 (19995/62500)]

[Fire Spirit Root: Superior Grade (1808/2500)]

[Gold Spirit Root: Superior Grade (2023/2500)]

[Various Spells: Goldfinger (Grandmaster Level), Sleep Aid Technique (Master Level), Shadow Killing Technique (Master Level), etc.]

[Spirit Stones: 18 Medium Grade, 88 Low Grade]

[Spouses: Song Huaying (4 stars), Gu Xinyue (4 stars), Wen Zhiyun (4 stars), Shen Qingyi (not yet married)]

[Descendants: Chen Yuejian (2 stars), Unnamed (November half)]

Chen An glanced at the panel and his gaze fell on the attribute column of the spirit stones.

One word, poor!

Ever since he learned to use alchemy to refine spirit stones for cultivation,

No matter how many spirit stones he had, it was not enough to burn.

But the good news was that his cultivation speed had increased significantly.

The benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

"It seems that I will have to work harder to refine pills and earn spirit stones in the future."

Chen An muttered to himself.

Then, with a thought, he clicked on his daughter Chen Yuejian's attributes.

[Name: Chen Yuejian]

[Cultivation: None]

[Attributes: Clever and quick-witted, exceptional comprehension]

[Emotions: 2 stars (458/500)]

"Just 42 points of experience left."

"I should be able to level up in a month."

"I wonder what rewards I will receive."

Chen An murmured as he looked at the emotion attribute.

Then he fell into deep thought.

He thought about where he could receive system rewards in the near future.

First, a breakthrough in father-daughter relationship.

Second, the birth of Wen Zhiyun's child.

Thinking about it, it seemed that these were the only two places.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Daddy, where are you?"

Lost in thought, Chen An suddenly heard his daughter Chen Yuejian calling from outside the door.

The voice sounded a bit urgent and excited.

Chen An put away the panel, and with a thought, he opened the door of the alchemy room and called out to his daughter outside, "Daddy is here."

"Daddy!"

Chen Yuejian called out.

Then she ran into the alchemy room and stood in front of Chen An with a smile on her face, saying, "Daddy, I just learned a song from Mommy. I'll play it for you!"

"Great, Daddy is listening."

Chen An smiled expectantly.

Soon, Chen Yuejian picked up the bamboo flute in her hand and started playing it skillfully.

The sound of the flute was melodious and pleasant, like the murmuring of flowing water.

Chen An was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect his two-year-old daughter to actually know how to play the flute, and she played it quite well.

She had some artistic talent.

After a moment, the song came to an end.

Chen Yuejian put down the flute and eagerly asked with anticipation on her little face, "Daddy, did I play well?"

"Very well, Xiaoyue is amazing. She is a talented artist and will definitely grow up to be a beautiful and talented fairy."

Chen An praised sincerely, without any hint of encouragement.

Chen Yuejian listened with joy, her face beaming with a brilliant smile, "I am a genius, Daddy, I am a genius!"

[You praised your daughter Chen Yuejian as a genius, making her feel overjoyed. Father-daughter relationship +10.]

"Just +10?"

Chen An looked at the prompt message that appeared out of nowhere and felt a little surprised.

But upon further thought, he felt it was reasonable.

Children always long for their parents' approval.

As parents, a simple encouragement and recognition can deepen the bond between themselves and their children.

"It seems that it won't take more than a month to raise this father-daughter relationship to a 3-star level. Three days will be enough."

Chen An smiled silently in his heart as he looked at his extremely happy daughter.

...

Half an hour later.

Chen An flew away from home on his sword, heading to the Qin Family Trading Company to sell the recently refined Little Returning Pill.

Just like last time, he earned one high-grade spirit stone.

If it was just for maintaining daily life, it was quite a lot.

But if it was for cultivation, it was far from enough.

Worried!

After leaving the Qin Family Trading Company.

Chen An didn't waste any time and flew back home on his sword.

While passing through the Hundred Herbs Lane market.

He thought for a moment and felt that he should buy some gifts for his wife and daughters, so he landed his sword.

In the past, when buying gifts for his wives and concubines, he usually bought the same thing.

This time.

He decided to buy different gifts for each wife and concubine, a personalized version of "matching the gift to the person."

"Fellow Daoist, I have freshly cooked monster meat here. Do you want to buy some and taste it?"

"Fellow Daoist, all the female cultivators here are beautiful. Seeing that you are handsome, I will only charge you half price. Do you want to come in and have some fun?"

"Fellow Daoist, I have high-quality Enchanting Pills. One pill can bring a wife back home. I only sell them for one medium-grade spirit stone. Interested?"

"..."

Chen An walked through the market, with vendors on both sides shouting, creating a lively atmosphere.

But he didn't pay too much attention to them.

Too poor.

No money to spend.

Nowadays, besides the necessities for cultivation, the only place he was willing to spend money was on gifts for his wives and daughters.

Soon.

Based on the different preferences of his wives and concubines at home, Chen An entered different shops to buy gifts.

He entered a musical instrument shop and bought a jade flute to give to Song Huaying.

He entered a trading company and bought a book about culinary arts to give to Gu Xinyue.

He entered a clothing store and bought a sexy Taoist robe with a strong contrast to give to Wen Zhiyun.

He entered a pastry shop and bought a box of various flavors of spirit cakes to give to Chen Yuejian.

When it was time to buy a gift for Shen Qingyi.

Chen An suddenly hesitated.

For a moment, he didn't know what to buy.

Although he had a close relationship with Shen Qingyi now and had had several deep conversations in the night, he really didn't know Shen Qingyi's preferences.

The only thing he knew was that Shen Qingyi was enthusiastic about punishing evil and promoting justice.

After some thought,

Chen An decided to buy a piece of jewelry for Shen Qingyi.

He bought a bracelet.

It wasn't expensive, just 2 low-grade spirit stones.

The important thing was the thought behind it.

Chen An calculated the prices of the five gifts and found that it cost less than 10 low-grade spirit stones in total.

It was quite affordable.

Just as he was about to fly away on his sword, a noisy commotion suddenly came from ahead.

"You want me to be patient?"

"I've already given you three days of patience. If you don't pay the stall fee, I'll smash your stall right now!"

"Qiu, I've already paid the stall fee to Yan before. Now you want to collect it again, plus the monthly protection fee. I really can't come up with it at the moment. Can you give me three more days?"

"Huh, more patience?"

"You guys, smash this person's stall for me!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

With the sound of smashing, several members of the Crimson Fire Gang smashed the stall of a Qi Refining Stage vendor to pieces.

Seeing his stall being destroyed, the vendor dared not speak out in anger and could only shed silent tears.

"If you don't have money, don't come to the market to set up a stall like others. I'll smash you every time I see you in the future!"

After leaving these harsh words,

Qiu, the manager of the Crimson Fire Gang, led his subordinates and left, leaving behind a mess.

After the members of the Crimson Fire Gang had gone far away,

many nearby vendors came to comfort the vendor whose stall had been smashed.

"Fellow Daoist Li, there's no obstacle in life that can't be overcome. Just take it as a rest for yourself."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Li, your wife is so beautiful. Go back and enjoy a few days, and all your worries will be gone."

"Fellow Daoist Li, we all know the quality of the talismans you sell. In the future, we'll come to your house to buy talismans whether you set up a stall or not. It won't affect your income."

Some people comforted, while others cursed.

They cursed the members of the Crimson Fire Gang.

"Damn it, the Crimson Fire Gang really doesn't treat us low-level Independent Cultivators as human beings. We've already paid the stall fee once, and now they want to collect it again when someone else takes over. Are they animals or what?"

"They really don't regard us Independent Cultivators at the bottom as human beings. Not only do they charge high protection fees, but they also come up with all kinds of additional fees. Do they want us to die?"

"Ah, I wonder where that masked heroine from some time ago has gone. It would be great if she were here."

When the masked heroine who often came out to punish evil was mentioned, many people in the crowd felt regretful, hoping that she would return to the world.

Chen An silently listened to all of this, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

Just now, when the members of the Crimson Fire Gang bullied the Independent Cultivators, even he, who usually had a calm personality, felt extremely angry and even wanted to take action.

He thought that with Shen Qingyi's personality, she would probably feel ten times or even a hundred times worse than he did when she saw such things happening.

But now he didn't allow Shen Qingyi to come out and punish evil, which undoubtedly tortured her.

"Ah, this is life."

"The only thing I can do now is to improve my strength and strive to become invincible in Hundred Herbs Lane, and even in Red Cedar Forest."

"By then, maybe I can let her do something she likes a little bit."

With these thoughts in mind, Chen An couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt towards Shen Qingyi.

Just then, the sound transmission talisman in his storage bag suddenly trembled repeatedly.

With a thought, he took it out and heard Song Huaying's excited voice from inside.

"Husband, come back quickly!"

"Wen sister is about to give birth!"
