Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 213: Elder Nine Causes Trouble (12)

Steward Cave Mansion District, "Stability" Cave Mansion.

Chen An had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when Gu Xinyue eagerly pulled him into the room, her anticipation and unease evident as she asked:

"Husband, in the newly added collection of alchemy books in the Dan Hall Library, did you find any related prescriptions for treating infertility?"

"No," Chen An replied truthfully.

Gu Xinyue's mood dropped upon hearing this.

She couldn't understand why it was so difficult for her to have a child, especially since she had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

She also couldn't understand why her husband, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage and was a fourth-level alchemist, couldn't solve such a simple problem as infertility.

All his cultivation seemed to be for naught.

"Yue'er, we will have a child eventually. Don't be too anxious," Chen An comforted Gu Xinyue, his hand gently embracing her slender waist, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Gu Xinyue had long grown tired of hearing such words, as they did little to alleviate her anxiety.

Seeing his concubine so depressed, Chen An didn't know how to comfort her.

Since he couldn't comfort her emotionally, he could only try to do so physically.

"Yue'er, let's rest on the bed," he suggested.

"Okay," Gu Xinyue replied tersely.

Chen An lifted her up and walked towards the bed at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, he thought to himself that ever since their family had settled in the Heaven and Earth Sect, he hadn't used his Goldfinger for a long time, except for that brief moment when he killed the three elders.

It was easy for it to rust if left unused for too long. It was time to put it to use.

One month later.

Chen An learned that a new batch of alchemy books had been added to the Dan Hall's library.

Just like last time, he brought Wen Zhiyun with him to the Dan Hall.

After teaching Wen Zhiyun how to refine a common first-level pill, he went to the library alone, leaving Wen Zhiyun to practice in the public alchemy room.

During the time he was away from the public alchemy room, an unexpected visitor arrived, flying on a sword.

He landed with great dignity at the entrance of the Dan Hall.

The visitor was none other than Elder Nine, Cai Ziyin.

He had come to cause trouble for the Dan Hall.

In the power struggle with the Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue, he had lost the position of Dan Hall Elder, which was a juicy piece of meat.

He couldn't swallow this anger, so he could only come to the Dan Hall to vent his frustration.

"Elder Nine."

"Elder Nine."

"Elder Nine!"

...

As Cai Ziyin continued to advance into the Dan Hall, more and more disciples who had been in the Heaven and Earth Sect for many years recognized his identity and respectfully greeted him.

But Cai Ziyin ignored all the greetings.

He maintained a cold expression throughout, walking straight towards the public alchemy room.

Since he had come to cause trouble, there was no need to be polite to the disciples of the Dan Hall.

Upon entering the public alchemy room, Cai Ziyin glanced at the alchemists inside, then walked in with his hands behind his back.

With a commanding presence, he exuded an aura of confidence.

Most of the alchemists in the public alchemy room were focused on their work and didn't notice Cai Ziyin's arrival.

The few apprentices who were not as focused noticed him, but only cast a curious glance before quickly looking away, not taking it seriously.

The nine elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect have been in seclusion in the Cave Mansion for a long time, causing many disciples within the sect to not recognize them. Even if they were to see them, they might not necessarily take the initiative to greet them.

At most, they would be surprised and think, "This old man looks quite imposing, but I don't know him. Is he a steward from one of the halls?"

When no one greeted the nine elders, Cai Ziyin's expression immediately turned cold. He felt that Xiao Qingyue must have instructed the people from the Pill Hall to deliberately disgust him.

"That despicable woman, Xiao Qingyue. I will make her kneel and beg for mercy sooner or later!" Cai Ziyin thought angrily.

Just then, he saw Wen Zhiyun sitting in the corner, completely focused on alchemy. His whole being brightened up instantly.

What a beautiful woman! In terms of appearance and figure, she is no less than that despicable Xiao Qingyue!

This trip was not in vain. I want this woman!

With this thought in mind, Cai Ziyin walked straight towards Wen Zhiyun.

He had originally planned to cause trouble in the Pill Hall, but now he changed his mind and decided to take Wen Zhiyun back as his concubine.

As for Xiao Qingyue, he wasn't worried at all. After all, everyone was in the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation and wouldn't tear their faces over a mere Foundation Building disciple. In fact, everyone would consider this a way to resolve conflicts.

"You there, what's your name and when did you join the Pill Hall?" Cai Ziyin stopped in front of Wen Zhiyun and asked in a superior tone.

Wen Zhiyun looked up at Cai Ziyin, feeling unfamiliar with him, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am the ninth elder," Cai Ziyin didn't hide his identity and chose to reveal it directly.

He believed that someone like Wen Zhiyun, with her low cultivation level as a Foundation Building cultivator, would be best convinced to become his concubine if he directly showed his status and strength.

The ninth elder? Wen Zhiyun furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this, but quickly realized that this old man in front of her was a core elder with a status and position no less than that of the Sect Master.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhiyun immediately stood up from the ground and respectfully said, "Greetings, Ninth Elder."

"No need for such formalities," Cai Ziyin smiled kindly and said, "Let me introduce myself. I would like to know more about you."

Wen Zhiyun's heart sank. Growing up as a beauty that could rival a Celestial Immortal, she knew what it meant when Cai Ziyin asked about her information. It simply meant that he found her attractive and had a possessive desire.

Men, one after another, all have this kind of expression when they see a beautiful woman, wanting to possess her... Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

She respectfully introduced herself, emphasizing that she was a married woman, hoping to dispel any thoughts of possessing her from the elder in front of her.

However, to her surprise, after learning that she was a married woman, Cai Ziyin's eyes not only didn't lose interest, but instead lit up even more with curiosity.

This old man is really something. Another scoundrel who likes married women... Wen Zhiyun observed Cai Ziyin's change in expression and couldn't help but inwardly criticize.

Cai Ziyin asked with a smile, "Is your husband a steward or an elder in the Pill Hall?"

Only stewards and elders in the Pill Hall have the qualifications to take on disciples.

Wen Zhiyun answered truthfully, "Ninth Elder, my husband is a steward in the Pill Hall."

Just a steward, then I don't need to worry about anything...

Cai Ziyin thought this to himself and smiled kindly at Wen Zhiyun, saying, "Madam, would you like your husband to be promoted to an elder? The White Lotus Hall is now under my jurisdiction, and we happen to be in need of another elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An happened to return from the library and heard every word Cai Ziyin said.
