Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 38: Enemy Attack

[You communicated with your wife, Gu Xinyue, all night. Mental strength +2.] x18

[You demonstrated the Goldfinger technique to your wife, Gu Xinyue. Goldfinger proficiency +2.] x25

The next morning, Chen An sat up in bed.

First, he glanced at the prompt message, then had a thought and opened his own information panel.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Fifth Layer]

[Pill Technique: First Rank Intermediate (463/500)]

[Mental Strength: First Rank Intermediate (424/500)]

[Goldfinger: Proficient (289/500)]

[Sleep Aid Technique: Beginner (22/100)]

[Spouse: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue]

[Descendant: Chen Yuejian]

"It's almost there. Both my pill cultivation and mental strength are about to break through to the First Rank Advanced," Chen An said with a satisfied smile on his face.

In order to break through as soon as possible, he had been working diligently for the past few days.

A few days later, both his pill cultivation and mental strength broke through.

In the morning, his pill cultivation successfully broke through to the First Rank Advanced.

[Pill Technique: First Rank Advanced (502/2500)]

Chen An couldn't wait to go into the alchemy room to test his pill cultivation.

The success rate of pill refinement doubled.

The efficiency of alchemy increased by more than five times.

His income greatly increased.

As long as he worked diligently every day and spent six hours refining pills, his monthly income could increase to around 80 low-grade spirit stones.

In addition to his current savings, even if he had to bear the rent alone, he could support himself until his pill cultivation broke through to the Second Rank.

Not to mention that he was currently sharing the rent with Wen Zhiyun, only needing to pay 50 low-grade spirit stones per month.

Now, the rent problem was completely solved.

He could even save a lot of spirit stones every month to improve his life.

In the afternoon, his mental strength also successfully broke through to the First Rank Advanced.

[Mental Strength: First Rank Advanced (500/2500)]

At the moment of his mental strength breakthrough, Chen An felt a warm feeling falling on his head, as if his delicate wife was gently stroking him with her soft hands, giving him a sense of comfort and bliss.

However, this feeling didn't last long. With a sudden surge of consciousness, his whole brain became unusually clear and empty.

At this moment, Chen An could clearly feel that his five senses had reached a higher level.

His vision range increased to 500 meters, allowing him to see any mosquito within a radius of 500 meters.

His hearing range was the same.

At this moment, even through several houses and dozens of walls, he could clearly hear the sound of a bamboo bed shaking in a house hundreds of meters away, hearing every detail clearly.

"So powerful..."

"Now, even a Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator's senses may not be better than mine."

"Invincible at the same level!"

Chen An couldn't contain his excitement.

In the evening, he told his wives about this good news.

His wives were so happy that they pulled him into the room to celebrate.

For several days in a row, Wen Zhiyun in the next room couldn't sleep well.

Almost every night, she couldn't sleep at all.

...

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

On this day, the two-month-long operation to eliminate undercover agents by the Bamboo Leaf Gang came to an end.

During these 60 days, the Enforcement Hall of the Bamboo Leaf Gang exposed a total of 48 undercover agents from the Black Iron Mountain Villa.

39 were killed.

The remaining 9 were taken to exchange hostages with the Black Iron Mountain Villa.

In the morning, Chen An carried a medicine box and went out to the market to sell pills.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw many neighbors chatting outside.

"The operation to eliminate undercover agents finally ended. We no longer have to live in fear every day, worrying that we might be mistakenly killed by the Ning Clan."

"Yeah, life can finally be a bit peaceful."

"Only you alchemists and talisman makers are well-off and don't have to worry about paying rent. As cultivators like me who don't have any skills, we would rather have operations to eliminate undercover agents every month, so that at least we don't have to worry about rent."

"Fellow Daoist Han is joking. Even auxiliary cultivators like us who have low cultivation levels can only live comfortably when the situation is stable. Once the situation becomes chaotic, those of us without self-defense abilities are often the first to die."

"Everyone should be prepared in the near future. Now that the operation to eliminate undercover agents is over, it won't be long before the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Mountain Villa go to war."

"I'm not worried at all. I prepared various goods more than a month ago."

"..."

The neighbors chatted with each other, enjoying the rare peace during this period of time.

At this moment, someone noticed Chen An and immediately teased him, "Master Chen, you finally came out. It's been at least a month since we last saw you."

Others said, "Hey, he has two beautiful wives at home. If I were him, I wouldn't come out either. I would enjoy the service of my wives every day."

"What do you mean by 'two wives and concubines'? Fellow Daoist Chen Dan still has a Warm Fellow Daoist in his house."

"You didn't mention it, and I almost forgot. Our Bamboo Leaf Forest's rare flower has been picked by Chen Dan. It's truly enviable."

"It seems that Chen Dan knows how to enjoy."

"..."

Originally, everyone was just teasing Chen An for often staying indoors, but as they talked, the topic shifted to Wen Zhiyun. The more they talked, the more incredulous they felt, as if they were dreaming.

Wen Zhiyun used to have high standards.

She wouldn't even look at Foundation Building cultivators.

So why did she suddenly fall for Chen An, a Qi Refining cultivator at the fifth level?

There were second-tier alchemists who pursued Wen Zhiyun before, but she never accepted any of them.

Could it be just because Chen An is handsome?

Everyone was puzzled and continued to gossip about the relationship between Wen Zhiyun and Chen An.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud sound of a window opening came from behind Chen An's room.

The next second, the voice of Wen Zhiyun, the intellectual young woman, sounded:

"Who said we're partners? When did I become his partner? If you tarnish my reputation again, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Wen Zhiyun's voice was fierce, and it scared the neighbors outside into silence.

This rare flower not only looked good but also had considerable strength in the core area.

The most crucial thing was that she held grudges, which made many cultivators unwilling to offend her.

Chen An turned around and glanced at Wen Zhiyun.

In the instant their eyes met, Wen Zhiyun immediately averted her gaze and closed the window, afraid to make eye contact with him.

This was a shy expression of liking someone.

"Has love blossomed over time?"

Chen An smiled, thinking that his approach of luring Wen Zhiyun to share a house with him was the right move.

As long as people of similar age lived under the same roof for a long time, feelings would naturally develop.

The premise was not being too ugly.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

That evening, the family finished dinner and took a walk in the yard.

Chen An held his one-month-old daughter and made funny faces to amuse her, causing her to occasionally burst into laughter.

"Husband, Yuejian is so smart. She can laugh at just over a month old," Song Huaying exclaimed with joy.

It was the first time she had heard her daughter's laughter.

Based on her previous knowledge, infants usually took two to three months to learn to laugh.

Could a child with spiritual roots not be intelligent?

Thinking this, Chen An smiled and said, "That's because her mother is smart and clever, and she inherited her mother's wisdom."

"Husband, you have such a sweet mouth. Let me taste it."

With a face full of smiles from the praise, Song Huaying took a step forward, tiptoed, and gave her husband a kiss.

"Husband, it's sweet."

Song Huaying smiled sweetly, causing Chen An to lose focus for a moment.

Gu Xinyue, who was beside them, looked at them with envy.

She also wanted to playfully tease her husband like Song Huaying, but her reserved and conservative nature prevented her from doing so.

Equally envious was Wen Zhiyun, who was meditating in her room.

She heard the commotion outside and couldn't concentrate on her cultivation.

Now she was waiting every day for Chen An to break through this barrier.

But Chen An just wouldn't make a move.

He never took the initiative, which made her feel anxious.

She had thought about taking the initiative, but every time, she couldn't let go of her usual aloof and proud attitude.

Chen An knew what she was thinking but refused to take the initiative.

Because for someone as proud as her, taking the initiative meant submitting and completely losing her dignity.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from a distance.

The whole ground shook.

Song Huaying couldn't stand steady and fell backward.

Fortunately, Chen An reacted quickly and caught her, pulling her into his arms.

"Wah...wah...wah!"

Their daughter in his arms cried loudly in fear.

Wen Zhiyun came out of the room and hurriedly asked Chen An, "What happened?"

Chen An shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Many neighbors came out of their houses to see what had happened outside.

For a while, the entire Green Willow Lane became noisy.

Everyone was discussing what had happened to cause such a commotion.

Just as everyone was confused, the cultivators from the Black Iron Mountain Villa stationed in the core area suddenly shouted:

"Enemy attack!"

"There's an enemy attack!"

"The people from Black Iron Mountain Villa are coming!"
