Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 42: Discussing Matters

A few days later.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

The air outside was filled with freshness.

There was a slight chill from the rain last night.

Chen An slowly opened his eyes and found his daughter, Chen Yuejian, sleeping sweetly on his chest, with drool flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Turning his head slightly, he saw his wife, Song Huaying, sleeping soundly just like their daughter, with a bit of drool at the corner of her mouth.

Indeed, they were truly related.

Both mother and daughter had a habit of drooling in their sleep.

Chen An smiled wryly.

After wiping away the drool from both mother and daughter, he quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

He went to the alchemy room to take out some of the pills he had recently refined.

He wanted to send them to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

...

At the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Chen An walked in with a medicine box on his back.

At this hour, the lower-level cultivators inside were already working.

They all looked like they hadn't fully woken up yet.

They had heavy dark circles under their eyes.

Their spirits were extremely low.

Chen An felt a bit sympathetic as he looked at them. He didn't know how many people would be exhausted to death today.

It truly was a dog-eat-dog society.

Cultivators didn't see mortals as equals.

Powerful cultivators didn't see lower-level cultivators as equals either.

There was no exploitation, only more exploitation.

Quickly passing by these lower-level cultivators, Chen An arrived at the inspection area.

A steward of the Bamboo Leaf Gang in charge of logistics took the medicine box from him and carefully inspected the contents.

After a moment of inspection, the steward smiled and jokingly said, "Master Chen, your alchemy skills have improved a lot. You might become a second-tier alchemist in the future."

"You flatter me, Steward Hong," Chen An politely replied with a smile.

After Steward Hong took out all the pills from the medicine box, Chen An picked up the box and turned to leave. He didn't want to stay in this place for too long, as it made him feel uncomfortable.

But before he could take two steps, Steward Hong called him back.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Master Chen. Starting from tomorrow, the supply of these pills will increase by twenty percent."

Another twenty percent increase?

The value of the supply of these pills would already exceed 200 low-grade spirit stones.

Chen An furrowed his brows slightly.

Although he felt dissatisfied, he remained calm and said, "Alright, I understand."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back.

Endure for now.

Once his cultivation level improved, he would definitely take back what he deserved from the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Leaving the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, Chen An returned home first to fill the empty medicine box, and then went out again.

Instead of going to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, he went to a market in the city to sell the pills.

Nowadays, he worked hard every day.

After refining pills for the Bamboo Leaf Gang, he would find extra time to continue refining pills for himself.

He would then sell them in the market.

Arriving at the market, Chen An didn't set up a stall. Instead, he went straight to a commercial firm in the market.

This commercial firm did not belong to the Bamboo Leaf Gang, but to an organization called the Treasure Pavilion.

This organization had branches all over Xuanhuang City.

Whether it was the Bamboo Leaf Gang, the Black Iron Mountain Villa, or any other sect or faction, they all had a branch of this commercial firm called the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion was protected by the Mysterious Yellow Sect.

Therefore, even if the Black Iron Mountain Villa and the Bamboo Leaf Gang were at odds with each other, the Treasure Pavilion would not be affected in the slightest.

After all, the Mysterious Yellow Sect was a major sect with a Nascent Soul stage expert presiding over it.

No one dared to offend them.

Entering the Treasure Pavilion, Chen An skillfully walked to the counter and sold all the pills from the medicine box.

The purchase price was not high.

It was about ten percent less than the price he would get from selling them at a stall.

Although he was losing a bit, it saved him the time of setting up a stall.

Chen An, at this stage, no longer has time to set up a stall.

He can only choose to sell to Treasure Pavilion.

"Master Chen, the quality of your pills is getting better and better. At this rate of improvement, I feel that in another ten years, you have a chance to become a second-tier alchemist."

Just like the steward Hong from the Bamboo Leaf Gang's logistics department, Liu, the shopkeeper of Treasure Pavilion, couldn't help but praise.

Chen An responded in the same way, "Shopkeeper Liu, you are too kind."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of the special nature of Treasure Pavilion and wanted to find a backer for himself.

So he asked Shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper Liu, I want to ask, how can I join Treasure Pavilion and become a member?"

"That depends on which position you want to become."

"Is there a position related to alchemy?"

"There definitely is, but at least you have to be a second-tier alchemist to qualify, and there are requirements in terms of cultivation and other aspects."

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard and smiled.

The requirements are quite high...

Chen An pondered for a moment and then thanked Shopkeeper Liu with a smile, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu, for enlightening me."

In the next while, the two of them chatted casually when they had nothing else to do.

Shopkeeper Liu was just passing the time.

Chen An, on the other hand, wanted to learn some things.

For example, he asked Shopkeeper Liu about the battle between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Mountain Villa.

The answer he got was that the Bamboo Leaf Gang was slightly at a disadvantage.

Shopkeeper Liu said that both the Black Iron Mountain Villa and the Bamboo Leaf Gang had the support of a Gold Core Ancestor.

According to rumors, the Gold Core Ancestor behind the Black Iron Mountain Villa was stronger.

That's why the Black Iron Mountain Villa dared to directly attack the Bamboo Leaf Gang at night.

After getting a simple understanding, Chen An saw that it was almost time and bid farewell to Shopkeeper Liu.

Before leaving, he spent all the spirit stones he earned from selling pills.

He bought various talismans from Treasure Pavilion.

The situation in Bamboo Leaf Forest is too unfavorable now, and he needs these talismans for self-protection.

...

When he returned home.

It was already late.

Because she had to take care of the children, Song Huaying had already gone to bed with her daughter Chen Yuejian.

Wen Zhiyun was cultivating bitterly in her room.

In the spacious hall.

There was only Gu Xinyue alone.

Waiting for her husband to come home.

"Husband!"

Seeing Chen An return, Gu Xinyue immediately greeted him with a smile on her pretty face, looking less cold than before.

Chen An felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw her change.

"Yue'er, let's go, follow me to the alchemy room to learn about alchemy."

"Okay."

With just a simple exchange, the two quickly entered the adjacent alchemy room.

After about the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn...

[Spiritual Sense Intensity +2]

[Spiritual Sense Intensity +2]

[Spiritual Sense Intensity +2]

After refining his spiritual sense intensity a little, Chen An began teaching Gu Xinyue about alchemy knowledge in earnest.

Starting from the basics.

For example, the classification of medicinal materials, the recycling of medicinal residues, how to maintain the alchemy furnace, and so on.

The reason for teaching these things was to train her to become his alchemy assistant.

As for helping with alchemy, that was out of the question.

Alchemy requires talent, not everyone can learn it.

After finishing teaching alchemy knowledge and taking a bath together, Gu Xinyue quickly went back to her room to sleep.

Chen An wasn't sleepy yet, so he went back to the alchemy room to make money through alchemy.

Just as he was about to close the door of the alchemy room, a graceful figure appeared in front of him.

It was Wen Zhiyun.

At this moment, she was not wearing a loose Daoist robe, but a set of plain white fitted brocade clothes, which outlined her delicate and curvaceous figure.

"Chen An, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Wen Zhiyun pursed her thin lips and walked into the alchemy room, closing the door behind her.
