Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 76 Testing (23)

Before long, the three of them finished their porridge.

Pan Hui went home.

Shen Qingyi went out to punish evil and promote justice.

Chen An returned to his original spot and sat down, waiting for the people from Treasure Pavilion to come and check the accounts.

After more than half an hour.

A fat man with a rich appearance walked in from outside.

The shopkeeper Liu inside immediately opened the cabinet in front of him and took out a sandalwood box from inside.

He quickly walked towards the man, with a pleasing smile on his face, and handed the sandalwood box in his hand over, saying, "Manager Li, long time no see. This is a small token of my appreciation."

"Shopkeeper Liu is too polite."

Manager Li smiled and took the sandalwood box. When he opened it and looked inside, his smile grew even wider.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but feel happy and asked with a humble attitude, "Manager Li, what about the account verification this time..."

"It has been checked, and there are no problems. Shopkeeper Liu is honest and upright. After I go back, I will definitely convey and report truthfully. I will not mistreat anyone who is loyal and performs their duties."

Manager Li guaranteed.

With that, the account check was over.

The shopkeeper Liu chatted with Manager Li for a few more words.

Then he glanced at Chen An and gestured for him to come over.

Chen An got up and went over.

After he came over, the shopkeeper Liu immediately introduced him to Manager Li, saying, "Manager Li, this friend of mine is named Chen An. He is a newly promoted second-rank alchemist. He wants to apply to join Treasure Pavilion. I wonder if there are any spots left this year?"

The position of alchemist in Treasure Pavilion only has a limited number of spots available each year. Many second-rank alchemists may not be able to get in even if they break their heads.

Relationships are sometimes more important than strength.

The reason why the shopkeeper Liu is willing to help Chen An is purely out of the intention to make connections.

Once Chen An successfully joins Treasure Pavilion, and he is the one who helped Chen An a lot, then his future in Treasure Pavilion will be even more prosperous.

Maybe he can leave this remote place called Bamboo Leaf Forest soon and go to work in Treasure Pavilion.

Manager Li looked Chen An up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Not bad. Master Chen is already at the second rank in alchemy before his temples turn white. This kind of alchemy talent truly amazes me."

"Manager Li is too kind."

Chen An politely smiled and replied.

Manager Li continued, "Master Chen, if you want to join Treasure Pavilion, breaking through to the second rank in alchemy is far from enough. You also need to meet other requirements."

"Please speak, Manager Li."

Chen An said.

Manager Li smiled and said, "Master Chen, alchemy rank is just a level. Many times, it cannot fully reflect the strength of an alchemist, such as pill success rate, alchemy efficiency, and alchemy endurance."

"Therefore, if you want to apply to join Treasure Pavilion, you must demonstrate these three abilities. Only then can I recommend you."

With that, he added, "How about this, I will provide you with the materials for refining Qi Condensation Pills. If you can refine 2,000 Qi Condensation Pills within half a month, it will prove that your comprehensive abilities in these three aspects are qualified."

"2,000 pills in half a month?"

Chen An thought he misheard.

Qi Condensation Pills are first-rank pills with a high demand and cheap raw materials. They are the first choice for many low-rank alchemists to make money.

Before he had the system reward for the Heartbreak Pill formula, he basically relied on refining Qi Condensation Pills to make a living.

Therefore, he knew very well that refining 2,000 Qi Condensation Pills in half a month means he has to refine an average of more than 133 pills per day. This is an extremely difficult task.

Moreover, it is a special period now, and he also needs to provide pills to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. This combined together is simply a hellish difficulty.

Seeing Chen An's worried expression, Manager Li smiled and said, "Master Chen, it's not easy to enter Treasure Pavilion. If you can't do it, then I can only express my regret."

"Manager Li, I have confidence in completing this test."

Chen An smiled and said. Since the other party will provide the materials for refining pills and he won't lose anything, at most he will lose some time, why not give it a try?

Upon hearing this, Manager Li smiled and said that the test will start tomorrow. He will provide the refining materials, and the shopkeeper Liu will provide the alchemy room and supervise.

At the same time, Chen An is required to record the entire process of refining pills with a recording stone to prevent cheating.

Chen An had no objections. When Manager Li was about to leave, he also gave him some spirit stones as a token of appreciation.

After Manager Li left, the shopkeeper Liu looked at Chen An with a smile and said, "Master Chen, you must pass the test. I still hope to rely on you for care in the future."

"I will do my best."

After saying that, Chen An asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, how much do you sell the recording stones for?"

"As a friendly price, 1 low-grade spirit stone."

"Please give me 3 recording stones."

"......"

After leaving the Treasure Shop,

Chen An went to the lingerie store in the market to buy a sexy bellyband for each of his three wives, as a gift to give them when he returns home from his trip.

Then, he went to the pastry shop and bought a box of spirit cakes made from a mixture of spirit rice and spirit fruit, to satisfy his daughter Chen Yuejian's craving.

Carrying a cloth bag containing the three bellybands,

And thinking about the three pieces of souvenir stone in his pocket,

Chen An's pace quickened as he headed home.

......

Green Willow Lane, his home.

As soon as Chen An pushed open the gate of the courtyard, his wives and daughters came out to greet him.

Among them, his daughter Chen Yuejian ran over.

She ran to Chen An, raised her chubby little face, opened her small short hands, and blinked her eyes, saying, "Daddy, hug!"

"Alright, Daddy will hug little Yuejian."

Chen An said as he handed the box of spirit cakes in his hand to Chen Yuejian, and then hugged her in his arms with one hand.

Chen Yuejian smelled the fragrance coming from the box and couldn't wait to open it. When she saw the colorful spirit cakes inside, she immediately reached out to grab them and eat.

Song Huaying, who had just come over, immediately reached out and slapped her, scolding, "You little girl, you've been playing in the backyard all day with flowers and plants, and you dare to eat something without washing your hands. Do you want to get a stomachache?"

"Daddy..."

Chen Yuejian looked at Chen An with a face full of grievances, dragging out the word "Daddy" for a long time.

Chen An's voice was gentle as he said, "Little Yuejian, be good, listen to your mother, wait until you go inside and wash your hands before eating."

[You upheld the dignity of your wife Song Huaying in front of your daughter, increasing your marital affection by +1.]

"Husband, what would you like to eat later? I'll make it for you now."

Gu Xinyue walked up and said.

Chen An looked at her fair and coldly beautiful face and teasingly said, "Husband wants to eat you later."

Gu Xinyue blushed instantly.

Wen Zhiyun, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to slap Chen An, glaring at him, "How can you say such things in front of your daughter? What kind of father are you?"

"It was my oversight."

Chen An realized deeply that he lacked experience in taking care of his daughter. He thought that tonight he would let Wen Zhiyun be his daughter and learn how to be a father.

......

The daytime passed in the blink of an eye.

After his daughter fell asleep,

Chen An called his three wives into the room and gave them the bellybands he bought today.

Song Huaying's was pink.

Gu Xinyue's was blue.

Wen Zhiyun's was red.

Song Huaying really liked this gift and thought her husband had a lot of taste.

Gu Xinyue's face turned slightly red.

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes out of habit.

"Alright, it's getting late, go take a bath and rest in your rooms. Later, I will come to each of your rooms and give you a full-body massage to reward you for your hard work."

"Thank you, husband. Ying'er loves you!"

"Thank you, husband."

"Hehe, you must have some ulterior motive. I've already taken a bath, I'm going to sleep now, don't disturb me from getting an early rest for my pregnancy."

"......"

After his wives dispersed,

Chen An took out the three pieces of souvenir stone he bought at the Treasure Shop today, hesitating which beautiful wife's room to visit first, so they could appreciate his charming words and smiles in their daily lives.

In life, one must learn to leave behind memories of their youth, recording every beautiful moment of their youth.

This way, when they become old and useless in the future, they can appreciate each other's youthful beauty instead of having vague memories.
