[Fire-type Spiritual Root aptitude+1]
[Fire-type Spiritual Root: Low-grade (1/100)]
The next morning, Chen An woke up early in the morning. Looking at the notification that popped up in front of him, he could not tell if he was happy or disappointed.
He originally thought that he could simply increase his cultivation, but in the end, what increased was his spiritual root aptitude, not his cultivation.
However, on second thought, he felt that it seemed quite good to be able to increase the aptitude of his Fire-type Spiritual Root.
This was because the higher the grade of the Fire-type Spiritual Root, the better his control over fire as an Alchemist.
The efficiency and quality of alchemy would also increase because of this.
Not to mention, the increase in spiritual root aptitude was also very beneficial to ordinary cultivation. It could increase the speed and upper limit of cultivation.
A low-grade spiritual root could allow one to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
A mid-grade spiritual root could form a Golden Core.
A high-grade spiritual root could form a Nascent Soul.
And so on. Further up were top-grade spiritual roots, saint-grade spiritual roots, immortal-grade spiritual roots, divine-grade spiritual roots…
The more Chen An thought about it, the more excited he became.
He felt that increasing the aptitude of his spiritual root was not inferior to increasing his cultivation.
It might even be better.
But what was the specifics?
That would depend on how much his cultivation speed could increase after his spiritual root aptitude increased.
With that thought in mind, Chen An opened Wen Zhiyun’s interface.
[Name: Wen Zhiyun]
[Attribute: Devastatingly Beautiful, Excellent Innate Ability]
[Emotion: 1 star (l/ioo)]
[Provided Fire-type Spiritual Root aptitude: 1]
“Excellent innate ability?”
“As expected, my companion’s cultivation talent is higher than ordinary Cultivators.”
Chen An couldn’t help but smile silently as he thought about it. He finally confirmed his guess.
He covered Wen Zhiyun with a blanket.
Then, he put on his clothes.
Chen An quickly got out of bed and left the room. He planned to fill his stomach before going to refine pills.
After last night, he and Wen Zhiyun were no longer renting together.
It was a companion relationship.
Or rather, they were husband and wife.
Either way, it didn’t make much of a difference to him.
Because now he could treat everyone equally.
After washing up briefly,
Chen An came to the hall and saw his wife sitting at the dining table with her daughter in her arms, feeding her breakfast.
They ate porridge.
Her daughter was already more than nine months old.
She had long been weaned.
Now, not only could she eat porridge, but she could also eat soft solids.
“Husband, I’ll go get you some porridge.”
Seeing her husband come to the hall, Gu Xinyue, who was sitting at the dining table and eating porridge, immediately stood up and said.
Chen An smiled and said, “No need. I’ll get it myself.”
After saying that, he went forward and teased his daughter in his wife’s arms.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
“Husband, I’ll go with you.”
Gu Xinyue followed closely behind.
Chen An smiled and did not say anything. He let her follow him.
According to the date set in the past, he should have gone to the icy concubine’s place for the night last night.
However, because last night was a special situation, he had to stay in Wen Zhiyun’s room for the night. He could only neglect his icy concubine for the night.
They came to the kitchen.
Chen An asked Gu Xinyue to sit at the side for a while and said that she would wait for him to eat a bowl of porridge first.
Gu Xinyue was very obedient and waited for her husband to finish eating.
After eating the porridge a moment later.
Chen An didn’t waste time with Gu Xinyue.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks.
He closed the kitchen door and windows.
In the next second, he pulled Gu Xinyue, who had been waiting anxiously, into his arms to make up for the cold treatment he had given her last night. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ
Two hours later.
He left the kitchen.
He walked into the alchemy room.
Chen An skillfully set up the stove and started the fire.
He planned to send the healing pills to the Bamboo Leaf Gang’s logistics after refining in the morning and sell the Emotion Severing Pill to the Treasure Pavilion in the afternoon so that he could spare the evening to cultivate with his three wives and concubines.
“Husband, can I come in?”
His wife, Song Huaying’s voice sounded from outside the door.
Chen An extinguished the furnace fire to prevent the temperature in the alchemy room from rising. Then, he said gently,
“Yes, come in.”
Creak
Song Huaying gently pushed open the door and walked in.
She was alone.
He didn’t see his daughter, Chen Yuejian.
Chen An asked, “Where’s Little Yuejian?”
“Little Yuejian is playing with Sister Gu in the courtyard.”
Song Huaying smiled sweetly.
With that said, she walked in front of Chen An and stopped. Her beautiful watery eyes said,
“Husband, Ying’er feels that her current alchemy knowledge is still lacking. She wants to study more to make up for it.”
“Looks like Ying’er is very diligent and eager to learn.”
“As long as you don’t find Ying’er annoying.”
“Come, let me teach you.”
“Husband, can you speak slower? Ying’er can’t digest it!”
Song Huaying sounded like she was about to cry. She was afraid that her husband would despise her because of this and think that she was useless.
How could Chen An despise her? He was just short of pampering her to the heavens.
“Alright, that’s all for today. Go back and digest it. I’ll continue to teach you more tomorrow.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you tomorrow.”
Song Huaying had learned something and left the alchemy room with a satisfied expression.
Just as his wife left, Wen Zhiyun walked in.
“How is the wound?”
Chen An asked Wen Zhiyun gently.
Wen Zhiyun’s face was a little red. She didn’t dare to make eye contact with Chen An. She raised her head unnaturally and sized up the alchemy room. She pretended to be indifferent and said,
“I’m much better. I’m basically fine. Thank you for treating my wound yesterday.”
“What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you still being reserved?”
Chen An teased with a smile as he rekindled the alchemic fire.
Although they had already done it last night, Wen Zhiyun was surprisingly thin-skinned when it came to romantic relationships.
After being teased by Chen An, she was so embarrassed that smoke was about to come out of her head.
“Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?!”
Wen Zhiyun bit her thin lips and habitually rolled her eyes at Chen An.
That’s right, this is their normal.
The aura of a beautiful woman in playing hard to get.
The figure of a young woman and the mentality of a young girl.
Chen An liked Wen Zhiyun this way.
He extinguished the fire that had just ignited again. He stood up and walked to Wen Zhiyun’s side to pull her into his arms. He smiled and said, “Yun’er, actually, I’m even more shameless than you think.”
As he spoke, his hands moved and began to take advantage of the arrogant woman in his arms.
“Don’t touch me!”
Wen Zhiyun suddenly turned hostile and slapped his restless hand away. Her voice was a little angry as she said, “You still owe me a wedding. When you marry me, you can then come and touch me again!”
After saying that, she broke free from Chen An’s embrace and quickly left the alchemy room.
She wasn’t so angry that she left.
Instead, she was really too embarrassed.
Even though they had sex last night, she was still not used to being too intimate with Chen An. She still had to spend some time to progress.
Looking at Wen Zhiyun’s retreating back, Chen An did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It was clearly Wen Zhiyun who didn’t let him leave last night and wanted him to do something quickly. In the end, Wen Zhiyun complained just now and blamed him for taking her virginity before they got married.
“Women are unreasonable.”
Chen An smiled helplessly. Then, he returned to the pill furnace and sat down. He lit the pill fire for the third time and prepared to refine pills.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the morning passed.
After lunch.
After resting for a while.
Chen An planned to continue refining pills in the alchemy room.
Just as he pushed open the door of the alchemy room, a loud shout came from outside.
“Everyone from Green Willow Alley!”
“From today onwards, the rewards for representing the Bamboo Leaf Gang on the battlefield to kill the Cultivators of the Black Iron Manor will be doubled!”
“In the past, the reward for killing a Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivator was one month rent-free. Now, the reward is for two months rent-free!”
“Fellow Cultivators, do you want to sign up on the spot?”
A Bamboo Leaf Gang warden shouted.
Including Chen An, many residents of Green Willow Alley opened their windows to see what was going on outside.
However, they only took a look. There were not many people who came out to respond to the call like the first time.
Most people only took a look and quickly closed the window.
Things were different now.
When the two gangs first started fighting, the main forces on the battlefield were all mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivators.
Many residents at the late-stage of the Qi Refining realm in the core area could easily earn a sum of money as mercenaries.
And now, the main force on the battlefield had all become late-stage Qi Refining.
Even Foundation Establishment experts had entered the battlegrounds.
The risk of being a mercenary doubled.
It was true that the residents in the core area wanted to earn rent-free vouchers, but not at the expense of their lives.
The cost-effectiveness ratio of going to the battlefield now was not comparable to before, causing many people to be unwilling to participate.
“Are there any Fellow Cultivators who want to sign up?”
“Are there any?”
“Is there anyone!”
The warden of the Bamboo Leaf Gang shouted a few times.
Seeing that no residents responded to the call, he could not help but be a little angry from embarrassment.
However, he didn’t say anything else and quickly turned to leave Green Willow Alley.
Chen An stood in front of the window and witnessed the entire scene.
He felt a little uneasy about this.
Coupled with the information he usually obtained from the Treasure Hall and the increased rewards that the Bamboo Leaf Gang deacon had just announced,
If nothing went wrong, the current Bamboo Leaf Gang should be short of manpower. The situation on the battlefield was quite disadvantageous.
If this continued, it was only a matter of time before they lost to the Black Iron Manor.
“I’m afraid I can’t stay in the Bamboo Leaf Forest anymore. I have to break through to the second level of the Alchemy Realm as soon as possible and see if I can join the Treasure Pavilion as an Alchemist to obtain protection.”
Chen An thought to himself.
