Chapter 106 - 106: Going to the Market
They finished gossiping. It felt good.
He carried his daughter and left.
Looking at the woman’s well-rounded back as she left, Chen An could not help but sigh.
“Female Cultivators are indeed different. They have already given birth to 15 children in less than 40 years, but they can still look charming.”
“If it were a mortal girl, she would have been squeezed dry long ago.”
After sighing, he turned to look at Shen Qingyi and asked,
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, 1 have a question. The Great Thousand Domain and the Mountain Sea Area are not far apart. They are basically two adjacent areas. Why is the concentration of spiritual energy so different?”
Shen Qingyi thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure why.”
“However, 1 have heard of such a thing when 1 was in the Xuanhuang Sect in the past.”
“More than 600 years ago, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Great Thousand Domain and the Mountain Sea Region was the same.”
“At that time, the Xuanhuang Sect, the overlord of the Great Thousand Domain, was comparable to the Heaven Earth Sect, the overlord of the Mountain Sea Region.”
“The Cultivators of the two sects often fought over the resources at the border, resulting in a centuries long deep conflict.”
It’s just that the strength of both sides is about the same. We haven’t been able to defeat each other.”
“Until one day more than six hundred years ago, for some reason, the concentration of spiritual qi in the Great Thousand Domain suddenly began to thin.”
“It got thinner by the day. Until today, it’s already so thin that it’s less than 70% of the sea area.”
“During this period of time, the strength of the Xuanhuang Sect gradually declined and was gradually torn apart by the Heaven Earth Sect. At this point, the resources at the border of the two regions were all occupied by the Heaven Earth Sect. Many living beings who originally lived in the Great Thousand Domain also migrated over to survive.”
“That’s why the situation today is like this. The Cultivators of the Mountain Sea Region look down on the Cultivators of the Great Thousand Domain. The Heaven Earth Sect, which is also a Nascent Soul Sect, looks down on the Xuanhuang Sect.”
Shen Qingyi did not hold back and told Chen An everything she knew.
After hearing this, Chen An gained a lot and gained a better understanding of the situation in this world.
At the same time, he was a little envious of Shen Qingyi. He thought to himself that the disciples of large sects were indeed different. They knew a lot of unknown history.
Unlike the low-level grassroot Cultivators who came from less prestigious backgrounds and had no experience at all.
Perhaps he would never know what kind of world he lived in until he died.
Soon, the two of them returned to the house.
Among them, as soon as Chen An sat down, his wives asked about the situation outside.
Chen An did not hide anything and told them everything he knew.
When the wives heard this, the three of them had different reactions.
Song Huaying felt that Liu Ting was so pitiful. She said that she had married the wrong person and did not marry a good husband like her. She lived extremely blissfully every day.
Wen Zhiyun didn’t think much of it. It was more like saying that Liu Ting was ridiculous. She sold her body to earn cultivation resources and even cheated multiple times just to earn money. She didn’t have any virtues or morals to speak of. Just looking at her made her feel disgusted.
Gu Xinyue agreed with Wen Zhiytin’s opinion, but she did not express her stance and remained silent.
Shen Qingyi was the complete opposite. She criticized Chen Hu and Liu Ting fiercely, saying that the two of them were not good people and deserved to be killed!
When Song Huaying heard that, she immediately agreed and said that it was indeed so. Sister Shen was the one who saw it clearly.
Seeing this, Wen Zhiyun was a little convinced. She thought to herself that her Sister Song was too good at kissing up to people. She probably kissed up her husband a lot. No wonder her husband doted on her so much.
The table of people chatted for about an hour.
After the meal, the casual conversation ended. His wives cleaned up the dining table.
In the following period of time, everyone was busy with their own things.
Song Huaying took her daughter for an afternoon nap. At the same time, she cultivated the three mortal cultivation techniques to strengthen her physique.
Gu Xinyue first cleaned up and then went to the courtyard to learn the Earth Escape Technique.
Wen Zhiyun was an ascetic Cultivator. She went into Chen An’s room to serve him. After releasing the pressure on him, she returned to her room to cultivate.
She also cultivated the Qi Refinement Art and the Fireball Technique and used spiritual qi to nourish the fetus in her stomach every day.
Shen Qingyi had originally planned to leave after lunch, but after the episode with Chen Hu coming to cause trouble just now, she decided to stay until tonight to see if Chen Hu would really come to find trouble and help Chen An resolve the problem.
During this period of time, she had nothing to do, so she went out to the courtyard to look for Gu Xinyue. She said that she was a Metal and Earth Cultivator and could teach Gu Xinyue the Earth Escape Technique.
In the blink of an eye, the hall was empty.
Chen An lay in the room and thought for a while. He thought about what he was going to do next.
First, cultivation.
The current Redwood Forest was not like the Bamboo Leaf Forest. If one’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, there was no sense of security at all.
He had to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. He had to at least reach the Golden Core realm.
Secondly, refining pills.
Alchemy was a way to earn a living. He had to tidy up the alchemy room as soon as possible, buy the corresponding medicinal herbs, and start earning money.
However, he was already a second-grade Alchemist now. It would be a waste to refine another first-grade medicinal pill.
It was time to learn how to refine Tier 2 medicinal pills.
Third, upgrade.
The husband and wife’s Relationship, the father and daughter’s Relationship, and the levels of various skills had to be arranged well and as much time as possible.
Speaking of skills, he knew too few skills now.
He didn’t even know how to fly on a sword.
He had to find a time to walk around the market and buy some techniques and cultivation techniques to cultivate and increase his combat strength.
After thinking about it, Chen An sat up from the bed. He planned to take advantage of the fact that there was still some time before dark to go to the market to take a look.
The moment he got out of bed, his delicate wife, Song Huaying’s soft voice sounded from outside the door.
“Husband, can 1 come in?”
“Yes, come in.”
After saying that, Chen An had a thought and opened the door from afar so that Song Huaying could enter.
When the door opened, he was stunned.
Song Huaying, who was standing outside the door, changed her usual pure and sweet style.
She changed into a set of black clothes.
Her beautiful hair was tied up high. There was a long sword at her waist.
There was a strong sense of deja vu from the way she dressed up like Shen Qingyi.
Seeing the door open, Song Huaying immediately walked in like a thief and quickly closed the door.
She imitated Shen Qingyi’s usual words and actions. She straightened her upper body and walked straight to Chen An. She stopped in front of him and imitated Shen Qingyi’s tone.
“Alchemist Chen, am I beautiful?”
“It’s beautiful.”
Chen An swallowed his saliva. He was instantly hooked by his wife’s dressing.
His wife was really good at role playing.
She was clearly a woman of etiquette, but she took the initiative to role-play without any guidance to add spice to her husband’s life.
How intelligent.
Chen An no longer restrained himself. He pulled his wife into his arms and looked into her eyes.
“Good Ying’er, where did you get this outfit?”
“I tailored it myself.”
Song Huaying said playfully, “Husband, 1 see that you want to eat up Sister Shen every day, but you can’t have her anytime soon. I can only think of role playing as Sister Shen myself to satisfy your cravings.”
“Ying’er, you know me too well.”
“Alchemist Chen, I’m not Ying’er. I’m Fellow Cultivator Shen.”
“Yes, yes, you’re Fellow Cultivator Shen.”
“Alchemist Chen, I like children to be fair and chubby. Can you help me?”
“Of course!”
After saying that, Chen An and his wife fell onto the bed.
Time passed exceptionally quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two incense sticks of time passed.
Chen An walked out of the room with his wife in his arms. The two of them looked refreshed.
“Husband, Little Yuejian should be waking up soon. I’ll go back to my room to check on her.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
As Chen An spoke, he kissed his wife hard on the cheek. Then, he smiled and watched her leave.
At this moment, Shen Qingyi walked in from the courtyard.
Chen An looked at the real Shen Qingyi, who was dressed in black. The heat in his heart that had just calmed down surged again.
Shen Qingyi was very sensitive and immediately felt Chen An’s burning gaze.
She felt a little uncomfortable and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she asked in confusion,
“Alchemist Chen, I thought 1 heard you shouting my name in the courtyard just now. I don’t know if I heard wrongly.”
“You must have heard wrongly.”
Chen An lied through his teeth and asked, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, how’s Yue’er’s Earth Escape Technique mastery so far?”
Shen Qingyi replied, “You’ve learned very well. Yue’er’s comprehension is quite high. 1 believe she’ll be able to master the Earth Escape Technique in less than a month.”
Chen An was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect his ice-cold concubine to be so talented.
This was a promising future.
Thinking about this, he smiled and said to Shen Qingyi, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’m going out to the market to buy something. 1 might only be back in two hours. During the time I’m back, can I trouble you to take care of my wives and daughter?”
“No problem. Alchemist Chen, don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Shen.”
After explaining the matter, Chen An did not waste any more time and quickly went out to the market..
