[You communicate with your wife, Gu Xinyue, for a day. Work hard to spread your roots. Divine Sense +2.] x45

[Name: Gu Xinyue]

[Attribute: Pure and Untainted, Loyal and Unwavering]

[Relationship: 2 stars (132/500)]

[Consciousness Strength: 388]

[Proficiency of Goldfinger provided: 154]

“Yue’er, it’s not good for me recently. I’ve neglected you.”

“Yue… Yue’er has never blamed Husband.”

Gu Xinyue lay on the bed weakly. She was so tired that she kept panting and could not even speak smoothly.

However, she liked this feeling very much. She could feel her husband’s love for her and felt very satisfied.

After comforting the icy concubine, Chen An got out of bed and went to the alchemy room to work.

After setting up the pill furnace, he was not in a hurry to refine it.

Before refining the pill, he opened the interface and looked at the data.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 5]

[Alchemy Technique: Intermediate Level 1 (459/500)]

[Consciousness: Intermediate Level 1 (388/500)]

[Goldfinger: Proficient (239/500)]

[Spouses: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue]

[Progeny: Chen Yuejian]

He was still 41 experience points away from breaking through to the Alchemy Realm.

Chen An was excited. He was so excited that he stopped refining pills.

He got up and found a pile of medicinal herbs.

Then, he ran to the backyard and caught a chicken and started to make soup for his wife.

Only when his wife’s body recovered would he be able to break through to become a first-grade high-grade Alchemist.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.

On this day, Chen An brought the refined medicinal pills to the market to sell.

Along the way, he realized that the core area was no longer safe.

Chaos is visible to the naked eye.

This was because the Bamboo Leaf Gang’s undercover operation seemed to be based on surface level evidence, but in reality, they were following the principle of killing rather than letting go of the wrong person.

This caused everyone to be in a state of panic, especially at the border of the Black Iron Manor.

The friction between the two gangs became more frequent, and conflicts erupted almost every day.

Just a few days ago, there was a fight between the advanced-stage Qi Refining experts on both sides. The scene was chaotic, and both sides had suffered casualties.

If it weren’t for the fact that a big shot came out to mitigate, a war would probably break out between the two gangs that day.

Although the war didn’t start, the two gangs were constantly sending people to the border.

The situation became tense, a great battle could break out at any moment.

For example, many members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang who were originally in charge of security in the core area had been transferred to the border.

As a result, the core area was now unattended. It was getting more and more chaotic by the day.

It looked like it was almost as cheap as the area before the Blood Demons wreaked havoc.

He quickly arrived at the market.

Chen An casually found an empty spot to set up a stall.

Just like before, he only sold Emotion Severing Pills.

In fact, Soft Bone Powder would have been a better product to sell because it had a wider range of uses.

However, Chen An did not dare to sell this poison powder. He was worried that someone would use it on him one day after it circulated.

Of course, the most important thing was that they were not selling forbidden drugs.

If they traded in private, there was a risk of being cheated, so he might as well not sell it.

“Fellow Cultivator, how much are you selling this Emotion Severing Pill for?”

“Half a low-grade spirit stone for a bottle. Only sold by the bottle.”

“That expensive?”

The male Cultivator who came to ask for the price shook his head and turned to leave.

Chen An didn’t care. He didn’t have to worry about selling it anyway. It would just take more time.

This was Chen An’s first time setting up a stall here. Many vendors saw that he was unfamiliar and chatted with him.

Among them, a weapon vendor next door came over and asked with a smile:

“Fellow Cultivator, you don’t look familiar. Have you just arrived at the core area?”

“Not really. It’s been almost three months since I moved here. It’s just that I’ve been setting up a stall at the other end of the market. Today, I accidentally came late and my seat was taken, so I came here to set up a stall.”

“Fellow Cultivator, your cultivation doesn’t seem high, but you can settle down in the core area. It seems that your alchemy attainments are not low.”

“It’s just so-so. I can barely make a living.”

“Fellow Cultivator, to be honest, the core area hasn’t been peaceful recently. Do you want to buy a weapon to protect yourself? Since we’re in the same industry, I’ll give it to you at a cheaper price. Just treat it as making friends.”

“No, I have a weapon at home.”

Chen An glanced at the crude weapons in the other party’s stall and casually found an excuse to tactfully refuse.

At that moment, a stall owner selling talismans spoke to him.

“Fellow Cultivator, I have a niece who’s 28 years old. She has a good figure and looks, and her cultivation level is at the second level of Qi Refining. She lives in the cheaper district and wants to find a family in the core district to marry and move over. I wonder if you’re interested in taking her?”

“No, I already have a wife and concubine at home. My energy is limited.”

Chen An smiled and declined politely.

Actually, he was very energetic. He could find seven or eight more if he wanted to.

However, he would only marry orphans to save himself from future troubles.

Just like that, as he set up the stall, he chatted with the surrounding stall owners.

Five hours later, Chen An’s Emotion Severing Pills were all sold out.

After selling for more than half a month, he had earned 11 low-grade spirit stones.

It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing. After all, a mosquito’s leg was still meat.

After selling the pills, Chen An did not dare to stay any longer. He packed up his stall and left.

With his powerful divine sense, he sensed that he was being targeted by a few Cultivators with ill intentions.

It was probably because his cultivation level was not high and he had become a fat piece of meat that others could easily bite at will.

“Strength is indeed the way to go.”

“It’s just that he has money but no strength. He’ll probably become someone else’s meal.”

“Yes, I have to leave this market filled with wolves as soon as possible.”

Chen An carried the first aid kit and left quickly as he thought to himself.

As he walked, he picked up the pace, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He discovered that the few Cultivators who had been watching him in the market had actually followed him all the way!

There were a total of five people! One was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other four were at the fifth level!

Based on the principle of “If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I’ll burn their bones and scatter their ashes”, Chen An made a bold decision and naturally walked towards a remote part of the forest in front.

The five Cultivators following behind could not help but look happy when they saw this. They immediately followed quickly.

However, when they followed him into the forest, they realized that Chen An had disappeared.

“Where is he?”

The bald Cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining asked in confusion.

At this moment, Chen An walked out from behind a tree at the front and smiled faintly.

“Fellow Cultivators, are you here to buy pills from me?”

“We don’t have the money to buy medicinal pills. It’s just that we’ve been short of money recently, so we want to borrow some spirit stones from you to resolve our urgent needs.”

The bald Cultivator smiled gently.

However, he was a smiling tiger. As he spoke, a short knife secretly slipped out of his sleeve. He planned to rob and silence him.

After all, in the core area, one had to be punished for committing crimes.

Chen An took out all 11 low-grade spirit stones and casually threw them on the ground a meter away.

“Fellow Cultivator, come and get it yourself. I only have so many spirit stones on me.”

“Fellow Cultivators are so generous!”

The bald Cultivator smiled and stepped forward. The short knife in his sleeve was stuck to his arm.

When the two of them were less than two meters apart.

Hm?

For some reason, the bald Cultivator suddenly felt like sleeping.

Before he could react, a figure quickly flashed past his eyes.

“Pfft!”

A dull voice sounded.

The bald man felt a warm current gushing out from between his eyebrows.

Then, his limbs instantly became weak. He fell to the ground and stopped moving.

He was dead. He was shot in the head by Chen An at close range.

Red and white splattered all over the floor.

“Sixth level of Qi Refining?”

“That’s all there is to it anyway.”

Pah!

Chen An stomped on the head under his feet and looked at the remaining four people harmlessly.

The four of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

“Fellow… Fellow Cultivator, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

“Yes, it’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding. We just wanted to borrow money, the kind that we can repay double in two days!”

“Fellow Cultivator, I’m a female Cultivator and a virgin. Please spare my life. I can cook for you at home every day…”

“…Pfft!”

Chen An shot a golden light at the female Cultivator’s head from ten meters away.

He was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so there was no need for him to increase the lethality of his ‘Goldfinger’ in close combat.

“Fellow Cultivator, don’t kill me. I know a treasure map…”

“…Pfft!”

Chen An didn’t listen to anything. He raised his hand and shot him in the head with his ‘Goldfinger’.

The remaining two were in despair.

At this moment, their bodies were covered in Soft Bone Powder. It was difficult for them to even stand up. They could only watch as death descended.

“Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me. I’ve lived for more than 20 years and haven’t touched a woman. I’m not willing to die like this!”

One of them was so frightened that he peed his pants and wailed.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

Chen An was expressionless as he released two golden lights to take their lives.

Regardless of the grudges, as long as there were grudges, he would kill them.

This was his current rule of survival.

Soon, he squatted down and searched the corpse.

The harvest was not bad. There were a total of 34 low-grade spirit stones.

After putting all the spirit stones into his pocket, Chen An dug a hole on the spot and buried the five corpses.

He covered with a thick layer of soil.

Then, he planted a sapling that he had casually plucked. He cleaned up perfectly.

After coming out of the forest, Chen An walked straight home.

The core area was becoming more and more chaotic.

Before the sky darkened, he quickly went home and took out half of his savings to buy supplies at the market.

If there was nothing urgent in the future, he would stay at home and not go out.

Speaking of which, I seem to be very strong now.

With the help of the Sleepy Time Spell, the Goldfinger, and the Soft Bone Powder, he could easily kill a Cultivator with a cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The future was promising.

When he thought up to here, Chen An couldn’t help but feel extremely excited.
