Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 108: Sword Flying Technique (33)

Hundred Herbs Lane, Fangshi.

Chen An came here and found that there were very few shops, mostly just street vendors.

At a glance, it was slightly higher in grade than the core area of Bamboo Leaf Forest.

It was difficult to find good spells or alchemy recipes.

"It seems that I have to go to the market on Willow Street to have a look," Chen An thought to himself.

Before heading to Willow Street, he first bought a large amount of supplies in Hundred Herbs Lane.

There were spirit vegetable seeds.

There were spirit chicken chicks.

There were spirit fish fry.

After special treatment, they could all be directly stored in the storage bag, which was very convenient.

When he took out the storage bag, Chen An noticed that the attitude of these vendors in Hundred Herbs Lane instantly became more enthusiastic, even a bit pleasing.

He thought about it and realized that the storage bag represented a symbol of identity.

Independent cultivators who could afford a storage bag were all Foundation Building cultivators.

And vendors like those in Hundred Herbs Lane were mostly late Qi Refining stage independent cultivators, who would instinctively try to please Foundation Building cultivators.

Leaving the market in Hundred Herbs Lane.

Arriving at the market on Willow Street.

Chen An casually looked around and walked into a three-story building called "Qin's Trading House".

He glanced inside and saw that there weren't many people.

But they were all either rich or noble.

Except for a few female cultivators and children, whether they were customers or employees of the trading house, they were all Foundation Building cultivators.

When he was in Bamboo Leaf Forest before, he would address Foundation Building cultivators as "great experts".

Now that he had come to Red Cedar Forest, there were Foundation Building cultivators everywhere, as common as dogs.

This contrast was truly sigh-inducing.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen An had only stood at the entrance observing for a moment when a well-built and beautiful female cultivator walked up and asked.

She was an employee of the trading house, with a good attitude and a sweet smile, without a trace of arrogance.

But she was a Foundation Building cultivator.

Chen An thought that Qin's Trading House was probably another branch of some Gold Core family.

And this female employee in front of him was a member of that family, responsible for managing this trading house.

Thinking this, Chen An looked at the female employee and politely smiled as he declined, "No need, I'll just look around myself."

"If Fellow Daoist needs anything, you can call me at the counter anytime."

After saying this, the female employee politely left without disturbing Chen An any further.

For the rest of the time, Chen An wandered around the trading house by himself.

He bought some formations, spells, and alchemy recipes, more or less.

He bought 5 copies of "Sound Transmission Talisman" for a total of 1 middle-grade spirit stone.

He bought 1 copy of "Soundproof Formation" for 5 middle-grade spirit stones.

He bought 1 copy of "Sword Flying Technique" for 10 middle-grade spirit stones.

He bought 1 copy of "Aura Concealing Technique" for 1 middle-grade spirit stone.

He bought 1 copy of "Shadow Killing Technique" for 1 high-grade spirit stone.

He bought 1 recipe for "Little Returning Pill" for 20 middle-grade spirit stones.

Looking at the many things he bought, but realizing that it didn't cost much when added up, not even 2 high-grade spirit stones, Chen An didn't even blink and directly paid for them.

There was no other way, he was too rich now.

Killing and setting fires was profitable.

Fortunately, he only killed those who had enmity with him.

This money was well earned.

Because he was so generous, several female cultivators in the trading house wanted to get to know Chen An.

But he didn't have any thoughts about these overly proactive female cultivators.

He politely declined.

Soon, Chen An left Qin's Trading House.

...

Hundred Herbs Lane, at home.

When Chen An returned home, it was still early in the day, and the sky was still bright.

Chen Yuejian was practicing Qi cultivation in the courtyard. When he saw his father coming back, he immediately ran over, calling out in a childish voice, "Daddy!"

Chen An understood what was going on and took out a box of pastries from the storage bag and handed it to Chen Yuejian.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

"Just saying thank you is not enough, you have to give Daddy a kiss."

"Mua!"

Chen Yuejian kissed him with great force.

Chen An showed a contented smile that only an old father would have.

Afterwards, he went to the three wives and gave each of them a gift.

He gave them accessories, a delicate spirit anklet.

It is made of spiritual stones and some gemstones.

Not only is it beautiful, but also practical.

It is said to nourish the body and mind when worn.

However, what Chen An is interested in is not this, but the clear sound it makes when the spiritual chain swings.

When his wives wear it on their feet, they will enjoy the love and affection while listening to the sound of the spiritual chain, which will surely be indescribably wonderful.

"Shen Fellow Daoist, this is for you."

Chen An bought a total of four spiritual chains. After giving three to his wives, he gave the last one to Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi was a little surprised and said, "Master Chen, do I also have a share?"

Chen An smiled and said, "I am counting on you, Shen Fellow Daoist, to help me take care of the house in the future. I have to please you a little."

Shen Qingyi waved her hand and said, "Master Chen, you saved my life. It is my duty to help you. I cannot accept your reward."

"This is not a reward, just a small gift between friends. Shen Fellow Daoist, please accept it."

"Well..."

"If you feel guilty, you can return the favor in the future."

"Then I will accept it."

Shen Qingyi was persuaded by Chen An and accepted the spiritual chain he gave her.

The three wives on the side all understood in their hearts. This gift from their husband was not just a small gift between friends. It was clear that Chen An was treating Shen Qingyi as one of his wives. He had ulterior motives.

Chen An did indeed think so.

The three wives guessed correctly.

However, Shen Qingyi was overly oblivious when it came to matters of love between men and women. She still believed that this was just a gift between friends and didn't think much of Chen An's intentions to flirt with her.

In the following time,

When the wives felt it was about time, they all went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Chen Yuejian wanted to follow, but was driven out by Wen Zhiyun.

Wen Zhiyun told her to stay in the courtyard and practice Qi absorption, striving to succeed as soon as possible.

As for Chen An and Shen Qingyi, they were busy figuring out how to arrange the "soundproof formation" and how to operate it.

The two of them studied together for almost half an hour, and finally successfully set up the "soundproof formation".

The coverage range was controlled very well, perfectly enveloping the entire house against the courtyard wall.

Chen An couldn't wait to test it.

He was outside, and Shen Qingyi was inside.

Shen Qingyi shouted from inside, but he couldn't hear her from outside.

He shouted from outside, but Shen Qingyi inside couldn't hear him either.

The effect was obvious, completely soundproof.

Chen An was a little excited, thinking that from now on, even if he made a lot of noise with his wives at home, he wouldn't have to worry about being heard by people outside.

After testing the soundproof array,

Chen An quickly returned to the courtyard.

He arranged the purchased spirit plant seeds, spirit chicken chicks, and spirit fish fry in the courtyard.

The spirit plant seeds were all planted in the backyard vegetable garden.

The spirit chicken chicks were raised in the backyard chicken coop.

The spirit fish fry were raised in the small pond in the front yard.

"Master Chen Dan is truly talented, it seems like he knows everything, I am not worthy."

Seeing Chen An doing these household chores so skillfully, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but sincerely admire and praise him.

Chen An modestly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you flatter me. It's just that everyone has different areas of expertise. You see, I am proficient in these things, but would you believe that I still don't know how to fly on a sword?"

"Master Chen Dan doesn't know how to fly on a sword?"

Shen Qingyi was surprised, thinking that she must have misheard.

You see, Chen An almost wiped out the Bamboo Leaf Gang that day. He was such a powerful cultivator, yet he doesn't know how to fly on a sword?

Is this true?

Seeing Shen Qingyi's disbelief, Chen An had a thought and took out the newly purchased book "Sword Flying Technique" from his storage bag and placed it in front of Shen Qingyi, saying,

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I'm not lying to you. I really don't know how to fly on a sword."

"Look, this book 'Sword Flying Technique' is the one I just bought in the market. It's still brand new."

"..."

Shen Qingyi didn't say anything, she carefully took a look and found that it was indeed as Chen An said. This book "Sword Flying Technique" was just bought.

She felt it was a waste and couldn't help but say to Chen An, "Master Chen Dan, if you want to learn sword flying, you can just ask me directly. Why bother buying books?"

Chen An looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't think too much at the time and just bought it. Well, I'll have to return it tomorrow since it's still unopened."

After saying that, he said to Shen Qingyi, "So... Fellow Daoist Shen, do you have time to teach me sword flying now?"

"Of course."

Shen Qingyi readily agreed, "Sword Flying Technique is not difficult, there are no special techniques. As long as your cultivation reaches the Foundation Building Stage and you have enough spiritual power to control it, you could possibly learn it in half an hour."

"So fast?"

Now it was Chen An's turn to be surprised.

Shen Qingyi nodded, "Yes, that fast."

Chen An still found it hard to believe and couldn't help but express his doubts, "Then why is the 'Sword Flying Technique' sold at such a high price in the market?"

"I don't know."

Shen Qingyi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. She used to be a disciple of the sect and didn't need to buy spells; someone would teach her.

Upon hearing this, Chen An felt like he had been ripped off and decided that he must return this "Sword Flying Technique" tomorrow.
