Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 209: The Saintess's Worries (12)

After a careful count, Chen An's heart was filled with excitement.

There were countless spirit stones, as numerous as hairs on a cow, and various Law Weapons and elixirs.

The items in the three storage rings combined were worth more than a thousand times his entire fortune.

"It can only be said that cultivating the Nascent Soul stage is truly cultivating the Nascent Soul stage."

"After living for so many years, the accumulated wealth is astonishing."

"Unlike me, a nouveau riche, who is as poor as can be."

Chen An sighed with emotion.

He looked at the items in Elder Li's storage ring and couldn't help but exclaim, "There are as many as ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. It's no wonder he's an elder of the Pill Hall. Accumulating wealth is so simple. I estimate he has made a lot during his time in power."

Then, his divine sense fell into Mo Zixuan's storage ring, and he murmured, "Hehuan Pill, Hehuan Powder, Hehuan Liquid, Hehuan Light Veil... This elder of the Hehuan Hall has so many obscene items."

Saying that, he woke up Wen Zhiyun, who had been sleeping for nearly two hours, and together they criticized the obscene items in Mo Zixuan's storage ring.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

Wen Zhiyun was really exhausted at this point, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still breathing, Chen An would have thought she was dead.

"No wonder every male cultivator who has been to the Hehuan Tower can't help but linger. It's like being enchanted. It turns out that the female cultivators of the Hehuan Hall rely on props."

Chen An silently laughed in his heart.

Afterwards, with a thought, he took out the three storage rings again and looked at the spoils of war inside, lost in thought.

There were many Law Weapons inside that were suitable for his wives and daughters to use.

But if they were really used, there would be a certain amount of risk.

After all, these were the spoils of war obtained by killing three elders of the sect. Once exposed, it would be difficult to escape punishment.

"Forget it, let's put them aside for now. When my strength is strong enough to suppress everyone in the Heaven and Earth Sect, then I'll take them out for my wives and daughters to use."

Thinking this, Chen An got dressed and returned to his room, sitting on the bed to refine spirit stones and cultivate.

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

During this period, Chen An spent most of his time in his room cultivating, except for accompanying his wives and daughters.

The originally tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones were quickly refined, leaving him with less than a thousand.

But in return, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Unknowingly, I have reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. I'm only one realm away from becoming a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. I wonder how strong I am now, and whether I can compete with the sect master and the nine elders."

Chen An thought to himself.

With that in mind, he used a simulated trial to create an absolute space deep in his mind, and then replicated the sect master and the nine elders, taking turns to fight against these ten peak cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

After more than two hours, the battles of up to ten rounds finally came to an end.

The results of the battle were not satisfactory, but they were not too disastrous either.

Although Chen An didn't win a single fight, he at least fought to a draw with the Sect Master and the two Ninth Elders.

Moreover, when facing the Eighth Elder, Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Fourth Elder, he fought until the end and only lost with some regret. Their strengths were not too different.

As for when facing the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, the results were quite miserable. No matter how many times he challenged them, he was always pressed down and thoroughly defeated. He had no power to resist, which greatly undermined his confidence.

Chen An suspected that although the Grand Elder's cultivation was said to be at the peak of the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, his actual strength was not much different from the Soul Formation Stage. Even if there was a difference, it was only in certain aspects, such as spiritual power and other attributes. In terms of strength, the Grand Elder definitely had the strength of the first layer of Soul Formation.

"I didn't expect that the esteemed Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect would only rank ninth within the sect."

"I have to say, the power distribution within the Heaven and Earth Sect is quite peculiar."

"Fortunately, I didn't choose to associate with the female Sect Master that night. Otherwise, if there were internal conflicts within the sect in the future, I would regret it."

Chen An felt a sense of relief in his heart.

...

A few days later.

Chen An was in the room, intimately bonding with his beautiful wife, Song Huaying, to deepen their marital relationship.

Just as they finished and were about to get dressed and get out of bed, they heard the voice of their eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, from outside.

"Mom, me, Xiaoyi, and Xiaojiuli want to go out and play. Mom and Aunt Gu don't have time to accompany us. Can you come out and play with us?"

"Okay, wait a moment. Your mom and I will come out soon and accompany you to play outside."

Chen An said to his three daughters outside the door.

When his wife finished getting dressed as well, they opened the door and went out together.

"Squeak—"

As they pushed open the door, the sight of their three lovely and beautiful daughters entered the couple's eyes.

Chen An picked up his youngest daughter, Chen Jiuli, who was less than half a year old, and took her and her two sisters outside the Cave Mansion to play.

Seeing her sister being carried by their father, Chen Yuejian also wanted to be carried and said in a crisp voice, "Daddy, I want to be carried too."

"You're already so grown up, and you still want Daddy to carry you. Aren't you embarrassed?" Song Huaying said speechlessly.

Chen Yuejian pouted her rosy lips and said in a dismissive and coquettish manner, "Mom, you're completely wrong. No matter how old I am, I will always be Daddy's little cotton jacket daughter. As a daughter, how could it be embarrassing to let Daddy carry me?"

"Yes, yes, you're right. It would be best if you grew up to be a big girl and still let Daddy carry you every day." Song Huaying said with a hint of annoyance.

Chen Yuejian's eyes turned mischievous and she said playfully, "Mom, are you jealous of me?"

"Do I need to be jealous of you?" Song Huaying said proudly, "Your Daddy spoils me. He often sleeps with me, massages me, and washes my feet. These are things you can't enjoy."

Chen Yuejian felt a pang of envy as she listened.

She turned to look at Chen An, who was beside her, and said with an adorable and pitiful expression, "Daddy, I also want you to sleep with me, massage me, and wash my feet."

Chen An smiled and said, "That's not possible."

"Why not?" Chen Yuejian asked, puzzled.

Chen An didn't know how to explain, so he directly threw this question to his wife, saying to his daughter Chen Yuejian, "You ask your mother about this. As long as your mother agrees, I don't mind."

After successfully diverting the attention, he held his third daughter Chen Jiuli in one hand and held his second daughter Chen Yike in the other, leading the two little ones towards the outside of the Cave Mansion.

Outside the Cave Mansion.

At a glance, there were children and young women from neighboring families everywhere, lively and full of vitality.

As soon as the eldest daughter and the second daughter arrived outside, they quickly mingled with the other children and had a great time.

The third daughter also wanted to join in, but unfortunately she hadn't learned to speak yet, so she could only struggle to get down from her father's arms and play with her sisters by saying "ya ya ya".

Chen An smiled and kissed her chubby little face, then let her go and play wherever she wanted, as long as he kept an eye on her and didn't let her run too far.

After all, he had disguised her with furry fox ears and a snow-white fox tail, so she wouldn't be noticed.

"Chen Zhi Shi, it's been a long time since I saw you at the Dan Hall."

Lin Zhi Shi, who lived next door, had just come out of the Cave Mansion and was about to go to the Dan Hall. When he saw Chen An, whom he hadn't seen for several months, he immediately walked up with a smile and said.

Chen An smiled back and said, "I've been practicing in seclusion at home recently and haven't been out much."

"I see."

Lin Zhi Shi suddenly realized, then smiled and flattered, "It seems that Chen Zhi Shi has made a breakthrough in his cultivation recently. Achieving the Gold Core is just a matter of time."

Achieving the Gold Core?

I'm already at the third level of Nascent Soul!

Even if Sect Master Xiao Qingyue came, at most we would be evenly matched!

Chen An thought this in his heart, but on the surface, he just smiled and said, "Lin Zhi Shi is exaggerating. Achieving the Gold Core is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time to accumulate."

"It's Chen Zhi Shi being modest."

After speaking, Lin Zhi Shi suddenly transmitted his voice to Chen An with a mysterious look, "By the way, Chen Zhi Shi, you have been practicing in seclusion in the Cave Mansion recently. I'm afraid you don't know what big event has happened outside now, do you?"

Chen An could guess what the big event was, most likely the disappearance of the three elders from the Dan Hall, Hehuan Hall, and Bailian Hall.

However, he still showed great interest and knowingly asked through voice transmission, "What happened?"

Lin Zhi Shi transmitted his voice again, "For some reason, our elder Li from the Dan Hall, elder Mo from the Hehuan Hall, and elder Yi from the Bailian Hall all disappeared on the same day and there has been no news of them so far."

"It is said that the recent incident of poisoning the water source may be related to these three elders."

"Now the Law Enforcement Hall has personally led the investigation."

"But after more than a month of investigation, there has been no announcement, and it is not known whether anything has been found or if it is being kept confidential."

Lin Zhi Shi's tone was full of conspiracy.

Then he continued, "I heard that now they want to re-elect three elders to manage the three halls. Chen Zhi Shi, you discovered the antidote to save the Heaven and Earth Sect last time, and your alchemy strength is particularly outstanding. You can participate in the election."

"Maybe with good luck, you will become the new elder of the Dan Hall with the support of the people."

"By then, you will become the youngest elder in the history of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and your future will be promising."

Lin Zhi Shi became more and more excited as he spoke, feeling as if he himself was about to become an elder of the Dan Hall.

Chen An just smiled and said, "I haven't even achieved the Gold Core in my cultivation, so let's forget about it. Besides, my qualifications are not good enough, so I definitely won't become an elder of the Dan Hall."

"You're mistaken, Chen Zhi Shi." Lin Zhi Shi persuaded, "Whether you can become an elder of the Dan Hall doesn't depend on your cultivation level, but on the level of your alchemy. As long as your alchemy level is high, even if you are only a Foundation Building cultivator, you can become an elder of the Dan Hall."

Chen An smiled and remained silent.

Lin, the steward, made a valid point, but Chen An did not intend to become an elder of the Dan Hall.

...

The sky gradually darkened.

At night.

The family sat in the hall after finishing their meal.

Chen An was eating the honey-glazed cucumber made by Gu Xinyue when the communication talisman in his storage ring trembled.

It was the communication talisman used to contact Ning Xian'er.

Chen An had a thought and took out the talisman, directly choosing to play it without any hesitation.

In the next moment, Ning Xian'er's voice sounded from the talisman.

"Elder Chen, I have good news to tell you!"

"Please speak, Your Holiness."

"My master said that as long as you are willing, she can help you become an elder of the Dan Hall within a year!"

As soon as Ning Xian'er said this, the eyes of the five wives sitting at the dining table lit up.

Song Huaying exclaimed excitedly, "Husband, you're going to become an elder of the Dan Hall!"

Chen An didn't respond to his little wife but calmly replied to Ning Xian'er, "Your Holiness, I have only joined the Dan Hall for a few years and have limited experience. I am not qualified to hold the position of elder of the Dan Hall. I am truly unworthy of Your Holiness's high regard."

"Elder Chen, these are not problems. As long as your alchemy skills are profound enough, you will be eligible to sit as an elder of the Dan Hall."

Ning Xian'er advised earnestly.

Chen An didn't want to waste time with her and casually found an excuse, "Your Holiness, I'm sorry, my third daughter woke up crying, I have to go comfort her."

After saying this, he put the communication talisman back into his storage ring and ignored Ning Xian'er.

...

Heaven and Earth Hall, the Cave Mansion of the Holy Maiden.

Ning Xian'er had just finished bathing and was sitting on the jade bed. Her slightly damp black hair hung behind her, accompanied by the warm flow of spiritual energy slowly drying it.

She looked at the communication talisman in her hand that no longer transmitted Chen An's voice and felt a little uncomfortable and a bit angry.

As the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect, she was repeatedly ignored by a mere steward of the Dan Hall!

Who does he think he is!

Shouldn't he be trying to please me!

Just a mere steward of the Dan Hall, what's so special about him!

Annoying!

Ning Xian'er felt extremely annoyed and angrily threw the communication talisman out of the window, deciding not to contact Chen An again to avoid inviting trouble.

But within a few moments, she got up and floated out of the window, picking up the talisman she had just thrown away.

Forget it, adults should not hold grudges against small people. As the Holy Maiden, she should have the dignity of a Holy Maiden and there is no need to be angry with a steward.
