Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 41: The Correct Way of Cultivation

Unknowingly, over a month had passed.

Life in the Core Zone remained peaceful.

The conflicts in the Cheap Zone were gradually subsiding.

It wasn't that the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Mountain Villa had ended, but rather that both sides tacitly shifted the battlefield to the border.

No more minor skirmishes.

No more probing each other.

They began to engage in direct confrontations.

The main forces on the battlefield had transitioned from the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the late-stage of Qi Refining.

The level of brutality had exponentially increased.

However, all of this had little impact on Chen An.

He was an alchemist, and all he needed to do was stay at home and refine pills.

At most, there was just an increase in the supply of pills.

On this day, Chen An had just finished refining a furnace of pills.

He was exhausted, leaning against the wall and sitting on the ground to rest.

With a thought, he opened the panel to check his personal attributes.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: 5th layer of Qi Refining]

[Wealth: 502 low-grade spirit stones]

[Pill Technique: 1st rank advanced (666/2500)]

[Spiritual Sense: 1st rank advanced (589/2500)]

[Goldfinger: Proficient (423/500)]

[Sleep Aid Technique: Proficient (108/500)]

[Spouse: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue]

[Descendant: Chen Yuejian]

From top to bottom, Chen An carefully read through each attribute.

All of his attributes had improved significantly.

The Sleep Aid Technique had broken through to the proficient realm.

Goldfinger was also about to break through to the next realm.

However, his cultivation level remained unchanged, still at the 5th layer of Qi Refining.

This system was good in every aspect, except that it couldn't directly increase his cultivation level.

Chen An worried about this.

The Bamboo Leaf Forest was becoming more chaotic now.

No matter how strong his spiritual sense was or how high his alchemy skills were, as long as his cultivation level was low, his life would always be at the mercy of others.

"It seems that I need to speed up the process of dealing with Wen Zhiyun."

"Perhaps, when my daughter grows up and starts on the path of cultivation, as her father, I will be able to gain some feedback from it."

"After all, if I can gain feedback from my wives and concubines, then I should be able to gain it from my daughter as well."

At this moment, Chen An, just like his young and beautiful wife Song Huaying, was eagerly looking forward to their daughter Chen Yuejian growing up quickly.

Just as he was thinking about these random things, a sudden urgent knocking sound came from outside, along with the excited voice of his wife Song Huaying.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Husband, come out and see, Xiaoyue has learned to walk!"

What?

Learned to walk?

So fast?

She's only five months old.

Without thinking too much, Chen An immediately came out of the pill refining room and followed Song Huaying to the front yard.

Then he saw the tiny Chen Yuejian, under the care of Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue, walking unsteadily around the yard, her little face filled with a bright smile.

It was evident that she was very happy to have learned to walk for the first time, being able to go wherever she wanted.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Seeing her parents come out of the house, Chen Yuejian immediately walked over with her short legs, her mouth unclearly saying something.

[Your daughter Chen Yuejian has learned to walk. Reward: Gathering Qi Pill.]

Just as Chen An saw the prompt message, he found that there was suddenly an extra pill in his hand.

He lowered his head to take a look, and what he saw was a small, light purple pill.

There was a faint purple aura swirling on the surface, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Chen Yuejian walked up to her father, grabbed his pants to steady herself, and raised her chubby face, seemingly asking to be held.

Chen An picked up his daughter and swayed her back and forth, making her giggle non-stop.

"Don't shake the child like this, it's not good for her health!"

Wen Zhiyun walked over with an unfriendly expression, looking like Chen Yuejian's biological mother.

Chen An ignored her, handed the giggling daughter in his arms to his wife, and hurriedly returned to the pill refining room.

The system had just rewarded him with a Gathering Qi Pill, and he couldn't wait to take it and see the effect of the pill, and how much it could enhance his cultivation.

Looking at Chen An's departing figure and thinking about his lukewarm attitude towards her, Wen Zhiyun felt uneasy.

She knew that Chen An was playing hard to get, but unfortunately, she fell for it.

It felt like her lifeline was being held.

...

In the alchemy room.

Chen An found a place to sit down casually.

Without hesitation, he directly swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand.

The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm stream flowing throughout his body.

Wherever it passed, blood vessels dilated and pores enlarged.

In an instant.

His whole body seemed to become a black hole.

From the inside out, a strong suction force emerged out of thin air, drawing in the spiritual energy contained in the air through the pores.

Suddenly, with so much spiritual energy forcefully rushing in, every cell in Chen An's body felt like it was being cut by a knife, causing him to gasp in pain.

After about an hour.

A prominent prompt message popped up in front of him.

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Sixth Layer]

"Phew~"

Looking at the prompt message in front of him, Chen An deeply exhaled, his face filled with a satisfied smile.

He broke through.

With just one Qi Gathering Pill, he directly advanced from the fifth layer of Qi Refining to the sixth layer.

Indeed, nurturing was greater than giving birth.

When his daughter was born, he was only rewarded with a Sleep Aid Technique.

But when she learned to walk, she was rewarded with a Qi Gathering Pill.

In the future, there would be learning stages such as learning to speak, learning to cultivate Qi, and various other stages.

Chen An was looking forward to the rewards at that time.

The requirements were not high, just one Qi Gathering Pill each time.

"Husband, it's time to eat!"

Song Huaying's voice came from outside the door.

Chen An got up to open the door, but instead of rushing to the dining hall, he pulled his wife inside.

It had been a long time since he taught his wife alchemy, so while they were in the alchemy room, he decided to teach her and improve her alchemy skills.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

[Alchemy Experience +3]

[Alchemy Experience +3]

[Alchemy Experience +3]

"Yinger, which of these three alchemy methods do you prefer?"

"Husband, I like all of them."

"That's too perfunctory."

"If I had to choose, I would prefer the conventional alchemy method, but sometimes when I get tired of the conventional method, I would want to try a different approach."

"In the future, I will teach you some unconventional alchemy methods."

"Yinger is looking forward to it. I will definitely study hard and not disappoint you, husband."

"Let's go, let's go eat first. I will teach you alchemy again tonight."

After saying that, the two of them wiped off the sweat on their bodies, tidied up their slightly loosened clothes, and quickly got up to go to the dining hall.

In the dining hall.

Just as Chen An sat down at the table, Wen Zhiyun across from him looked surprised and said, "You broke through?"

"Yeah, I advanced from the fifth layer of Qi Refining to the sixth layer," Chen An calmly replied.

Wen Zhiyun couldn't believe it.

She still remembered when she first met Chen An last year, he was only a cultivator at the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

But now, in the blink of an eye, his cultivation had reached the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

He was just one step away from the later stage of Qi Refining.

In just a year, he had broken through twice in a row.

What kind of cultivation speed was this?!

Wen Zhiyun couldn't calm down for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen An felt that this was a good opportunity to deceive her, so he said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, I told you before."

"Marrying and having children naturally, without excessively suppressing one's desires and emotions, is the correct way of cultivation."

"The reason you have reached the eighth layer of Qi Refining through ascetic cultivation is simply because you have high talent, not because of the ascetic cultivation suppressing your desires."

Is that really the case...

Wen Zhiyun began to doubt.

She started to question whether her previous cultivation beliefs were truly wrong.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen An didn't say much more and silently started eating.
