Chapter 110: 108. Taking Precautions (1/2)

108. Taking Precautions (1/2)

After exchanging a few simple words, the two of them quickly began the teaching session.

Shen Qingyi was responsible for teaching.

Chen An was responsible for learning.

Shen Qingyi stepped onto her Changjian.

With a shift of her thoughts.

She rose into the air by sword.

She ascended to a height of over a meter in mid-air.

Afterward, she asked Chen An to come up and stand in front of her, wanting to let Chen An experience the feeling of Sword Flight first.

Chen An did not want to stand in front; he wanted to stand behind.

He said this would allow him to observe and learn better.

Though that was what he said, in reality, he was thinking that by standing behind Shen Qingyi, he would have more opportunities to have some intimate physical contact with her.

Seeing that Chen An had come up and stood steady, Shen Qingyi immediately channeled her Spirit Power, and the sword shot up into the sky.

Many neighbors on the street outside saw this, and every one of them wore a look of surprise.

They never expected that these newly moved-in residents were actually Foundation Establishment powerhouses!

Especially the woman who lived not far ahead.

At noon, the woman had just been showing off to Chen An and Shen Qingyi that her daughter was exceptionally gifted and had the potential for Foundation Establishment.

As a result, she saw Shen Qingyi taking Chen An for a Sword Flight right now; her eyes widened instantly, and she felt a wave of embarrassment in her heart.

She had shown off to the wrong people; it was so humiliating!

High above in the sky.

Chen An felt the speed of the Sword Flight, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Compared to sprinting on the ground, the speed of this Sword Flight was several times faster!

And most importantly, Sword Flight could ignore terrain and shorten the path!

He must learn Sword Flight!

He had to learn it today!

Chen An thought to himself secretly.

In the blink of an eye.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Shen Qingyi was still taking Chen An to experience the feeling of Sword Flight.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly; she looked back at Chen An behind her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Flying too fast, I can't stand steady."

Chen An's hands were wrapped around Shen Qingyi's slender waist, and he explained with an embarrassed look on his face.

Shen Qingyi's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly; she strongly suspected that he was taking advantage of her.

But she had no proof.

Another quarter of an hour later.

Having finished experiencing the Sword Flight, Chen An learned how to perform Sword Flight after fumbling around a bit.

He picked it up very quickly, though he was still a bit unpracticed.

【Sword Flight: Entry (1/100)】

Looking at the notification message that suddenly popped up before his eyes, Chen An felt more and more that it was a loss.

This Sword Flight Technique was so easy to learn, yet the Qin Clan Firm sold it for so much.

How unscrupulous!

No, that wasn't entirely fair to say.

It could only be said that these sects, schools, and clans had too strong a monopoly.

Many rogue cultivators, if they couldn't find someone they knew to teach them, had no choice but to grit their teeth and purchase the high-priced Dharma Spell.

After flying on the sword in the air for a while.

He felt it was about enough.

Chen An quickly descended.

Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't dark yet, he wanted to fly by sword to the Qin Clan Firm now to see if he could return that "Sword Flight Technique."

Otherwise, the longer he dragged it out, the harder it would likely be to return.

But before that, he had to replace the Changjian of Shen Qingyi's that he was stepping on with his own sword.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"I want to step on the sword and fly too!"

Xiao Yuejian had been looking up at the sky eagerly from below for a long time; seeing her father finally land, she immediately trotted over, her face full of pleading.

Chen An smiled, picked his daughter up, placed her on the sword, and said to her, "Come, Xiao Yuejian, hold tight to Daddy's leg, and Daddy will take you for a Sword Flight."

"I'm holding tight, Daddy, fly fast!"

Xiao Yuejian was not afraid of heights at all; she only thought about flying high up.

No more words were spoken.

With a shift of his thoughts, Chen An, looking slightly unpracticed, took his daughter and began to fly by sword above the house.

Because he had just mastered it and was not yet proficient, he did not dare to fly too high with his daughter.

The flight altitude was only slightly higher than the house.

Yet even so, his daughter Chen Yuejian was uncontrollably excited, her little face flushed red.

【You took your daughter Chen Yuejian for a Sword Flight, making her feel unprecedented excitement; Affection +1, Sword Flight proficiency +1.】

【Father-daughter affection: 1 star (24/100)】

【Sword Flight Technique: Entry (10/100)】

This works too?

Chen An was slightly stunned at first, then felt a burst of wild joy in his heart; he hadn't expected cultivation to be this simple—he could become stronger just by raising his child at home.

At this moment, the wives and concubines in the kitchen heard the commotion above the courtyard and heard Chen Yuejian's giggling laughter, so they couldn't help but curiously come out to see what was happening.

When they saw Chen An taking his daughter Chen Yuejian Sword Flying in the sky, all three of them couldn't help but reveal looks of surprise, shocked that their husband could actually fly.

"Husband, I want to go Sword Flying too!"

Song Huaying cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at Chen An in the sky.

Gu Xinyue and Wen Zhiyun wanted to as well, but they didn't follow suit and shout.

One was because she was not good with words, and the other was because she was a tsundere.

After hearing the shout from his little wife below.

Chen An quickly brought his daughter back down to the ground.

He intended to reward his little wife.

To let her experience the joy of flying.

However, his daughter was unwilling; she pouted her soft, pink cherry lips and said with a wronged expression, "Daddy, I haven't flown enough yet; I want to keep flying."

"You've already flown for so long, can't you let Mommy fly for a bit?"

Song Huaying had a major issue with her daughter, feeling that this little girl was an ungrateful wretch who was close to her father but not her mother; she felt she was almost raised to be useless and wanted to start over with a new one.

Watching this scene of maternal kindness and filial piety, Chen An was also left between laughter and tears.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyi immediately Sword Flew to a stop in front of Chen Yuejian and said to her with a smile, "Xiao Yuejian, come up to Sister Shen; Sister Shen will take you flying."

"Okay."

Chen Yuejian replied in a crisp voice and walked over.

Shen Qingyi happily picked her up and placed her to stand in front of herself on the sword.

Song Huaying felt a bit uncomfortable watching this, but she didn't say anything more.

Chen An noticed his little wife's anomaly, thinking that he would have to educate his daughter in the future; he couldn't let her be so disobedient to his little wife or fail to be close to her.

In the time that followed.

Chen An had Song Huaying stand up and took her for a Sword Flight.

Song Huaying had been a bit depressed, but once they were in the air, her mood immediately brightened significantly.

Feeling the breeze blowing against her face, Song Huaying was just as excited as her daughter had been earlier.

"Husband, the feeling of flying is so good!"

"If Ying likes it, your husband will let you fly every day from now on."

"Husband, do you think it would be very interesting if we did *that* while Sword Flying?"

Song Huaying said with her beautiful eyes shimmering.

Chen An listened and smiled without speaking, thinking to himself that his little wife really knew how to play; despite not being a modern person, she had a more open mind than modern people, with thoughts already advanced to the stage of wanting to perform artificial rain.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen An brought Song Huaying back to the ground.

He helped Song Huaying step down from the sword, then looked at Gu Xinyue and Wen Zhiyun to the side and asked, "Which of you two wants to go first?"

"Yue, you go first."

Wen Zhiyun was older and knew how to yield to the younger one.

They had been sisters for over a year, so Gu Xinyue didn't stand on ceremony and lightly leaped onto Chen An's sword.

"Husband, I'm a little afraid of heights; when you Sword Fly later, can you hold me?"

"Mm, your husband will hold Yue tightly."

As Chen An spoke, he reached out to wrap his arms around Gu Xinyue's slender, graspable waist, letting her sexy and alluring back press tightly against his body.

Then, with a thought, he rose into the air on the sword.

Another quarter of an hour later.

Chen An brought Gu Xinyue down, then switched to the tsundere concubine Wen Zhiyun.

In the blink of an eye, another quarter of an hour passed.

Chen An brought Wen Zhiyun down slowly, feeling a bit depressed in his heart.

It was clear that flying with his daughter earlier had increased his Sword Flight proficiency.

Why didn't it work now that he had switched to his wives and concubines?

Could this system be a daughter-con?

Chen An couldn't figure it out, so he took his wives and daughter for another round of Sword Flight one after another.

The result remained the same; only flying with his daughter could increase his Sword Flight proficiency.

It seemed this system really was a daughter-con.

In the time that followed.

The three wives and concubines, having just enjoyed themselves in the sky, returned to the kitchen chatting and laughing, and together they carried the freshly prepared meal to the hall, preparing to start dinner.

Taking advantage of the time before the meal, Chen An told his wives and concubines that he needed to go out for a while.

Then.

He went alone by Sword Flight to the Market on Wenliu Street, intending to return the "Sword Flight Technique".

Sword Flight is faster than running on land, and the distance traveled is also much shorter.

In just a short while, Chen An arrived at the Qin Clan Firm.

He walked into the firm.

He found the female cultivator from last time to explain his purpose.

After only a moment, the "Sword Flight Technique" was successfully refunded.

Chen An felt somewhat surprised; he had not expected this Qin Clan Firm to be so easy to deal with.

His impression of them improved significantly in an instant.

After thinking it over, he decided to patronize their business once more.

He strolled around and took a look.

In the end, Chen An took a liking to two formation manuals and one large-sized Flying Sword.

"Cloud Veil Array": A defensive formation; when deployed, it generates a cloud wall around the perimeter of the formation, which can block enemy intrusion and withstand enemy attacks, though its effect on enemies at the Foundation Establishment level is limited.

Price: 1 High-grade Spirit Stone.

"Lightning Strike Array": An offensive formation; when deployed, it can imbue the "Cloud Veil Array" with offensive properties, causing the clouds to release lightning strikes to counterattack when struck by enemies, capable of killing anyone below Foundation Establishment in a single blow.

Price: 1 High-grade Spirit Stone.

"Flying Boat Sword": A large-scale manned Flying Sword, three meters long and half a meter wide, capable of carrying multiple people, and can be embedded with Spirit Stones to assist in flight, saving the Spirit Power consumption of the one performing Sword Flight.

Price: 1 High-grade Spirit Stone.

"The formations are for guarding the home and protecting my wife and daughter, and the Flying Sword is for carrying people to take my wife and daughter out; these are worth buying."

Chen An made his decision in his heart.

He immediately took out 3 High-grade Spirit Stones, didn't even blink, paid directly to buy both the formations and the Flying Sword, and then stored them all into his Storage Bag.

Afterwards, he spent another 1 High-grade Spirit Stone to buy a large pile of materials for refining Small Restoration Pills, preparing for the next few days when he would learn to refine Small Restoration Pills himself.

After thinking about it, he spent an extra 1 High-grade Spirit Stone to purchase a large pile of daily necessities.

For example, Spirit Rice, dried Demon Beast meat, a Water Gathering Spirit Jar, and so on.

Among them, the function of the Water Gathering Spirit Jar is that as long as the spirit jar is placed in a well-ventilated area, the jar can extract moisture from the air and store it inside for people to use.

Most importantly, the concentration of Spirit Qi in the water collected this way is higher than that of naturally formed water, and it is better for the body when consumed.

With these supplies, plus the spirit vegetables grown at home, the Spirit Chickens raised in the chicken coop, and the Spirit Fish kept in the pond.

Even if he didn't leave the house for ten years, Chen An could still live a comfortable and enjoyable life at home.

There is absolutely no need to worry about running out of supplies.

It can't be helped; this world is so dangerous.

One must take precautions.

This is a habit of hoarding food that Chen An developed while living in the Bamboo Leaf Forest before.

Now that he has come to the even more dangerous Red Cedar Forest, he must carry this habit forward even more.

After all, the Red Cedar Forest is located within the Mountain Sea Domain, where Demon Beasts are everywhere, and one never knows when a demon disaster might break out.

Just like the previous Blood Demon Chaos.

PS: I have to work overtime at the library today, so there are only two updates, but they are both large chapters of 3000 words, which is equivalent to 3 small chapters of 2000 words.
