Chapter 137: 134. Dominant Wood Spirit Root (1/2)

134. Dominant Wood Spirit Root (1/2)

Baicao Lane, the tunnel under the house.

Chen An had just come down from the tunnel entrance when he saw his wives and daughters all sitting below, waiting for his return.

"Husband!"

Upon seeing Chen An return, Song Huaying, who had been feeding their daughter, immediately greeted him with a sweet smile on her face.

Chen An opened his arms to pull her into his embrace, lowered his head, and kissed her small face.

Afterwards, he said gently to the others:

"Everyone wait a moment, I will go put the water into the water vat now; it will be ready to use very soon."

"Husband, no need to rush. You have only just returned, rest for a while first."

Wen Zhiyun said with rare tenderness.

However, Chen Yuejian, who was beside her, was not as considerate, pointing at her younger sister Chen Yike and saying:

"Daddy, little Yike wet the bed, hurry and pour some water out to help her wash up!"

Upon hearing this, Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun and asked: "Did you not use a Cleaning Talisman to help her clean up?"

"You still have the nerve to ask? Haven't the Cleaning Talismans in my Storage Bag all been used up by you long ago?"

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him, chiding him with a look of annoyance.

During these days of moving into the tunnel.

Chen An, having freed up time from alchemy, would dally with his wives and concubines every day.

Among them, he sought to dally with Wen Zhiyun the most.

He had to use a Cleaning Talisman almost every night.

The consumption was great.

Now, being told this by Wen Zhiyun, Chen An also realized what was happening.

He then moved his thoughts, took a Cleaning Talisman from his Storage Bag, and used it on his second daughter, who was looking silly in front of him, making her body fresh and clean once again.

Afterwards, he said to Wen Zhiyun:

"In the future, if you are lacking any daily necessities, remember to tell me; I still have many in my Storage Bag."

Having finished speaking, he looked at the other three wives and concubines, smiling with a voice full of reliability:

"You all as well, tell me if you are lacking anything."

"Husband, what should I do if I am lacking love?"

Song Huaying in his arms was very mischievous, her voice soft and sweet as she spoke with a look that begged for discipline.

Chen An patted her increasingly plump semi-circular curves and smiled meaningfully: "Don't be impatient, when it is time to rest tonight, your husband will properly replenish your love."

"Husband is hateful."

Song Huaying pouted her rosy little lips, her voice coquettish, like a daughter acting spoiled toward her father.

Chen An felt his heart itch as he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Rest assured, tonight your husband will become even more hateful, hateful enough to make you cry."

"Husband, are you thinking of spanking me again?"

Song Huaying blinked her cute eyes, looking up at Chen An with a pitiful expression.

Regarding their flirting, Wen Zhiyun, whose personality was more traditional and conservative, could not bear to watch, and she turned to walk toward the room with their two daughters.

Gu Xinyue felt a wave of envy in her heart, also wanting to flirt with her husband, but she could not quite let go.

Shen Qingyi felt nothing after watching and had no thoughts of taking the initiative to flirt with Chen An.

But if Chen An were to take the initiative to come and flirt with her, she would respond.

In the blink of an eye.

Time arrived at night.

Chen An had accompanied Shen Qingyi last night, so tonight it was Song Huaying's turn.

Because water resources were scarce now, he did not take Song Huaying to take a mandarin duck bath, but instead just finished with one Cleaning Talisman each.

"Husband, the story you told last time was about building a cart behind closed doors; what story are you going to tell me tonight?"

Song Huaying lay beside Chen An, her smooth and delicate slender legs swaying mischievously. She wore only a thin bellyband, revealing most of her snow-white, flawless body, looking exceptionally alluring.

Chen An lay on his side next to her, bored, and reached out to grab one of her restless little feet, rubbing and kneading it in his hands, unable to put it down.

Afterwards, he smiled and said:

"The night is long tonight, so your husband will tell you a story about the Three Ways of the Dao."

"Husband, you've already told that one, can you change to another?"

Song Huaying looked pitiful, making one feel full of desire to ravage her.

Chen An feigned difficulty and said: "Ying doesn't want to hear it because she's already heard it, but what should I do if your husband still likes telling it?"

"Then Ying will obediently listen to husband tell it."

A faint blush rose on Song Huaying's cheeks, and she felt a hidden sense of anticipation in her heart.

The story was very long.

It was told until dawn.

When the morning sun spilled down, Song Huaying was already exhausted, lying flat on the bed panting with somewhat disordered breathing.

Chen An was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator and had a very low need for sleep, so he was still energetic and high-spirited, without a hint of fatigue.

He smoothed the messy hair on Song Huaying's forehead, suddenly remembered something, and said to her:

"By the way, Ying, on the way back from fetching water yesterday, I wiped out a large group of tree demons and obtained many Tree Demon Cores."

"You currently have the Flower God Bloodline and possess a wood-attribute demon core within your body; these Tree Demon Cores should be able to help you nourish your own demon core."

"Try it and see."

Chen An said this, then with a thought, he took out all the Tree Demon Cores from his Storage Bag and handed one of them to Song Huaying.

Song Huaying took it and looked at it, then asked with some confusion on her face, "Husband, how do I use this?"

"It's very simple; just place this Tree Demon Core against the spot closest to your demon core."

Chen An instructed.

Upon hearing this, Song Huaying immediately tried to do so, unable to wait, and placed the Tree Demon Core in her hand against her chest.

Soon after, she discovered with pleasant surprise that a large amount of cool energy was surging out from the Tree Demon Core, flowing into the demon core within her body, and continuously nourishing it.

"Husband, it really works!"

Song Huaying's face was full of surprise, as if she had discovered a new continent and opened the door to a new world.

Having been a mortal since childhood, this was the first time she had experienced such a magical feeling.

Chen An smiled and said, "Since it works, then all these Tree Demon Cores on the bed are yours from now on. Use them well and improve your demon core's aptitude as much as possible."

After saying this, he got dressed, got off the bed, and left the room.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he intended to go to the room next door to spend some intimate time with Gu Xinyue.

Otherwise, his energy was too exuberant, and with nothing to do in the tunnel, it was easy to get pent up and cause problems.

Time flies like an arrow, days and months like a shuttle.

Unknowingly.

More than two months had passed.

During these days.

Aside from going outside to fetch water, Chen An spent all his time in the tunnel lingering with his wives and concubines and playing with his daughters.

On this day, just after finishing dinner.

Chen An crossed his legs, letting his second daughter sit on them to play seesaw.

At the same time, with a thought, he pulled up his system panel to check the attribute data on it after a long time.

【Name: Chen An】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer · 8%】

【Alchemy: Third-tier Beginner · 2%】

【Divine Sense: Third-tier Beginner · 3%】

【Fire Spirit Root: Superior · 65%】

【Gold Spirit Root: Superior · 12%】

【Various Dharma Spells: Golden Finger (Supernatural Level · 21%), Sleep Aid Technique (Grandmaster Level · 37%), Shadow Kill Technique (Grandmaster Level · 23%), Immobilization Technique (Grandmaster Level · 11%)……】

【Spouses: Song Huaying (4-star · 78%), Gu Xinyue (4-star · 55%), Wen Zhiyun (4-star · 58%), Shen Qingyi (2-star · 62%)】

【Offspring: Chen Yuejian (3-star · 88%), Chen Yike (1-star · 47%)】

"Hmm?"

"The panel display mode has been updated?"

"It's much more intuitive."

Chen An looked at the brand-new panel before him, thinking that this system was truly intelligent and could even update automatically.

The current system layout looked much neater, and one could intuitively see the progress bars for each attribute.

It was no longer like before, with a huge pile of numbers that required opening each one to check.

Chen An glanced at the attributes above.

Hmm, his cultivation had broken through last month, reaching the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

His Alchemy Dao realm and Divine Sense strength had also broken through to the third tier.

Then, his gaze fell upon the Fire Spirit Root and Gold Spirit Root.

Under his diligent day-and-night labor, the aptitude of these two types of Spirit Roots had now been raised to the "Superior" level.

The next level up was the "Saint" level, which he hadn't even heard of.

Unfortunately, no matter how high the Spirit Root aptitude was, it only increased the cultivation ceiling at most; it couldn't increase cultivation efficiency by much.

Because the concentration of Spirit Qi in the Mountain Sea Domain was limited, his absorption efficiency of the Spirit Qi in the air had already reached its limit back when he still had a Superior Spirit Root.

Nowadays, to improve cultivation efficiency, he could only move to a world with more concentrated Spirit Qi.

Simply put, the Mountain Sea Domain could not support Spirit Roots with an aptitude as high as "Superior."

However, what Chen An cared about most right now was not the aptitude of the Spirit Roots, but the number of manifest Spirit Roots.

He wanted to collect all five elements of Spirit Roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

In this way, he would be qualified to learn more Dharma Spells.

Especially those three Five Elements escape techniques that had extremely wide applicability.

Wood Escape Technique.

Water Evasion Technique.

Earth Escape Technique.

If he learned these three escape techniques, he would have more confidence when going out in the future.

Even if he encountered an unbeatable enemy, he would have the capital to run away.

Time passed very quickly.

Unknowingly, the night gradually deepened.

At this time, his two young daughters had already gone to bed and fallen asleep.

They were both sleeping in Wen Zhiyun's room.

Wen Zhiyun was inside, sleeping with them.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinyue was in Shen Qingyi's room, humbly asking for advice on cultivation matters.

"Husband, it is time to rest."

At this moment, Song Huaying walked over wearing only a sexy bodice, wrapped one arm around Chen An's neck, sat on his lap, and gazed at him affectionately with alluring, watery eyes.

Those who know, know what that look means.

Chen An did not waste words; he picked her up directly and headed toward the bedroom.

The night was deep; it was time to get to work.

"Ying, have you finished absorbing all those Tree Demon Cores I gave you the other day?"

In the room, Chen An gently placed Song Huaying on the bed, and suddenly remembering this, he asked curiously.

As Song Huaying took off his clothes for him, she replied in a soft, delicate voice:

"Mm, I finished absorbing them a few days ago. Now, I feel that the aptitude of the Demon Core within my body has improved quite a lot."

"Do you have any specific sensations?"

"If I had to describe the sensation, it is that the speed at which I absorb Spirit Qi from the air every day is now more than twice as fast as before, and the total amount I absorb has also increased by nearly tenfold."

"The effect is that good?"

Chen An was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

He pondered that he had only given his little wife a dozen or so Tree Demon Cores.

How could the improvement be so great after absorbing them?

Song Huaying saw his confusion and offered a guess, though she was not entirely certain: "Husband, could it be that the Flower God Bloodline is rather special?"

"Mm, that is very likely."

Chen An nodded, feeling that if nothing unexpected happened, that must be the case.

He reckoned that the Tree Demon Cores were simply responsible for providing nourishment, and as for how much improvement the nourished party could achieve, it all depended on the condition of that party itself.

And the Flower God Bloodline—those four words sounded like they held a very high status.

"Husband, stop dwelling on these things; I can't wait any longer."

Seeing that Chen An seemed to have fallen into deep thought, Song Huaying immediately grabbed his arm and skillfully shook it while acting like a spoiled child.

Chen An glanced at this little flirt and chose to satisfy her properly right now.

About half an incense stick of time later.

【Alchemy Experience +4, Wood Spirit Root +4】

【Wood Spirit Root: Lower Grade · 4%】

"Hm?"

Chen An looked at the two notification messages that had suddenly popped up before him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

PS: Setting out the bowl, begging for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!
