Chapter 70: 68. The Arrival of the Law Enforcement Hall (1/3)

68. The Arrival of the Law Enforcement Hall (1/3)

The "Body Forging Technique" for strengthening the body.

The "Meditation Art" for calming the spirit and sharpening the mind.

The "Health Preservation Technique" for longevity.

No matter how one looks at it, these three Cultivation Methods are very suitable for the little delicate wife to practice.

It would not be an exaggeration to say they are a perfect fit.

Thus, Chen An asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, do these three Cultivation Methods have any cultivation thresholds?"

Although they are said to be Cultivation Methods for mortals, there is a saying: one cannot generalize the physique of one person with another, and likewise, one cannot generalize the physique of one mortal with another.

Therefore, it is necessary to ask clearly whether these three Cultivation Methods have any cultivation thresholds, so as to avoid buying them only to find the little delicate wife cannot practice them, wasting money in vain.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Alchemist Chen, rest assured, there are no thresholds for practicing these three mundane Cultivation Methods."

"Whether it is a man or a woman, an old person or a child, as long as they are a person, they can practice them."

"To exaggerate a bit, even if you go to the street and find a dog, as long as that dog can understand the characters on them, even a dog could practice them."

In order to dispel Chen An's concerns and get him to buy these three mundane Cultivation Methods, Shopkeeper Liu spoke more and more exaggeratedly, boasting to the high heavens.

Chen An smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you speak so nicely, but if the goods don't match the description after I buy them back, what then?"

"If the goods don't match, you can just bring them back for a refund."

After speaking, Shopkeeper Liu continued with a smile, "I wonder which one Alchemist Chen has taken a fancy to, or do you want them all?"

"I want all three. Give me a discount, 50 Low-grade Spirit Stones for the whole bundle, how about it?"

"This..."

Shopkeeper Liu looked troubled and hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Alright, for the sake of Alchemist Chen often supplying us with pills, 50 Low-grade Spirit Stones it is."

Money was handed over, and the goods were received.

After buying these three mundane Cultivation Methods, Chen An did not linger, and carrying the Dual Cultivation Technique he had bought first, he walked out of Zhenbao Hang.

Just after stepping out and walking two steps, he bumped into that female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect who was at the Foundation Establishment stage coming toward him.

The other party still had the same style of dress as that day, wearing a Black Tight Suit and a high ponytail.

The only difference was that the Changjian with the green scabbard was not worn at her waist, but held in her hand.

On the blade, there were spots of fresh blood.

Did she just come back from killing someone?

Chen An thought to himself, and soon brushed past her.

In an instant, a fragrance that intoxicated the heart and spleen rushed into his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.

It was not the scent of flowers, nor a perfume sachet, but more like a natural body scent.

After putting a little distance between them.

Chen An could not help but look back at the back of the Xuanhuang Sect female disciple, his gaze involuntarily falling onto her tight, perky, semi-circular curves, his heart filled with the word "stunner."

"Once I become a Second-tier Alchemist, join the Treasure Pavilion, and my cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will see if there is a chance to have some contact with this Xuanhuang Sect female disciple."

This thought arose in Chen An's heart.

Green Willow Alley, in front of the house.

With four Cultivation Methods tucked in his chest and a wooden box in each hand, Chen An leaped lightly into the courtyard and walked slowly toward the house.

Of the two boxes in his hands, one contained three pieces of jewelry and the other contained pastries and sweet fruits; they were gifts he had specifically bought for his wife and daughter on his way back from the Market.

Going out for a trip and bringing back some gifts helps to improve the affection between husband and wife, and father and daughter.

"Daddy!"

The daughter, who was squatting in front of the house watching ants, saw her father return and immediately stood up and trotted over.

Chen An stacked the two boxes together, freed a hand to pick up his daughter, and skillfully rubbed his stubble against her face, making her giggle incessantly.

"Husband, let me help you carry the boxes."

Song Huaying, who had just been looking after their daughter nearby, walked over with a virtuous smile.

Chen An let her take the boxes, then used his freed hand to pull her into his arms and walk toward the house, feeling as happy as could be.

"Husband, what is inside here?"

Song Huaying looked at the box in her hand, her face, lightly applied with rouge, full of curiosity.

Chen An smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you yet, I'll give you a surprise when we eat later."

"No, Husband, Ying wants to know now."

Song Huaying pouted her rosy little lips slightly, relying on her petite and charming appearance, and acted coquettishly in a way that made one feel pity for her.

Her daughter Chen Yuejian followed suit and acted coquettishly, "Daddy, I want to know too."

"Acting coquettishly won't work; just wait patiently until it's time to eat."

Chen An looked at his wife and daughter and smiled.

Soon, all three walked into the house and arrived at the hall.

Gu Xinyue was serving dishes at the dining table. Seeing Chen An had returned, she sensibly pulled out a chair for him and smiled slightly, "Husband, please sit."

"Yue is so well-behaved."

Chen An said, stepping forward to kiss Gu Xinyue.

【Affection +1】

"Husband, I want one too."

Song Huaying pursed her lips and acted coquettishly.

Chen An smiled and kissed his little delicate wife.

"Daddy, I want one too!"

Daughter Chen Yuejian imitated her mother's expression, pursed her little lips, and blinked her large, exquisite eyes as she spoke.

Chen An satisfied his daughter's request and smiled, kissing her on her little cheek.

At this moment, Wen Zhiyun, who had been cultivating in her room, came out.

Chen An saw her and beckoned to her, saying:

"Zhiyun, come here. Your husband must treat everyone equally; come over quickly and give your husband a kiss."

"Look at you and your behavior."

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes with charm and spoke in a huffy tone, but her body was very honest as she walked to Chen An to let him kiss her.

Before long, all the dishes were served.

The family of five sat together to eat.

When they were resting after the meal, Chen An picked up the two boxes and opened them in front of his wives and daughter.

Upon seeing them, the wives and daughter all revealed expressions of surprise.

The three wives and concubines looked at the jewelry in the box, each of them loving it immensely.

Daughter Chen Yuejian looked at the pastries and sweet fruits in the other box with stars in her eyes, and without a word, she reached out, took some, and stuffed them into her little mouth to start eating.

Seeing his daughter eating so hurriedly, Chen An smiled and flicked her little face, telling her to eat slowly and not to choke.

Afterward, he picked up the jewelry from the box and personally put it on the three wives and concubines.

【You gave your daughter Chen Yuejian a box of pastries and sweet fruits; affection +3.】

【You gave your wives and concubines jewelry and personally put it on them; affection +5+4+6.】

After the meal.

The night gradually deepened.

Chen An was comfortably taking a bath with Gu Xinyue in the bathroom, having an in-depth discussion with her about techniques for increasing Divine Sense strength.

About half an hour passed.

The bath ended.

Chen An wiped his body dry, put on his clothes, and walked straight toward his young wife's room.

It was a three-day rotation, and tonight it was his young wife's turn.

"Ying, your husband has arrived."

Chen An pushed open the door and walked in, speaking in a gentle voice.

Song Huaying was only wearing a thin bodice, sitting on the bed reading a book. Seeing him walk in, she immediately put down the book in her hand, her eyes full of tenderness as she said:

"Husband, Ying has already rested well; tonight I will serve you well."

"Don't worry, Ying, your husband already has a way to keep you from being so exhausted."

Chen An walked to the bedside and sat down, gently blowing out the candle on the bedside table with one breath, then pulled his young wife into his arms and fell onto the bed.

In a flash.

Time arrived at the next day.

The sky was still slightly dim.

Song Huaying got out of bed and walked around twice, feeling that her body was not tired at all, and couldn't help but say with a face full of surprise:

"Husband, Ying is not tired at all; this is so magical!"

"If you're not tired, then rest a while longer."

"Hmph hmph, today Ying is going to make it so that Husband cannot refine any alchemy all morning!"

"Come on then, your husband is looking forward to it."

Chen An said this as he pulled his young wife, who had walked over, into his arms, thinking that buying the "Flying Mandarin Ducks" was truly worth it.

Although this Cultivation Method had no substantial help for cultivation, it could greatly improve the experience during intimacy, so that his young wife would no longer be as exhausted as before after every time, so that she would no longer be depressed every time they were intimate, and so that she could regain the confidence she had as a wife when she first married him.

In the blink of an eye.

The sun was high in the sky.

Chen An sat by the bed, took out the three books of mundane martial arts, and handed them to Song Huaying, introducing the Cultivation Method to her in detail and telling her to study them on her own in the future, and if there was anything she didn't understand, she could go ask Wen Zhiyun.

In this household, when it came to cultivation, no one was as experienced as Wen Zhiyun.

As for Chen An himself, he had great self-awareness regarding this, knowing that he only broke through so quickly by cheating with the system, and his true cultivation level was a complete mess.

After eating breakfast.

Chen An was, as usual, holed up in the Alchemy Room diligently refining alchemy, needing to work hard to earn more Spirit Stones.

He had gone to the Treasure Pavilion yesterday, and more than half of his savings were gone in an instant, which made him feel very insecure; he had to earn it back as soon as possible.

He refined for a long time.

He felt tired.

Chen An sat down to rest and moved his thoughts to pull up the Alchemy progress bar to check it.

【Alchemy: First-tier Advanced (2346/2500)】

"Almost there, only 154 points of experience left."

"With the assistance of 'Flying Mandarin Ducks', if nothing goes wrong, I should be able to break through within three days."

"Break through to become a Second-tier Alchemist!"

Chen An was filled with anticipation.

After resting for a while, he continued refining alchemy.

Just as he was engrossed in refining, a loud shout suddenly came from the alley outside.

"Everyone in Green Willow Alley, quickly put down what you are doing and come out to assemble to assist our Law Enforcement Hall in investigating the disappearance of Deacon Tang from the hall!"

Investigating the disappearance of Deacon Tang?

Chen An in the Alchemy Room felt his heart tighten the moment he heard this.
