How could this bird be so big! Chen An looked at the giant bird flying towards him at a very fast speed, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

This is the innate fear that humans have when facing giants.

Soon, Chen An calmed down.

He focused his spiritual consciousness on the giant bird and spied on its cultivation.

The next moment, the words "Golden Elixir Ninety Percent Perfection" emerged in his mind.

This is a terrifying monster whose strength is infinitely close to the Nascent Soul stage! After a few breaths.

The woman in purple skirt controlled the giant bird and flew to the top of Chen An's head, then stood on the bird's head and looked down at Chen An from above.

This time, she didn't start talking nonsense like she did before, but directly gave an order to the giant bird under her feet: "Destroy him for me!"

This "he" refers to Chen An below.

When the giant bird heard the order, it immediately flapped its pair of wings that covered the sky and the sun towards Chen An, creating a powerful airflow that was intended to kill him.

Feeling the horror of the airflow, Chen An did not dare to confront it head-on. Instead, he used the Shadow Killing Technique to teleport behind the woman in purple skirt on the bird's head.

Then, he used a deliberate punch and slammed it into the purple-dressed woman's head.

However! Just as Chen An threw a punch, countless glowing feathers suddenly stood up around the purple-dressed woman, forming a solid shield that protected the purple-dressed woman from 360 degrees without blind spots.

"Bang!"

Just heard this sound.

Chen An's fist hit the giant bird's feathers hard, but failed to penetrate the feathers. Instead, his finger bones were shattered and fractured, causing an immediate burst of severe pain.

The feathers of this giant bird are too strong.

It is impossible to break the defense with fists alone.

Deliberate punches can only ignore defensive measures, and the exact amount of damage that can be caused depends on the user's own strength.

However, Chen An’s current strength is obviously not enough to hurt this giant bird whose cultivation is infinitely close to the Nascent Soul stage.

The body of this giant bird is too strong. It is not something that a human cultivator like him, who is only at the first level of the Golden Core Realm, can challenge.

“Buzz…buzz…buzz!”

Suddenly, countless feathers from the giant bird shot up into the sky.

These feathers were like sharp arrows, shooting towards Chen An with a "whoosh".

Chen An reacted extremely quickly and started retreating the moment the feather soared into the sky.

Unfortunately, the feathers were coming at too fast a speed and in too many numbers.

Although he tried his best to dodge, a flying feather still hit his shoulder.

There was a "pop" sound and the shoulder was instantly pierced.

Blood splattered.

The bones were crushed into powder.

Chen An clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain from his shoulder. He thought about it and took out a Dahuan Dan, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Then, the injured shoulder healed instantly and returned to its original state without any trace of injury.

"You are doomed today!"

"No one can save you!"

"I will repay all the inhuman suffering I suffered that day a hundredfold!"

The angry and triumphant voice of the woman in purple skirt rang out from the feather wall above the bird's head.

Chen An didn't have time to pay attention to her as he was busy dodging the feathers that were flying at him continuously.

The giant bird cannot be hit.

The fox demon can't be hurt.

There's no escape.

no!

This is not a solution!

I will be shot to death sooner or later! I have to seek change! Chen An was anxious, but not panicked, his mind was turning rapidly.

Just then, he noticed a pink heart appearing in the giant bird's pupil.

This proves that the giant bird was bewitched by a fox demon.

Sage's Art! I can try to use the Sage's Art on the giant bird! As soon as the thought came out, Chen An flew to the head of the giant bird and used the Sage's Art on it at close range.

The next moment, the love in the eyes of the giant bird, which had been bewitched by the fox demon and turned into a puppet, instantly disappeared.

The charm was broken! The giant bird gradually regained consciousness and looked at the unfamiliar environment with confusion in its eyes.

Soon, it noticed the woman in the purple dress above its head and smelled a hint of the scent of a fox demon. It instantly realized that it had just been bewitched by the woman in the purple dress who was suspected to be a fox demon, and it became extremely angry.

It immediately retracted the feathers that were protecting the woman in the purple dress, threw her off its body like an ant, and then grabbed her with its claws.

The woman in the purple dress was still wondering why her charm had suddenly failed, and the next moment she was caught by the sharp claws and exploded in the air, turning into fur all over the sky and a lifeless tail that slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time, the barrier in front created by the Heaven and Earth Prison Talisman also disappeared without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Chen An immediately flew away on his sword to avoid the giant bird's anger.

Fortunately, the giant bird ignored him. After killing the woman in purple dress, it quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

Looking at the giant bird flying farther and farther away, Chen An felt a pang of fear in his heart.

Fortunately, the sage's art can be released to the outside world.

Otherwise, even if he doesn’t die today, he will at least be skinned alive.

At this moment, the sound transmission note in the storage bag vibrated.

Someone sent a message.

Chen An had an idea and took out a phone. It was a message from his wives and concubines at home.

"Husband, why haven't you come back yet so late?"

It was the voice of my young wife Song Huaying, and it sounded full of worry.

Chen An replied: "I encountered some problems on the way there and back today, which delayed me a little, but I'm on my way back now, and I'll be home in a quarter of an hour at most."

"Husband, what happened to you?" This time it was Gu Xinyue's voice, and she sounded even more worried than Song Huaying just now, "Did you run into that fox demon again?"

"This is a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I get back." Chen An said calmly.

Gu Xinyue said: "Okay, then my husband, please be careful on your way back."

Chen An replied: "Well, let's not talk about it for now. See you at home later."

…

Baicao Lane.

In the tunnel.

When Chen An walked down, his wife and daughters were already sitting in the hall waiting for him.

His wives and concubines were waiting for him to return, while his two daughters were waiting for the spiritual cakes he bought.

"Husband, drink some water."

Gu Xinyue was quite sensible. When she saw Chen An coming in, she immediately stood up and handed him a cup of cool well water that she had poured in advance.

Chen An took the bamboo tube and drank it all, with a satisfied look on his face as his thirst was relieved.

This satisfied look was deliberately shown to Gu Xinyue. After all, with his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to feel thirsty.

"Dad, did you buy the spirit cake?"

"Dad, I want to eat some spiritual cake!"

The two daughters came up to Chen An and looked up at him expectantly.

Among them, the silly second daughter Chen Yike was so greedy that her mouth was watering, she was definitely a little foodie.

Wen Zhiyun couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them, "You two idiots, Daddy just came back from outside, as his daughters, you should pull out a stool for Daddy to sit down and rest, and then pour him some water to drink!"

"How can there be people like you two, who come in and open their mouths to ask for food!"

"You are so ignorant!"

Wen Zhiyun's tone was very stern, and the two young daughters immediately became listless and dared not say a word.

Song Huaying added, "That's right. You two girls are so ignorant. From now on, your father and mother will not love you anymore."

"Mom, I was wrong, please don't be unloving to me!"

Chen Yue was so panicked that she quickly ran to Song Huaying, hugged her legs, raised her pitiful little face and said.

Chen Yike looked rather silly, and just shrank into place with a submissive look on his face, not daring to say a word.

It seems that he is afraid of making more mistakes if he says more.

Or maybe he doesn't dare to act coquettishly in front of his fierce mother.

As a father, Chen An also felt that his two daughters were not caring enough, so he was not in a hurry to give them the spirit cakes.

Instead, he took out the colorful clothes from the storage bag and gave them as gifts to his wives and concubines first.

When the wives and concubines saw the bright and colorful clothes in front of them, their eyes flashed with light.

It was obvious that he loved these clothes very much.

But even though she liked him, Wen Zhiyun still said to Chen An: "Husband, I told you not to waste money on buying us gifts, why did you still buy them?"

"I didn't buy it. This was given as a gift when I bought the recipe."

"Is it given as a gift when you buy the pill formula?"

Wen Zhiyun flipped the silver gracefully and said unhappily, "You might as well say you picked it up. That would be more convincing."

Chen An was also speechless and explained:

"I bought 20 third-level elixir recipes in one go at the business. The shopkeeper saw that I bought a lot, so he gave me two extra recipes, a dozen pieces of clothing, and nearly a hundred boxes of spirit cakes."

Spirit cake!

When Chen Yike heard these two words, her big, watery eyes suddenly lit up.

She wanted to run over and hug Chen An's thighs, looking up and shouting, "Dad, I want to eat spiritual cake!"

But because her strict mother was right beside her, she dared not act rashly for fear of being scolded and beaten.

Wen Zhiyun looked doubtful and asked, "Husband, is what you said true?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Chen An was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters and put all the clothes on the table.

Then, he said to his wives and daughters, "There are twelve pieces of clothing in total. Xiao Yuejian and Xiao Yike will also have a share, two pieces each. You can choose among yourselves."

"No need to pick. These clothes can be worn by my three sisters and me in turns. This way, each of us will have eight new clothes to wear." Song Huaying said.

After hearing this, Wen Zhiyun smiled and said, "Ying'er is smart."

At this time, Shen Qingyi, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Husband, you said in the sound transmission note earlier that you encountered trouble on the way there and back. What exactly happened?"

"Oh, here's what happened..."

After listening for a while.

Shen Qingyi's slender and beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she said with some concern: "My husband, that fox demon can always escape by cutting off its tail, and then come back again. Isn't this a bit too difficult to deal with?"

"Although the fox demon poses no threat to you now, I am worried that something unexpected will happen if it continues for a long time and happens more often."

What Shen Qingyi said makes sense.

After hearing this, Chen An nodded and said, "This is indeed a hidden danger, but I am very confident that I can pass the test of Tiandi Sect's Dan Hall."

"When the time comes, our family will be able to move to the Tiandi Sect and settle down, and we won't have to worry about being harassed by that fox demon anymore."

After talking for a few more sentences.

The topic of fox demons was basically skipped.

The wives and concubines' eyes once again fell on the beautiful clothes on the table.

When several people saw styles that suited them, they took off their clothes and put them on in public.

Anyway, my husband is the only man in the family, and the rest are sisters and daughters, so they can take off their clothes however they want.

Even walking around naked in the tunnel all day would be fine if you didn't feel ashamed.

While his wives and concubines were trying on clothes, Chen An was distributing spirit cakes to his two daughters.

Although the second daughter's appetite is much bigger than that of the eldest daughter, Chen An always divides the food equally according to the quantity.

The two daughters each got 40 boxes, and in the end there was one box left.

It was a box of spirit cakes with the flavor of snow fruit.

Cool taste.

The taste is sweet.

This is the most delicious box among the eighty-one boxes of spirit cakes.

At the same time, it is also the most expensive box.

Both daughters have eaten it before and love it.

There were seven pieces of Tianxue Guoling cakes in the box, just enough for each member of the family of seven to get one, so they were divided equally.

As soon as the second daughter Chen Yike got the Tianxue Fruit Spirit Cake, she ate it in two or three bites without thinking, with a look of satisfaction on her little round face.

In comparison, the eldest daughter Chen Yuejian likes to save the delicious food for last.

She put the Tianxue Fruit Spirit Cake away, planning to enjoy the delicious Tianxue Fruit Spirit Cake after she finished eating the other spirit cakes.

Soon, the day was over.

In the following days.

Chen An never left the tunnel once.

Apart from being with his wives and concubines and playing with his daughter, he spent the rest of his time in the alchemy room learning how to make third-level pills.

With the previous experience of refining third-level pills, he was much more efficient in learning to refine third-level pills this time.

Basically, you can learn to refine a new third-level elixir every day.

On this day, Chen An was learning to refine the twelfth new third-level elixir in the alchemy room when suddenly a noise came from Wen Zhiyun's room next door.

"Tell me, did you steal my Tianxue Guoling Cake?"

"No, I don't have that. Don't talk nonsense!"

"It must be you who stole it!"

"I didn't steal anything!!!"

“…”

Hearing the two daughters arguing, Chen An was worried that they would fight, so he got up and went to see what was going on.

After walking into Wen Zhiyun's room for a while.

Chen An saw his eldest daughter Chen Yuejian, who was cornering his second daughter Chen Yike with a fierce look on her face, blaming Chen Yike for stealing her Tianxue Guoling Cake.

"Dad, my sister is bullying me!"

Seeing Chen An coming in, Chen Yike immediately squatted down and crawled under her sister Chen Yuejian's crotch, then ran behind Chen An to hide and seek shelter.

Chen Yuejian ran over right after him and complained angrily, "Daddy, little Yi Ke stole my Tianxue Guoling Cake!"

"No way!"

Chen Yike's voice is very loud.

Chen Yuejian pointed at some crumbs of spirit cake on the corner of her mouth and asked loudly:

"You ate all the spiritual cakes that Daddy gave you that day, and now more than ten days have passed since that day. How come there are spiritual cake crumbs on the corners of your mouth now?!"

After listening to her sister Chen Yuejian's analysis, Chen Yike's face suddenly changed.

Oh my god, how can my sister be so smart?! Then, she quickly reached out to wipe off the crumbs of the spiritual cake on the corner of her mouth, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth to eat, not wasting any of it, and then she refused to admit it: "Where are the crumbs of spiritual cake in the corner of my mouth?"

"Don't wrongly accuse me!"

Chen Yuejian couldn't stand such blatant sophistry, so she walked over to beat Chen Yike.

Although she couldn't beat Chen Yike, she was now in the right and could get her father to stand on her side and help her.

"mother!"

"Sister, she's making a nest!"

“Ahhh…”

Seeing that the situation was not good and his father seemed to be on his sister's side, Chen Yike made a prompt decision and chose to use the ancient forbidden technique - the Mother Summoning Technique.

Soon, Wen Zhiyun came in from outside and said with a stern face, "What are you two doing? Can you be quiet?"

After these words were spoken, the two daughters dared not continue making trouble and fell silent.

"Mother Wen, little Yi Ke stole my Tianxue fruit."

Chen Yue couldn't swallow this anger, so she complained to Wen Zhiyun with a look of grievance.

After hearing this, Wen Zhiyun immediately looked at her silly daughter hiding behind Chen An, and asked with a gloomy face: "Chen Yike, did you steal my sister's spiritual cake?"

"Nest, Nest..."

Chen Yike wanted to quibble, but under her mother's fierce gaze, she instinctively backed off and did not dare to lie in front of her mother, for fear of being beaten if she was exposed.

Seeing her silly daughter hesitating and unable to answer, Wen Zhiyun already knew the result.

Her face suddenly turned cold, and she pulled Chen Yike, who was hiding behind Chen An, out, pressed Chen Yike on her thighs, and raised her hands to slap Chen Yike's little butt wildly! "Pa! Pa! Pa..."

“Ahhhhhhh…”

All of a sudden, there were crisp slapping sounds in the room, and Chen Yike's loud crying that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

Chen Yike's use of the ancient forbidden technique backfired and he was attacked by the creature he summoned.

Looking at the scene in the room, Chen An was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Then he quickly left the room and returned to the alchemy room to continue learning how to refine third-level pills.

In a blink of an eye.

Half a month passed.

Chen An successfully learned all the twenty-two third-level elixir recipes he bought, and has mastered them over the past three days. His proficiency has reached a very high level.

"In just about a month, I have learned how to refine 22 new third-level elixirs. This efficiency is really good."

"Well, it's time to go to the market and buy a new third-level elixir recipe to study."

"We need to buy some medicinal herbs as well. Our previous stock is almost gone."

"But it's getting late now, let's wait until tomorrow."

"It seems like it's my turn to sleep with Qingyi today, and it's almost time."

Thinking of this, Chen An got up and went to Shen Qingyi's room. He wanted to play a role-playing game of female knight and thief with her to increase the interest of the couple.

About three hours later.

[Swordsmanship +3, Gold Spiritual Root Aptitude +3] x36 "Husband, can you please stop saying such obscene things in the future? It makes me embarrassed to hear them."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

"Oh well."

Shen Qingyi was a little reluctant, but finally chose to accommodate Chen An.

Not long after, Shen Qingyi fell asleep.

She hasn't slept for almost half a month. It's time to get some sleep.

Chen An, who was hugging her, was very energetic at this moment.

He wanted to continue making love with his wives and concubines in bed, but all four of them were already asleep.

He wanted to refine pills, but all the materials needed to make them were used up.

He wanted to refine spirit stones for cultivation, but he only had a few spirit stones in his pocket, so he had to save them for buying the recipe for the third-level elixir and learning how to refine it.

"Forget it. I'm just sitting in the tunnel doing nothing anyway. I might as well go to the market and sell some things for money. Then I can buy some third-level elixir recipes."

After thinking about it, Chen An took out paper and pen and left a message to his sleeping wives and concubines, saying that he was going to the market.

Then, he quickly left the tunnel.

Just walked out of the tunnel and prepared to fly away on the sword.

Chen An's expression suddenly changed.

He saw a familiar figure not far ahead.

It was none other than the woman in the purple skirt! Chen An looked closely and found that the woman in the purple skirt was squatting around the tunnel and painting, and the ground was covered with talismans with various ancient runes.

It seems that some kind of formation is being set up.

Seeing this scene, Chen An suddenly felt a chill and fear in his heart.

This fox demon knows that I live in the tunnel! The formation she is setting up now is targeting me! This tunnel cannot be lived in! Also, this fox demon must be dealt with in a way!

She will break off her tail and escape. We can no longer kill her directly like before! Imprisonment!

She must be imprisoned!

Limit her freedom!

In just a short moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Chen An's mind, and he finally came up with this solution.

After he had the idea in mind, he immediately used the Sage's Technique on himself, putting himself into the Sage Mode which made him immune to charm.

Then, under the faint moonlight, he used the Shadow Killing Technique along the shadows of the grass and trees, quietly approaching the back of the woman in purple skirt.
