Chen An looked at the prompt message that popped up in front of him.

I was slightly stunned at first.

Then I felt ecstatic.

"Any creature that swallows my blood will become my slave forever and will never be able to rebel against me. Isn't this ancient secret technique for me to use against that fox demon?"

Chen An thought about it and became more and more excited.

But soon, he calmed down.

This ancient forbidden technique has triggering conditions and is only effective against creatures whose cultivation level is lower than that of the user.

The fox demon's cultivation level was the middle stage of the Golden Core, which was only one step away from the fifth level of the Golden Core.

In other words, if I want the forbidden technique of Blood Essence Slavery to be effective against that fox demon, my cultivation must at least break through to the fifth level of Golden Core.

But currently my cultivation is only at the first level of Golden Core, and there are still five small realms away from the fifth level of Golden Core.

To be honest, this is not a goal that can be achieved in the short term.

Unless the second daughter learns how to draw air into the body.

In addition, the eldest daughter successfully gathered Qi and became a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

Perhaps, by then I could rely on the system’s rewards to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core in one go.

Not long.

Everyone finished breakfast.

Everyone soon went about their own business.

Chen An walked into his room and tried to use the ancient forbidden technique of blood and essence enslavement.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, and naturally mobilized the blood in his body, gathering it on the index finger of his right hand, and concentrating his mind to condense a drop of essence blood.

This drop of essence blood emerged from the fingertips and floated quietly on the fingertips like a elixir fire. It was filled with qi and blood power, and it looked a bit evil.

"I feel a little dizzy..."

"My limbs started to feel weak..."

"The face gradually turned pale..."

Chen An muttered as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Essence and blood enslavement is indeed an ancient forbidden technique.

Just condensing a drop of it almost drained me dry.

It seems that this forbidden technique will kill one thousand enemies but injure eight hundred of your own.

Thinking of this, Chen An absorbed the drop of essence and blood floating on his fingertips, allowing it to return to his body to replenish his qi and blood.

Soon after, the condition around him completely recovered.

"I almost forgot to dig a room for my daughter."

Chen An suddenly remembered this, got out of bed and left the room, going to dig a new room for his two precious daughters.

Dig wide.

Beautifully dug.

Never let your daughter suffer.

After spending some time digging the room.

Chen An called his wife and daughter and asked them to help decorate the room.

Soon, a brand new room was built.

Both daughters looked very satisfied.

In a blink of an eye.

The time came to evening.

It's time for the two daughters to go to bed.

Tonight was the first night that both of them would not sleep with their mother.

Chen Anyi kept his word and immediately walked into his two daughters' room to tell them a bedtime story.

Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun were a little worried, so they came over to see if their daughters were getting used to the sleep.

On the bed.

A very big bed.

Two pairs of mothers and daughters sat together, silently waiting for their husbands/fathers to tell them bedtime stories.

Originally, it was only told to the two daughters, but Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun also wanted to listen, so they sat on the bed together.

Although this goes somewhat against the principle of the two daughters going to bed independently, considering that tonight is the first night, Chen An did not make too strict demands.

soon.

Under the expectant gaze of two pairs of mother and daughter.

Chen An began to tell the story.

"A long time ago, in a certain unknown town, there was a very famous private school."

"This is a private school for top-ranked scholars, and it has produced many top-ranked scholars in the imperial examinations."

"One day, the teacher of the private school found his three smartest students, gave them one tael of silver each, and asked them to buy the same thing to fill the entire private school."

"The first student left the private school right after receiving the silver and went to the market to buy a large pile of cotton. He intended to use the cotton to fill the private school, but unfortunately he failed."

"The second student stood there quietly and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he went outside to buy a lot of candles, hoping that the candlelight would illuminate the entire private school. But in the end, he found that there were always shadows in the private school."

"The third student smiled evilly after receiving the money and said that it was enough to have a hand, and asked the teacher to stay in the private school until he came back to show his real skills. Then he walked out of the private school with an arrogant step, not even looking back."

At this point in the story, Chen An looked at the two pairs of mother and daughter in front of him, smiled and asked: "Then the question is, if you were the third student in this story, what would you buy to fill the private school?"

Once the question was raised, Wen Zhiyun, Song Huaying, and Chen Yuejian all began to think about it.

As for the remaining silly second daughter, Chen Yike, she was rolling around on the bed, with no intention of using her brain at all.

Chen An looked at it helplessly and shook his head. It seemed that his second daughter could only be a reckless man.

It seems a bit difficult to use your brain.

About half a quarter of an hour later.

Chen An interrupted the three people's thoughts, looked at them and said, "It's time to think. Tell me your answers. Who will go first?"

“…”

It was a long time after the words were spoken, but the room was still quiet and no one answered.

Obviously, none of the three could think of an answer.

In other words, no one could come up with a more reasonable answer.

Chen An looked at his clever little wife and asked her with high hopes: "Ying'er, have you thought of the answer?"

Song Huaying shook her head and said, "Husband, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I can't think of an answer."

Her delicate little face was filled with frustration, and for the first time she began to doubt her own intelligence.

Seeing this, Chen An could only look at Wen Zhiyun beside him and asked, "Zhiyun, what about you?"

Wen Zhiyun shook her head without even thinking, "Husband, if even Ying'er can't answer this question, then I can't do it either."

"Dad, your question is so difficult. I can't think of the answer."

Chen Yuejian frowned and said.

Well, the whole army was wiped out...

Chen An expected this result, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

It seems that wives and daughters are not very good at brain teasers.

It may be related to the environment of this era.

This was a feudal era, and most people's thinking was relatively limited, making it difficult to break out of fixed thinking patterns.

If it were a 21st century internet surfer, he would probably be able to answer the question "What would the third student buy" within seconds.

"Husband, what is the answer? Can you please reveal it quickly? I am almost dying of anxiety."

Song Huaying, who has always been extremely curious, couldn't wait to know the answer, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

Wen Zhiyun was also curious about this, and urged, "Husband, please reveal the answer quickly."

Chen Yuejian didn't say anything, but judging by the way her eyes were fixed on her father, she was probably as eager to know the answer as her two mothers.

"Don't worry, there's still little Yi Ke who hasn't been asked yet."

Chen An smiled and said.

In line with the principle of getting everyone in the room involved, he looked at his second daughter who was still rolling around on the bed bored, and asked her, "Little Yike, did you hear what Dad asked just now?"

"I heard it."

Chen Yike responded while rolling.

Chen An pushed her with his hand to stop her from rolling around, and then asked, "Xiao Yike, if you were the third student, what would you buy to fill up the private school?"

Chen Yike lay on the bed, propping up her round face with both hands, her two short legs swaying like someone with ADHD, and replied with a smile: "If I were the third student, I would take the small change and go to the market to buy some spiritual cakes."

When they heard their second daughter's words, her father, mother and sisters couldn't help laughing and said that she was such a little foodie.

But the next moment, Chen Yike, with a silly look on his face, said something shocking, which made his father, mother and sisters drop their jaws.

I saw her smacking her lips, and her little mouth couldn't help but shed tears:

"I took the small amount of money that the teacher gave me to buy spirit cakes, but the teacher was still waiting for me to come back to the private school. I waited for a whole day but didn't see me come back. Finally, when he found out that I had used the small amount of money to buy spirit cakes, the teacher's disappointment filled the entire private school."

Father:"???"

Mother: “???”

Song Niang: “???”

elder sister:"???"

After a moment of reaction.

Wen Zhiyun picked up her silly daughter and said with great excitement, "My precious daughter is not silly!"

“She’s a genius!”

"He is a genius who is extremely wise but appears foolish!"

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

This day.

Chen An learned how to refine all the recipes for the third-level elixirs he bought from Lu’s Trading Company last time.

At the same time, he also refined a lot of pills to sell and to assist his wife and daughters in their cultivation.

With the help of some third-level elixirs, except for Shen Qingyi who remained at the same level, the cultivation of the other three wives and concubines improved significantly.

Song Huaying's cultivation level broke through from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining.

Gu Xinyue is the same as her.

Wen Zhiyun, on the other hand, secluded herself for nearly ten days. Finally, with the help of dozens of Qi Gathering Pills and her own years of hard practice, she successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

That day, the family of seven celebrated in the tunnel for the whole day.

Tiny Chen Yike ate so much at the table that she almost vomited.

Wen Zhiyun, on the other hand, was unable to get out of bed because of Chen An. She realized that she, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, was no match for her husband, who had reached the Golden Core Stage.

In a blink of an eye.

Several more days passed.

Chen An thought of Jiuji in the cave.

It has been almost a month since I last left.

Well, it's time to go check it out.

Thinking about.

Chen An said something to his wives and concubines, then flew over to Jiuji on his sword.

In just a moment, he arrived at the barren mountain and slowly landed in front of the cave entrance.

Walked in slowly.

He saw Jiuji in the deepest part of the cave.

At this time, Jiuji's mental state was very worrying because she had been trapped in this dark cave for a long time.

His face looked listless, his eyes were dull, and he seemed generally depressed.

His appearance is very pitiful.

However, Chen An felt nothing about this and did not feel sorry for her.

In terms of pity, those casual cultivators who died unexpectedly in the struggle for survival are much more pitiful than this fox demon.

Just because this fox demon looks as beautiful as a fairy, you can’t automatically add a lot of filters to her.

Chen An was still relatively rational and calm about these things.

Not easily dazzled by beauty.

The reason why he has such a good resistance to beauty is inseparable from the support of the sage's art behind him.

"How does it feel?"

Chen An walked to Jiuji and squatted down, reaching out and poking her pretty face which was stunningly beautiful but had become a little dirty.

Jiuji didn't seem to notice that Chen An walked up to her and squatted down.

When she heard Chen An's voice, she immediately became excited. She quickly moved her body and sat up. She looked at Chen An with tears in her eyes and begged, "Master, please let me go home, please?"

"I can swear to the heavens that as long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely settle all grievances with you and we will never interfere with each other again!"

"Also, when I return, I will ask grandma to bring you various treasures as gifts!"
