The days passed one by one.
In the blink of an eye.
There are only three days left until the Tiandi Sect test.
Thousand Flower Forest.
typical.
In the alchemy room.
Chen An devoted himself to learning how to refine third-grade elixirs.
It's like this every day.
So far, he has mastered the refining of more than one hundred types of third-level elixirs.
Far beyond the average level of a third-level alchemist.
"This time the test is stable."
Chen An became more and more confident as he looked at the third-level elixir he had just learned to refine in the furnace.
At this moment, he was already looking forward to the Tiandi Zong Dantang test three days later.
Extinguish the Dan fire.
Clean up the alchemy room.
Sit down for a while and relax.
Soon afterwards, Chen An used the earth escape technique to escape to Gu Xinyue's room.
Go find her to make love and enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
Ever since that day when he forced Jiuji into blood and essence slavery, Chen An hasn't visited her.
It’s been almost two months now.
For two months, he was locked in a dark cave.
Not a drop of water came in, and no one communicated.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in his body was completely absorbed by the seastone, and he was unable to survive by practicing.
In this situation, people will go crazy sooner or later.
Even immortals are like this.
Because darkness will devour the living beings' perception of time, making them live day by day as if it were a year, causing them to suffer physical and mental torture, making life worse than death.
Chen An guessed that Jiuji was probably on the verge of a mental breakdown.
However, he had no intention of visiting Jiuji.
Let it collapse.
As long as you don’t starve to death, it’s fine.
After finishing the test at Tiandi Sect's Dantang, I will go check on her condition and feed her some essence to prevent her from escaping by starving to death.
In Gu Xinyue's room.
Chen An had just finished a comfortable romance with his concubine Bingzhazi in his arms, and was holding her in his arms, enjoying the tranquility after the storm.
"Husband, I really want to give birth to a child for you."
Gu Xinyue snuggled in Chen An's arms, her slender white right hand stroking his eight-pack abs that were as sharp as a knife, her voice sounding both sad and yearning.
Chen An stroked her pretty face and soothed her, "It will be possible. When I join the Dan Hall of the Tiandi Sect in the future, I will find a way to solve this problem."
"Um."
Gu Xinyue responded softly, and her mind had already begun to imagine what she would look like with a big belly.
As she thought about it, a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face, and she was full of anticipation for the days to come.
Chen An sat up from the bed, patted Gu Xinyue in his arms and said:
"Yuer, you've rested enough, let's continue."
"Um."
Gu Xinyue responded softly again, and then kept nodding off, responding to Chen An's love for her, while praying in her heart that she could conceive with her husband's child as soon as possible.
In a blink of an eye.
Two days passed.
Tomorrow is the day to go to the Tiandi Sect’s Dan Hall to take the test.
This day.
Chen An no longer studied alchemy, nor did he seek out wives and concubines.
Keep enough energy to deal with the test.
In the room.
Chen An just woke up after sleeping for half an hour and sat up in bed full of energy.
Then, he thought about it and opened his long-missed personal information panel.
【Name: Chen An】

[Descendants: Chen Yuejian (4 stars, 64%), Chen Yike (3 stars, 85%)]
Today's personal information panels look luxurious at first glance.
Especially the column of magical instruments.
Ever since he took Jiuji's storage ring for himself, all the magical instruments inside became his property.
There are countless first-level magical weapons.
There are so many second-level magical weapons that it makes people jealous.
There are more than a dozen third-level magical instruments.
Chen An only left himself a third-level magic weapon.
As for the remaining first-level and second-level magic weapons, he gave them all to his wife and daughter, arming them from head to toe.
As long as they don't encounter a great Jindan cultivator, they can save their lives with the magic weapons on them.
The act of giving the magical instrument as a gift has greatly strengthened the relationship between the couple.
In addition, during this period of time, Chen An did not visit Jiu Ji again. Except for going to the market to buy the elixir recipe, he stayed at home to be affectionate with his wives and concubines and play with his daughter.
Seeing how caring their husbands were, the wives and concubines soon raised their relationship levels to five stars.
All members obtained the bond of "Sharing Happiness".
At the same time, three additional surprise blind boxes were also received.
Chen An opened the three blind boxes and obtained the illusion spell "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", the third-level magic weapon "Sun and Moon Seven Star Robe", and the third-level magic weapon "Thousands of Changing Masks".
Mirror flowers and water moons can make the target fall into endless illusions and unable to distinguish reality.
The Sun and Moon Seven Star Robe can resist 50% of the incoming damage.
A variety of masks that can change your appearance at will.
"Although my current cultivation is still only at the fifth level of the Golden Core, I feel that I should be no weaker than the average ninth level of the Golden Core creature, or even much stronger."
"Just like the python monster in the swamp, I should be able to kill it easily now."
Chen An thought so as he looked at the luxurious panel in front of him.
…
Early the next morning.
After Chen An had breakfast, he quickly flew to Tiandi Sect with his wife and daughter watching him.
As soon as he flew to the outskirts of the sect, he saw Deacon Tian who was in charge of registering people, and a group of monks surrounding Deacon Tian.
A faint smell of medicinal pills emanated from the bodies of these monks.
Obviously, they are all alchemists who came to participate in the test of Tiandi Zongdan Hall, and they all want to become a member of Tiandi Zongdan Hall.
soon.
Chen An fell down with his sword.
As soon as Deacon Tian saw him, he immediately greeted him:
"Master Chen, you are here."
He used the word "you".
Chen An is a third-rank alchemist. If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely pass the test and become the deacon of the Tiandi Sect's Alchemy Hall.
After all, a third-rank alchemist is even rarer than a golden elixir master, and he has an extraordinary status wherever he is.
Deacon Tian, who is only responsible for managing the entry and exit of the sect, has a far lower status than Chen An.
That's why he was so respectful to Chen An at this moment, to the point where his respect was even a little bit flattering.
The others were confused when they heard this and thought that Chen An was the alchemist from the Tiandi Sect, and they all looked at him with envy.
Some female alchemists were so stunned by Chen An's handsome appearance that they were almost dazzled.
Chen An ignored the looks and walked straight towards Deacon Tian to register his information.
When the others saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised.
What's going on? This person is also an outsider alchemist who came to take the test? But... why does Tian, the deacon of the Tiandi Sect, respect him so much?
Everyone was puzzled.
As time goes by.
Gradually.
The registration period is over.
A total of nearly two hundred alchemists were registered.
The lowest level is a second-level alchemist.
At the same time, the most numerous are second-level alchemists.
Including Chen An, there are only five third-level alchemists.
And except for him, the other four are only third-level junior alchemists.
When Chen An learned of this registration information, he felt like he was killing a chicken with a butcher knife.
He has prepared a lot for today's test over the past six months.
Unexpectedly, there wasn't even one opponent in this test who could beat me!
They are all too weak!
"Master Chen, I didn't expect that after only half a year, you have become a third-level intermediate alchemist. Many deacons in the alchemy hall are not as advanced as you in the realm of alchemy."
Deacon Tian looked at Chen An's registration information, his flushed face full of emotion.
Level 3 intermediate? No, no, no, actually I am now a level 3 advanced alchemist...
Chen An thought to himself, and smiled modestly: "Deacon Tian is too kind. I only have the realm of alchemy. As for the experience of alchemy, I still need to learn from the deacons in the alchemy hall, and even from the disciples inside."
Listening to the conversation between the two, some alchemists at the scene came to join in the conversation with the intention of making friends and currying favor.
"Master Chen is right. To learn alchemy, one should not be ashamed to ask questions. There must be a teacher among three people."
"Master Chen Dan is so humble, he is truly a role model for our generation."
"Master Chen, I am an alchemist from the Redwood Forest Lu family. I am currently unmarried. I would like to get to know Master Chen and exchange in-depth experiences on alchemy."
“…”
Among the alchemists who came to join in the fun were both men and women.
Among them, some female alchemists who are somewhat pretty basically want to develop a relationship with Chen An.
As long as I can hold on to his thigh, I can save a hundred years of struggle in the Tiandi Sect in the future.
"Everyone come over here and check if you have the Thousand Mile Realm and the Image Stone!"
"If you have any, please let us keep them temporarily and return them after the test is over!"
"If anyone is found to have brought the Thousand Mile Realm and the Image Stone into the test, they will be disqualified from the test!"
Deacon Tian shouted to the group of alchemists in front of him.
As soon as these words fell, everyone immediately checked their storage bags and clothes to see if there were Thousand Mile Realm and Image Stone.
If there was any, it would be handed over to Deacon Tian immediately.
After collecting the prohibited items for testing.
soon.
Deacon Tian took these nearly two hundred alchemists onto a flying boat.
They flew towards the Dan Hall together.
The flying boat flies at a very high altitude.
It is so high that unless one is at the Nascent Soul stage, one’s spiritual awareness is not enough to see the terrain below.
Chen An knew that this was to prevent the foreign alchemists on the flying boat from seeing too many things about the Tiandi Sect.
After all, they are all outsiders and we don't know their true identities, so we must be on guard.
Who knows if there are spies sent by sects from other regions? About half an hour later.
The flying boat flew and circled all the way in the sky.
Finally arrived at Dan Hall.
After the flying boat landed.
Nearly two hundred alchemists were all brought to the door of the Alchemy Hall and stopped.
Soon, people from the Alchemy Hall came out and took all the alchemists in.
The first thing the alchemists did when they came in was to listen to the person in charge of the test introduce the test content and rules.
First, test the success rate of pill making.
Second, test the quality of the pills.
Third, test how many kinds of high-level elixirs can be refined in total.
After listening to these contents and rules.
The group was taken to the corresponding houses to rest.
Waiting for the test to arrive early the next morning.
The next day.
early morning.
Chen An was sitting cross-legged in the house practicing.
Seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting brighter, he knew that it was almost time to take the test.
Testing is boring.
On the first day, the test was on the success rate of making pills, and half of the people were eliminated directly at this stage.
On the second day, the quality of the pills was tested, and nearly 70% of the people were eliminated.
After two days of screening, only 25 people remained.
And these 25 people have successfully joined the Dan Hall of Tiandi Sect.
As for the test on the third day, it will test how many kinds of high-level elixirs can be refined. This test is mainly used to rate the successfully shortlisted alchemists.
The rating of this test will determine whether the alchemist will be an apprentice, a disciple, or a deacon after entering.
After a day passed.
The test is over.
As expected, the five third-level alchemists, including Chen An, were all promoted to deacons.
Of the remaining twenty people, half were disciples and the other half were apprentices.
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the test of this Tiandi Sect Dantang and becoming a member of our Dantang."
"In the next month, the Alchemy Hall will prepare caves for the five deacons, single houses for the ten disciples, and five-person houses for the ten apprentices."
"During this month, everyone can go back and take care of their affairs, such as packing their luggage and moving, bringing their families to the Tiandi Sect to settle them in the secular area, and holding a big banquet in their hometown, etc."
"One month from now, everyone will go to the outer area to take a flying boat and come to Dan Hall to stay."
"Okay, Deacon Tian is already waiting for you fellow Taoists on the flying boat. Please don't keep Deacon Tian waiting for too long."
After saying these words, the person in charge of the test turned around and went back to the Alchemy Hall, successfully completing his task.
The twenty-five successfully shortlisted alchemists outside the Dan Hall were chatting and laughing as they flew towards the flying boat on their swords.
Among them, several female alchemists flew beside Chen An and talked to him with the idea of developing a relationship with him.
Chen An took a look at these female alchemists.
They are all in good shape.
It's just that her appearance is not that good.
The only one with a good appearance was a pregnant woman with a big belly.
Chen An had no interest in this at all.
After boarding the flying boat.
Deacon Tian, who was in charge of the helm, came to congratulate Chen An immediately and said with a smile: "Master Chen, no, it should be Deacon Chen. From now on, we are fellow disciples. We must take care of each other."
"That's for sure."
Chen An replied with a polite smile.
Not long.
The flying boat flew to the outer area of the Tiandi Sect.
The alchemists on the boat were still chatting and laughing.
There were many alchemists who, although they failed to pass the test of Tiandi Zong Dan Tang, still gained something.
Some have gained a close friend.
Some have found a Taoist companion.
There are also people who have found their long-lost mothers.
Chen An didn't talk to anyone, nor did he listen to anyone's conversation.
Seeing that the flying boat had already flown to the outer area, he simply said goodbye to Deacon Tian, and regardless of the attempts of several female alchemists to retain him, he quickly flew away on his sword.
The test to join the Tiandi Zong Dan Tang has been passed.
It's time to go and see Jiuji.
Let’s see how this nine-tailed fox, which regards humans as inferior creatures, is doing in that dark cave now, and whether its mind can remain clear and not collapse.
…
Barren mountain, in front of the cave.
Chen An flew down on his sword and used the earth escape technique to escape into the cave.
It was very dark in the cave, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
But these are not a problem for him.
Because of his powerful spiritual consciousness, he was endowed with extremely strong perception abilities.
Even without any light source, he could see everything clearly in this dark cave.
In comparison, Jiuji, who was lying motionless on the bed with her hands and feet restrained by seastone, had lost the support of spiritual power and was trapped in darkness like a blind person, unable to see her fingers when she stretched out her hand.
Chen An landed silently and walked to Jiuji and stopped in front of her.
Jiuji, who had lost her spiritual sense, was unable to notice his approach.
Still lying motionless in bed.
Like a dead body.
But Chen An knew that Jiuji was not dead, she was just in a daze.
"Still alive?"
Chen An asked knowingly.
Hearing the sudden sound, Jiuji was so frightened that her body trembled and she suddenly opened her eyes.
But, nothing can be seen.
But she knew that it was Chen An who came, and she cried and shouted almost out of control.
"Sir, I was wrong. I will never dare to have any thoughts about you again!"
"I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. From now on, you will be Jiuji's master, and you will be Jiuji's master for all eternity!"
"Master, I am proficient in disguise and can change my appearance at will. No matter if you are a princess of a country or a saint of a sect, as long as you like the appearance, I can change it into anything you like!"
"Besides, I am capable. I can do any job. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you, eating grass and milking you!"
"Please, Master, please, please take me out of this cave. I can't stay here any longer. I'm going crazy. No, I'm already crazy!"
Jiuji's voice was filled with despair and resignation.
While crying and shouting, she crawled in the direction where Chen An's voice came from, fearing that Chen An would leave and leave her trapped here.
"thump!"
Jiuji climbed up too hastily and fell off the bed. Her body, which was already so weak that she couldn't even stand up, was about to fall apart, and her pretty face was filled with pain.
But she kept on climbing, climbing.
She touched Chen An's shoes and grabbed his trouser legs. The pain on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by an irrepressible joy.
Chen An looked down at Jiu Ji, whose eyes were filled with tears and who was crying with joy, and didn't say anything.
He just silently took out a few night pearls, snapped his fingers, and with a few "puff" sounds, the pearls shot into the surrounding cave walls, instantly illuminating most of the cave.
Jiuji had been in darkness for a long time and found it difficult to adapt to the light. She felt her eyes were irritated and she instinctively raised her arms to block her eyes.
After a while, she gradually adjusted to the light, looked up at Chen An with excitement in her eyes, and pleaded with resignation and obedience on her face:
"Master, take me out of the cave!"
"I will go to your house and work like a slave for you, and let you do all the hard work!"
"Can you please take me away from here?"
While saying these words, she held Chen An's trouser legs tightly, fearing that Chen An would abandon her and run away.
Chen An was silent for a moment, and then said, "How about this, I'll give you three days to calm down and think about whether you really want to submit to me. I'll come back to you for an answer after three days."
"No, don't!"
"Master, I don't need to think about it. I am willing to submit. I am willing to submit to you!"
"Please take me out of here now!"
"Leave now!"
“Please!”
Jiuji's voice was full of humility and pleading.
Seeing that she was on the verge of mental collapse, Chen An knew that it was time to end the imprisonment of the nine-tailed fox, so he looked into her beautiful eyes and said calmly: "Since you are willing to surrender, then I have no reason to imprison you anymore. I hope that you can behave yourself in my house in the future and don't have any bad intentions."
"No, no, I will never have any bad intentions towards my master!"
Jiuji desperately shook her head to deny it.
Chen An's expression remained calm as he silently mobilized the energy in his body and condensed a wisp of essence, which quietly floated on his fingertips.
"Eat it. This is a reward for your obedience to me."
"Thank you, Master!"
Jiuji completely lost her dignity, at least at this moment when she was starving. She couldn't wait to open her cherry lips and suck the essence floating on Chen An's fingertips into her mouth.
…
