Then, he immediately shouted in an imperative tone: "The one carrying the medicine box in front, stop right there!"

Chen Andang didn't hear it, and not only did he not stop, but he even quickened his pace.

"Are you fucking deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

The bearded male cultivator became furious and quickly walked towards Chen An with the eight people behind him.

When other people in the market saw this, they immediately moved away from Chen An, fearing that they would be affected.

Soon, Chen An was blocked by the bearded man, and the remaining eight people surrounded him.

"My fellow Taoists, what can I do for you?"

Chen An looked silly and friendly, but his fingers under his sleeves were already glowing golden, ready to strike at any time.

The bearded man didn't waste any words. He pulled out the machete from behind and said with a fierce look on his face: "Either leave all the money you have with you, or leave your life!"

Chen An narrowed his eyes and wanted to take action.

The bearded man is a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he is also a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

With the help of the magic golden finger and sneak attack, he was confident that he could capture the leader first and then defeat the remaining eight people one by one.

But just when he was about to take action, he thought of his wives and concubines at home, and the child in his wife's belly.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

We're going to move to the core area in a few days, so there's no need to cause any trouble during this time.

Anyway, I only have more than three low-grade spirit stones on me, and if they are gone, they are gone.

Now remember the appearance of these nine people. When you are strong enough one day, come back to settle the score with them and make them pay back a hundredfold.

Chen An comforted himself in this way and made the decision to spend money to avoid disaster.

But at this moment, a cultivator from the Black Iron Villa suddenly had a bright look in his eyes and said:

"Brother Zhang, I've thought about it. Instead of robbing this alchemist of his money, why not just capture him and bring him back to Black Iron Villa and let him make pills for us day and night?"

"What a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"

The bearded male cultivator nodded, thinking that his junior fellow disciple’s words made sense, so he said to Chen An in an imperative tone: “Boy, come back with us to make the elixir, or you won’t be able to leave alive today…”

"……puff!"

Before the bearded man could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a dull sound.

The next second, the bearded man fell to his knees with a thud, holding his left knee tightly with both hands and screaming:

“Ahhh my legs!!!”

The other eight monks from Black Iron Villa were all stunned.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

I only knew that I seemed to see a flash of golden light just now, and then my senior brother fell to his knees and screamed heartbreakingly, with his left knee tightly covered with his hands, bleeding continuously and all over the ground.

"It's... it's this alchemist. He hurt me with a hidden weapon. Hurry... help me catch him!"

The bearded man endured the severe pain and made a sound.

When the eight men heard this, they immediately reached for the machetes behind them and were ready to attack Chen An.

However--

“Puff…Puff…Puff!”

After hearing these sounds several times, the eight people who were drawing their swords the moment before suddenly fell to their knees, hugged their knees with their hands, and screamed like pigs being slaughtered, just like the bearded male cultivator in front of them.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

The sound echoed throughout the entire market.

Some people looked shocked, some looked panicked, and some looked confused. Many people had no idea what had just happened.

It really happened too fast, and it was all over in a flash.

There simply wasn't enough time to react.

Chen An walked expressionlessly to the bearded man and stopped in front of him. He looked down at him condescendingly and slowly raised a glowing golden finger to point at his forehead.

“Don’t… don’t kill me!”

"My father is the elder of Black Iron Villa, and I am his only son. If you kill me, you will be in big trouble. It's not worth it, fellow Taoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, please let me go. I promise to stay out of your way and never cause you any trouble!"

The bearded man begged for mercy frantically, fearing that Chen An would take his life.

After hearing this, Chen An withdrew his fingers. Just when the bearded man Xiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked him.

"Bang!"

The bearded male cultivator flew backwards and rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop. He was completely unconscious.

It’s a pity that everyone is watching now, otherwise Chen An would definitely kill all nine of them.

After venting his anger, Chen An turned around and left.

People along the way all backed away when they saw him.

Chen An knew that even if he let the bearded male cultivator go, he would definitely retaliate against him afterwards.

But he had no choice, he needed to consider his family.

If we kill him now, the other party's elder father will come to take the person back at all costs after getting the information.

At that time, the top leaders of the Bamboo Leaf Gang would definitely hand him over in order to avoid escalating the conflict prematurely.

After all, the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa are currently at odds with each other, and they might take the opportunity to bite back at each other, condemning the other party's people for crossing the line and causing trouble, and demanding an explanation from them.

"If I have a chance in the future, I must kill that male cultivator with a face full of stubble, and also destroy his father and the entire Black Iron Villa. I will cut off the roots and eliminate the trouble forever!"

Chen An's thoughts suddenly became extreme and he lost his composure.

He doesn't like to make enemies with others, and likes to take revenge on the spot.

If I cannot repay it now, I will settle the score in the future when I have the strength to do so, so that I don’t have to worry about it.

After leaving the market, Chen An did not go home immediately.

Instead, he walked straight to Manager Zhang's office in the cheap area to consult him about his plan to move to the core area.

Soon, Chen An arrived at his destination.

He was lucky enough to meet Manager Zhang in the office area, so he didn't come back empty-handed.

"Hey, Master Chen, what a rare guest! Why are you here?"

"Manager Zhang, I want to move to the core area early tomorrow morning."

"Um?"

Manager Zhang was stunned for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, he said to Chen An, "Master Chen, the rent for the core area is 100 low-grade spirit stones per month. Are you sure you want to move there?"

Chen An: "Sure."

Manager Zhang: "We can move, but the earliest we can move is the day after tomorrow, because we have to take you to see the house, and then we have to go through the relevant procedures."

"Yeah, I understand."

Chen An nodded, thinking that the core area was different as it could provide houses.

Manager Zhang: "How about this, Master Chen, you come to me tomorrow morning with 100 low-grade spirit stones. If I see a suitable house, I will handle the formalities for you right on the spot."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow morning, and I'll trouble Manager Zhang then."

After such a brief discussion, Chen An did not stay any longer and turned around and walked towards home.

When he walked into the front yard of his house, he saw his wife and concubine sitting on the left and right of the door chatting, as if they were waiting for him to come home.

The two women were so engrossed in their conversation that they had no idea that their husbands had returned home and were standing in front of them.

Chen An didn't disturb them, just stood aside and listened to their conversation.

I'm not talking about sex with my husband.

Just talking about pregnancy.

Most of the time, it was Song Huaying who was talking non-stop and sharing her experiences, and Gu Xinyue was listening very carefully.

When talking about pregnancy, Gu Xinyue would reach out and touch her flat belly from time to time. It was hard for her to imagine that her belly would become like Song Huaying's and bulge out like a ball in the future.

When Song Huaying saw her confused expression, she found it kind of funny for some reason.

He immediately smiled and asked her to reach out and touch his big belly so that she could feel the unborn baby inside.

Gu Xinyue touched it carefully, and was kicked by the baby in her belly. She was frightened and quickly retracted her hand.

Her reaction made Song Huaying, who was standing next to her, laugh, and she quickly explained the phenomenon to her.

Gu Xinyue felt it was magical when she heard it.

Chen An was also listening.

Seeing that his wives and concubines had not noticed him after such a long time, he could only cough lightly helplessly to tell them that their long-missed husband had returned.

The wives and concubines were startled by the sudden cough.

But when they saw that it was their husbands returning, they immediately stood up and asked about their husbands' well-being in a very virtuous manner.

Song Huaying is responsible for warmth, and Gu Xinyue is responsible for cold.

After dinner.

Chen An took his wives and concubines for a walk in the yard.

During the conversation, I told them that I would go to the core area to look at houses tomorrow.

After taking a walk for a while.

Chen An felt that the time was about right, so he asked Song Huaying to go back to her room to sleep and take good care of the baby.

After all, the baby in my belly will be born in three months at most.

You have to take good care of it.

After Song Huaying fell asleep.

Chen An immediately brought Gu Xinyue into the woodshed and worked hard to improve his spiritual strength.

He set a small goal for himself, to break through to the first intermediate level of his spiritual consciousness tonight.

It is a goal that is easy to achieve, as we are only about 10 points away from a breakthrough.

The task can be easily completed in just one night.
