After counting everything, Chen An was very excited.

There are countless spirit stones alone, and countless magical instruments and elixirs.

The contents of the three storage rings combined amount to more than a thousand times his entire fortune.

"I can only say that Nascent Soul Master is Nascent Soul Master."

"After living for so many years, the wealth accumulated is astonishing."

"Unlike a nouveau riche like me, I am so poor."

Chen An felt a surge of emotion.

He looked at the things in Elder Li's storage ring and couldn't help but sigh: "There are as many as ten thousand high-quality spirit stones. As expected of an elder of the Alchemy Hall, it's easy for him to make money. I guess he has made a lot of money during his years in office."

Then, his consciousness fell into Mo Zixuan's storage ring again, and he murmured: "Hehuan Pills, Hehuan Powder, Hehuan Liquid, Hehuan Light Gauze Clothes, this Hehuan Hall elder has so many obscene items."

As he spoke, he woke up Wen Zhiyun, who had been sleeping for nearly fifteen minutes, and criticized the obscene items in Mo Zixuan's storage ring with her.

【Fire Spiritual Root Qualification +5】x38 in a blink of an eye.

It's dawn.

Wen Zhiyun was really exhausted at this moment, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

If she hadn't been still breathing, Chen An would have thought she was dead.

"No wonder all the male cultivators who have been to Hehuan Hall are reluctant to leave, as if they were under a spell. It turns out that the female cultivators in Hehuan Hall all use props."

Chen An smiled silently in his heart.

Afterwards, he took out the three storage rings again on impulse, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the spoils inside.

There are many magical instruments inside, all suitable for use by wives and daughters at home.

But if you really want to use it, there are certain risks.

After all, he had killed three elders in the sect to get some benefits, and if it was exposed, he would be in big trouble.

"Forget it, let's put it aside for now. When I'm strong enough to suppress everyone in the Tiandi Sect, I'll take it out and give it to my wife and daughters."

Thinking of this, Chen An got dressed, got out of bed and went back to his room. He sat cross-legged on the bed to refine the spirit stone and practice.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During this period, apart from accompanying his wife and daughter, Chen An basically spent the rest of his time practicing in his room.

The tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones that originally existed were refined by him until less than a thousand remained.

But on the other hand, his cultivation successfully broke through to the third level of Nascent Soul.

"Unconsciously, I have reached the third level of the Nascent Soul, and I am only one level away from becoming a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. I don't know how strong I am now, and whether I can compete with the sect master and the nine elders."

Chen An thought to himself.

After thinking about it, he used a simulated trial to generate an absolute space deep in his mind, then copied the sect master and nine elders, and took turns fighting with these ten top masters of the Tiandi Sect.

After about two hours, as many as ten battles finally came to an end.

Although the results of the battle were not gratifying, they were not terrible either.

Although Chen An didn't win the whole game, at least he drew with the Sect Master and the Ninth Elder.

Moreover, when facing the Eighth Elder, the Seventh Elder, the Sixth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Fourth Elder, he fought to the end before being defeated regretfully. The difference in strength was not that big.

As for facing the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder, the results were rather miserable. No matter how many times they challenged them, they were pinned to the ground and rubbed hard.

Especially when facing the Great Elder, he was slapped to death by the other party every time, without any power to resist, which really undermined his self-confidence.

Chen An suspected that although the great elder's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, his strength was actually no different from that of the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even if there was any difference, it was only slightly inferior in some aspects.

For example, attributes such as mental strength, etc.

In terms of strength, this great elder is definitely at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"I didn't expect that the leader of the Tiandi Sect would only rank ninth in terms of strength within the sect."

"I have to say, the distribution of power in the Tiandi Sect is quite bizarre."

"Fortunately, I didn't choose to hang out with that female sect leader that night. Otherwise, if I were to run into an internal fight within the sect someday, I would have regretted it."

Chen An felt relieved.

…

A few days later.

Chen An was making love with his young wife Song Huaying in the room, trying to improve their relationship.

Just as I finished and was about to get dressed and get out of bed, the voice of my eldest daughter Chen Yuejian was heard outside.

"Mom, Xiao Yike, Xiao Jiuli and I are going to play outside. Gu Niang and the others don't have time to accompany us. Can you come out and accompany us outside?"

"Okay, wait a minute, your mother and I will be out soon and play outside with you guys."

Chen An said to his three daughters outside the door.

After his wife had put on her clothes, he opened the door and went out with her.

“Crack—”

When they opened the door, their three lovely and beautiful daughters came into the sight of the couple.

Chen An picked up his third daughter Chen Jiuli, who was less than half a year old, and took her and her two sisters to play outside the cave.

Seeing her sister being held by her father, Chen Yuejian also wanted to be held, and said in a crisp voice: "Daddy, I want to be held too."

"You're already a grown-up, but you still want your father to hold you. Aren't you ashamed?" Song Huaying said speechlessly.

Chen Yuejian pouted her rosy lips slightly, and said in a coquettish manner with a look of disapproval: "Mom, you are not right at all. No matter how old I am, I will always be Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket daughter. As a daughter, how can it be embarrassing for Daddy to hold me?"

"Yes, yes, you are right. It would be best if you could let your father hold you every day even when you grow up." Song Huaying said with a displeased look on her face.

Chen Yue saw her eyes turn and said playfully, "Mom, are you jealous of me?"

"Do I need to be jealous of you, your mother?" Song Huaying said proudly, "Your father dotes on me. He often sleeps with me, massages me, and washes my feet. You can't enjoy these."

Chen Yue felt jealous when she saw this and was very envious when she heard this.

She turned her head to look at Chen An beside her, and said coquettishly with an adorable look on her face: "Daddy, I also want you to sleep with me, give me a massage, and wash my feet."

Chen An smiled and said, "That won't work."

"Why?"

Chen Yuejian expressed her confusion.

After successfully diverting the firepower, he held his third daughter Chen Jiuli in one hand and his second daughter Chen Yike in the other, and walked out of the cave with the two little ones.

Outside the cave.

At a glance, there are children and young women from the neighborhood everywhere, it is very lively and energetic.

As soon as the eldest daughter and the second daughter came outside, they quickly became friends with other children and had a lot of fun.

The third daughter also wanted to join in, but she had not yet learned to speak, so she could only struggle and babbled to get out of her father's arms and play with her sisters.

Chen An smiled and kissed her chubby little face, then put her down and let her go wherever she wanted to play.

Just keep an eye on her and don't let her run away.

After all, she has been disguised with furry fox ears and a snow-white fox tail, so no one will notice anything unusual.

"Deacon Chen, I haven't seen you come to the Alchemy Hall for a long time."

Deacon Lin, who lived next door, had just come out of the cave and was about to go to the Alchemy Hall. When he saw Chen An, whom he hadn't seen for several months, he immediately walked up to him with a smile and said.

Chen An smiled back and said, "I have been practicing in seclusion at home recently and haven't gone out much."

"I see."

Deacon Lin suddenly understood, and then he smiled and flattered: "It seems that Deacon Chen has made a breakthrough in his cultivation. It is only a matter of time before he achieves the Golden Core."

Achieve the golden elixir?

I'm already at the third level of the Nascent Soul! Even if Sect Master Xiao Qingyue comes, she can only tie with me at best! Chen An thought so in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled and said, "Deacon Lin is exaggerating. It's not easy to achieve the Golden Core. It takes a lot of time to settle down."

"It is Deacon Chen who is being modest."

After that, Deacon Lin suddenly sent a mysterious voice message to Chen An: "By the way, Deacon Chen, you have been practicing in seclusion in the cave recently. I'm afraid you don't know what big things are happening outside now?"

Chen An could guess what the big deal was. It was most likely the disappearance of the three elders from Dan Hall, Hehuan Hall, and Bailian Hall.

However, he still showed great interest and asked knowingly, "What happened?"

Deacon Lin sent another message: "For some unknown reason, Elder Li from our Dan Hall, Elder Mo from the Hehuan Hall, and Elder Yi from the White Lotus Hall all disappeared on the same day, and there has been no news since then."

"It is said that the last water source poisoning incident may be related to these three elders."

"Right now, the Law Enforcement Hall is being thoroughly investigated by the hall elders themselves."

"But after more than a month of investigation, there has been no announcement. I don't know whether anything can be found out, or whether something has been found but it is not convenient to announce it and needs to be kept confidential."

Deacon Lin's tone sounded full of conspiracy theories.

Then, he said, "Also, I heard that the higher-ups are going to re-elect three elders to manage the three halls. Deacon Chen, you researched the antidote last time and saved the Tiandi Sect. In addition, you have outstanding alchemy skills, so you can run for election."

"Maybe if I'm lucky enough, I'll be elected as the new elder of the Dan Hall as expected."

"By then, I will become the youngest Dan Hall elder in the history of Tiandi Sect. I will have a promising future."

Deacon Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, and it felt like he was going to become an elder of the Dan Hall.

Chen An just smiled and said, "My current cultivation level is not even at the Golden Core level, so forget it. Besides, I don't have the qualifications, so I definitely can't become an elder of the Alchemy Hall."

"That's wrong, Deacon Chen." Deacon Lin advised: "Whether one can become an elder of the Alchemy Hall, the realm of cultivation is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the level of the alchemy realm. As long as the alchemy realm is high, even if one is only a foundation-building cultivator, he can become an elder of the Alchemy Hall."

Chen An smiled and said nothing.

What Deacon Lin said made sense, but Chen An had no intention of becoming the elder of the Dan Hall.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

night.

The family sat in the living room and finished their meal.

Chen An was eating the honey cucumber made by Gu Xinyue, and the sound transmission note in the storage ring trembled.

It was the sound transmission note that was used to contact Ning Xianer.

Chen An took out the sound transmission talisman as soon as he thought about it, and chose to play it out loud without any hesitation.

The next moment, Ning Xianer's voice was heard on the sound transmission talisman.

"Deacon Chen, I have good news for you!"

"Please speak, Saint Lady."

"My master said that if you are willing, she can help you become the elder of the Dan Hall within a year!"

When Ning Xianer said this, the eyes of the five wives and concubines at the table all lit up.

Song Huaying said excitedly: "Husband, you are going to become the elder of the Dan Hall!"

Chen An did not respond to his little wife, but replied to Ning Xian'er in a calm voice:

"Lady Saint, I have only been in the Dan Hall for a few years. I am still inexperienced and cannot be qualified for the position of Dan Hall elder. I really let down Lady Saint."

"Deacon Chen, these are not a problem. As long as your alchemy skills are deep enough, you are qualified to sit on the position of the elder of the alchemy hall."

Ning Xianer advised earnestly.

Chen An didn't want to waste time talking to her, so he made up an excuse and said, "Saint Lady, I'm sorry, my third daughter woke up and cried, and I have to go and comfort her."

After saying this, he put the sound transmission note into his storage ring and ignored Ning Xianer.

…

The Palace of Heaven and Earth, the Cave of the Holy Maiden.

Ning Xian'er had just finished bathing and was sitting on the jade bed. Her slightly moist black hair was draped behind her, and was slowly being dried by waves of warm spiritual energy.

She looked at the sound transmission note in her hand that no longer transmitted Chen An's voice, and felt a little uncomfortable and a little angry.

She was the Saint of the Tiandi Sect, but she was ignored by a Dantang deacon time and again! Why did he do that?

Shouldn't he be trying to please me? He 's just a deacon of the Dan Hall, why is he so arrogant? It 's annoying!

Ning Xianer was extremely upset and angrily threw the sound transmission note in her hand out of the window. She decided not to contact Chen An again and bother herself with the trouble.

But after just a few breaths, she stood up and floated out of the window, picking up the sound transmission note she had just thrown out.

Forget it, a great man should not bear grudges. A saint should have the bearing of a saint. There is no need to be angry with a deacon.
