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

The war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa is still going on.

But the scale is no longer expanding.

In the core areas that were less affected, life has returned to normal.

Except that you cannot leave the core area, everything else remains the same.

As for the issue of making money to pay the rent, the people from the Bamboo Leaf Gang gave them a way to offset the rent.

That is——

Represent the Bamboo Leaf Gang to join the battlefield and kill the enemy, and then be exempted from the corresponding rent based on your performance on the battlefield.

Those who perform well can even receive various additional rewards.

For example, skills, elixirs, magical instruments and so on.

Many late-stage Qi-refining cultivators with some strength were tempted and chose to become mercenaries of the Bamboo Leaf Gang and go to the front battlefield to kill the enemy.

The remaining monks who are not strong enough and have no special skills to make a living have to do odd jobs in logistics.

As an alchemist, Chen An's life is relatively comfortable.

No need to pay rent.

It became about how many pills should be provided to the Bamboo Leaf Gang every month.

The amount of medicine provided each month would cost as much as 150 low-grade spirit stones based on the market price.

But Chen An could still accept it.

By providing the elixirs directly to the Bamboo Leaf Gang, he could save the trouble of setting up a stall in the market to sell them, and he could also free up time to be affectionate with his wives and concubines, and to accompany his daughter as she grew up.

However, only residents in the core area can enjoy this tranquility.

Like the low-level monks in the cheap area, they are all suffering from the war.

Being in the center of the battlefield, they had no choice but to take up arms to fight against the invasion of the monks from Black Iron Villa.

Unfortunately, their cultivation was too low and most of them became cannon fodder.

Those who were lucky enough to survive basically became prisoners of war at Black Iron Villa.

The men were captured to do hard labor, and the women were captured to suffer unspeakable punishments.

The days were filled with despair.

Since there was no hope in staying in the cheap area, many of the lower-level monks there fled to the entrance of the core area, where they knelt and begged the residents of the core area to take them in.

However, out of a hundred people, only one or two female cultivators with outstanding looks could be accepted.

The rest of the people were all taken by the monks of the Bamboo Leaf Gang to work in the logistics department day and night, and some people died suddenly from exhaustion every day.

During this war period, only the monks in the core area were treated as human beings by the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

As for the low-level monks in the cheap area, they are nothing more than a group of cattle and horses that are thrown away after being used.

The world of immortal cultivation.

A world where the strong prey on the weak.

It's so cruel.

…

This morning.

Chen An was going out to deliver the pills he had made yesterday to the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the yard, I ran into Han Sanfan passing by the gate.

Han Sanfan saw him coming out, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Master Chen, there are many female cultivators from the cheap area asking for shelter at the entrance. Do you want to go with me and take a look? If you're lucky, you might be able to bring back a beauty to warm your bed."

"I can't. I have two wives and concubines to take care of at home. I don't have the extra energy to look for another one."

"Hey, that's right. Master Chen Dan has three beauties at home."

"Friend Han, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Chen An finished speaking, he walked towards the Bamboo Leaf Gang without chatting with Han Sanfan any more.

He had already visited the female practitioners at the entrance in the first few days.

You can indeed see some people with outstanding looks.

Some were also moved.

However, although he was tempted, he did not take those female cultivators in.

Even if he took in one more child, it would only add one more pair of chopsticks to the house, so he would not take him in.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to.

But he is now struggling with Wen Zhiyun.

If he suddenly took in a concubine, Wen Zhiyun would definitely be furious.

I might even run away from home on the spot because I didn't want to share the house with him anymore.

Well, we have to take down Wen Zhiyun first, and then consider other things.

…

Come to the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Chen An sent the refined pills in.

After the acceptance, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, a monk from the Bamboo Leaf Gang who was in charge of logistics stopped him and said:

"Master Chen, starting from tomorrow, the supply of this medicine will be increased by an additional 20%."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen An said lightly, without a trace of emotion on his face.

He just took a look at the busy logistics and quickly turned and left.

On the way back.

Chen An frowned slightly.

What does it mean that the supply of elixirs is suddenly increasing? Does it mean that the war between the two gangs will intensify?

This is not a good sign.

…

Time flies.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time.

Chen Yuejian, who was originally very small, became plump without anyone noticing.

All I can say is that having spiritual roots is different.

If it were an ordinary child, it would take at least six months to learn to crawl.

"Husband, Xiao Yuejian crawls so fast. I wonder if she can learn to walk in two or three months."

Song Huaying looked at her daughter with a smile on her face and said.

Chen An smiled and said:

"Of course she can. After all, Xiao Yuejian inherited her mother's cleverness and her father's spiritual roots. Maybe she will be able to run in two months."

"I really hope time can pass faster so Xiaoyuejian can grow up quickly. I want to hear her call me mom."

Song Huaying said with anticipation.

Chen An smiled without saying anything, walked forward, picked up his daughter, pinched her round little face and said:

"See you, Xiaoyue. Daddy will take you for a walk in the yard outside to breathe some fresh air."

"Husband, I'll go to the kitchen and make dinner."

After Song Huaying finished speaking, she smacked her daughter and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast with a satisfied look on her face.

Chen Yuejian was still young at that time and not very dependent on her mother.

He didn't cry because his mother left.

He just lay silently on his father's shoulder, opening his toothless little mouth and biting his shoulder.

Chen An ignored her and let her bite.

He guessed that his daughter was about to grow teeth and her gums were itchy, so she wanted to bite something.

Come outside the yard.

The daughter struggled to get down.

Don't want to be held.

Want to crawl on the ground.

The ground was too dirty, so Chen An didn't let her crawl.

Seeing that her father refused to let her go, she struggled for a few times and soon calmed down.

She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and is very quiet.

Wen Zhiyun, who had just finished practicing and was taking a walk in the yard, saw the father and daughter walking in front and couldn't help but walk over with a smile.

She came to Chen An and stopped, and said to Chen Yuejian in Chen An's arms: "Come, Xiao Yuejian, let your godmother hold you."

“Mmmmm…”

Chen Yuejian ignored her godmother and stared at a butterfly flying by and spoke vaguely.

Wen Zhiyun didn't care about that and reached out to hug her.

Chen An was unhappy when he saw this and said, "I haven't hugged you enough yet, get out of here!"

"I'm her godmother, so what's wrong with letting me hug you?"

"If you like holding babies so much, can't you give birth to one yourself?"

"If you don't want to hug me, then don't hug me. When I give birth to a child in the future, don't even think about hugging me!"

"Friend Wen, you don't even have a man right now, but you're already thinking about having a baby. You're quite the dreamer."

"It's so tiring to talk to you!"

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him, turned around and went back to her room to continue practicing.

Looking at Wen Zhiyun's receding back, Chen An knew that he was about to win.

He will soon be able to control this arrogant and beautiful woman.

I took a walk with my daughter in my arms.

Chen An felt that the time was almost up, so he took his daughter back to the room, gave her a sleeping spell, and let her take a nap.

[You used the sleep-aiding technique on your daughter Chen Yuejian, allowing her to fall asleep peacefully. Your sleep-aiding technique proficiency +1.]

[Sleep aid: Getting started (55/100)]

I covered my daughter with a blanket.

Chen An immediately couldn't wait to walk into Gu Xinyue's room next door.

I want to improve my relationship with this icy concubine.

About two incense sticks later.

[Spiritual Strength +2]

[Cheating finger proficiency +2]

After finishing, Chen An planned to take a shower.

First go to the room and get a set of clean clothes.

Then he stopped in front of the bathroom door.

Seeing that the door was half-open, Chen An didn't think too much and just pushed the door open and walked in.

As a result, something went wrong! Wen Zhiyun was standing beside the wooden barrel, untying her Taoist robe.

The belt loosened and the robe slipped off his shoulders, revealing a piece of snow-white skin.

Chen An was stunned.

At this time, Wen Zhiyun saw him and was stunned for a moment.

After a moment of reaction.

Wen Zhiyun immediately pulled up the Taoist robe that was about to fall off, and opened her mouth with shame and anger on her face, ready to shout "hooligan".

Upon seeing this, Chen An quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth, and at the same time, he opened his clothes in front of her, revealing his eight strong abdominal muscles and said, "Come, Fellow Daoist Wen, let me show you my eight-pack abs. Neither of us will suffer a loss."

"Mmmmm!"

Wen Zhiyun couldn't take it anymore. She was so ashamed that her head was about to smoke. She immediately made up her mind and bit the big hand that was covering her mouth.

This bite almost broke her teeth.

Chen An quickly pulled back his golden finger, and before Wen Zhiyun could react and get angry, he immediately turned around and left the bathroom.

It's enough to just take advantage of it.

Don't rush into anything.

After all, more haste makes waste, and he has a deep understanding of this as he often wandered among flowers in his previous life.
