The next day, early morning.

Chen An woke up early and took a look at the prompt message in front of him, as well as the progress bar of the alchemy technique.

[Alchemy Experience +3] x11 [Spiritual Awareness Strength +3] x29 [Fire Spiritual Root Aptitude +2] x38 [Alchemy: First-level Advanced (2292/2500)]

"Almost there, only 208 experience points left."

Looking at the progress bar in front of him that was almost full, Chen An suddenly woke up from his early morning daze.

He then closed the message, got dressed, got out of bed, and went to the next room to see his daughter.

My daughter was sleeping soundly, sucking her thumb instinctively with her little mouth, looking very cute.

After taking out her thumb and covering her with the quilt, Chen An quickly left the room.

After a simple wash.

He went to the alchemy room, carried his medicine box, and headed to the market to sell pills.

He should have gone last night.

But Deacon Tang's sudden visit last night made the wives and concubines feel that it was very dangerous to go out so late at night, and they refused to let him go no matter what.

There was no choice but to postpone it until this morning.

…

The market place, where treasures are sold.

When Chen An went in, he saw Manager Liu nodding and bowing to a woman with a smile on his face.

His posture was very humble and he looked very lowly.

Who exactly is this woman?

How could a treasure shop owner like him be so servile to please her?

With this doubt in his mind, Chen An quietly glanced at the woman in front of the counter.

She looked to be nearly thirty years old, dressed in black, with a high ponytail, a long sword with a green sheath at her waist, beautiful eyes like lightning, heroic temperament, dressed like a female knight in the martial arts world.

Soon, the woman took a key from Manager Liu and turned to walk towards the guest rooms upstairs.

After entertaining the woman, Manager Liu immediately greeted Chen An in front of him with a warm face:

"Master Chen, are you here to sell pills again?"

"yes."

Chen An walked over with the medicine box on his back, put it on the counter, and took out all the pills inside for Manager Liu to inspect.

Then he asked curiously, "Manager Liu, who is that heroic woman just now? She looks very noble."

"He is the core disciple sent by Xuanhuang Sect to take charge of the Treasure Shop. How can he not be honorable?"

"A core disciple of Xuanhuang Sect?"

Chen An suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "Manager Liu, do you know what her cultivation level is?"

Shopkeeper Liu: "I don't know the exact amount, I just know she is a foundation-building expert."

Chen An was amazed after hearing this. This woman looked so young, but she was actually a powerful person in the foundation-building stage. She was worthy of being the core disciple of Xuanhuang Sect.

Soon, he asked again: "By the way, Manager Liu, what do you mean by sitting in charge?"

Manager Liu replied, "It's nothing, actually. It's just that the Xuanhuang Sect is worried that the Treasure Company will be affected by the war between the two gangs, so they specially sent a foundation-building master to take charge."

Chen An said with a smile: "Your Treasure Shop is backed by the Xuanhuang Sect, so no one would dare to cause trouble for you."

Shopkeeper Liu said disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily true. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. The same is true for people. Once there are too many people, there will always be a few brainless desperadoes."

Chen An listened and nodded, agreeing with that.

Then, the two chatted for a few more sentences.

After all the pills were exchanged for spirit stones.

Chen An picked up the medicine box and turned to leave.

Just then, he saw the female disciple of Xuanhuang Sect walking down from upstairs, and the angle was just right for him to see her face clearly.

Her facial features are very delicate and her skin is very fair. In terms of appearance alone, she is on par with the three wives and concubines in the family.

The figure just looks a bit awkward. I don't know if it's because of its size or if it was specially tied tightly with cloth to facilitate movement.

It makes people want to conquer.

It would be nice if I could take her as my concubine...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen An immediately pinched himself hard to quickly dispel this suicidal idea.

The other party is a powerful foundation-building master, and he is not someone who can be conquered by a weakling like him who is only practicing Qi.

When looking for a wife or concubine, you must look for one who is weaker than you, and not one who is stronger than you.

Otherwise it will be out of control and there will be a lot of trouble later.

As for taking Wen Zhiyun as a concubine, this was not considered enough at the beginning.

Fortunately, Wen Zhiyun is just arrogant and never thinks of using her own strength to speak, otherwise the whole family would have been in chaos.

Not long.

Chen An left the Treasure Shop.

As soon as he entered the house, his wives and concubines came over to help him take down the medicine box and brought him breakfast. They were very virtuous.

After breakfast.

Chen An used a sleeping spell on his daughter and let her go back to her room for a nap.

Then he went to chat with his wives and concubines.

About half an hour later.

[Alchemy Experience +3, Emotion -1] x3 [Spiritual Strength +3, Emotion +1]

[Fire Spiritual Root Qualification +2, Emotion +1]

Feeling -1?

Chen An sat up from the bed and was stunned when he saw the content of the first prompt message.

Soon, he looked down at his young wife Song Huaying standing beside him. When he saw that his young wife was frowning slightly and looked a little uncomfortable, he suddenly realized that he was so focused on pursuing a breakthrough in the way of alchemy that he neglected his young wife's physical condition.

It has to be remedied! The feelings that have been lost must be added back!

Thinking of this, Chen An reached out and stroked Song Huaying's face and said softly, "Ying'er, it's your fault. I didn't notice your physical condition and made you suffer."

"Husband, Ying'er is fine."

Song Huaying forced a smile. She was clearly feeling unwell. Her brows were slightly furrowed, but she did not express the complaints in her heart.

Chen An knew very well that words were empty and powerless.

So he gently turned Song Huaying over, let her lie on the bed, and said to her gently:

"My daughter Ying'er has worked so hard, I have to reward you and give you a massage."

"Husband, no need...ah~"

Before Song Huaying finished speaking, Chen An had already started pressing.

He knew that his wife's legs were numb, so he massaged her thighs to relax her plump thigh flesh, promote blood circulation and eliminate lactic acid.

Gu Xinyue and Wen Zhiyun, who were lying on the bed with him, were so envious that they asked Chen An to give them a massage after he finished giving Song Huaying a massage.

Chen An refused decisively. If everyone was given a massage, what was the point of giving it to his wife now? He wanted to give it to his wife alone, giving her some special treatment, so that he could comfort himself for overworking her body.

As expected, when Song Huaying heard Chen An say that he would only give her a massage, her beautiful eyes suddenly became wet.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Chen An who was massaging her diligently. She said softly with touching eyes:

"Husband..."

"Don't talk, just enjoy it."

Chen An concentrated on giving his young wife a full body massage, from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head, making his young wife feel unprecedented enjoyment.

[You gave your wife Song Huaying an exclusive full-body massage, which moved her deeply. Affection +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]
