After coming out of Wen Zhiyun's room, Chen An felt like he was missing a lot of things.

He hurried to the alchemy room, found a bottle of energy-replenishing pills, pulled out the stopper and poured the pills into his mouth.

Once the pill enters the stomach, it instantly turns into strands of essence that flow through the body, constantly nourishing the parts of the body that are overloaded.

In less than a moment, Chen An, who was originally a little depressed, became energetic again in the blink of an eye.

"It's a pity that this energy-replenishing pill is only useful for men. It would be great if it could also be useful for women."

Looking at the medicine bottle that he was almost empty, Chen An couldn't help but sigh.

If the pill that replenishes energy and strengthens the body can also work on women, then his wives and concubines won't have to work so hard every day.

After resting for a while.

Chen An had nothing to do, so he began to diligently refine the elixir.

It took more than two hours to practice.

When he felt that the alchemy was almost done, he got up and left the alchemy room, going to his wife's room to see his daughter.

When passing by Wen Zhiyun's room on the way.

Chen An smelled the faint fragrance of heather coming from inside, and felt a little unconvinced.

If they were to face off head-on, he would not be inferior to Wen Zhiyun at all and would be able to make this arrogant concubine beg for mercy.

However, now this arrogant concubine, relying on her pregnancy, was sure that he had no strength to use, so she only attacked and did not defend throughout the whole process, and even used despicable tricks, making him unable to say anything.

"After the baby is born, I will get it back with interest, and make her beg for mercy every day."

Chen An comforted himself in his heart.

Soon after, he walked into his little wife's room and watched her teaching their daughter various secular etiquette, which he found quite interesting.

In a blink of an eye.

Time came to the next day.

Chen An sat up beside his still sleeping wife and his eyes fell on the prompt message in front of him.

[Alchemy Experience +3] x15 [Alchemy Skill: Advanced Level 1 (2391/2500)]

"109 experience points left."

Looking at the data on the prompt message, Chen An felt slightly excited, thinking that it was an extremely correct decision that he spent 700 low-grade spirit stones to buy "Mandarin Ducks Flying Together" from the Treasure Pavilion that day.

Not to mention 700 low-grade spirit stones, he would feel it was worth it even if it was 7,000 low-grade spirit stones.

For others, the skill of "Mandarin Ducks Flying Together" may just be a tool to enhance the love experience with wives and concubines, and to reduce the burden afterwards.

But for him, this technique is an upgrade aid, which at least increases his upgrade speed by half.

Get dressed and get out of bed.

Wash up and drink porridge.

Chen An finished all this quickly, and then soon after, with his wife and daughter watching him, he went out with a medicine box full of pills on his back.

…

Bamboo Leaf Gang, Logistics Department.

Chen An went in as usual, delivered the pills, and turned to leave.

But before he took a few steps, he was stopped by a deacon behind him.

"Master Chen, wait a minute."

"Deacon Liu, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Chen An asked calmly.

But in his heart he started cursing, cursing those bastards in the logistics department for greedily increasing the supply of pills.

It was just a pity that he cursed the wrong person this time.

The deacon in the logistics department did not say anything about increasing the supply of pills.

Instead, he said:

"Master Chen, Elder Han, who is in charge of the entire logistics department, will come here later to call all the alchemists to a meeting. If you don't have anything urgent, you might as well sit here and wait, so that you don't have to make another trip."

"Thank you for the reminder, Deacon Liu."

Chen An smiled kindly.

After that, he asked, "Deacon Liu, what kind of meeting will be held later?"

Deacon Liu said, "I don't know exactly what the meeting is about, because the meeting was announced suddenly, and they are only now notifying the alchemists in the gang and the core area to come to the meeting."

“I see…”

Chen An pondered for a moment, nodded, and then found a quiet corner to sit down and wait.

Alas, I hope this isn't a meeting just to further exploit the alchemists.

He sighed in his heart.

While waiting for something free, he observed the lower-level monks who were busy at work in the logistics department.

There are more men than women.

There are handsome and ugly men, but there are only ugly women. There is not even one who is average.

The reason for this phenomenon is that those good-looking female cultivators from the lower class are basically taken home by some wealthy male cultivators to be concubines.

The rest were so ugly that no one wanted them, so they could only stay in the logistics department and work like slaves.

As time goes by.

Gradually, more and more monks came into the logistics department.

Almost all of them were alchemists who had received a meeting notice and rushed over.

There was an alchemist who knew Chen An. After seeing him sitting in a corner, he walked over and sat down to wait, and greeted him with a smile.

About half an hour later.

The corner that originally seemed empty has become crowded unknowingly.

From the beginning when there was only Chen An, to now there are more than fifty people.

These fifty plus people are the best alchemists in the entire bamboo forest.

The starting point is the first-level advanced level.

However, most of them are at the advanced first level, and only two have reached the second level.

"Dear fellow alchemists, thank you for your hard work in gathering at the logistics department."

As a deep male voice sounded, an old man in white clothes appeared in front of everyone.

This is Elder Han from the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

As soon as they saw the elder who was in charge of the logistics department, many alchemists on the scene began to flatter him, saying how it was not hard at all and that it was an honor for them to be summoned by Elder Han.

In fact, it’s no wonder that these alchemists are flattering.

After all, the Elder Han in front of him was a big shot who controlled the fate of all the alchemists in the Bamboo Forest.

Whether or not one can join the Bamboo Leaf Gang and become an alchemist, and how much elixir supply the alchemist must provide to the logistics department every month, are all decided by Elder Han.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment."

Elder Han pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Then he said: "The reason why I called everyone here today is mainly to talk to you about refining poison pills."

Poison pill?

Upon hearing these two words, all the alchemists present couldn't help but change their expressions.

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that someone was secretly making poison pills to sell, and everyone was implicated.

But what Elder Han said next was not what they expected.

Instead, he made a shocking statement, asking the alchemists present to make a special poison pill to control the mercenaries on the battlefield.

Because the Bamboo Leaf Gang has been increasingly losing ground in the recent war with the Black Iron Villa, many mercenaries have chosen to turn against the gang and attack the members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, carrying their heads with them to join the Black Iron Villa.

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, Elder Han asked the alchemists to develop a special poison.

The requirement is: it is completely harmless to the body under normal circumstances, but if specific antidotes are not taken regularly, it will eventually lead to a sudden death.

In order to increase enthusiasm, very generous rewards were also given.

Some give gifts like a Taoist partner, some give gifts like status, some give gifts like martial arts... and there are many such gifts.

The alchemists at the scene were all excited after hearing this, and most of them began to get restless.

Chen An is the less sociable one among them.

He had no interest in it.

I don't want to show up in public just to get this reward.

I just want to quickly break through to become a second-level alchemist, and then join the Treasure Pavilion to change my life.

Not long.

The meeting was disbanded.

Chen An didn't stay long and left the logistics department immediately.

After returning home.

He went straight to the room of his young wife Song Huaying.

Currently, I am only 109 experience points away from breaking through to the second level of Dandao realm.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Thinking that I would make my little wife work hard again, I directly broke through the Dandao realm tonight.

As compensation, he will love his young wife even more and give her more respect in the future.

Instead of letting the little wife be a little woman who only knows how to obey her husband and has no life of her own.

It was getting dark.

There was a slight cool breeze outside.

That night, daughter Chen Yuejian slept in Wen Zhiyun's room.

Chen An pushed open the door of his young wife's room, took off his clothes and lay down on her bed, chatting with her about every beautiful moment in the past two and a half years of marriage.

"My dear husband, Ying'er is just an ordinary girl. Why are you, as an immortal master, so kind to me?"

Song Huaying lay weakly on the bed, breathing deeply and heavily, her delicate, rosy little face filled with an expression of confusion.

Chen An chose to follow his heart and honestly told the real reason, saying: "It's because Ying'er is so beautiful. At that time, I was fascinated by her after just one more look."

"Ah... is that all?"

Song Huaying was a little disappointed with this answer.

But soon, she put away the disappointment on her face, and instead smiled sweetly with her watery eyes: "Then my husband, you must take advantage of Ying'er's youth and beauty to look at her more often, otherwise when Ying'er is old and ugly, there will be nothing for you to see."

"No, I will definitely find Ying'er some kind of beauty elixir in the future, so that she can stay young forever. I want to see a young and beautiful Ying'er every day."

"Husband..."

Song Huaying was moved, and her eyes became slightly moist.

Chen An gently wiped the crystal tears from her eyes and said lovingly, "Ying'er, it's almost time to rest. It's time to continue to savor every beautiful moment of the past two and a half years."

"Um."

Song Huaying nodded with tears in her eyes.

Happy times always pass quickly.

In a blink of an eye.

It's already daybreak.

When Chen An opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window, which was originally pitch black, had become completely bright.

He lowered his head to look at his darling wife who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes last night, and let one of his darling wife's legs rest on his body.

Then, an idea came to his mind, and he called up the progress bar of the alchemy technique that he had been thinking about to check the data.

[Alchemy: Second Level Elementary (2502/12500)]

"I am a second-level alchemist..."

Chen An looked at the prompt message in front of him and did not feel as excited as he had imagined. He only felt that this was what he deserved.
