The next day, early morning.
The female cultivator who lives across the door came early to pay off the low-grade spiritual stone she owed yesterday.
He also gave me an extra piece and bought another bottle of Jie Shu Dan back.
Looking at the haggard look on the female cultivator's face, Chen An estimated that she was trying to find a way to get money last night and was so busy that she didn't sleep all night.
As for where the money came from and how, Chen An didn't care about it, he just knew that he could make money.
"Husband, it's still early now, can we go back to the room and sleep for a while?"
Song Huaying held Chen An's arm, her beautiful eyes filled with water, and she shook her head coquettishly.
When the female cultivator came to pay back the money just now, she looked at her carefully.
It turned out that the other party was not inferior to me at all in appearance or figure.
Her sense of crisis increased greatly, and she was worried that if the other party really became her husband's concubine in the future, her current family status would be in jeopardy.
In order to avoid this situation, she thought that she must try her best to please her husband and further enhance her status in her husband's mind before he was admitted into the house.
So, in the following days.
Because of Song Huaying's intentional actions, the couple's life gradually returned to the same as before the pregnancy, and they had to have fun every day.
It's just that the number of daily correspondences is less than half compared to before, and the process will be more careful and gentle, and more attention will be paid to spiritual communication with each other.
During this period, the female cultivator who lived across the street would come over every once in a while to buy Jie Shu Dan.
The intervals between each time became shorter and shorter, as if her seriously ill father's condition had worsened and his need for Jie Shu Dan was increasing.
At first, Chen An thought it was because Jie Shu Dan had side effects that even he didn't know about.
Such as dependence, addiction and so on.
As a result, after consulting some information, I learned that the reason why this happened was entirely due to the fire poison patients themselves.
It was simply that the fire poisoning was at an advanced stage, and then his physical condition declined sharply, and his condition worsened day by day.
To put it simply, it is almost the same as the late stage cancer in the previous life.
The body deteriorates day by day until death.
And the female nun's current behavior is equivalent to spending all her money on chemotherapy for her seriously ill father, just hoping that he can live longer.
Chen An thought about trying to persuade the female cultivator.
Saying that if you do this, you will only ruin your own life and make your father suffer from illness.
It's better to let your father end his pain as soon as possible, and you won't have to be so tired.
But then I thought about it, the father and daughter have been dependent on each other for so long, and the relationship between them is deep. It is not the turn of an outsider like me to analyze the pros and cons and make people make choices.
…
The days passed like this day by day.
[Goldfinger: Getting Started (66/100)]
[Alchemy: First level intermediate (338/500)]
[Wife: Song Huaying]
[Attribute: The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water]
[Emotion: 2 stars (299/500)]
[Alchemy experience provided: 320]
[Cheat finger proficiency provided: 60]
After a quick glance, the increase is not big.
Chen An put away the data in front of him and couldn't help but think of the young female cultivator who lived across the door, a first-level Qi Refining female cultivator named Gu Xinyue.
He still remembered the words when the other party cried and said that she was willing to be a concubine as long as she could save her father.
My little wife is now almost five months pregnant.
In another two months, I will have to take care of my baby and not be able to have fun.
At that time, whether it is the Alchemy realm or the Golden Finger realm, the speed of improvement will be greatly reduced.
Judging from this trend, it is somewhat unrealistic to save enough money to move to a core area before the child is born.
After all, from getting married to now, I have only saved less than 300 low-grade spiritual stones.
The only solution at present is to upgrade the alchemy realm to the first level as soon as possible.
In this way, the income from alchemy can be greatly increased, which is more than enough to pay the rent in the core area.
For this reason, Chen An must find a partner who can assist him in his cultivation.
As for this candidate, he fell in love with the young female cultivator who lived across the street - Gu Xinyue.
First, the other person has outstanding appearance and tall figure, which suits his own aesthetics.
The second is that the other party is young and not experienced in the world, so it is easier to train him in the future.
The third is that the other party keeps his promise. Once he buys the elixir on credit, he will pay it off on the day he says. He has a strong personality and shoulders the responsibility of the entire family alone as a woman. My father never abandons me.
With such a high-quality partner, it would be a pity if he couldn't find a way to lure her into the house.
"Hey, let's take it one step at a time."
Chen An lowered his head and glanced at his little wife's round and firm belly, which was beginning to take shape, and felt extremely worried.
The pressure of starting a family is really great and exhausting.
I really miss my previous unfettered single life.
…
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
In recent times, the situation in the cheap area has become increasingly chaotic.
Due to the problem of rising rents, there are now many more repairs.
I often hear of people being robbed of their money and even their clothes were stripped off.
The worse ones may even kill people and silence them after robbing them of money. The methods are extremely cruel.
The atmosphere in the entire cheap district is very depressing now.
Unless their strength is guaranteed, many people will generally stay at home and shut themselves up.
Some of those who are not economically viable will either directly transform themselves into tribulation cultivators, or simply move out of the Bamboo Leaf Forest and find another way out.
Chen An, on the other hand, is one of those people who always stays behind closed doors.
He spends most of his time refining alchemy to make money, and a small amount of time having sex with his young wife.
On this day, Chen An had just finished a business and was about to go back to his room to be gentle with his young wife, when there was an inappropriate knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Master Chen, I'm here to buy ice crystal pills!"
Such a familiar voice, you knew it was Gu Xinyue who lived across the door without looking.
Came to buy her father's heat-relieving pills.
And this Summer-Relieving Pill has now been renamed Ice Crystal Pill.
After all, it is a bottle of elixir that can be sold for a low-grade spiritual stone. If it is called Jie Shu Dan, the price is too low and it is not worthy of the price.
But it's different when it's called Ice Crystal Pill.
It sounds very high-end, but you can buy it for just a low-grade spiritual stone, which feels very affordable.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how much do you want to buy this time?"
Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue outside the window and asked with a smile.
Gu Xinyue took out three low-grade spiritual stones, accurately threw them to Chen An, and said calmly: "Bring me three bottles of ice crystal pills."
This move is becoming more and more heroic.
Chen An sighed inwardly, and also joked: "Fellow Daoist Gu, where have you made a fortune recently? Could it be that you secretly committed a robbery, right?"
Gu Xinyue smiled faintly, said nothing, picked up three bottles of ice crystal pills, turned around and walked towards her home.
Seeing the graceful figure of the other party leaving, Chen An felt a little regretful.
If he had known that that day when Gu Xinyue came over crying and said she was willing to be a concubine, he should have taken her down.
It’s difficult to win now.
After all, people are no longer short of money now. They can afford pills and rent a house. Why should they have to be a concubine?
But when I thought about it again, I actually had nothing to regret.
To put it bluntly, during this period, he earned more than 30 low-grade spiritual stones just from selling ice crystal pills to Gu Xinyue.
If he had chosen to take her as his concubine that day, he would definitely not have earned the money.
Even, she had to pay the spirit stone to her father for medical treatment.
But having said that, where did Gu Xinyue, who was only at the first level of Qi Refining, get so many spiritual stones?
Could it be that he is a wealthy person on the list?
Chen An was puzzled.
…
Unknowingly, many days have passed.
During this period, the situation in the Zhuyelin cheap area became increasingly chaotic.
Many robber cultivators started by blocking roads and stealing money, and now they dare to break into houses and rob them even during the day.
It made the entire cheap district panic.
As an alchemist, Chen An had long since become a favorite in Jie Xiu's eyes.
Many robbery cultivators paid attention to him and carried out housebreaking and robbery on him.
It's just that the results are somewhat tragic.
They all failed to rob, but were shot in the head by Chen An with a golden finger, and their bodies were touched and their property confiscated.
After finishing the work, he was randomly dragged to a corner of the yard and buried, and died quietly.
But not everyone has the power to protect themselves like Chen An.
When most residents were robbed, they either gave in and lost money to eliminate the disaster, or they chose to resist and ended up with the tragic end of their lives.
For a time, a large number of monks moved away from the bamboo leaf forest and chose to find another way out.
Because there were so many people leaving and they couldn't get in or out for a long time, the top management of Zhuyelin became anxious.
Now that the tenants have left, who will collect the rent?
As a result, the top management of Zhuyelin began to make up for the loss. They arranged a steward in the late stage of Qi Refining to be in charge of each low-cost area in Zhuyelin, and assigned a small team of several mid-stage Qi Refining monks to patrol and manage together. Chaos in cheap areas.
The efforts are great and the results are remarkable.
In less than half a month, the entire low-cost area returned to its former tranquility.
Everyone dared to go out to do business, and the situation began to flourish.
But compared with half a year ago, it's still a lot worse.
Because of the arbitrary price increase of Red Leaf Forest in the past, and the severe public security problems in the later period, the reputation collapsed.
Now if we want to return to the previous prosperity, it will take at least several months or even a year to slowly recover.
…
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
On this day, there was good news in the red leaf forest.
Rents in cheap areas have dropped!
It has been reduced back to the original price of one low-grade spiritual stone per month!
Because of the pressure from the outside world, the Xuanhuang Sect, which had previously caused the blood demons to run rampant outside due to the mining of spirit stone veins, finally sent people out to clean up the mess.
Several powerful men at the Golden Core stage were sent to take action, and all the blood demons were wiped out in less than two days.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Most people have lost their families and their lives due to the blood demon's rampage, but there are also a few people who have made a lot of money because of it.
For example, Chen An, an alchemist, has earned more than 400 low-grade spiritual stones in nearly a year, and his life is much richer than before.
Being able to make so much money in one year was something I could never have imagined before.
Although the blood demon is gone now and alchemy is not so profitable, Chen An does not feel uncomfortable at all.
He had long known that this special period would not last long, and sooner or later someone would take action to solve it.
It was beyond his expectation that it lasted for almost a whole year.
"Ying'er, let's go out with my husband to go sightseeing and have some fun."
As soon as Chen An got up from his little wife, he immediately lowered his head and smiled at her with a "you know what" look.
Song Huaying's face immediately turned red. She knew that her husband wanted to go out and have some wild fun with her. Although she was a little embarrassed, she did not refuse. Instead, she pursed her lips and agreed, "Ying'er will listen to your husband."
Soon, the couple went out.
After walking a few steps, he met Gu Xinyue with a sad face.
Gu Xinyue was originally going to Chen An's house to talk to him about some unspeakable things.
I just happened to meet him this time, so I felt so heartbroken that I walked up to him with my head lowered and my eyes closed, and I begged him shamelessly:
"Master Chen, please accept me as your concubine!"
