Chapter 73: One Sword for One Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shopkeeper Liu was very shocked. He looked at Chen An in disbelief.

In a godforsaken place like the Bamboo Leaf Forest, where any Foundation Establishment Cultivator could lord over this place, a wild second-grade Alchemist actually appeared?

What kind of story was this? It was too unreal!

Shopkeeper Liu calmed himself down a little and asked suspiciously, “Alchemist Chen, is what you said true?”

“Absolutely.”

Chen An raised his middle finger at Shopkeeper Liu. With a thought, he condensed a wisp of alchemic fire on his fingertip.

The heart of the fire was dark red, and the outer flames were light purple.

It looked like the scorching sun in the sky, burning especially bright.

This was the Pill Fire unique to second-grade Alchemists.

Shopkeeper Liu held his breath and looked at Chen An with reverence.

Then, he regained his enthusiasm and said, “Congratulations to Alchemist Chen for breaking through to the second-grade in alchemy. Alchemist Chen has the potential of an Alchemy God. In the future, you will definitely break through to third grade!”

“Thank you for your kind words, Shopkeeper Liu.”

Chen An smiled back politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shopkeeper Liu asked Chen An, “Alchemist Chen, are you applying to join the Treasure Pavilion?”

“Yes.”

“If you join the Treasure Pavilion, reaching the second grade 2 is only the most basic requirement. There are many miscellaneous requirements that follow. I wonder if Alchemist Chen has an understanding of that?”

“No, please enlighten me, Shopkeeper Liu.”

“I can’t share much. I’m only an acting shopkeeper of one of the branches under the Treasure Pavilion. How would 1 know so much?”

“Then how do we do this?”

“The Treasure Pavilion will send a person in charge of the accounts to audit the accounts every half a year. This person in charge has the right to recommend. At that time, Alchemist Chen can come to me on the right day.”

Once every six months? Hearing this, Chen An frowned.

He calmed down and asked, “Shopkeeper Liu, how long will it be before the other party comes here to check the accounts again?”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, your luck is not bad. The next audit will be in half a month.”

Hearing this, Chen An heaved a sigh of relief.

If the person-in-charge could only come half a year later, with the application for the test and so on, a year might not be enough.

It took such a long time. It would have been fine if it was in the past when the Bamboo Leaf Forest was stable.

But now, the Bamboo Leaf Gang was completely suppressed by the Black Iron Manor on the battlefield. Who knew if the Bamboo Leaf Forest would still be around a year later and would be destroyed by the Black Iron Manor?

After leaving the Treasure Hall, Chen An went straight home.

He pushed open the door and walked into the hall.

He saw his three wives and daughters sitting together and reciting poems.

This was a family poetry gathering organized by his wife, who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The few of them were having a lot of fun.

Chen An listened for a while and felt that his level was average. He was far inferior to him, a plagiarist.

However, there were also highlights.

It was a poem composed by his daughter, Chen Yuejian.

There was a bird in the sky;

There was a worm on the ground.

The birds swooped down;

The cycle of life continues.

When Chen An heard this, his face was filled with amazement. She was only a year old and could compose a poem. My daughter has the making of a poet!

When Song Huaying saw that Chen Wencheng was watching from the side, she could not help but go forward and hold his arm. She shook it and wheedled, asking him to participate and show off a few moves.

It would be a waste if Chen An did not pretend to be pretentious when such an opportunity was presented to him.

Relying on the poems he had memorized during his nine years of compulsory education, he dealt a dimensional blow to his three wives and successfully gained their admiration.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed.

It was closer to the day when the Treasure Pavilion sent people to check the accounts.

On this day, Chen An had just finished refining pills in the alchemy room when his wife’s voice sounded outside.

“Husband, Ying’er encountered some problems in cultivation that she doesn’t understand. Can she come in and ask for guidance now?”

“Sure, come in.”

Creak—

His wife gently pushed the door open and entered. She held a book called “Life Nourishment Art” in her hand and walked over to Chen An’s side to sit down.

She flipped to one of the pages and pointed at an action on the illustration. “Husband, the people in this painting are almost spreading their legs and pressing them down into a line. I can’t press them down at all. It hurts.”

Chen An took a look at the illustration and realized that it was a one-line move. In his previous life, anyone who danced could do it.

“Come, Ying’er, come over here. I’ll teach you what to do.”

“Thank you, Husband.”

“Just like this, find a place about your waist high, put your leg on it, press down, and stretch. Do it every morning, noon, and night. When the ligaments under your joints are completely pulled open, you can do this action.” “Husband, what’s a ligament?”

Song Huaying heard an unfamiliar term and could not help but feel curious.

Chen An did not find her curiosity annoying. He patiently explained to her, “Ligaments are an important soft tissue that maintains the stability of the human joints. They are also an important component of the human skeletal and muscle systems.”

When Song Huaying heard that, she became even more curious. She asked with her beautiful eyes, “Husband, what is soft tissue? What is a muscle system?”

Chen An started to get annoyed. He pinched her little mouth that kept asking questions and said, “Why can’t you stop asking? Hurry up and do as I said just now. Lift your leg and put it on top, press it down, and stretch.”

“Husband, Ying’er’s legs have grown fat. They’re so heavy. 1 can’t lift them. Can you help me lift them?”

As Song Huaying spoke, she pulled up her right skirt a little, revealing a snow-white and well-proportioned slender leg. She pretended to be troubled and tempted.

His wife was getting better at seducing people…

Chen An sighed in his heart. Then, as his wife had wished, he raised her right leg and gently placed it on a low medicine cabinet in front of him.

“Ying’er, how do you feel?”

“I don’t feel anything.”

“Come, move forward a little. I’ll help you adjust your posture.”

“Husband, it hurts!”

“It’s normal to feel pain. You haven’t pulled away at all now. You’ll be fine after you do more in the future.”

As Chen An helped his wife adjust the posture of her jade legs, he explained to her gently.

During this period, Chen An realized that his wife’s legs were a little plumper than before.

However, she did not gain much weight. Instead, it was just right.

His wife’s legs in the past looked a little too slender.

In the words of his previous life, it was a pair of chopstick legs.

It looked good, but it didn’t feel like it at all when he touched it. It was a little good-looking but useless.

Now that she was a little fatter, she looked a little plumper than before. She felt more fleshy and very tempting.

“Husband, stop pressing. It hurts.”

“It’s fine. You’ll get used to it after pressing it for a while.”

“Ying’er can’t do it…”

“If you can’t do it, you’ll be… Well, you’ll be beaten.”

“Husband, Ying’er wants to be beaten.”

Song Huaying’s beautiful eyes were blurry as she looked at Chen An with a look of wanting to be taught a lesson. Her voice was soft as she exhaled.

Chen An’s heart itched at her words. He could only choose to satisfy her request.

In an instant, a crisp slap sounded in the alchemy room.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

On this day, the Treasure Pavilion sent people to check the accounts.

Chen An woke up before dawn. He casually ate something to fill his stomach before setting off for the market. He went to the Treasure Hall and sat down to wait.

On the way, many Cultivators who woke up early came and went.

When he passed by the North Alley, he saw a few Cultivators gathered together and chatting.

“Have you heard? Recently, a god has appeared in the Bamboo Leaf Forest. With just a person and a sword, in just a few days, the security of the entire Bamboo Leaf Forest has increased to a height that has never been seen before. It’s much stronger than the patrol team of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.”

“Heh, those bastards from the Bamboo Leaf Gang have to take a detour when they see that god now, afraid that they will be killed by that god. After all, the biggest bandits in the Bamboo Leaf Forest are those f*cking things.”

“I heard that that god is a woman. She’s so beautiful that the moon and flowers turn away in her beauty. I wonder who will have the fortune to marry her and make her his wife.”

“Marry her? What a joke! She’s a core disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect. Which man is worthy of marrying her? If you ask me, it’s more like a man marrying into the family.”

Listening to the passers-by’s words, Chen An could not help but feel that Shen Qingyi was really a killing god. He felt that if he could not enter the Treasure Pavilion and chose to cozy up to her, it seemed to be a way.

Putting everything else aside, if he could really cozy up to Shen Qingyi, at least he could do whatever he wanted in the Bamboo Leaf Forest..
