Chapter 41: The Right Cultivation Method

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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

The days in the core area were still peaceful.

The war in the cheap district gradually subsided.

It was not that the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Manor had ended, but that both sides had tacitly moved the battlefield to the border.

No more petty fights.

They no longer provoked each other.

Instead, they began to fight head-on.

The main fighting force on the battlefield had also upgraded from the middle-stage Qi Refining realm to the late-stage Qi Refining realm.

The degree of cruelty increased exponentially.

However, this did not affect Chen An much.

He was an Alchemist and only needed to stay at home and refine pills.

At most, the supply of medicinal pills he has to produce increased a little.

On this day.

Chen An had just finished refining a batch of pills.

He was very tired.

With his back against the wall, he sat on the ground to rest.

With a thought,

He opened the interface to check his personal attributes.

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 5]

[Wealth: 502 low-grade spirit stones]

[Alchemy Technique: Advanced Level 1 (666/2500)]

[Divine Consciousness: Advanced Level 1 (589/2500)]

[Goldfinger: Proficient (423/500)]

[Sleepy Time Spell: Proficient (108/500)]

[Spouses: Song Huaying, GuXinyue]

[Progeny: Chen Yuejian]

From top to bottom, Chen An read it seriously.

All his attributes had increased significantly.

He had broken through to the Proficient realm of the Sleepy Time Spell.

His Goldfinger proficiency also broke through to the next realm.

However, his Cultivation didn’t move at all. He was still at the fifth level.

This system was good in every way, but it could not directly increase his cultivation.

Chen An was worried about this.

Now, the Bamboo Leaf Forest was becoming more and more chaotic.

No matter how strong one’s divine consciousness was or how high one’s attainments in alchemy were, as long as one’s cultivation was not high, they would always be at the mercy of others.

“Looks like I have to speed up the process of taking in Wen Zhiyun.”

“Perhaps when my daughter grows up and embarks on the path of cultivation, as a father, I will be able to obtain more benefits to my cultivation.”

“After all, if I can obtain from my wives, I should be able to obtain the same from my daughter.”

At this moment, Chen An was the same as his wife, Song Huaying. They were all looking forward to their daughter, Chen Yuejian, growing up quickly.

Just as he was thinking about this, there was suddenly an urgent knock on the door outside, as well as the excited voice of his wife, Song Huaying.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Husband, come out and take a look. Yuejian has learned to walk!”

What?!

Learned to walk?

Already?

She was only five months old.

Without thinking too much, Chen An immediately came out of the alchemy room and followed Song Huaying to the front yard.

Then, she saw the small Chen Yuejian staggering around the courtyard under the care of Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue. Her face lighted up with a brilliant smile.

It was obvious that this was the first time she had learned to walk. She felt very happy to be able to go wherever she wanted.

“What is this…”

Seeing her parents come out of the house, Chen Yuejian immediately walked over on her short legs, babbling.

[Your daughter, Chen Yuejian, learned to walk. You’re rewarded with one Qi Gathering Pill.]

Just as Chen An saw the notification pop up, he realized that a medicinal pill had appeared in his hand out of thin air.

He looked down and saw a light purple pill.

On the surface, there was a faint purple aura lingering, emitting a faint fragrance.

“What is this…”

Chen Yuejian walked in front of her father and reached out to grab her father’s pants to stabilize her body. She raised her chubby face slightly and looked at her father, as if asking for a hug.

Chen An carried his daughter and swung her around, making her giggle non-stop.

“Don’t shake the child like this. It’s not good for the child’s health!”

Wen Zhiyun walked over and said angrily, looking as if she was Chen Yuejian’s biological mother.

Chen An ignored her. He handed his giggling daughter to his wife and hurried back to the alchemy room.

The system had just rewarded him with a Qi Gathering Pill. He couldn’t wait to eat it and see how effective the pill was and how much his Cultivation could increase.

Looking at Chen An’s back view and thinking of his lukewarm attitude towards her just now, Wen Zhiyun felt very upset.

She knew that Chen An was playing hard to get, but it was a pity that she fell for it.

Her lifeline was in his hands.

In the alchemy room.

Chen An found a random place to sit down.

Without thinking, he swallowed the pill in his hand.

The medicinal pill melted in his mouth and turned into wisps of warm current that flowed in his body.

Wherever it passed, the blood vessels dilated and the pores enlarged.

In an instant.

His entire body seemed to have turned into a black hole.

A powerful suction force was born out of thin air from the inside out, sucking the spiritual qi in the air into his body through his pores.

Chen An felt as if every cell in his body was being cut by a knife when so much spiritual energy suddenly surged in forcefully. It was so painful that he gasped out loud.

About two hours later.

An eye-catching notification popped up before his eyes.

[Cultivation: Qi Refinement Level 6]

“Phew-”

Looking at the notification in front of him, Chen An let out a deep breath. His face was filled with a gratified smile.

He had finally broken through.

After taking the pill, he directly broke through to the sixth level.

Indeed, nurture is better than nature.

When his daughter was born, he was only rewarded with a Sleepy Time Spell.

As for learning to walk, he was rewarded with Qi Gathering Pills.

In the future, there would be other milestones for learning to speak, learning to draw Qi into the body, and various learning stages to experience.

Chen An was looking forward to the reward at that time.

The requirements were not high. He only needed to have one Qi Gathering Pill every time.

“Husband, come out for dinner!”

His wife Song Huaying’s voice came from outside the door.

Chen An stood up and went to open the door. However, he was not in a hurry to go to the hall to eat. Instead, he pulled his wife in.

It had been a long time since he had taught his wife how to refine pills. Since he happened to be in the alchemy room now, he would teach her and improve her alchemy skills.

After about an incense stick of time.

“Ying’er, which of these three alchemy methods do you prefer?”

“Husband, I like both.”

It’s too perfunctory.”

“If I have to say which one 1 like more, it should be the conventional alchemy method. However, sometimes, when I’m tired of using the conventional method, 1’11 want to try another alchemy method.”

“Then I’ll teach you other alchemy methods in the future.”

“Ying’er is looking forward to it. When the time comes, she will definitely study hard and not disappoint you.”

“Let’s go and eat first. I’ll teach you alchemy tonight.”

After saying that, the two of them wiped the sweat off their bodies and tidied up their clothes that they unbuttoned from the heat. Soon, they got up and went to the hall to eat.

They arrived at the hall.

Chen An had just sat down at the dining table when Wen Zhiyun, who was opposite him, said in surprise,

“You broke through?”

“Yes, I broke through from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.”

Chen An said calmly.

Wen Zhiyun found it hard to believe.

She still remembered that when she first met Chen An last year, he was only a Cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

But now, in the blink of an eye, his Cultivation had reached the sixth level.

He was only a step away from the late-stage of Qi Refining.

In just a short year, he had broken through twice in a row.

What kind of cultivation speed was this?!

Wen Zhiyun couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen An felt that this was a good opportunity to fool her. He said to her,

“Fellow Cultivator Wen, I told you before.”

“Let nature take its course, just marry and have children. Don’t overly suppress your humanly emotions and desires. That’s the right cultivation method.”

“The reason why you can reach the eighth level of Qi Refining is purely because you’re talented, not because you suppressed your desires.”

Was that really the case…

Wen Zhiyun wavered.

She began to wonder if her previous cultivation philosophy was really wrong.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen An did not say anything else and quietly ate.
