Chapter 147 - 147: Blocked by the Fox DemonChapter 147: Blocked by the Fox Demon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For a moment, Chen An thought he had seen wrongly.
The aptitude of the Wood Spiritual Root had actually increased?
From an invisible spiritual root to a visible spiritual root?
What was going on?
Chen An was puzzled.
Wasn’t his wife a Flower Demon now?
Where did she get her spiritual root?
Why would it give me feedback to increase my Wood Spiritual Root aptitude after the sex?
Chen An was puzzled.
But soon, he roughly understood this.
Perhaps in the system’s appraisal, demon cores were no different from spiritual roots. They were both used to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to cultivate.
After understanding all of this, Chen An could not help but smile in relief.
This awakened the Wood Spiritual Root.
He had really searched high and low for it, only to find it without any effort.
Seeing Chen An suddenly smile, Song Huaying could not help but ask in puzzlement,
“Husband, what are you laughing at?”
H
It’s nothing. It’s just that Ying’er, you’re too beautiful. You’re so beautiful that when I see you, I’ll naturally smile.”
Chen An said sweetly.
After saying that, he continued to be intimate with his wife and did not waste a second.
Time passed quickly.
With a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
At this moment, Song Huaying was so tired that she fell asleep in Chen An’s arms.
She slept very soundly.
She might not even be able to wake up with a push.
Seeing this, Chen An reached out and caressed his wife’s delicate face. He could not help but lower his head and kiss her.
Then, he circulated his spiritual qi and gently moved her away from him. He placed her to the side and let her sleep alone.
Then, with a thought, he checked the notification that had popped up since last night.
[Alchemy Experience+4, Wood Spiritual Root+4] X50
[Wood Spiritual Root: Medium-grade, 20%]
Chen An looked at the word “mid-grade” in the notification and could not help but feel a little excited.
In just a short night, the aptitude of this Wood Spiritual Root had increased to medium-grade.
How efficient.
Well, now that he had the Wood Spiritual Root, it was time to learn the Wood Escape Technique.
Then the problem was, where can he learn Wood Escape Technique from?
Chen An thought for a moment and could only buy it from a trading company outside.
However, he did not know if the trading company was still operating since there were demonic beasts everywhere outside.
As he thought about it, Chen An put on his clothes, got out of bed, and left the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe told Gu Xinyue, who he had seen in the hall, that he was going out to see if the trading company was open and to buy something.
Gu Xinyue looked worried. It was so dangerous outside now. She didn’t want Chen An to go out.
However, Chen An did not care so much. He only told her to stay at home and contact him via voice transmission.
Just as he finished reminding her, he suddenly thought of Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi used to be a core disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect. He did not know if she had mastered Wood Escape technique herself.
At the thought of this, Chen An went to ask Shen Qingyi.
The result was disappointing. Shen Qingyi did not learn Wood Escape Technique.
There was no other way.
He could only go outside to buy it.
Soon, Chen An left the tunnel and flew to Willow Street on his sword.
At this moment, the sky was still a little bright.
Perhaps it was because it was too early, but he had not encountered a single bird demon after flying in the sky on his sword for so long.
How rare.
Hence, the journey was unimpeded. In a moment, he arrived at Willow Street.
At this moment, many damaged houses could be seen on Willow Street. It was no longer as lively as before.
There were only a few people on the street.
Many shops were closed.
Only a few large shops were still open.
At this moment, without exception, these large shops were all guarded by Core Formation experts, and there were protective array formations around them.
It seemed that the invasion of the demonic beasts during this period of time had a huge impact on the entire Redwood Forest.
It was just a matter of how big the impact was.
When Chen An saw that the familiar Qin Trading Company was still operating, he quickly flew down on his sword.
As soon as he walked into the shop, a male shopkeeper at the counter immediately welcomed him and said warmly,
“Fellow Cultivator, do you want to buy something or sell something?”
The professional smile was not very practiced.
His speech skills were also very ordinary.
It was obvious that he had just become a shopkeeper.
Speaking of which, where did the young and beautiful Shopkeeper Qin go?
Why was there a change of personel?
Thinking about it, Chen An asked in confusion, “Excuse me for asking, but where’s Shopkeeper Qin? Isn’t she in the shop?”
At the mention of Shopkeeper Qin, the male shopkeeper couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Fellow Cultivator, you should be talking about my sister. My sister’s life is a little bitter. Two months ago, she unfortunately died in a wave of demonic beast invasion. She’s already buried.”
“I see…”
Chen An nodded and sighed in his heart.
This world was too despairing. People suddenly disappeared just like that. Life was really fragile.
“By the way, do you want to buy something or sell something?”
The male shopkeeper asked enthusiastically again.
Chen An did not waste any time and went straight to the point. “I want to buy a Wood Escape Technique. 1 wonder if your branch sells it here?”
“Fellow Cultivator, what are you talking about? I’m running a business here. It’s just a Wood Escape Technique. I have to have it.”
Soon, the male shopkeeper took out a technique manual.
The words “Wood Escape Technique” were written on the cover.
Mm, confirmed. This is the technique I want to buy…
As he thought about it, Chen An asked, “I wonder how much this Wood Escape Technique is worth?”
The male shopkeeper raised three fingers and said, “Three high-grade spirit stones.”
“That expensive?”
Chen An opened his eyes. For a moment, he thought that he had heard wrongly.
The male shopkeeper explained, “Fellow Cultivator, there are demonic beasts wreaking havoc everywhere outside. The cost of opening a shop has increased greatly, so the prices of goods can only increase.”
“Moreover, my price is already the most affordable.”
“You’ll only find it to be more expensive in other shops.”
The male shopkeeper’s face was filled with sincerity. It was unknown if what he said was true.
Chen An said, “I see. I’ll take a look again.” With that, he left the Qin Trading Company and went to other places to compare goods.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Chen An had already looked at four trading companies in a row and realized that the male manager of the Qin trading company was not lying. The Wood Escape Technique he sold was really the most affordable.
Therefore, he returned, but he was not in a hurry to enter the trading company. Instead, he deliberately wandered outside.
Not long after, the male shopkeeper in the business saw him and hurriedly came out with a smile.
“Fellow Cultivator, do you still want that Wood Escape Technique?”
“I can make it cheaper for you.”
“I’ll only charge you 2 high-grade spirit stones and 90 medium-grade spirit stones.”
Well, he was cheaper by 10 medium-grade spirit stones…
Chen An no longer hesitated and immediately went into the shop to buy the Wood Escape Technique.
It was not a transaction of money and goods at the same time.
In order to buy this Wood Escape Technique, Chen An took out many Small Revitalizing Pill to barter.
He was very poor now.
He did not even have a few medium-grade spirit stones on him.
Not to mention high-grade spirit stones.
The reason for this was that he used spirit stones to refine and cultivate whenever he had them. He could not save up spirit stones at all.
“By the way, Shopkeeper, I heard that many families and sects have surged into Hundred Herb Alley now. What’s the exact situation over at Hundred Herb Alley?”
Chen An asked the male shopkeeper.
The male shopkeeper knew that the most important thing in doing business was to build a good relationship with the customers.
Thus, he didn’t hide anything and shared everything he knew.
Before long, Chen An had a rough understanding of the current situation in Hundred Herbs Alley.
Other than the Crimson Fire Gang, there were also nine Golden Core factions stationed inside.
There were four Golden Core families, the Qin family, the Xiao family, the Ye family, and the Lu family.
There were five Golden Core gangs, the Black Wind Gang, the Iron Stone Gang, the Xu Kun Gang, the Giant Hammer Gang, and the Blue Sea Gang.
Among them, the strongest was the Xu Kun Gang.
It was said that the leader in charge of leading the team had a cultivation as high as the perfected sixth level of the Golden Core realm and was infinitely close to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm.
“Late-stage Golden Core Realm?”
“This is indeed troublesome. If I encounter him, I probably won’t be able to defeat him.”
“However, with the Shadow Assassination Technique and the Wood Escape Technique, even if I really encounter and have a conflict, I should be able to retreat unscathed.”
Chen An thought about it and felt that his family could still hide in Hundred Herbs Alley for a while longer.
When he broke through to the Golden Core Stage after some time, he would move out of Hundred Herbs Alley with his family and see if it was better to establish his own sect or join the Heaven Earth Sect.
As a Class 3 Alchemist and a Golden Core cultivation state, even a large sect like the Heaven Earth Sect would not let this chance slip by easily.
Moreover, this day would not arrive too late.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was because the Father-Daughter Relationship level of his two daughters would be upgraded soon.
His eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, was about to rise to 4 stars.
His second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, was about to rise to 2 stars.
At that time, there would be two more waves of rewards. If nothing went wrong, it should still be cultivation.
Now that his cultivation was at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, after obtaining two waves of system rewards, he would probably be able to directly break through to the Golden Core realm.
Even if he couldn’t, it wouldn’t be far off.
After thinking about this, Chen An asked the male shopkeeper again about the situation in the Redwood Forest recently. He also asked about the situation of the demonic beasts that had descended from the sky.
Soon, he understood more.
Now, in the entire Redwood Forest, the place where the demon disaster was the most serious was Hundred Herbs Alley.
The number of demonic beasts there was almost ten times that of other places.
Moreover, the late-stage Golden Core demonic beast with the highest cultivation was in Hundred Herbs Alley.
It was a huge python demon.
It was more than a hundred meters long.
Its body was nearly three meters wide.
It had two horns on its head.
It was suspected that it was about to shed its skin and transform into a dragon.
Now, many families and gangs had designs on this snake demon and wanted to join forces to hunt it.
“Shopkeeper, where exactly is this snake demon in Hundred Herbs Alley now?”
“I think it’s at the northernmost position.”
“That’s good.”
Chen An smiled. He lived in the South Alley and was a certain distance away from this snake demon. It was still considered safe.
Then, he walked around the trading company and bought some gifts for his wife and daughter.
He bought accessories for his wives. They were all cheap items, what mattered was his sincerity.
After all, he was very poor now.
The snacks he bought for his two daughters were not expensive either. One medium-grade spirit stone could buy a lot.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was more than enough to make his two daughters vomit.
He had bought the Wood Escape Technique and the gifts for his wives and daughters. It was time to go home.
Chen An bade farewell to the male shopkeeper and turned to walk out of the door.
However, before he reached the door, he suddenly frowned and stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, his powerful spiritual sense sensed that a ball of high energy was pressing towards the Qin Trading Company outside.
This high-energy body was very familiar!
It was the purple-dressed woman from before, a fox demon suspected to be the Nine-Tailed Fox!
“It’s over. The door is going to be blocked!”
Chen An’s heart sank to the bottom.
However, he quickly calmed down and turned to walk towards the window behind him. He wanted to jump out of the window and escape to avoid the purple-dressed woman.
At the same time, with a thought, he took out a bottle of Emotion Severing Pills from his storage bag and quickly uncorked it. Without thinking, he poured the entire bottle into his mouth.
However, when he came to the window and was about to jump out to escape,
A fragrant wind suddenly blew over.
It turned into a pink heart-shaped fog that slowly floated in from the window.
Her target was his handsome face.
At the same time, a charming voice sounded from outside the window.
“Young Sir, where are you going?”
