Chen An looked at the notification that popped up in front of him.
At first, he was slightly stunned.
Then, he was overjoyed.
“Any living being that swallows my blood essence will become my slave for eternity. They won’t be able to rebel against me. Wasn’t this ancient secret technique meant for me to deal with that fox demon?”
The more Chen An thought about it, the more excited he became.
However, he quickly calmed down.
This ancient forbidden technique had a trigger condition. It was only effective on living beings whose cultivation levels were lower than the user.
As for the fox demon, her cultivation was at the intermediate stage of the Golden Core realm, and it was only a step away from the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.
In other words, if the forbidden technique, Blood Essence Enslavement, was to be effective on that fox demon, my cultivation had to at least break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.
However, my current cultivation level is only at the first level of the Golden Core realm. I’m still five small realms away from the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.
To be honest, this was not a goal that could be achieved in a short period of time.
Unless his second daughter learned how to draw Qi into her body.
In addition, his eldest daughter had successfully gathered Qi and become a Cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.
Perhaps at that time, 1 could still rely on the system’s reward to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm in one go.
Not long after, everyone finished their breakfast.
Soon, everyone went to do their own things.
Chen An walked into his room and tried to use the ancient forbidden technique, Blood Essence Enslavement.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and automatically mobilized the blood in his body. He gathered it on the index finger of his right hand and focused to condense a drop of blood essence.
This drop of blood essence emerged from his fingertip and floated quietly on his fingertip like an alchemic fire. It was filled with blood essence and bloodline power, looking a little evil.
“My head feels a little dizzy…”
“My limbs are starting to feel weak…”
“His face gradually turned pale…”
Chen An looked at himself in the mirror and muttered.
‘Blood Essence Enslavement’ was indeed an ancient forbidden technique.
Just condensing a drop almost squeezed me dry.
It seems that using this forbidden technique has its consequences.
Thinking of this, Chen An absorbed the drop of blood essence floating on his fingertip and let it return to his body to replenish his Qi and blood.
Soon, the situation around him completely recovered.
“I almost forgot to dig a room for the daughters.”
Chen An suddenly remembered this. He got out of bed and left the room to dig a new room.
He had to dig wide, and dig well.
He could not let his daughters suffer.
After spending a little time digging the room, Chen An found his wives and daughters and asked them to participate in the decorating of the room.
Not long after, a brand new room was built.
His two daughters looked very satisfied.
It was night time and it was time for his two daughters to sleep.
Tonight was the first night that the two of them did not sleep with their mothers.
Chen An was a man of his word. The first thing he did was walk into his two daughters’ room to tell them a bedtime story.
Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun were a little worried and came to see if their daughters could sleep well.
On the bed, on a very big bed.
The mother and daughter sat together and silently waited for their husband/father to tell them a bedtime story.
Originally, it was only for his two daughters to hear, but Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun also wanted to hear it, so they sat on the bed together.
Although this violated the principle of his two daughters sleeping independently, Chen An did not ask for too much since tonight was the first night.
Soon, under the expectant gazes of the mother and daughter, Chen An began to tell a story.
“A long time ago, in an unknown town, there was a very famous private school.”
“This is a private school for top scholars. There have been many top scholars in the imperial examination.”
“One day, the teacher in the private school found the three smartest students under him and gave them one spirit stone each. He asked them to buy the same thing to fill the entire private school.”
“The first student turned around and left the private school after receiving the silver. He went to the market outside and bought a large pile of cotton. He planned to fill the private school with this cotton, but unfortunately, he failed.
“The second student stood quietly and thought for a while. Then, his eyes lit up and he went out to buy many candles. He thought about how the candlelight would shine and illuminate the entire private school, but in the end, he realized that there was always a shadow in the private school.”
“The third student smiled evilly after receiving the money. He said that it was fine as long as he had hands. He told Sir to stay in the private school and wait for him to come back to perform his real skills. Then, he left the private school without looking back.”
At this point, Chen An looked at the mother and daughter in front of him. He smiled and asked, “Then here’s the question. If you were the third student in this story, what would you buy to fill up the private school?”
As soon as the question was thrown out, Wen Zhiyun, Song Huaying, and Chen Yuejian began to think.
As for the remaining silly second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, she was rolling around on the bed without any intention of using her brain.
Chen An shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his second daughter could only be a boor.
It seemed a little difficult to have some intelligence.
About half an hour later, Chen An interrupted their thoughts and looked at them. “Time’s up. Tell me your answers. Who wants to go first?”
There was a long pause, but the room was silent. No one answered.
Obviously, none of them could think of an answer.
Or rather, they could not think of a more reasonable answer.
Chen An looked at his smart wife and asked with high hopes, “Ying’er, have you thought of an answer?”
Song Huaying shook her head and said, “Husband, I’ve disappointed you. I can’t think of an answer.”
Her delicate little face was filled with defeat, and for the first time she had doubts about her ingenuity.
Seeing this, he could only look at Wen Zhiyun and ask, “Zhiyun, what about you?”
Wen Zhiyun shook her head without thinking. “Husband, if even Ying’er can’t answer this question, then 1 can’t do it either.”
His gaze landed on his eldest daughter and he asked with a last trace of hope, “Little Yuejian, what about you?”
“Father, your question is so difficult. I can’t think of an answer.”
Chen Yuejian frowned.
Yes, they were all wiped out…
Chen An had expected this outcome, but he was still a little disappointed.
It seemed that his wives and daughters were not very good at brainstorming.
It might be related to the environment of this era.
This was a feudal era. Most people’s thoughts were relatively limited, and it was difficult to jump out of a fixed thinking pattern.
If it were an online surfer from the 21st century, he would probably solve the question of what the third student would buy on the spot.
“Husband, what’s the answer? Hurry up and reveal it. I’m about to die of anxiety.”
Song Huaying, who had always been extremely curious, could not wait to know the answer. Otherwise, she would feel terrible.
Wen Zhiyu was also curious about this and urged, “Husband, quickly reveal the answer.”
Chen Yuejian did not say anything, but from the way she looked at her father, she was probably like her two mothers, eager to know the answer.
“Don’t be anxious. There’s still Little Yi Ke who hasn’t answered.”
Chen An smiled and said.
With the principle of involving everyone in the room, he looked at his second daughter, who was still rolling around on the bed in boredom, and asked her,
“Little Yi Ke, did you hear Daddy’s question just now?”
“I heard you.”
Chen Yi Ke replied as she rolled.
Chen An nudged her with his hand to stop her from rolling around. Then, he asked, “Little Yi Ke, if you were the third student, what would you buy to fill up the private school?”
Chen Yi Ke lay on the bed and supported her small round face with both hands. The two short legs behind her kept swaying as if she had ADHD. She smiled and replied,
“If I’m that third student, I’ll take a small sum of money to the market to buy spirit cakes to eat.”
When they heard their second daughter’s words, her father, mothers, and sister couldn’t help but laugh, saying that she was really a foodie.
However, in the next moment, the silly-looking Chen Yi Ke said something shocking, shocking her father, mother, and sisters until their jaws dropped.
She smacked her lips and couldn’t help but say,
“I will use the money that Sir gave me to buy spirit cakes to eat, but Sir was still waiting in the private school for me to come back. He waited for me for an entire day and didn’t see me come back. In the end, when he found out that I had used the money to buy spirit cakes to eat, Sir’s disappointment immediately filled the entire private school.”
Father:”???’
Mother:”???’
Mother Song:”???”
Sister:”???’
After a moment of realization, Wen Zhiyun picked up her silly daughter and said excitedly,
“My precious daughter is not silly!”
“She’s a genius!”
She’s a genius with great wisdom!”
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
On this day, Chen An learned how to refine all the Level 3 medicinal pill formulas he had bought from the Lu Corporation’s trading company last time.
At the same time, he also refined many medicinal pills to sell and assist his wives and daughters in their cultivation.
With the help of some Level 3 medicinal pills, other than Shen Qingyi who was still stagnant, the cultivation of the other three wives had all increased quite a bit.
Song Huaying’s cultivation level had broken through from the second level to the third level.
Gu Xinyue was the same as her.
As for Wen Zhiyun, she had been in seclusion for nearly ten days. In the end, with the help of dozens of Qi Gathering Pills and her many years of bitter cultivation experience, she successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
That day, the family of seven celebrated in the tunnel for the entire day.
The tiny Chen Yi Ke ate so much at the dining table that she almost vomited.
Wen Zhiyun, on the other hand, was unable to get out of bed because of Chen An. She realized that her husband, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm and was at the Golden Core realm, could easily withstand a blow from her.
Several days passed, Chen An thought of Jiu Ji in the cave.
It had been almost a month since he left.
‘Well, it was time to take a look.’
He thought.
Chen An informed his wives before flying towards Jiu Ji on his sword.
In just a moment, he arrived at the desolate mountain and slowly descended in front of the cave entrance.
He walked in slowly.
He saw Jiu Ji in the deepest part of the cave.
At this moment, Jiu Ji’s mental state was very worrying because she had been trapped in this dark cave for a long time.
Her face was dispirited, and her eyes were listless. She was depressed.
Her appearance was very pitiful.
However, Chen An’s heart did not waver at all. He did not think that she was pitiful.
In terms of pity, those independent Cultivators who had accidentally died in order to survive were much more pitiful than this fox demon.
He could not automatically give so many allowance to this fox demon just because she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Regarding this, Chen An was still relatively rational and calm.
It was not easy to be blinded by beauty.
The reason why he was so resistant to beauty was because of the support of Art of the Sage.
“How do you feel?”
Chen An walked to Jiu Ji’s side and squatted down. He reached out and poked her beautiful face, which had become a little dirty.
Jiu Ji did not seem to notice that Chen An had walked in front of them and squatted down.
When she heard Chen An’s voice, she immediately became excited. She hurriedly sat up and looked at Chen An with tears in her eyes. She begged,
“Young Master, I’m begging you. Can you let me go home?”
“I can swear to the heavens that as long as you’re willing to let me go, I’ll definitely mind my own business from now on!”
“Moreover, when I go back, I ll bring all kinds of treasures to you from Grandma!”
