Chapter 12 Desperate
The next day, early morning.
The female nun who lived at the opposite door came to pay back the money early, and settled the low-grade spirit stone owed yesterday.
And gave an extra piece, and bought another bottle of Jieshu Dan to go back.
Looking at the haggard look of this female nun, Chen An estimated that she must have tried to find a way to get money last night, and she was so busy that she stayed up all night.
As for where and how the money was obtained, Chen An didn't care about it, all he knew was that he could make money.
"Husband, it's still early, how about we go back to sleep in the room?"
Song Huaying held Chen An's arm, and she shook her beautiful eyes coquettishly.
When the female cultivator came to pay back the money just now, she looked at him seriously from the sidelines.
It turned out that the other party did not lose to him in terms of appearance or figure.
She felt a great sense of crisis about this, and worried that if the other party really became her husband's concubine in the future, her current status in the family would be lost.
In order to avoid this situation, she thought that before the other party was brought into the house, she had to try her best to please her husband and further improve her status in his mind.
So, in the following days.
Because of Song Huaying's deliberate actions, the life of the husband and wife gradually returned to the same as before pregnancy, and they had to have **** every day.
It’s just that the number of corresponding daily sessions has been reduced by half compared to before, and the process will be more careful and gentle, and pay more attention to mutual spiritual communication.
During the period, the female cultivator who lived opposite the door would come to buy Jieshu Dan every once in a while.
The interval between each time became shorter and shorter, as if her seriously ill father was getting worse, and the need for Jieshu Dan was increasing.
At the beginning, Chen An thought that Jie Shu Dan had side effects that even he didn't know about.
Such as dependence, addiction or something.
As a result, after consulting some information, I learned that the reason for this situation is entirely due to the fire poison patient himself.
It's simply that the fire poison is in the late stage, and then the physical condition declines sharply, and the condition is getting worse day by day.
To put it simply, it is almost the same as the terminal cancer in the previous life.
The body deteriorates day by day until death.
And the current behavior of the female nun is equivalent to giving chemotherapy to her seriously ill father, just asking him to live longer.
Chen An thought about trying to persuade the nun.
Said that if you do this, you will only ruin your own life, and at the same time make your father suffer from illness.
It's better to let your father end the pain as soon as possible, and you don't have to be so tired.
But after thinking about it, the father and daughter have been dependent on each other for so long, and the relationship between them is so deep that it is not up to me, an outsider, to analyze the pros and cons and let people make a choice.
…
The days passed like this day by day.
【Gold Finger: Getting Started (66/100)】
【Alchemy: first-level intermediate (338/500)】
【Wife: Jacaranda Song】
【Attribute: The grace of dripping water, should be repaid by the spring】
【Emotion: 2 stars (299/500)】
【Alchemy experience provided: 320】
【Cheat proficiency provided: 60】
After a glance, the increase is not large.
Chen An put away the data in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the young female cultivator who lived in the opposite door, a first-level Qi refining female cultivator named Gu Xinyue.
He still remembered the words that the other party cried and said that as long as he could save her father, he would be willing to be a concubine.
Now Xiaojiao's wife has been pregnant for almost five months.
In another two months, I have to rest assured to raise a baby and not be able to have sex.
At that time, whether it is the realm of alchemy or the realm of golden fingers, its improvement speed will have to be greatly reduced.
According to this trend, it is somewhat unrealistic to save enough money to move to the core area before the child is born.
After all, from getting married to now, the savings have only been less than 300 low-grade spirit stones.
The only solution at present is to raise the alchemy realm to the first level as soon as possible.
In this way, the income of alchemy can be greatly increased, and it is more than enough to pay the rent of a core area.
For this reason, Chen An had to find another partner who could assist him in his cultivation.
And for this candidate, he just fell in love with Gu Xinyue, a young female cultivator who lives in the opposite door.
One is that the other party is outstanding in appearance and tall, which is in line with his own aesthetics.
Secondly, the other party is young and has not been deeply involved in the world, so it is convenient for future training.
Third, the other party kept his promise. Once he bought the elixir on credit, he would settle it any day he said. He had a strong personality and shouldered the burden of the whole family alone as a woman.
With such a high-quality partner candidate, it would be a pity if there was no way to trick her into the house.
"Hey, let's take one step at a time."
Chen An looked down at Xiaojiao's wife's round belly that had just taken shape, feeling very worried.
The pressure of starting a family is really great, and I am exhausted.
I really miss the unfettered single life in the past.
…
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
Recently, the situation in the cheap area has become more and more chaotic.
Due to the problem of rising rent, there are now a lot of robbery repairs.
It is often heard that so and so was robbed of their wealth, and even their clothes were stripped.
Worse, even after robbing money, they will kill people to silence them, the methods are extremely cruel.
The atmosphere in the whole cheap area is very depressing now.
Unless the strength is guaranteed, many people will generally stay at home behind closed doors.
Some people who are not doing well economically, either directly transform themselves into Jiexiu, or directly move out of the Bamboo Leaf Forest to find another way out.
As for Chen An, he belongs to the type of person who has been staying behind closed doors.
Most of the time is spent in alchemy to make money, and a small part of the time is having fun with the little wife everywhere.
On this day, Chen An had just finished a business order, and was about to go back to the room to find his little wife Wen Cun, when there was an inappropriate knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
With such a familiar voice, you don't need to look to know that it is Gu Xinyue who lives in the opposite door.
came to buy Jieshu Dan for her father.
And this Jieshu Dan has now been renamed Bingjing Dan.
After all, it is a elixir that can sell a low-grade spirit stone for a bottle. The price of Jieshu Dan is too low to deserve the price.
But it’s different when it’s called Bing Jing Dan.
It sounds very high-end, and it can be bought with only a low-grade spirit stone, which feels very affordable.
"Gu Daoyou, 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 spirit stones, threw them to Chen An accurately, and said lightly: "Give me three bottles of ice crystal pills."
This shot is getting more and more bold.
Chen An felt emotional in his heart, and he still didn't forget to joke: "Gu Daoyou, where did you get rich recently? Could it be that you secretly engaged in robbery?"
Gu Xinyue smiled lightly, without speaking, picked up three bottles of ice crystal pills, turned around and walked to her home.
Looking at the slender back of the other party leaving, Chen An felt a little regretful.
I knew that when Gu Xinyue came over crying that day and said that she was willing to be a concubine, I should have taken her down.
It’s hard to win now.
After all, people are not short of money now, they can afford medicine pills and rent a house, so why should they wrong themselves to be a concubine?
But after thinking about it, there is actually nothing to regret.
To put it bluntly, during this period of time, just selling ice crystal pills to Gu Xinyue earned more than 30 low-grade spirit stones.
If he chose to take her as his concubine that day, he would definitely not be able to earn the money.
Even, she had to post Lingshi upside down to see a doctor for her father.
But having said that, where did Gu Xinyue, who was only at the first level of refining Qi, get so many spirit stones?
Is it the big money on the list?
Chen An was puzzled.
…
Unknowingly, some time has passed.
During this period, the situation in the low-cost area of Bamboo Leaf Forest became more and more chaotic.
Many robbery repairs started from blocking roads and robbing money, and gradually developed to the point where they even dare to enter and rob during the day.
Made the whole cheap area panic.
As an alchemist, Chen An has long been a favorite in Jie Xiu's eyes.
Many robbery cultivators paid attention to him and robbed him.
The result is a bit tragic.
All of them failed to rob, but were shot in the head by Chen An with a golden finger, and their property was confiscated after being groped.
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 of the residents were robbed, they either chose to admit defeat and spend money to eliminate the disaster, or they chose to resist, and ended up in a tragic end.
Suddenly, a large number of monks moved out of the bamboo forest and chose to find another way out.
Because there were too many people leaving, and they could only leave and not enter for a long time, the senior management of Bamboo Leaf Forest was in a hurry.
The tenants have all left, who can I find to collect the rent?
Thus, the senior management of Bamboo Leaf Forest began to make up for the loss of money, and arranged for each low-cost area of Bamboo Leaf Forest to be in charge of a late-stage gas refining manager, and equipped a small team composed of several mid-stage Qi refining monks to patrol and jointly manage the chaos in the cheap areas.
Great efforts, remarkable results.
In less than half a month, all cheap districts have returned to their former tranquility.
Everyone dared to go out of the house to do business, and the situation began to flourish.
But compared with half a year ago, it is still much worse.
Because Bamboo Leaf Forest raised prices randomly before, and the security in the later period was serious, the word of mouth collapsed.
Now if you want to return to the previous prosperity, it will take at least a few months or even a year to slowly recover.
…
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
On this day, there was good news in the bamboo leaf forest.
Rents have dropped in cheap areas!
Reverted back to the original one low-grade spirit stone per month!
Because of the pressure from the outside world, Xuan Huangzong, who had previously caused the rampage of blood demons outside due to the mining of spirit stone veins, finally sent people out to clean up the mess.
Sent several Jindan stage experts to take action, and wiped out all the blood demons in less than two days.
Several families are happy and others are sad.
Most people were ruined because of the rampant blood demon, but there were also a small number of people who made a lot of money because of it.
For example, Chen An, who is an alchemist, has earned more than 400 low-grade spirit stones in nearly a year, and his life is much richer than before.
You can make so much money in a year, which was unimaginable before.
Although the blood demon is gone now and alchemy is not so profitable, Chen An doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He already knew that this special period would not last long, and sooner or later someone would take action to solve it.
It can last almost a whole year, which is beyond his expectation.
"Yinger, let's go, go out with my husband to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, have a good time."
Chen An just got up from his young wife, and immediately bowed his head and smiled at her like you know.
Song Huaying's face turned red immediately. She knew that her husband wanted to go out with her to play some wild things. Although she was a little embarrassed, she didn't refuse. Instead, she pursed her lips and agreed, "Your husband will listen to you."
Soon, the husband and wife went out.
After walking a few steps, he ran into Gu Xinyue with a sad face.
Gu Xinyue was going to Chen An's house to tell him some unspeakable things.
This meeting just happened to happen, so he just went up with his head down and his eyes closed, shamelessly begging him:
"Chen Danshi, please accept me as a concubine!"
