Chapter 8
After dealing with the corpse, Chen An immediately went back to his room to check on his wife.
Yes, just as he had expected, his wife was sleeping soundly on the bed.
After all, he was too tired during the day, so he would inevitably fall into a deep sleep at night and not be easily woken up.
After leaving the room, Chen An went to the bathroom to take a hot bath to get rid of the smell of blood on his body.
He leaned against the wall of the bucket and looked at his ‘Goldfingers’. He still felt that it was unbelievable.
The lethality of this ‘Goldfinger’ was too great.
As long as he was close enough, he would basically kill whoever he poked.
The prerequisite was that the difference in the cultivation realm was not big.
“It’s already so powerful just at the entry level. I wonder how strong this ‘Goldfinger’ will be after breaking through to the proficient realm.”
Chen An was looking forward to this. He wanted to work hard to increase his proficiency from tomorrow onwards.
He wanted to break through as soon as possible and see how powerful it was.
…
The next day.
When Chen An woke up from the bed, he realized that his little wife, who was sleeping together with him, was hugging him like an octopus. Her little face looked like she was sleeping soundly.
The sun was already shining, but she was still sleeping on the bed. She didn’t know how to get up and work.
He had to educate such a lazy little wife.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
[Alchemy Experience+1]
After getting out of bed, Chen An washed up briefly and found something to eat to fill his stomach. Soon, he went to the courtyard to practice.
He poked everywhere, poking at everything he saw.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
During this time, Chen An had poked thousands of holes in the ground, turned the tree trunk into a hornet’s nest, and turned the stones into powder.
However, when he opened the progress bar, he was immediately extremely disappointed.
[Goldfinger: Beginner (3/100)]
He practiced for 13 days in a row, and he practiced 24 hours a day. In the end, he only increased his proficiency by 2 points.
At this speed, how long would it take to break through?
Chen An was extremely worried.
It was only at this moment that he finally understood why the ‘Goldfinger’ spell was so powerful, but it was only sold for 100 low-grade spirit stones.
It was so difficult to cultivate. It would be strange if it was worth anything.
“Forget it, I won’t cultivate it in the future. If I have the time to cultivate this cheat, I might as well cultivate more medicinal pills to earn money. It’s worth it to buy more medicinal pills that can increase my cultivation level.”
Chen An shook his head.
After that, he went back to his room to find his wife to relieve the frustration in his heart.

After an unknown period of time, Chen An turned over and lay flat on the bamboo bed with a satisfied expression.
He did not have to worry about food and drink. He had a house and a wife.
Compared to his previous life, he was so happy in this life that words could not express it.
The only flaw was that this world was rife with danger and was especially unfriendly to low-level Cultivators. It was difficult to guarantee the safety of one’s life.
Yes, he had a small goal. He wanted to break through to the high-level First Level Alchemy Realm as soon as possible.
This way, his income from alchemy would increase greatly, and he should have the ability to move to the core area to live.
He thought that it was better to act.
Chen An immediately put on his clothes and got out of bed. He wanted to go to the alchemy room to refine pills at high intensity.
When he was tired of refining in the bedroom, he would go to the alchemy room to refine. When he was tired of refining in the alchemy room, he would go to the bedroom to refine.
It was a two-pronged process that kept repeating.
This way, his alchemy realm could increase faster.
“Husband, it’s still early. Can we lie down for a while more?”
Seeing that her husband was about to get up and leave, Song Huaying immediately held his arm and said coquettishly.
Chen An felt that there had to be a limit to everything and planned to reject his little wife’s excessive request.
But suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that he had just learned the spell “Goldfinger” not long ago. He could use this spell to show his little wife and divert her attention.
“Ying’er, I’ve recently learned a very powerful spell that can flash with golden light.”
“Husband, what spell is it?”
“I’ll show you now.”
[You cast the ultimate technique, ‘Goldfinger’, on your wife, Song Huaying. In an instant, a golden light flashed in the room, broadening her horizons. Proficiency in ‘Goldfinger’ +1.]
What’s the situation now?
Chen An looked at the notification that suddenly flashed in front of him and could not help but be stunned.
But soon, he could not hide his excitement.
It turned out that this was the correct way to increase the proficiency of the ‘Goldfinger’!
He had really searched high and low for it, only to find it without much effort!
“Husband, I feel like I just saw an immortal from heaven descending to the mortal world. I want to see it again!”
Song Huaying’s small face was red. She was both excited and expectant.
Chen An looked at his wife and then at his fingers. He immediately mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body and golden light flashed again, transforming into an immortal in his wife’s heart.

Time flew by.
A few days later, Chen An sat on the bamboo bed and looked at the notification that popped up in front of him.
[Goldfinger: Beginner (39/100)]
[Alchemy Technique: Intermediate Level 1 (256/500)]
[Wife: Song Huaying]
[Attribute: The gratitude of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring]
[Emotion: 1 star (95/100)]
[Alchemy Experience Provided: 247]
[Proficiency of Goldfinger provided: 36]
“In just a few days, the proficiency of the Goldfinger has increased by 36 points.”
Chen An looked at the proficiency of the ‘Goldfinger’ in the notification. He looked at his two ‘Goldfinger’s and then at his little wife who was lying on the bed with a satisfied expression. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Sometimes, people just lack a little luck.
It was useless to train hard for many days.
But it was useful to be a circus performer for his little wife.
Soon, he looked at the other notifications.
His progress in the Alchemy proficiency was already more than half-way. He would be able to break through in a month or two at most.
His Relationship level was not far from 2 stars. He could level up with another 5 experience points.
The future was promising.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Alchemist Chen, business is here!”
“Big deal!”
When Chen An heard this, he quickly got dressed and got out of bed. He went to the window to discuss business with the guests outside.
It was indeed a big deal.
The other party wanted to refine many medicinal pills.
He estimated that it would take at least an entire day.
Just the processing fee alone was as high as 20 low-grade spirit stones.
“By the way, Alchemist Chen, have you heard? Recently, six Fellow Cultivators have gone missing in our area. One of them is a Cultivator at Level 4 of Qi Refining. Now, none of them are alive or dead. Everyone is panicking.”
The guest outside the window suddenly said.
Chen An said calmly, “Maybe they went out to hunt Blood Demons.”
The guest waved his hand and said, “That’s impossible. Although our place is only a cheap area in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, we still have to register to enter and leave.”
“According to the manager in charge of registration, those six Fellow Cultivators have been staying in the Bamboo Leaf Forest the entire time.”
“Alchemist Chen, I suspect that someone in our area has bad intentions. Perhaps it’s because they can’t afford the rent, so they targeted their own people and committed robbery to silence them.”
As the customer spoke, even he became a little afraid.
Chen An only smiled and did not say anything.
After finalizing the remaining details of the transaction with this customer, he turned around and walked into the alchemy room to begin refining with great intensity to earn money.
…
The next morning.
Chen An stood in front of the window and kept his distance. He received payment from the customer yesterday and delivered the goods at the same time, earning 20 low-grade spirit stones.
Unknowingly, his savings had increased again.
There were a total of 38 low-grade spirit stones.
On average, he could earn about six low-grade spirit stones a day.
Once again, the future was promising.
Chen An put away the 20 low-grade spirit stones, turned around, and walked into the room to find his little wife.
[You gave your wife, Song Huaying, a massage. Feelings +1.]
[You used Goldfinger on your wife, Song Huaying. Goldfinger proficiency +1.]
[You… Alchemy Experience +1.]
[You… Goldfinger proficiency +1.]
[You… Goldfinger proficiency +1.]
[…]
[You praised your wife Song Huaying’s culinary skills for improving greatly. She ate three bowls of white rice in a row. Relationship +1.]
[You… Goldfinger proficiency +1.]
[You… Alchemy Experience +1.]
[…]
The moment their feelings for each other improved, they would accidentally improve for a few days.
That night, Chen An lay on the bed with his wife in his arms. With a thought, he opened his various progress bars.
[Goldfinger: Beginner (55/100)]
[Alchemy Technique: Intermediate Level 1 (286/500)]
[Wife: Song Huaying]
[Attribute: The gratitude of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring]
[Relationship: 2 stars (101/500)]
[Alchemy Experience Provided: 276]
[Proficiency of Goldfinger provided: 52]
“The heavens reward those who work hard. After so many days of hard work, I’ve finally raised my Relationship level to 2 stars.”
Looking at the level behind the Relationship column, Chen An’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
In order to prove that his Relationship level was related to the amount of pill refinement experience he obtained every time he was done, he lowered his head and looked at his little wife who was snuggling in his arms. He said gently:
“Ying’er, let’s go take a bath together later.”
“Yes, I’ll go heat up the water now.”
As Song Huaying spoke, she first gave Chen An a light kiss on the cheek. Then, she immediately got out of bed virtuously and went to the kitchen.
Not long after, the water was ready.
Chen An brought the wooden bucket that had been adjusted to the water temperature into the room. He wanted to sit in the wooden bucket and bathe with his little wife.
After they all went into the bucket, Chen An asked his wife to sit in front of him so that he could rub her back and let her enjoy the wonderful feeling of being served by her lover.
After all, they were husband and wife. They should exchange pleasantries. One party could not serve as a servant alone.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn.
[Alchemy experience +2.]
It was just as he had guessed. When his Relationship level increased to 2 stars, the alchemy experience he obtained after each incident would also increase.
Chen An was still immersed in the joy of successfully proving his guess when a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Wife Song Huaying is giving birth.]
[You have received a copy of the Emotion Severing Pill’s formula.]
