3 Immortal Cultivation Is the Only Way

Chen An's eyes lit up when he saw the notification at the bottom.

The higher the level of a couple's relationship, the higher the benefits he would obtain from his young wife?

This system actually have growth potential?

Could it be that his [Relationship] level was now 1-star, which was why his [Alchemy Experience] only increased by 1 point every time?

If he could produce five stars, wouldn't his efficiency increase by five times in the future?

When he thought of this, Chen An was slightly excited.

This setting that could increase his relationship level really poked at him.

As a mobile game enthusiast in his previous life, he liked to work hard on his achievements. That could bring him satisfaction.

"Ying'er, you've walked so far on the mountain road. Your legs must be very sore now, right?"

"I'll boil some water now. I'll give you a foot massage later."

With that, Chen An immediately got up and went to the kitchen, where he skillfully set up a pot to boil.

After boiling the water, he immediately carried it to the room in a wooden bucket and placed it in front of his wife.

"Ying'er, raise your feet. I'll help you take off your shoes."

"Thank you, Husband."

Song Huaying was not pretentious. She obediently raised her feet and listened to her husband obediently.

Gently taking off her embroidered shoes and white socks, Chen An was surprised to find that his little wife's feet were very tempting.

The back of her feet was fair and smooth, and the soles of her feet were pink and rosy. Her toes were small and exquisite, and her entire jade-like feet could be held. She looked exceptionally cute, making people unable to help but touch her.

"Ying'er, is this water too hot?"

Chen An asked gently and considerately as he slowly placed his wife's feet into the water.

Song Huaying shook her head and said shyly, "It's not too hot. The temperature of the water is just right."

When she said this, her entire pretty face was red and hot. She turned slightly to the side, not daring to make eye contact with Chen An.

In this cultivation world, people's thoughts were relatively feudal and simple.

For a woman, her feet were very private and could not be exposed in front of others.

And like Song Huaying now, her feet were being held by Chen An. This made her feel a little embarrassed.

Even though she had just consummated with Chen An, it was still too short a time. She could not avoid the awkward feeling of man and woman being intimate.

However, as a transmigrator, Chen An was not so particular.

Hearing his wife say that the temperature of the water was very suitable, he immediately placed her feet into the water and began to massage them skillfully.

The force was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, causing the little wife to frown from time to time and couldn't help but moan.

[You massaged the feet of your wife, Song Huaying. The relationship between husband and wife +1.]

[Wife: Song Huaying]

[Attribute: The gratitude of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring]

[Emotion: 1 star (1/100)]

[Provided Alchemy Experience: 6]

Looking at the notification that popped up in front of him, Chen An's heart was instantly filled with motivation. He rubbed his wife's feet even harder.

However, in the blink of an eye, half an incense stick of time had passed. The result made him feel a little disappointed.

He kept rubbing, and pressing. The water in the wooden bucket had turned cold, but he still did not see any notifications of the increase in the relationship between husband and wife.

The increase in the level of their relationship was much more difficult than he had imagined.

However, he could feel that his wife's feelings for him had deepened a lot.

Because from her eyes, one could see that the love in them had become even stronger and that progress was not concealed at all.

The progress bar had only increased by one point. It was purely because the system had set too high a standard for the relationship level between husband and wife.

"Looks like it's still a little unrealistic to raise the relationship level to 2 stars in a short period of time."

"It still is a long-term process. Love will develop over time. We can't be too hasty."

Chen An thought to himself and quickly took a piece of cotton cloth to dry his wife's feet.

After she was done, she sat by the bed and hugged him.

After being intimate for a while and feeling satisfied, he reluctantly got up and left the room. He poured out the cold water in the wooden bucket and turned around to walk into the alchemy room.

He came to an inconspicuous corner inside and pried open a green brick on the ground. Chen An took out all his belongings, a total of eight low-grade spirit stones.

Although it was not much, it was the savings he had saved up for two years.

Now, he wanted to use these eight spirit stones to buy medicinal herbs.

He thought that after his wife's body recovered, he would start to crazily increase his alchemy experience and break through to the intermediate level of First Level as soon as possible.

At that time, he would refine all the medicinal herbs he bought into medicinal pills and make a huge profit.

This way, he could successfully resolve the problem of the rent increase.

After a long time, when he accumulated enough money, he might even be able to buy a Dual Cultivation Technique from the Treasure Pavilion to assist in his cultivation and become stronger with his little wife.

After all, a mortal body could not live for long. At most, it would be a skeleton in a hundred years.

Chen An did not want his delicate wife to leave him early. The longer she could live, the better. It would be best if she could stay young forever.

"Ying'er, I'm going out to purchase alchemy ingredients. Stay at home and don't go out."

"Yes, I understand. Husband, you have to be careful when you're outside."

After giving a simple reminder, Chen An quickly walked out of the house under the gaze of his wife.

Along the way, he was very careful.

Even if he had to take a detour, he would take the main road, definitely wouldn't take a shortcut to save time.

As he walked, he observed his surroundings and listened attentively. He was prepared to defend himself at any time.

Because he lived in the cheap district of the Bamboo Leaf Forest.

In the cheaper district, they could only avoid the threat from outside the forest, such as the Blood Demons that destroyed Green Stone Village.

However, personal safety from the dangers from within could not be guaranteed.

Things like fighting, killing, and robbing happened from time to time.

It was similar to the slums in his previous life.

If he wanted to live peacefully, he had to move to the innermost core area.

However, the rent was ridiculously expensive. It cost one mid-grade spirit stone a month, which was equivalent to 100 low-grade spirit stones.

This was not something a low-level Cultivator like Chen An could afford.

Those who could live in the core area were almost all Advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

…

Bamboo Leaf Forest, City Square.

As soon as Chen An walked in, many vendors greeted him.

"Fellow Cultivator Chen, long time no see."

"I heard that Fellow Cultivator Chen has married a beautiful wife. How enviable."

"The path to immortality is difficult. It's a good choice to enjoy more mortal pleasures while we're still young. I have to learn from Fellow Cultivator Chen."

In the face of everyone's teasing, Chen An listened quietly, smiling politely and did not say anything else. He only nodded as a response and quickly walked towards the pharmacy not far away.

The marketplace he was currently in was gradually developed by the rogue Cultivators in the Bamboo Leaf Forest to satisfy their usual trading needs.

Many Cultivators would set up stalls here. Those with better family backgrounds would even open shops for business.

As an Alchemist, Chen An often came to this stall to sell medicinal pills, so he got to know many Cultivators who were also vendors.

Not long after, Chen An arrived at the pharmacy.

As usual, he used his identity as a regular customer to buy a large pile of medicinal herbs at a discount.

While packing the medicinal herbs, he started chatting with the shopkeeper.

As they chatted, they asked about the Blood Demon destruction of the Green Stone City this afternoon.

Later, he learned from the shopkeeper that a sect called the Xuanhuang Sect had discovered a spirit stone mine in a desolate mountain not far from the Bamboo Leaf Forest.

When they were mining, they accidentally dug into the nest of the Blood Demons, causing a large group of Blood Demons to be homeless.

At this point, the shopkeeper could not help but condemn.

He scolded the Xuanhuang Sect for not being human and letting out such a large group of Blood Demons, causing several surrounding cities to be destroyed, indirectly cutting off a lot of his business.

Chen An was also a little angry when he heard this, but he was more helpless.

The mortals in this world were really unlucky. No one cared if they were dead or alive. This made him, who had transmigrated from a civilized society, feel a little sad.

"Fellow Cultivator Chen, I have an opportunity to earn extra money. Are you interested?"

The shopkeeper, who had been cursing just now, suddenly looked at Chen An and said with a smile.

"What opportunity?"

Chen An knew that there was no such thing as a free meal. He was just trying to satisfy his curiosity.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "There are Blood Demons everywhere outside now. Although it's a disaster for mortals, it's actually an opportunity for Cultivators like us."

"As far as I know, many Cultivators in the Bamboo Leaf Forest have already formed teams to hunt Blood Demons."

"Killing one will earn you at least 10 low-grade spirit stones. This is much faster than staying at home and working hard to refine pills."

"Fellow Cultivator Chen, if you also have the idea of hunting Blood Demons, I can recommend a team to you, but I will need to collect a referral fee."

When Chen An heard this, he smiled and declined politely. "I haven't thought of anything yet. When I make a decision, I'll definitely come to you for a recommendation."

After all, he had the system now. He would lay low if he could. There was no need to take the risk to earn money.
