46: Chapter 47 Enemy

"Husband, shouldn't we wait a few more years before having another child?"

Lu Fushuang was somewhat speechless; she wanted to achieve a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 11 as soon as possible, and the past year or so had been wasted in vain.

"Let's talk after one more child."

Chen Fan smiled faintly. His goal was very clear: to produce descendants with high-quality Spiritual Roots.

Qin Xuan was also not spared. After learning from her father that the Grand Elder had politely declined the request, her state of mind had settled down significantly, and she was eager to have more children quickly.

Over the next three months, Chen Fan was quite busy. Besides his constant cultivation, he was exceptionally diligent in Alchemy and Cultivation.

Leaving to establish his own Family was only a matter of time. Even if it meant offending the Qin Family, it had to be done. Once his Realm improved, he would definitely go out and make his mark.

Of course, good things happened one after another during this period.

First, his two wives, Qin Xuan and Lu Fushuang, were pregnant again. Thinking of how the children born last time all possessed high-quality Spiritual Roots, he felt very expectant.

Secondly, regarding his Cultivation, every step up in the Late-stage Qi Refining was extremely difficult, but for Chen Fan, this was quite easy.

Because after spending time with Shen Yueyao many times, that layer of shackles had finally loosened significantly, like a crumbling earthen wall.

In the future, he would only need to Cultivate normally and take Medicinal Pills to succeed in one go.

Now, Shen Yueyao was increasingly dependent on Chen Fan. Currently, she lived in luxury, with top-tier food and lodging, completely different from her previous poverty.

Xue Wentian of the Treasure Pavilion knew their relationship was extraordinary and very generously changed Shen Yueyao's position.

That was to do some simple bookkeeping in the shop, without needing to show her face in public.

Yet even so, she was still a bit unhappy. She discovered that after these few months, her belly had not grown.

"If only I could have a child for Big Brother Chen, how wonderful that would be." Shen Yueyao touched her flat abdomen, full of expectation.

Without a child, it meant instability, meaning these comfortable days would be hard to maintain. Just as she felt lost, a familiar aura and footsteps slowly approached.

"Big Brother Chen, you are here." Shen Yueyao hurried to welcome him, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Chen Fan smiled faintly and took out the food he had bought.

Before long, the table was filled with various Spirit Fish, Spirit Wine, and Spirit Meat.

"Come, let's have a drink."

Chen Fan did not harbor any disdain because she was currently of little help to his Cultivation; on the contrary, he doted on her even more.

Shen Yueyao was indeed different from the average female cultivator receptionist; with just a slight improvement in her living conditions, she was very content.

Moreover, in the trading firm, she could always hear various news, such as the movements of the three major Foundation Establishment Families and their affiliated Qi Refining Families, as well as new shops opening in the market.

This information was crucial to Chen Fan. If he wanted to establish a Qi Refining Family and seize a Spirit Vein, the most important first step was to see clearly the intricate relationships of the cultivation world.

After downing a cup of Spirit Wine, Shen Yueyao's face flushed slightly. It was clear that because her Realm was relatively low, she could not refine it in time, but it only made her look more charming.

After the storm, Chen Fan headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Cooperating with a large trading firm was very simple; one only needed to control the success rate at fifty percent.

Currently, his real success rate was one hundred percent, meaning the Materials were not wasted at all; instead, there was extra income.

These surplus Medicinal Pills either became items for daily Cultivation or were sold at other trading firms.

When collecting the next batch of Medicinal Pills, Xue Wentian put forward a new request: he wanted higher quality Medicinal Pills and hoped he could refine a batch of six-pattern Medicinal Pills for Late-stage Qi Refining.

"Sure." Chen Fan did not haggle at all and agreed readily.

Just as he had left the shop, he did not notice a pair of sharp eyes on the second floor.

"Young Miss, this is that Alchemist." Xue Wentian's expression was very respectful.

"This person is quite interesting. Although he used a Cultivation Technique to conceal his aura, his cultivation should be at Qi Refining Level 10."

"Only Qi Refining Level 10?" Xue Wentian was slightly surprised. Judging from the quality of the Medicinal Pills refined in the past, it would be impossible to refine them without profound magic power.

"Next time he can refine six-pattern Medicinal Pills, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Young Miss." Xue Wentian bowed and saluted again.

Chen Fan, as before, circled the market and headed towards the newly opened shops.

Just like that, selling a little at a time, he gradually sold off the surplus Medicinal Pills in his hands.

However, as fate would have it, just as he was passing by the Su Family Shop, an old man cast a sharp gaze.

"It's him?"

The one with a shocked expression was Deacon Su Changhe. Although the person who just walked by was wearing a black robe, he recognized him at a glance.

"Brat, I've finally found you. It wasn't in vain that this old man has been keeping watch here every day."

"Deacon Su, can you be sure it's that person?" Su Yan asked cautiously.

"Absolutely certain." Deacon Su Changhe muttered, concealed his aura, and followed quietly.

Chen Fan was extremely cautious. After circling the market, he began to buy various foods. Just as he was carefully selecting Spirit Fish, he suddenly noticed a strange figure not far away.

This person was also wearing a wide black robe and a bamboo hat, also buying food, but his gaze kept drifting over inadvertently.

Chen Fan frowned slightly. After buying the Spirit Fish, he headed towards other shops.

The other party followed step by step, refusing to let go.

"Interesting, but I don't know who this person is." Chen Fan smiled coldly.

After buying everything, he unhurriedly headed towards the outskirts of the market.

When he reached a deserted and remote place, Chen Fan slowly turned back and said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist, you've had a hard journey. Please show yourself."

"Good brat, so you discovered me long ago."

Deacon Su Changhe no longer concealed his figure, took off his heavy bamboo hat, and looked furious.

At this moment, four Disciples wearing Su Family attire slowly walked out from behind him.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Su. It seems you are still thinking about those few bottles of Medicinal Pills, but I have no interest in your Su Family."

"Damned ignorant junior, you caused me to be punished by the Family. Today I must take you back." Deacon Su Changhe patted his Storage Pouch and summoned a large golden-threaded net.

Seeing the other party's furious expression, Chen Fan found it amusing.

He was now at Qi Refining Level 10 and was not afraid of the other party at all.

Just as the opponent attacked, his face darkened slightly, his pupils shrank, and he immediately unleashed the Primary Spiritual Sense Attack rewarded by the System.

The effect was obvious; Deacon Su Changhe felt a splitting headache.

"Damn it, what kind of secret technique did you use?"

In his panic, Deacon Su Changhe hurriedly cast a protective shield.

Seizing this golden opportunity, Chen Fan suddenly summoned his Medium Grade Flying Sword.

With a "whoosh" sound, it attacked him at an extremely fast speed.

"Bang!"

After a loud noise, Deacon Su Changhe's protective shield was instantly shattered.

And the powerful sword momentum made him retreat repeatedly.

"Brat, what exactly is your Realm?"

Reacting, Deacon Su Changhe's face showed a look of horror.

Just when he was preparing to summon his Magical Artifact again, he saw countless Talismans whistling towards him.
