Becoming Immortal Through Getting Married

Chapter 17: Targeted

[You've used the ultimate technique, 'Goldfinger'. 'Goldfinger' proficiency +1.]

[Goldfinger: Proficient (100/500)]

[Name: Gu Xinyue]

[Attributes: Icy and pure, loyal and unwavering]

[Emotion: 1 star (39/100)]

[Consciousness Strength: 77]

[Proficiency of Goldfinger provided: 33]

"I've finally broken through!"

Chen An could not help but feel excited when he saw the 'Goldfinger''s realm change from Beginner to Proficient.

However, he quickly calmed down and looked down at Gu Xinyue, who was blushing and turning her head slightly to the side. She covered her mouth tightly with her hand and he could not help but reach out to stroke her snow-white hair.

"Yue'er, you don't have to cover your mouth to stop yourself from making a sound. Ying'er sleeps very deeply every day. You won't be able to wake her up with that little commotion of yours."

"…"

Gu Xinyue's face turned red when she heard that. She simply raised her other hand and covered her face. Only the part of her face that was exposed was red and hot.

Who could stand seeing such a shy naked beauty? Wouldn't he turn into a beast and dote on her?

But Chen An held back.

Compared to continuing to be intimate with the cold and charming Gu Xinyue, he wanted to go outside and test the power of the 'Goldfinger' after breaking through.

Soon, Chen An left the room and came to the backyard.

He displayed his 'Goldfinger' with an expectant expression and found that the golden light emitted from his finger had become much brighter than before.

Then, he pointed his finger at a stone ten meters away and shot out the golden light attached to his finger.

In the next second, there was a bang!

The golden light accurately shot onto the stone, instantly piercing through it and cracking it. Even the yellow mud under the stone was shot out into a shallow pit.

So powerful!

The destructive power of this golden light was several times stronger than the pistol in his previous life!

Looking at the palm-sized shallow pit on the ground, Chen An was extremely excited.

He was already so strong in the second realm. What about the third, fourth, or even the fifth realm?

At that time, would the power of the 'Goldfinger' be comparable to the laser cannon in science fiction novels in his previous life? Would it be able to kill enemies accurately from thousands of miles away or even destroy the world?

Just thinking about it made him excited.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the next hour or so, Chen An did not even bother to eat the breakfast that his wife and concubine had specially brought to his mouth. He kept shooting everywhere with his 'Goldfinger'.

On the walls, on the tree trunks, and on the ground… There were holes everywhere.

The two ladies beside him were shocked.

What's going on? The 'Goldfinger' that my husband usually uses to please us is actually such a powerful spell? Who is my husband?

…

After lunch.

Chen An told his wife and concubine about his plan to move to the core area.

His wife and concubine were very surprised, but they were more puzzled and worried.

Core area?

It was said that the rent there was as high as 100 low-grade spirit stones a month. Was this a place that low-level Cultivators like us could afford to live in?

His wife and concubine were puzzled.

It was not until Chen An took out all the 400 low-grade spirit stones he had saved and placed them in front of them, telling them that he would be able to break through to become a first-grade high-level Alchemist in less than four months, that they were enlightened.

In order to celebrate this joyous occasion, Song Huaying's eyes were filled with love as she pulled her husband into the room, wanting to reward him properly.

Seeing this, Gu Xinyue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she blushed and followed them in to celebrate.

After coming out of the room, Chen An immediately went into the alchemy room and began to work overtime to refine pills.

After all, he was about to move to the core area. Before that, he had to earn as many spirit stones as possible.

The more the merrier.

He spent more than four hours refining a pile of pills.

Chen An took out a medicine box and packed all the medicinal pills before carrying them on his back. Then, he informed his wife and concubine before setting off to the market to set up a stall.

When he arrived at the familiar stall, Chen An had just put down the first aid kit and was about to set up the stall when the stall owners beside him started teasing him.

"I say, Alchemist Chen, you've already earned so much some time ago. Why do you still have to come out and be exposed to the elements like us? Isn't it great to rent a shop and open a medicinal shop? Why are you so suicidal?"

"That's right, Alchemist Chen."

"Tsk tsk, if I were Alchemist Chen, I would definitely open a medicine shop in the center of the market and hire a few workers to help take care of it. I would find a few Cultivator companions to stay at home every night."

"…"

In the face of the teasing of his peers, Chen An smiled and waved his hand. "It's all hard-earned money. I can't earn much at all. Some time ago, I almost couldn't even pay the rent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out to set up a stall. I would have stayed at home and lived happily."

When the stall owners heard this, they smiled but did not say anything. They thought to themselves that it would be a miracle if they believed him.

Wealth should not be revealed. Everyone knew that.

In the following period of time, Chen An chatted casually with a few peers at the side as he placed the medicinal pills in the medicine box for sale.

They were all Emotion Severing Pills.

This was because the cost of refining this medicinal pill was low, and there was a high demand in the market. The cost-effectiveness ratio of refining it was extremely high.

"Fellow Cultivator, give me 10 Emotion Severing Pills."

"Fellow Cultivator, I'll buy 20 pills at once. Can you give me a discount?"

"Fellow Cultivator, my daughter is fair-skinned and beautiful. Her figure is exquisite and she doesn't have a companion yet. She stays alone in her room every day. I wonder if this Emotion Severing Pill can help my daughter resolve her loneliness every night?"

"…"

As soon as Chen An set up the stall, customers who were passing by immediately came to buy it.

In just two hours, all the Emotion Severing Pills were sold out.

He had earned about a third of spirit stones.

During this period, several female Cultivators dressed in seductive clothes came up to seduce him. Their words hinted that they wanted to become his companions.

However, Chen An paid no attention to it.

It wasn't that he didn't get close to women, but he knew what women could and couldn't get close to.

After all, the words 'femme fatale' were not randomly thought up.

It was a well-known fact that Alchemists had made a lot of money recently.

Many female Cultivators wanted to find an Alchemist to become companions.

However, in fact, nine out of ten of these female Cultivators who took the initiative to come to him had malicious intentions.

There were very few people who really wanted to find a companion to live a proper life.

Most of them wanted to cheat him of his spirit stones.

After squeezing dry the savings of the foolish Alchemist, she would leave without hesitation and turn to other foolish people to suck blood.

However, the few colleagues at the side were not as clear-headed as Chen An.

He thought that Chen An was a blockhead and didn't understand the female Cultivators' hints. They kept calling him Fellow Cultivator Chen.

At the same time, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, lamenting that Alchemists had been living a good life recently.

All sorts of ways to make big money.

All kinds of female Cultivators threw themselves at him.

It was true that men were afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women were afraid of marrying the wrong man.

If I had chosen to walk the path of alchemy back then, would I be like this now?

At the thought of this, many stall owners were extremely depressed.

Chen An did not want to be infected by them and feel depressed. He quickly packed up his stall and left. He wanted to go home early to train with his wife and concubine.

At this moment, there was a commotion not far ahead.

"Are you done? Why are the people from the Black Iron Manor causing trouble again?"

"It's our fault for being poor. We can only live in the cheap area between the Bamboo Leaves Forest and the Black Iron Manor. It was fine when the two sides minded their own business, but now that we have to fight for the mineral vein resources, how can the other party not cause trouble?"

"We can't even do this business anymore!"

"Damn it, where are the people from the Bamboo Leaf Gang? I've paid them some rental fees. Why are these bastards only taking money and not doing anything?"

"Stop complaining. Let's pack up and leave before those people from the Black Iron Manor come over!"

"…"

Chen An looked in the direction of the commotion.

Then, he saw a group of Cultivators carrying large sabers on their backs swaggering towards the market.

There were a total of nine people. They possessed a great aura as they walked, and they did not hide their cultivation at all.

The leader was a scumbag Cultivator. His cultivation was at the fourth level of Qi Refinement, but his aura was close to the fifth level of Qi Refinement. He was very powerful.

The eight people behind him were all Cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining.

Such a team's strength was enough to sweep through everyone in this market.

After all, only the low-level early-stage Qi Refining Cultivators would go to the market in the cheaper district.

Cultivators in the intermediate stage of the Qi Refining Stage would move to an ordinary area near the core area. As for those in the advanced stage of the Qi Refining Stage, they would directly move to the core area and become guest elders of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Seeing that the Cultivators of the Black Iron Manor were coming aggressively, Chen An knew that they would most likely cause trouble by smashing the stalls. Therefore, without thinking, he immediately carried the first aid kit and left.

However, just as he turned around, a surprised voice from a Cultivator of the Black Iron Villa came from behind him.

"Senior Brother Zhang, look, there's an Alchemist up ahead. We're going to be rich this time!"
