"Phew~"

The next morning, at dawn, Chen An sat on a cotton mat in the woodshed and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. A gratified smile appeared on his face.

After training hard for the entire night, he finally broke through his divine sense.

After calming himself down, Chen An closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes brought about by the breakthrough of his divine sense.

His hearing had become stronger.

From more than ten meters away, through two thick wooden doors, he could still hear Song Huaying talking in her sleep in the room. She was mumbling 'husband'. Her voice sounded groggy and full of sleepiness and love.

His sense of smell had also become stronger.

With just a light breath of air, dozens of smells could be subdivided from it, and the source of each smell could be accurately tracked.

He slowly opened his eyes and realized that his vision had also improved greatly.

Through the window, he could easily see the mosquitoes a hundred meters away. He could even see every strand of hair on their legs.

At the same time, his concentration, reaction speed, brain function… and various other abilities had become stronger.

Chen An stood up and walked to the window. He stopped and released a golden light at a mosquito that was dozens of meters away from him.

In the next second, the golden light accurately shot the mosquito, turning it into ashes.

Well, he shot even more accurately.

Chen An was slightly excited. He did not expect the breakthrough of his divine sense to bring about so many enhancements.

"Husband, I want to drink water~"

Gu Xinyue, who had never been good at expressing her emotions, suddenly said in a delicate voice.

Chen An was a little surprised.

After spending so many days and nights in bed, this was the first time he had seen his icy concubine acting coquettishly.

Although it was just a little coquettish, it was really unbelievable.

"I'll get you some water now."

Chen An touched Gu Xinyue's pretty face and said. After saying that, he got up and walked out of the woodshed to pour water for her.

He knew that Gu Xinyue wanted to experience the feeling of being doted on by her husband and was very happy to satisfy her small request.

[You poured water for your wife, Gu Xinyue, and made her feel strong love. Couple relationship +1.]

…

After breakfast, Chen An reminded his wives and concubine to stay at home and not go out.

After saying that, he brought more than 100 low-grade spirit stones and went to look for Steward Zhang to look after the house.

A moment later, as soon as the two of them met, Chen An raised his hand and gave five low-grade spirit stones to Steward Zhang, saying that it was a little hard work for him to bring him to see the house.

Steward Zhang said that there was no need. He said that this was his duty in the first place and that this was what he was in charge of.

However, after saying that, he still accepted the five low-grade spirit stones with a smile. He thought to himself that Chen An was really a good person. He knew the ways of the world and was worth befriending.

Soon, the two of them set off.

The cheaper district where Chen An was located was a little far from the core district. It was about 20 miles away.

Fortunately, the two of them were Cultivators, so their speed was dozens of times faster than ordinary people.

In less than 15 minutes, they successfully arrived at the core area.

"Is this Alchemist Chen's first time in the core area?"

"Yes, it's my first time here."

"Then before we look at the house, I'll bring you around the market first. It won't take much time."

"Thank you, Steward Zhang."

"Alchemist Chen, you're treating me like an outsider."

Steward Zhang said with a smile. Chen An also smiled and appeared very friendly.

He recalled how the other party had come to collect the rent and he had opened the door a little slower. Then, the other party had not given him a good look at all. Compared to how the other party had accepted his 5 low-grade spirit stones as compensation and smiled the entire time, he could only say that it was good to be rich.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the market in the core area and strolled around.

A three-storey women's accessory shop.

A four-storey pharmacy.

A five-storey brothel…

Along the way, Chen An saw many majestic buildings.

Compared to the marketplaces in the cheaper districts, the marketplaces in the core districts were very prosperous and made people yearn for them.

"Alchemist Chen, how's the market here? Is it much more colorful than the cheaper district?"

Steward Zhang said with a smile.

It was indeed abundant, but it was far inferior to the metropolis filled with tall buildings in his previous life…

Chen An thought about it and nodded calmly. "It's indeed much more prosperous and popular."

Seeing that he didn't show any signs of being surprised by a country bumpkin entering the city, Steward Zhang couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He thought to himself that this Alchemist Chen was indeed not ordinary. His temperament was much more stable than ordinary people.

Then, he said to him, "When we move to the core area tomorrow, Alchemist Chen can bring his wife and concubine to the market when you're free. There are guards patrolling the core area regularly, so it's relatively safe. Generally, no one will cause trouble."

Chen An smiled and said, "It's worth it."

Steward Zhang laughed and said, "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to charge you as much as 100 low-grade spirit stones a month."

At this moment, Chen An finally understood how valuable a safe and secure residence could be in this unsafe cultivation world.

The two of them continued to shop.

All along the way, Chen An would stealthily sense the cultivation of every single Cultivator that walked over.

Although most of them were at the early Qi Refining stage, their average cultivation was much higher than the cheaper district.

First of all, it was very common to not see a single Cultivator at the intermediate stage of Qi Refining in the cheaper district.

He had even encountered eight advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivators along the way.

And this was still perceivable.

Those that he did not sense were probably no less than eight.

Seeing that they were almost done shopping, Steward Zhang brought Chen An to look at the house.

After looking at more than ten houses in a row, Chen An finally chose a house that was relatively remote but occupied a much larger area.

There were three bedrooms and one living room, two courtyards, and a kitchen and toilet.

"Alchemist Chen, are you sure you want to choose this house?"

Steward Zhang advised, "Although this house is relatively big, it's quite far from the market. I don't recommend this."

It was good that it was big. In the future, there will be more people living here…

Chen An smiled and said, "Personally, I prefer this house. I'll take it."

Seeing that he insisted on renting this place, Steward Zhang did not persuade him anymore and began the procedures.

It took almost an hour for all the procedures to be completed.

Steward Zhang handed the key to the house to Chen An. He suddenly thought of something and reminded him:

"By the way, Alchemist Chen, the person living next door to you is a female Cultivator. She's a little difficult to get along with. There's no need to specially build a good relationship with her. Just pretend that she doesn't exist."

"I see. Thank you for your reminder, Steward Zhang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An said, "Steward Zhang, I might have to trouble you with something."

"Alchemist Chen, feel free to speak."

"It's like this. I plan to bring my wife and concubine here after lunch tomorrow. On the way here, I want to ask you to escort me."

As he spoke, Chen An sensibly took out 10 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Steward Zhang. He smiled and said, "It's just a small fee. Steward Zhang, please don't mind it."

"It's just an escort. It's just a small matter. You don't have to give me 10 spirit stones. Just give me one."

Steward Zhang took one of the low-grade spirit stones as a gesture. His intention to befriend Chen An was very obvious.

Chen An was also happy to befriend such an advanced-stage Qi Refining Cultivator, so he didn't stand on ceremony with him.

After chatting for a while, Steward Zhang said that he had something to deal with here, so he bade farewell to Chen An and left.

Chen An had nothing to do here. He planned to go back to the cheaper district and pack the luggage he would take with him tomorrow with his wife and concubine.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him.

She looked to be in her early thirties and had a dignified and noble appearance. Her figure was graceful and graceful, like a ripe peach. Her entire body exuded the aura of a charming mature woman.

When she saw Chen An sizing her up, the beautiful woman immediately glared at him and scolded, "What are you looking at? If you continue looking at me, I'll dig out your eyes!"

After cursing, she quickly walked past Chen An and walked into the house next door. She slammed the door shut.

'So this is my rather difficult neighbor?'

Wasn't this figure a little too much? Wasn't this face a little too good-looking?

He recalled the beautiful woman's charming appearance when she walked past him just now.

Chen An felt that a kind person like him would definitely be able to get along well with all kinds of people.

No matter how difficult it was to get along with a female neighbor, he could still get along well with her.
