Chapter 107: Sword Flight Technique

Hundred Herbs Alley, marketplace.
Chen An walked around and realized that there were very few storefronts here.
They were basically all street stalls.
At a glance, there were just a little more than the core area of the Bamboo Leaf Forest.
It was very difficult to buy good techniques or pill formulas.
“Looks like I have to ask the market on Willow Street.”
Chen An thought to himself.
Before heading to Willow Street, he first bought a large pile of supplies in Hundred Herbs Alley.
There were spirit vegetable seeds. There were spirit chickens. There were spirit fish and fish seedlings.
After special treatment, they could be directly stored in the storage bag. It was very convenient.
When he took out his storage bag, Chen An noticed the vendors in Hundred Herbs Alley. The attitude on his face instantly became more enthusiastic, like they were trying to please him.
Regarding this, he thought for a moment. It should be because the storage bag represented a status symbol.
Cultivators who could afford storage bags were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As for the vendors in Hundred Herbs Alley, they were basically loose Cultivators at the late-stage of the Qi Refining realm. When they faced Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they would instinctively curry favor.
He left the market in Hundred Herbs Alley once he was done before arriving at the market on Wen Liu Street.
Chen An casually turned around and walked into a three-story building called the “Qin Trading Company.”
He took a look and saw that there were not many people inside.
However, they were all rich and noble.
Other than a few female Cultivators and children, be it guests or employees of the trading company, they were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
In the past, when he was in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, he would always address Foundation Establishment Cultivators as Almighties.
Now that he had come to the Redwood Forest, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were everywhere like dogs.
This comparison was really lamentable.
“Fellow Cultivator, how can i help you?
Chen An only stood at the door and watched for a moment. Soon, a female Cultivator with a good figure and appearance walked up and asked.
This was an employee of the trading company. Her attitude was very good, and her smile was very sweet, without a trace of arrogance.
However, she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Chen An thought that this Qin Trading Company was most likely the shop of a certain Golden Core family.
As for the female employee in front of him, she was a descendant of this family and was in charge of managing this trading company.
As he thought about it, Chen An looked at the female employee and rejected her politely with a polite smile. “No need. I’ll take a look myself first.”
“Fellow Cultivator, if you need anything, you can call out to me at the counter at any time.”
After saying this, the female employee left politely and did not disturb Chen An anymore.
In the following period of time, Chen An walked around the trading company alone.
He bought some array formations, techniques, and pill formulas.
He bought five sets of the voice transmission talisman and spent a medium-grade spirit stone.
He bought one ‘Soundproof Array’ and spent five medium-grade spirit stones.
He bought one book of the ‘Flying Sword Technique’ and spent 10 medium-grade spirit stones.
He bought one ‘Breath Control Technique’ book and spent one medium-grade spirit stone.
He bought one ‘Shadow Kill Technique’ and one high-grade spirit stone.
He bought one Small Revitalizing Pill formula and spent 20 medium-grade spirit stones.
He seemed to have bought a lot, but it did not cost much. He did not even need to spend two high-grade spirit stones.
Chen An did not even blink as he took out his money to buy it.
He had no choice. He was too rich now. A fortune made from killing.
Fortunately, the people he killed were all evil people who bore a grudge against him.
This money was well-deserving to be his.
As he was too generous, several female Cultivators in the trading company wanted to get to know Chen An.
However, he did not have any thoughts to entertain such overly proactive female Cultivators.
He politely declined. Soon, he left this Qin family’s trading company.
Hundred Herbs Alley, at home.
When Chen An returned home, it was still early in the day. The sky was still bright.
Chen Yuejian, who was practicing drawing Qi into her body in the courtyard, immediately ran over when she saw her father return. She called out in a child-like voice, “Father!”
Chen An understood everything. With a thought, he took out a box of pastries from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Yuejian.
“Thank you, Father!”
“It’s not enough to just thank me. You have to kiss Daddy.”
“Mua!”
Chen Yuejian kissed him very hard. Chen An revealed a gratified smile that only a father could have.
After that, he went to his three wives and gave them a gift.
It was an accessory, a small spiritual anklet. It was made of spirit stones and some gems.
Not only was it beautiful, but it was also practical.
It was said that wearing it could heal the body and mind.
However, Chen An was not interested in this. He was interested in the crisp sound that the spiritual anklet would make when it jingled.
When the time came, they would wear it on their feet and be in love with his wives while listening to the sound of the spiritual anklet jingling. He felt that it would definitely be indescribably wonderful.
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, this is for you.”
Chen An bought a total of four spiritual anklets. After giving them to his three wives, he gave the last one to Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi was a little surprised. “Alchemist Chen, there’s one for me too?”
Chen An smiled and said, “I’m still counting on Fellow Cultivator Shen to come and look after my house more often in the future. I have to please you.”
Shen Qingyi waved her hand. “Alchemist Chen, you’re my savior. It’s only right that I help you. I can’t take your reward.”
“This is not a reward. It’s just a small gift between friends. Fellow Cultivator Shen, please accept it.”
“Well…”
“If you feel bad, you can return the favor in the future.”
“Then I’ll take it.”
Shen Qingyi was convinced by Chen An and accepted the spiritual anklet he gave her.
The three wives at the side knew very well that this was not a small gift between friends. He had clearly started to treat Shen Qingyi as a wife. He did not have good intentions.
That was indeed what Chen An thought. His three wives had guessed correctly.
However, Shen Qingyi was too slow when it came to romantic pursuits. She even thought that this was just a gift between friends and did not think that Chen An was flirting with her.
In the following period of time, seeing that it was about time, the wives went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Chen Yuejian wanted to follow her in, but Wen Zhiyun chased her out.
Wen Zhiyun wanted her to stay in the courtyard and practice drawing Qi into her body so that she could successfully gather Qi as soon as possible.
As for Chen An and Shen Qingyi, they were fiddling with how the Soundproof Array was set up and how to operate it.
The two of them studied it together for almost an hour and finally successfully set it up.
The coverage was perfect. It stuck to the courtyard wall and enveloped the entire house.
Chen An could not wait to test it. He was outside while Shen Qingyi was inside.
Shen Qingyi shouted from inside, but he couldn’t hear her from outside.
He shouted outside, but Shen Qingyi, who was inside, could not hear him either.
The effect was obvious. It was completely soundproof.
Chen An was a little excited. He thought that no matter how big a commotion he caused with his wives at home in the future, he would not be afraid of being heard by outsiders.
After testing the soundproof array, Chen An quickly returned to the courtyard.
He arranged the spiritual plant seeds, spirit chicks, and spirit fishes he had bought in the courtyard.
All the spiritual plant seeds were planted in the vegetable garden in the backyard.
The spirit chicks were raised in the chicken coop in the backyard.
The spirit fishes were raised in a small pond in the front yard.
“Alchemist Chen is really multi-talented. I feel like he knows everything. I’m ashamed of my inferiority.”
Seeing that Chen An was so familiar with this housework, Shen Qingyi was sincerely impressed and could not help but praise him.
Chen An smiled humbly and said, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, you’re too kind. It’s just that everyone has their own specialties. Look at how familiar 1 am with this, but can you believe that 1 don’t even know how to fly on a sword?”
“Alchemist Chen doesn’t know how to fly on a sword?”
Shen Qingyi was surprised and thought that she had heard wrongly.
One had to know that Chen An had almost wiped out the Bamboo Leaf Gang that day. How could such a powerful Cultivator not know how to fly on a sword?
Was this for real?
Seeing that Shen Qingyi did not believe him, Chen An took out the book he had just bought from his storage bag and placed it in front of her.
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’m really not lying to you. I really don’t know how to fly on a sword.”
“Look, I just bought this ‘Flying Sword Technique’ in the market. It’s very new.”
Shen Qingyi did not say anything. She took a closer look and realized that it was really as Chen An had said. He had just bought this book.
She felt that it was a waste and could not help but say to Chen An, “Alchemist Chen, if you want to learn how to fly on a sword, you can just ask me. Why do you have to specially buy books?”
Chen An looked like he had suffered a huge loss. “I didn’t think too much about it for a while and bought it. No, I have to take it back tomorrow and return it. Anyway, it hasn’t been opened yet.”
Then, he said to Shen Qingyi, “Then… Fellow Cultivator Shen, do you have time to teach me how to fly on a sword?”
“Of course.”
Shen Qingyi said readily, “It’s not difficult to fly on a sword. There’s no technique to speak of. As long as your cultivation level reaches the Foundation Establishment stage and you have enough spiritual power to control it, you can learn it within an hour.”
“That fast?”
It was Chen An’s turn to be surprised.
Shen Qingyi nodded. “Yes, it was that fast.”
Chen An still found it unbelievable. He could not help but raise his doubts. “Then why is the ‘Flying Sword Technique’ sold at such a high price?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Shen Qingyi shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know. She used to be a sect disciple, so she didn’t need to buy techniques to be taught.
Upon hearing this, Chen An felt that he had suffered a huge loss. He had to return this ‘Flying Sword Technique’ tomorrow..
