Chapter 111: Shen Qingyi Shows Her Cards

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside the house, the windows doors were tightly shut.

Chen An, Shen Qingyi, and his wife and daughter were all sitting in the hall.

The room was silent. It was a mess outside the house.

The entire alley was filled with Thousand Devouring Insects.

Wherever it went, not a blade of grass survived.

In the room, Chen An looked at a transparent glass bottle on the table.

The bottle contained a pitch-black worm.

This was a Thousand Devouring Insect that he had just taken the risk to capture not far from the courtyard door.

This insect’s mouth was filled with blood stained fangs, and it had two lampshade-like eyes on its head. It had black and thick wings on its back, and its legs were filled with sharp spikes. It looked a little like a locust in his previous life.

The only difference was that this Thousand Devouring Insect was very huge, as big as a fist.

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, what kind of existence is this?”

Chen An observed the worm in the bottle for a moment and raised his head to ask Shen Qingyi, who was sitting opposite him.

Shen Qingyi explained, “As the name suggests, the Thousand Devouring Insect is a demonic insect that eats everything in its path. Whether it’s flesh and blood or a spirit body, as long as it can be eaten, it can eat everything.”

“The most terrifying thing about these demonic insects is that they reproduce extremely quickly and are extremely adaptable. Usually, when they appear, there will be tens of thousands of them. Wherever they go, nothing survives”

“Although these demonic insects’ cultivation levels are not high, most of them are at the Qi Refinement Stage and a few are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, there are too many of them. Even Cultivators at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage have to close their doors and not come out when they encounter them. Otherwise, they will definitely be eaten until only their bones are left.”

Even late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were helpless?

Chen An was shocked. Then, his expression turned solemn.

However, soon, his expression eased and he said with a look of relief: “Fortunately, when I went to the Qin Trading Company to refund, 1 bought two books of protection arrays at the same time. They can block all living beings below the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

No matter how terrifying the insects outside are, as long as we don’t go out, we should be fine.”

Song Huaying was originally a little worried, but after hearing Chen An’s words, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. “Husband has foresight.”

“Alchemist Chen indeed has foresight.”

Shen Qingyi nodded in agreement. Then, she looked at Chen An and asked, “Alchemist Chen, the Thousand Devouring Insects are wreaking havoc outside. 1 might need to stay at your house for a period of time. Of course, I’ll pay the rent. 1 wonder if Alchemist Chen agrees?”

Given the current situation outside, even experts at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm could not leave the house. Shen Qingyi, who was only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm, could only stay at Chen An’s house for the time being.

Although Chen An would definitely agree, she still had to ask out of courtesy.

Chen An smiled and said, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, we’re old acquaintances. It’s too polite to talk about rent. If you really feel bad, you can teach me techniques. 1 don’t know many basic techniques.”

“Then let’s do as Alchemist Chen says.”

Shen Qingyi replied with a smile.

She was very poor now. Chen An’s suggestion was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing that Shen Qingyi was going to stay at home, Song Huaying happily went forward and held her arm. She said sweetly, “Sister Shen, let’s go. I’ll bring you to choose a room and tidy it up for you.”

“Sorry to trouble you, Ying’er.”

She was not as reserved as ordinary women. She stood up and followed Song Huaying to choose a room.

Just like that, Shen Qingyi stayed at the Chen An family’s house.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

In Song Huaying’s room, Chen An gently removed his wife’s slender legs from his waist and his gaze landed on the notification in front of him.

“Ying’er can do it. You’ve improved quite a bit.”

Chen An looked at the notification in front of him and then at his wife beside him. He could not help but smile in relief.

After covering his wife with a better blanket, he quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed to wash up. He planned to make some food before going to the alchemy room to learn how to refine the Small Revitalizing Pill.

When he passed by the kitchen, he saw that Gu Xinyue was already busy inside.

“Husband, breakfast will be ready soon. I’ll send it to you later.”

Sensing Chen An at the door, Gu Xinyue turned around and smiled at him.

Her smile was very natural and no longer as cold as before.

Chen An was a little mesmerized. Without saying a word, he went forward and pulled her into his arms.

“Husband?”

“Come, I’ll feed you breakfast.”

After half an incense stick of time.

[Goldfinger Proficiency +4] x2

He left the kitchen for the alchemy room.

Chen An took out a pile of medicinal ingredients to refine the Small Revitalizing Pill from his storage bag and began to learn how to refine it.

This learning lasted for almost an entire day.

He skipped lunch. And he skipped dinner.

After learning that his wives and daughter were asleep, Chen An stood up from the alchemy furnace and looked at the freshly produced Small Revitalizing Pill in his hand. His face was filled with a smile.

He practiced for the entire day.

It took a lot of effort. He had finally learned how to refine this Small Revitalizing Pill!

From today onwards, his income would at least double in the future.

Chen An calmed himself down and took out a book from his storage bag.

He had already learned how to refine the Small Revitalizing Pill.

It was time to learn the techniques bought from the Qin family’s trading company.

The ‘Breath Control Technique’ was very simple.

In less than an hour, Chen An had successfully mastered it. It was fine as long as he did.

Using the ‘Breath Control Technique’, not only could he hide his cultivation, but he could also hide all his aura.

It was a necessary technique.

He left the alchemy room to go to the bathroom.

Chen An took a comfortable shower and turned around to walk into Gu Xinyue’s room to rest.

He had slept with his wife last night.

Then it would be the icy concubine’s turn today.

As for the arrogant concubine, he could only wait for two months.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.

[Goldfinger Proficiency +4] x8

Chen An glanced at the notification and then at Gu Xinyue, who was already sleeping on her side. He couldn’t help but smile in his heart. “Things are different now. The ice queen is getting more and more feminine.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but kiss the sleeping Gu Xinyue. Then, he left the room with a satisfied expression.

It was late at night. So deep into the night that nobody was awake.

It was a good time to cultivate techniques.

Chen An carried an oil lamp to the hall and used the light to create a pile of shadows.

Then, he began to work hard to learn the ‘Shadow Kill Technique’.

The ‘Shadow Kill Technique’ was also bought from the Qin Trading Company. It was an extremely strange technique.

Once he learned it, he could freely jump around in the shadows of various living beings.

For example, if a person walked under the sun and a shadow appeared under the sunlight, even if this person was far away, more than a hundred meters away, the caster could instantly disappear on the spot. In the next second, he could crawl out of this person’s shadow and give a fatal blow.

In short, it was a technique with an extreme sneak attack function.

Unknowingly, four hours passed.

The sky was a little bright.

Chen An had finally mastered the ‘Shadow Kill Technique’. His face was filled with a gratified smile.

He thought that although his cultivation aptitude was not good, his comprehension was really high.

No matter what he learned, he could basically master it quickly.

Creak

The sound of the door opening came from the bedroom.

Chen An thought that Gu Xinyue had woken up early to make breakfast again, so he walked towards her room.

He advised her not to wake up so early and to sleep in a little more.

However, when she walked over, he realized that it wasn’t Gu Xinyue who had woken up and pushed open the door. It was Shen Qingyi, who was next door.

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, you’re up so early.”

“I didn’t sleep last night. I just finished cultivating and closed my eyes to rest for a moment.”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen is really hard working. No wonder you’re already a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator at such a young age.”

On the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you’ll fall behind. You have to work hard.”

“True.”

Chen An nodded and said, “By the way, Fellow Cultivator Shen, I have something to ask of you.”

“What is it?”

“I want to experiment with a technique I just learned with you.”

“Sure, but I wonder what technique Alchemist Chen wants to test?”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, have you heard of the ‘Shadow Kill Technique’?”

“No.”

Shen Qingyi shook her head.

There were thousands of cultivation techniques and techniques in the world. Unless someone had deliberately studied them, it was impossible for a person to have heard of all of them.

Chen An smiled and said, “That’s a good opportunity for Fellow Cultivator Shen to see this technique.”

After saying that, he brought Shen Qingyi to the hall.

He closed the door and window. He relit the oil lamp.

It caused the entire hall to return to darkness. It was enveloped by the flames and formed shadows.

“Alchemist Chen, what are you doing?”

“Creating conditions for the technique.”

“The conditions for casting technique?”

Shen Qingyi was a little confused. This technique sounded a little useless, and the conditions for release were too restrictive.

Chen An pulled a few meters away from Shen Qingyi and said to her, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’ll rush to your side and attack you later. Try your best to block me.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Shen Qingyi nodded, and her senses were instantly heightened.

Seeing that she was ready, Chen An immediately used the technique on her.

Then, in the next second, he instantly disappeared from the spot!

Shen Qingyi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Then, before she could react, Chen An had already crawled out of the shadow behind her and placed his hand on her snow-white neck like a knife.

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, I’m done with the experiment.”

As Chen An spoke, he removed his hand from Shen Qingyi’s neck. He was excited.

This Shadow Kill Technique was even more powerful than he had imagined!

Coupled with the release of the ‘Breath Control Technique’, he could silently use his shadow to teleport behind Shen Qingyi and easily create an opportunity to kill her in one strike.

“Alchemist Chen, what kind of divine power technique is this?”

Shen Qingyi could not calm down for a long time. She was shocked by Chen An’s Shadow Kill.

Chen An said calmly, “Shadow Kill Technique.”

Shadow Kill Technique?

Shen Qingyi confirmed that she had never heard of it before and asked Chen An, “Alchemist Chen, can you teach me this technique?”

“Of course.”

Chen An smiled and said, “I still have many techniques to learn from Fellow

Cultivator Shen in the future. Let me teach you this time.”

In the next half a day, under Chen An’s guidance, Shen Qingyi quickly learned the Shadow Kill Technique.

However, the effect of using it was worlds apart.

When Chen An used the Shadow Kill Technique, he could approach silently at any time and create conditions for himself to kill.

As for Shen Qingyi, her usage was slow and obvious. As soon as she appeared from the shadows, she was killed by Chen An.

Shen Qingyi began to doubt her life. She didn’t know what she was lacking.

Time flew by.

In the days that followed, no one in the house went out again.

This was because the Thousand Carnivorous Insects were still wreaking havoc in the alley outside.

Chen An paid no attention to the outside world and focused on cultivating at home.

At the same time, he also learned techniques from Shen Qingyi and mastered basic techniques such as ‘Body Isolation Technique’, ‘X-ray Perspective Technique’, ‘Diving Technique’, and ‘Sound Transmission Technique’.

Every time he learned a new technique, Chen An would repay Shen Qingyi with a massage.

Techniques were free.

One had to take advantage of others. He had won so much that he was numb.

On this day, under Shen Qingyi’s patient teaching, Chen An learned a new technique—Transfiguration Technique.

The name of this technique sounded scary, like the 72 Transformations in Journey to the West.

However, from the effect, it was actually a disguise technique in martial arts.

It was useful, but also not very useful.

When they encountered higher-level Cultivators, they could see through their true appearance at a glance.

In the middle of the night, after his wife and daughter fell asleep, Chen An went to Shen Qingyi’s room as usual.

He wanted to give her a massage, in return for learning techniques during the day.

Sensing Chen An’s hands pressing up further, Shen Qingyi hesitated for a moment before finally asking,

“Alchemist Chen, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question.”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, please ask.”

“Are you… craving my body?”

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, her tone no longer as calm as before.

When Chen An heard her words, his hands froze..
