Not long after, the three of them finished their porridge and Pan Hui went home.

Shen Qingyi went out to rid the evildoers.

Chen An returned to his original seat and waited for the people from the Treasure Pavilion to come and check the accounts.

More than an hour later, a fat man with a chubby face walked in.

When Shopkeeper Liu saw this, he immediately opened the cabinet in front of him and took out a red sandalwood box.

He quickly walked towards the man and handed over the red sandalwood box in his hand with a fawning expression. “Deacon Li, long time no see. This is a small token of my appreciation.”

“Shopkeeper Liu is too polite.”

Deacon Li smiled and took the red sandalwood box. When he opened it and took a look, the smile on his face widened.

Shopkeeper Liu could not help but be delighted when he saw this. He lowered his posture and asked, “Deacon Li, then this audit…”

“I’ve already checked. There’s no problem. Shopkeeper Liu is an honest person. When 1 go back, I’ll definitely report it truthfully. 1 can’t treat any loyal and dutiful person unfairly.”

Deacon Li patted his chest and promised.

At this point, the audit was over.

Shopkeeper Liu chatted with Deacon Li for a while more.

Then, he glanced at Chen An and gestured for him to come over.

Chen An stood up and went over.

After seeing him come over, Shopkeeper Liu immediately introduced him to Deacon Li and said, “Deacon Li, my friend’s name is Chen An. He’s a newly promoted second-grade Alchemist and wants to apply to join the Treasure Pavilion. 1 wonder if there are any remaining spots this year?”

The position of Alchemist in the Treasure Pavilion only released a small number of slots every year. Many second-grade Alchemists might not be able to enter even if they applied for it.

Compared to strength, sometimes relationships were more important.

The reason why Shopkeeper Liu was willing to help Chen An was entirely because he wanted to befriend him.

Once Chen An successfully joined the Treasure Pavilion and he was someone who had helped Chen An a lot, his life in the Treasure Pavilion would be even more comfortable in the future.

Perhaps he would be able to leave the Bamboo Leaf Forest soon and work in the Treasure Pavilion.

Deacon Li sized up Chen An a few times and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. Alchemist Chen has already reached the second level of alchemy before his hair turned white. Such talent in alchemy really surprises me.”

“Deacon Li, you flatter me.” Chen An replied with a polite smile.

Deacon Li continued, “Alchemist Chen, if you want to join the Treasure Pavilion, just breaking through to Level 2 in the Alchemy is far from enough. You have to satisfy other requirements.”

Chen An: “Deacon Li, please enlighten me.”

Deacon Li smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, the Alchemy Realm is only a level. Most of the time, it can’t completely reflect an Alchemist’s strength, such as the success rate, efficiency, endurance, and so on.”

“Therefore, if you want to apply to join the Treasure Pavilion, you have to show your abilities in these three aspects. Only then can 1 recommend you.”

As he spoke, he continued, “How about this? 1’11 provide you with the materials to refine the Spirit Concentration Pills. If you can refine 2,000 Spirit Concentration Pills in half a month, it means that your comprehensive ability in these three aspects is qualified.”

“2,000 pills in half a month?” Chen An thought that he had heard wrongly.

The Spirit Concentration Pill was a Tier 1 medicinal pill. It had a high demand and the raw materials were cheap. It was the first choice for many low-level Alchemists to refine to earn money.

In the past, before the recipe for the Emotion Severing Pill was rewarded by the system, he basically relied on refining the Spirit Concentration Pill to earn a living.

Therefore, he knew very well how difficult it was to refine 2,000 Spirit Concentration Pills in half a month, and on average, refine more than 133 pills a day.

Moreover, it was a special period now. Usually, he had to provide medicinal pills to the Bamboo Leaf Gang’s logistics department. With this, it was simply hellishly difficult.

Seeing Chen An’s troubled expression, Deacon Li smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, it’s not that easy to enter the Treasure Pavilion. If you can’t do it, I can only express my regret.”

“Deacon Li, I’m confident that 1 can complete this test.”

Chen An smiled and thought that since the other party was providing the ingredients, he would not lose anything. At most, he would lose time. Why not take on the challenge?

When Deacon Li heard this, he smiled and said that the test would begin tomorrow. He would provide the materials and Shopkeeper Liu would provide the alchemy room and supervise.

At the same time, he also asked Chen An to use the photographic stone to record the entire process when refining pills to prevent cheating.

Chen An had no objections. Before Deacon Li left, he even gave him some spirit stones to express his gratitude.

After Deacon Li left, Shopkeeper Liu looked at Chen An with a smile and said, “Alchemist Chen, you have to pass the test. 1 still want to rely on you in the future.”

“I’ll do my best.”

After saying that, Chen An said, “Shopkeeper Liu, how much are the photographic stones here?”

“Friendly price, 1 low-grade spirit stone.”

“I’d like three photographic stones, please.”

After coming out of the Treasure Hall, Chen An went to the clothing store in the market and bought lingerie for each of his three wives as a gift for them when he returned home.

Then, he went to the pastry shop and bought a box of spirit cakes made of spirit rice and spirit fruits. He brought them back to his daughter, Chen Yuejian, to satisfy her craving.

He carried a cloth bag containing three undergarments.

He then thought of the three photographic stones in his arms, Chen An could not help but speed up his pace home.

Green Willow Alley, at home.

Chen An had just pushed open the door of the courtyard when his wife and daughter came out to welcome him.

Among them, his daughter, Chen Yuejian, ran all the way here.

She ran to Chen An and raised her chubby little face. She opened her short hands and said with sparkling eyes, “Daddy, hug!”

“Okay, Daddy will hug Little Yuejian to see you.”

As Chen An spoke, he handed the box containing the spirit cake to Chen Yuejian and hugged her with one hand.

Chen Yuejian smelled the fragrance coming from the box and couldn’t wait to open it. When she saw the colorful spirit cakes inside, she immediately reached out to eat them.

When Song Huaying, who had just walked over, saw this, she immediately reached out and hit her. She reprimanded, “Girl, you just played with flowers and plants in the backyard for the entire day. You didn’t even wash your hands and dare to take something to eat. Do you want to get diarrhea?!”

“Father—”

Chen Yuejian looked at Chen An with an aggrieved expression.

Chen An said gently, “Little Yuejian, be good and listen to Mother. You can eat after washing your hands.”

[You defended your wife Song Huaying’s dignity in front of your daughter. Couple Relationship +1.]

“Husband, what do you want for dinner later? 1’11 make it for you now.”

Gu Xinyue walked up and said.

Chen An looked at her fair and cold face and teased, “1 want to eat Yue’er later.”

Gu Xinyue blushed.

Wen Zhiyun couldn’t stand it anymore. She reached out and hit Chen An. She glared at him and said, “How can you say such things in front of your daughter? What kind of father are you?”

“I didn’t think it through.”

Chen An deeply realized that he did not have enough experience in taking care of his daughter. He wanted Wen Zhiyun to be his daughter tonight so that he could learn how to be a father.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, his daughter fell asleep.

Chen An called his three wives to his room and gave them the lingerie he had bought today.

Song Huaying was pink.

Gu Xinyue was blue.

Wen Zhiyun was red.

Song Huaying liked this gift very much and felt that her husband was very interesting.

Gu Xinyue blushed.

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes out of habit.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Go take a shower and go back to your rooms to rest.

I’ll go to your rooms one by one later to give you a full-body massage to reward you for your usual hard work.”

“Thank you, husband. Ying’er loves you!”

“Thank you, Husband.”

“Hehe, he definitely doesn’t have good intentions. I’ve already showered. I’m going to sleep. Don’t disturb me from sleeping early to recuperate.”

After his wives dispersed.

Chen An took out the three photographic stones he had bought from the treasure shop today. He hesitated about which beautiful wife he should patronize first so that they could admire his charming words and smile.

In life, one had to learn to leave some memories and record every beautiful moment of their youth.

This way, when he was old and useless in the future, he could admire each other’s youthful looks with his wives instead of having vague memories..
