[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Seventh-Layer, 1303/4000]
[Skill: Fourth Tier Alchemist]
[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (777/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (789/1000)]
[Available Cultivation Points: 49]
Qin Gengyun lay on the bed, looking at the illusory text before him. After trying a new cultivation thod tonight, Qiu Zhihe seed a bit tired and had already fallen asleep.
"Why isn’t there a progress value for Alchemist?"
In fact, after cultivating last night, Qin Gengyun noticed the anomaly in the [Skill] section. With so guesses in mind, he tried to add 1 cultivation point to Alchemist.
But there was no response, and the attribute panel in front of him still showed [Fourth Tier Alchemist] in the [Skill] section, without any change.
This confird Qin Gengyun’s suspicion.
After reaching the Fourth Tier, the [Skill] cannot be improved through dual cultivation.
It’s like the restriction of the Three Great Sects on pill formulas; any Third Grade or below pill formulas can freely circulate, but once it involves Fourth Grade pill formulas, loose cultivators have no right to access them.
It seems that this Golden Finger of his is also restricted by so rules of this world.
Once [Skill] reaches the Fourth Tier, it needs other thods to improve.
Is it through self-training and increasing proficiency?
Or, like Fourth Grade pill formulas, does one need to join a Major Sect, obtain a high-tier alchemy secret manual, or apprentice under a high-tier alchemist?
Also, can he learn other skills, like his wife, who is both a Spirit Plant Master and an Array Master?
Qin Gengyun had no clue at the mont, but there was no rush to further improve his alchemy skills now. The priority was to get the pill formula for the "Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill."
First, establish a foundation, enhance his strength, and then see if he could access higher levels.
Qin Gengyun glanced at the sleeping Qiu Zhihe. Her round little face was soft and smooth, with a slightly pouted cherry-like mouth, looking extraordinarily cute.
With a smile on his face, Qin Gengyun gently embraced her soft, delicate body. Qiu Zhihe murmured in a daze, moving slightly and snuggling into his arms.
Looking at the lovely person in his arms, Qin Gengyun’s heart surged with tenderness, and his gaze beca more resolute.
I must survive and be with my wife for a hundred lifetis!
...
The next day.
When Qin Gengyun woke up, Qiu Zhihe was no longer in bed. He dressed and walked out of the bedroom.
Qiu Zhihe was coming out of the kitchen with breakfast. Qin Gengyun approached her and asked softly:
"Wife, are you feeling better?"
Qiu Zhihe blushed slightly and glared at him, "Go call Susu for breakfast!"
Qin Gengyun dared not tease his wife any further. He agreed and walked to the alchemy room, knocking on the door and shouting:
"Susu, if you don’t get up soon, I’ll finish all the buns!"
"Damn it! Qin, leave two!"
Just as the words left her mouth, the alchemy room door opened, and Liu Su, with disheveled hair ornants and untidy clothing, rushed out. Realizing Qin Gengyun was watching her with a grin, she knew she’d been fooled.
"Qin, you tricked ! Ah, I was just dreaming about eating dragon at!"
"Eat."
Qiu Zhihe said calmly. Liu Su dared not make a fuss, smoothed her ssy hair, and sat down to devour a large bun in each hand with gusto.
At the table, Qin Gengyun and Liu Su occasionally bickered over food, while Qiu Zhihe remained unusually quiet, seemingly preoccupied, with her small bowl of porridge left unfinished.
"Wife, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Gengyun asked with concern.
Qiu Zhihe shook her head. Once they had eaten, she urged them to go cultivate while she took the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen.
"What’s wrong with Miss Qiu?"
Liu Su wondered and then glared at Qin Gengyun:
"Did you upset Miss Qiu again?"
Qin Gengyun, equally puzzled, replied, "No, everything was fine last night."
"Tch!" Liu Su didn’t believe it, and the cold voice of Qiu Zhihe ca from the kitchen:
"Not off to cultivate yet?"
"Yes, wife!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The two quickly responded and obediently went into the alchemy room.
Three hours later, Liu Su stretched, "Ah, I can’t go on. Brother-in-law, you continue, I’ll take a break first!"
Saying that she exited the alchemy room, quietly pushed open the bedroom door, and went in.
Inside the bedroom, she found Qiu Zhihe sitting by the bed, lost in thought, not cultivating as she usually did.
"Miss, what’s really bothering you?"
Except for the ti when Senior Sister Hongtang died, this was the first ti Liu Su saw the Saintess like this, prompting her to co forward and ask with concern.
Qiu Zhihe looked up, her clear eyes filled with worry.
"In the master’s relics, there is the pill formula he wants."
Liu Su was taken aback, covering her mouth with her hand, "So the Sect Leader really left relics?"
Qiu Zhihe nodded, "Not at Celestial Ridge Mountain, but in the deepest part of the Northern Wilderness."
The relics of the Cyan Lotus Sect at Celestial Ridge Mountain were rely a trap for the Three Great Sects. The true Sect Leader’s relics were only known to Qiu Zhihe.
As the Saint Master of the Cyan Lotus Sect was originally an alchemist, her relics naturally contained nurous high-grade pill formulas, including the "Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill" formula.
Liu Su pondered briefly, imdiately understanding why Qiu Zhihe was troubled.
"Miss, you want to take him to the Sect Leader’s relics to get the pill formula, but are also worried about him discovering your identity?"
Qiu Zhihe nodded lightly, "My cultivation hasn’t recovered, and I can’t yet be separated from him."
Liu Su let out a perceptible noise in her heart, thinking that the Saintess probably didn’t want to be apart from that guy just for the sake of recovering her cultivation either.
But she dared not say it aloud, knowing full well how harshly the Saintess would smack her bottom.
Liu Su squatted in front of Qiu Zhihe, resting her chin on her hands, her dark eyes spinning with thought before suddenly slapping her thigh:
"I’ve got it!"
Qiu Zhihe looked at her, while Liu Su grinned:
"All we need to do is find a way for brother-in-law to find it by himself!"
...
Late at night.
After the thirteenth ti of three hundred breaths.
In the bedroom.
The utterly exhausted Qin Gengyun had fallen asleep.
Even with the physique of soone at the Qi Cultivation Seventh-Layer, he was in a deep sleep. He didn’t notice when the person beside him got off the bed, their body changed from petite to tall, donned red clothes, and slipped out the window.
Xia Qinglian stood on the rooftop for a mont in contemplation, then her figure flickered and vanished.
Yihong House.
Outside, the night was deep, but inside this place of revelry, bright lights and music could be heard.
"ng Yu, the guest in room ten wants a Golden Pill, hurry up!"
ng Yu had just delivered drinks and snacks to a private room and was now being called by the madam to fetch a Golden Pill from the storeroom.
This pill offered no benefits to cultivation, only providing montary pleasure and causing further descent into debauchery.
"A bunch of animals!"
ng Yu grumbled, having just witnessed the hedonism of male cultivators who spent Spirit Stones like dirt in a private room, becoming gloomy before suddenly stiffening at the sight of a long-absent tall figure before him.
With a head of red hair and clad in red clothes, it was none other than the Divine Lady he hadn’t been summoned by for so long!
"Wuwuwu, Divine Lady, I thought you’d forgotten about ! Wuwuwu!"
ng Yu knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.
Xia Qinglian raised her hand slightly, channeling spiritual power into ng Yu’s body to mildly alleviate the toxicity of the Heart-devouring Pill within him, and then she spoke:
"I need you to do sothing for ."
"Divine Lady, just command it, I would die a thousand deaths without regret!"
Xia Qinglian said, "You should spread the word in Yihong House that an Immortal’s Relic has appeared in the Northern Wilderness, containing... high-grade pill formulas."
