Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 202 Meeting the Saintess (22)

Hehuan Tower, top floor.

Under the coverage of layers of soundproofing formations, coupled with the protection of several Law Weapons that isolate divine consciousness.

Elder Yibailian from the White Lotus Hall and Elder Mozixuan from the Hehuan Hall were sitting in front of an Immortal Ascension platform, enjoying their conversation over drinks.

"I didn't expect that old guy in the Pill Hall to be quite capable. He actually managed to poison all the disciples below the Gold Core level inside the sect. This is going to sever the roots of the Heaven and Earth Sect," Yibailian exclaimed with emotion.

Mozixuan took a sip of the spirit wine made from a certain part of a male cultivator, and with a lingering taste on her lips, she smiled and said, "I used to underestimate that old guy. I thought he was just a waste, barely at the Nascent Soul stage with his lifespan almost depleted. But in the end, he turned out to be more useful than both of us."

Yibailian picked up the wine cup in front of her and took a sip of the light floral wine inside, her tone calm as she said, "That's why you can't judge a book by its cover."

Her taste was not as heavy as Mozixuan, the enchantress of the Hehuan Hall, and she couldn't drink that kind of stuff.

Mozixuan finished the wine in her hand in one gulp, her eyes slightly intoxicated as she said, "After this is done, that old guy is probably going to soar to the sky. I have to seduce him into becoming my husband."

"You can even stomach something that old. You really aren't picky," Yibailian shook her head.

Mozixuan dismissed it, saying, "The older the spirit ginseng, the more nourishing it is. It's the same for people. You don't understand the rich flavor that comes with age."

Yibailian just smiled and didn't say anything.

Rich flavor that comes with age?

Isn't that just a pungent smell?

In the following time, the two female elders continued to enjoy their drinks, fantasizing about restoring the glory of the White Lotus Sect and the Endless Pleasure Sect.

...

Dan Hall Cave Mansion area, the "Stable" Cave Mansion.

Chen An quickly set up a fire rack and refined a furnace of dark gray pills.

After the pills were finished, he immediately returned to Gu Xinyue's room and gave the poisoned wife and daughter the dark gray pills.

Then, he separately gave them the Qi and Blood Pills and the Recovery Pills to accelerate the recovery of their spiritual power and vitality.

It only took a moment for the pills to enter their mouths.

The four wives who were already weak and on the verge of fainting were visibly regaining their color at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their limbs, which had completely lost sensation, were gradually regaining consciousness.

The condition of the two daughters who had already fainted also began to improve.

Not long after, the two little girls opened their eyes and woke up, although they still looked weak.

Chen An was very concerned about the condition of his wife and daughters, asking each of them if there was any discomfort.

The wives all said they were much better and there was no major problem.

Chen Yuejian still felt very uncomfortable and weakly said, "Daddy, my head is still spinning..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, you won't feel dizzy soon," Chen An gently stroked his eldest daughter's head, comforting her in a warm voice, "Once the qi and blood in your body recover, you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Song Huaying also held Chen Yuejian in her arms with a tender expression, softly saying, "Daddy said you won't feel dizzy soon, so you definitely won't. We have to trust Daddy."

"Daddy, I'm hungry!"

At this moment, a loud shout came from the next room.

It was Chen Yike, the silly daughter.

She had recovered much better than her sister, looking much more energetic. She shouted at her father with a loud voice.

Before Chen An could respond, Gu Xinyue on the other side smiled and said, "Xiao Yike, what do you want to eat? Mom will go to the kitchen and make it for you."

Wen Zhiyun's face changed when she heard this, immediately speaking up to stop her, "Silly Yue'er, have you forgotten that we probably got poisoned from eating the wrong thing? How dare you go to the kitchen and cook?"

"Wen sister, it's my oversight," Gu Xinyue remembered and looked apologetic.

Seeing this, Jiu Ji took out a large box of spirit cakes from her storage bag, smiling as she handed it to Chen Yike, saying, "Xiao Yike, this is what Jiu Niang had been keeping and not eating. If you're hungry, you can eat this to fill your stomach for now."

"Thank you, Jiu Niang!"

Chen Yike took the box handed to her, her eyes shining as she said thank you.

Afterward, she couldn't wait to open the box and picked up one of the spirit cakes to stuff it into her mouth.

She ate it ravenously.

It looked extremely delicious.

Chen Yuejian, who was also hungry, raised her small face and looked at Song Huaying, her voice weak with a hint of longing, "Mom, I also want to eat a spirit cake."

Wen Zhiyun immediately took a piece of spirit cake from their silly daughter and gently handed it to Chen Yuejian, saying, "Xiaoyue, you must be starving. Here, try this snow lotus-flavored spirit cake."

"Thank you, Wen mother."

Chen Yuejian took the spirit cake and revealed a pitifully beautiful smile, enough to make any man lose his mind.

Chen An saw his eldest daughter's enchanting smile, like a peony flower, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

His daughter, who was once so small, has now grown into a beautiful young lady.

Time really flies.

As he lamented the passing of time, Shen Qingyi curiously asked him, "Husband, what kind of miraculous medicine did you just refine? How did it detoxify so quickly?"

Chen An replied, "What I refined was not a miraculous medicine at all, just a relatively rare third-grade pill. It has no value and is not difficult to make."

He continued, "Of course, now that it can detoxify, this pill has gained some value."

Seeing that his wives were all curious, Chen An decided not to keep them in suspense any longer.

He organized his words and explained to them as simply as possible, "Actually, you were never poisoned. It's just that the dead acupoints in your bodies were opened."

"We all know that acupoints are the gateways for the flow of spiritual energy and blood. Without acupoints, we cannot mobilize and circulate the spiritual energy and blood in our bodies."

"And the dead acupoint is a special acupoint in the body, located at the highest point of a living being's physical body."

"Normally, the dead acupoint is closed and does not participate in the flow of spiritual energy and blood, so it has no effect on living beings."

"No, saying it has no effect is actually giving it too much credit."

"The fact is, in many cases, the dead acupoint is harmful to living beings."

"The dead acupoint is not always closed. Under certain special circumstances, it can open a gap."

"Because it only opens a gap and does not directly connect both ends, the spiritual energy and blood that flow through it will be devoured by it and cannot circulate in the body."

"But fortunately, the dead acupoint only opens briefly and will soon close on its own."

"And what you called 'poisoning' earlier was actually the forced opening of the dead acupoint in your bodies, causing the spiritual energy and blood to be devoured by the dead acupoint, resulting in inevitable problems in your bodies."

At this point, Chen An smiled and said, "So, the antidote I just gave you is actually a pill used to close the dead acupoint."

After listening to his explanation, Shen Qingyi and Jiu Ji suddenly understood.

As for the remaining wives and daughters, they listened without understanding, seeming to grasp but not fully comprehend.

"Husband, if what you're saying is true, then this poison is ineffective against cultivators at the Gold Core stage and above, right?"

Shen Qingyi raised this question as a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator herself, knowing that one of the necessary conditions to achieve the Gold Core stage is to open the dead acupoints in the body and allow them to participate in the circulation of spiritual energy.

Chen An snapped his fingers and smiled, "Good question. Indeed, this poison only affects cultivators below the Gold Core stage."

"Husband, how could we, who were perfectly fine, have been poisoned?"

Wen Zhiyun asked with a puzzled expression.

Chen An answered solemnly, "Not only you, but all the disciples below the Gold Core stage in the entire sect have been affected."

Upon hearing this, all the wives were stunned.

The entire sect was affected?

Is it that serious?

Shen Qingyi, being more perceptive, asked immediately, "Husband, are you saying that we were poisoned intentionally by someone?"

Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, unless something unexpected happened, someone must have added something to the sect's water source that can open the dead acupoints in our bodies. But I haven't been able to determine what exactly was added."

At this moment, Song Huaying suddenly said excitedly, "Husband, when you came back from the alchemy hall earlier, you said that they couldn't do anything about this poison."

"And now, you have successfully deciphered this poison that endangers all the disciples of the sect."

"Husband, you have made a great contribution!"

As she spoke, Song Huaying's excitement turned into excitement, and she began to fantasize about the wonderful life she would have as the wife of an elder.

The other four wives, including the young Chen Yuejian, were also excited to varying degrees.

Compared to them, Chen An appeared much more rational.

He knew that the bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts, and he didn't want to attract too much attention. He didn't plan to take credit for this achievement.

However, he didn't want to give up the opportunity to benefit from it either.

After careful consideration, he decided to give this credit to the Holy Maiden and then quietly seek rewards from her.

With this in mind, he took out a sound transmission talisman and contacted the Holy Maiden, speaking calmly, "Holy Maiden, I have something important to discuss with you, something very important."

"What is it?"

Ning Xian'er's voice came through the sound transmission talisman, sounding somewhat puzzled.

Chen An spoke seriously, "Holy Maiden, this is something I need to discuss with you in person."
