Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 217: Mysterious Yellow Sect's Attack (12)

Chen An made an effort to calm himself down and carefully read through the information on the prescription.

Name of the pill: Fuyun Pill.

Function: Treats Innate Palace Cold in women.

Ingredients: One Fire Lizard Demon Core, one Abyssal Fire Lotus, nine grams of Wansheng Grass Roots, a bowl of Spring Dew, and several other materials.

Method of refinement: First, dissolve the Fire Lizard Demon Core into water, then add the powdered Wansheng Grass Roots, followed by... Refine for at least two hours until the smoke from the furnace turns from white to red, indicating the completion of the Fuyun Pill.

Innate Palace Cold: The condition where the womb of a woman is too cold to conceive.

After carefully reading through all the contents of the prescription, Chen An's face suddenly became enlightened.

It must be that Bing Zha Zi's concubine had Innate Palace Cold.

Because whenever they were intimate, it always felt like the heat was slow to build up.

In the following time, he skimmed through the remaining prescriptions in the alchemy book, but he didn't come across any prescriptions related to treating infertility.

He also carefully read through all the newly added alchemy books, but still didn't find any prescriptions for treating infertility.

The only pill that could treat infertility was the Fuyun Pill he had seen at the beginning.

After leaving the library, Chen An went straight to the medicinal herb storage in the alchemy hall and exchanged his contribution points for the materials needed to refine the Fuyun Pill.

He couldn't exchange for all of them and was missing the Abyssal Fire Lotus.

The medicinal herb storage in the alchemy hall didn't have this herb, so he had to find it elsewhere.

However, even after circling around the market for a while, Chen An couldn't find the Abyssal Fire Lotus.

But it wasn't all bad news.

During this time, he asked many herb gatherers and learned that the Abyssal Fire Lotus was not very valuable and grew in extremely remote areas. The cost-effectiveness of picking it was very low, so generally, no one would go to pick it.

If he wanted the Abyssal Fire Lotus, most of the time he would have to go to a place called "Fire Abyss" at the bottom of a cliff to pick it.

...

In the Cave Mansion area of the Steward's Residence, the "Stable" Cave Mansion.

As soon as Chen An returned home, he earth-traveled to Gu Xinyue's room and informed her of the good news.

At first, Gu Xinyue thought she had misheard.

After a moment, she reacted and threw herself into Chen An's arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed with joy.

"Husband, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? We are already an old married couple, no need to be so formal."

"Husband, can I go with you to find the Abyssal Fire Lotus?"

Gu Xinyue wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Chen An with a pitiful expression, her voice soft and faint.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of his concubine with teary eyes, Chen An's heart melted instantly, and without hesitation, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's go find the Abyssal Fire Lotus together."

Now, even though his cultivation was only at the seventh level of Nascent Soul, his strength was already invincible in the Heaven and Earth Sect, equivalent to being invincible in the Mountain and Sea Domain.

With such great strength, he could finally do as he pleased.

Since Gu Xinyue wanted to go with him, he would let her go. When they went, he would take good care of her and ensure her safety.

...

At night.

Gu Xinyue took the initiative to share the good news with her sisters, telling them that her husband had found a prescription that could treat her infertility and allow her to conceive.

Song Huaying and the other wives were all happy for her and congratulated her.

"Mother Gu, since it's such a happy occasion, should we celebrate with a delicious meal?"

Chen Yike walked up to Gu Xinyue, her round face slightly raised, her eyes full of anticipation as she asked.

Gu Xinyue was very happy tonight and without hesitation, she replied, "What does little Yike want to eat?"

Chen Yike jumped up and down excitedly, saying, "I want to eat roasted chicken, steamed shrimp with black sesame seeds, pan-fried fish fillet, fragrant chicken wings with rice, lychee, oil cake, and plum syrup!"

"Okay, Mother Gu will make it for you right now."

Gu Xinyue smiled softly with her beautiful eyes slightly curved.

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the kitchen, but before she could take a step, she was stopped by Wen Zhiyun behind her.

Wen Zhiyun said, "Yue'er, if anyone is going to cook, it should be us. This meal is to celebrate you. Just sit and rest."

"This..." Gu Xinyue hesitated.

She was used to cooking. Since marrying Chen An, except for the beginning, she has been responsible for the three meals a day at home.

Now she was asked to sit and wait for the meal, which she was not used to for a while.

"Yue'er, Wen Jiejie is right. You usually cook for us. Today, just sit down and taste our cooking." Shen Qingyi saw her hesitation and persuaded her with a smile.

Seeing Shen Qingyi say this, she smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Wen Jiejie and Shen Jiejie."

"Sister Gu, don't forget about me. I used to be your cooking master. Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours now, I can still show off a little." Song Huaying said sweetly.

Seeing her sisters speak up, Jiu Ji, who was breastfeeding her daughter on the side, also said, "Sister Gu, I just learned how to make honey-glazed cucumbers from you last time. I'll let you taste my cooking later."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to Jiu Ji's honey-glazed cucumbers." Gu Xinyue smiled like a lily.

The sisters have such a good relationship...

Chen An looked at his five wives who get along harmoniously and felt very gratified.

...

The next morning.

The sky was just getting light.

After informing his four wives who stayed at home, Chen An took Gu Xinyue on his sword and flew towards their destination, "Fire Abyss," to find the Abyssal Fire Lotus.

The Fire Abyss was not far from the Heaven and Earth Sect, only over forty thousand kilometers away.

For ordinary people, it might take several years to travel this distance.

But for a Nascent Soul expert, especially someone like Chen An who had mastered flying on a sword, it would only take a moment to fly this distance.

"Husband, it's... it's too fast, slow down!" In the high sky, Gu Xinyue closed her eyes tightly and shrank in Chen An's arms, not daring to move at all. She was scared by his high-speed sprint, and her face turned pale, unable to bear it.

Chen An calmly transmitted his voice to her, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be at the Fire Abyss soon."

Gu Xinyue had no choice but to endure a little longer.

After about a quarter of an hour.

The couple didn't take any detours and arrived smoothly at their destination—the Fire Abyss.

Gu Xinyue got off the Flying Dragon Sword and her legs went weak, making it difficult for her to stand straight. She could only rely on Chen An to steady herself.

Seeing her appearance, Chen An smiled and asked, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Gu Xinyue still felt uncomfortable and frowned, saying, "Husband, I'm just a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. I can't handle flying so fast."

"It's okay, I'll fly slower on the way back." Chen An reassured her.

"I've troubled you, husband."

"Not at all. If you're willing, we can walk back and enjoy the scenery along the way."

Chen An took one of Gu Xinyue's delicate jade hands and held it, teasing her with a warm voice.

Gu Xinyue was amused by his humor and felt much more relaxed.

Soon, the couple entered the depths of the Fire Abyss.

The reason why it was called the Fire Abyss was that there were many small fire veins flowing underground, causing the entire land to be in a constant state of steaming, with extremely high temperatures.

So high that except for a few special creatures, there were no living beings that could survive here.

At first glance, it was a barren land, with no grass in sight.

Fortunately, Chen An carried Ice Crystal Pills with him. As long as Gu Xinyue, who didn't have the Fire Spirit Root, took one of these pills, she could withstand the high temperature in the Fire Abyss.

"Husband, I miss my father..."

Gu Xinyue looked at the glass medicine bottle containing the Ice Crystal Pill in her hand, and couldn't help but think of her father who had died from the fire poison in his body.

The reason she married Chen An back then was to obtain the Ice Crystal Pill from him for free, in order to alleviate her father's symptoms of fire poison. It was like selling herself to save her father.

Unfortunately, she sold herself at noon, and her father passed away in the afternoon. It was all in vain.

But who knows if it was a blessing in disguise.

Because of this, she married a good husband, and her life trajectory changed drastically.

Otherwise, she might have died in the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Mountain Villa.

At best, she would have become the concubine of a male cultivator in the later stage of Qi Refining, and been cruelly abused as a tool for venting desires.

Regardless, she probably wouldn't have had the happiness she had after marrying Chen An.

"Husband, do you think if I had married you earlier, my father would have been able to survive the fire poison?" Gu Xinyue asked with red eyes.

Chen An didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

No matter how he answered, it would depress Gu Xinyue.

If he said her father could have survived, Gu Xinyue would definitely regret not selling herself earlier.

If he said her father couldn't have survived, it would seem like he couldn't speak properly and would be hurtful to hear.

"Yue'er, this place is desolate and secluded, it's a good private space to enhance our relationship as husband and wife."

To avoid answering the previous question, Chen An chose to change the topic.

For some reason, whether it was because of the heat or something else, Gu Xinyue's face turned red after hearing this, and her attention was immediately diverted, no longer saddened by the memory of her deceased father.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time.

[Spiritual Sense Intensity +5, Earth Spirit Root Aptitude +5]

"Yue'er, life is short, we must learn to live in the present, enjoy ourselves in a timely manner, and not imprison ourselves in painful memories of the past, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, husband."

"Let's go, let's go deeper in that direction, I have sensed several Abyssal Fire Lotus there."

"Okay."

After a brief exchange between the husband and wife, they walked straight ahead to the left.

With Chen An, a Nascent Soul cultivator, this picking task was completed very smoothly.

In just over half an hour, they harvested hundreds of Abyssal Fire Lotus, enough to refine many Fuyun Pills.

After picking the Abyssal Fire Lotus.

Under Chen An's strong insistence, the husband and wife stayed in the Fire Abyss and enjoyed each other several times before flying back home on their flying swords.

...

Outside the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Chen An, with Gu Xinyue, descended on their flying swords and walked towards the registration desk.

When leaving the Heaven and Earth Sect, they had to register, and when they returned, they had to register as well.

This was the rule of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

"Chen Elder, you've come back so soon after going out, I thought you and your wife would be gone for at least a few days."

Seeing Chen An coming in, Elder Tian greeted him with a flattering smile.

Chen An didn't say much, just smiled as he wrote his name on the registration form, and replied, "No, it was just a small matter, didn't take long."

"By the way, Chen Elder, when I was out on a training journey a few days ago, I obtained a prescription, but I can't understand it and don't know how much it's worth. Are you interested in taking a look? If you like it, you can have it."

Elder Tian knew that Chen An was the one who had made great contributions in the water source poisoning incident last time, and his future prospects were immeasurable. So he tried his best to please him, hoping to gain objective benefits in the future.

Chen An naturally knew this.

Now, he was completely invincible in the Heaven and Earth Sect, and he didn't resist forming beneficial relationships with others.

He smiled and said to Elder Tian, "Then please trouble Elder Tian to show me the prescription."

Upon hearing this, Elder Tian smiled and took out a bamboo slip from his storage bag, handing it to Chen An, saying, "Chen Elder, this is the prescription."

Bamboo slips?

Chen An was filled with anticipation when he saw that this prescription was recorded and preserved in the form of bamboo slips.

Prescriptions that can be recorded on bamboo slips are most likely ancient prescriptions, and there might be surprises.

However, after quickly scanning the prescription, Chen An felt disappointed.

How could this be an ancient prescription?

Some foolish alchemist still likes to use bamboo slips to record, and has engraved an ordinary second-grade pill prescription on this bamboo slip.

This second-grade pill prescription is so ordinary that any alchemist can recognize it, and it has no value.

"Chen Zhi Shi, how is this prescription?"

"It's quite good. Although the prescription is a common second-grade pill prescription and not worth much, the engraved characters on it are quite beautiful and have some collectible value."

Chen An said this with artistic flair.

When informing Tian Zhi Shi that this prescription was worthless, he didn't want to embarrass him too much, so that he wouldn't think he had given him a great favor.

Tian Zhi Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "The characters are indeed beautiful. If Chen Zhi Shi doesn't mind, you can take it home as a collection."

"Since Tian Zhi Shi says so, then I won't be polite."

Chen An smiled and accepted the bamboo slip, thinking that he could bring it back for his three daughters to practice calligraphy.

Afterwards, he had a thought and took out a bottle of moderately valuable healing pill, and handed it to Tian Zhi Shi with a smile, saying, "Tian Zhi Shi, this is a bottle of Revitalizing Pill, which can help you quickly recover your spiritual power."

"Chen Zhi Shi, this is too precious. I just gave you a prescription with nice characters, I can't accept this bottle of Revitalizing Pill from you."

Tian Zhi Shi didn't want to accept this pill, he wanted Chen An to owe him a favor.

Unfortunately, Chen An didn't do as he wished and directly stuffed the pill bottle into his hands.

Tian Zhi Shi had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

"Tian Zhi Shi, let's talk another day. My wife and I will go back first."

"Chen Zhi Shi, take care, sister-in-law."

After a simple farewell, Chen An took Gu Xinyue and flew away on his sword.

Just then!

The protective formation of the Heaven and Earth Sect suddenly reacted strongly.

The light screen that separated the sect from the outside world inexplicably turned red, casting a blood-red hue over the entire land, which was very eerie.

Chen An frowned and tightly protected Gu Xinyue behind him, not knowing what had happened.

Meanwhile, Tian Zhi Shi below immediately took out a Law Weapon that could enhance his senses and spiritual perception, and activated his spiritual power to trigger the amplification effect of the Law Weapon for himself.

This was a necessary Law Weapon for every peripheral disciple.

Used to monitor the enemy's situation.

Tian Zhi Shi's Law Weapon was an enhanced version.

Chen An's frown deepened when he saw this.

Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Sect was being invaded?

Were demonic beasts invading?

Chen An couldn't help but recall the incident when he first arrived at Red Cedar Forest and encountered a sudden attack by a demonic beast.

However, the next moment, Tian Zhi Shi's shout caught him off guard.

He saw Tian Zhi Shi's face suddenly change, trembling as he took out a sound transmission talisman from his storage bag, and shouted, "Master, something big has happened!"

"People from the Mysterious Yellow Sect have arrived!"

"Thousands, tens of thousands of them, they seem to be coming to attack our Heaven and Earth Sect!"

"What?!"

As soon as Tian Zhi Shi finished speaking, an incredulous voice came from the other end of the sound transmission talisman, Xiao Qingyue's voice.
