Chapter 135: The Yanlie Clan Seeks for Pills
The next day, Shi Chen woke up in the bedroom on the second floor and found a woman in his arms. She had fair skin, beautiful looks, and a well-proportioned figure. The thin quilt could not cover her hot body.
The first thing Shi Chen did when he woke up was to find Liang Ruyan woke up too, but she was still pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed. Perhaps it was because she found it difficult to face the situation after a night of lovemaking.
"Okay, open your eyes now that you're awake. Let's talk, okay?" Shi Chen said as he patted Qiao Ting's back.
"Hmm!" Liang Ruyan blushed and hid in Shi Chen's arms.
"Let me tell you about myself first. I am alone in this world, without parents or family. Now that I have entered a sect, I also have..." Shi Chen hugged Liang Ruyan and slowly told her everything that happened after he came to the world of cultivation. He concealed where he came from, how he got there, the opportunities in the secret realm, and how he obtained the seven-colored Xuanhuang Pearl.
"Husband, your spiritual roots are just mixed spiritual roots of the five elements. I heard that it is difficult to cultivate with such spiritual roots and to build a foundation. Now that you have reached the Golden Core stage, it means that your husband has a great opportunity." Liang Ruyan asked after listening to Shi Chen's story.
"I got an opportunity in the sect and my spiritual roots were upgraded to low-grade spiritual roots. Unfortunately, the spiritual objects that can improve spiritual roots will dissipate once they leave the secret palace." Shi Chen explained.
"Spiritual objects that can improve one's aptitude are not easy to obtain. It is a great opportunity to come across one. My husband, don't feel sorry. I am also happy that your aptitude can be improved." Liang Ruyan said happily.
"If you and I become Taoist couples, do we need to go through the six rituals, welcome the bride, and worship in the hall like in the mortal world?" Shi Chen asked while touching Liang Ruyan's hair.
Liang Ruyan propped herself up, and the scenery in front of her unfolded before Shi Chen's eyes. The waves were dazzling and rolling. She looked at Shi Chen with seductive eyes and said, "Everything is up to my husband. I am now free and have no parents or family. As cultivators, we don't need to care about worldly etiquette. As long as my husband loves me, that's all."
"Well," Shi Chen looked at Liang Ruyan's charming eyes, thought for a few breaths and said, "Since neither of us has relatives or friends, then there will be no banquet. You don't like crowds, so we can use the sun and moon as witnesses, heaven and earth as alliances, and become Taoist companions, sharing weal and woe and never leaving each other!"
"With the sun and the moon as witnesses, heaven and earth as our allies, we become companions, sharing weal and woe, and never leaving each other!" Liang Ruyan also said in unison with Shi Chen.
After finishing her marriage vows, Liang Ruyan's cheeks were already rosy, her eyes were filled with love, and she was about to speak: "Husband..."
Shi Chen pounced on her without waiting for her to finish.
Clouds in the morning and rain in the evening, green willows sway in the wind, and koi swim in the pond.
When the two woke up again, it was already afternoon. Shi Chen was still holding Liang Ruyan's waist and teasing her snow-white hair.
"Get up, I'll go cook a table of dishes, you just wait and eat." Shi Chen said in a gentle voice.
After Shi Chen finished speaking, he stood up, cast a cleansing spell on himself, put on his outer robe and was about to go out.
"Husband, I...ah..." Liang Ruyan propped herself up and was about to get up. She thought that now that she was a married woman, she would have to do the kitchen chores. Her husband was a man who could do big things, so he didn't need to do small things himself. Unfortunately, she had just become a bride last night, and now, her whole body was sore and weak, and if she moved, it felt like she would be torn apart.
"Just lie down on the bed and rest. I'll move in here to eat. We can talk later if you have anything to say." Shi Chen stopped Liang Ruyan from getting up and said gently.
An hour later, Shi Chen placed a table of dishes in front of Liang Ruyan, including nine dishes, one soup, a plate of spiritual fruit, and a pot of spiritual wine.
At this time, Liang Ruyan was already dressed neatly, Shi Chen had also changed his clothes, and the two of them were sitting at the table.
"Today, my lady and I will become Taoist companions. For the rest of our lives, the sun and the moon will be our witnesses, the heaven and earth will be our allies, we will share weal and woe, and will never leave each other!" Shi Chen said solemnly.
"Today, my husband and I will become Taoist companions. For the rest of our lives, the sun and the moon will be our witnesses, the heaven and earth will be our alliances, we will share weal and woe, and will never leave each other!" Liang Ruyan said shyly as she followed Shi Chen.
"My lady, come, let's drink from this cup." Shi Chen raised his glass and said to Liang Ruyan.
The two drank the wedding wine, and Shi Chen brought Liang Ruyan some dishes from the table. The two of them were affectionate and fed each other...
When Shi Chen appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, it was already the third day. It was also the third day that Liang Ruyan entered Shi Chen's cave. At this time, Liang Ruyan was still resting in Shi Chen's cave.
He was received by the Immortal City Legion Commander Huo Yao, who led him to the tea room.
"I wonder what Master Shi Dan wants to see the city lord about?" Huo Yao pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Shi Chen and said.
Shi Chen quickly took the spiritual tea and said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, now that I've returned from my trip, my bottleneck has been broken, and my cultivation is improving day by day. I can refine some pills in my spare time. This year's military work has been completed, and I hope to take on more military work and earn more military merit."
"Oh, so Master Shi Dan is here to ask for military affairs. I thought Master Shi Dan was going out again. So, I will contact Linyang Immortal City first and send over the elixirs for military affairs in the next three years. I estimate there will be news in three days." Huo Yao said happily.
"Okay, I'll come back to talk to you, Fellow Daoist Huo, in three days." Shi Chen said as he stood up and left.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, please stay!" Huo Yao quickly stood up and shouted to stop Shi Chen.
"Does Brother Huo have anything else to say?" Shi Chen asked.
"Fellow Daoist Shi is an expert in alchemy and has superb skills. My clan would like to ask you to refine a batch of pills. I wonder if you could help?" Huo Yao bowed.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, you are too polite. I wonder what kind of elixir the nobleman needs me to refine?" Shi Chen asked.
"Generally, Jindan cultivators use elixirs and spiritual fire pills. I wonder if Brother Shi can refine the true fire pill?" Huo Yao looked at Shi Chen and said.
"I can refine all the elixirs used by Jindan cultivators for cultivation, recovery, and healing. However, I don't have the recipes for Spirit Fire Pills and True Fire Pills, so I can't refine them." Shi Chen said truthfully.
"If my clan provides Daoyou Shi with elixir recipes and elixirs, I wonder how much you will get in return?" Huo Yao added a condition.
"In normal pill refining, the success rate is 40% after refining 100 spiritual herbs, and it should reach 60% after refining 200 spiritual herbs." Shi Chen frowned and replied.
"Our clan provides elixir recipes and elixirs. Can Brother Shi make elixirs for our clan?" Huo Yao pleaded.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Huo, do you want me to refine the pills for free after you provide me with two pill recipes? The Spirit Fire Pill and the True Fire Pill have no special effect on me, but they have a special cultivation effect on the Yanlie Clan. As far as I know, it should improve the Yanlie Clan's cultivation efficiency. It is impossible for me to refine the pills for free with the pill recipes as a reward. The value of providing these two pill recipes is equivalent to helping to refine fifty furnaces of third-level pills." Shi Chen said calmly.
"Our clan is not asking Daoist Shi to refine pills for free. We are willing to provide the pill formula and spiritual medicine, 200 portions of each spiritual medicine. Once Daoist Shi's pill success rate stabilizes above 60%, we ask Daoist Shi to help refine 100 portions of Spiritual Fire Pills and True Fire Pills for free."
"How do we calculate the pills produced from the two hundred spiritual medicines for practice?" Shi Chen said to Huo Yao with a smile.
"Oh, this elixir was provided by my clan, so of course it belongs to my clan."
"That's fine, but I have a condition. As long as you agree, I can make the elixir according to your conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Huo Yao asked impatiently.
"Help me collect thirty sets of the Infant Transformation Pill within a year, and I will pay for the military merit spirit stones." Shi Chen said with a smile.
