Chapter 438: Youth Restoring Pills

"My lord has been missing for more than half a month, and I have been worrying day and night," Xu Xinlan murmured softly, nestled in Wang Chen’s arms with a blush on her face, just after their intimate moment in the boudoir. "If something truly happened to my lord, I wouldn’t be able to live alone."

Her eyes shimmered with a delicate glow, reflecting an unspeakable softness and fragility.

Both she and Zuo Xiaomo had been teleported to an unknown area, but while Zuo Xiaomo managed to escape in seven days, Wang Chen had been out of contact for over twenty days. It would be strange if Xu Xinlan wasn’t worried.

Her entire being, body and soul, was entrusted to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said, "It’s not that serious; I will take care of myself, and you should too."

In the mortal world, one cannot act freely, and even in the immortal sect, one cannot live carelessly.

Don’t mention him, a mere Purple Palace cultivator; even those who condense a Dan infant are still prisoners of this realm.

To attain the great path and true freedom, one must seek the upper realms!

Cultivating immortality goes against the heavens; one cannot easily achieve temporary success for a lifetime.

Now, with Xu Xinlan as his partner, he had one more tie and concern.

"Mm," Xu Xinlan gently nodded. "I have reached the eighth level of Qi Training, and I want to break through to the ninth level and open a house."

She understood clearly that if she wanted to stay by Wang Chen’s side forever, simply being a soft vine clinging to the tree wasn’t enough.

The lifespan between Qi Training and the Purple Palace differs by half, and youth fades quickly; cultivation level is truly important!

"By the way," Wang Chen suddenly remembered something.

He took out a dozen pill bottles from his Xumi Ring. "These elixirs are for you."

At first, Xu Xinlan didn’t pay much attention, feeling happy simply because of Wang Chen’s thoughtfulness.

However, when she found out that among the elixirs Wang Chen gifted her were not only the Yuan Cultivating Pills and Harmony Pills but also Youth Restoring Pills, her eyes lit up with extreme surprise.

With Xu Xinlan’s background, she could afford Yuan Cultivating Pills and Harmony Pills.

But Youth Restoring Pills were different.

Youth Restoring Pills are second-grade spirit pills, and their effect is to maintain one’s youthful appearance. One pill can preserve youth for three to five years.

Although Youth Restoring Pills do not assist in cultivation and cannot heal injuries or detoxify, they are the most beloved and valued elixirs among countless female cultivators.

Without exception!

Due to the rarity of the materials used to refine Youth Restoring Pills and the high level of difficulty in making them, very few pills circulate in the market and are often snapped up immediately upon release.

Unless one is willing to pay a high price for a custom order, it is extremely difficult for someone of Xu Xinlan’s cultivation and background to obtain a few Youth Restoring Pills.

Yet now, Wang Chen presented her with three bottles.

Each bottle contains ten pills, so three bottles mean thirty Youth Restoring Pills. Even if one only maintains its effect for three years, that’s ninety years of eternal youth!

For Xu Xinlan, there could be no better gift than this.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xu Xinlan clung tightly to the pill bottle in her arms, much like a miser clutching their most prized possession, her entire demeanor transformed.

Wang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

He hadn’t anticipated that the Youth Restoring Pills would wield such a potent influence, effortlessly shattering Xu Xinlan’s usual composure.

These elixirs had been seized from Xuanyi Dao Ren, and to Wang Chen, the Yuan Cultivating Pills and Soul Nourishing Pills held far greater value than the Youth Restoring Pills.

Of course, Wang Chen understood the irresistible allure such elixirs held for women.

In his past life, a single pill could fetch tens of millions, and there would be no shortage of eager buyers.

He smiled and said, “As long as you’re pleased, there’s no need for thanks.”

Xu Xinlan’s cheeks flushed, and she bit her lip softly before saying, “I will share one bottle of these Youth Restoring Pills with Xiaodai and Xiaoyu.”

Xiaodai and Xiaoyu were Xu Xinlan’s personal maids, twin sisters who had been by her side since childhood.

Xu Xinlan practiced the Su Yin Huan Zhen Hehe method alongside Wang Chen and had brought the twins into the practice as well.

This was only natural; as the primary wife, Xu Xinlan’s attendants, Xiaodai and Xiaoyu, were destined to serve in such a capacity.

Her willingness to share the Youth Restoring Pills with them spoke volumes of her magnanimity.

“Mm,”

Wang Chen responded indifferently, “Do as you see fit. Once they’re gone, I’ll find more for you.”

Xu Xinlan was utterly delighted, unable to resist tucking the pill bottle into her storage bag before leaning in to plant a tender kiss on Wang Chen.

She called out softly, “Xiaodai, Xiaoyu, come in at once!”

Two graceful figures slipped quietly into the room, filling the space with an air of warmth.

By the time the clouds and rain had settled, an hour had passed.

Wang Chen gently disentangled himself from the jade arms wrapped around him, allowing the three women, spent from their shared pleasure, to drift into a deep slumber.

He draped his robe over his shoulders and quietly made his way to the quiet room.

The Su Yin Huan Zhen Hehe method truly lived up to its reputation as a Dual Cultivation method. Given that Wang Chen’s cultivation level far surpassed that of Xu Xinlan and the others, he naturally maintained the dominant position, reaping the greatest benefits.

At this moment, Wang Chen’s energy, spirit, and mind were at their zenith, and he felt no trace of drowsiness.

Seizing the opportunity presented by his optimal state, he decided to make up for the cultivation he had neglected.

Over the past half month, while exploring the uncharted depths of the Nine Dragons underground palace, Wang Chen had been unable to cultivate properly.

Before diving into his cultivation, he decided to enhance himself further.

Wang Chen’s Heavenly Merit had surpassed two thousand points, enough to add 1 point to both his body and soul.

Due to unfavorable timing earlier, he had held off on making the enhancement. Now, however, was the perfect moment.

Without a second thought, Wang Chen allocated 1000 points of Heavenly Merit to each of his two main attributes, instantly depleting 2000 points. His body and soul both surged past the 20-point mark.

Both now stood at 21 points!

An indescribable energy surged from Wang Chen’s Tianzhong acupoint, coursing through his body and leaving him feeling as though he had undergone a profound purification.

Though the increase was merely 1 point, surpassing the 20-point threshold for his basic attributes felt akin to a major breakthrough.

Wang Chen’s spirit ascended to new heights!

His body grew even more robust, swiftly healing the hidden injuries inflicted by the City God statue, while his mental clarity sharpened, greatly enhancing his perception.

Though his cultivation level remained unchanged, Wang Chen was now undoubtedly capable of defeating his former self, prior to the enhancement!

【Body: 21】【Root Bone: 7】【Comprehension: 7】【Soul: 21】

After reviewing his current attributes, Wang Chen felt a lingering sense of anticipation.

All four main attributes had been enhanced four times; according to the tenfold increase rule, further enhancements would require 10,000 points of Heavenly Merit!

How many Qi Training cultivators would he need to defeat to amass such a sum?

The path ahead would only grow more arduous.

Yet, the boost to his basic attributes was undeniably formidable. If he could add another point or two to his root bone and comprehension, he would likely face no obstacles in breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Wang Chen reined in his wandering thoughts and retrieved the jade box from the Treasure Vault.

He was eager to discover what item could resonate so profoundly with the Life Creation Cauldron!
