Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 108: Kissed My Wife, Got Beaten Up by Master
"Didn’t I ask you to find out who refined those high-quality pills last time?"
In Zhenyang City, inside an inn.
Chang Chunzi was angrily questioning Pei Daoyu.
"Senior, I have tried my best to investigate. I only know that these pills came from the Pill Talisman Tower, but that place is quite powerful, and I dare not provoke them."
Pei Daoyu replied helplessly.
Chang Chunzi waved his hand: "Never mind! For now, focus on acquiring the Third Grade Spirit Pills. Become my Medicine Officer; I want to refine the high-quality Continuing Soul Revival Pill and Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pill!"
Pei Daoyu hesitated: "Senior, I’m afraid it won’t be easy, will it?"
The Zhenyang Sect’s competition is set to take place in three months, and both Danxia Peak and Xiyue Peak only gave us half a month to produce samples.
These are Third Grade Spirit Pills, and even for a seasoned Third Tier Alchemist like Chang Chunzi, making one takes seven to eight days.
Not to mention the high-quality ones; is half a month even enough?
Chang Chunzi scowled fiercely: "Do you doubt my abilities?"
Pei Daoyu quickly replied: "I wouldn’t dare! I’ll definitely assist Senior with all my might in alchemy!"
He hesitated for a moment and ultimately didn’t mention the person in his workshop named Qin Gengyun.
This person suspiciously jumped from the Second-Layer of Qi Cultivation to the Fourth-Layer.
However, he couldn’t prove that Qin Gengyun was connected to those high-quality Spirit Pills.
Moreover, should circumstances change in the future, perhaps he might even need to rely on Qin Gengyun.
For now, I’ll bide my time and decide later.
...
Three days later.
Qin Gengyun arrived at the Pill Talisman Tower.
Shopkeeper Tong was frowning, but upon seeing him arrive, his eyes lit up, and he quickly rose to greet him:
"Taoist Friend Qin, is there good news?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and nodded. Shopkeeper Tong was delighted and promptly led him into the inner hall, personally serving him a cup of tea, then smiling and asking:
"Taoist Friend Qin, have the Spirit Pills been made?"
Qin Gengyun took out one Continuing Soul Revival Pill and one Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pill. Shopkeeper Tong immediately saw that the quality of these pills far surpassed those made by ordinary alchemists.
A smile appeared on his face as he gave Qin Gengyun a thumbs up:
"Taoist Friend Qin, your talent in alchemy is outstanding, your future is bright!"
"You’re too kind, Shopkeeper Tong." Qin Gengyun modestly replied with a smile:
"So, about this deal..."
Shopkeeper Tong bowed: "20 Continuing Soul Revival Pills and 20 Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pills, to be delivered within two months. Can you accomplish this, Taoist Friend Qin?"
Qin Gengyun also bowed: "I will not fail to live up to the trust!"
"Excellent! Hahaha! Here’s a 500 Spirit Stone deposit, keep it safe, and remember to deliver on time!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tong!"
Walking out of the Pill Talisman Tower, Qin Gengyun felt a spring in his step.
Third Grade Pills, 5200 Spirit Stones!
A Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion on Caifeng Street costs around 1000 Spirit Stones. Once this deal is fulfilled, I’ll buy one and hire some servants to take care of Zhihe.
Then my wife won’t have to work so hard buying groceries and cooking.
Of course, for now, I need to focus on alchemy and quickly improve my cultivation to the Sixth-Layer of Qi Cultivation.
Perhaps it’s the joy of success that brought extra energy; during evening work, I even increased to 200 breaths.
Though my wife still turned her back coldly afterwards, Qin Gengyun clearly saw her blushing earlobes and heard her slight panting.
Qin Gengyun’s heart surged with heroism.
As a husband, I finally feel a bit of conquest over my wife!
"Aren’t you leaving?"
Qiu Zhihe felt Qin Gengyun watching her from behind and turned back, giving him a glare, both shy and angry.
The next moment, her forehead was lightly kissed.
Qiu Zhihe was dumbfounded, instinctively raising her hand to slap him, but hit nothing but air.
Qin Gengyun had already leaped to the doorway, smiling:
"Zhihe, I’m leaving. You should rest early."
He left soon after, not giving Qiu Zhihe a chance to lose her temper.
Haha, my wife’s shy and angry look is so adorable!
Qin Gengyun ran joyfully under the night sky, replaying the scene of Qiu Zhihe’s startled and angry face after the surprise kiss.
It’s a good thing I escaped quickly; otherwise, I’d most likely have been "tripped" again.
Qin Gengyun suddenly found these playful games with his wife rather enjoyable; next time, he wouldn’t just kiss her forehead, next time... he’d kiss her little lips.
Kiss and run, see how Zhihe reacts.
Feeling smug, Qin Gengyun hummed softly as he arrived at Yunling Mountain.
His master was already there; Qin Gengyun approached and bowed: "Master, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the master had already charged at him with an astonishing speed and power, much faster and stronger than usual.
Startled, Qin Gengyun quickly raised his hands to block, yet was still struck and sent flying.
"Master, w-wait a moment..."
Climbing up awkwardly from the snow, Qin Gengyun began to speak, only for that malevolent red figure to appear before him again.
Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
Ah!!
...
Fifteen days later.
At the foot of Zhenyang Mountain.
"Senior, here are the Continuing Soul Revival Pill and Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pill I’ve refined, please have a look."
Chang Chunzi, despite his venerable appearance, was humbly bowing to a young man who seemed barely over twenty.
This young man was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Zhenyang Sect, and although younger by several rounds, Chang Chunzi still had to respectfully call him "Senior."
The Inner Sect Disciple gave a hum of acknowledgment, accepting the two pills.
Chang Chunzi and Pei Daoyu watched him nervously.
These two pills were products of their fifteen-day seclusion and painstaking effort to refine.
Their quality was a bit higher than ordinary Third Grade Spirit Pills, offering an increase in efficacy by half a level.
But this was their utmost limit.
Under the apprehensive eyes of the two, the young man coldly snorted and tossed the pills back.
"You needn’t return."
As he turned to enter the mountain gate, Chang Chunzi panicked and rushed forward, saying:
"Senior, is it that our pill’s quality isn’t up to par? Give us another month, and we can enhance it by another half level!"
He spoke, taking out five pieces of Spirit Marrow and stuffing them into the Inner Sect Disciple’s hand, which made him pause and state placidly:
"Can you enhance it by three levels?"
The two exchanged glances, and Chang Chunzi instinctively replied:
"Senior, you must be joking, right?"
These are Third Grade Spirit Pills; improving them by half a level had already pushed them to their limits.
Three levels?
Is that even possible?
The Inner Sect Disciple sneered: "Frogs in the well, it wouldn’t hurt to tell you, but someone has already refined Spirit Pills with a three-level efficacy boost. In two months, 40 high-quality Spirit Pills will arrive."
Chang Chunzi and Pei Daoyu were stunned. Seeing the Inner Sect Disciple about to leave, Chang Chunzi gritted his teeth and took out five more pieces of Spirit Marrow:
"Senior, may I inquire where these Spirit Pills originated?"
The Inner Sect Disciple skillfully took the Spirit Marrow and chuckled: "Yunling Town."
...
Zhenyang Sect. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Xiyue Peak.
On the peak.
A woman in a Moon White Fairy Skirt stood at the edge of the cliff. The fierce mountain wind couldn’t sway her jet-black hair in the slightest.
Beneath the cliff, white clouds drifted, surrounded by mist, as if it were a realm of immortals.
The woman stood still at the mountaintop, seemingly merging into the world, like a fairy.
A young disciple approached, looking at that graceful back with admiration in his eyes, and respectfully saluted:
"Senior Sister."
The woman turned, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face, yet it held no expression, colder than frost.
The young disciple quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her face again.
Everyone knew Senior Sister was born with a top-grade Ice Spirit Root and cultivated the Supreme Heart-Severing Sword. If one’s cultivation wasn’t enough, even a brief glance into her eyes might freeze one’s very soul!
Ye Xiyue spoke, her voice ethereal and pleasant, but her tone remained unchanged, like a lifeless Spirit Corpse.
"Zhenfeng, you went to Yunling Town to investigate remnants of the Demon Sect. Did you discover anything?"
