Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 438 - : Preserving Youth Pill

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Preserving Youth Pill

“During the long half-month of my husband’s disappearance, your wife’s mind was fraught with worry both day and night,”

In the bridal chamber, atop the bed where the clouds had just cleared and rain ceased, Xu Xinlan, flushed with the afterglow of intimacy, snuggled into Wang Chen’s embrace and whispered softly, “If something truly happened to my husband, your wife would not be able to live alone.”

Her eyes shimmered with ripples, an indefinable tenderness and fragility within.

Likewise transported to an unknown region, Zuo Xiaomo managed to extricate himself from the predicament in seven days, whereas Wang Chen’s silence lasted for over twenty days—Xu Xinlan would have been a strange anomaly had she not been terrified and anxious.

Her whole being, her heart and soul, she had entrusted entirely to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen embraced her delicate waist with affection and said, “It’s not that serious, I will take good care of myself, and you must do the same.”

In the mortal world, one is not the master of one’s fate, and even within the Immortal Gates, one cannot be carefree.

Not to mention a mere Purple Mansion cultivator like him, even if he were to cultivate a Golden Core and Nascent Soul, he would still be a prisoner of this realm.

To achieve the great Dao and ultimate liberation, one must seek it in the Upper Realm!

Cultivating immortality goes against the natural order; a temporary respite cannot persist for a lifetime.

Now he had Xu Xinlan as a partner, adding yet another bond and concern.

“Mhm.”

Xu Xinlan nodded gently, “Your wife has reached the eighth tier of Qi Cultivation and is striving for the ninth tier, then to Breakthrough Mansion.”

She was well aware that being merely a tender vine clinging to a mighty tree was not enough if she wished to be by Wang Chen’s side forever.

The lifespan between Qi Cultivation and Purple Mansion cultivators differed by half, and with youth fleeting and beauty ever fading, cultivation level was indeed crucial!

“Right.”

Wang Chen suddenly remembered something.

From his Sumeru Ring, he took out more than a dozen pill bottles, “These pills are for you.”

Initially, Xu Xinlan didn’t pay particular attention, contented simply with Wang Chen’s considerate gesture.

However, when she realized the pills he gave her included not only Nurturing Origin Pill and Union Qi Pill to aid in cultivation but also Preserving Youth Pill, her eyes gleamed with surprised delight.

With Xu Xinlan’s wealth, she could afford Nurturing Origin Pills and Union Qi Pills.

But Preserving Youth Pills were different.

Preserving Youth Pills are second-tier Spirit Pills, their effect being to keep one’s appearance youthful, one pill preserving three to five years of youth.

Though Preserving Youth Pills have no direct benefits for cultivation or healing and detoxification, they are the most beloved and treasured pills among female cultivators.

There is no equal!

Due to the scarcity of ingredients and the high difficulty of their creation, there are very few Preserving Youth Pills on the market, often being snatched up as soon as they appear.

Unless one is willing to pay a high price for a custom order, someone with the cultivation level and wealth of Xu Xinlan would find it incredibly difficult to obtain even a few Preserving Youth Pills.

And now, Wang Chen had given her three bottles.

Ten pills a bottle, thirty Preserving Youth Pills in three bottles; even if one pill only had the effect of three years, that meant ninety years of eternal youth!

For Xu Xinlan, there was no better gift than this.

“Thank you, my husband!”

Xu Xinlan clung tightly to the pill bottles in her arms, like a miser hugging her treasured possessions, her whole demeanor transformed.

Wang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

He hadn’t expected the Preserving Youth Pill to be so potent, easily shattering Xu Xinlan’s composure.

He had confiscated these pills from the Mysterious Intent Taoist, and to Wang Chen, the value of Nurturing Origin Pills and Nourishing Soul Pills far outweighed that of the Preserving Youth Pills.

Of course, Wang Chen also very much understood the allure such pills held for women.

In his previous life, such a pill could fetch millions each, and there would certainly be people willing to empty their wallets for it.

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

Xu Xinlan’s pretty face blushed, and she pursed her lips, saying, “Your wife will share one bottle of these Preserving Youth Pills with Dai and Yu.”

Dai and Yu were Xu Xinlan’s personal maidservants, twin sisters who had accompanied her since they were young.

Xu Xinlan practiced the “Yin and Yang Reunion Secret Technique” with Wang Chen, drawing the two of them into it as well.

This was actually quite normal. As the senior wife, Xu Xinlan meant that Dai and Yu were naturally her concubines.

She was generous enough to give them Preserving Youth Pills, truly exhibiting the grace of a senior wife.

“Hmm,”

Wang Chen was indifferent, “You decide how to handle it, and if you run out, I’ll find more for you.”

Xu Xinlan was delighted, unable to help herself from tucking the pill bottle into her storage bag and then giving Wang Chen a kiss full of affection.

Her gentle voice called out, “Dai, Yu, come in quick!”

Two graceful figures quietly appeared in the room.

The room was filled with the warmth of spring.

By the time the passion dissipated, it had already been two hours.

Wang Chen gently removed the jade arms wrapped around his body, allowing the three exhausted women to continue sleeping deeply.

He put on his robe and quietly entered the meditation chamber.

The “Yin and Yang Reunion Secret Technique” was indeed a formidable dual cultivation technique. Since Wang Chen’s cultivation level greatly surpassed that of the three women, he had always been in the dominating position and reaped the most benefits.

At this moment, Wang Chen’s essence, qi, and spirit had all reached their peaks, leaving him without any trace of sleepiness.

He naturally wanted to catch up on his neglected cultivation while in such an excellent state.

Over the past half a month, having been exploring the unknown areas of Nine Dragons Land Palace, Wang Chen had had no opportunity to properly cultivate.

But before resuming his cultivation, he first gave himself a bonus.

Wang Chen’s Heavenly Merit had exceeded two thousand points, more than enough to add one point each to his physique and divine soul.

Because the timing was previously not right, he had refrained from doing so.

Now was the perfect time.

Without the need for choice or consideration, Wang Chen invested a thousand Heavenly Merit points each into his physique and divine soul attributes.

Two thousand Heavenly Merit points disappeared instantly as his physique and divine soul both broke through the twenty-point mark.

They both reached twenty-one points!

A sensation beyond words surged from the apex acupoint on top of Wang Chen’s head, down to the bubbling spring at the sole of his feet, purifying him as if he had undergone a bone-cutting and marrow-washing transformation.

Although only one point was added, breaking through the critical threshold of twenty points for a fundamental attribute was like transcending into a great realm.

Wang Chen’s soul was accordingly sublimated!

His body became even more robust, quickly healing the internal injuries from his hard clash with the City God Statue. His mental consciousness became sharper and clearer, with his perception abilities greatly enhanced as well.

His cultivation level might not have progressed, but Wang Chen now was definitely able to defeat his previous self without the additional points!

[Physique: 21], [Root Bone: 7], [Comprehension: 7], [Divine Soul: 21]

Looking at his current fundamental attributes, Wang Chen still wanted more.

These four major attributes had already been upgraded four times, and following the rule of tenfold increase, if he wanted to continue adding points to any attribute, it would cost ten thousand Heavenly Merit!

For a Qi Cultivation cultivator with 1-9 points of Heavenly Merit, how many would he have to defeat to accumulate enough?

It was indeed getting harder and harder.

But the enhancement of fundamental attributes was just too powerful. If Root Bone and Comprehension could each receive one or two more points, he estimated that there would be no innate barriers to breaking through Golden Core and forming Nascent Soul.

Wang Chen brought his wandering thoughts back and took out the jade box he had obtained from the Treasure Pavilion.

He wanted to see what kind of object it was that could resonate so strongly with the Creation Cauldron!
