### Chapter 143: Su Mo’s Liquid Elixir - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

### Chapter 143: Su Mo’s Liquid Elixir Upon hearing Su Mo suddenly bring up the topic, Fa Hai's face revealed a look of guilt. "Shameful, truly shameful." "Master Su, you may not know, but that black bear spirit is the son of the guardian deity of Mount Luojia, who is under the Bodhisattva Guanyin." "Though I have spent my life vanquishing countless demons." "This is the first time I’ve encountered such an issue..." "The specifics, I cannot disclose, but I can say this: whoever killed that black bear spirit cannot escape karma." With those words, Fa Hai fell silent. Within Su Mo’s heart, however, waves of astonishment surged. Oh my. Could it be? A mountain guardian deity? Isn't that the black bear spirit from Journey to the West's Guanyin Temple? It seems having a powerful backing truly allows for impunity. Furthermore, if the black bear spirit exists, does that mean Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and other mythical figures do too? No. Since Bai Suzhen and Fa Hai have already appeared, encountering these mythical characters shouldn't be surprising. Just as Su Mo was pondering, Fa Hai continued speaking. "However, recently, I have heard that the black bear spirit has already been dealt with by Liao Ming and his group. It seems that despite significant backing, heaven’s justice prevails." "Even if Liao Ming bears this karma, the Buddha will bless him." Upon hearing that, Su Mo started to silently criticize. By now, it’s highly possible that monk Liao Ming has already been slain by Nangong Liuli on his return to report. As for reincarnation. Even if it truly exists, what does it matter? Would Liao Ming still be the same Liao Ming then? Reflecting on this. Su Mo then rose to his feet. "Thank you, Elder Fa Hai, for telling me all this." "If that’s the case, I won't disturb you any longer." "Farewell!" With that, Su Mo left the meditation chamber without another word. Seeing Su Mo depart, Fa Hai did not try to stop him but secretly felt a sense of regret. At this moment, an image flashed in Fa Hai's mind. The physician he had seen in the town earlier, who was also deeply connected to Buddhism. Maybe. He ought to try converting him… — After Su Mo left Jinshan Temple, he hurried with all his might, the scenery around him blurring past as he sped away. Yu Luonang emerged from Su Mo’s chest, her expression filled with worry. "My lord, that black bear spirit has such big connections." "Could this implicate you?" Hearing Yu Luonang's concern, Su Mo himself was uncertain. After all, he had given that jade token to monk Liao Ming and his group. But to ease Yu Luonang’s worries, Su Mo feigned indifference. "It's nothing." "Don’t worry." "I wasn’t the one who killed the black bear spirit." "There's no way it could backfire on me." "Mm, indeed." Yu Luonang pondered for a moment, concluding the same. Yet, she still offered a solution to Su Mo. "But my lord, if things truly turn dire, I can take you to escape to the Grand Zhou." "I know a place that conceals heavenly secrets." "Nowhere even the immortals can find you." Hearing this, Su Mo felt a warmth in his heart. "Yu Nian, rest assured, it’s fine." "Let's go!" "Okay!" — After the time of an incense stick burning, Su Mo returned to the Liu residence. At this hour, the residence was brightly lit, with two large red lanterns hanging at the entrance. Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing were leaning against the door, awaiting Su Mo. Upon seeing Su Mo’s return, the two women quickly approached him. "Master Su, you’re back." Seeing the two still waiting for him, Su Mo strode forward. "Yes, I’m back." "What are you doing out here? It’s windy outside, let’s head inside." Bai Suzhen approached with a concerned gaze, her clear eyes full of worry. "Master Su, I overheard your conversation with Fa Hai." "I was so worried that you might be swayed by Fa Hai’s words to enter monastic life." Hearing Bai Suzhen's concerns, Su Mo reassured her. "How could that be?" "Miss Bai, you’re overthinking." "Do we still have food?" "I’m quite famished." "Yes, it’s all kept warm, perfect timing for your meal..." — After eating, Su Mo was assigned a guest room to stay in. Having drunk a fair amount, Su Mo was slightly tipsy. Lying down, he pondered over what his next steps should be. "Yu Nian, does the Yin-Yang Bazaar have any life-extending or anti-aging elixirs suitable for ordinary people?" "The most important thing is they must have no side effects." Hearing his question, Yu Luonang transformed into her human form, cuddling against Su Mo. While gently stroking Su Mo's chest, she pondered. "My lord, is this for Huang Qingwan and Xu Miao Yin?" "There are some, but they are very costly and not very effective." "Especially the anti-aging elixirs." "Even the most basic anti-aging elixirs are seldom available." As Yu Luonang spoke, her hands roamed fondly over Su Mo’s body. Seeing her behavior, Su Mo pulled her into his embrace, feeling delighted and content. Yu Luonang, though having a slight frame, was quite voluptuous. Her body felt luxuriously soft in his arms. Subsequently. Su Mo revealed his thoughts. "They can’t cultivate, so I must find a way for them to extend their lives and preserve their youth." "Even if it is expensive, there is no choice." Upon hearing Su Mo's determination. Yu Luonang’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. She leaned in to whisper something to Su Mo. "Hmm?" "Is that really possible?" "Of course!" Yu Luonang’s assurances left Su Mo both skeptical and curious. Just moments ago. Yu Luonang had introduced him to a Daoist secret technique. A method to artificially create a liquid elixir. It begins with meditation, then guides the blazing Yang energy within him into the upper dantian. When Yang reaches its peak, it gives birth to Yin, forming sweet dew in the upper dantian, which then travels via the Kidney Meridian to the mouth. This step is known as Jade Fluid Returning to the Elixir. Next, he should press his tongue against the palate. Thus, the Jade Fluid descends into the central dantian, nurturing, and forming innate true essence, which subsequently travels through the meridians into the lower dantian. Naturally forming a liquid elixir. With Su Mo's constant source of blazing Yang energy, the liquid elixir can be produced eternally. The quality of a liquid elixir begotten by the blazing Yang energy is excellent. With prolonged consumption, not only can it extend life, but it also beautifies and preserves youth. As for its mode of consumption. By mouth. With Yu Luonang’s explanation, Su Mo was eager to try. Following Yu Luonang’s method, he guided his internal blazing Yang energy to his upper dantian. Having simulated this many times. Su Mo was well-versed in cultivation knowledge. The area between the eyebrows is the upper dantian, beneath the heart lies the central dantian, and below the navel is the lower dantian. When the blazing Yang energy reached the brow, the previously scorching energy transformed into a cool sensation. Soon after. The blazing Yang energy turned into a fluid, appearing in his mouth. Tongue pressed against the palate. Swallowed thrice in succession. Flowing into the central dantian, it turned into a thick, unusually syrupy golden-red essence. Following a specific path. Su Mo carefully directed and guided it slowly, steadily into the lower dantian. Once successfully directed. A globule of liquid gold elixir floated within his lower dantian. Gazing upon that liquid elixir, Su Mo felt a sense of intrigue. Uncertain of the next step. Upon this, Yu Luonang’s lips parted, her alluring face descending... — — — For Su Mo, it was his first encounter with such a wondrous method of elixir-making and consumption, bringing him both mental and physical enjoyment. With this method. The issue that had long worried him could finally be resolved. After all, he possessed the “Fated Life,” meaning, as long as he continued simulating without dying, he would become invincible. In this way, his beloved companions need not worry about the trivialities of lifespan and appearance. However, this was a temporary solution rather than a permanent fix. In the future, once he obtained suitable cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm for them, they could practice cultivation. Granting them at least some protective capabilities. Otherwise, one never knows what dangers might arise. If he wasn't by their side, it could prove disastrous. While Su Mo was immersed in thoughts, Yu Luonang frowned earnestly. She had ingested the entire golden elixir... "I feel as though my cultivation and abilities have increased by several months." "Given time, I could become a formidable demon." On hearing this, Su Mo gently caressed Yu Luonang's elegant head. "Alright, from now on, I'll reward you with one each day." ### Chapter 143: Su Mo's Liquid Elixir Yu Luonang was overjoyed upon hearing Su Mo's words, immediately planting a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you, my lord!” Just as Yu Luonang was about to offer more assistance to Su Mo, she suddenly transformed into a white jade spider, darting into his hair. "Someone's coming." Yu Luonang whispered as soon as there was a knock on the door. "Master Su, it's me. Are you still awake?" Xiao Qing's voice came from outside the door. Su Mo quickly got up and put on his pants. "Yes, I’m still awake.” “It’s late. Aren’t you sleeping yet?” As he spoke, Su Mo approached the door. Upon opening it, a breeze laced with a subtle floral scent wafted into the room. Xiao Qing stood there in a sheer, flowing garment, her gaze both anxious and captivating as she looked at Su Mo. Her voice was soft, with a hint of allure. "Master Su, won’t you invite me in?" Previously, Xiao Qing always seemed displeased with him. Now, Su Mo was uncertain about her intentions in visiting him at this late hour. A sense of caution arose within him. "Perhaps not." "It's quite late, and you might not get up tomorrow…” Before Su Mo could finish, Xiao Qing slipped into his room, enveloped in a fresh fragrance. "Master Su, I simply came to chat with you." Seeing that Xiao Qing had already entered, Su Mo closed the door resignedly. "Alright." "But I’m a bit tired, so I’ll sleep after we talk." "Okay." After he spoke, Xiao Qing sat herself on a chair, propping her chin in her hands, her enchanting eyes fixed directly on Su Mo. This made Su Mo somewhat self-conscious. "Miss Xiao Qing, is there something on my face?" Xiao Qing shook her head. "No, just wanted to have a look at you." "My sister chose well, truly a dragon among men." "Now that you’ve dealt with Fa Hai, we can finally live peacefully in Hangzhou." Su Mo sat nearby. "It's nothing, really." "Fa Hai, at heart, isn't a bad person. He is just rather stubborn." Hearing Su Mo’s defense of Fa Hai, Xiao Qing pouted in dissatisfaction, adjusting her position to lean back against the chair. "Fa Hai isn't just stubborn; he’s downright obsessive." "My sister and I have never harmed anyone, yet Fa Hai won't let us be and insists on capturing us." “He says that even if we haven’t harmed anyone now, it’s not guaranteed for the future.” “Unless my sister and I return to the deep mountains.” “But there's no way it compares to the bustling and lively Hangzhou.” “Here, I've tasted things I never have and played in ways I never thought possible.” “I don't want to return to the forests, not even for a day.” Finishing her words, Xiao Qing crossed her arms, her cheeks puffed out adorably and charmingly. Seeing Xiao Qing's insistence, Su Mo could only agree. "Yes, Fa Hai can indeed be a bit excessive." "Exactly!" Hearing Su Mo taking her side, Xiao Qing suddenly held Su Mo's hands. "Master Su, you have no idea." "How overbearing Fa Hai the monk is!" “Let me tell you…” As she spoke, Xiao Qing, like a water snake, slithered into Su Mo’s embrace, draping her fair legs over his waist. Su Mo’s body went stiff, allowing Xiao Qing to cling to him. He feared Xiao Qing's intentions might be a trap to damage his reputation with Bai Suzhen. "Xiao Qing, does your sister know you’re here?" Xiao Qing shook her head. "My sister is cultivating; she doesn't know." As she spoke, Xiao Qing edged closer to Su Mo, her breath warm on his face. Seeing this, Yu Luonang was annoyed. This little vixen. She's even more brazen than me. However, Su Mo did not allow Xiao Qing to succeed, unsure of her true intentions. To avoid pitfalls. He stood up. "Miss Xiao Qing, I need to sleep now." "You should head back to rest as well." Saying so, Su Mo opened the door and escorted Xiao Qing out, removing her from his side. He then shut the door with a decisive "clang." He was no longer a novice now. In the past, he might not have been able to resist. But after encountering so many extraordinary beauties, ordinary temptations no longer affected him. Faced with the closed door, Xiao Qing doubted her own allure. Even though she couldn't compare to her sister, she was thousands of times more beautiful than any mortal woman. Why didn’t Master Su like her? Alas! After letting out a sigh, Xiao Qing turned to head back to her room, her silhouette lonely and solitary. Upon returning, she found that her sister had arrived. Standing by the doorway, dressed in white, Bai Suzhen exuded a purity and grace under the moonlight, reminiscent of a divine goddess, stirring a hint of fear in Xiao Qing. Hesitantly, she approached her sister. “Sis…” Bai Suzhen watched her timid younger sister with a resigned look. She had witnessed Xiao Qing’s actions earlier. Never anticipated her sister’s impatience. Recalling how Su Mo had extricated Xiao Qing from himself, Bai Suzhen felt amused. Yet, she maintained a stern demeanor. “Xiao Qing, do you realize your mistake?” Xiao Qing nodded quickly. “Xiao Qing is wrong!” “What was your mistake?” “I shouldn’t have tried seducing Brother-in-law.” “That’s not it!” “Huh?” Xiao Qing was confused by Bai Suzhen’s unexpected response. “Sister, then what was it?” Bai Suzhen curled her lips into a fond smile. In their past lives, the three of them shared countless days and nights, so Xiao Qing’s actions towards Su Mo didn’t matter. “Seduction doesn’t involve just flinging yourself at someone.” “Come, let me teach you…” (End of this chapter)
