Chapter 39 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 39: Trial of the New Medicine (Third Update) Xia Yijiao received her father's command and excitedly used her newly practiced irrigation technique. A cool shower of raindrops fell on An Ruoshui's overheated skin, making her sigh with satisfaction. After a while, An Ruoshui finally regained her senses and blushed. She felt extremely embarrassed this time and didn't dare to face her two elders. Zhang Miaoyi and Tan Qier finally understood what kind of pill Xia Changge was refining but were at a loss for words. In the end, they both expressed their understanding. They were merely doing it out of curiosity! "Alright, let's get on with whatever needs to be done!" After confirming that there were no issues with the pills, Xia Changge lightly crushed the remaining twelve pills into powder. Pills of this grade were only worth gold and silver to ordinary people if sold, and they might even cause trouble. It was better to just handle them directly. Next, Xia Changge didn't look at the Heart-Corrosion Pill but instead glanced at the Longevity Pill. This was considered a barely entry-level immortal elixir. Even mortals could refine it because it wasn't difficult to make. As long as one put in the effort and time, even mortals could produce it. Xia Changge definitely had to learn how to refine it. His sister-in-law was a mortal, and it would be good if she could extend her life by ten or so years. Xia Changge couldn't trust his sister-in-law, Zhang Miaoyi, to consume a Longevity Pill made by someone else. She could only eat the one he made. "It's just something made from nourishing blood..." After taking a look, Xia Changge felt that the Longevity Pill didn't live up to its name. This pill still needed to be mixed with demon beast blood. For some reason, Xia Changge had a bold idea. That is, since he could achieve longevity now, if he were to use his own blood instead, would there be any other effects? As a "Longevity Body," his constitution was definitely different from that of an ordinary person. This made Xia Changge extremely cautious. If he wasn't careful and was discovered by the big shots, they might even take him and refine him into a human pill. "Should I give it a try?" After having this thought, Xia Changge seemed to be a bit impatient to actually do it. After all, he intended to use it on his sister-in-law, and there shouldn't be any problem if it didn't spread, right? Of course, before that, Xia Changge had to familiarize himself with the normal refining method first. Otherwise, bleeding for nothing would cause great harm to Xia Changge. For this matter, Xia Changge even specially made a trip to Yun Wang Restaurant to inquire about planting spirit rice and other similar things. "It seems like you are determined to develop your own family," Xiao Wan leisurely spoke after taking a glance at Xia Changge. She thought that Xia Changge was just talking, but she didn't expect him to be serious. Xia Changge solemnly nodded. "That's natural." Since the sect didn't accept him, Xia Changge didn't have the temperament to become an independent cultivator and struggle outside. Starting a family and farming was the best choice. "Since that's the case, then we will entrust you with our Xiao Family's 500 mu of spiritual fields!" Xiao Wan pondered for a while before giving her answer. Xia Changge was very surprised. "This... Miss, isn't this..." Xia Changge wanted to say that it was too precious. Spiritual fields were naturally different from ordinary farmland, and the majority of spiritual medicinal herbs could only grow on spiritual fields. Things like spiritual rice that could be sold in the cultivation world had to be grown on spiritual fields, which was considered authentic spiritual rice. The rice grown in ordinary farmland, even if it was planted with the seeds of spiritual rice, would only be lower-quality goods. It was rare for Qi Refining stage cultivators to buy them, and they were mostly consumed by mortals. Opening up spiritual fields required a large amount of energy. Xia Changge spent eight or nine years near Hengduan Mountains to cultivate only two mu of thin farmland. Xiao Wan shook her head. "Our Xiao Family is no longer in its early stages of development. Our business has already undergone upgrades, and the thousands of spiritual stones provided by the spiritual fields every year are no longer a priority for our Xiao Family. If our Xiao Family has enough manpower, it naturally wouldn't fall to you. Currently, the spiritual fields of our Xiao Family are only handled by guests." Xiao Wan's explanation made Xia Changge suddenly understand. The income from the spiritual fields wasn't worth much to the Xiao Family anymore. For ordinary families, as long as they had enough servants, it was easy to manage their spiritual fields. But the true population of the Xiao Family was only the mother and daughter, with no third generation. Xia Changge wasn't sure if there were any other branches of the Xiao Family, such as Xiao Yun's siblings. They were lacking in manpower, so it was normal to distribute them. "But, can you manage these spiritual fields?" Just as Xia Changge was anticipating the annual income of hundreds or even thousands of spiritual stones, a remark from Xiao Wan brought him back to reality. Xia Changge's attached family was still too weak and couldn't afford large responsibility. "You're greedy again, craving for blood?" After learning about the plantation industry, Xia Changge naturally returned to the main topic and went to buy demon beast blood. Upon hearing Xia Changge's slip of revealing a secret, Xiao Wan thought Xia Changge had a blood addiction and wanted to drink blood. Xia Changge shook his head and didn't conceal it. "I took in a disciple who is fairly good at pharmacology. Although she only has Five Elements Spiritual Roots, I plan to let her give alchemy a try. I'll play around with it as well. Refining the Longevity Pill requires demon beast blood." After hearing this, Xiao Wan shook her head repeatedly, thinking that Xia Changge was simply delusional. "In our Huaying Immortal Town, we don't even have a single alchemist, even the simplest ones. They're all those who couldn't make it in Yun'an Immortal City. If you can really succeed... hehe." This "hehe" didn't carry any mockery; it had a deeper meaning to it. It was as if Xiao Wan was threatening Xia Changge. If you truly become a real alchemist, then you won't be able to escape from the Xiao Family's grasp. "Go ahead, I'll give it to you for free. Take a demon beast with you. Remember, cultivation is the king." Xiao Wan lightly said. This can also be considered a small investment for the Xiao family. "Thank you, Miss, for your guidance. I also want to cultivate, but there's no way for me to break through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining for now." Xia Changge took the opportunity to probe Xiao Wan's tone. The Xiao family was the first Foundation Establishment stage force Xia Changge had come into contact with, and they had Foundation Establishment techniques. If he could obtain these techniques from the Xiao family, it would be perfect. "Hehe, when you manage to get together with my Third Sister, breaking through to Foundation Establishment will be no problem. My mother is particularly eager for there to be another Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in the family." Xiao Wan leisurely replied as she admired her exquisite jade finger. Xia Changge thought to himself that this thing really wasn't easy to obtain. "Miss, you've been in the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining for many years. There shouldn't be a shortage of Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivators in your family. Why don't the seniors help you break through?"
