Chapter 45 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 45: Xiao Xuan Seeks Alchemy Pill (Third Update: Seeking Support) Xiao Wan also felt that the rules of the Xiao family had become a bit shady. But she was not the one in control of the family, so there was nothing she could do. The main problem was that the Xiao family's own strength was lacking. If the Xiao family had several Foundation Building stage cultivators, they wouldn't have to worry about their servants reaching Foundation Building and turning against them. "You make your own arrangements. I can help you negotiate with Mother, but you still need the basic skills for pill-making." Xiao Wan herself was not as cold-hearted as her mother. This was the kind of thinking that a normal person would have, a sense of sympathy. But for the Xiao family, it was considered treacherous behavior. Xia Changge didn't have much to say. He stayed in the house for over a month, accompanying his sister, Tan Qi Er. As for the name of his own son... Xia Changge thought for a moment and decided on a name he thought was acceptable—Xia Yunqi. After all, his current status could be described as a new beginning for the family. Xia Changge stayed in the house for more than a month. Xiao Wan, the young lady, was exceptionally considerate and voluntarily provided Tan Qi Er with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts to recover. In fact, the bodies of cultivators were much better than those of ordinary people. Tan Qi Er had already made a full recovery three days after giving birth. But Xia Changge felt sorry for her and naturally took care of her for a while longer. Zhang Miao Yi was the same. In the future, she also planned to have one or two more children. When Tan Qi Er needed help, Zhang Miao Yi helped her. When Zhang Miao Yi needed care in the future, Tan Qi Er wouldn't refuse, right? Xia Changge didn't go straight to Mo City but planned to wait a while longer. There was no point in bringing her over at this time. Having a baby in the house was already troublesome enough. And if Xia Changge went, Lin Meishan would have to come as well. But Xia Changge had only had serious contact with Lin Meishan for a little over a month. It wasn't like she was his sister-in-law, who had already won a place in his heart. Let's wait and test for a while longer. Xiao Yun agreed to Xia Changge's request for alchemy. Currently, the Xiao family had a hunting team of over 30 people, which meant there were over 30 Qi Refining stage cultivators. They needed about a hundred Violent Pill every month. It was simply treating the wandering cultivators as nothing. But it was the choice of those wandering cultivators themselves, and Xia Changge had nothing to say about it. For Xia Changge, completing this task was all that mattered now. Of course, Xia Changge felt that this might be because he only knew how to refine this one type of pill. Once he learned to refine a second type of pill that was helpful to the Xiao family, the situation might be different. The tasks were gradually added up. At least, Yang Zhe had gone through it like this. Yang Zhe also learned that Xia Changge had another son and couldn't help but envy him. He didn't have the ability now. Even if he could barely do it, he was afraid he would lose the little life he had left in an instant, not worth it. "Second Miss? I wonder why Second Miss has come here. Do you have any business?" In order to avoid his future days being miserable, Xia Changge had been diligently teaching An Ruoshui lately. He not only addressed her cultivation problems but also let her try alchemy in advance. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuan, the second young lady of the Xiao family, came. It seemed that she wasn't here for a stroll. After Xiao Xuan arrived, An Ruoshui tactfully lowered her head and ran away. Xiao Xuan took out the box that Xia Changge had previously used to store the Elixir of Life from her storage bag and asked, "Is this the pill you made?" Xiao Xuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he didn't know what had caused it. Her cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining stage, level four. It was probably because her legs were disabled and the spiritual energy couldn't circulate throughout her body. If she forcibly cultivated, she might explode. Therefore, her cultivation had remained at the moment of her accident. Xia Changge recognized the box and nodded. This was the box in which he stored his high-quality Elixir of Life. Originally, Xia Changge had planned to use his own blood of eternal life to refine the Elixir of Life and give it as a longevity gift. He had considered it carefully. The Elixir of Life was just a low-level pill. Even if he refined it well, Xiao Yun and the others wouldn't care, let alone take it, because they didn't value this kind of pill at all. To take the finished product himself was also a way to show his worth. Xia Changge thought his longevity gift was probably discarded, but he didn't expect it to fall into Xiao Xuan's hands. "Can you help me refine this kind of pill in the future? I can give you spirit stones." After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Xuan appeared extremely excited. After contemplating for a moment, Xia Changge smiled and replied, "Of course, this pill is not valuable. I will refine it for Second Miss for free. There is no need to talk about spirit stones." He took on the task directly and began refining the pill for Xiao Xuan on the spot. This time, Xia Changge definitely couldn't refine a high-quality Elixir of Life. With someone with an ulterior motive watching, Xia Changge succeeded in refining it in one go. Looking at the freshly refined batch of Elixir of Life, Xiao Xuan was extremely hopeful. She took one out and swallowed it. Soon, the smile on Xiao Xuan's face disappeared, and she asked Xia Changge, "Why is this Elixir of Life different from the one I ate before?!" Sure enough, Xiao Xuan's words made Xia Changge feel relieved. He innocently replied, "This is the Elixir of Life." Xiao Xuan also corrected herself, "I know it's the Elixir of Life, but it's different from the one I ate... the one I took as a gift!" She had secretly taken other Elixir of Life before, but they didn't have the same effect as the first one. This forced Xiao Xuan to find Xia Changge. Xia Changge didn't change his tone because of Xiao Xuan's words and said bluntly, "But... I've always used the same ingredients to refine the Elixir of Life." This answer left Xiao Xuan with no way to proceed. "Second Miss, may I ask what purpose you have in seeking this kind of Elixir of Life? If the effect is the same when you take it, isn't that enough?" Xia Changge cautiously inquired. After weighing the matter in her heart, Xiao Xuan had her servant girl who had accompanied her to find Xia Changge step aside. With no third person present, Xiao Xuan whispered, "I don't know why, but I feel a slight reaction in my legs after taking the Elixir of Life. I don't think it's an illusion." "Oh?" Xia Changge was genuinely surprised by this. He didn't expect such a result. He thought it required his own cultivation technique's assistance, but now just a pill would do? "Mm, I hope you can think carefully about what might be different in the process of refining that pill. Please, if you can help me change the situation, I promise to do whatever you ask."
