Chapter 690 - 486: Wang Qingg’s Request, Earth Demon?

"How many in the Wang Clan are capable of alchemy? Even if ours are of lower grade, we still surpass them by some margin."

Zheng Yi did not continue the conversation.

Currently, they were in the Wang Family house, enjoying their hospitality; it would be inappropriate to criticize them.

Zheng Yi smiled quietly, refraining from attending any welcoming banquet.

Instead, he claimed he had family matters to attend to and needed to continue his duties at the Skill Transmission Hall.

Given this reason, these Immortal Seeds, knowing etiquette, graciously let it go.

After all, such banquets were only trivial social engagements.

They definitely did not want to offend Zheng Yi.

"Master, you really became an alchemy apprentice!"

Three women in the family.

Even Wang Yumo, who was holding a child, began speaking rapidly upon Zheng Yi’s return.

It was just after nightfall.

Seeing Zheng Yi, their expressions were filled with excitement.

"Xing’er, did you see that?"

"Your father is amazing; he became an alchemy apprentice, something few in the Wang Family accomplish.

Mother is so lucky to have married your father."

Wang Yumo happily told the child.

At this moment.

Wang Qingg and Wang Xue both focused their attention entirely on Zheng Yi.

Wang Qingg glanced at Wang Xue, her eyes pleading.

Wang Xue lowered her head.

Not out of fear of the elder sister’s authority, but because she knew to wait patiently.

Today was not her turn, but tomorrow she could have Zheng Yi to herself as her husband.

Moreover, in managing daily affairs within the household, Wang Qingg was the one in charge while Wang Yumo, having gained status by bearing a child, could formally take the reins.

Yet once the child developed a Cultivation Spirit Root.

All Wang Yumo’s attention turned to the child, leaving little room for household matters.

The child was her everything.

"Tonight, I will serve my husband well, to ease the longing of these days without him."

Wang Qingg approached Zheng Yi, gently leaning against him, wearing a playful expression.

Zheng Yi looked around; the other two women had seemingly reached a silent agreement and were nowhere to be found.

"I appreciate your effort."

Zheng Yi chuckled lightly, brushing Wang Qingg’s cheek with his fingertips, tracing them across her skin.

Wang Qingg’s eyes shimmered with allure.

The two retired to the bedroom, Wang Qingg’s clothes partially removed, before they rolled onto the bed.

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by fifty."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by thirty."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique Spiritual Qi increased by ten."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Erosion Poison Soul Cultivation Scripture Spiritual Qi increased by five."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Celestial Cloud Technique Spiritual Qi increased by twelve."

...

That night, Wang Qingg was exceptionally fervent.

After the storm.

Zheng Yi held the visibly fatigued Wang Qingg in his arms, patted her beautiful back, and softly said, "Speak openly if there’s something on your mind; we are family.

If I can help, how could I stand by and do nothing?"

Zheng Yi’s simple words made Wang Qingg’s eyes redden slightly, her heart filled with gratitude; she then poured out her concerns.

"I made you worry.

My brother’s Spirit Root is damaged, and originally it wasn’t serious, but due to insufficient family resources... I only ask that if someday you refine a Spirit Condensing Pill.

Give me one to save his damaged Spirit Root."

Wang Qingg raised her gaze.

She dared not ask for much.

Having married out, like water cast away, and Zheng Yi had already been very good to her.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Spirit Condensing Pill does not possess the effect of repairing Spirit Roots."

"But consuming the family’s Spirit Liquid alongside the Spirit Condensing Pill can fill each leakage point of the damaged Spirit Root.

The future may not hold the possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But currently, just having the chance to break through to Middle-stage Qi Refining is enough."

After Wang Qingg’s explanation, Zheng Yi roughly understood the situation with the Spirit Condensing Pill and Piaomiao Mountain’s family Spirit Liquid.

What was called repair, is not truly repairing the Spirit Root.

It merely uses these two items to temporarily patch the leaks of the damaged Spirit Root.

The Spirit Condensing Pill taken during Middle-stage Qi Refining, hinged on the word "Condensing," is highly useful for cultivators before that stage, able to restore a significant amount of leaked Spiritual Qi over time, subtly improving their condition, which is precisely what Wang Qingg was seeking.

Zheng Yi gently tapped Wang Qingg’s forehead, agreeing with a smile: "We are family, no need to be so formal.

Though it will take some time before success; I have only just refined a Spirit-attracting Pill and submitted it to the Skill Transmission Hall for evaluation.

To refine a Spirit Condensing Pill might take a year or two."

"Thank you, husband."

With Zheng Yi’s assurance, Wang Qingg felt a warmth surge in her heart, "I will certainly serve you well so you don’t tire yourself."

Wang Qingg’s eyes were firm.

Zheng Yi said no more words of encouragement; seeing her so gentle and sweet, her presence on the bed was no less than Wang Yumo’s, he closed his eyes, contentedly enjoying the moment.

Several hours later, the two gradually fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

...

The next morning, as daylight broke.

A visitor arrived at the mansion: Wang Qingg’s brother, Wang Riyue.

He waited nervously in the hall.

Originally, he didn’t think highly of Zheng Yi as his brother-in-law, but circumstances had changed, and now Zheng Yi had become an alchemy apprentice, significantly raising his status within the family.

Given Zheng Yi’s talent, producing Spirit Storage Pills and Spirit Condensing Pills would likely be within reach.

If someday he could be like a typical Wang Family member with a lower-grade Spirit Root, breaking through to Middle-stage Qi Refining, and an alchemy apprentice could refine Yellow Dragon Pill—even with slim chances—he could become a formal Alchemist within the family.

Then, even cultivators in late-stage Qi Refining would need to treat him with respect, as alchemists provide substantial resources.
