Chapter 691 - 486: Wang Qingg Has a Request, Earth Demon? (2)

"Hello, brother-in-law,"

Wang Riyue said slowly.

"Come on, we’re all family, don’t be so formal. This is your home now."

Zheng Yi spoke.

He instructed the servants to bring over a chair for Wang Riyue.

The family had breakfast together, and Wang Yumo held the child with a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi said, "I’ve just become an alchemy apprentice. Once I master the skills, I’ll surely give you some elixirs.

Whether you want to gift them.

Or keep them for yourselves, I’m an alchemist, how could I shortchange you?"

With Zheng Yi’s command, "Thank you, master,"

Wang Qing and Wang Xue at the table were all smiles, full of joy and laughter.

Seeing Zheng Yi’s generosity, Wang Riyue felt more at ease about his previous concerns.

"Come, follow me to the study."

Zheng Yi glanced at Wang Riyue, knowing the proper etiquette was necessary as a brother-in-law.

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Just as Wang Riyue was about to move, he turned and saw his sister signaling to him, "Remember to say a few good words to your brother-in-law.

He’s a good person, he won’t leave you hanging.

I spoke to him about it yesterday."

"Thank you, sister."

Wang Riyue felt a swirl of emotions.

Since childhood, he had an average relationship with his sister, only because he had a Spirit Root and she didn’t, within the Wang Family’s environment.

The difference between having a Spirit Root or not was significant.

Originally, he didn’t hope his sister would help, but unexpectedly...

"I’ve wronged you before."

"No need to say that, we’re siblings and should help each other.

It’s just unfortunate that I lack the ability to help you much."

"Sister," Wang Riyue spoke.

"Enough said, brother-in-law is waiting in the study, we can’t keep him waiting too long."

"Understood."

Wang Riyue responded softly.

When he left the hall, Wang Qing looked content, harmonious family relations were what she desired, even if it meant sacrificing a bit.

She was willing.

...

Inside the study!

"Remember, this Spirit Condensing Pill was asked for by your sister, not me as your brother-in-law. This favor goes to your sister, understand?

In six months, I will personally hand you this Spirit Condensing Pill."

Zheng Yi got straight to the point, disliking unnecessary words.

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Wang Riyue quickly bowed.

The Spirit Condensing Pill is something only usable at the middle-stage Qi Refining realm.

In the family, it’s considered a strategic resource, those not at the middle-stage Qi Refining realm don’t even have the eligibility to exchange it, not something that can be exchanged just by accumulating clan contribution points over the years.

Besides, trying to exchange it with a middle-stage Qi Refining elder in the clan would mean owing them a favor, and their family didn’t have such connections, even with enough contribution points, it might not be obtainable.

Zheng Yi exchanged a few pleasantries with Wang Riyue, then let his young brother-in-law leave first.

After Wang Riyue had just left a while ago,

Wang Qing worriedly came running to the study.

Zheng Yi embraced Wang Qing, gently caressing her hair, and chuckled softly, "When have I not fulfilled what I’ve promised you?

In six months.

With my talent, refining the Spirit Condensing Pill shouldn’t be a problem.

Besides, didn’t you already offer compensation last night?"

Zheng Yi bent down, pressing a gentle kiss on Wang Qing’s lips.

"Master, you’re naughty."

Wang Qing teased, and in the study, it was as if "a thousand trees bloomed overnight like pear blossoms."

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

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique Spiritual Qi increased by fifty-five."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by twenty-seven."

Another round of vigorous activity.

...

In the afternoon, Zheng Yi went to the Skill Transmission Hall to receive the token of an alchemy apprentice.

Although the token was wooden, it was carved with intricate dragon and snake patterns and had an additional restriction.

With the eye of Zheng Yi, who was in the Golden Core Realm, he could naturally see that this restriction was unusual, indicating the Wang Family of Piaomiao Mountain had some foundation.

In the following days,

Zheng Yi visited the Skill Transmission Hall more diligently, each time consulting Master Zhang with questions.

Considering his current status as an alchemy apprentice, Master Zhang patiently answered all his questions.

This day, Master Zhang’s lesson ended.

He glanced at Zheng Yi, who immediately came forward to consult him.

Many envious eyes in the class were cast his way, yet they were also helpless.

The conditions to become an alchemy apprentice were enough to completely stump them.

They understood in their hearts.

Zheng Yi no longer belonged to their world.

...

Among the crowd, Wang Xing’s eyes were the most complex.

He couldn’t help but think.

If he hadn’t exchanged identities with Zheng Yi in the past.

Would they still intersect, would his cultivation now be more relaxed?

Thinking of past events, Wang Xing couldn’t help but wish he could slap himself, filled with regret.

Outside of class, Zheng Yi walked along with Master Zhang.

Master Zhang asked with a smile, "Your talent is quite good, your comprehension has surpassed my expectations, progressing rapidly.

Have you been practicing alchemy recently?"

Zheng Yi truthfully said, "I’ve refined five times, each time gaining something.

Although there were two failures in refining, the remaining three times, once I successfully refined one pill, once three pills, and another time, with luck, I refined four pills.

I’m now preparing to try refining the Spirit Storage Pill."

Zheng Yi smiled.

"Not bad, this progress indeed reflects your teacher’s flair from back in the day."

Hearing Zheng Yi’s progress in refining Spirit-attracting Pills within half a month, Master Zhang, unperturbed, praised softly, "However, compared to your senior sister Wang Miaomiao, you’re still three steps behind. Stay humble."

"Understood, Master Zhang."

Zheng Yi bowed again, his expression respectful.

After Zheng Yi left, Master Zhang was a mix of excitement, his old face flushed.

The pretense he just put up was significant, refining four Spirit-attracting Pills within half a month, Master Zhang didn’t think it was just luck. Luck is also a part of ability.

He blurted out without thinking, even though Zheng Yi was limited by his spirit root,

he could only refine pills up to the late-stage Qi Refining, which already qualified him as an official alchemist.

If he could refine a few other late-stage Qi Refining pills besides the Yellow Dragon Pill, although unable to break through the limits of a third-grade alchemist,

it would mean his life’s expertise would find a successor.

At his age, aside from his family’s descendants, what he cared about most was his alchemy skills.

And through several tests recently, he found Zheng Yi’s mindset genuinely calm. Although he possessed an Immortal Seed, he never showed any discouragement.

While others were envious and complain,

he was solely focused on research.

"Sigh."

Thinking of this, Master Zhang couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret.

"If only he had a mid-grade Spirit Root, not to mention reaching a third-grade alchemist, even inheriting my legacy, attempting to become a second-grade alchemist would hold great promise.

What a pity, it’s such a pity."

Master Zhang couldn’t help but shake his head as he spoke.

"For the past few days, husband has been with elder sister, next, it should be my turn, otherwise husband would be too biased."

...

In the courtyard of Wang Xue, the petite her bathed under a layer of moonlight.

The servants had been dismissed from the house, leaving only the two of them.

Zheng Yi naturally wouldn’t be clueless.

He stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Wang Xue’s slender waist, giving her a gentle kiss, starting with the foreplay, "These past few days have indeed been unfair to you, tonight I certainly won’t let my wife down."

Zheng Yi pressed closely to Wang Xue.

Her stunning face illuminated by the moonlight was heart-stirring, full of spring.

"Husband, I’ve missed you."

Wang Xue said softly.

Zheng Yi didn’t delay any further, flipping forward.

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

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

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

A night of indulgence.

If not for Zheng Yi’s Golden Core Body, an ordinary man in the Qi Refining realm might not be able to handle it.

The next day.

When Wang Xue and Zheng Yi appeared in the front yard,

Wang Qing and Wang Yumo cast teasing glances, the two teased, "Make sure to conserve, if anything happens to husband’s body, we might have to become widows."

"Sisters, don’t tease me, I didn’t do it on purpose.

After all, big sister kept him to herself, not letting him come to my courtyard."
