After closing the door to his room, he began to take out the heavenly treasures of the cultivation world one by one. He also took out the medicinal herbs he had brought from the Inner Martial World and placed them on the table. Then, he mixed the two together.
Hong Zhu smiled as she nestled against Xiao Chen's side. She curiously watched his movements and asked with great interest, "Husband, will you be able to quickly level up after eating these medicinal herbs? Do you want Big Sister to catch a First Maiden for you? Perhaps the medicinal herbs will be even more effective when paired with a First Maiden! "
"Why do you always want me to do that with a First Maiden? Are you addicted to it? " Xiao Chen unhappily rolled his eyes at Hong Zhu. Then, he began to rummage around the room for something.
"Husband Xiao Chen, what are you looking for? Tell Big Sister, Big Sister will help you look for it! "Hong Zhu curiously asked when she saw Xiao Chen's actions.
"I'm looking for a vessel to boil medicine in." Xiao Chen rummaged for a while but was unable to find a suitable substitute. So, he casually instructed, "Since you want to help, you might as well borrow a cauldron from the inn's waiter! After the medicine is boiled, you can drink some of it as well. It will be of great help to raise your cultivation! "
"Ah? I want to drink it too? Then do you have enough for yourself? "Hong Zhu blinked her eyes and earnestly asked," Why don't I let you drink all of it! In any case, Big Sister is already a Nascent Soul expert. It doesn't matter even if I level up a little slower. Don't I still have you to protect me? "
"It's fine. There are so many medicinal herbs. It's enough for the two of us to drink!" It was as if Xiao Chen had already seen through Hong Zhu's thoughts. He did not accept her kindness and instead rubbed her head with a confident look on his face.
"Then … Alright then. Wait a moment, I'll go borrow a cauldron." Hong Zhu curled his lips, shot a glare at Xiao Chen, walked out of the door, called over a waiter, gave him a few Spirit Crystals, and instructed him to buy a clay pot specially used to boil medicine, as well as a pot of hot water.
When everything was ready, Xiao Chen put the treasures into the clay pot one by one according to the order. Then, he condensed a Samadhi True Fire in his palm. He put the clay pot on his palm and slowly stewed it. His eyes stared at the red bottom of the pot without blinking, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Back then, when he had just been kicked out of the Xiao family, he couldn't even afford a three-hundred-yuan electric pot. If it wasn't for Ye Xiaoye's kindness and generosity in giving him a pot, he might really be at his wits' end. A hero is no man without money!
Looking back at the present, now that he had the strength, he didn't even need to use an electric clay pot. As long as he had a container, he could directly use the Samadhi True Fire to boil medicine. Moreover, he could even easily judge the time and temperature. Compared to the past, he was hundreds of times happier!
He didn't know how Ye Xiaoye and the others were doing in the martial arts world. Had they stabilized the morale of the Awakening Heaven Sect? Was everything safe and sound?
And Cheng Mengying, Tang Tang, and the others who had entered the Immortal Cultivation World with him, were they all right? Where are they all? At that moment, many beautiful figures flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
After about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, a strong medicinal fragrance drifted out of the clay pot and pervaded the whole room. It was both bitter and fragrant.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and used his divine sense to sense the efficacy of the medicine. Estimating that it was almost done, he put away the Samadhi True Fire and evenly poured the medicinal liquid into two porcelain bowls that he had prepared earlier.
After handing one of the bowls to Hong Zhu, Xiao Chen casually picked up the other bowl, brought it to his mouth, and raised his head, preparing to drink the entire medicinal liquid.
"Wait!" Hong Zhu suddenly shouted. Xiao Chen's hand froze and he lowered his head to look at her in surprise.
"That … Elder Sister is too afraid of bitterness. Husband, you should drink a little more! This medicinal liquid doesn't smell good, and I don't want to suffer so much! "Hong Zhu rolled his eyes and plausibly found an excuse.
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to respond, Hong Zhu picked up her own bowl and carefully poured a little of the medicinal liquid into Xiao Chen's bowl. When she felt that it was about right, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and drank the entire medicinal liquid in her bowl.
In truth, Hong Zhu was not some pampered little princess, nor was she afraid of the bitter taste of this trivial medicinal liquid. She simply felt that natural treasures were not easy to come by, and the gap in strength between the two of them was quite large, so it would be better for the stronger Xiao Chen to drink more!
In Hong Zhu's view, it was secondary whether she wanted to improve her strength or not. In any case, whenever something happened, it would be Xiao Chen who would be the one fighting, and there would be no need for her to do anything!
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Naturally, he understood that Hong Zhu was doing this for his own good. He gently pinched the tip of her nose and no longer tried to refuse. He raised the porcelain bowl in his hand and drank all of the medicinal liquid.
When Hong Zhu saw that Xiao Chen had drunk the entire medicinal liquid, she immediately revealed a satisfied smile and diligently cleaned up the two bowls. After that, she obediently sat down on a chair and waited for the medicinal liquid to take effect.
After a short while, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a warm sensation in his dantian, and a strange aura began to circulate in his dantian.
Xiao Chen keenly realized that this must be the effect of the medicinal liquid he had just drunk. Without delaying any further, he immediately pulled Hong Zhu to sit on the bed, and the two of them entered into a familiar state of dual cultivation.
However, contrary to Xiao Chen's expectations, perhaps because the medicinal liquid was too thick, or perhaps because too many herbs had been added, the medicinal effect was very slow to take effect. The two of them did not eat or drink, and instead cultivated wholeheartedly for two days and one night before the dual cultivation finally came to an end.
Although the cultivation time was very long, the results were still very remarkable. Xiao Chen, with the foundation accumulated from the previous cultivation, smoothly advanced to the second layer of the Mountain Opening Stage, while Hong Zhu's progress slowed down, and he only advanced to the first layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Even a man made of iron would not be able to endure two whole days of cultivation without sleep or rest. After Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu finished their dual cultivation, they were no longer in the mood to be lovey-dovey. They did not even have time to eat, and immediately fell asleep.
The two of them slept for several more hours, from dusk until the morning of the third day. Only then did they slowly recover. After waking up, they lazily lay on the bed, not wanting to get up for the time being.
Hong Zhu had helped Xiao Chen successfully advance to the next layer, and had a good sleep. At this moment, her face was glowing, and she was full of energy. She was also in a very good mood. She gently leaned on Xiao Chen's shoulder, and said with a charming smile, "Husband Xiao Chen, since it's still early, why don't we …"
"Immortal Xiao, are you awake?" Before Hong Zhu could finish speaking, Elder Nangong's impatient voice came from outside, followed by a few knocks on the door.
