64: The ailing chieftain of Tushan! He needs to refine a miraculous elixir!
Skinny Egg's expression froze. He turned to look at Fat Ball in disbelief.
Fat Ball also opened his eyes at this moment and immediately saw Skinny Egg's face.
He had been murmuring unconsciously just now and didn't know what he had said. Upon seeing Skinny Egg, he immediately hugged him and burst into tears.
"Skinny Egg, my good brother, I almost thought I wouldn't see you again!"
Skinny Egg couldn't react, pushed him away, and started cursing.
Fat Ball was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly went to cover Skinny Egg's mouth.
The Thin Dharma Protector and the Fat Dharma Protector immediately started arguing again.
Xu Qing didn't stop them and turned to continue refining Spirit Pills.
Three Spirit Pills probably wouldn't be enough to cure Fat Ball's injuries; he needed to refine two more batches.
With the experience from the first time, plus his Divine Ability's profoundness, both batches of Spirit Pills were successfully refined.
He threw the Spirit Pills to Fat Ball, who was currently being choked by Skinny Egg.
"Send some minor demons to the three borders with Tushan to monitor the movements there."
Leaving that instruction, he put away the Pill Furnace and the herbs on the ground, then turned and left... Tushan.
Tushan Yiyi found her fellow clan members, and after confirming that their lives were no longer in danger, she sent them back to the depths of Tushan.
Handing the unconscious clan members over to other fox demons for care, she quickened her pace.
Tushan is vast, spanning over four hundred li.
Tushan Yiyi galloped all the way, taking some time to reach her destination.
She stopped. In front of her appeared a crystal-clear pond, sunlight shining, water rippling, like a blue gem embedded in the jungle.
Several wooden houses stood by the pond, their outer walls covered in fresh flowers.
The fragrance of flowers wafted over, and spirit butterflies danced by the pond.
Tushan Yiyi tidied her clothes, took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, and then walked towards the wooden house.
"Young Miss is back!"
"You're finally back! The Clan Chief just woke up and has been wanting to see you!"
Two beautiful women with fluffy fox ears on their heads pushed open the door and were overjoyed to see Tushan Yiyi.
"Sister is awake!?"
A hint of pleasant surprise appeared in the fox's charming eyes.
The young girl rushed into the wooden house, heading straight for the large bed in the center of the room.
On the bed, piled with several layers of soft fur, lay a pale-faced woman.
The woman's face bore some resemblance to Tushan Yiyi, the biggest difference being her pair of azure blue eyes.
Aside from that, both had equally delicate and flawless features.
Another difference was in their temperament: Tushan Yiyi was cold and alluring, while the woman was graceful and elegant, appearing much more mature.
"Sister!"
The coldness on Tushan Yiyi's face vanished. She half-knelt, leaning her upper body beside the woman, her eyes slightly red.
She could feel that her sister's aura had weakened even further.
If this continued, her sister... would truly leave her!
At this thought, Tushan Yiyi felt a pang in her heart and subconsciously clutched her chest.
Her hand covering her chest immediately revealed some torn clothing underneath.
The woman on the bed looked down and her expression changed.
"Yiyi, what happened?" she asked softly.
Tushan Yiyi hastily stood up, wanting to fabricate a lie, but seeing those azure blue eyes, she felt a wave of guilt.
"Don't try to lie to your sister," the woman said, pointing at Tushan Yiyi's hand. "You always fidget with your clothes when you lie. I watched you grow up, don't I know you?"
The woman's voice was as gentle as the evening breeze, yet it made Tushan Yiyi dare not lie anymore.
She lowered her head and recounted everything that had happened in detail.
Hearing that humans were capturing fox demons, a trace of anger appeared on the woman's face.
Hearing that Tushan Yiyi had intervened to rescue her kin, she showed a relieved and satisfied expression.
When she heard that Tushan Yiyi was besieged and fell into danger.
Even though she knew her sister must have escaped successfully to return, the woman's hand couldn't help but grip the bedding tightly.
Then.
She heard that a Green Snake appeared, crushing and killing those humans, helping Tushan Yiyi escape the trap.
The woman let out a long sigh of relief, then reacted, her face filled with surprise.
"A snake demon saved you? And it came from the depths of Black Wind Mountain?"
"Yes!" Tushan Yiyi nodded. "So that place is called Black Wind Mountain. Why did you only tell me now, Sister?"
"That is an inauspicious place." The woman's Liu Mei furrowed, and worry appeared on her face.
After a moment of contemplation.
The woman seemed to have made a decision.
"Yiyi, I have something to tell you."
She grasped Tushan Yiyi's hand and said, "I'm afraid I won't make it through this time, Sister..."
"Sister! What are you saying!" Tushan Yiyi's eyes turned red, and she interrupted the woman, "Isn't that Black Bear Spirit just coveting our beauty? I'll marry him in exchange for his Spirit Medicine for you, Sister!"
"Absolutely not!"
The previously weak woman's voice suddenly grew louder, and a hint of anger appeared in her azure eyes.
"Have you forgotten how I taught you?"
"Our clan must never exchange things for our beauty!"
"Quickly dismiss that thought. Promise me, Sister, that you will never do that, otherwise I will not rest in peace."
After the woman finished speaking, her face became even paler, and she collapsed weakly onto the bed.
A clear tear fell from the corner of Tushan Yiyi's eye. Facing the woman's azure eyes, she could only nod gently.
"Yiyi, after I'm gone, you must lead our clan members to survive. They need your protection..."
The woman's earnest teachings echoed in the room.
Tushan Yiyi knelt by the bed with her head bowed, listening silently, just as her sister had taught her rules when she was young... Taihang Mountains.
Xu Qing returned to Taihang Mountain Peak and immediately set up a Pill Furnace and numerous Spirit Medicines and spirit fruits outside his nest.
Bai Ling and Liu Mei poked their heads out and walked forward curiously.
"Husband, are you... refining pills?" Bai Ling asked, somewhat shocked.
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Once I'm proficient, I'll refine some Medicinal Pills for you. They can increase Lifespan, and at the very least, they can increase some Cultivation Level."
Bai Ling knew the difficulty of Alchemy; ordinary beings simply didn't have such talent.
But at this moment, it was her husband who was going to refine pills, so she subconsciously didn't doubt it and was immediately somewhat shocked.
Mysterious spells and setting up Formations were one thing, but her husband could also refine pills?
What else couldn't he do?
"Husband is truly amazing." Liu Mei was already used to it and praised him directly.
Xu Qing spoke a few words to his two wives, then immersed himself in refining Spirit Pills.
Bai Ling and Liu Mei were pregnant, and what they needed most now were Spirit Pills to replenish their Origin Qi essence.
So he planned to start from this aspect, refining a Spirit Pill that could strengthen the foundation, consolidate the Origin, and replenish vital essence.
He performed the Art of Ingestion, and under the blessing of his Divine Ability, various methods immediately appeared in his mind... The third update will be sent later.
