Joyous Union Pavilion, top floor.
Under the protection of layers of soundproof array formations and several divine consciousness isolating artifacts,
Elder Yi Bailian from the White Lotus Hall and Elder Mo Zixuan from the Joyous Union Hall were sitting in front of an Immortal Ascension Platform and chatting happily.
“To think that old thing in the Alchemy Hall would be so capable to actually poison all the disciples below the Golden Core realm in the sect. He’s going to cut off the roots of the Heaven Earth Sect!”
Yi Bailian sighed.
Mo Zixuan took a sip of the spirit wine soaked in a male Cultivator’s body and smiled. “I underestimated that old thing in the past. I felt that he was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm at the end of his lifespan. He’s trash. I didn’t expect him to be more useful than the two of us in the end.”
Yi Bailian picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip of the light flower wine in it. She said calmly, “That’s why you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Her taste was not as heavy as Mo Zixuan, the demoness of the Joyous Union Hall. She could not drink that kind of thing.
Mo Zixuan finished the wine in her hand in one gulp, and her eyes were slightly intoxicated as she said, “After this matter is done, that old thing will probably soar into the sky in the future. I have to seduce him to become my husband.”
“You can even eat such an old thing. You’re really not picky about food.” Yi Bailian shook her head.
Mo Zixuan said disapprovingly, “The older the spirit ginseng, the more nutrients it has. It’s the same for humans. You don’t understand the rich smell of time.”
Yi Bailian only smiled and did not say anything.
A rich smell that had been around for a long time?
Wasn’t that the stench?
In the following period of time, the two female elders continued to drink happily, both fantasizing about reviving the glory of the White Lotus Cult and the Joyous Union Sect.
In the cave abode of the Alchemy Hall, the “stable” cave abode.
Chen An quickly lit a fire and refined a furnace of grayish-black medicinal pills.
After the pill was completed, he immediately returned to Gu Xinyue’s room and fed the poisoned wives and daughters this grayish-black pill.
Then, he fed his wives and daughters the Vitality Pill and the Energy Revitalizing Pill respectively to accelerate the recovery of the spiritual qi and blood in their bodies.
The medicinal pill entered his mouth for only a moment.
The four wives, who were originally so weak that they were about to faint, were recovering their blood color at a visible speed. Their limbs that had completely gone numb gradually regained their senses.
As for his two daughters, who had already fainted, their situation began to improve.
Before long, the two little girls opened their eyes and woke up, but they still looked a little weak.
Chen An was very concerned about his wives and daughters’ physical condition. He asked them one by one if they were feeling unwell.
His wives said that they were much better.
Chen Yuejian still felt very uncomfortable. Her voice was very weak as she said,
“Father, my head is still so dizzy…”
“Little Yuejian, don’t be afraid. You won’t feel faint soon.”
Chen An stroked her eldest daughter’s head in pain and comforted her gently. “After the Qi and blood in your body recover, your body won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”
Song Huaying’s heart ached as she hugged her daughter, Chen Yuejian. She said gently to her, “Daddy said that you won’t feel faint soon, so you definitely won’t. We have to believe Daddy.”
“Father, I’m so hungry!”
At this moment, a loud shout came from next door.
It was called by the silly daughter, Chen Yi Ke.
She had recovered much better than her sister. She looked much more energetic and roared at her old father.
Before Chen An could respond, Gu Xinyue smiled and said, “What do you want to eat, Yi Ke? Mother Gu will go to the kitchen to cook for you now.”
Wen Zhiyun’s expression changed when she heard that. She immediately stopped her. “Silly Yue’er, have you forgotten that we probably ate the wrong thing and were poisoned? You still dare to go to the kitchen to cook?”
“Sister Wen, I was inconsiderate.”
When Gu Xinyue recalled this, her face was filled with apology.
Seeing this, Jiu Ji took out a large box of spirit cakes from her storage bag and handed it to Chen Yi Ke with a smile.
“Little Yi Ke, this is what Mother Jiu has not eaten before. If you’re hungry, eat this to fill your stomach first.”
“Thank you, Mother Jiu!”
Chen Yi Ke took the box and thanked her with shining eyes.
Then, she impatiently opened the box, picked up the spirit cake inside, and stuffed it into her mouth.
She wolfed down the food. It looked very delicious.
Chen Yuejian was hungry from watching. She raised her head slightly and looked at Song Huaying. She said weakly, “Mother, 1 want to eat spirit cake too.”
When Wen Zhiyun heard this, she immediately took out a piece of spirit cake from the silly daughter and handed it over with a gentle smile.
“Little Yuejian, you must be hungry. Come, try this snow lotus-flavored spiritual cake.”
“Thank you, Mother Wen.”
Chen Yuejian took the spirit cake and revealed a pitiful smile. She was so beautiful that any man would be dazed when they saw her.
When Chen An saw his eldest daughter’s charming smile, he could not help but feel emotional.
Her daughter, who was only a little girl back then, had already grown into a little beauty.
Time really passed quickly.
As he lamented the passage of time, Shen Qingyi asked him curiously, “Husband, what kind of spirit pill did you refine just now? How did you detoxify the poison so quickly?”
Chen An replied, “What I’m refining is not a spirit pill at all. It’s just a relatively rare Level 3 medicinal pill. It’s not valuable or difficult.”
After saying that, he changed the topic and said, “Of course, because the poison can be cured now, this medicinal pill has obtained the corresponding value.”
Seeing that he could not get to the point after a long time, Song Huaying could not help but pout her red lips slightly. She rebuked, “Husband, can you stop keeping us in suspense? You’re so annoying.”
Seeing that his wives were all very curious, Chen An did not keep them hanging.
He organized his words and explained to them as simply as possible, “Actually, you’re not poisoned at all. It’s just that the Lethal Acupuncture Point in your bodies has been activated.”
“We all know that acupuncture points are the juncture of the flow of spiritual qi and blood. Without them, we can’t mobilize the spiritual qi and blood in our bodies.”
“The Lethal Acupuncture Point is a relatively special acupuncture point in a living being’s body. It’s at the highest point of the living being’s body.”
“Under normal circumstances, the Lethal Acupuncture Point is sealed. It doesn’t participate in the flow of spiritual qi and blood. It’s useless to living beings.”
“No, it’s a little flattering to say that it’s useless.”
“The truth is that in many cases, the Lethal Acupuncture Point is harmful to living beings.”
“The Lethal Acupuncture Point is not always sealed. Under certain special circumstances, a gap will be opened.”
“As it’s only opening a gap and not directly opening it at both ends, this will cause the spirit energy and blood qi that flows through it to be swallowed by it and unable to circulate in its body.”
“But fortunately, the Lethal Acupuncture Point will only open for a short period of time. It will quickly close itself.”
“And the so-called poisoning you mentioned earlier was actually the Lethal Acupuncture Point in your bodies being forcefully opened, causing your spiritual qi and blood to be completely devoured by the during the circulation process. Then, there was inevitably a problem with your bodies.”
At this point, Chen An smiled and said, “So, the antidote I gave you just now is actually a medicinal pill used to seal the Lethal Acupuncture Point.”
After hearing his explanation, Shen Qingyi and Jiu Ji were enlightened.
As for the remaining wives and daughters, they did not understand and did not understand.
“Husband, according to you, doesn’t this poison have no effect on Cultivators above the Golden Core realm?”
Shen Qingyi asked this question.
As a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she understood that one of the necessary conditions to reach the Golden Core realm was to open the Lethal Acupuncture Point in her body and let it participate in the circulation of spiritual qi.
Chen An snapped his fingers and smiled. “Good question. Just as you thought, this poison only works on Cultivators below the Golden Core realm.”
“Husband, why are we poisoned for no reason?”
Wen Zhiyun asked in confusion.
Chen An replied with a solemn expression, “Not only you, but all the disciples below the Golden Core realm in the sect have been affected.”
Hearing this, his wives were all stunned.
Was the entire sect affected? That bad?
Shen Qingyi was more perceptive. The moment she heard this, she asked, “Husband, you mean that someone deliberately poisoned everyone?”
Chen An nodded and said, “Yes, if I’m not wrong, someone must have added something to the sect’s water source that can open the Lethal Acupuncture Points in the body. However, 1 haven’t been able to find out what it was.”
At this moment, Song Huaying suddenly said excitedly, “Husband, when you came back from the Alchemy Hall previously, you said that the people from the Alchemy Hall were helpless against this poison.”
“And now, you’ve successfully resolved the poison that harmed the entire sect disciple by yourself.”
“Husband, you’ve made a great contribution!”
At this point, Song Huaying’s excitement had already turned into excitement. She began to fantasize about her beautiful life after becoming the Elder’s wife.
The other four wives, including the young Chen Yuejian, were also excited.
Compared to them, Chen An was much more rational.
He knew very well that the tallest tree attracts the most wind. He did not want to be too ostentatious, so he did not plan to take this credit.
However, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to reap benefits.
Therefore, after much consideration, he decided to give this credit to the Holy Maiden and then seek repayment from her in a low-key manner.
As he thought about it, he took out the voice transmission talisman and contacted the Holy Maiden. He said calmly, “Holy Maiden, I have to speak to you urgently. It’s very important.”
“What is it?”
Ning Xian’er’s voice quickly came from the voice transmission talisman. She sounded a little puzzled.
Chen An said seriously, “Holy Maiden, I have to tell you this in person..”
