Chapter 279: How Could There Be Such an Improper Elixir in the World
Wang Qingya moved out.
Of course, maybe it was the deliberate care of Pavilion Master Zhang Zhiheng. Su Huanqing's residence was very close to Wang Qingya's room, so close that Wang Qingya could take care of Xu Lingjun at any time.
Clearly, it was a time full of deep affection.
But Xu Lingjun couldn't afford to indulge in romance at this moment. The previous surprise attack by the Cuowu Sect had sparked a long-lost sense of crisis in his heart.
His strength was indeed very strong.
Among the younger generation, he was almost invincible, but what of it... In a battle, it's not like you can declare your strength, the years you've been cultivating, and then divide to see whose efficiency is higher and who wins.
Others have trained for decades longer than you, so they are stronger than you. There is no reason to dispute that.
Xu Lingjun understood his own limitations. If he faced a martial artist in the Profound Realm, it would not be difficult for him to protect himself, and escaping would be easy... But to counter-kill would be extremely difficult.
The Nine Profound Realms, each realm is a world apart.
The gap is not so easily bridged...
If he does not want to expose his trump card, he must quickly increase his strength to deal with Wu Hongzhou's power.
And ironically, just as he was getting sleepy, a pillow was delivered.
"Reversed Tao Qiankun."
The Divine Demon Level Technique, "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," was indeed miraculous; he had already begun gradually developing its wondrous abilities.
And although the Supreme Level Martial Skill wasn't as advanced as Xu Lingjun's Divine Demon Level Technique, both Li Jingjun and Han Yun City clearly demonstrated to him that the Supreme Level Martial Skill could undoubtedly allow Xu Lingjun to gain the strength to fight beyond his level.
Therefore, during this period, he almost sealed himself at home, earnestly contemplating the mysteries of "Reversed Tao Qiankun."
What kind of miracle would it be if the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" was used to drive "Reversed Tao Qiankun"?
What kind of wonderful transformations could be extended by incorporating "Reckless and Irresponsible" into it?
Xu Lingjun didn't know, he could only slowly ponder with deep thought, whether it was the Supreme Level or the Ultimate Level, it was undoubtedly too difficult for him now.
Unfortunately, he could only comprehend it himself and couldn't seek reference from anyone else, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain the existence of "Reversed Tao Qiankun."
Although Wang Qingya didn't know exactly what happened, she could see the worry in Xu Lingjun's mind... In these few days, she not only helped decline several invitations from Zhong Yuebai to Xu Lingjun but also prepared delicious meals for him every day.
She even took care of the two Ice Snow Leopards, making them chubby.
Following the husband after marriage.
Although the two hadn't had a proper ceremony, Wang Qingya inherently had the qualities of a virtuous wife and good mother, taking care of Xu Lingjun as if he had become a useless person who didn't know how to do anything.
It was as if she had arranged the best rearguard for Xu Lingjun, allowing him to have no worries at all.
This really took Su Huanqing by surprise, as she initially thought the two would be having a merry time every night, but who would have thought that Xu Lingjun could be so serious when it came to important matters...
"What, feeling regretful that there's no corner to eavesdrop?"
Wang Qingya could tell what her best friend was thinking just by looking at her expression and joked, "Should I record a video for you next time, a live broadcast to entertain you?"
Su Huanqing said seriously, "No need, I'm a good woman, not interested in live-action spring palaces."
"Nonsense, you were the one finding the videos before. As a top research expert, I didn't even know where to search for those... And now you're pretending to be innocent?"
"How can you, a housewife, have the nerve to call me, a young girl, out for pretending? Besides, what's wrong with watching those videos? I watch them purely with a learning attitude to understand the differences between genders. It's perfectly justified for someone like me, a professor, to learn in this field, unlike you, with a guilty conscience, seeing everyone as crooked while I'm pure of heart..."
"Xiaojun didn't tell me about that incident with the lingerie~"
Wang Qingya said with a mischievous smile.
Su Huanqing's pretty face immediately turned red, and she fell silent, not daring to argue with Wang Qingya anymore.
She really couldn't figure out if Wang Qingya was serious or just teasing her.
To sever the relationship entirely? She really wasn't willing.
A man so handsome and excellent, and most importantly not just a pretty face, but truly strong and outstanding from the inside out.
What woman could refuse such a man?
But if she really had thoughts, and Xiaoya was joking, wouldn't that mean losing her?
For Su Huanqing, who regarded Wang Qingya as a fantasy object for a long time, although men are important, her long-standing relationship with Wang Qingya is naturally more important.
She could only take it slowly and let nature take its course.
Time flowed quietly just like that.
In the blink of an eye...
Half a month had passed.
During the whole half month, Xu Lingjun had become more haggard compared to usual, yet even with a beard and scruffy look, he didn't appear unattractive. Instead, he exuded an aura of a melancholic gentleman and charm...
It made Wang Qingya feel a pang of heartache.
That day, Xu Lingjun left the room early.
She asked with concern, "How are you?"
"It's very frustrating, like trying to unravel countless threads. I feel like I've caught the line, but even if I have the end, it's still a dead knot that can't be untied. I might need a flash of inspiration."
Xu Lingjun sat on the sofa, a bit troubled, and sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the cultivation technique I'm practicing is quite high-level, which has broadened my horizons significantly, I'm afraid with my current strength, I wouldn't be qualified to comprehend martial skills of this level at all."
"Don't be in too much of a hurry; you're only eighteen, just stepping onto the path of adulthood. You can't achieve everything at once; haste makes waste."
Wang Qingya laid Xu Lingjun down, letting him rest his head on her lap. She gently massaged his temples and said, "So why did you come out now?"
"Just received a text message; the Pavilion Master and the others have arrived."
Wang Qingya was surprised, "Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion?"
"Don't forget, I came here to receive honors."
Speaking of this, a slight shadow appeared in Xu Lingjun's eyes. Though he had been immersed in comprehending martial skills during this period, he had also been keeping an eye on the news and knew that the two perpetrators from Longchang Street had not been caught.
Not even their identities had been determined, as if they had disappeared without a trace.
But Xu Lingjun knew...
This involved the Supreme secret technique of the Cuowu Sect—they wouldn't give up easily.
"By the way, Sister Yaya."
Xu Lingjun felt the soft~ness beneath the back of his head, opened his eyes, but instead of seeing Wang Qingya's charming face, he was met with peaks so close they blocked most of his vision.
He reached out to part them and looked at Wang Qingya.
Xu Lingjun still preferred talking face to face. He asked, "The medicines I asked you to investigate for me, any progress?"
"Yes, most of them have been identified."
Wang Qingya playfully swatted Xu Lingjun's hand away, then handed him a note from her pocket.
Her eyes held a strange expression, her words vague and unclear: "I think some of these elixirs you don't actually need... I'm already trying my best... If you take that sort of thing again, I'll die."
Xu Lingjun gave Wang Qingya a puzzled look, not quite understanding her meaning.
He had acquired many precious medicines from Marquis Xia Wu's legacy; his Talent Source only helped him learn their names, but their specific effects he was still unclear about.
Considering the countless elixirs within the Great Xia Empire, even the most proficient alchemist might not know them all.
So these past few days, he entrusted Wang Qingya to help check them out.
Without a doubt, Wang Qingya never disappointed him.
He took the paper she handed over, opened it, and started reading.
Each small line of neat handwriting was carefully transcribed by Sister Yaya.
Every elixir was accompanied by detailed notes.
Yang Spirit Liquid: Nourishes the spirit and boosts qi, can greatly enhance the user's essence, qi, and spirit; alleviates fatigue, calms the mind.
Essence Supplement Pill: Nourishes yin and yang, strengthens essence and kidney, can solidify the lower body for a long time but may cause some harm after it subsides, use cautiously for males.
Barrier-Breaking Pill: Helps martial artists break through their current realm, can only be used once in a lifetime. The higher the realm, the greater the hidden dangers. Recommended for use in earlier stages.
Hundred Herbs Pill: Can detoxify all toxins except those that invade the nerves!
............
The annotations of various elixirs and herbs prove Wang Qingya's thorough effort.
Yet Xu Lingjun's expression turned odd; Sister Yaya had made her point clearly.
Essence Supplement Pill.
How could there be such an indecent elixir in this world?
Moreover, Marquis Xia Wu cherished it like this...
How could it be? How could any martial artist need such an elixir?
It would be too shameful for a martial artist.
He glanced up at Wang Qingya, only to find her gazing at him with moist and glistening eyes, lips lightly bitten, carrying a slight... seemingly silent reproach for why he needed such an elixir.
Xu Lingjun's breath suddenly quickened; the days of abstinence had made him a bit expectant.
His hand reached up once more.
This time, Sister Yaya didn't resist.
