"Pills?"
Tang Xinwan examined the small porcelain bottle with curiosity, then opened the cap and took a sniff. A rich medicinal aroma instantly filled the air.
Tang Xinwan was immediately bewildered, her eyes full of confusion.
It was her first time seeing someone give pills to their lover. More importantly, what were these pills for? She was perfectly healthy!
Ye Cangtian heard her and smiled, saying, "These aren't ordinary pills, but elixirs left from ancient times..."
"Ancient times? Why don't you say they were left from the creation of the world!"
"Besides, even if what you say is true, can pills that have been stored for so long still have efficacy?"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Tang Xinwan immediately rolled her eyes and cut him off decisively.
She hadn't been exposed to much, so she naturally didn't know.
Uh...
Her words made Ye Cangtian feel a deep sense of helplessness.
After a moment of thought, he took two porcelain bottles, poured out one pill from each, and said, "These two pills, one is a Rejuvenation Pill, and the other is a Foundation Building Pill. They will be very beneficial for you."
Huh?
Seeing Ye Cangtian's serious expression, Tang Xinwan was stunned. She just wanted to ask, what were these things?
Seeing her reaction, Ye Cangtian helplessly explained the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill and the Foundation Building Pill, also mentioning the Minor Return Pill.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinwan picked up the pills with curiosity and examined them carefully. She still found it hard to believe that such small pills could have such great effects.
"Try them."
Hearing his voice and seeing Ye Cangtian's expectant gaze, Tang Xinwan hesitated, but finally put the two pills into her mouth.
Regardless of whether the pills worked or not, she knew that Ye Cangtian would never harm her.
In an instant, the pills entered her stomach, and a warm current seemed to flow through her body. The feeling was extremely comfortable, and all her fatigue vanished.
"Sit down cross-legged."
Seeing Tang Xinwan looking at herself with surprise, Ye Cangtian's face showed a smile. He knew Tang Xinwan had already felt the miraculous effects.
Thinking this, he prompted her, then came behind Tang Xinwan and infused a trace of spiritual energy to help her refine and absorb the elixirs.
Originally, Ye Cangtian thought one Rejuvenation Pill would be enough, but after much consideration, he decided to add a Foundation Building Pill. The Foundation Building Pill had the effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the essence, which was very beneficial for cultivation.
Although he wouldn't force Tang Xinwan to cultivate, even so, the Foundation Building Pill would bring her immense benefits.
At the very least, her health would improve, and it would have a certain effect of extending her lifespan.
...
The first ray of morning sunlight shone into the room.
Tang Xinwan slowly opened her eyes and stretched comfortably, resulting in a crackling sound from her body.
But she ignored it. Her nose twitched slightly. The once fragrant bedroom now had a pungent, foul odor, making her feel very nauseous.
The next moment, she suddenly screamed, jumped up, and then let out another wail.
Just now, she discovered that her entire body was covered in a black, foul-smelling sticky fluid.
Women naturally loved cleanliness, and Tang Xinwan was no exception. She was so startled that she leaped up, but with some unknown strength, she made intimate contact with the ceiling.
The pain brought tears to her eyes.
"What's going on!"
"What exactly did you give me to eat? Am I going to turn into a monster!"
While rubbing her head, Tang Xinwan glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and questioned him.
"Heh heh, it seems the effect is quite good."
Ye Cangtian chuckled and continued, "My dear wife, I already told you about the effects earlier, but I think you shouldn't worry about that now. You should take a bath first..."
"You just wait!"
Hearing this, Tang Xinwan said fiercely and then rushed into the bathroom.
The most important thing for her right now was to clean herself, not to deal with Ye Cangtian.
"Heh heh..."
Watching Tang Xinwan leave, Ye Cangtian's face showed a faint smile. He wasn't worried at all. Once Tang Xinwan saw her own transformation, he would be safe.
With that thought, he left the room.
In the hall downstairs, Gu Yue and Gu Qin looked at him with questioning eyes.
Their hearing was good, and they had heard Tang Xinwan's scream. Honestly, they thought Ye Cangtian was assisting Tang Xinwan with her coming-of-age ceremony!
But now that Ye Cangtian had come out, they had clearly guessed wrong.
"It's nothing, nothing."
Sensing the gazes of the two women, Ye Cangtian chuckled and waved his hand.
A short while later, Ye Cangtian approached the two women and chatted with them.
Not long after, the doorbell rang. Gu Yue quickly got up to open the door.
The next moment, walking in with Gu Yue was a petite, slightly plump figure.
It was none other than Yao Bao'er.
Originally, Qiangwei had planned to come personally, but Yao Bao'er adamantly refused, and on the pretext of showing Ye Cangtian her results, she forcibly snatched this opportunity.
"You're here."
Ye Cangtian greeted her, gestured for Yao Bao'er to sit, and then asked Gu Yue to prepare some breakfast.
Only then did he get to the main topic. He directly took out a bag of crystals and handed it to Yao Bao'er.
On the other side, Yao Bao'er opened the bag of crystals, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Inside were at least two to three hundred small and medium-sized white crystals. Instantly, she felt her breathing become difficult.
This many crystals was much more than what the Death Squad could gather from a trip to a medium-sized ruin.
"Heh heh, thank you, Boss."
Yao Bao'er was not polite and directly put away the crystals. Then she said, "Boss, since you're so generous, I won't be stingy either. These are some new creations of mine."
As she spoke, Yao Bao'er took out several porcelain bottles and threw them directly to Ye Cangtian.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian casually opened a few bottles and sniffed them gently. A rich medicinal aroma wafted out.
He poured out some pills. The pills were round and full, with three medicinal patterns on them, clearly indicating they were not ordinary goods.
"This is..."
Ye Cangtian looked at Yao Bao'er doubtfully. He hadn't seen this kind of elixir before and had no idea of its effects, making him somewhat curious.
"I've named this elixir Spirit Gathering Pill. It can quickly restore spiritual energy."
"The other one is the Creation Pill, which can increase cultivation by a certain level, but it's not stable. How much it increases depends on one's physical condition, or perhaps luck..."
Yao Bao'er explained.
In fact, the recipes for these elixirs were derived from ancient secret scriptures.
Yao Bao'er couldn't understand the ancient scriptures, but by comparing the illustrations of the herbs, she could identify them.
Combined with her existing alchemy skills, she began to refine elixirs according to different proportions. After half a year, she finally managed to create two types of elixirs.
It was also by taking the Creation Pill that her strength greatly increased. She was no longer someone who could not even lift a chicken, and no longer relied on poisons for attack and defense.
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes widened, and he gave Yao Bao'er a thumbs-up.
Without any assistance, she had managed to successfully refine ancient elixirs. This was truly a genius among geniuses.
After all, members of the Hidden Organization had also obtained ancient texts similar to this, but so far, no one had achieved what Yao Bao'er had. At least, Ye Cangtian was not aware of anyone.
With that thought, Ye Cangtian praised Yao Bao'er without reservation.
Creak...
Just then, a door opening sound was heard.
The sound came from upstairs. Ye Cangtian immediately stopped his praise and looked in that direction.
The next moment, a slender figure, dressed in a long gown, slowly walked out.
