[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer, 477/1000]

[Skills: Second Tier Alchemist, 1/500]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (320/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (327/1000)]

The next day, morning.

Qin Gengyun checked his attributes.

Last night, there were still five sessions of dual cultivation, plus the 24 points gained from six two-hour periods of training during the day, now the progress of the Fourth-Layer was about to be halfway.

Another fourteen days would break through to the Fifth-Layer.

Several times faster than expected.

Qin Gengyun sat up from the bed, at this time, Qiu Zhihe was no longer by his side. He walked out of the bedroom and saw Liu Su slumped lifelessly over the table.

Apparently, she was dragged up early by Qiu Zhihe for training again.

Seeing Qin Gengyun, Liu Su suddenly pointed at him and laughed loudly:

"Son-in-law, why is your face swollen? Hahaha!"

"..." Qin Gengyun sat down with a dark face: "I accidentally tripped last night."

Last night, he kissed Qiu Zhihe, and was slapped off the bed.

Although the two acted as husband and wife daily, they never undressed, and apart from necessary contact, there was no other bodily interaction.

Let alone intimate interactions like holding hands, hugging, or kissing that loving couples would do.

Their relationship was strange, jumping directly to the final step but lacking the intimacy of a gradually affectionate young couple.

Qin Gengyun wanted to be closer to Qiu Zhihe, to enter her heart. Last night’s forehead kiss was a test.

Who knew Qiu Zhihe would react so strongly.

Though afterward, they had their usual routine five times, it seemed more like a formality, and afterward, Qiu Zhihe turned her back and went straight to sleep.

Liu Su leaned closer, took a look at his face, and burst out laughing:

"Which part of our floor is hand-shaped? Did you fall and get a slap mark? Wahahaha!"

Liu Su was truly delighted, this black-hearted man pressed her day after day, even forced the Saintess to toil for him, served him right to get hit! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Eat."

At this time, Qiu Zhihe came out from the kitchen with a bowl, Liu Su looked at it and almost drooled:

"Wow, beef noodles!"

But Qiu Zhihe placed the bowl in front of Qin Gengyun.

Liu Su pointed to her nose: "Miss, what about mine?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her: "Cook it yourself."

"..."

Liu Su was speechless for a moment, had to get up and go to the kitchen to cook noodles herself.

"These are really delicious, thank you, Zhihe."

Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe while eating noodles.

Qiu Zhihe silently watched him eat, and suddenly asked:

"Does it still hurt?"

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, raised his hand gently rubbed his slightly swollen left face, and laughed:

"It doesn’t hurt anymore, you don’t need to mind."

"I..."

Qiu Zhihe paused, and whispered:

"I am not used to it... like this."

Qin Gengyun said softly: "How about I help you get used to it?"

Qiu Zhihe gave him a glance: "How many slaps can you endure?"

Qin Gengyun smiled: "As long as it can bring me closer to my dear wife, I can endure any number of slaps!"

"Flippant!" Qiu Zhihe looked away and got up to go into the bedroom.

"Zhihe, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll cook some more noodles for you!"

Qin Gengyun called out, but Qiu Zhihe had already closed the door with a bang.

Qin Gengyun touched his face, shook his head with a wry smile. To melt the iceberg in my wife’s heart is really not an easy task!

...

Five days later.

"Son-in-law, did you fart?"

"Susu, what nonsense are you spouting again?"

"Why does it smell so bad? Damn! It’s Pill Poison!"

"Susu, get out quickly!"

Qin Gengyun and Liu Su quickly withdrew from the Alchemy Room.

Just now while refining, a foul stench billowed out from the Pill Furnace, this was the scent emitted after Pill Poison had accumulated inside.

Smelling it a few times wouldn’t do much harm, but if exposed for a long period, especially at close proximity, it’s easy for Pill Poison to enter the body.

Qin Gengyun was well aware of this, and immediately pulled Liu Su out of the Alchemy Room.

"Hey, how long has it been since the Pill Furnace was cleared of Pill Poison?"

Liu Su was quite displeased, putting her hands on her hips as she asked Qin Gengyun.

In the past, at Cyan Lotus Sect, the Saint Master’s Pill Furnace always had a designated person to clear it, she hadn’t needed to worry about it at all.

Qin Gengyun apologetically said: "Sorry, Susu, hold on, I’ll clear it right away."

Pill Poison was too overbearing, naturally, he couldn’t let Liu Su clear it, as it wasn’t her responsibility.

Immediately, Qin Gengyun took out three Ice Purity Pills, crushed them, and placed them into a bowl filled with water, stirring into a paste.

He went to the bathroom to undress, smearing this paste all over his body, and held another Ice Purity Pill in his mouth.

Back when he was afflicted with Pill Poison, he had researched relevant ancient books and actually, there were already records of how to prevent Pill Poison.

The person clearing the poison would smear themselves with the paste made from dissolving Ice Purity Pills in water, or any other Second Grade Spirit Pill that could cure Fire Poison, and have one pill in their mouth.

This would maximize the prevention of Pill Poison from entering the body.

However, a Second Grade Pill cost at least forty to sixty Spirit Stones, if done this way, one clearing by a Pill Poison Medicine Attendant would consume nearly 300 Spirit Stones.

This could buy the lives of several Pill Poison Medicine Attendants!

Which was why no Alchemist would be willing to use this method.

A low-level Medicine Attendant was merely that, once they perished, they just hired more, but Spirit Stones lost were truly lost!

Now that Qin Gengyun could earn money, being both an Alchemist and a Medicine Attendant, he was willing to bear the cost.

He dressed up, walked out of the bathroom, and Liu Su, upon seeing his face covered with paste, instantly made an ’ick’ sound in disgust:

"What are you doing?"

Qin Gengyun took a small bronze cauldron, which had a simple sealing array on its exterior.

This item was called a "Pill Poison Cauldron," used specifically for holding Pill Poison.

After clearing the Pill Poison from the furnace, it was stored in the Pill Poison Cauldron, and the toxic substance was sealed by the array, then brought to a designated place in Yunling Town for disposal; one Pill Poison Cauldron cost one Spirit Stone for processing.

"Susu, step back a little."

Qin Gengyun no longer bantered with Liu Su, his expression turned serious, Pill Poison was no trivial matter, something he was acutely aware of.

He grabbed pre-prepared gloves, took a deep breath, and entered the Alchemy Room with the small cauldron.

"Wait."

The bedroom door opened, and Qiu Zhihe emerged.

"Zhihe, don’t come over here, let me deal with the Pill Poison first."

Qin Gengyun quickly waved her away, even though he had sufficient protective measures in place, he could not guarantee he wouldn’t come into contact with Pill Poison again, naturally, he would not let his wife come near.

However, Qiu Zhihe snatched the Pill Poison Cauldron from his hand and marched into the Alchemy Room.

"Zhihe! Don’t go in there!"

Qin Gengyun was alarmed, hurriedly went after her, Qiu Zhihe moved deftly, evading his grasp.

"My cultivation technique is immune to Pill Poison."

With that, she closed the Alchemy Room door.

How could Qin Gengyun be at ease, he swiftly went to open the Alchemy Room door, but Liu Su intercepted him:

"Relax, if the miss says it’s alright, then it surely is alright."

The two of them were still in discord when, a moment later, Qiu Zhihe reemerged.

"It’s done."

Qin Gengyun examined her from head to toe: "Zhihe, are you alright?"

Qiu Zhihe handed him the Pill Poison Cauldron: "No problem, just throw it away."

Qin Gengyun took it, feeling it surprisingly heavy, and noticed there was an additional array on its surface, his eyes widened:

"Is this... the Heaven and Earth Shifting Array?"

Qiu Zhihe calmly stated: "It’s just Pill Poison, a Small Shifting Array suffices."

With that, she returned to the bedroom.

As Qin Gengyun entered the Alchemy Room, he was left stunned.

There was now an additional shifting array on the Pill Furnace as well, evidently, Qiu Zhihe had inscribed shifting arrays on both the Pill Furnace and the Pill Poison Cauldron.

Utilizing the arrays to transfer the Pill Poison from the furnace to the cauldron.

This method surpassed manual cleaning in both refinement and environmental protection.

The thing is, a tiny shifting array like this, if drawn by an Array Master, would require at least hundreds of Spirit Stones.

The key point is, Array Masters are rare, and there isn’t one in Yunling Town capable of drawing a Shifting Array!

In the Alchemy Master Realm, there’s a saying: every Alchemist dreams of marrying two wives, one who is a Spirit Plant Master and one who is an Array Master.

And my dear wife, she is both a Spirit Plant Master and an Array Master!

I must have incredible luck!
