Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The next morning.

The white jade laboratory at the top of the Dan Tower.

Sunlight streamed through the glazed tiles of the dome, casting a warm glow over the cold room.

Jiang Yining lay flat on the large glass table.

With her hands folded over her lower abdomen, she looked as languid as a cat basking in the sun.

Gu Qinghan stood by the stage.

Today he wore a more elaborate silver-threaded medicinal robe.

His face showed no extra expression.

He was as serious as an old scholar about to dissect an ancient ferocious beast.

The most critical thing is...

He wore a pair of silk gloves as thin as cicada wings, emitting a faint blue light.

"Today's examination is to determine the limits of how well your meridians can tolerate erysipelas."

Gu Qinghan's voice was completely flat.

A businesslike tone.

"I will inject a wisp of spiritual energy, imbued with potent poison, into your heart meridian to observe the rate at which the divine tree absorbs it and the feedback path."

"There might be a stinging sensation during the process. Just bear with it."

Jiang Yining lifted her eyelids and glanced at him.

"Lord Tower Master, dressed like this, anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to breed with me."

Gu Qinghan's hand holding the silver needle suddenly trembled.

It almost pierced its own fingertip.

"Shut up!" he snapped.

Her ears were uncontrollably flushed with a suspiciously thin blush.

This woman can't say a single serious word.

"Relax. Don't resist."

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in her heart.

He extended his right hand, which was gloved with silk.

Bring your index and middle fingers together and gently press them on the pulse point of Jiang Yining's right wrist.

It feels cool to the touch.

Although shark silk is extremely thin, it has a natural chill that insulates against temperature.

Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Tower Master's hands are so cold."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her voice carrying a lazy, husky quality.

"Have you been suffering from insomnia due to loneliness for many years, to the point that your yang energy is insufficient?"

Gu Qinghan's breath hitched for a moment.

"Concentrate!" he warned through gritted teeth.

A flash of inspiration struck me.

A wisp of extremely fine black spiritual energy entered Jiang Yining's pulse point.

This is a potent poison that Gu Qinghan extracted from the Nine Nether Poison Toad.

It can kill instantly upon contact with blood.

The moment the poisonous threads entered her meridians, the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within Jiang Yining's body immediately reacted.

The divine tree that was originally lying dormant in the dantian.

Suddenly, it unfurled its purplish-gold branches and leaves.

Countless roots spread upwards along the meridians, like a group of sharks that have smelled blood, heading straight for that venomous thread.

Gu Qinghan closed his eyes and attached his divine sense to the wisp of poisonous thread, carefully observing the process of the divine tree devouring the poison.

so perfect.

The poisonous threads were instantly decomposed and absorbed the moment they came into contact with the roots of the sacred tree.

It transformed into an extremely pure wood-based life force, which nourished Jiang Yining's limbs and bones.

Gu Qinghan was immersed in this wondrous physiological structure, his consciousness continuously deepening.

Follow the arm upwards.

It passes over the shoulder and slides towards the heart.

Just as his divine sense was about to approach Jiang Yining's heart.

Jiang Yining deliberately loosened the restrictions on the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree.

"Little wood, bite him," Jiang Yining silently prayed to herself.

The roots of the sacred tree were originally obediently consuming the poisonous threads.

Suddenly, the gun was turned around.

It precisely entangled the wisp of Gu Qinghan's consciousness attached to the poisonous thread.

Not only did it entangle them.

He even took a light, extremely ambiguous... puff.

hum!

A thunderbolt seemed to explode in Gu Qinghan's mind.

Their consciousnesses were connected.

In that instant, he clearly felt a tingling sensation that was indescribable.

It was as if an extremely soft hand was climbing up his spine.

Finally, it gently scratched the depths of his soul.

"Um……"

Gu Qinghan suddenly opened her eyes.

A very low groan escaped uncontrollably from his throat.

He pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, taking three steps back.

His back slammed heavily against the medicine shelf behind him.

The bottles and jars rattled.

He was breathing heavily.

Her once fair and jade-like cheeks were now so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

A layer of mist rose in those eyes that were always as indifferent as ice.

Shock.

Panic.

There was also a slight flutter in his heart that he himself dared not admit...

"What...what did you do?" Gu Qinghan stared intently at Jiang Yining lying on the stage, his voice trembling.

Jiang Yining slowly sat up.

He straightened his cuffs.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't do anything. It's just that the Tower Master's divine sense is too sharp."

She rested her chin on one hand, her gaze brazenly sweeping over Gu Qinghan's flushed face.

"What? The Tower Master has lived for over a thousand years, and you've never even touched a woman's hand?"

"It was just a touch of divine sense, and the reaction was this strong."

"If this were to turn into a real fight, wouldn't the Tower Master suffer a qi deviation on the spot?"

Every word is piercing to the heart.

Every sentence breaks through defenses.

Gu Qinghan felt all the blood rushing to her head.

He was a powerful cultivator at the Dao Realm.

The number one healer in the Canglan Realm.

He was actually provoked by a woman from the lower realm with just a few words, causing him to lose his Dao heart.

What a shame!

"Incomprehensible!"

Gu Qinghan suddenly turned around.

He had his back to Jiang Yining.

Beneath the wide sleeves of his robe, his gloved hands were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

He was trying his best to suppress the rampant spiritual energy surging within his body.

Damn.

He clearly cultivates the ruthless path of medicine, so how could he be disturbed by such low-level provocation?

"That concludes today's inspection."

Gu Qinghan's voice returned to its icy tone, but her speaking speed was twice as fast as usual.

His disheveled state was impossible to conceal.

"Your body is extremely efficient at absorbing erysipelas. I will adjust tomorrow's alchemy plan based on this data."

After saying that, he strode towards the door.

It had a somewhat panicked, fleeing feel to it.

"Hey, wait a minute," Jiang Yining called out to him.

Gu Qinghan paused, but did not turn around.

"Is there anything else?"

Jiang Yining pointed to several large black jade barrels in the corner of the control panel.

"Those are the poison pills you ruined, right? They're just taking up space. You might as well let me eat them as snacks."

Gu Qinghan's body stiffened.

Those few buckets of discarded pills were defective products left over from his research on various highly toxic substances over the past few hundred years.

It is so poisonous that even a True Monarch Realm expert would suffer immediate intestinal perforation and stomach rot if he ate a single bite.

This woman actually wants to eat it as a snack?

"what ever."

Gu Qinghan uttered two words.

He pushed open the door as if fleeing and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Jiang Yining watched his disheveled departure and chuckled softly.

Old virgins are easy to manipulate.

Not only can it act as a protective shield, but it can also provide high-level energy for free.

She jumped off the glass platform.

They walked up to the large black jade barrels.

The Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within his dantian was trembling violently, conveying an intense longing.

"Eat."

Jiang Yining grabbed a handful of black, waste pills without hesitation.

Stuff it into your mouth like a candy.

The moment the poison pill entered its stomach, before the violent toxicity could even erupt, it was swallowed whole by the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree.

The pure energy exploded instantly.

Jiang Yining closed her eyes.

Feel the energy rising within my body.

The bottleneck in his cultivation began to shatter under the impact of this massive amount of poison pills.

"Soon..."

She opened her eyes, and a flash of purple-gold light disappeared in them.

If only a few more of these treasure troves could be drained.

A breakthrough is just around the corner.

As for Gu Qinghan's little bit of fastidiousness and innocence?

Oh.

Men are nothing more than stepping stones on her path to immortality.
