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

Half a month later.

Jiang Yining lived like an empress dowager in Danta.

Gu Qinghan not only delivered the key, but even the deputy tower masters who were usually arrogant had to respectfully call Jiang Yining "Madam".

Although Jiang Yining still did not agree to the Daoist Couple Ceremony.

But Gu Qinghan had already entered a state of extreme excitement about "preparing for marriage".

But this state of affairs was interrupted that morning.

Gu Qinghan frowned as he looked at the half-eaten ginseng in Jiang Yining's hand.

"You've been eating a bit too much lately."

It's more than just a lot.

Jiang Yining practically ate top-grade pills like they were fried beans and ate ancient medicinal herbs like they were snacks.

If it were an ordinary Spirit Awakening Realm cultivator, they would have exploded and died long ago.

But Jiang Yining was not only unharmed, she acted as if nothing had happened.

"Come here, let me take a look."

Without saying a word, Gu Qinghan grabbed Jiang Yining's wrist.

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat.

Miscalculated.

These little flower buds are developing too fast.

The main problem was that the resources provided by Gu Qinghan were of too high a level, causing it to overfeed.

"No...no need, I just have a good appetite lately." Jiang Yining tried to pull her hand away.

Gu Qinghan's face darkened, and his aura instantly turned icy.

"Ning'er, stop fooling around."

His hand rested on his pulse point.

Divine consciousness surged into Jiang Yining's meridians like a tidal wave.

For a moment, Gu Qinghan was stunned.

He sensed a vibrant, even heart-pounding, life force.

That vitality was hidden deep within Jiang Yining's dantian, like a newly risen sun.

Even more strangely, Jiang Yining's pulse was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, and even briefly stopped.

This is definitely not a normal pulse.

"Your qi and blood..." Gu Qinghan's face turned extremely pale, and his hands trembled. "How could it be in such a state?"

His first reaction wasn't that she was pregnant.

After all, in his understanding, it was extremely difficult for a cultivator at the Spirit Awakening Realm to conceive.

Besides, only a month has passed.

He considered that possibility—

Shadow Poison strikes back!

Or perhaps it was a side effect of the Nine Yang Melting Snow Pill from last night, causing her meridians to collapse after being unable to withstand the power.

"Ning'er, are you feeling unwell? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yining quickly calmed down.

Since he thought it was an illness, he might as well turn it into a "terminal illness".

She secretly communicated with the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within her dantian.

"Little Wood, hide well."

"By the way, exhale a bit of Shadow Poison's aura."

The Divine Tree of All Spirits shook its branches and leaves with remarkable spirituality.

The once golden branches were suddenly tinged with a faint black.

The pulse suddenly became cold and eerie.

Gu Qinghan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"How could this be... the Shadow Poison hasn't been completely eliminated yet?"

Jiang Yining leaned into his arms, her face so pale it was almost transparent, and beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

"I don't know..." her voice was weak, "I just feel something inside my body constantly draining my strength..."

"My spiritual energy is being drained by it."

Gu Qinghan felt as if her heart had been stabbed.

Absorb all power.

Isn't this the most typical symptom of shadow poisoning?

"Damn it! It's all my fault for being so careless these past few days, always getting you distracted and forgetting about the important matter!"

Gu Qinghan roared in regret and slammed his fist on the glass table.

"I was too hasty. Although the Nine Yang Melting Snow Pill can detoxify, there may still be residual poison in your body!"

He held Jiang Yining tightly, as if protecting a priceless treasure about to shatter.

"Don't be afraid, Ning'er, don't be afraid."

"I have a way."

"I have the best medicine in the entire Canglan Realm."

"If this place doesn't work, I'll take you to Star Harbor, to the Outer Heavens!"

He suddenly stood up and roared outside:

"Bring me all the top-grade spiritual herbs that replenish qi, calm the soul, and suppress evil spirits!"

Jiang Yining closed her eyes weakly.

From an angle where Gu Qinghan couldn't see, her fingernails lightly traced across her flat stomach.

Little flower bud, you'd better do your best.

To save enough money for your baby formula, your mother has risked her life.

While frantically channeling immortal spiritual power into Jiang Yining's body, Gu Qinghan trembled as he wrote a new prescription.

He suddenly pulled a silver dagger from his sleeve. It was the weapon he usually used to dissect the bodies of magical beasts. The blade was extremely thin. He ripped open his outer robe, embroidered with a silver medicine cauldron totem, revealing the skin of his left chest.

Without any hesitation, he gripped the hilt of the knife in reverse and pointed it at his heart.

Jiang Yining's eyelids twitched. She quickly reached out and grabbed Gu Qinghan's wrist.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Gu Qinghan looked at her, his eyes filled with obsession and stubbornness.

"I possess the original blood of the Haotian Pure Yang Technique within me. It is extremely yang and can suppress evil poisons."

He flipped his wrist, the tip of the knife about to stab downwards.

Jiang Yining exerted a sudden burst of strength, using her recently recovered immortal spiritual power to forcefully snatch the silver blade. She threw the blade onto the paving stones some distance away, making a piercing, cracking sound.

"Lord Tower Master, just say you want my life."

Jiang Yining leaned against the headboard, her chest heaving.

"Your very essence is damaged. If I take your heart's blood, not only will your cultivation regress, but if you collapse, who will protect me?"

"At that time, Zhao Wu will be eager to rush in and hand me over to the Protoss envoy."

Gu Qinghan froze.

He looked at the silver blade on the ground, then turned to look at Jiang Yining. His eyes were filled with unbearable pain.

Jiang Yining felt a headache coming on. Was this guy really some kind of ancient monster? How could he be so easily fooled?

The man in front of her was handsome and healthy, but she was worried about the children and really didn't want to see him put on a melodramatic show here.

"Tower Master."

Jiang Yining pulled him back, her eyes gentle: "Don't hurt yourself, I'll be fine after a rest."

Gu Qinghan was still deep in thought when Jiang Yining interrupted his train of thought.

She lifted the cloud-like blanket covering her and moved forward half an inch.

Gu Qinghan raised her head.

Jiang Yining's fingers hooked onto his already loose collar. She pulled it down slightly.

Caught off guard, Gu Qinghan leaned forward, his hands instinctively bracing themselves on the bed on either side of Jiang Yining.
