Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Go ask him for it!

He was a cook in a canteen, and he had a high salary and plenty of food.

Why hoard so much food at home?

Anyway, he's childless and will never find a wife in his life.

What's wrong with asking him for some food?

If you can't even handle this small matter.

Don't come into this house again.

Our Jia family doesn't support idlers who only know how to eat without working.

Qin Huairu felt a surge of hatred that was almost bleeding inside her.

I wish this mother and child would die suddenly.

But she knew even more clearly in her heart that...

Once the nominal protection of the Jia family is lost...

He had to raise the stick and the little guy all by himself.

And there's the unborn child in my belly.

There was simply no way to survive in those kinds of days.

The next morning, Qin Huairu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out.

First, he shamelessly went to find Sha Zhu.

I had to talk myself hoarse to barely get a little something.

She then rushed to Yi Zhonghai's home without stopping.

But the final harvest was pitifully small.

Sha Zhu was kind-hearted and gave her ten catties of flour and ten yuan.

Yi Zhonghai only gave away five jin of cornmeal.

He even shamelessly made despicable demands of Qin Huairu.

He said he would give Qin Huairu another ten yuan if she slept with him.

Qin Huairu was both ashamed and indignant.

He grabbed the five pounds of cornmeal and turned to leave.

He just gave a perfunctory answer, saying he needed to go back and think it over.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai's shameful act was exposed in public last time,

Their behavior became increasingly unscrupulous.

They no longer cared about saving face or reputation.

Now, whenever I have an argument with someone...

The other party will then bring up his past affair to humiliate him.

This left him seething with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.

Qin Huairu carried the meager five jin of cornmeal.

As soon as I stepped into the house.

Before I could even put down the bag of flour in my hand,

Jia Dongxu's slap came down with a sharp gust of wind.

The fierce force made her vision go black for a moment, and she saw stars.

Damn it, you spineless bastard!

What's there to hesitate about?

I'm going to beat you to death today, you shameless bastard!

Jia Dongxu cursed angrily, spitting as he spoke.

Then came another loud slap.

It landed squarely on Qin Huairu's other cheek.

At this moment, Qin Huairu finally understood.

Just now, when I went to Yi Zhonghai's house to ask for grain...

Jia Dongxu must be like a mouse hiding in the shadows.

He secretly eavesdropped on their entire conversation from outside the door.

Dongxu, I really didn't do that kind of thing... Waaaaah...

Qin Huairu covered her burning, stinging face with both hands.

Tears welled up instantly, like a river bursting its banks.

Her shoulders trembled as she cried.

They looked exceptionally pitiful and miserable.

How dare you talk back to me!

You despicable thing!

You should confess honestly and immediately.

The bastard child you're carrying...

Is it really that old bastard Yi Zhonghai?

Jia Dongxu suddenly grabbed her collar.

His face was contorted almost into a grotesque grimace as he roared at the top of his lungs.

Dongxu, please, please believe me, waaaaaah...

Qin Huairu shook her head desperately.

The crying grew increasingly mournful and sorrowful, as if the cries were tearing the heart out.

Standing to the side, Madam Jia Zhang witnessed this scene.

He immediately rushed forward.

They pinched and twisted Qin Huairu's body.

He kept cursing and swearing under his breath:

You born a vile wretch!

Dongxu, stop wasting your breath on her and beat her to death!

Keep hitting her until she tells the truth!

So, in the small courtyard of the Jia family,

The ugly scene of the mother and son teaming up to beat their daughter-in-law has been staged once again.

The neighbors around were already numb and used to such scenes.

Since the scandal between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai was exposed,

Family dramas like this happen every few days.

They were just listening to the sounds coming from the other side of the wall.

Just treat it as enjoying a free street performance.

Sha Zhu, who lived in the next courtyard, also heard Qin Huairu's mournful cries.

A feeling of unease welled up inside me.

I vaguely felt a pang of guilt.

But in the end, he still didn't have the courage to step out of his own doorstep.

He could only sigh inwardly:

Sister Qin's fate is truly too bitter.

Why did she have to marry such a good-for-nothing as Jia Dongxu?

Sha Zhu then had a sudden thought.

He wondered if he should also find a wife and settle down.

To live a stable and peaceful life.

In fact, he has been on quite a few blind dates over the past few years.

But each time it inexplicably fizzled out.

As time went on, he eventually got tired of bothering with it anymore.

I might as well just give up completely and leave it to fate.

Meanwhile, Chen Wenqi was in that mysterious secret realm.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to research and practice.

After countless failures and repeated attempts,

He finally ushered in an incredibly exciting moment—

The first batch of pills he personally refined was finally successfully produced.

In order to successfully refine this batch of pills

He has wasted countless precious medicinal materials.

He first used a secret technique of the Huode Sect, which was not passed down to others.

He mobilized the pure Qi within his body, transforming it into a supremely yang and pure golden flame.

This flame, formed from condensed true qi, contains extremely pure energy.

Despite the extremely high temperature, it can be controlled with ease.

It can be considered the best aid in refining elixirs.

He combined various rare medicinal herbs he had collected with the essence of the blood orchid.

Add them to the alchemy furnace in a specific ratio.

The high temperature of the golden flames completely melted and fused them into one.

After repeated purification and compression processes,

Eventually, they condensed into formed pills.

This complex process requires extremely high control over the heat.

It must be done meticulously and precisely.

Even the slightest carelessness or mistake

The result is either that the medicine's effects are completely lost.

Either the entire batch of pills turns into a pile of useless ashes.

Fortunately, Chen Wenqi had diligently studied various techniques of the Fire Virtue Sect.

At this point, they had successfully condensed the supreme "Six Ding Divine Fire" of the Fire Virtue Sect.

His mastery of fire-style techniques reached an unparalleled level.

Now, he doesn't even need to preserve the embers beforehand.

Then one can freely use various fire-based supernatural abilities.

Wherever there is a source of fire

He can then teleport there in an instant.

And all these achievements,

This is all thanks to his masterful use of the Heavenly Talisman.

He successfully refined the Fire Virtue Sect's natal talisman into one of his own natal talismans.

This is enough to give a glimpse of the terrifying power contained in the Tongtian Talisman.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Wenqi today,

They can already wield considerable influence within a certain area.

With a mortal body, I am on par with those legendary gods.

The successfully refined elixir was named the "Longevity Pill".

The final product consists of ten pieces.

Chen Wenqi cautiously took one of the pills first.

Then I immediately checked my attribute panel.

The maximum lifespan column had suddenly increased by a full eight years.

He then took a second pill, which added four years to his lifespan;

After taking the third pill, his lifespan increased by two years.

By the time the fourth pill was taken, lifespan had only increased by one year.

By the time the fifth pill was taken, the life-extending effect had become negligible and almost imperceptible.

Although after taking all ten pills

In total, it only increased his lifespan by fifteen years.

But for ordinary mortals...

This is already a miraculous treasure that can defy fate.

Of course, Chen Wenqi would never casually show such an incomparably precious treasure to others.

He only intended to keep it for his immediate family members.

Since formally embarking on the path of spiritual cultivation and seeking the Tao,

Chen Wenqi has come to a profound realization that

To grant immortality to one's ordinary mortal relatives,

Its difficulty is simply like climbing to the heavens.

This is because there is a natural limit to the lifespan of ordinary people that is difficult to overcome by external forces.

To put it simply, the fundamental principle behind this longevity elixir...

It's essentially about repairing various internal functions of the human body.

Reduce unnecessary lifespan loss caused by illness, overwork, and other reasons.

From a theoretical perspective,

Under ideal conditions where human bodily functions are in perfect condition,

The lifespan limit should be around 150 years.

However, in real life, it is impossible to achieve such a perfect and flawless ideal state.

For an average person, living to eighty is considered a long life.

People who live to be 100 are extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Chen Wenqi never dared to hope that his family members possessed the ability to live forever.

I only hope they can stay by my side for many more long years.

Seeing them live a long and healthy life,

He was already content and had no other desires.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the unchanging natural order and laws of human existence.

After thoroughly understanding this level of reasoning,

Chen Wenqi slowly calmed his turbulent emotions and distracting thoughts.

They began to focus on preparing to refine the next batch of pills.

Chen Wenqi not only successfully refined the Longevity Pill, but also...

They even concocted a youth-preserving elixir that could make people look young and stay youthful forever.

And Qi-blood pills that can quickly replenish the body's Qi and blood, and nourish the essence and spirit.

It even includes some peculiar elixirs with rather unique effects and whose specific uses are not yet fully understood.

Moreover, he had refined a considerable quantity of each type of elixir.

All of this was because Chen Wenqi possessed a vast and countless array of elixirs.

In addition, he has never wasted a single moment of his life over the years.

His footprints have covered almost all the mountains and rivers of the country.

They collected a large number of precious, rare, and even hard-to-find medicinal herbs.

They were all transplanted to a specially created herb garden within the secret realm and carefully cultivated.

The reserves of medicinal herbs have long been extremely abundant and inexhaustible.

In the days that followed,

Chen Wenqi lived a very leisurely and carefree life at the steel rolling mill.
