Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Primordial Era: Transforming Qi into Form, Mastering the Pharmacology of the World":

Nuwa Palace, Creation Hall.

Ling Dan was also familiar with this place, after all, she had seen it from beginning to end when Nuwa created it.

Upon arriving at the Palace of Creation, one sees Nuwa, who is wandering in the void.

Ling Dan stepped forward, intending to call out to Nuwa.

Unexpectedly, Nuwa suddenly awoke, looked at Ling Dan, a smile appearing on her face, and with a flick of her finger, Ling Dan, who had been in the form of a young boy, instantly reverted to his childhood appearance, shrunk, and fell into Nuwa's arms.

Ling Dan felt the familiar embrace, felt her own body shape and appearance, and felt grief and indignation: "Sister Nuwa... I've grown up, what are you doing...?"

"Little Lingdan... you'll never grow up here with your sister." Nuwa teased Lingdan with a smile.

In particular, Ling Dan's chubby baby face from her childhood has now been transformed back by Nuwa.

What could Ling Dan say? Her eyes were filled with grief and indignation, but she couldn't resist.

Houtu smiled, "Nuwa... you're truly amazing. Over the years, as Xiao Lingdan has grown and his cultivation has increased, shrinking him hasn't been so easy. It's been difficult to even hold him in my arms all these years. But you, you shrunk him so easily!"

Houtu didn't stand on ceremony and joined in, teasing Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was speechless; she couldn't resist even if she wanted to.

The Queen Mother now smiled, looking at Ling Dan, and playfully teased her a little before saying, "Saint Nuwa... your uninvited arrival is quite a disturbance."

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother...we are old acquaintances. Forget about being called a sage. Just call me fellow Daoist." Nuwa was quite casual.

The Queen Mother didn't stand on ceremony either.

In fact, the Queen Mother and Nuwa were contemporaries and relatively familiar with each other. Now that Nuwa has achieved Hunyuan (primordial chaos), she is still searching for the path to enlightenment, and the gap between them is gradually widening.

Ling Dan watched their conversation, feeling frustrated: "Sister Nuwa... Sister Houtu wanted to see you, so why did you insist on calling me here? And why did my master and the others also summon me?"

"Little Lingdan... to be honest, this is definitely a great opportunity for you. Or rather, I want to make a deal with you." Nuwa didn't mince words.

"A trade, a great opportunity? What exactly is it?" Ling Dan was also puzzled. She wondered what Nuwa, who had already achieved Hunyuan, had to do with her in a trade.

Nuwa is now serious, looking at Houtu and Lingdan: "Speaking of which, this matter is also closely related to Houtu. Houtu... you have been asking me how the Wu tribe can perfect the method of earth marriage so that your tribe can gain the power of reproduction. Over the years, I have been studying the Great Dao of Marriage and searching for the possibility of perfecting the method of earth marriage for the Wu tribe."

At this point, Nuwa shook her head slightly: "But as I comprehended, I realized that while the Wu tribe was indeed suited to perfecting the Earth Marriage method, they were also constrained by their bloodline. After all, within the Wu tribe, only the Twelve Ancestral Witches could represent the earth and perfect the Earth Marriage method. And the Twelve Ancestral Witches were connected by blood; they were all brothers and sisters."

The relationship between you two siblings prevents you from practicing the custom of marriage by land, as it would violate the principles of marital destiny. Therefore, we must find someone from outside the tribes who can be paired with the Ancestral Witch and represent the earth, to perfect the earth marriage method. However, even with my understanding of marriage and my reliance on the Red Embroidered Ball to search for suitable partners among the various tribes of the prehistoric world, I have found it difficult to find a suitable match. After all, the bloodline of the Witch Clan is too domineering; the marriage threads propagated by the Red Embroidered Ball cannot reach your Ancestral Witches and will be extinguished.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's eyes turned grave: "I see. Ultimately, it's a problem within our own Wu tribe; we're unable to perfect the method of earth marriage!"

"Indeed. It is truly difficult to find someone who can resonate with your Ancestral Witches, as well as a race and a powerful being of equal standing to your Ancestral Witches. But after searching and searching, we found that the most suitable person is right before our eyes." Nuwa smiled and turned to look at Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was completely stunned, her eyes unable to move: "Me? How could this be..."

Ling Dan wasn't stupid; from Nuwa's words, she clearly understood that the most suitable person was herself.

He himself was in harmony with the witch clan and perfected the method of earth marriage. What's so special about that?

Houtu was now slightly dazed, and turned to stare at Ling Dan, seemingly pondering something.

The Queen Mother's expression turned solemn, her brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa... are you saying that Ling Dan and Fellow Daoist Houtu are suitable for perfecting the method of earthly marriage?"

"How could that be? Sister Nuwa, you must be joking. I am formed from the essence of my elixir and have nothing to do with the earth. Although I have cultivated for many years and my physical body is very strong, it is still difficult for me to bear the domineering bloodline of the Wu clan."

Ling Dan immediately retorted, feeling that this was too far-fetched.

"Little Lingdan... Your sister has been studying marriage for many years, and when she says you are suitable, she is not joking. As I just said, only the Ancestral Witches are qualified to perfect the method of earthly marriage. However, the Ancestral Witches' bloodline is domineering, making it difficult to find a compatible race or powerful being. Furthermore, the Ancestral Witches themselves have a sibling relationship, which violates the principles of marriage." .

But Ling Dan, you are different. You are born of your own creation, able to merge with the Daoist essence of Houtu, perfectly harmonizing with her. Therefore, you can perfectly bear Houtu's domineering bloodline. Furthermore, although you are formed from elixir energy, that energy originates from the essence of herbs and plants within the elixir. These herbs and plants are purified and born from the primordial earth, absorbing the soil to grow. Therefore, Little Ling Dan can also be considered a descendant of the earth, as if condensed from the essence of the earth itself.

Besides, the Dao of alchemy you cultivate will not conflict with the Great Dao, so it can perfectly encompass Houtu's Great Dao. Therefore, you and Houtu are absolutely the most suitable people to perfect the method of earthly marriage." Nuwa smiled.

Ling Dan was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Houtu remained silent for a long time: "Nuwa, about this matter..."

"Houtu... I think with your wisdom, you should have realized Lingdan's uniqueness a long time ago. You should also have considered whether you could evolve and perfect the Earth Marriage method together with Lingdan. But you seem to have been avoiding this question all along," Nuwa suddenly asked.

Houtu sighed, but didn't hide anything: "Indeed... when I was thinking about the method of earth marriage back then, I did think of Ling Dan. However, at that time it was just a guess. Besides, things are unpredictable, and many things cannot be forced. Not to mention whether little Ling Dan can agree, the issue of seniority is difficult to resolve."

"That is indeed a problem. After all, you and I have watched Ling Dan grow up, and now that we are together, our marriage feels somewhat incongruous." Nuwa nodded in agreement.

The Queen Mother remained calm: "Yes, there is a sense of awkwardness due to the difference in seniority. Although there are no taboos in the primordial world, there are still some things that are not easy to say openly. The reason I put aside the seniority is because of Ling Dan, who saved me many times back then. Moreover, he once saw my body naked, so I have recognized him."

The Queen Mother's sudden utterance made the already awkward atmosphere even more eerie.

Nuwa's eyes flickered as she looked at Ling Dan, as if she had discovered something extraordinary, and she pinched Ling Dan's chubby cheeks.

Houtu did the same, staring intently at Lingdan as if she had seen something.

Stared at by so many eyes, Ling Dan felt truly indignant and grief-stricken. What kind of mess was this?

Back then, the Eastern King forced the Queen Mother to flee at the cost of serious injury, and she accidentally fell into Ling Dan's herb garden.

Finally, Ling Dan saw him naked.

It's no wonder it's awkward to bring up such old stories.

After a long while, Nuwa teased Ling Dan, asking, "Little Ling Dan... why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you shocked by this news?"

"Shocking, more than shocking. Sister Nuwa... this news is terrifying." Ling Dan could only sigh in disbelief, "No wonder Uncle Tongtian had that smile on his face when he told me to come. They all knew. Besides, is there no room for negotiation?"

"No. Little Lingdan... by helping your sister perfect the marriage, you will not only gain Houtu as a wife, but also enable the Wu tribe to procreate. It's a win-win situation," Nuwa said with a smile.

What could Ling Dan say? She could only express her embarrassment: "Is it really necessary to do this? Now that the Witch Clan relies on the Human Clan for reproduction, is it really necessary to perfect the method of earth marriage?"

"Little Lingdan... whether the Witch Clan wants to perfect the Earth Marriage Method at most involves the reproduction of the race. But for me, it involves an opportunity. So I hope you can help me perfect the Earth Marriage Method. Besides, perfecting the Earth Marriage Method will not only give you Houtu as a wife, but you two might also be able to have another offspring. By then, we will have a fourth-generation direct descendant of the Xuanmen." Nuwa said with a smile and a serious expression.

Houtu blushed slightly upon hearing this.

After all, it involves children.

Ling Dan was also completely stunned, a strange look appearing in her eyes.

What on earth is going on? I inexplicably came to Nuwa's Palace, only to be told by Nuwa that I am the most suitable person to perfect the law of earthly marriage. And the object of my affections is none other than Houtu.

After it's perfected, maybe it can conceive a child with Houtu.

Nuwa has already made arrangements for this child's future, making him the fourth-generation direct descendant of the Xuanmen sect.

What could Ling Dan say? She could only say that Nuwa was worrying about far too much.
