The proof of Emperor Wu began with daily rewards for diligence.

Proving Emperor Wu's Martial Prowess Through Daily Rewards (Chapter 99)

After coaxing the little girl until midnight and waiting for her to fall asleep peacefully, Chen Jue was finally able to leave and go home.

Pei Qingying poured out her heart in a torrent of words.

He learned that the "Soul Nourishing Pill" only had a relieving effect on the girl's soul separation syndrome, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

To completely cure this soul separation syndrome and allow the girl's soul to fully merge with her current body, a soul-nourishing pill of level five or higher is required.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not possess such an elixir.

They needed to cross mountains and seas to reach distant Europe and snatch it from the devil's grasp.

In addition, the legendary "elixir of immortality" that supposedly allowed ancient sage kings to live again should also be able to cure the disease of soul separation.

But regardless of which one, Chen Jue needs to possess unparalleled power.

"Why do I feel like my motivation to get stronger has increased even more? —"

Chen Jue meditated and regulated his breathing in the quiet room, gradually accumulating the foundation of true energy for climbing upwards.

In the future, he will surely use these foundations to build a long staircase leading to heaven.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the "Frosty Bone Snow Lotus" to be prepared.

Since revealing her identity that night, Chen Jue has noticed that Pei Qingxiang has become a different person. Although she is still lively and bright, she has become particularly clingy.

Whatever Chen Jue does, the little girls all want to follow him.

Chen Jue meditated to accumulate true energy, while the little girl quietly typed on her computer, writing her own things.

Chen Jue practiced his martial arts in the courtyard, while the little girl quietly filmed him, preparing future footage for their self-operated social media accounts.

He Tangtang was so jealous that she went crazy, accusing Chen Jue of stealing her best friend and demanding an exorbitant amount of compensation for emotional distress.

Ms. He and Ms. Chen would smile like doting aunts every day, often sitting on the second-floor balcony cracking sunflower seeds and watching the clumsy young men and women go through their bittersweet daily lives.

"This is what they call—not resentful even when penniless, and a couple as young as children," Ms. He Yin commented.

"No, no, no, according to the saccharine dramas, it's called—'At fifteen, she begins to smile, willing to share dust and ashes with him.'" Chen Yun corrected.

"Fifteen? What kind of show are you watching? That's the kind that gets you electrocuted!"

"Go and play with Mom and Auntie first."

Chen Jue pulled the little tail behind him out of the underground alchemy chamber.

A batch of first-grade pills was not worth much in Chen Jue's eyes, but since it concerned the safety of Tang Xi and Pei Qingying, the pills suddenly became much more important.

Chen Jue stood in front of the alchemy furnace, carefully reviewed the alchemy steps and required materials, and only after ensuring that everything was in order did he start to light the fire and warm the furnace.

Because the ingredients of the Soul Nourishing Pill are all cold and yin substances, the medicinal properties cannot be directly refined using medium or high heat.

It requires alternating between gentle heat and residual heat to refine the essence and discard the dregs.

On the alchemy furnace, there are rare metals used to measure temperature. These can be used to verify whether the alchemist's fire control technique is accurate, so that the fire can be adjusted at any time.

As the ingredients for the elixir were placed into the furnace in the order of "principal, minister, assistant, and guide," the furnace suddenly emitted a chill that reached straight to the soul.

The fire flickered beneath the furnace, and the furnace temperature dropped sharply.

Just as Chen Jue was about to place the roasted cinnabar wood into the furnace to increase the heat, a faint spiritual pattern suddenly lit up between his brows.

The three "Shadow Divine Powers" in Chen Jue's Soul Sea seemed to sense the benefit, opening up the "Heavenly Eye" between Chen Jue's eyebrows. Like a whale sucking in water, they absorbed all the cold aura emanating from the alchemy furnace into Chen Jue's calm and undisturbed Soul Sea.

A few bubbles slowly rose from the pitch-black sea of ​​souls, bursting on its calm surface.

Chen Jue's expression hardened. Before he could even look at the temperature indicator on the thermometer, he pressed his palm directly onto the scorching furnace wall.

The temperature didn't fluctuate much, so there was no need to add more firewood.

Chen Jue glanced at the temperature-measuring metal, and the readings confirmed his judgment.

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stand guard by the furnace, quietly waiting for the various medicinal properties of the ingredients to meld together.

However, while waiting, he couldn't help but glance at the three runes in his soul sea.

After absorbing the chilling aura erupting from the alchemy furnace, they visibly grew larger.

However, it is still not at the level where it can autonomously generate "soul skills".

Nourish the soul, nourish the soul —

Chen Jue suddenly realized that he was also one of the three Shadow Ghosts, and that consuming the Soul Nourishing Pill would definitely accelerate the evolution and upgrade of the "Shadow Divine Power".

Chen Jue fell silent; the number of Soul Nourishing Pills was becoming increasingly insufficient.

About an hour later.

Under the gentle warmth of the remaining embers, the medicinal fragrance emanating from the alchemy furnace gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

A glint flashed in Chen Jue's eyes. His left hand reached out with lightning speed to the still-hot furnace lid, while his right hand fanned the steam spraying out of the furnace from side to side.

At the bottom of the furnace, eight golden Soul Nourishing Pills lay quietly.

Perhaps because the "cooling and heating" step was omitted, the success rate of the Soul Nourishing Pill this time was two pills higher than the maximum value predicted by Jiao Fengchun.

Chen Jue carefully took the pills out from the bottom of the furnace and found that although these eight Soul Nourishing Pills were still ranked as top-grade, they had an extra golden line compared to the previous top-grade pills, turning into two golden lines intertwined.

He took one of the pills out and smelled it, discovering that there seemed to be an invisible membrane on the outer layer of the pill, locking all the pill energy inside and preventing it from evaporating outwards.

Therefore, it is clear that a top-grade elixir with two patterns is definitely better than one pattern.

The action of absorbing the cold and yin energy during the process, using the Shadowy Divine Power, became a key factor in the improvement of the alchemy method.

"Tang Xi needs four pills, but to perfectly suppress Qingying's soul separation syndrome, it's best to take one pill every ten days —"

The success rate of the extra two pills was truly a pleasant surprise. Chen Jue pondered the distribution of the pills and decided to use them in the next batch of cultivation.

He took one of the Soul Pills to promote the evolution of his "Shadow Divine Power".

As for why it wasn't used in this batch of Soul Nourishing Pills, the main reason was the concern about potential mishaps in the next batch.

After all, both "Frosty Ancient Snow Lotus" and "Taiyin Snow Dew" are extremely rare.

Although Pei Qingying had a lot of money, she couldn't buy these precious materials in a short time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't still be struggling to gather all the necessary ingredients for his long-awaited Marrow Cleansing Pill formula.

Chen Jue casually prepared the ingredients for a second batch of Soul Nourishing Pills, then divided the pills into two portions, giving one to Jiao Fengchun and the other to Pei Qingying.

Pei Qingying treasured the pills as if they were precious treasures. She jumped from the sofa onto Chen Jue and gave him two kisses on the cheeks.

Then, amidst the ambiguous and teasing smiles of He Yin and Ms. Chen Yun, she dashed into Chen Jue's bedroom.

The little girl wasn't actually happy because of the Soul Nourishing Pill. She could buy anything with a price, it was just a matter of how fast or slow it would take.

But Chen Jue personally helped her refine pills, which meant that her boyfriend had fully accepted her identity as an extraterrestrial demon, finally giving her a place to take root in this world.

Of course, Sister Zong Qinghe was also very good to her.

But she was too far away from him; she was a dragon destined to fight the world alone.

Chen Jue didn't pay much attention when he saw the little girl run into his bedroom.

After all, Chen Jue hadn't lived in that bedroom since they moved in.

He had extra time every day, which he spent either practicing martial arts in the courtyard or cultivating in the quiet room. When he was tired, he would just make do on the hard bed in the quiet room.

If it weren't for his girlfriend who often brightens his daily life, his life would be extremely dull and boring.
