Chapter 1193: Grade Seven Elixir: Thousand-Dragon Pill

Three days later, Qi Ruohua stared at Chen Chuyang with a mournful, resentful gaze; that look was terrifying.

As if she were going to tear Chen Chuyang apart, even though she struggled to stand, she still wanted to act.

Chen Chuyang immediately grabbed her hand, embraced her, and comforted, "Madam, don't be angry; your husband does this for your good."

Qi Ruohua rolled her eyes at Chen Chuyang, fuming, "What a load of crap, you think you can trample me just for your own pleasure?"

"Do you believe I'll tell Hongxue and have Hongxue come to kill you?"

The lingering pain kept reminding her; she didn't know why she, against all reason, believed his lies, and then it spiraled out of control. This man truly is poisonous; she had heard of such methods before, but never expected they would one day fall on her.

The old palace was chaotic, the whole capital was in disorder, men outnumbered women, and there were many Dragon‑Yang affairs; she had only heard rumors and never considered it, but in the end Chen Chuyang fooled her.

She almost went lame.

"Madam, don't be angry; isn't this because your husband loves you too much? Isn't it because you're so charming that I simply can't help it?" Chen Chuyang kept explaining; the madam clearly enjoyed it, yet still pretended to be angry.

These past few days, she hadn't pushed him away nor said anything; unexpectedly, after it ended, Qi Ruohua finally got angry. Since she is his own woman, he could only obediently soothe her; when his own woman is angry, he must placate her.

"Hmph." Qi Ruohua let out a cold snort, irately saying, "You only know how to bully me; it's always like this."

"Haven't I seen you bully Shang Hongchen and Hongxue? You just think I'm easy to pick on."

Chen Chuyang shouted in protest, "Madam, that's not true; didn't you think of it? Moreover, do you think they never tried?"

Qi Ruohua heard this, her pupils widened, she stared at Chen Chuyang, eyes flashing, and lowered her voice, "Both of them too?"

Chen Chuyang smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Give her a bit of imagination space, let her fill in the blanks herself.

"Madam, your husband truly loves you, which is why I do this; haven't you been happy these past few days?"

Qi Ruohua retorted angrily, "Is it me who's happy? Are you sure it's not you?"

"Just because it's your own happiness, you can bully me; I see you, truly detestable."

"Only Hongxue would dote on you, give you everything; I don't know where your luck comes from, being able to marry a good wife like Hongxue."

Indeed, she truly admires Shang Hongxue; her outlook is genuinely broad.

If it were her, she certainly couldn't reach this point.

Over time, she came to accept this, but at first she couldn't accept it.

"Hahaha, madam, being able to marry you is also my fortune." Chen Chuyang, hugging Qi Ruohua, said sincerely.

Each of the women around him is wonderful; they are all his good madams.

Qi Ruohua heard this, and only then a smile appeared on her face; she tsundere‑ly said, "I'll give you credit for being clever; being able to marry me is your fortune."

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Chuyang repeatedly acknowledged, lowered his head and laughed cheekily, "So, madam, are you?"

"No, I haven't recovered yet; if you want, go find Hongxue and the other."

Then, Chen Chuyang was driven out.

Helplessly, he could only return.

After arriving at Longshe Shan, he was once again turned away; these women seemed to have prearranged, giving him no chance.

Especially that girl Shang Hongchen, the main gate was tightly shut, not letting him in.

Chen Chuyang, extremely helpless, could only return to his own room, just in time to begin cultivation.

He also tidied the resources obtained this time; there were many items. Numerous spirit medicines needed reorganization and classification, separating by grade, and various materials had to be sorted individually.

Since they were his own belongings, he naturally had to organize them well, keeping a clear count in his mind.

He knew roughly how many good items he had and knew what to do.

This sorting took three days.

Chen Chuyang spent three days sorting, and considered all materials fully categorized.

Spirit medicines, various monster corpses, flesh, bones, and a wealth of good materials for Pill Refining, artifact forging, and other assorted odd items—he sorted the usable ones for himself, the ones for future use, and threw the unusable ones to the Hun Yuan Bell for consumption.

The Hun Yuan Bell accepts all comers; it devours whatever is given.

After Advancement, the Hun Yuan Bell's appetite increased greatly; to advance a holy artifact, it needs to be fed in advance.

Whatever Chen Chuyang has, he first gives to the Hun Yuan Bell, feeding it to quickly strengthen it; this is his destined weapon, so he naturally treats it well.

After sorting, Chen Chuyang began Pill Refining; with so many spirit medicines here, not refining a batch would be a waste, so he decided to refine more pills.

First came Grade Six Elixir, Nine‑Grade Dragon Blood Pill, Tai Sui Pill, and other series of pills, all requiring mass production; many people in this world need them. Grade Six Elixir is already the highest‑grade pill they can access, and they cannot yet absorb higher grades.

Such‑grade pills are naturally precious; Chen Chuyang will allocate them to other factions. Next are Fifth‑Grade Pills, whose refining is much simpler, quickly accumulating a large batch; they are the best‑selling and most demanded pills.

After many more days, Fifth‑ and Sixth‑Grade Pills amassed a large stock, sufficient for a long period. Then Chen Chuyang began refining Grade Seven Elixir, which is crucial; Grade Seven Elixir is immensely important, and he also refined Wan Yao Dragon Blood Pill, of which he had few left, most having been traded.

Some were given to his clones, and some to Elder Xinran.

There aren't many people in this world who can tolerate Grade Seven Elixir; Grade Six Elixir is already their limit. Even a matriarch can only endure Grade Six Elixir; only Chen Chuyang and his clones can bear Grade Seven Elixir.

Refining Grade Seven Elixir takes even longer.

Wan Yao Dragon Blood Pill, Azure Dragon Tai Sui Pill, and another pill, the Thousand‑Dragon Pill, were created by Chen Chuyang after gathering numerous dragon bloodlines into a brand‑new formula, also a Grade Seven Elixir. Its effect is somewhat special, primarily a flesh‑enhancing pill that makes the body as strong as a dragon's, though this is only theoretical.

The actual effect remains to be further confirmed.

After completing the two Grade Seven Elixirs, he moved on to refining the Thousand‑Dragon Pill; the first attempt, with relatively good luck, succeeded.

A furnace of brand‑new pills emerged; Chen Chuyang heard dragon roars reverberating throughout the cave residence. He grasped the pill, and the dragon roars ceased.

A few pills appeared in his palm; Chen Chuyang looked at them and said contentedly, "Thousand‑Dragon Pill, refinement successful; how it works, I need to experience it personally."

Then he popped a pill into his mouth.
