Chapter 313: Father-in-law Condenses the Pill, Heavenly Thunder Rolls

Son-in-law Chuyang, aren't you being a bit hasty? Your father-in-law isn't ready yet; won't you ruin him?

Jiang Luolan couldn't help but worry; seeing the lid of the alchemy furnace closed, the flames directly burned. Soon, her husband's anguished cries echoed across Longshe Shan, utterly miserable.

She couldn't help but worry, yet she couldn't approach the alchemy furnace—the temperature was too high; even with her cultivation, she couldn't directly extinguish it, so she could only ask Chen Chuyang.

Mainly, this was her first time seeing such a thing; she had little experience, fearing an accident might befall Shang Yingnian, but seeing Chen Chuyang and her daughter calm, Jiang Luolan's heart eased a little, not as worried as before.

Shang Hongxue quickly explained: "Mother, no need to worry; Brother Chuyang will watch the temperature, he won't burn Father."

"This helps Father increase his cultivation; burning inside the alchemy furnace, on one hand it strengthens Father's body, dispels impurities, letting all impurities leave his body; on the other hand, it helps Father heal hidden wounds, so he can receive the Condensing the Pill in better shape."

"Look, Brother Chuyang has put a large amount of spiritual herbs and some demon beast blood into Father; these can help Father improve his physique."

"But?" Jiang Luolan was still worried, gritting her teeth as she asked.

Mainly, the anguished cries were too miserable, too shrill.

Each anguished cry made her heart race wildly, unable to stay calm, unable to…… feel at ease.

Unable to see her husband's condition, she was very worried; the temperature of the alchemy furnace rose, and even from far away she could feel that scorching heat—so far she couldn't bear it, let alone being burned by the flames; those flames weren't ordinary fire, and Jiang Luolan at once noticed the extraordinary nature of the pill fire.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her daughter; mainly, her daughter's explanation left her unable to relax.

Shang Hongxue took her mother's hand and repeatedly comforted her.

"Mother, it's fine; the daughter has gone in several times, and Shang Yue has gone in too, and in the end they're still alive and well."

"Look at the daughter—after going in once, her cultivation received a huge boost."

"Brother Chuyang knows his limits; you, don't disturb Brother Chuyang, let him focus."

Saying this, she pulled her mother outward, so as not to affect Chen Chuyang's refining of Father.

Jiang Luolan had no choice but to follow her daughter away.

Gazing at the alchemy furnace from afar, she was full of worry.

One day passed.

Jiang Luolan could still hear her husband's voice; he was still alive, and only then did she feel somewhat relieved.

"Hongxue, you and Chuyang—?"

Shang Hongxue's face turned red, she lowered her head, bashful.

She fidgeted with her little finger, her back to her mother; that bashful posture—Jiang Luolan, as someone who's been through it, knew full well that the daughter and son-in-law had taken that step; sure enough, living together, they were bound to have accidents.

Young people, full of vigor, unable to control themselves—that's normal; before going up the mountain, Jiang Luolan had anticipated this, her daughter being so foolish and pure, with heart and eyes only for Chen Chuyang, naturally she wouldn't refuse.

Before going up the mountain, her husband had also asked about this, his eyes full of worry; if he knew this situation, he would surely explode.

"Any movement?"

Jiang Luolan reached out and touched her daughter's belly—no movement.

Shang Hongxue retreated bashfully, snapping: "Mother, it's not that fast; besides, we don't want a child so soon."

They're still young; having a child too early would be a burden.

It wouldn't benefit either's cultivation; Shang Hongxue isn't unable to cultivate—if it were before, she would surely have given Brother Chuyang a child.

Now, there's no rush.

When they are completely safe and can fully control their own fate, then they can have a child.

Longshe Shan is on the rise; for now they can't divert attention to other matters.

If Brother Chuyang is willing, she can bear him children.

Having several is no problem.

Jiang Luolan lifted her hand, stroked her daughter's cheek, and smiled: "Daughter, you're right; before you want a child, think it through—if you've made up your mind, don't hesitate."

"Mother is still young; I can help you raise the child."

She also wanted to hold a grandchild.

If the daughter gives birth to a big, fat boy, that would be even better.

Of course, not now—they haven't held the wedding banquet, nor truly married yet, but they should note one thing.

Jiang Luolan reminded her daughter repeatedly, she must pay attention.

After marriage, they can do whatever they like.

This is the most basic courtesy; if the daughter hasn't taken that step, she will surely have the daughter restrain herself a little, not to take that step.

Now it's too late; we can only settle for second best.

"Mother, the daughter knows."

Shang Hongxue nodded bashfully; she knows what's important and won't act recklessly.

Jiang Luolan smiled indulgently, embraced her little daughter—she hadn't held her in a long time.

Shang Hongxue enjoyed this, being embraced by her mother, just like in the old days.

Another day passed.

Inside the alchemy furnace, there was great commotion.

Father-in-law was nearly done for; Chen Chuyang hurriedly let him out.

He infused true qi and vital energy, then urged Father-in-law to cultivate quickly—this timing is most suitable for cultivation.

When the body reaches its limit, one can use this opportunity to break through the limit and thus advance.

Father-in-law Shang Yingnian's body had reached its limit; only one step away, or rather, lacking just a bit of external force, he could enter Condensing the Pill.

This step has been stuck for a long time, just like Chen Chuyang's father—without external help, it's very hard to take this step.

And now, what Chen Chuyang must do is help him take this step, fulfilling the purpose of this mountain trip.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law came up the mountain together—wasn't it just for Condensing the Pill?

They had made preparations; Chen Chuyang naturally wouldn't be stingy—these are his parents-in-law, like his own parents.

He invested a large amount of spiritual herbs and resources to help Father-in-law solidify his body, polish his limits, then break through them.

The father-in-law sat cross-legged, frantically absorbing heaven and earth Qi.

This caused a change in Longshe Shan.

This change was significant; Jiang Luolan and Shang Hongxue rushed over, their gazes immediately landing on Shang Yingnian sitting cross-legged on the ground. The mother and daughter exchanged a look, their pupils widening.

"Mother, Father seems to be about to break through." Shang Hongxue reacted first, excited beyond measure.

That step, Father was about to take it.

Just one step away.

One foot at the threshold.

Jiang Luolan couldn't help clenching her fists, worried sick.

"Condensing the elixir, but it involves crossing a tribulation—what if."

Shang Hongxue quickly comforted: "Mother, no need to worry; with Chuyang gege here, Father will be safe."

She blindly trusted Chen Chuyang.

Nothing could stump Chen Chuyang.

"Hopefully."

Time passed bit by bit.

Above, the sky turned dark.

Dark clouds gathered.

Chen Chuyang glanced, grabbed his father-in-law's shoulder with his right hand, and lifted him away from Longshe Shan.

"Hongxue, don't leave Longshe Shan; I'll go and come back quickly."

"Okay." Shang Hongxue replied loudly, watching her mother, not letting her leave Longshe Shan.
