~6 min read 1,168 words

"Brother Chuyang, who came…?"

Shang Hongxue was curious about who had arrived, and Brother Chuyang went to greet personally, rushed over, then saw Jing Yuheng and Qi Ruohua behind Chen Chuyang, his eyes locked on Qi Ruohua.

Qi Ruohua also sized up Shang Hongxue; the two stared at each other without speaking, continuously appraising one another.

Jing Yuheng sensed something, hurriedly stepped back; this place was dangerous, she could not… stay here, lest she be caught in the crossfire.

Chen Chuyang coughed, "Cough, Hongxue."

Shang Hongxue recovered, nodded at Qi Ruohua, then looked at Jing Yuheng; regarding these two, her eyes held a hint of scrutiny, as if a wife were appraising her own sisters.

Shang Hongchen noticed the shift in the situation, looked over, stared at Qi Ruohua and Jing Yuheng; she recognized Qi Ruohua and muttered inwardly, "Why is she here?"

"Also, Chen Chuyang himself went to greet Qi Ruohua; is there something between them?"

She always felt there was something between them; Qi Ruohua found Chen Chuyang's gaze strange, full of questions.

As a woman, she understood that look all too well, a feeling unlike a typical woman's gaze at another woman, but rather a woman's gaze at her own man—very odd.

Tianlian Zhenren glanced at Qi Ruohua, then at Jing Yuheng, turned back to the disciple beside him and said, "Hongchen, see? He is very popular."

Qi Ruohua's arrival gave Tianlian Zhenren a sense of pressure, a great pressure directed at his disciple.

Shang Hongchen squinted, stared at Qi Ruohua with an unfriendly look.

Like a battlefield of demons, Chen Chuyang also sensed the terrifying atmosphere.

"Come with me."

Shang Hongxue quickly spoke; as the host she could not diminish her presence, leading Qi Ruohua and the others up the mountain into the house's main hall, where she began pouring tea and water, showing the host's sincerity.

At the same time, she was also displaying her status as the primary wife to Qi Ruohua and the others.

She is the mistress of Longshe Shan; no one else can take it away.

Even if you are Qi Ruohua, it is the same.

Qi Ruohua gave Shang Hongxue a faint smile, her gaze gentle.

She radiated goodwill, also stating her intention: this time she came not to contest the mistress of Longshe Shan, nor to take Chen Chuyang, she had no such thought.

Perhaps Shang Hongxue sensed this kindness, gave a faint smile, and the icy atmosphere eased.

Jing Yuheng exhaled deeply, fearing they might fight.

Chen Chuyang lifted his head and asked, "Why are you coming to see me at this time?"

Qi Ruohua flicked her hair, said lightly, "I've run out of pills in my hand and need a batch. It's been a long time since I visited Longshe Shan, so I want to see what changes have occurred there."

Another purpose was to see Shang Hongxue; after all, she is also Chen Chuyang's woman, and she couldn't let the rightful master remain unaware, could she?

She readily admitted this.

Chen Chuyang naturally sensed their shift and said, "As for pills, I happen to have a batch just refined."

"Besides the Dragon Blood Pill and the Burning Blood Pill, I also refined a bottle of Calm Spirit Pill; you should need it."

"Calm Spirit Pill?" Qi Ruohua exclaimed, "You really managed to refine it?"

The formula for the Calm Spirit Pill was given to Chen Chuyang by Qi Ruohua, but the prescription had some flaws, incomplete.

Some ingredients were missing, making refinement impossible.

In the short time given, he completed the formula and even directly refined the finished product.

"This is the Calm Spirit Pill."

Chen Chuyang handed her a bottle of Calm Spirit Pill; Qi Ruohua unhesitatingly took it, opened the cap, inhaled, and the calming aura steadied her soul.

Just one sip, and her soul seemed to gain a slight uplift.

Such an uplift is terrifying; soul elevation is the slowest and hardest, impossible without a corresponding cultivation technique.

It can only improve a little alongside cultivation, and soul cultivation techniques are scarce; in this world there are few, most are incomplete, and no one dares to practice them recklessly.

Taking the Calm Spirit Pill can strengthen the soul; it is a premium pill.

"How many did you refine?"

Qi Ruohua wanted as many Calm Spirit Pills as possible; she would take them all.

Its effect is powerful, not inferior at all to the full version of the Calm Spirit Pill; Chen Chuyang's repaired version may be even stronger.

"Not many, just a few batches."

"Materials are scarce, I dare not refine many."

Qi Ruohua reached out and said, "Give me everything; tell me how much material you need, and I'll gather it for you."

"Whatever you need in the future, just tell me, I can fulfill it."

She is rich and magnanimous.

She is like an emperor of a dynasty: not much else, but abundant resources.

Within the entire dynasty, most resources belong to her; the resources of disobedient families have all been seized.

Obedient families naturally receive a portion of the resources.

Qi Ruohua controls the crucial link—pills and techniques—silencing those people and forcing their loyalty.

All the pills Chen Chuyang refined were taken by her, not allowed to circulate; the Chen Clan's pills are first‑grade, at most second‑grade, high‑quality pills, and Chen Chuyang is reluctant to let them spread.

Even if the Chen Clan possessed them, they could not be sold, as it would invite lethal trouble.

A family lacking the corresponding strength that controls undeserved resources will bring about a clan‑annihilating disaster.

Chen Chuyang also would not give the Chen Clan many high‑grade resources, only a few to the matriarch and patriarch.

Others receive only low‑grade pills, sufficient for their use; those who cannot even condense pills cannot make use of high‑grade ones.

"Here you go."

Chen Chuyang produced several bottles of pills and handed them to her; since she is a rich lady, he could only give them to her.

With the materials in hand, you can refine Calm Spirit Pills yourself in the future.

"I also have a batch of Hundred Beasts Pills here; would you like some?"

"Hundred Beast Pill?" Qi Ruohua thought for a moment, as if could not recall this kind of pill.

Behind her, Jing Yuheng stepped forward, leaned close to Qi Ruohua's ear and whispered a few words softly; Qi Ruohua's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

After speaking, Jing Yuheng retreated to his original spot.

Qi Ruohua stretched out again: "Give them all to me; I need them all."

The Hundred Beast Pill works very well on demon beasts; within their dynasty, among the Black Dragon Guard, there is a group of people who possess demon‑beast bloodlines, and they can also make use of it to strengthen their own demon‑beast lineage.

The Hundred Beast Pill is just right for them to use; precisely, this pill is what they need most, and compared with other pills, the Hundred Beast Pill is more important.
