Chapter 74: The Man Who Possesses Three Heaven Earth Meridians

【You have obtained Primordial Qi】

As Lu Xun expected, the bound reward really was Primordial Qi.

While his lips had not yet left Bai Ling, Lu Xun hurriedly sent the Primordial Qi to Bai Ling.

One minute later, all the Primordial Qi entered Bai Ling's body.

Only then did Lu Xun leave Bai Ling.

Bai Ling remained frozen in place, her almond eyes wide open, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, standing still like a startled fawn, obviously having lost the ability to react from this sudden kiss.

Lu Xun waited patiently.

After several minutes, Bai Ling finally blinked lightly.

When she saw Lu Xun up close, her fair cheeks instantly flushed with rosy clouds, even her ears taking on a cute pink hue.

"Bai Ling, I'm sorry just now, I couldn't control myself...."

"It's fine, boss." Bai Ling flailed her hands nervously, her gaze wandering, her voice mosquito-small: "I don't blame you, don't feel guilty."

She really is a kind girl; even after being kissed by Lu Xun, she still worries about him feeling guilty.

At that moment, her expression suddenly tightened, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as if sensing changes within her body.

The next second, her expression suddenly relaxed, brilliant light burst from her eyes, and her lips unconsciously curled upward.

"What's wrong, Bai Ling?"

"Boss, Elixir Meridian, my Elixir Meridian is recovering!"

Bai Ling's face was full of delight.

She clearly felt that her long-abandoned Elixir Meridian was regaining vitality.

"Indeed, it works."

The Primordial Qi took effect.

"Great!"

Bai Ling couldn't help but cheer.

The Elixir Meridian is her lifeline; it can be said to be even more important than life.

Without the Elixir Meridian, her spirit wheel cannot function, other spirit meridians are similarly affected, and she cannot cultivate.

Bai Ling clearly possesses a spirit wheel formed from nine major spirit meridians and numerous minor ones, yet she has no cultivation, precisely because of this.

Now, the Elixir Meridian is actually recovering.

This directly pulled her out of her desperate situation.

"Bai Ling, recovery is urgent."

Lu Xun reminded.

"Okay, boss."

Bai Ling hurriedly sat down, immersing herself completely in the recovery of her Elixir Meridian.

【Bai Ling's Nine-turn Elixir Meridian has been restored; the host gains thirty times Bai Ling's harvest.】

【The host obtains the Creation Elixir Meridian.】

【The host will open the Heaven Earth Meridian, unable to fully conceal the phenomenon, and will release part of the phenomenon.】

One hour later, the system's prompt appeared.

Creation Elixir Meridian!

Good fellow, another Heaven Earth Meridian.

Lu Xun didn't expect that Bai Ling's Elixir Meridian recovery would also be returned.

Now, Lu Xun has become a man possessing three Heaven Earth Meridians.

In his body, where the Chaos Divine Meridian originally resided, another Heaven Earth Meridian appeared.

This is the Creation Elixir Meridian.

Upon appearing, it merged with the previous two Heaven Earth Meridians into a whole, becoming part of the Chaos Divine Meridian.

At the same time, the phenomenon reappeared in the sky.

All that could be seen was cinnabar clouds scorching heaven; the cloud layers seemed torn apart by an invisible force, crimson-gold elixir fire pouring down like a torrential rain, yet upon touching the ground it flashed into illusory spirit medicines, which took root and instantly withered—a scene like the miraculous spectacle of myriad medicines arising and perishing.

Moreover, above the horizon, a huge illusory elixir furnace woven from cinnabar clouds slowly emerged, from within came a booming sound like bells and drums.

Inside, elixirs floated up and down, transforming into nine brilliant stars, linked in a line.

Another phenomenon.

Cinnabar clouds scorch heaven, the mysterious furnace refines nine stars... Elixir Meridian, this means an Elixir Meridian has appeared in the world!

Above the horizon, someone noticed this scene.

Since this phenomenon was caused by Lu Xun, under the system's limits its scope was not large, and besides, phenomena almost occur daily in the capital, so this phenomenon did not alarm many people.

Still, several streaks of light came from afar.

When the streaks of light approached, the phenomenon was already nearing its end.

This phenomenon was harshly limited by the system.

Fortunately, if people found out it was me who caused it again, they'd inevitably suspect.

Lu Xun let out a sigh of relief.

The previous two Heaven Earth phenomena were still okay to talk about.

This Heaven Earth phenomenon happened to be triggered by Bai Ling's Elixir Meridian recovery; if people found out, they might make some associations.

Better to keep quiet and make a fortune.

Xiao Ling! Has your Elixir Meridian recovered?!

A figure descended from the sky, saw Bai Ling, assumed the Heaven Earth phenomenon was caused by Bai Ling, and couldn't help but show ecstatic joy.

Thank you for your concern, Jia family head, Bai Ling's elixir meridian has indeed recovered.

Bai Ling's expression instantly turned cold, her tone aloof as if facing a stranger.

Her words caused the arriving man to pause.

He is the Jia family head, the leader of the Jia family conglomerate, and Bai Ling's biological father.

Now Bai Ling addresses her as the Jia family head and calls herself Bai Ling—clearly she intends to draw a clear line with the Jia family.

"Little Ling, don't blame me; the Jia family is huge, with many elders still present, I alone can't decide too much."

The Jia family head let out a sigh.

He felt some regret.

After Bai Ling's elixir meridian was ruined, he did not insist on keeping her.

However, who could have imagined back then that Bai Ling's elixir meridian could still recover?

"Jia family head, you're joking; Bai Ling has no right to blame you, and Bai Ling won't make things difficult for you—from now on, Bai Ling will never set foot in the Jia family again."

Bai Ling's tone was resolute, causing the Jia family head's expression to change abruptly.

"Little Ling, don't be like this; I swear to heaven, as long as you're willing to come back with me, the position of heir remains yours."

The Jia family head raised his hand.

Bai Ling shook her head: "No, that home does not belong to me."

Having said that, she strode toward the nearby road, preparing to hail a cab there.

Seeing her so resolute, the Jia family head slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh.

"Young brother, you're Little Ling's friend, right? Please help me deliver this card to her; the password is her birthday."

The Jia family head handed Lu Xun a card.

Lu Xun thought for a moment, then accepted it.

If he himself were the protagonist of this matter, he would certainly not take it.

But the Jia family head is ultimately Bai Ling's father; Lu Xun wants to leave the choice to her.

"Jia family head, why don't you consider why Bai Ling's elixir meridian went wrong?"

After taking the card, Lu Xun suddenly asked.

This question left the Jia family head stunned.

"Young brother, are you suspecting... someone tampered with it?"

The Jia family head hesitated a moment, then asked.

He wasn't without such suspicion; he just couldn't find any evidence.

To silently ruin Bai Ling's elixir meridian—what a tremendous difficulty that would be.

"Jia family head, do you know that this morning Bai Ling also encountered an assassination attempt?"

Lu Xun then threw out another question.

"An assassination? Who did it!!!"

The Jia family head's eyebrows rose, and a fierce anger surfaced in his eyes.

"I was just about to ask the same," Lu Xun shrugged, and as he turned to leave he added, "Since the Jia family head doesn't know either, I take my leave!"

"You really aren't going back?"

A few minutes later, in the ride-hailing car, Lu Xun asked.

"Mm," Bai Ling gazed at the scenery flying past outside the window, her eyes firm, "I'm not going back."

"That's fine."

That's fine; the Jia family has many people who wish Bai Ling ill—if she were to return now, new problems might arise before long.

If she truly must return, it would be later.

For now, refining some elixirs on Qingbei Jie isn't bad.

Once her elixir meridian recovers, she can quickly refine third-grade elixirs.

Her cultivation progress will likewise be swift.

This elixir meridian, a Heaven Earth Meridian, is formidable not only because elixir refining is powerful, but also because continual elixir refining can enhance one's cultivation.

In other words, Bai Ling does not need to deliberately cultivate.
