Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 192: The First Step to Capture the Holy Maiden (12)

Heaven and Earth Temple, Holy Maiden's Chamber.

Ning Xian'er sat on the edge of the bed, eagerly took out a glass medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, and poured out a Heavenly Countenance Pill onto her hand.

The pill was only the size of a soybean, with a purplish color and wisps of medicinal aura swirling around it. It smelled very fragrant.

"Does it really have ten times the effect of a beauty pill?"

Ning Xian'er expressed doubt about this and felt that Chen An had exaggerated the efficacy of the pill.

But she could only find out by taking it.

However, before taking it, she had to test the medicine to see if it was poisonous.

Although the Holy Maiden appeared young on the surface, she was actually over two hundred years old and was not an innocent and naive girl. She behaved very maturely in many matters.

It was just that sometimes she had to consider her image, so she would act a little naive.

"Well, it's not poisonous."

"There are no gu worms inside."

"It's just a normal pill."

After verifying it.

Ning Xian'er slightly opened her red lips, put the Heavenly Countenance Pill held between her thumb and index finger into her mouth, and tasted it before swallowing it.

Afterwards, her eyes narrowed, and a life-sized ice mirror condensed in front of her to observe the changes that might occur next.

After just a moment, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her eyelashes had grown longer, her eyes were brighter, her skin had become fairer, her lips had become rosier, and various parts of her body had been beautified.

"That Chen steward didn't lie to me. The effect of this Heavenly Countenance Pill is really more than ten times that of a beauty pill!"

"And, it can also affect the whole body!"

"I have to contact him immediately and develop him as my subordinate before my master discovers this secret!"

Thinking this, Ning Xian'er couldn't contain her excitement and immediately took out a sound transmission talisman to contact Chen An.

...

Inside the Cave Mansion.

In Wen Zhiyun's room.

Chen An was working hard while Wen Zhiyun bit her lip tightly without making a sound.

Suddenly, the sound transmission talisman in the storage ring trembled.

Sensing that it was the sound transmission talisman given by the Holy Maiden that was trembling.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, took out the sound transmission talisman from the storage ring with a thought, and then let the sound transmit outside.

"Steward Chen, I have an important matter to discuss with you. Please come to the Heaven and Earth Temple as soon as possible."

"Oh, and don't forget to bring a glass medicine bottle with you."

"I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the temple. Hurry."

This was the voice of the Holy Maiden, Ning Xian'er, very sweet and refreshing to listen to.

However, when it fell into Wen Zhiyun's ears, she only felt that the tone of the Holy Maiden was a bit artificial, filled with a hint of green tea fragrance.

This was naked prejudice.

But it was also a kind of dissatisfaction.

She was dissatisfied that this young and beautiful Holy Maiden had set her sights on her husband, and she developed hostility towards the Holy Maiden.

"Husband, what does this Holy Maiden want with you?"

When Wen Zhiyun asked this question, she also reached out and patted Chen An's waist, urging him to continue.

Chen An continued his movements and said, "I'm not sure about the specific reason the Holy Maiden wants to see me, but I think it should be about the Heavenly Countenance Pill."

"What about the Heavenly Countenance Pill?"

"When I sent the Holy Maiden out earlier, I gave her three Heavenly Countenance Pills to please her and try to get closer to her. If she said the effect was good, she would take the initiative to contact me. I guess that's why she's looking for me now."

"Why do you want to get closer to her? Do you have any ulterior motives?"

"What ulterior motives could I have towards her?" Chen An explained, "You have to think about it. The Holy Maiden is superior to tens of thousands of people in the Heaven and Earth Sect. If our family can establish a relationship with her, our future days will be much better."

"Heh." Wen Zhiyun sneered, disdainfully glanced at him, and said, "I think you want to bring her home as a concubine and enjoy her every day."

Chen An just smiled and didn't say anything, silently burying himself in his work.

From the tone of the jealous concubine just now, he could feel a strong sense of sourness.

This was not good.

He needed to add some sugar to neutralize it.

After more than a quarter of an hour.

[Fire Spirit Root Talent +5]

Chen An got up, satisfied, and put on his clothes.

Before leaving, he sent a sound transmission to his wives and daughters at home, telling them that he was going out for a while.

After that, he flew on his sword towards the Heaven and Earth Temple.

...

Heaven and Earth Temple.

At the entrance.

When Chen An was about to fly over, Ning Xian'er's voice came from below.

"Steward Chen, over here!"

He followed the voice and saw Ning Xian'er, dressed in a plain white silk robe, sitting on a giant tree, looking up at him with a smile.

His divine sense was blocked...

The Law Weapon grade on the Holy Maiden's body was really high...

Thinking this, Chen An flew on his sword and stopped in front of Ning Xian'er, respectfully calling out, "Holy Maiden."

"Steward Chen, no need to be polite. Please follow me."

After saying that, Ning Xian'er took out a flying sword and flew in a direction away from the Heaven and Earth Temple.

Chen An didn't understand, but silently followed along.

After a moment.

The two arrived at a mountainside.

And stopped in front of a cave.

"Saintess, where is this?" Chen An asked in confusion.

Ning Xian'er replied, "This is a mysterious Cave Mansion that I discovered decades ago. Inside, there is an unnamed formation that can shield any means of detection. Once we hide inside, no one can find us."

"Why are we here?" Chen An doubted if the Saintess wanted something to happen between them, but upon careful consideration, he felt it was unlikely.

Ning Xian'er smiled and said, "I want to observe the process of Chen An refining the Heavenly Countenance Pill."

Chen An humbly said, "Since the Saintess wants to watch, then I will show you my humble skills."

He knew that Ning Xian'er wanted him to prove that he was the one who refined the Heavenly Countenance Pill.

After entering the cave.

Ning Xian'er thoughtfully took out a pill furnace for Chen An and said to him, "Chen An, please tell me what medicinal materials you need for refining the Heavenly Countenance Pill. I secretly moved all the medicinal materials from the palace."

She moved all of them? That's asking for trouble...

Chen An thought to himself and then said, "No need, Saintess. I have sufficient medicinal materials in my storage ring for refining."

"In that case, Chen An, please begin the refining process. I want to observe it closely," Ning Xian'er said, sitting on a stone nearby, resting her elbow on her jade leg and supporting her chin with one hand.

Chen An admired this picturesque scene for a moment.

Then he quickly sat down and began the refining process of the Heavenly Countenance Pill.

The materials for refining were common, and the techniques used were ordinary.

But there were many details in the refining process.

If even one step was not done perfectly, the Heavenly Countenance Pill would fail to be refined.

As for observation, even if Elder Li from the alchemy hall came to observe, he would most likely not be able to steal the techniques.

After about half an hour.

The Heavenly Countenance Pill was successfully refined.

Only two pills were refined.

This was also the reason why he was able to finish refining so quickly.

"Saintess, it's done. Please take a look," Chen An said.

"You're really fast," Ning Xian'er praised.

Then she eagerly picked up the two Heavenly Countenance Pills that Chen An handed over.

She carefully examined them in front of her eyes for a moment.

After confirming that there were no problems, she swallowed one of the pills.

Immediately, an ice mirror formed in front of her.

The Saintess is a water-root cultivator...

Chen An thought to himself.

After a while.

Ning Xian'er put away the ice mirror and looked at Chen An with satisfaction, nodding her head, "Not bad, really good. Chen An, I have high hopes for you. Within a hundred years, you will become an elder of the alchemy hall."

"Saintess, you flatter me," Chen An modestly replied.

Ning Xian'er smiled and said, "This is not flattery at all. Chen An, you deserve this evaluation."

"Chen An, from today onwards, you will become an exclusive alchemist under my command. I will inform Elder Li about this in a few days."

"I wonder if you are willing?" Ning Xian'er asked with pure and flawless eyes, her face full of innocence and charm.

Chen An had no reason to refuse. He immediately bowed slightly, lowered his head respectfully, and said, "I, Chen An, will be the Saintess's right-hand man from now on, solving your worries and difficulties."

"By the way, Chen An, did you bring the glass medicine bottle I asked you to bring earlier?" Ning Xian'er asked.

"I did," Chen An thought, and then took out a glass medicine bottle containing three Heavenly Countenance Pills from his storage ring, respectfully handing it to Ning Xian'er.

Ning Xian'er took the glass medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, and saw three Heavenly Countenance Pills inside. A bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

She put the remaining Heavenly Countenance Pill into the glass medicine bottle, then put the bottle into her storage ring, and smiled like a lily.

"Chen An, from now on, please regularly refine the Heavenly Countenance Pill for me. I can guarantee that within fifty years, you will become an elder of the alchemy hall."

"Thank you for nurturing me, Saintess!" Chen An pretended to be grateful.

At this moment, he was puzzled.

Each branch of the Heaven and Earth Sect could only have one elder.

But the Saintess said that within fifty years, she would make him the elder of the alchemy hall. How would that work?

Could it be that she and Elder Li were at odds and she wanted to strip him of his elder position?

Chen An couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think too much about it.

All he knew now was that he had completed the first step in conquering the Saintess.
