Shen Qiang intended to teach the beautiful fairy Qin Yurou the refinement of elixir pills. After all, she was now his person; they had whispered sweet nothings and pledged to spend their lives together. If he couldn't trust her now, then no one in this world was trustworthy. Moreover, the key point was that the beautiful fairy Qin Yurou was from Medicine King Valley. Her alchemy skills were top-notch in the cultivation world, and during the Elixir Pill Competition, after Shen Qiang withdrew, she won the championship with no dispute.
Besides that, she was also the campus belle and a top student at the Medical University.
So if there were anyone in this world who could become a remarkable alchemist, it was undoubtedly her.
What's more, the dangers in the cultivation world were omnipresent. Shen Qiang was not worried about his safety, but he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
That is, in case something happens to Shen Qiang.
If Qin Yurou could also refine the elixir pills that bring in enormous wealth daily, then the Heshenghe Shen Family would continue to prosper.
The ladies' lives wouldn't become difficult due to his unforeseen accident.
Shen Qiang taught her heartily, slowed down his actions, creating conditions for Qin Yurou to learn stealthily.
And Qin Yurou was also overjoyed, carefully observing Shen Qiang's every move while refining alchemy.
"Every pill of Shen Qiang's is of divine grade. The reason for such results must lie in his alchemy process. How great would it be if I could learn it?"
But although she thought about learning secretly, Shen Qiang had slowed down his actions.
Unfortunately, even after a long time of watching, Qin Yurou, aside from her growing admiration for Shen Qiang, did not genuinely learn anything.
"His True Yuan changes too quickly, it's profound and mysterious. It's entirely impossible to learn by stealing. As expected, learning his alchemy skills cannot be achieved this way. It seems that to truly learn, I can only humbly ask him for guidance. I wonder if this bad guy will laugh at me?"
With eyes full of admiration, the beautiful fairy Qin Yurou, her expression charming and her face flushed, gazed at Shen Qiang and unwittingly fell into a daze. Unconsciously, she tightened her legs. The charm in her eyes and brows, if seen by people in the cultivation world, would surely shock them.
Because at this moment, the beautiful fairy Qin Yurou was not just any Nine Heavenly Immortal. Her rosy lips smiled lightly, her bright eyes glimmered. She clearly resembled a captivating Su Daji!
These happenings might seem lengthy when recounted, but in fact, Shen Qiang's entire alchemy process was very quick.
In a matter of minutes, the elixir pills were completed.
Shen Qiang finished his work.
Just about to observe whether Qin Yurou had learned his alchemy skills, he quickly noticed her. That charming and seductive appearance, filled with the essence of spring all over her, made him instantly feel like laughing helplessly. He thought to himself.
"Stop imagining things. Looking at her expression, you can tell her mind wasn't focused on alchemy at all."
Though he understood this in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
So, Shen Qiang smiled and waved his hand to release the pills.
In an instant, strange incense filled the air.
Qin Yurou, who was lost in thought, snapped back to reality. Then, looking at the plump and round dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills, she exclaimed in surprise, "Shen Qiang, the pills are formed! Are these Foundation Establishment Pills?"
"Of course, genuinely so!" Shen Qiang chuckled, "Do you want to taste one?"
Qin Yurou giggled, "I don't have such extravagant tastes. These Foundation Establishment Pills, if put up for sale, will definitely fetch a sky-high price. The wealthy in the mortal world would go crazy for them."
Shen Qiang smiled casually and said, "For now, I won't announce the Foundation Establishment Pills to the public, and I'm not planning to sell them. Find a bottle and help me store these elixir pills first."
"Alright!" Qin Yurou responded immediately. Then Shen Qiang saw Qin Yurou find several exquisite bottles and jars, all not very big. It seemed she was struggling with which bottle to use for storing the elixir pills.
Shen Qiang laughed and, from his storage ring, took out a large jar of mixed fruit preserves, handing it to Qin Yurou, "Eat the preserves, and use the jar for storing the pills."
Qin Yurou chuckled, frowning, "You are so rough. These precious elixirs are worth their weight in gold. Even using a jade bottle feels like shortchanging them, and here you tell me to use a preserve jar?"
At that moment, Shen Qiang opened the jar, handed one to Qin Yurou, and took one himself, eating while saying, "These things, while currently limited in materials, can be refined in quantities of several thousand without issue, so just go with the preserve jar, or else it's too much trouble."
Qin Yurou's eyes smiled with joy and awe.
And as she started organizing those Foundation Establishment Pills, though she knew it would be like this, she couldn't help but feel her heart pound.
"Divine grade, indeed, each one is of divine grade!"
Meanwhile, in Jinyu Huacheng's city center, on the top floor, Shen Qiang's former residence.
Xin Xiaoting stood in the living room after tidying up.
Holding the house key in her hand.
She kept putting it on and off the coffee table repeatedly, not knowing how many times.
This made Su Xiaonuan, who was standing by the staircase in pajamas, smiling with her eyes curved.
"Xiaoting, what are you doing?" Su Xiaonuan pretended not to know, coming down from upstairs.
Xin Xiaoting, fiddling with the key, was startled, clutched the key tightly like she had touched an electric wire, then said, "Oh, nothing. I just feel I should go back to work."
Hearing this, glancing at Xin Xiaoting's packed suitcase, Su Xiaonuan smiled, "No rush to go to work. You can work whenever you like. I thought you wanted to throw Shen Qiang away."
These words made Xin Xiaoting tense, not just clutching the key unconsciously, but also became complex in expression.
"How could I? He is the man I love most in my life. I'll never leave him. It's just sometimes, I feel I may not be worthy of him, so I wonder if I should leave, to avoid dragging him down."
Su Xiaonuan chuckled softly, saying, "Silly girl, don't you know what kind of person Shen Qiang is? Even if you do nothing now and just shop and play mahjong all day, letting him support you, he'd never say a word of complaint. So, rest assured, Shen Qiang is a bit of a flirt, but his core is good."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting's expression showed a bittersweet smile as she said, "Actually, I often find it hard to sleep now, thinking if only I were a cultivator, how nice that would be. Even if my cultivation was low, I could still act spoiled before him."
Listening to this, Su Xiaonuan sighed, "Silly girl, do you think you are the only one who thinks this way? I do too. I dream of being a cultivator myself, so we could all speak the same language. But alas..."
As she was speaking, Xin Xiaoting's phone rang.
"It's Shen Qiang."
Xin Xiaoting said in surprise to Su Xiaonuan and then answered the call.
"Xiaoting, I have good news. My pills are ready. If you want to become a cultivator, come to the Mountain Villa immediately, as soon as possible! I have a heaven-shaking opportunity to bestow upon you!"
