Zhuxin slightly turned her body away, her expression complex as she lifted her head to look at Jiang Huai and Qin Qingyue, who was lazily sprawled over him.
She could clearly feel that the originally warm and jade-like Jade Liquid True Qi within her body was being replaced and transformed by a more majestic energy.
Even the very foundation of her cultivation was quietly being reshaped, bursting with new vitality.
This was a rare and extraordinary opportunity that countless cultivators could only dream of but never obtain.
If this news were to spread, let alone becoming a concubine, even if they had to beg and kowtow, from the North Sea Dragon Palace to the South Sea Dragon Palace, the line of female cultivators waiting would never end.
This was also a path to pursue strength without sacrificing Yao’er.
“How does it feel? Has it all been absorbed smoothly?” Qin Qingyue lifted her delicate dragon head, full of interest as her dragon eyes swept over the two women.
Su Yingman elegantly turned to the side, still kneeling on the meditation mat, resting one arm on the armrest of the dragon throne, tilting her head back with a smile.
“Reporting to Main Wife, the absorption has been very smooth.”
“This Innate Primordial Qi is truly extraordinary and profound.”
Qin Qingyue focused her mind and inquired, “Explain carefully—what exactly is this Innate Primordial Qi? Does it have any connection to the Chaos Dao Platform?”
Su Yingman paused briefly, a strand of pure female spiritual power gathering at her fingertips as she slowly explained:
“Since learning that my husband possesses a Yin-Yang Body, I have consulted many ancient texts related to it.”
“Ordinary cultivators cultivate by opening the Qi Sea and drawing Qi into their bodies, allowing spiritual power to flow steadily through the meridians in a complete cycle.”
“The so-called Jade Liquid Qi Refining is the process of tempering spiritual power to be extremely pure and dense, making the Qi Sea broad and resilient. The spiritual power flows like a gentle stream, almost liquefied, warm and steady—hence the name.”
She emphasized:
“But Innate Primordial Qi is not spiritual power. It is the remnant of the primordial Qi from the very beginning of Heaven and Earth, which lays the foundation of the Qi Sea.”
“This Qi Sea is not the same Qi Sea but a manifestation of the primordial chaos just opened.”
In other words, it was as if the cultivator’s body was replaying the creation of Heaven and Earth, carving out a new world from the chaos.
Qin Qingyue furrowed her elegant brows, closing her eyes carefully to sense her own Qi Sea, attempting to find the “primordial chaos” image that Su Yingman mentioned.
But she found nothing.
“Really? Why can’t I sense any chaotic scene at all? I only feel that the Innate Primordial Qi is vast and overwhelming, completely replacing the original Jade Liquid True Qi, circulating throughout my body.”
At this moment, Jiang Huai spoke to confirm: “It seems that way inside my body.”
“It’s not exactly a Qi Sea but more like a chaotic scene.”
Inside him, it really felt like the creation of Heaven and Earth was unfolding.
Su Yingman nodded, “Perhaps because what Main Wife and Sect Leader Zhu have obtained are the sub-Qi differentiated from Husband’s original source.”
“Therefore, they only gained its power, but not its image.”
Qin Qingyue’s dragon head still rested on Jiang Huai’s spiritual sword pattern as she fell into deep thought.
She instinctively wanted to savor the feeling more, but with Su Yingman and Zhuxin right there, she held herself back.
Suddenly, Su Yingman leaned closer, kneeling on the mat, her pretty face drawing near to observe intently.
Qin Qingyue’s red dragon eyes instantly widened, her dragon body instinctively arching into a defensive posture, her mouth slightly open as if to snarl.
What does this mean? Rebellion?
I’m still lying on top of you, and you want to speak now?
No manners at all?
“What are you doing!” Qin Qingyue’s dragon roar was low and warning, her claws slightly raised.
As if ready to strike like lightning in the next second.
Su Yingman finally came back to her senses, smiling sheepishly, but her gaze remained fixed, carefully feeling, even reaching out a finger to cautiously weigh it, her eyes shining:
“Main Wife, I think this is a treasure.”
“It contains pure Innate Primordial Qi. Even if it can’t be used to transform others’ bodies through dual cultivation, it itself is an irreplaceable precious medicine.”
She became more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new world:
“We are about to establish the Nine Heavens Palace, so why not use this as the main ingredient to refine a unique elixir?”
“We can name it the ‘Innate Primordial Qi Pill.’ If there are talented or meritorious Qi Refinement stage female disciples in the sect, they can be awarded one.”
“No matter what, this pill will have unimaginable benefits for Qi Refinement cultivators. Perhaps it can help them build a Jade Liquid foundation stronger and more solid than their peers.”
She seemed to see a brilliant future and spoke passionately:
“When Husband’s cultivation advances and he condenses the Golden Core, I might even be able to refine the Chaos Dao Platform Pill. If his Nascent Soul is complete, we can try making the legendary Primeval Golden Core!”
“If this continues, how could the Nine Heavens Palace not be filled with talents, standing proudly over the Five Provinces?”
With Jiang Huai stationed here, it was like having endless top-tier cultivation resources. The sect’s rise would be only a matter of time.
Su Yingman knelt on the ground, carefully weighing it with delicate hands as if it were a treasure.
Qin Qingyue couldn’t help but feel tempted as well, her dragon eyes flickering with contemplation.
This suggestion was indeed very enticing.
Zhuxin listened quietly nearby, sensing some truth but also feeling it was highly inappropriate.
Having sect female disciples take pills derived from the Young Master… what kind of propriety would that be? If word got out, wouldn’t Nine Heavens Palace become more disgraceful than the Hehuan Sect?
Jiang Huai’s expression was troubled; he felt this was very improper.
He shook his head repeatedly:
“I don’t agree.”
This was truly beyond what he could accept.
Zhuxin glanced at him, thinking silently, If you oppose this now, do you even know what kind of ingredients Yao’er’s pills originally contained?
But she did not say it aloud.
In the end, Qin Qingyue weighed the pros and cons and rejected the bold proposal with a sigh:
“This world is full of capable people. If we really do this, and someone discovers that Jiang Huai has a Yin-Yang Body, it will cause trouble.”
“If I ascend to the Immortal Realm one day, who among you can guarantee his safety, resisting the waves of covetousness from all corners?”
“It’s better to be cautious. Forget it.”
The ambition that had just been sparked in Qin Qingyue rapidly cooled at the thought of the dangers Jiang Huai might face.
Su Yingman showed a deeply regretful expression but still spoke unwillingly:
“Main Wife’s concerns are well-founded. Since that’s the case, large-scale pill refining will no longer be mentioned.”
“But such a rare treasure left to dissipate is a great waste.”
She changed tack and offered a compromise:
“When the holy daughters of other top sects travel, aren’t they always surrounded by geniuses and peers to protect them?”
“Since Young Master has such… uh, peerless resources, why not carefully select one or two girls around the same age, with reliable temperaments, and cultivate them seriously to practice alongside Husband?”
She explained in detail: “If cultivated properly, they can become another safeguard for the sect’s future. When accompanying Husband exploring the Secret Realm, they can protect him, so Main Wife wouldn’t have to intervene every time.”
“Moreover, this doesn’t require exceptional talent but focuses more on temperament and loyalty.”
Zhuxin heard this and instinctively wanted to recommend her daughter Zhu Siyao. When it comes to treasures, naturally, family comes first.
But the words stuck in her throat.
Thinking of her current awkward position, if her daughter were to join now, wouldn’t that make things… complicated between them?
At this thought, Zhuxin fell into deep inner conflict and embarrassment.
She could never truly accept becoming sisters with Siyao.
Qin Qingyue, who understood Jiang Huai’s character well, pondered for a moment before making a decision:
“This matter depends on fate.”
“Talent is not the most important; temperament, character, and affinity with Jiang Huai are far more critical.”
She began to arrange the follow-up:
“The Secret Realm will open soon, and I will personally lead Jiang Huai to the entrance.”
“At that time, it will be the perfect opportunity to announce the founding of Nine Heavens Palace to the Five Provinces and recruit talented people!”
“As for this peer protector… let it be fate.”
Jiang Huai gently tapped Qin Qingyue’s cold dragon head and whispered, “I’ll follow your lead.”
