50- Ethereal Radiance Pill?

Inside the family room of the mansion within the LOG treasure, Long Xiu and Shen Yin were seated on the couch, engaged in a conversation about Xu Fang. Long Xiu revealed to Shen Yin how Xu Fang had rapidly grown stronger and explained the benefits she gained in return.

"Sister Yin, you know, today after lunch, when Husband was on his way to your place, Xu Min pulled him into her room..." Long Xiu began sharing the details she had learned from Xu Fang about Xu Min.

"So, we have Xu Min as our sister now, but Husband hasn't engaged in Dual Cultivation with her yet, as Elder Sister Yu would be upset if she found out," Shen Yin commented with a smile.

"Exactly. The husband just informed Xu Min that he has two wives but hasn't disclosed our names to her yet. He asked me to meet Xu Min, guide her, and assist her in entering and leaving the LOG treasure since he hadn't imprinted her soul with his Qi yet. So, she requires him or anyone with his Qi imprint on their soul for access to the treasure," Long Xiu informed Shen Yin about Xu Min.

"Xu Fang is indeed doing well. Also, you mentioned that even if he comes inside us, we don't get pregnant because of the techniques he practiced," Shen Yin commented to Long Xiu with an admiring smile.

"Yes, Sister Yin, now that you know everything, you can begin learning this technique. It will assist you in cultivating Yang Qi during Dual Cultivation with Husband," Long Xiu said, waving her hand to produce a scroll that she handed to Shen Yin.

Shen Yin didn't utter a word; she simply nodded with a slight blush and commenced learning after unrolling the scroll.

At the same time, Shen Yin delved into learning the Yin Qi-absorbing technique known as 'Moon Heats.'

In the dimly lit throne hall of the Harean Empire's Castle, Emperor Chen Tong sat upon his throne, his presence commanding. The air was thick with anticipation as the cloaked spy kneeled before the emperor once more.

"Report. What news do you bring from your surveillance of Xu Fang?" Emperor Chen Tong's voice resonated in the chamber, a mix of curiosity and expectation.

"Your Majesty, Xu Fang continues his studies as usual. However, there have been some interesting developments," the spy began, speaking in hushed tones.

"Tell me more," Emperor Chen Tong leaned forward, intrigued.

"Xu Fang has taken up Alchemy," the Spy continued.

"He frequents the Ledal Alchemy Association, delving into the secrets of pills-making and transmutation."

"Alchemy, you say? How fascinating. It appears their young talent chose to be mediocre." A faint smile appeared on Emperor Chen Tong's face.

"Indeed, Your Majesty. Moreover, I noticed that when Xu Fang ventured out of the castle to visit the Alchemy Association, he was accompanied by a small group of guards. They remained in the shadows, but their presence was unmistakable," Shadow confirmed.

"They're cautious; I'll give them that. But caution won't shield him from his destiny," Emperor Chen Tong chuckled softly.

"Should I continue monitoring his activities, Your Majesty?" Spy asked, ever vigilant.

"Yes, but discreetly. We don't want to alert him to our watchful gaze. Let him think he operates in secrecy while we gather the information we need," Emperor Chen Tong instructed.

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Spy replied, bowing deeply before departing.

Alone once more, Emperor Chen Tong reclined on his throne, a calculating gleam in his eyes. The game was on, and he savored every moment of it.

Meanwhile, Xu Fang stood in front of the Alchemy Tower, ready to create the Ethereal Radiance Pill.

~Xu Fang's POV~

Entering the Alchemy Tower, I proceeded directly to level 3. Upon arriving in front of the pill furnace, I took a seat and waved my hand, summoning a pill recipe scroll into my grasp. Opening the scroll, I began to read the details of the concoction.

'Pill Name: Ethereal Radiance Pill

Description: A rare concoction that heightens the natural aura of the opposite sex, infusing their Yang Qi with a luminous glow. This pill not only enhances physical beauty but also bestows an ethereal allure that captivates others, fostering admiration and respect.

Ingredients: Spirit Blossom Petals, Phoenix Feather Essence, Moonstone Powder, and Golden Lotus Nectar'

Closing my eyes, I entered a brief state of meditation, searching for the necessary ingredients. Upon locating them, I waved my hand, and all the required Spirit Blossom Petals, Phoenix Feather Essence, Moonstone Powder, and Golden Lotus Nectar appeared in my grasp.

I channeled my Qi, summoning a light blue fire that I directed toward the pill furnace to heat it. After a few seconds, I opened the furnace lid and simultaneously added all four ingredients required for creating the Ethereal Radiance Pill.

A few seconds after opening the lid of the pill furnace and adding all four required ingredients for the Ethereal Radiance Pill, I focused on my Qi fire. Increasing its intensity, I extracted essences from all the ingredients simultaneously, ensuring thorough mixing during the refinement process.

Gradually decreasing the Qi fire, I transitioned to the next step—forming the pill shape. Once the pill took its desired form, I increased the Qi fire once more, initiating the final refinement process. It didn't take long before the distinct sounds of success resonated from the furnace.

"Boom~, boom~, boom~."

The pill had been successfully created. I stood up, picked up the Ethereal Radiance Pill from the furnace after opening the lid, and saved it in storage. Leaving the Alchemy Tower, I made my way towards the mansion, curious to see what Long Xiu and Shen Yin were doing.

On my way to the mansion, I checked the herb garden to observe the growth of herbs. Upon arriving in front of my mansion, I entered and found Shen Yin sitting on the couch in the family room with her eyes closed.

Long Xiu, who was sitting beside Shen Yin, turned her head towards me upon my arrival but refrained from speaking, not wanting to interrupt Shen Yin's learning.

I walked towards an available couch and took a seat. Moments later, Long Xiu stood up from her seat and settled onto my lap. I wrapped my hands around her waist, and she, in turn, wrapped her arms around me, resting her head on my shoulder.

'So, Xiu Er, did you tell her everything?' I inquired about Long Xiu's conversation with Shen Yin through our mental connection.

'Yes, I informed Sister Yin of what you instructed me to tell her,' Long Xiu replied in my mind.

'Great. Now, do you want to join me and Yin Er today?' I asked Long Xiu.

'Husband, honestly, I did want to join, but it's Sister Yin's first time with you, and I didn't want to come between you two today,' Long Xiu responded in my mind.

'Don't worry, Xiu Er. If I don't use my power to recover my vitality today, even if both of you cannot win against me,' I assured Long Xiu through our mental connection.

'Husband, are you challenging us?' Long Xiu asked inquisitively.

'No, my hot queen. I'm just stating a fact. In my current condition, I would easily win against you two. Secondly, today I created a Tier 3 'Ethereal Radiance Pill,' which is more potent than what I used during our first Dual Cultivation,' I explained to Long Xiu.

'Ethereal Radiance Pill? Does it have the same effect as the Pure Yang Pill?' Long Xiu queried.

'It has a higher effect. I also enhanced the purity of my Yang Qi after I consumed this pill.' I conveyed it to Long Xiu.

"Xu Fang, you've come back already," Shen Yin spoke up as she opened her eyes and noticed my presence in the family room.

"Oh, Yin Er, you finished learning the technique?" I inquired when I heard her voice.

"Yes, I'm done learning it," Shen Yin replied with a smile.

"Yin Er, there's something I want to know. Have you heard about the Pure Yang Lotus?" I asked her with a serious expression.

"Pure Yang Lotus? I think I read about it somewhere. Why are you asking?" Shen Yin questioned with a curious expression.

"I need that Pure Yang Lotus to build my body foundation and purify my Yang Qi," I explained, maintaining a serious demeanor.

"Building a body foundation? Purifying Yang Qi?" Shen Yin asked with surprise.

"Yes, Yin Er. If you come across any information about it, let me know immediately, even if it's the most valuable thing here," I urged her with a serious expression.

"Okay, I will inform you if I find any information about the Pure Yang Lotus," Shen Yin promised with determination.

"For now, I'll take the help of this pill to purify my Yang Qi a little more than before." I waved my hand, and a pill appeared.

"What's this pill? Show me," Shen Yin asked when she saw the pill in my hand.

"This is the Ethereal Radiance Pill, a Tier 3 pill. It had a higher effect when you guys cultivated my Yang Qi after I consumed this pill." I explained to her about the pill.

"Tier 3? Ethereal Radiance Pill? Where did you get it?" Shen Yin asked me with a surprised expression, as it was her first time hearing about this pill.

"I created it before coming here," I informed her, and she stood up from the couch, taking the pill from my hand.

Shen Yin waved her hand, summoning a pill-checking needle. She inspected the pill, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Yo... Are you already able to create Tier 3 pills with flawless quality?" Shen Yin exclaimed after checking the pill in her hand.

"Sister Yin, don't be shocked. Husband has a lot of secrets, so you'll get used to them later, like me," Long Xiu told Shen Yin with a smiling face.

"Yin Er, are you ready?" I asked Shen Yin with a smile, and she nodded, her face blushing.

I then moved my hands on Long Xiu's waist, and she stood up from my lap, wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.

"Xiu Er, do you want to join?" I inquired, but Long Xiu declined.

"Husband, it's Sister Yin's first time, so I want her to be alone with you," Long Xiu explained.

"Sister Xiu, if you want to join, I don't mind," Shen Yin said with a shy tone.

"Husband, can you put me down?" Long Xiu asked, and I obliged. Once on her feet, she moved beside Shen Yin and handed her a green jade.

"Sister Yin, you can enjoy your first time with our Husband, but if you need my help during Dual Cultivation, just break this jade, and I'll come to your room," Long Xiu told Shen Yin with a smile, surprising her.

"Husband, go easy on Sister Yin," Long Xiu said, turning towards me with a teasing smile.

"Sister Xiu, what do you mean by that? I'm a strong woman," Shen Yin responded with a slightly angry tone.

"Sister Yin, don't be angry. I'm just telling you the truth. The husband is strong in bed. If I say the right word, he is stronger than any man in the world," Long Xiu explained to Shen Yin with a smile, then turned her head towards me.

Shen Yin also looked at me with a shocked face, and I reassured her with a smile.

"Yin Er, don't listen to her. She's just teasing. I'm going to the room to consume the pill," I said to her and took a pill from Shen Yin's hand.

Shen Yin nodded, and I entered her room. Sitting on the floor after removing my clothes, I placed the pill in my mouth and started to consume it.
