Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 429

Chapter 429

It seemed this demonic snake, at the cost of its last breath, cast the curse poison onto Li Su. Even if Li Su operated his true essence, using all his strength to resist, this curse toxin was still spreading on his body. Moreover, Li Su realized that even if this curse toxin spread throughout his body, it would not take his life.

When this serpent was alive, it couldn’t match Li Su’s strength. Even in death, it attempted to harm Li Su with a curse toxin. However, this curse toxin brought about dreadful negative effects. For instance, it caused continuous misfortunes, forcing Li Su to constantly expand his true essence to resist. During battles, the flow of true essence became less smooth.

In short, it would be extremely troublesome if this thing was not expelled or its spread wasn’t stopped. Once it spread throughout the body, the problem became even greater.

Li Su wasn’t worried. He could eliminate the negative effects by consuming his cultivation base. However, a considerable cultivation base was needed, and Li Su hadn’t received a large reward yet.

The current tribulation-crossing energy could last a long time, but if it spread throughout his body, the consumption might increase by more than tenfold. This was a nightmare for cultivators undergoing the calamity of decline.

Li Su asked Yunyan for a solution to dispel the curse toxin. Yunyan explained that stopping its spread was crucial. She suggested finding evil cultivators proficient in curses in the Netherworld to clear it later.

As the negative effects manifested, Li Su realized the urgency. Yunyan suggested using a somewhat unconventional method involving Yuanyin, but it required a powerful cultivator. Li Su hesitated but understood her willingness to sacrifice.

Yunyan, feeling uneasy, proposed helping Li Su by delaying the curse using her cultivation. Li Su, realizing the severity of the situation, agreed. Yunyan suggested guiding her Yuanyin to resist the curse toxin.

After Yunyan decided to sacrifice herself for Li Su, they were transported to a luxurious building in a bedroom. Li Su approached her, and Yunyan was trembling. She allowed him to place her on the bed.

The Small Spirit Realm embraced the onset of night, its vast expanse explored by Li Su and Yunyan, leaving only the core untouched.

It indeed blocked it, Li Su contemplated inside the room.

Utilizing Yunyan’s essence and a unique technique, Li Su successfully halted the cursed poison from spreading throughout his body for a year.

Perfect timing for some research, Li Su thought, acknowledging the sinister nature of curses they might encounter. While Li Su could clear the curse by absorbing cultivation, he pondered the potential threat to his loved ones.

With Li Su’s alchemical prowess, he could develop targeted elixirs, but now wasn’t the time for research. The room remained unusually quiet. Yunyan, having saved Li Su, avoided eye contact.

Li Su debated how to proceed, considering not taking advantage yet also feeling the allure of the moment.

“The curse is stopped, thank you,” Li Su expressed his gratitude softly.

After a pause, Yunyan hesitantly responded with a quiet “Hmm.”

Sensing Yunyan’s unease, Li Su proposed waiting until she was ready to discuss marriage. Understanding Yunyan’s feelings, Li Su reassured her they could take their time.

Days later, with the curse lifted, Li Su focused on alchemy while Yunyan continued exploring.

Yunyan eventually opened the core area, and three days had passed since that night. Yunyan appeared to have returned to normal, planning to leave the Small Spirit Realm to help Li Su with the remaining curse.

Li Su, now cured, decided to experiment with alchemy to develop a remedy for the curse.

His goal expanded to creating elixirs effective against various curse types and crafting protective garments. Encountering the curse was a blessing for Li Su, who also acknowledged the significant gain from that night with Yunyan.

Unfortunately, it remained a singular experience, as pursuing more would be inappropriate after her sacrifice. Gazing at the elegant silhouette of clouds in the sky, Li Su reminisced about that enchanting night, feeling slightly tempted once again. He wondered when he might get another opportunity.

In the distance, Yunyan seemed to sense Li Su’s gaze, a subtle blush appearing on her charming face. Li Su continued his alchemical pursuits, successfully crafting a pill after a month, though he felt it lacked potency.

Undeterred, he continued refining, utilizing the spiritual herbs and medicines obtained in the Small Spirit Realm. After another month, the second pill proved more effective, prompting Li Su to consider further improvements.

“Another tweak, and it should be perfect,” he murmured.

Just as he was about to refine it again, Yunyan approached.

“Li Su, have all the spirit stone mines been excavated?” he inquired.

Yunyan nodded, “Not yet,” then added, “Li Su, I think I’m pregnant.” 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

“Pregnant?” Li Su was momentarily stunned, then realized Yunyan was indeed expecting.

Overjoyed, he stood up, taking Yunyan’s hand, “Let me see.”

Yunyan blushed but didn’t resist as Li Su confirmed her pregnancy. Li Su hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly and was delighted at the prospect of becoming a father.

As they embraced the news, Li Su couldn’t help but think that Yunyan, with her long life spent mostly in cultivation, might not be well-versed in conception matters.

“Yunyan, let’s have the baby. I’ll take care of it,” he said, feeling pleased.

Despite initial doubts, Yunyan agreed with a shy “Hmm.”

In this calm period of decline, having a child wasn’t a significant concern for Yunyan. Li Su was delighted by the unexpected turn of events, considering it almost like fate.

“Okay, now take a good rest. I’ll handle the rest, and once I craft another potion, we should be able to break this curse poison.”

Li Su said.

Their substantial connection was evident now that Yunyan was expecting, though not officially married to Li Su. Li Su was reluctant to let her take action again.

Yunyan seemed ready to resume the mountain opening, but Li Su stopped her. So, for the next month, Yunyan stayed nearby, observing Li Su refining pills.

With the sudden pregnancy, Yunyan appeared to be dealing with a significant psychological impact. She spent more time lost in thought, sometimes gazing into the distance or at Li Su, occasionally touching her belly.

As time passed, she devoted more time to watching Li Su. After a month, Li Su successfully concocted the third pill.

The color on Li Su’s arms quickly faded upon consuming it, dispelling the curse poison. Though terrifying, the cursed poison couldn’t withstand Li Su’s formidable alchemical skills.

Seeing Li Su dispel the cursed poison quickly, Yunyan’s eyes lit up with admiration. She realized her man seemed quite remarkable.

“Yunyan, thanks for buying me time. Otherwise, this pill wouldn’t have resolved it,” Li Su said, coming to her side.

Yunyan’s face blushed slightly.

“In a few more months, once we’ve emptied the core area, let’s leave,” he suggested.

Li Su arrived at the core area, searching for spirit stones and spiritual treasures. Soon, he found one and used the Hexagram Sword to excavate the spirit stone ore inside.

After three months, Li Su’s harvest was impressive. Still, a few months were left, and Li Su didn’t let Yunyan take action.

Yunyan’s belly had slowly begun to grow.

After another month, while excavating, Li Su sensed something.

“Who?”

Li Su’s spiritual consciousness surged in a certain direction, detecting a form of immortal charm.

Immortal!

Li Su realized it was the thought of an immortal, a sensation emerging from a semi-transparent figure.

At this moment, Yunyan also sensed the change in Li Su’s spiritual consciousness and looked in that direction.

The thought of an immortal had already manifested into a semi-transparent figure there.
