Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 43: Ding Shen Dan Today's additional update includes two more chapters.

  To thank you for your support over the past two days, I'll be adding two more chapters today, making it a total of four updates. A small explosion, that's all, I won't say more, I'll continue writing, brothers hold on!

  After leaving the Yue family's military barracks, Yue Cheng and Su Xiner sent Yan Xiaoqi back to the Yan family. Yan Xiaoqi invited Yue Cheng and Su Xiner to sit at the Yan house, but was politely declined by Yue Cheng. On the way back to the Yue house, Su Xiner kept holding onto Yue Cheng's arm without saying a word.

  "Xin'er, what's wrong?" Yue Cheng asked, looking at Su Xin'er, this little girl seemed a bit off.

  "Brother-in-law, Xiaoqi sister said you carried her on your back before, but it's been a long time since you've carried me." Su Xiner pouted and looked at Yue Cheng.

  "She was injured and couldn't walk that time, so I carried her on my back." Yue Cheng said, wondering what this little girl wanted to do again.

  "I don't care, you have to carry me now, or I won't go." Su Xin'er stood firmly in place and refused to move, looking at Yue Cheng with pitiful eyes.

  "Alright, I'll do it." Yuchen looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby, so he agreed. Besides, Yuchen wasn't the same as before, and this kind of good thing was naturally something he'd be happy to do for Su Xiner, a little girl he had some feelings for in his heart, but these things were all suppressed by Yuchen, now everything was less important than breaking through his cultivation.

  "This is just right." Su Xiner immediately became happy, her slender body jumped onto Yue Cheng's back, remembering when she was a child, her older cousin would often carry her like this, and at that time, she felt an indescribable joy.

  Su Xiner tightly leaned on Yue Cheng's broad shoulders, her hands gently wrapped around his neck, as if she had returned to her childhood.

  Yue Cheng's feeling at this moment was completely different, he felt Su Xiner's already fully developed and mature pair of high and full jade breasts tightly pressed against his back, a faint scent also wafted from Su Xiner's body to his nose, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited.

  Yue Cheng's hands gently wrapped around Su Xiner's thighs, his fingers spread open, lightly stroking the inside of her thighs, feeling the softness in his palms, and his hands involuntarily moved a few inches further up.

  "Brother-in-law, do you like Xiaoxi sister a bit more or Xiner a bit more?" Su Xiner whispered in Yue Cheng's ear.

  "This, you and your elder brother are just the same." Yue Cheng couldn't help but smile wryly at Su Xin'er's question. It seemed that this little girl had already developed physically, but mentally she was still a child.

  "That's right, Brother-in-law, you'll have to marry both me and Sister Xiaoqi in the future." Su Xiner continued to whisper sweetly into Yue Cheng's ear. In the Xuantian mainland, it was very normal for men to take multiple wives, and she and Yue Cheng were only cousins by marriage, so this was a perfectly normal thing.

  "Alright, no problem." Yue Cheng couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Su Xin'er's words. This little girl was indeed still immature.

  After returning to the big house of his wife's family, there was nothing much for the next few days. Except for being entangled by Su Xin'er every day to accompany her for a while, the rest of the time was spent on cultivation by Yue Cheng, and his cultivation was also slowly breaking through.

  "Xin'er, I've helped you find all the medicinal herbs you were looking for." Four days later, Yue Zifeng made a special trip to find Yue Cheng. The medicinal herbs on the list that Yue Cheng had given him had taken a lot of effort to find, and had also cost him a lot of gold coins.

  "Thank you, Uncle Feng." Yue Cheng took over the large pile of medicinal herbs from Yue Zifeng's hands. With these herbs, he could now start refining the Ding Shen Dan.

  "That Ten Thousand Year Xuan Gang is really hard to find, I asked many people but none of them knew. However, yesterday I accidentally heard a piece of news that someone saw the tracks of Ten Thousand Year Xuan Gang near the Gemini Sea." said Yue Zifeng.

  "Shuangzi Sea?" Yue Cheng had memories of Shuangzi Sea, which was actually a vast and enormous sea area. Because there were two large islands not far apart in the sea area, it was called Shuangzi Sea. Many aquatic magical beasts often appeared on the sea, and alchemists liked to go there because the inner elixirs of the magical beasts could be refined into some good medicinal pills. However, it was also very dangerous, and sometimes four-stage or five-stage powerful magical beasts would appear near Shuangzi Sea.

  After Yuezi Peak left, Yue Cheng came directly to the mountain cave behind the mountain. He casually set up a ban and sat cross-legged on the stone bed inside the mountain cave. Now that he was already in the middle of his cultivation, it was time for him to take the Ding Shen Dan.

  The most important thing for a cultivator is the soul and divine consciousness. After entering the opening period, there will be the existence of divine consciousness in the mind of the cultivator. The effect of Ding Shen Dan is to stabilize and solidify the divine consciousness, and after breaking through to the fetal breathing period, there will be great benefits.

  Yue Cheng placed the Wan Shou furnace in front of him, and then arranged the medicinal materials for refining the Ding Shen Dan, as well as the most important Xue Ling Chi, beside the Wan Shou furnace. Refining the Ding Shen Dan might take seven days, and if it were to be ranked, Yue Cheng thought that the Ding Shen Dan should be within the fourth rank of dan medicines.

  With a calm and focused mind, Yue Cheng formed a familiar hand seal in his hand, circulating the true energy within his body. Two intense flames quickly condensed in his hand and poured into the Beast Refining Furnace. In an instant, the furnace emitted a loud roar of beasts, and its interior turned bright red.

  Yue Cheng was still relatively satisfied with the Wan Shou furnace, although the inside had already been roasted to a uniform red by the Supreme True Fire, but the outside of the Wan Shou furnace remained warm and calm as usual.

  He picked up a handful of medicinal materials and threw them into the Wan Shou furnace. Yue Cheng's hand seal changed, and two strands of Supreme True Fire slowly wrapped around the medicinal materials. Refining elixirs requires testing one's spiritual power. For example, when refining medicinal materials, if the flames are too strong, they will destroy the materials, while if the flames are too weak, they cannot refine the materials. At this time, one must rely on their spiritual power to control the size of the flames. Although refining elixirs is a great test of spiritual power, it also tempers and strengthens one's spiritual power.

  Half a day later, the first batch of medicinal materials had been refined by Yue Cheng. A yellow pellet the size of two fingers floated in the Wan Shou furnace, and a rich spiritual energy also emanated from it. His cultivation gradually improved, and Yue Cheng found refining fourth-grade elixirs to be increasingly effortless.

  The second batch of medicinal materials was again thrown into the Wan Shou furnace by Yue Cheng, and the two strands of flames in his hands also wrapped around the medicinal materials, re-refining them. This process was repeated until all the medicinal materials were refined.

  Just on the seventh day of Yue Cheng's closed-door alchemy, someone returned to the Yue family, and Yue Zifeng was overjoyed. The one who came back was his daughter Yue Jiao, whom he had been thinking about all day. Five years ago, Yue Jiao entered the Douqi Academy in the giant city. According to Yue Jiao, this time she came back to help her teacher recruit students for Lying Town, and she set out a few days earlier to return home and make arrangements. The teachers and classmates of the Douqi Academy should arrive in a few days.

  Half a month later, Yue Cheng finally stopped refining the elixir. Originally, it would take seven days to refine a Ding Shen Dan, but Yue Cheng had already used up all the Rebirth Elixirs he had refined last time, so he refined another batch of about ten or more. The Rebirth Elixir was very useful for Yue Cheng's current cultivation level.
