When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

When the rain stops and the clouds disperse, the house returns to peace.

"Song'er, are you worried about something?" Xie Changyan asked softly when he saw Jiang Song staring at the gauze above the bed, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

Jiang Song came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and shook his head, "Nothing."

Du Shulan wants to ruin her reputation?

What methods will this vicious woman use?

Jiang Song was unsure, but she knew that she had to be on guard at all times and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage.

She gently turned over, facing Xie Changyan, and reached out to caress his cheek. "Husband, a few days ago, Ankang helped me drive away the evil spirit. I just found out that he is actually a cultivator. He is really amazing."

Xie Changyan grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly on his lips.

"Well, Ankang has a miserable life. Eighteen years ago, he was abandoned on the street on a snowy day. It was my grandfather who picked him up and brought him back to the Xie Mansion. He was just a baby at the time, his body purple from the cold, and he was almost dead."

"Later, by chance, he was accepted as a disciple by a wandering Taoist priest. He studied immortal arts and ten years later, he became a cultivator with some accomplishments."

"He stayed at the Xie family this time to help me find life-saving herbs, in order to repay the Xie family for raising him."

Jiang Song glanced at Xie Changyan and saw that he was honest and didn't seem to be hiding anything. He was moved, "So that's how it is. Ankang is really a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Xie Changyan nodded, "Indeed, although his personality is a bit cold, he has a kind heart and is loyal to the Xie family."

Jiang Song smiled and said, "With him at home, I feel much more at ease."

Xie Changyan stood up, poured a glass of wine from the ink-colored wine pot on the bedside table and handed it to Jiang Song.

"This is the tranquilizing wine that Divine Doctor Xue specially prepared for you. It's called 'Dream Return' and is said to help you sleep and relieve your restlessness."

Jiang Song took the wine glass and took a sip. He felt that the wine was mellow and sweet. He couldn't help but secretly praise Doctor Xue for his superb medical skills and even his cocktail-mixing skills.

She lay down gently, placed the wine glass on the small table beside the bed, and watched Xie Changyan blow out the candle, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

However, the moonlight outside the window shone through the gauze screen, adding a hazy light to the house.

Jiang Song felt light all over, and her complicated thoughts gradually settled down. She closed her eyes and let herself sink into the soft bedding.

Xie Changyan lay down beside her, stretched out his long arms, and took her into his arms, "Song'er, sleep peacefully, I'm here with you."

His voice was low and gentle, as if it had a magical power that could dispel all anxiety and worries.

Jiang Song hummed softly, leaned into his arms, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.

Perhaps it was the effect of the "Dream Return" wine, or perhaps it was because Xie Changyan's embrace was too warm, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she slept extremely soundly, without even being disturbed by dreams.

After Jiang Song fell asleep, Xie Changyan gently extended a gentle spiritual power, which quietly flowed through her meridians.

The Dream Return Wine just now was brewed with the Bone Tempering Pill as the main ingredient, supplemented by a variety of spiritual herbs. It can not only calm the mind and help sleep, but also nourish the meridians and strengthen the body during sleep.

He knew that Jiang Song had already embarked on the path to immortality, but his foundation was still shallow.

To practice the art of controlling thunder, one must have a strong physique and tough meridians as support. Otherwise, if one is not careful, one will suffer backlash, which may result in serious injuries or even death.

Therefore, he specially asked Doctor Xue to prepare this dream-returning wine for her, hoping that it could help her.

Xie Changyan's spiritual power traveled around Jiang Song's body. Seeing that her meridians were stable and there was nothing unusual, he slowly withdrew his spiritual power and breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on Jiang Song's forehead, his eyes full of tenderness and doting, "Song'er, I wish you a good dream tonight."

After saying that, he also lay down, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing and relax his mind.

In March, willow branches gently brush against the blue water bank, and spring flowers smile in the warm sunshine.

Jiang Song spent more than two months of peaceful days in Xie's house.

Every time, apart from listening to lectures, practicing calligraphy, practicing martial arts and drawing talismans, he would enter the Yunmiao Immortal Palace to practice after entering a state of meditation.

At this time, her cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining, and she was only one step away from entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

Foundation-building cultivators can gradually practice fasting, and their lifespan will increase to two hundred years, which means they have truly stepped onto the threshold of the path to immortality.

At the moment when the foundation is successfully established, the cultivator's body will undergo a comprehensive cleansing of the marrow and bones, expelling impurities from the body, and his qualifications will also be improved to a certain extent.

Therefore, foundation building is an important opportunity for cultivators to be reborn.

At that time, you can study the art of flying with a sword and truly experience the freedom and ease of those who practice Taoism.

At the same time, after establishing their foundation, cultivators with thunder-type spiritual roots like Jiang Song will be able to advance from the method of attracting thunder to the art of controlling thunder, and their strength will be significantly improved.

Just thinking about the various benefits of becoming a foundation-building cultivator is enough to make Jiang Song excited and full of anticipation.

However, she also knew that building a foundation was not an easy task. It required sufficient spiritual energy and understanding, as well as some opportunity and luck.

She was neither anxious nor impatient, but persisted in practicing every day, accumulating spiritual energy, tempering her character, and waiting for the opportunity to build her foundation.

In addition to practicing, Jiang Song also did not forget to guard against Du Shulan's plot.

In the past two months, Du Shulan has been silent, as if she has given up on dealing with Jiang Song.

But Jiang Song knew clearly that this vicious woman would never give up. She must be secretly plotting something and would strike suddenly when the time was right.

Countering each move with a countermove and responding to changes with the same strategy is Jiang Song's current response strategy.

After practicing for so many days, Jiang Song clearly felt that his strength, speed and reaction had improved a lot compared to before.

The replenishment of spiritual essence pills was not in vain. It allowed her to absorb and refine spiritual energy faster, laying a solid foundation for foundation building.

However, there are only six left out of the twenty Lingyuan Pills I bought. It seems I have to find a way to earn some spirit stones and buy some more pills.

That afternoon, Jiang Song practiced a set of sword techniques in the martial arts field as usual. He worked up a light sweat, took a shower and changed his clothes, then headed to Tianbao Tower.

A month ago, she combined thunder magic and talismans to create a "thunder talisman" to ward off evil spirits and put it on consignment at Tianbao Tower. She didn't know how the sales were going, so she went to take a look today.

As Jiang Song entered Tianbao Tower, he saw Xie Fuxing coming to greet him with a smile on his face. "Miss Jiang, you're finally here! I was waiting to tell you the good news!"

"Oh? Where does the good news come from?" Jiang Song's heart moved. Could it be that her thunder talisman was sold?

Xie Fuxing pulled out a bill from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Song. "The thunder talismans you consigned have been selling very well these days, and there are only a few left. Here is the bill, please take a look."

Jiang Song took the bill and looked at it. It recorded every transaction in detail, and the selling price and quantity of the thunder talismans sold were clearly stated.

After a rough calculation, she found that thirty thunder talismans were sold for nearly three hundred low-grade spirit stones!

After deducting the commission from Tianbao Tower and the cost of raw materials for refining the thunder talisman, she could still make a net profit of more than 200 spirit stones, which was far beyond her expectations.

"so much?"

"Miss Jiang, you may not know that your thunder talisman is very effective in exorcising evil spirits, and its power is moderate, so it will not harm innocent people. It is very suitable for use by low-level cultivators and mortals."

"These days, the city is in turmoil, with evil spirits appearing frequently. Your thunder talismans are in short supply."

Jiang Song was delighted when he heard this. The idea of ​​refining thunder talismans was a sudden inspiration he had after being attacked by ghosts last time. He didn't expect that it would have such a good market response.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Why are there so many evil spirits in the city? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that there's been a lot of unrest in a mass grave in the west of the city lately. Evil spirits are often seen appearing, injuring and killing people."

"The authorities have organized several exorcism operations, but they have had little effect. The evil spirits seem to be endless and cannot be completely eliminated.

Jiang Song's heart moved.

Mass grave in the west of the city? Evil spirits?

Isn't this the source of the black magic that had previously troubled her?

Could it be that those evil spirits are related to Du Shulan’s conspiracy?

or……

Never mind, she is just a small Qi-refining cultivator. She would just be giving away her life if she went there. Let’s wait for the authorities to deal with it.

Jiang Song picked out some pills and talisman paper in Tianbao Tower, bought some spiritual materials needed to refine talismans, and then left Tianbao Tower.
