When Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan stepped into the yard, Chen Jingyuan, Xie Dahahua, Xie Erhua and Xie Xiaohua immediately ran over to greet them!
"My dear, you are finally back!"
"Master, you finally found my sister."
When they saw Wang Xinyao's injured foot, they couldn't help but feel sad and tears rolled down their cheeks.
Wang Xinyao forced a smile and comforted him, "Look, I'm fine, aren't I? I just suffered some minor skin injuries, nothing serious. This python did a lot of evil, and now we have gotten rid of it."
Zhao Haoxuan also echoed, "Yes, don't worry, I'm here to protect Miss Wang."
After hearing this, Chen Jingyuan said with a determined look in his eyes: "I also want to be as strong as Master and protect everyone!"
The other children agreed and said they would practice harder in the future.
At this moment, they noticed the huge python that was broken into two pieces and was dragged behind Zhao Haoxuan. The four of them were terrified and took a step back involuntarily: "Ah, python..."
Fortunately, they all practiced martial arts. Even the youngest, Xie Xiaohua, panicked a little but regained his composure. After all, they were not afraid as long as their mother and master were there!
Wang Xinyao looked at these sensible children and felt very pleased.
Together, they carried the python's carcass outside to begin processing. Cutting the flesh, its firm texture, proved a real challenge. The knife seemed to encounter stubborn resistance, its firmness evident with every stroke. After several people patiently cut, they finally managed to carve the thick flesh.
Next came the process of cleaning the python's internal organs. The gallbladder was the most nutritious, especially since it was a large, spirited python. Wang Xinyao removed the gallbladder and carefully set it aside. Then, she began cleaning the remaining snake's internal organs with deft, efficient movements. The children helped, sorting and arranging the processed snake meat and internal organs.
Suddenly, they found another glittering bead in the python's guts, the same size as the snake's gallbladder. Could this be the inner elixir of a spirit? Everyone was surprised! But how could they divide it?
Wang Xinyao stared at the inner elixir in her hand, her heart tangled. If she gave it to Chen Jingyuan, he was still young and might not be able to withstand such a powerful force. If she gave it to Xie Dahua and the others, they were just beginning their martial arts journeys, and this inner elixir might be too powerful for them. Keeping it for herself would seem too selfish. After all, as long as she didn't face an extremely fast attack, she had the pistol and the space to protect herself.
After careful consideration, Wang Xinyao decided to give the inner elixir to Zhao Haoxuan. He was the strongest, his enemies were more formidable, and the risks were greater. Without hesitation, Wang Xinyao handed the inner elixir to Zhao Haoxuan and said, "Young Master Zhao, this inner elixir is yours. Please refine it quickly to enhance your strength."
However, Zhao Haoxuan firmly declined, "No need, keep it for yourself. I am strong enough, and you often go out and the danger is higher, so it is better for you to keep it." He did not want to see Wang Xinyao in danger again.
"Don't worry, I will protect myself! The python today is a special case. Ordinary attacks are not as fast as its speed. As long as the attack is not too fast, I have the ability to protect myself! But you are different. You need to improve your strength faster. We will all rely on you for protection in the future." Wang Xinyao still wanted to give him the inner elixir.
"I can't accept it." Zhao Haoxuan said firmly.
Wang Xinyao hesitated for a moment. She knew that Zhao Haoxuan was thinking about her safety, but she also understood the importance of the inner elixir to him.
"This is the inner elixir of a spirit. The energy inside must be incredibly high," Wang Xinyao exclaimed. After a moment's contemplation, she said, "How about this? We divide it into three portions. You and I will each have one, and Jing Yuan will get the smaller portion. This way, we can both increase our strength while preventing explosions from concentrated energy. As for the snake gallbladder, we'll make a soup and share it among Dahua and the other three sisters."
The others nodded in agreement after hearing Wang Xinyao's suggestion. Then, Wang Xinyao carefully cut the inner elixir into three parts, two of which were slightly larger and the other was relatively smaller.
After dividing the inner elixir, Wang Xinyao became busy again. She skillfully put the snake gall into the pot to make soup, and also cooked some tender snake meat.
As time went by, the night grew darker and darker, and all around was quiet. Wang Xinyao and the others sat around the campfire, savoring delicious snake meat while enjoying this rare peace and quiet.
After eating the snake meat, they began to refine their inner elixir, and everyone consciously entered a state of cultivation. They sat cross-legged quietly, closed their eyes, and felt the power surging in their bodies.
Even Xie Dahua, Xie Erhua, and Xie Xiaohua, who had drunk the snake gall soup, noticed something strange in their bodies. Although they didn't know much about cultivation, Zhao Haoxuan had given them guidance. Seeing the others practicing diligently, they followed their example and sat cross-legged obediently.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone was immersed in the world of cultivation, as if forgetting everything around them. They silently absorbed the spiritual energy of the inner elixir and snake gall, constantly improving their strength.
Wang Xinyao successfully broke through to the peak of martial arts. She really didn't expect that half a small inner elixir could bring such a big breakthrough in her cultivation.
Suddenly, Wang Xinyao felt a powerful aura emanating from Zhao Haoxuan. She opened her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to discover that Zhao Haoxuan had made a breakthrough! His face was brimming with confidence and joy, but Wang Xinyao couldn't discern his true strength.
At the same time, Xie Dahahua, Xie Erhua, and Xie Xiaohua woke up one after another, felt the changes in themselves, and their eyes flashed with excitement.
"Miss, milf, I think my strength has improved to the fourth-level warrior that Master mentioned!" Xie Dahua said to Wang Xinyao excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy and pride.
"Girl, girl, I have become a level three warrior! I can protect you from now on!" Xie Erhua was also very excited. She clenched her fists, feeling the power surging in her body, with a confident smile on her face.
"Girl, girl, I have become a warrior too. I can protect you in the future!" Xie Xiaohua said in a baby voice. Her voice was clear and pleasant, with an innocent look that made people feel pity for her.
However, Chen Jingyuan did not wake up. He closed his eyes tightly, frowning, as if immersed in deep meditation. Suddenly, his face became ferocious and distorted, veins bulged on his forehead, his hands waved wildly, and his breath was as uncontrollable as a wild horse.
His eyes flashed with a frenzied and chaotic light, as if he had been eroded by some evil force and lost his self-awareness. His body twitched from time to time, his muscles tensed, as if he was in great pain.
The surrounding atmosphere also became unusually strange. The originally peaceful and tranquil place of cultivation was now filled with tension and anxiety due to Chen Jingyuan's changes. The air seemed to freeze, suffocating.
It was obvious that Chen Jingyuan had lost his way on the path of cultivation and had fallen into a dangerous state of obsession. If no one stopped him in time, he might suffer serious injuries or even his life.
At this moment, Zhao Haoxuan also noticed something strange about Chen Jingyuan. He hurriedly sat cross-legged behind him, his hands firmly resting on his back, continuously transmitting his own energy to him. Wang Xinyao was shocked. She had never imagined that Chen Jingyuan could be so overwhelmed by a mere fraction of his inner elixir's power. Although Zhao Haoxuan was infusing him with energy, and his condition had improved, he still appeared to be in danger of becoming possessed. Therefore, while everyone's attention was focused on Chen Jingyuan, Wang Xinyao quietly withdrew eighty-one silver needles from her space. Originally, these needles were kept in a bag and carried with her, but yesterday, she had a sudden, whimsical idea: to test the effects of soaking them in spiritual spring water. Then, Wang Xinyao began to practice the "Nine Nines Return to One" acupuncture technique, an extremely strenuous one. As time passed, sweat streamed down Wang Xinyao's cheeks, and her complexion gradually paled, but her movements showed no sign of stagnation.
Finally, after the last silver needle fell, the chaotic aura in Chen Jingyuan's body gradually calmed down, the ferocious look on his face gradually dissipated, and he finally returned to calm.
Wang Xinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her body swayed involuntarily, and she almost fell to the ground. At the same time, Zhao Haoxuan also stopped transferring his power to Chen Jingyuan. He hurried to Wang Xinyao's side, his eyes full of concern, and asked softly, "Miss Wang, are you okay?"
"Miss, are you okay?" Xie Dahahua, Xie Erhua and Xie Xiaohua also gathered around with worried looks on their faces. They stared at Wang Xinyao closely, fearing that she might have an accident.
Wang Xinyao shook her head slightly. Her face was as pale as paper and she said weakly, "I'm fine. I was injured today and I consumed too much energy. Plus, I just advanced and my condition is not very stable yet, so I'm a little weak. Don't worry, just let me rest for a few minutes." After that, she slowly closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breathing rhythm and recover some strength.
