The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Your Majesty, your health is becoming increasingly strange. Should I help you adjust it?" Chen Xuan asked worriedly.

"Well, you can give it a try. If it can solve the problem, then that would be even better!" She Jingxi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to Chen Xuan's suggestion.

Chen Xuan carefully observed She Jingxi's body and found that something was indeed wrong with her. So, he tried to use his spiritual power to adjust her body.

During this process, She Jingxi felt a warm current flowing through her body, which gradually restored her body to normal.

"How are you feeling, Your Majesty?"

"I feel much better, thank you!" She Jingxi looked at Chen Xuan gratefully.

Then Chen Xuan smiled slightly and put away the silver needles.

However, not long after they finished packing, Chen Xuan returned to the Imperial Hospital. Before he could even settle in, the Empress Dowager summoned him again.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to rush over again.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I... I feel like my cultivation level has increased a tiny bit. What... what did you do to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"How have you managed to survive until now? Isn't this the cultivation method you've been longing for for rapid advancement?"

"This, this isn't right. Wasn't that supposed to be my treatment? Why would it...?!" She Jingxi was dumbfounded.

"Idiot!" Chen Xuan poked her forehead with his finger.

"I do have medical skills, but they are rather limited. How could I possibly cure you in one go? The most crucial thing is my unique physique, which is the key to rapid recovery and breakthroughs!"

"You mean... Xirou too?!" She realized what was happening.

"Xirou, cough cough, she is naturally... you know, right?"

"I see! No wonder she said she wasn't right for me and wouldn't tell me! But I really didn't expect you could actually... never mind!"

She Jingxi felt a little uncomfortable, a sour feeling in her heart, but when she thought it was Shen Xirou, she didn't have much to say. At worst, the two of them could cultivate together.

"You called me over just because of this?"

"No, wait!"

"???"

"You possess a method for enabling rapid breakthroughs, which Zhao Tianming told me. And as far as he knows, you guided his fiancée, which means...!!!"

"Hehe, I'm just helping him to the end, so there's no need for him to thank me!"

"Chen Xuan!!! I never thought you were this kind of person, I'm going to bite you to death!!" After saying that, She Jingxi pounced on him.

Chen Xuan, naturally, didn't hesitate when faced with this easy prey. With a flick of his wrist, he subdued She Jingxi, and the rest was left unsaid...

……

……

Five days passed in a flash, and Chen Xuan hadn't been able to step out of the palace even once. It wasn't until he received a message from Liu Yuning, informing him to prepare for the upcoming sect competition, that he stopped cultivating.

"I have some things to take care of and need to go out. You should get some rest too!"

"No, no, are you trying to run away?" She Jingxi insisted.

"Why would I run away? Who could be as well-off as me?" Chen Xuan said, pinching She Jingxi's cheek.

Upon hearing this, She Jingxi blushed shyly.

"Hmph, who knows if what you're saying is true! I'm going with you!"

"No, you should rest here. I'll be right back!" Chen Xuan immediately stopped him.

She Jingxi's status is still too high, and coupled with her strong possessiveness, she has a lot of headaches ahead of her now that she has met Liu Yuning.

"Really, Your Majesty, I promise, I will come back to continue my cultivation after I finish my business."

"Alright then, you'd better remember this, or else I, I will not let you off easily!"

"Okay, I get it."

"Boom."

After comforting She Jingxi, Chen Xuan left the Empress Dowager's palace.

After leaving the inner palace, they rushed to the stronghold of the Xuan Yang Sect.

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Chen is here too!"

"Senior Brother Chen, what have you been up to all this time? I haven't seen you in the sect."

Upon seeing Chen Xuan, the disciples from the participating sects came up one by one to greet him. However, most of them were unaware of what had happened to Chen Xuan before, except for one woman, though she was not present at the moment.

"I went out to train for a while, and then I received a message from the sect leader, so I rushed over. Where is the sect leader?"

"The sect leader is in her meditation room. I'll go and inform her!"

"No need, I can go by myself."

After saying that, Chen Xuan went directly to Liu Yuning's room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Chen Xuan pushed open the door and entered, finding Liu Yuning meditating.

"Sect Master, I've arrived," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Liu Yuning opened her eyes, saw Chen Xuan, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Chen Xuan, you got here so quickly!"

"Yes, I was already in the capital, so I came straight here." Chen Xuan smiled and sat down next to Liu Yuning.

The latter gave Chen Xuan a slight reproachful look, and then acquiesced to his behavior.

"You're in the capital? What are you doing?"

"He didn't do much, just managed to get a minor official position in the harem!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuning frowned slightly.

"The imperial harem? You got an official position?? You wouldn't..." She was momentarily flustered.

"Ahem, it's not what you think! I'm an imperial physician!" Chen Xuan said, embarrassed, and quickly explained.

"What are you going there for? It's a time of political transition, and things aren't peaceful there!"

"It's alright, it's alright, I have more important things to do over there!" Chen Xuan chuckled and put his arm around his senior apprentice.

"Hey! What do you want to do?!" Liu Yuning was startled, her heart pounding.

"It's been so long since I've seen you, Uncle-Master. I've missed you."

"Now that we've seen them, listen to me, hurry up and get out, there are still people outside!"

"No, Yu Ning, don't you miss me?"

"No! I absolutely never thought of you!!" Liu Yuning seemed to have been stepped on, her face flushed as she pushed Chen Xuan away.

"The sect competition is just around the corner. How are your preparations going? Don't tell me you came unprepared!"

"Don't worry, Yu Ning, I'm all ready." Chen Xuan shamelessly pressed himself against her again.

"What have you prepared? Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately unleashed his aura.

"Golden Core, seventh level! My god, what have you been doing? Your cultivation has broken through so quickly?!"

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that I've been persistently cultivating!" Chen Xuan said.

He didn't indulge in pleasure during those five days. Instead, he worked with She Jingxi to digest and absorb the enormous Yin energy he had obtained from her, which allowed him to make rapid progress.

"You, you didn't go and cause trouble for the emperor's concubines, did you?"

Liu Yuning was aware of Chen Xuan's special physique.

"What are you saying?! What kind of talk is that! Not every woman is pleasing to me! Which of the emperor's women is as beautiful as you, Senior Uncle?!"

"Really not? The new emperor's empress, who wears a white hat, is quite beautiful!" Liu Yuning asked again with a straight face.

"Of course not. How could I possibly have any contact with someone like Empress Zhu Zhu? Yu Ning, you're overthinking it!"

"That's good. With you giving me this inside scoop, I believe you'll definitely achieve great results. In this sect competition, you must go all out and bring glory to our Xuan Yang Sect."

"Don't worry, I will. But why are all the people from the sect this time... not very capable?"

"It's all because of Zheng'er. The entire sect's focus is on him right now, so naturally we want to keep a low profile and wait for him to grow up!"

"Then why did you call me here? Doesn't that ruin the sect's grand plan?"

"Hmph, I am the sect leader! Even if they don't intend to compete, I still have to consider the reputation of my Xuan Yang Sect. I can't go back as the bottom one!"

Liu Yuning stood up from her chair and walked to Chen Xuan.

"Alright, alright, I'll go! But, Yu Ning, can't you give me a little motivation?"
