Chapter 304 New Rewards

After a long while, she finally raised her head and looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with seriousness.

"Brother Shen Wen, I won't bring shame to you."

She said, "I will refine pills well, Cultivate well, and... be your woman properly."

Shen Wen looked at her, then suddenly lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Okay."

He said softly.

Dan Chen's cheeks flushed again, but her lips curled into a satisfied smile.

The night was deep and quiet.

The red candles burned out, the flames extinguished, leaving only a quiet darkness in the bridal chamber.

The gauze curtains fell gently, concealing the springtime scenery within the room.

The next morning.

Sunlight spilled into the room through the gauze curtains. Shen Wen opened his eyes and looked down at Dan Chen, who was still fast asleep in his arms.

The girl was sleeping soundly, her small face pressed against his chest, her breathing steady, and a trace of a smile still lingering at the corners of her mouth.

Just then, a familiar mechanical voice rang out in his mind:

【Ding! Detected that the Master has successfully taken Dan Chen as a concubine (Rating: 95). Meets the System's reward criteria!】

【Congratulations, Master, on winning the beauty's heart. Rewards: Supreme Alchemy Art, Present Tathagata Sutra】

【Detected that the concubinage is finalized. Issuing betrothal gifts: Supreme Pill Body, Great Yin-Yang Art】

【If the favorability between the two increases, rewards will continue to be granted for every 10% increase.】

【Ding! Detected an increase in Mistress Dan Chen's favorability toward the Master. Current favorability: 20%!】

【Reward: primordial dragon bone】

【Ding! Detected an increase in Mistress Dan Chen's favorability toward the Master. Current favorability: 30%!】

【Reward: bodhi heart】

【Ding! Detected an increase in Mistress Dan Chen's favorability toward the Master. Current favorability: 43%!】

【Reward: Shaluo Flower】

【Do you wish to receive the rewards?】

With a thought, Shen Wen replied: Receive all.

In the next moment, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind and was quickly digested by him.

The Supreme Alchemy Art contained countless types of special Medicinal Pills for cultivation, healing, and even controlling people.

Furthermore, it included various pill-refining techniques.

Its vastness was no less than the Detailed Explanation of Shangqing Formations and the Detailed Explanation of Yuqing Artifact Refining he had obtained previously.

Moreover, the Alchemy art was a perfect match for him.

The Present Tathagata Sutra.

When Shen Wen saw this Cultivation Technique, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The Past Amitabha Sutra, the Future Non-Existence Sutra, and the Present Tathagata Sutra—these three Cultivation Techniques came from the same world. The Past Amitabha Sutra Cultivates the Divine Soul, the Future Non-Existence Sutra governs deduction, and the Present Tathagata Sutra Cultivates the Physical Body.

Shen Wen nodded slightly; this was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

His Physical Body was strong enough to support the cultivation of this technique, deepening his foundation further. He no longer needed to worry about Hun Tiandi for now.

As long as he had time to develop, a Dou Saint might not necessarily be unable to defeat a Dou Di.

Then he looked at the primordial dragon bone.

This was the bone of an ancient true dragon. If it could be completely refined and fused with his own bones, the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art would reach Major Achievement.

At that time, not only could he transform into a true dragon's body, but his physical strength would also reach a whole new level.

The bodhi heart was not the kind found on the Fighting Qi Continent that allowed a Dou Zun to Breakthrough to Dou Saint, but rather a special talent similar to the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart enhanced thinking and perception, while the bodhi heart enhanced Comprehension Ability. With the two combined, his future comprehension of any Cultivation Technique or Dou Technique would be countless times faster than ordinary people.

As for the Shaluo Flower...

This was a special life form that resembled a flower but possessed extremely strong devouring capabilities. It could grow by devouring flesh and blood, and upon reaching a certain level, it could even transform into a human form and possess intelligence.

Shen Wen pondered that this thing could be cultivated and might come in handy in the future.

As he was thinking, Dan Chen moved in his arms.

She opened her eyes drowzily and looked up at Shen Wen. She froze for a moment, and then her cheeks instantly turned beet red.

"Brother Shen Wen..." she called out softly, her voice soft and sweet.

Shen Wen looked down at her and smiled. "Awake?"

Dan Chen nodded, and then a hint of apology flashed in her eyes. She leaned closer into his arms and whispered, "Brother Shen Wen, was I too useless last night? I don't even know how I passed out..."

As she spoke, her cheeks grew even redder, and her voice became lower and lower.

Shen Wen chuckled and reached out to pinch her small face. "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"

Dan Chen pouted. "But Sister Ying said that a wife should serve her husband well. I couldn't even do that properly..."

Shen Wen rubbed her head. "Ying'er was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously? You've just entered the family; there will be plenty of time in the future."

Hearing him say this, the bit of annoyance on Dan Chen's face dissipated, replaced by a smile. But she quickly remembered something, her expression changed, and she hurriedly tried to get up.

"Oh no, I have to go pay my respects to Sister Ying and Sister Cai Lin! Waking up so late on the first day, I'll definitely be laughed at!"

Shen Wen reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her back. "What's the rush? It's still early."

Dan Chen struggled. "No, no, I'm a new bride; I must wake up early on the first day..."

Seeing her anxious look, Shen Wen stopped teasing her and took out two items from his storage ring.

A sphere of warm, pale golden light and a Jade Slip containing a Cultivation Technique.

Dan Chen was startled. "What is this?"

Shen Wen said, "The Supreme Pill Body Origin and the Great Yin-Yang Art. Both are suitable for you. Refine this first, then study the technique properly."

Dan Chen froze, looking at the sphere of light and then at Shen Wen, her eyes turning slightly red.

Shen Wen reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes. "Silly girl, why are you crying? You are my woman; isn't it only right to give you things?"

Dan Chen shook her head vigorously, but her eyes still turned red uncontrollably. Ignoring her exposed state, she sat up directly from Shen Wen's arms and said seriously, "I'll refine it right now!"

Shen Wen found her eager look a bit amusing. "What's the rush? No one's going to snatch it from you."

Dan Chen shook her head. "I want to get stronger sooner so I can be of help to Brother Shen Wen."

With that, she took the Supreme Pill Body Origin, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to refine it.

Pale golden light flowed from her palms into her body, circulating through her Meridians. A layer of hazy light gradually appeared around Dan Chen, enveloping her in a warm aura.

Shen Wen watched quietly from the side, not disturbing her.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the light completely merged into Dan Chen's body.

She opened her eyes, a strange brilliance flashing within them.

"Brother Shen Wen, I feel... like a whole different person." She looked down at her hands and sensed her surroundings. "I can clearly perceive the medicinal power in the air and the fluctuations of the Spiritual Plants in the courtyard..."

Shen Wen nodded. "That is the Supreme Pill Body. A Physique naturally suited for Alchemy; in the future, refining pills will be much easier for you than it is now."

He handed her the Jade Slip again. "The Great Yin-Yang Art is a very profound Cultivation Technique. After a few days, when you've adapted to your new Physique, you can slowly comprehend it."

Dan Chen took the Jade Slip and nodded vigorously. She looked at Shen Wen, then suddenly lunged into his arms, her arms tightly encircling his waist.

"Brother Shen Wen, you're too good to me..."

Shen Wen smiled and rubbed her head.

After a while, Dan Chen finally released him, wiped her eyes, and a smile blossomed on her face. She got up and began to put on her clothes, saying as she dressed, "Then I'll go pay my respects to the sisters now?"

Shen Wen nodded. "Go ahead."

Dan Chen dressed neatly, glanced back at him with a smile, and stepped out the door with light footsteps.

Shen Wen leaned against the headboard, watching her departing figure, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
