53: Lin Xin Breakthrough

Near noon, Zhou Luo just crawled out of bed. As for Bai Zhiyan, she probably wouldn't be up until the evening.

After washing up a bit, he, looking radiant, walked towards the dining hall under the scorching sun.

Inside the dining hall, his wives and concubines were eating there with their children.

"Husband, Sister Zhiyan was so scared yesterday, and you still tormented her like that."

As soon as he sat down, Lin Yiyi said with difficulty suppressing a smile.

"I was comforting her," Zhou Luo replied seriously.

"Then when will you come and comfort me?" Lin Yiyi said with a smile in her eyes.

As soon as she said this, Lin Feiying, who was next to her, kicked her foot: "The children are still here."

The little ones opened their big eyes, their small faces curious, not knowing what it meant.

Zhou Luo, on the other hand, glanced at her big belly, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You should focus on your pregnancy."

In another month or two, these three sisters will almost all give birth.

He wondered how many more descendants with Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) would be born.

After lunch, Zhou Luo went to Shouchun Garden.

After his sudden departure yesterday, he still had to tell his Master what had happened.

Even if the other party might already know.

Arriving at Shouchun Garden, as soon as Zhou Luo entered the Pill Refining Room, he saw Third Miss Lin Xin seriously and meticulously refining Pills.

He walked up to Lin Zhishou, cupped his hands, and bowed.

"I already know about yesterday's matter. It's good that nothing big happened," Lin Zhishou said calmly.

After speaking, perhaps fearing Zhou Luo would overthink, he didn't forget to add, "That person is from the Joyful Union Sect and should have sneaked in."

Hearing the three words "Joyful Union Sect", Zhou Luo was slightly startled.

As a well-known Evil Sect from hundreds of years ago, this Sect once controlled one-third of the territory of the Fire Cloud Country and was a well-deserved major Sect.

Its Dual Cultivation Technique of harvesting Yin to supplement Yang and harvesting Yang to supplement Yin allowed many Golden Core Cultivators and even Nascent Soul experts to be born within it.

However, later, under the joint suppression by the Fire Cloud Country's royal Family and the major Immortal Sects, the Joyful Union Sect disappeared into history.

But a centipede is still alive even after death. Although the Joyful Union Sect is no longer what it was, its Disciples still wander outside, and it is even said that they have re-established their old sign on a certain mountain.

Zhou Luo didn't expect that Bai Zhiyan would be involved with an Evil Sect like the Joyful Union Sect.

It seems this matter is not over yet.

He secretly decided that after returning today, he would sprinkle his specially made poison in Zhou Garden to prevent yesterday's incident from happening again.

Anyway, he is now a Second-Order Poison Master. As long as the arrangements are proper, even the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor probably wouldn't be able to enter Zhou Garden.

"Master, I succeeded!"

Just then, Lin Xin's surprised voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a rich Pill fragrance drifted in the air.

Lin Zhishou's body trembled. He suddenly stood up and quickly walked to the Pill Furnace, his gaze falling on the smooth and lustrous Life Pill inside the furnace.

He picked it up and observed it carefully.

Lin Xin, who was beside him, returned to her aloof expression after a brief moment of joy.

"Not bad, not bad. Your progress is indeed rapid," Lin Zhishou couldn't help but praise.

Lin Xin slightly raised her chin and looked at Zhou Luo next to her with an indifferent expression.

She was originally only a step away from being a First-Order Pill Middle Grade Alchemist, and in the past few days, she had been stimulated by Zhou Luo, which is why she unleashed her potential and broke through.

Now that she had caught up to Zhou Luo, it allowed her, who was already proud, to taste the flavor of victory.

Zhou Luo smiled politely and said, "Third Miss is indeed uniquely gifted."

Lin Zhishou also nodded and said, "It seems that at this year's Spirit Pill Gathering, someone from my Lin Family will stand out again."

The Spirit Pill Gathering is held once a year.

But the study at the Azure Origin Sect is every two years.

Currently, the Time for the next Spirit Pill Gathering to begin is approaching.

After this time, the ten outstanding individuals selected from the two gatherings will go to the Green Mountain Sect to study.

Lin Zhishou's words reminded Zhou Luo; he remembered what he had promised Wang Yuwei back then.

It seems he needs to hurry up and refine the Azure Water Pill.

He withdrew his thoughts.

Lin Zhishou happily began to teach the two the opportunities of a First-Order Pill Middle Grade Alchemist.

In his eyes, both Zhou Luo and Lin Xin were the beginning of the Family's Pill Refining path revitalization.

Time flowed by, and a day of teaching ended.

Lin Xin and Zhou Luo walked out of Shouchun Garden one after the other.

At this moment, Lin Xin suddenly turned around. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her fair and proud face, adding a touch of sacredness.

She narrowed her eyes and said in a preachy tone, "If you only know how to marry wives and have children, you are destined to blend in with the crowd and become my stepping stone."

Her words were very direct, fully displaying her arrogance.

Zhou Luo smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "Senior Sister, I hope you can perform well at this Spirit Pill Gathering."

Lin Xin's small face slightly darkened.

Just the two words "Senior Sister" made her a bit displeased.

Coupled with the seemingly caring words that followed, it was completely the tone of an elder teaching a Junior.

Her face was like frost.

If it had been two years ago, she would have definitely flared up on the spot and severely punished the other party.

But now, things were different from the past. The other party was no longer the live-in son-in-law she could easily control.

In the end, she said nothing, turned around, and left.

After she left, Zhou Luo sneered, "Stepping stone? How ridiculous."

...

Returning to Zhou Garden, Zhou Luo plunged straight into the Pill Refining Room.

Earlier in Panshi City, he had already purchased the medicinal Materials for refining the Azure Water Pill.

It had cost him a large sum of Spirit Stones at that time.

If the Immortal Sect information Wang Yuwei gave him at that time wasn't worth it, he definitely wouldn't be able to hand over the Azure Water Pill.

Taking out the medicinal Materials, he began to refine the Azure Water Pill.

It wasn't until past nine in the evening that he stretched his muscles and bones and walked out of the room.

During this time, Lin Feiying also came to deliver a meal.

Naturally, she didn't recognize that this was the Azure Water Pill. She just thought Zhou Luo was cultivating and studying, so she left after putting down the food.

Arriving on the second floor, Zhou Luo stood in the corridor, looked at the room lit by candlelight, and finally walked towards Bai Zhiyan's place.

It was another night of hard work.

In the following days, perhaps to prevent the last incident from happening again.

The Family equipped Zhou Garden with two guards at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. Although their strength was average, they were still much stronger than Zhou Luo, who was only at Qi Cultivation Stage 2.

Zhou Luo didn't refuse either.

Because the Spirit Pill Gathering was about to start, Lin Zhishou took Lin Xin to the venue, the Wang Family in the East City.

Originally, Zhou Luo also wanted to go and observe.

But because he had already obtained the qualification, and the Family didn't want him to leave, he was refused.

This was also good.

While Lin Zhishou was away, Zhou Luo could concentrate on refining the Azure Water Pill.

Besides the Azure Water Pill, the Second Order poison he had planned to refine earlier was also being prepared.

Fortunately, the Lin Family didn't have a poison Master.

So even though he bought a lot of strange and bizarre Materials, the Family didn't have too many suspicions.

It was just that the Materials needed for this Second Order Low Grade poison were still somewhat difficult to find.

Zhou Luo spent several days until he finally gathered all the Materials and successfully refined a poison called Wind Severing Powder.

Once this poison was inhaled, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would temporarily lose all their Spiritual Power, and if it was a Qi Training cultivator, they would likely be permanently crippled.

After giving the antidote to everyone in Zhou Garden, he sprinkled the Wind Severing Powder in every corner of Zhou Garden.

This way, if someone were to sneak in, they would definitely inhale this colorless and odorless poison.

As for someone sneaking in openly like Zhao Yuan last time, that would be the matter for the two guards sent by the Family.
