Chapter 37 is all about shipping.

At Black Magpie Mountain, the sky has cleared after the rain today. The fragrance of medicinal herbs permeates the air, and the Spiritual Plant fields look even more vibrant after the rainfall.

A loud "moo" broke the atmosphere created by the post-rain scenery.

Brother Ox has started another day of farming and cultivation. With the thirty bottles of qi overflowing pills given previously, Brother Ox has been swallowing medicine to Cultivate for the past few years, feeling that the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining is almost within reach.

Today, he was going to Feiyan Mountain to loosen the soil and weed the Spiritual Plant fields. The third and fourth children rode on Brother Ox's back to go along and help out.

The Teleportation Array next to the Zizai Pavilion lit up, and one bull and two people vanished from the spot.

Over the past few days, Chen Li took another trip to the Beast Hunting Sect Cultivation Market and bought many Pulse Seeking Arts, Puppetry Arts, and Insect Rearing Arts ranging from the first to third grade. After bringing them back, he let the children start researching them on their own first!

Inside the Immortal Cave, Chen Li was firing up the furnace to perform Alchemy. He was using the fifth-grade Profound Azure Cauldron; although it was overkill, the success rate would be significantly higher.

Inside the Immortal Cave, a fifth-grade Profound Azure Cauldron floated in the air. Chen Li slowly released the earth vein fire beneath the Cauldron. On the two rows of medicine cabinets, over four hundred boxes of qi overflowing grass were displayed.

On another medicine cabinet, various auxiliary spiritual herbs were also laid out. Chen Li began refining qi overflowing pills.

After refining all this qi overflowing grass, there should be at least six hundred bottles of qi overflowing pills. Additionally, a five-hundred-year-old Falling Goose Breakthrough Flower could also release some medicinal power for refining—one and a half stalks could produce about a hundred bottles. He aimed to refine a total of one thousand bottles.

One thousand bottles of qi overflowing pills would be enough for the entire Family's needs in the next stage of cultivation.

The entire Family is popping pills; they could be called the Pill-Popping Immortal Family!

Once the furnace was sufficiently heated, Chen Li began refining the first batch.

In the world of Alchemy, one loses track of time. Three months later, the fifth-grade Profound Azure Cauldron had produced one thousand bottles of qi overflowing pills, and Chen Li paused his refining.

Refining qi overflowing pills with a fifth-grade Profound Azure Cauldron was indeed much more efficient. Although it was overkill, there was no need to make things unnecessarily difficult for himself!

...

A few days later, at Concentric Heart Hall.

Chen Li directly gave one hundred and twenty bottles of qi overflowing pills to Zhu Lingyue, telling her to Breakthrough to the Late Stage Qi Refining. Lingyue was so shocked she was speechless on the spot!

Chen Li had been refining for three months and produced another massive batch of Medicinal Pills. Fine! Although this happened often before, she was still shocked.

A few more days later, at Immortal Learning Tower, Chen Songli received seventy bottles. Chen Songxuan, having Three Spiritual Roots, was given sixty bottles. The goal for both the eldest and second child was to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining. The third and fourth children were each given thirty bottles to first Breakthrough to the Third Level of Qi Refining.

Previously, when they successfully induced Qi, their father had given them five bottles each. Now that he was giving more, these four children were all shocked!

They knew their father had gone to refine pills, but they didn't expect him to refine so many.

Chen Songli's impression of her father was that he was steady, wise, and approachable. But today, seeing her father being so extravagant, she added another impression: her father was mysterious!

Chen Songyan was also shocked. All along, his impression of his father was that he was steady, wise, and serious.

Today, he also added a new impression: his father was wealthy!

Chen Songxuan also gained a new impression of his father, the same as Chen Songli's: his father was mysterious.

The fourth child, Chen Songxiao, felt differently. This was his father's deep love; he must not fail his father's expectations.

After finishing the distribution at Immortal Learning Tower and setting their goals, Chen Li said to them, "Everyone must raise your cultivation. Let us meet together at the peak of the Great Dao of Cultivation. Your father does not wish to be the only one there when the time comes!"

Hearing these words, Chen Songli clenched her fists!

Looking at her father's figure, she said to herself, "Chen Songli, you can do it!"

After it ended, Chen Li gave Brother Ox seventy bottles, with the goal of raising his cultivation to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer. What could Brother Ox say!

He could only wag his tail at Chen Li and then burst into song for him.

...

Ever since Chen Li distributed the qi overflowing pills, the entire Black Magpie Mountain entered a wave of accelerated progress.

Chen Li practiced flexible cultivation; he handled all the matters outside the mountain and the care of the spiritual fields by himself.

At the Zizai Pavilion, Chen Li ate qi overflowing pills like they were regular meals.

His Five Qi Facing Primordial Breakthrough Method could now be used to open a Qi Sea. Although he might not need this technique for Foundation Establishment, he was still interested in opening a Qi Sea to store Qi of Returning to the Origin.

Once the Qi of Returning to the Origin was stored in the Qi Sea, if his Dantian's Spiritual Qi was exhausted and there were no Medicinal Pills to replenish it, he could draw the Qi of Returning to the Origin from the Qi Sea to supplement himself.

Chen Li spent three days opening a Qi Sea. After condensing a wisp of Qi of Returning to the Origin, it indeed consumed a lot of spiritual power. Fortunately, he had qi overflowing pills for replenishment.

Not far away, Brother Ox, who was just one step away from the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, finally reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining after these few days of cultivation.

Brother Ox did not continue cultivating; he first stabilized his cultivation. After all, he was a bull.

Looking at the golden stalks in the spirit rice fields, Brother Ox's hands felt itchy. It was better for an old bull like him to do the harvesting; he was a ten-year veteran!

...

In the Boundless Forest, seven hundred kilometers in, Luo Sheng and the An Family Head were using wood-attribute Magical Artifacts to attack a Formation eye in the northwest. After a period of bombardment, the great Formation finally collapsed.

"Brother Chen is indeed a professional!" Luo Sheng said to the An Family Head.

"Mm. Fellow Daoist Chen's skill in the path of Formations was already beyond doubt after that battle with Zhang An."

The two began to enter the ruins. The ruins were inside a mountain cave. After confirming there was no toxic gas, they entered.

Inside the cave, both were tense, each holding a Magical Artifact, ready for any sudden occurrences. After walking for a while and finding nothing happening, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking a bit further, they picked up several Magical Artifacts one after another, making them very excited.

"Brother An, look at that!" Following Luo Sheng's gaze, the An Family Head saw a skeleton sitting in a cross-legged position!

The two exchanged a look and slowly walked over. They saw that the clothes on the skeleton were blue-grey, and a hat was still perched on the skull.

Upon reaching it, Luo Sheng noticed a detail.

He spotted two Jade-green rings on the middle fingers of the clasped hands. Luo Sheng was somewhat pleased; they were likely high-grade Magical Artifacts!

Just as he was continuing to examine the two Jade Rings, the An Family Head beside him seemed to have discovered something.

"Brother Luo, look, is there a book tucked there where the blue robe is seated?"

Luo Sheng looked and indeed saw a book partially hidden. Just as he pulled the book out, two thin wisps of black Qi emerged from the Jade Rings. Seizing the moment when the two weren't paying attention, the Qi directly invaded their noses.

At the moment of invasion, Luo Sheng felt nothing, and the An Family Head beside him didn't feel any discomfort either. By then, Luo Sheng had already taken the book out.

He brushed the dust off the cover, which read 'Spirit Entrusting Soul Transfer Great Method'.

The two suddenly looked at each other. It was fine until they did; once they locked eyes, they both noticed something strange about the other!

They cried out in alarm, "Brother An / Brother Luo, why has your left eye turned black!"

As soon as those words were spoken, they realized they had unwittingly fallen prey to something!

A chill instantly rose from their feet to their foreheads—they were doomed!

Before long, they suddenly felt the world spinning. Luo Sheng and the An Family Head desperately tried to control themselves, but after a moment, both fainted.

Three minutes later, the two woke up simultaneously. They looked at each other and revealed smiles that did not belong to them...
