86: Chapter 86 Intimacy

"Thank you, Ninth Uncle."

Chen Jiancang fully entrusted his marriage matters to Chen Youming. Although Cultivators' marriages are not as boisterous as Mortals' with gongs and drums, the necessary rituals are not fewer.

Rituals like Spirit Contract Concord, Questioning the Heart to Break Delusions, and Heaven and Earth as Witness all align with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. These rituals even have specific procedures and items that must be prepared in advance.

Chen Jiancang took out 1000 spiritual stones and entrusted Chen Youming to handle the arrangements.

At this moment, Chen Jiancang, expressing his deepest gratitude, saw off Chen Youming and walked towards Plot 30 Spiritual Field with Chen Jianyun.

For this Dan Hall spiritual medicine collection mission, Chen Jiancang was out for about five or six days. During this time, the cultivation of spiritual plants in the spiritual field was put on hold. If he had returned a few days later, the growth of the planted spiritual plants would have been affected.

"Jiancang Ge, while you were away, I went to the spiritual field to check on it every day. According to your requirements, I only removed the newly grown weeds and didn't do anything else," Chen Jianyun said, linking her arm through Chen Jiancang's, as if seeking praise.

Chen Jiancang looked at Chen Jianyun with gentle eyes and softly said, "You've worked hard, Chen Jianyun. With you helping me look after the spiritual field, I can feel much more at ease while carrying out missions outside."

The two arrived at Plot 30 Spiritual Field. The spiritual plants in the spiritual field swayed gently in the breeze, not a single weed was visible, and their growth was very promising. It was clear that Chen Jianyun had taken great care of them every day.

This couldn't help but move Chen Jiancang.

Chen Jiancang pulled Chen Jianyun into his arms and lightly kissed her delicate cheek to show his gratitude.

Chen Jianyun's cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She hadn't expected Chen Jiancang to be so bold, acting so impetuously in broad daylight.

Chen Jianyun's shy appearance made Chen Jiancang's blood surge instantly. Having lived two lives without ever having contact with women, how could he have ever seen such allure? It was utterly captivating.

And Chen Jianyun herself was already stunningly beautiful, captivating enough to make fish sink and geese fall, and flowers blush in shame, like an immortal yet not entirely. If this were his previous life, such a beautiful woman would be someone he wouldn't even dare to think about, only able to observe her subtly in the ethereal network.

But now, such an exquisite fairy was nestled in his arms. Waves of her body fragrance went straight to his heart, and every breath made his heart race, unable to control himself for a moment.

Chen Jiancang's breathing became more hurried, and his hands unconsciously tightened their grip around Chen Jianyun's body.

Chen Jianyun's delicate body trembled slightly, then she slowly closed her eyes, her hands moving from pushing him away to resting weakly on Chen Jiancang's shoulders. Their lips met, their clothes brushed against each other, and the atmosphere became exceptionally enchanting.

The spiritual plants rustled as if whispering, warm breaths intertwined, and their heartbeats were as fervent as drums.

"Jiancang Ge, don't do this." Chen Jianyun finally restrained the primal desire in her heart. Her cheeks were crimson, her body weak and powerless, and she gently nestled in Chen Jiancang's arms, which made Chen Jiancang even more excited.

"Cough~"

In the end, Chen Jiancang awkwardly squatted down, pretending to carefully examine the growth of the spiritual plants to hide the turmoil in his heart.

He occasionally reached out to gently touch the spiritual plant leaves, checking their condition. After a long while, he finally calmed his emotions, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"It's fine, it's fine."

The spiritual plants hadn't undergone significant changes despite not being personally cared for in a few days.

"It's just that..."

Chen Jiancang caught several newly hatched Soul-Devouring Beetles from the spiritual field.

"Sigh, these Soul-Devouring Beetles are indeed troublesome. I wonder if the Spirit Plant Hall has found a solution yet?"

Chen Jianyun walked to Chen Jiancang's side, leaned her head to look at the captured Soul-Devouring Beetles, and wrinkled her delicate nose. "These annoying things come to destroy the spiritual plants every time. Jiancang Ge, why don't we manually clean them all up first, so they don't harm the spiritual field anymore."

Chen Jiancang nodded, carefully scanning the spiritual field back and forth with his spiritual sense, and cautiously put the Soul-Devouring Beetles one by one into a specially made jade bottle, preparing to take them to the Spirit Plant Hall later. Perhaps the researchers could find a solution from these newly hatched Soul-Devouring Beetles.

After dealing with the Soul-Devouring Beetles, Chen Jiancang began to carefully inspect the growth of the spiritual plants. He gently stroked the leaves of the seven night flower, feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations contained within the leaves.

[Maturity 69%]

As an auxiliary ingredient for Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill, the seven night flower has a growth cycle of nearly a year. To wait for it to mature, it will take at least several more months.

"It's also time to contribute the Qinghe Bigu Pill recipe to the Chen Family," Chen Jiancang mused in his heart.

Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill is easier to refine than ordinary Qi Gathering Pills, and it contains a bit more spiritual energy than ordinary Qi Gathering Pills.

Now that Chen Jiancang has broken through to the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level and has even become an Alchemist, even if he contributes the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill to the Chen Family at this time, it won't arouse suspicion or deep scrutiny from others.

Moreover, Chen Jiancang now also has enough strength to protect himself.

If he can make Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill available, he will have enough energy to refine large quantities of Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill. This way, including Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill as part of the betrothal gifts for the Meng Family will surely be grand enough.

Chen Jiancang silently noted down the thoughts in his heart, and then fully devoted himself to caring for the spiritual field.

He carefully cast the Spirit Rain Technique on the spiritual plants, nourishing each spiritual medicine with spiritual energy to ensure they could grow robustly.

After being busy for a while, the matters concerning the spiritual field were finally almost dealt with.

Chen Jiancang straightened his back and looked at the spiritual plants that were growing well, his heart filled with satisfaction. He turned to look at Chen Jianyun, only to see fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks flushed, looking exceptionally adorable.

Chen Jiancang couldn't help but feel his heart stir again, but remembering the awkwardness just now, he still forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

"Chen Jianyun, thanks to your help in looking after the spiritual field this time, I don't even know how to thank you," Chen Jiancang said sincerely.

Chen Jianyun's cheeks were slightly red, and she gently shook her head, saying, "Jiancang Ge, why are you being polite with me? This is what I should do. As long as I can help you, I'll be very happy."

The two then came to Plot 147 Spiritual Field.

The Lueling Grass in Plot 147 Spiritual Field had only been planted recently, and all the weeds had been removed by Chen Jianyun. Chen Jiancang checked it, found no problems, cast a Spirit Rain Technique, and didn't bother with it further.

"Sigh, although I used the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet, the problem of depleted earth power still cannot be solved. It seems the arrangement of the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array must also be put on the agenda."

Chen Jiancang mused in his heart. Fortunately, all the Materials for arranging the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array were ready, and it could be scheduled as soon as a Chen Family Formation master was invited.

Chen Jiancang and Chen Jianyun came out of Plot 147 Spiritual Field, and the sky was already gradually darkening. A gentle breeze blew, and the fragrance of the surrounding spiritual plants permeated the air, as if also speaking of the day's busyness and fulfillment.

"Jiancang Ge, we've been busy for so long, it's time for us to go back and rest," Chen Jianyun said softly, her voice carrying a hint of tiredness.

Chen Jiancang nodded, "Mm, thanks to you for accompanying me to handle the spiritual field matters today. Let's go back first, I'll make you something good to eat."
