217: Return to the sect and nurture the immortal embryo!

This void immortal token came at just the right time.

"Many thanks, Holy Mother, for gifting this treasure. It will be of great use to me." Lu Yuan put away the token and cupped his hands in thanks.

The Yaochi Holy Mother smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too polite. Compared to your great kindness in saving Lianyi, a mere token is nothing. I only hope Fellow Daoist will bring good news soon."

...Half an hour later.

Lu Yuan, carrying the nine marvels undying medicine transplanted into the myriad things mother qi cauldron and the unconscious Jade Pool Saintess Luo Lianyi lying on a cold jade bed, embarked on the journey back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.

This trip to the Jade Pool could truly be said to have been immensely profitable.

Qingyun Dao Sect, behind Azure Cloud Peak.

This was the Forbidden Ground of the entire Sect, where the Spiritual Qi was so dense it seemed to congeal, surrounded by layer upon layer of Restrictions personally set up by Lu Yuan.

An ancient tree, its entire body like carved jasper, exuding a rich dao charm, stood quietly. That was the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Beside the tea tree, there was a square of five-colored soil emitting a halo of profound yellow light. It was precisely the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Lu Yuan took out the myriad things mother qi cauldron, carefully removed the nine marvels undying medicine transplanted within, and planted it into the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

"Hum!"

As soon as it entered the soil, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil erupted with a gentle yet vast earth essence energy, instantly enveloping the divine medicine's root system.

Although the nine marvels undying medicine preferred shade and Death Qi, faced with this primordial soil from the beginning of creation, it showed not the slightest rejection. Instead, it greedily absorbed the nutrients within.

Its originally somewhat wilted leaves and branches instantly unfurled. On the surfaces of the nine fruits of different colors, Dao patterns swirled, and the light they emitted grew increasingly brilliant.

"It's indeed effective."

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. At this rate, coupled with the catalysis of the Law of Time, maturing in half a month was no empty promise.

After settling the divine medicine, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the unconscious Jade Pool Saintess Luo Lianyi, floating nearby.

She still lay in a deep slumber, her body enveloped in a faint glow of divine medicine. Under the nourishment of the nine marvels undying medicine's aura, her originally pale face seemed to have gained a trace of color.

Lu Yuan focused his mind and activated the Chaos Great Dao within him.

"Rise."

With a wave of his hand, the Law of the Earth Dao surged. The originally level ground rumbled and roared.

Countless boulders and spirit-wood materialized out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, a refined and elegant stone house rose from the ground beside the nine marvels undying medicine.

The stone house was entirely constructed from spirit jade and Divine Stones, with a Spirit Gathering Formation carved inside. It could truly be called a cave paradise for cultivation.

Lu Yuan gently placed Luo Lianyi onto the cold jade bed inside the stone house and channeled a wisp of aura from the nine marvels undying medicine, continuously infusing it into the house to ensure her Primordial Spirit was nourished at all times.

At that moment, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

"Husband, you've returned."

Gu Qingxue, dressed in spotless white robes, appeared gracefully beside Lu Yuan.

Her peerlessly beautiful face held a gentle smile. Her gaze lingered on Lu Yuan for a moment, confirming he was unharmed, before turning curiously to Luo Lianyi inside the stone house.

"Who is this sister?" Gu Qingxue asked softly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Lu Yuan nodded and explained: "This woman is the Jade Pool Saintess. During this trip to the Jade Pool, I happened upon her unconscious due to Primordial Spirit damage.

I was entrusted by the Yaochi Holy Mother to bring her back. She will be nurtured here, using the environment of the nine marvels undying medicine and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to warm her Primordial Spirit. Once she awakens, she will be sent back to the Jade Pool."

He specifically explained, as bringing back a great beauty, especially an unconscious one, could easily be misunderstood.

To his surprise, upon hearing this, Gu Qingxue showed not a hint of jealousy. Instead, she covered her mouth with a light laugh, her beautiful eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint: "Husband, why explain so clearly? This Jade Pool Saintess is a famous beauty of the Central Region and the successor to the next Yaochi Holy Mother.

If husband could win her over, wouldn't that make our Qingyun Dao Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land even closer?"

Lu Yuan looked at her helplessly: "You're quite generous. Aren't you afraid of trouble in the household?"

"Husband is a dragon among men. Having a few more confidantes by your side is only natural. Moreover..."

Gu Qingxue walked up to Lu Yuan, reached out with her slender jade-like hands to straighten his lapel, and said softly, "As long as husband holds Qingxue in your heart, Qingxue is content.

Besides, if this Saintess truly becomes one of our own sisters, then if anyone ever wishes to harm husband, the Yaochi Holy Land would be our most solid ally."

Warmth filled Lu Yuan's heart. He gently took her hand: "With a wife like you, what more could I ask for?"

"Alright, enough of that."

Lu Yuan flipped his palm, and over a dozen jade boxes materialized in the air, floating before Gu Qingxue.

The boxes opened, and a rich fruity fragrance instantly filled the air. It was precisely the nine marvels undying fruit.

"Take these fruits and share them with Xue Yao and the others.

Each fruit has a different effect, greatly beneficial for your cultivation."

Looking at the radiant Divine Fruits, a flicker of pleasant surprise flashed in Gu Qingxue's eyes. Without pretense, she waved her hand and stored them away: "Thank you, husband."

After finishing all this, Lu Yuan did not rest.

He went to the main hall of Azure Cloud Peak and sent a voice transmission summoning someone.

A moment later, a figure entered the hall.

It was Qin Mengyao.

She wore a loose, comfortable moon-white brocade robe. The fabric was soft and draped beautifully. Although it concealed some of her figure, it couldn't hide the innate nobility and elegance emanating from her very bones.

Her hair was gathered in a low bun, adorned only with a single warm, moist white jade hairpin. The originally aloof and proud aura of the Divine King Body was now overlaid with a gentle, maternal radiance.

She instinctively placed her hand lightly on her still-flat abdomen, her movements tender and cherishing. She exuded a serene beauty that brought peace to the heart.

"Mengyao pays respects to husband." Her voice was soft, her gaze filled with attachment.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and waved his sleeve.

"Click."

Nine radiant jade boxes materialized in the air, lining up in a row within the hall, their lids opening simultaneously.

Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance intertwined with the aura of Great Dao Laws filled the entire space.

Lu Yuan pointed at the fruits, introducing them one by one: "This is the primordial spirit fruit, containing pure Soul Power, capable of strengthening the Divine Soul Origin.

This is the Ginseng Fruit, its Qi and blood like a dragon, a sacred object for rebuilding the Physical Body Foundation.

That is the Fate Fruit, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, capable of gathering supreme Luck for the fetus in your womb.

And this Ten Thousand Laws Fruit, consuming it allows the Innate Dao Fetus to become attuned to countless Laws, mastering the Great Dao upon birth..."

Qin Mengyao looked at these legendary, rare treasures before her eyes. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, filled with shock and emotion.

Any one of these Divine Fruits, if released into the outside world, would be enough to trigger a war among Holy Lands. Yet now, in her husband's hands, they were laid out on the table like ordinary fruits.

"Husband... this is too precious. You've taken out so many at once. Did you empty the entire Yaochi Holy Land's reserves?"

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, not explaining the acquisition process in detail. He simply picked up the primordial spirit fruit emitting a purple halo and brought it to her lips: "These were indeed obtained from the Jade Pool. Just accept them with peace of mind."
