253: Chapter 253 Another Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator!

Lu Shiyin's beautiful eyes flickered as she listened.

Every single effect of the Taiyi True Water was extremely practical, and for a Cultivator like her who was about to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

“Husband, this Taiyi True Water... what is its production speed?”

She asked the key question.

Ye Changge smiled.

“That depends on Sister Shiyin's cultivation. With your current Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivation, pushing the Jade Cleansing Vase with all your strength, you can produce about three drops per day. As your cultivation improves, the quantity and quality produced will also increase.”

“Three drops a day...”

Lu Shiyin murmured the repetition, calculating silently in her heart.

Although it wasn't much, it would accumulate over time into a very considerable amount of resources.

Furthermore, this Taiyi True Water was a consumable that could be used long-term; for the Family, its significance was immense.

Ye Changge looked at his wife in his arms and changed the subject.

“Once Sister Shiyin has refined the Spiritual Artifact, there is one more thing I must trouble you with.”

“Please speak, husband.”

Lu Shiyin looked at him seriously.

Ye Changge pondered for a moment and said:

“Old Ancestor Ye Fan's Lifespan is running low. Although I have a way to extend his life, before that, I need to nourish his Physical Body. His body has suffered too much wear and tear over the years and is too fragile; if we use the medicine directly, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand that majestic medicinal power.”

He paused and continued:

“I would like to ask Sister Shiyin to use the Taiyi True Water to nourish Old Ancestor Ye Fan's Physical Body, first letting him recover some blood and vitality. Once his physical condition improves, the chances of success for the Life-Extension Method will be much higher.”

Hearing this, Lu Shiyin nodded solemnly.

“Rest assured, husband, I have noted this matter. Old Ancestor Ye Fan has labored for the Ye Family his entire life; I will certainly do my utmost.”

Ye Changge held her hand with relief.

“With those words from Sister Shiyin, I can be at ease.”

He calculated silently in his heart.

The matter of Old Ancestor Ye Fan's life extension concerned the future stability of the Ye Family.

Although the old man was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, his prestige within the Family was extremely high; he was the Ye Family's Stabilizing Force besides himself.

With him around, the Ye Family would have an extra layer of protection.

When he went out, he could also feel more at peace.

Lu Shiyin suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly to look at Ye Changge.

“Husband, you said just now... that you brought back a new woman from this trip?”

Ye Changge's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.

He rubbed his nose, gave a light cough, and nodded.

“Yes, I was just about to tell Sister Shiyin about this.”

He took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't hide it, so he decided to tell her frankly.

“Her name is Xiao Caiyue, a Second-Order Array Master from Qingxuan Immortal City. Her attainment in Formations is quite deep, and she especially excels in the design and layout of Composite Grand Arrays.”

“I went to the Immortal City this time originally to scout for a Formation talent for the Family, and I happened to meet her at the Free Trade Fair. She possesses the Dragon Chant Body, with an excess of Yang Qi in her body causing an imbalance of Yin and Yang; her Lifespan was less than a year...”

Ye Changge told Lu Shiyin everything about Xiao Caiyue's situation—

From their meeting at the Free Trade Fair to the discussion in the Formation shop, then to signing the Spiritual Contract, becoming Dao Companions, and even the treatment process in the Immortal Cave.

He did not hide any details.

Because he knew that with this kind of thing, the more one tried to cover it up, the easier it was to cause misunderstandings.

It was better to be honest.

Lu Shiyin listened quietly, her expression calm, though a flicker of complex emotion occasionally flashed deep within her beautiful eyes.

When Ye Changge finished speaking, she remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh.

“...Dragon Chant Body... No wonder you stepped in to help, husband.”

She looked at Ye Changge, her eyes carrying a bit of helplessness and a bit of indulgence.

“Husband is good in every way, except for this one flaw—being far too sentimental.”

Ye Changge gave an awkward smile, not daring to respond.

Lu Shiyin shook her head and continued:

“However, I do understand this matter. That Miss Xiao suffered from a terminal illness; since you had the ability to treat her, how could you stand by and watch her die? Moreover, she is a Second-Order Array Master, which is indeed a great help to the Family.”

She paused and changed her tone:

“Only... next time you go out, husband, could you bring back a few less? If this continues, I'm afraid our Ye Family's inner courtyard won't be able to hold them all.”

Ye Changge rubbed his nose and said sheepishly:

“Sister Shiyin must be joking... How could I be so...”

Halfway through, he couldn't even finish his own sentence.

Thinking carefully, the women he had brought home these years—

Lu Shiqing, Liu Yiyi, Xiao Caiyue...

Adding in the wives and concubines at home, there were indeed quite a few.

Seeing his guilty look, Lu Shiyin couldn't help but burst into a giggle.

“Alright, I'm not blaming you.”

She reached out, gently stroking Ye Changge's cheek, and said softly:

“Husband is a man who does great things; it is only right to have a few more people around to serve you. I only ask that you don't forget that there are people at home waiting for you.”

Ye Changge felt a warmth in his heart, held her hand, and said solemnly:

“Sister Shiyin, rest assured, I will never forget.”

Lu Shiyin smiled slightly and leaned back into his arms.

“Does that Miss Xiao's Profound Yin Body require my help to nourish?”

She suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Ye Changge felt greatly relieved.

Sister Shiyin was indeed such a reasonable person.

He nodded quickly.

“It is indeed needed. Xiao Caiyue's body is too weak; although I've treated her and temporarily stabilized the situation, to fully recover, she still needs long-term nourishment. Sister Shiyin's Taiyi True Water can perfectly help her nourish her Dantian and stabilize her Foundation.”

Lu Shiyin nodded.

“That's good. Once she arrives at Longmai Mountain, I will make the arrangements.”

Touched, Ye Changge lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

“Thank you, Sister Shiyin.”

Lu Shiyin gave him a playful glare.

“We are husband and wife, why say thanks?”

She paused and asked again:

“What is that Miss Xiao's temperament like?”

Ye Changge thought for a moment and said seriously:

“Dignified and gentle, well-educated and sensible, she carries herself with great poise, very much like a lady from a prestigious Family. Moreover, her Formation attainment is extremely high, and she is meticulous in thought—a very intelligent woman.”

Lu Shiyin gave a soft “mm” upon hearing this.

“Sounds like someone easy to get along with.”

She looked up at Ye Changge, a hint of mischief in her eyes.

“Husband's taste has always been good.”

Ye Changge gave an awkward smile, not daring to pick up that thread of conversation.

Lu Shiyin didn't press further, just leaning in his arms and gently closing her eyes.

The sunlight outside the window gradually slanted westward, casting long shadows on the floor.

The study was quiet and warm, with only the sound of their intertwined breathing.

Ye Changge gently stroked his wife's back, his gaze cast toward the distant horizon outside the window.

There lay his future path.

The people he wanted to protect.

The ambitions he wanted to achieve.

Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation—

He would surely reach that step.

Taking his Family, his wives, and his children along with him.
