Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

"The enhanced beauty pill is ready. I have improved it a bit this time, so I haven't made a large batch of it yet. I only made three pills in this furnace. Who wants to try it first?"

One morning in April, at the beach, Nalan Yiren took out the refined beauty pill and said to the girls.

This enhanced beauty pill was added with Nalan Yiyi's blood that had been enhanced by the four-transformation Taoji Gu. After gaining new insights from Yue Puzi, she also gained new insights into her poison skills. In addition, two new medicinal ingredients were added to the beauty pill.

However, it is a newly improved variety after all, and has not yet been put into experimentation, so Nalan Yiren cannot guarantee the final effect.

But she can guarantee one thing, that is, it will not kill people.

Of course, she also told the girls about this situation.

Women dress up to please themselves. Originally, the women were very happy and excited when they heard Nalan Yiren's first sentence, but they hesitated after hearing the second sentence.

It turns out that it hasn’t been tried yet. If they eat it, aren’t they experimental subjects?
"Yiren, is this improved beauty pill difficult to refine?" Chen Mo asked.

"It's not difficult, but I need to check the results of the samples to see if there are any problems and whether further improvements are needed to determine whether it can be refined in batches. The final product will not be available until next year." Nalan Yiren said.

"In this case."

Just when Chen Mo was about to ask his subordinates to conduct the experiment, Xiao Yunxi suddenly said, "Let me try."

Anyway, it won't kill people. Even if some other problems are caused by it, Nalan Yiren's medical skills can cure them. Besides, Nalan Yiren has said long ago that most of the herbs used to refine beauty pills are flowers, which are non-toxic and harmless. Even if two new herbs are added, they won't be very poisonous.

Xiao Yunxi couldn't wait another year.

You know, although she had taken the first version of the beauty pill, the effect of the first version of the beauty pill was to make the face more beautiful and delay aging, not to keep her youthful forever.

Xiao Yunxi is already in her forties. Although her appearance is still in the same state as when she first met Chen Mo, her skin has deteriorated a little.

This caused her to have appearance anxiety.

Nalan Yiren directly took out a beauty pill and gave it to Xiao Yunxi.

Nalan Yiren just said that she couldn't guarantee the results, that was just being modest. She is still very confident in her abilities.

After Xiao Yunxi took it, she went in and accepted it directly.

"How is it?" the other girls asked hurriedly.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head: "I don't feel anything."

Nalan Yiren laughed and said, "There is no such thing as an elixir that works instantly. That wouldn't be a miracle drug. We'll have to wait and see."

As she spoke, Nalan Yiren shook the porcelain bottle in her hand and said, "There are two more. Who wants to try?"

The girls kept silent for a while. It was only a year and they were not in a hurry.

Nalan Yiren did not blame them. She immediately handed the porcelain bottle to Chen Mo and asked him to pass it to his subordinates.

At this moment, Wanyan Ya whispered, "Your Majesty, Sister Yiren, I want to try it too."

Firstly, Wanyan Yaxin was thinking about the effect of the beauty pill. Secondly, she was from Jinxia. Because she was a foreign race and there were conflicts between Jinxia and Zhongzhou, she had always found it difficult to fit in among the women. So she wanted to gain the trust of Nalan Yiren in this way.

Even if this trust is insignificant, any progress is better than doing nothing.

Chen Mo poured a beauty pill for Wanyan Ya.

Nalan Yiren glanced at the other person and smiled.

"There's only one left." Chen Mo smiled at the other girls.

Afterwards, Chen Mo observed that Zhao Yuxu looked eager to try, but given her personality, she definitely didn't have the courage to speak up.

Chen Mo walked over, held her hand, and then, under her stunned gaze, gave her the remaining beauty pill and said, "Yu Shu, you haven't taken the beauty pill yet, right? This last one is for you."

"Oh oh." She looked like a bullied woman, so she didn't dare to refuse Chen Mo, but her face looked a little embarrassed.

An hour later.

The beauty pill is starting to take effect.

First, Xiao Yunxi wiped the sweat off her face, but she wiped off a layer of light-colored dirt.

At first, Xiao Yunxi didn't think it was caused by the beauty pills, but rather sweat and sand dust.

But when the dirt became more and more and the smell became a bit unpleasant, Xiao Yunxi realized that something was wrong.

At this time, not only her, but also Zhao Yusu and Wanyan Ya were the same.

So Xiao Yunxi asked Nalan Yiren to come over and take a look, but after seeing it, Nalan Yiren was overjoyed and said, "I admit that I gambled, but I gambled right."

Nalan Yiren quickly shared her joy.

It turned out that in addition to a deeper understanding of her own poison skills from Yue Puzi, Nalan Yiren also obtained some theoretical knowledge of marrow cleansing. After some research, Nalan Yiren took action.

The two new herbs she added were actually synthetic drugs she secretly concocted.

The essence of marrow washing is to remove dirt from the body, making the meridians more unobstructed, which can speed up the pace of cultivation.

Similarly, if used in beauty pills, it can clear the "melanin" on a woman's face, making the skin better and thus achieving the effect of beauty and skin care.

The most important thing is that the marrow-cleansing effect of the improved version of the beauty pill shows that her synthetic medicinal materials are useful. If she studies it further, she may be able to develop a real marrow-cleansing and meridian-clearing pill.

It should be noted that even if a low-grade warrior absorbs a breath of innate spiritual energy and becomes a middle-grade warrior, the breakthrough in realm will have the effect of cleansing the warrior's body.

But as long as the warrior continues to practice and eat, impurities will continue to accumulate in the body. Although some of these impurities will be cleared out through excretion, they are not completely cleared out.

However, if one uses the Marrow Cleansing Pill, one can cleanse relatively thoroughly, which is of great help in cultivation.

After Xiao Yunxi, Wanyan Ya, and Zhao Yuxu knew that this was the effect of the beauty pill, they quickly ran to the beach and washed themselves with sea water.

When the washed face was presented to the women, they were all stunned.

Because the changes are quite big.

First of all, Wanyan Ya's skin color was wheat-colored, or a slightly darker wheat color, just a little bit whiter than Yuzhu, but now, it has become a circle whiter, reaching the skin color of Song Min.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Yusu and Xiao Yunxi’s skin color did not become whiter.

But the two women's skin is already quite fair, so even if they become whiter, it is not obvious.

What is quite obvious is that the three women are much younger.

Take Xiao Yunxi for example. She was originally in her forties, but she looked like she was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

But now, it’s about the same as in my early twenties.

You should know that the first version of the beauty pill only has the effect of beautifying and delaying aging.

But it doesn't have the effect of making people feel younger again.

The girls looked at him with great envy.

Xiao Yunxi couldn't stop smiling. When she was in her twenties, her beauty peaked.

Chen Mo was also jealous. He decided to have the chance to favor Yun Xi tonight. Well, he also had to call Xiao Ya along.

He was not surprised by the changes in the three women.

Yiren's blood can help Si Song prolong his life, so it's normal for it to make the women a few years younger.

A few days later, the effect of the beauty pill was completely exerted. Nalan Yiren carefully questioned the three women and was relieved to see that they were not feeling any discomfort. The improved version of the beauty pill was successfully refined and had no adverse reactions.

In early May, Chaoping County finally welcomed a heavy rain that lasted for two days and the sky was gray.

The local people were very happy to see the rain, except Chen Mo.

In the study room, Chen Mo looked at the heavy rain outside the window and frowned slightly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and his hands pressed a little harder under the desk.

After a while, accompanied by a choking cough, Wanyan Ya came out from behind the desk with tears in her eyes and her face flushed.

After she calmed down for a while, Chen Mo pulled her into his arms.

Wanyan Ya was plump and soft, but her waist was slender, like a cat falling into Chen Mo's arms, accompanied by a rich fragrance, which made Chen Mo's mind fluctuate for a moment, and he said softly: "Er Ya, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Wanyan Ya's original name was Qi Erya, and her nickname was Erya.

Chen Mo knew how to coax women, and right after he had abused her, he began to caress her with gentle words.

Wanyan Ya felt quite aggrieved just now, but she always felt that she was not as good as the other concubines in the harem, let alone the imperial concubines, so she also considered her own status very low.

After all, in a sense, she is the spoils of the victor.

Therefore, when Chen Mo lowered his voice and coaxed her in a gentle voice, she felt that the grievance she had just felt was nothing.

"I'm fine." Wanyan Ya lowered her eyebrows, pursed her pink lips, and said in a trembling voice.

"Er Ya is really rare."

Chen Mo kissed Wanyan Ya's neck and reached his big hands into her clothes, feeling her delicate skin after she took the improved version of the beauty pill.

"woo"

Wanyan Ya's delicate body trembled slightly, her blushing face raised, her charming fox eyes narrowed slightly, misty, and she hummed softly, but said no words.

Just then, Sun Meng's voice was heard outside the house.

"Your Majesty, General Nangong has arrived."

Hearing this, Chen Mo took his hand out, and Wanyan Ya also stood up sensibly, tidying up her clothes.

Chen Mo said: "I know, I will be there soon."

Lobby.

Nangong Ru was chatting about family matters with Nangong Xian at this time.

Nangong Xian commanded a part of the Yulinwei navy and had been in charge of the business of the Maritime Customs in Cangzhou in recent years. The father and daughter had not seen each other for several years.

Although we occasionally exchange letters, family affection cannot be expressed solely through letters.

When Chen Mo came over, the father and daughter were chatting happily.

"Your Majesty is here." Someone shouted.

Nangong Xian quickly stood up, his dark and elegant face full of a respectful smile: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Father-in-law, please don't be polite." Chen Mo stepped forward to support him, looking at his dark face with a gentle gaze and a smile, "Father-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few years. How have you been?"

"Your Majesty, please take care of me. I am doing fine."

"Yesterday, Ruer asked me when my father-in-law would arrive. I didn't expect that he would arrive today."

"Your Majesty's order, I dare not delay."

"Okay, now that we are in private and there are no outsiders around, father-in-law doesn't have to be so reserved. Please sit down." Chen Mo looked at Nangong Ru and said, "Ruru, pour tea for father-in-law."

"Your Majesty, I just poured it for my father." Nangong Ru said.

"Then sit down, don't stand."

"Your Majesty, please."

After sitting down, Chen Mo took a sip of tea, looked at Nangong Xian and said softly: "Father-in-law, I asked you to come here because I have something to trouble you."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders." Nangong Xian looked serious.

"Father-in-law should have heard about the Nangong family's affairs, right?" Chen Mo said.

Nangong Xian nodded, and then said: "The Empress Yuan just told me that I was not aware of Nangong Jin's defection. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"Father-in-law, what are you talking about? I asked you to come here not to blame you, and I know that father-in-law has nothing to do with this matter." Chen Mo did not hide it and said, "I plan to go out to sea in the near future to arrest Nangong Jin. Father-in-law has been in the Maritime Customs for so long, he must be familiar with overseas routes, so let father-in-law lead the way this time.

In addition, I hope that after this, my father-in-law will be the head of the Nangong family and take charge of both branches."

Nangong Xian and Nangong Jin are half-brothers, but Nangong Jin is the legitimate son and he is the illegitimate son.

Later, after Nangong Xian became the captain of the Zhonglei of the Yuling Guard, he officially separated from Nangong Jin.

And Chen Mo hopes that after this, Nangong Xian will inherit Nangong Jin's family business.

The law has long provided for a special way of inheritance in which one son can inherit the ancestral hall of both his brothers and his father.

Legal and compliant.

Nangong Xian was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chen Mo was going to attack the direct line of the Nangong family. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Nangong family has made great contributions to the founding of our Great Wei. The reason why it has come to this day is closely related to the head of the family, Nangong Jin. I hope Your Majesty can investigate the main culprit, spare the other members of the family, and reduce the killing."

Nangong Ru was shocked when he heard his father's words. He didn't expect his father to plead for other members of the Nangong family. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty."

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the whole family will not be affected by the disaster. Besides, the Nangong family has made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty, especially the navy. If he can cooperate well, I will actually consider sparing his life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Mo did not plan to bring too many people with him on this voyage. After all, with his current strength, he could easily take on the entire army alone.

Therefore, without delaying his cultivation, Chen Mo only planned to take Nalan Yiren, Nangong Xian and a few boatmen out to sea.

But Chen Mo didn't expect that Nalan Yiren told him that she was pregnant.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then he became excited and ecstatic.

He was also happy for Naranyi.

Finally, I got what I wanted.

However, Nalan Yiren was pregnant and certainly could not stand the bumpy ride at sea.

This is good, I can stay and protect Mi'er and the others.

Chen Mo stayed with Nalan Yiren in Chaoping County for another two days.

May 8, the second year of Zhenguan.

It's sunny.

In the morning, Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan, Nangong Xian and a hundred fish-scale guards boarded a merchant ship converted from a warship and set off from the port of Chaoping County to overseas. (End of this chapter)
