A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Eliza stared at Chen Yang in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly: "Mr. Chen... this... this is the result of half a day's work? All one thousand materials have been refined, a near-perfect completion, and all of them are top-grade pills! You truly are an unparalleled alchemy genius!"

Chen Yang raised his hand and waved it, laughing heartily: "Just a little trick, nothing to brag about. By the way, I hope the Empress will fulfill the promise of spirit stone reward as soon as possible."

Eliza was slightly taken aback. She truly hadn't expected that someone as extraordinary as Chen Yang would care about worldly spirit stones. But she dared not delay, and quickly said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, rest assured! I will have someone count and send them to your residence immediately! However, due to a temporary treasury transfer, we can only raise twenty million spirit stones for now. Please accept them first, and I will make up the difference immediately!"

"Alright." A glint of light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes as he nodded frankly. "He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding. I will accept this batch of spirit stones and will naturally do my best to continue refining pills for you and healing the people. In addition, those alchemists who need training should be assembled as soon as possible. I will teach them alchemy techniques as soon as possible to share the burden."

Eliza responded readily and immediately issued orders to arrange everything, with great efficiency.

Before long, all twenty million spirit stones were delivered to Chen Yang.

Holding the heavy storage spirit stones, Chen Yang's heart stirred slightly. With this huge sum of spirit stones, he finally had enough resources to begin cultivating the last water-attribute divine ability that he had been delaying in perfecting.

He turned to Eliza and asked earnestly, "Your Majesty, I would like to inquire where I can find a complete water-attribute supernatural power technique. It doesn't need to be top-grade, as long as the technique is complete and without any flaws or omissions."

Eliza frowned slightly upon hearing this, inwardly sighing with admiration. Chen Yang, so young, possessed extraordinary combat prowess and unparalleled alchemy skills, and now his cultivation progress was advancing by leaps and bounds, truly deserving of the title of a prodigy of all ages.

After a moment's thought, she shook her head with a look of shame and said, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, water-attribute supernatural abilities are extremely rare, and most of those circulating in the world are incomplete. Truly complete water-attribute supernatural ability techniques are only held by sects that have water-attribute Golden Core cultivators. I have thought carefully, and there isn't a single well-known water-attribute Golden Core expert in the entire Central Continent. This matter... I am truly powerless to help."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. My golden core has been sealed and my cultivation has been completely destroyed. I no longer have the power and connections I once had, so I can't be of much help to you."

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand and said gently, "Your Majesty need not blame yourself. Receiving such a huge amount of spirit stones is already an immense favor, and I am deeply grateful."

After saying goodbye to Eliza, Chen Yang turned and walked quickly toward the back room.

As soon as you step into the courtyard, a rich and enticing aroma of food wafts over you, whetting your appetite. Inside the house, a table laden with exquisite dishes and several jars of aged wine are neatly arranged, steaming hot and fragrant.

Liu Qingxia and Liu Nianqiu were sitting side by side at the table, chatting and laughing softly, their eyes filled with tenderness. Hearing footsteps, the two women simultaneously looked up and stood up, their eyes full of gentle smiles.

Liu Qingxia stepped forward naturally, gently took Chen Yang's wrist, and led him to sit between the two women. Her eyes were gentle and tender: "Back then, our wedding was rushed and simple. We didn't even get to drink a cup of wedding wine or a cup of nuptial wine. Today, we have some free time, so let's make up for the regrets of our wedding back then."

As she finished speaking, she raised her hand to pick up the wine glass in front of her, smiling radiantly.

Chen Yang laughed heartily and raised his glass in response.

Liu Nianqiu, standing to the side, was instantly filled with helplessness, secretly thinking: We clearly agreed that it was just a simple home-cooked meal, how did it suddenly turn into drinking a toast?

Liu Qingxia glanced at her younger sister's bewildered expression and teased, "Third sister, what are you standing there for? Do you expect your husband to personally kiss you and feed you wine?"

Liu Nianqiu's cheeks flushed, and she quickly spat out, "Second Sister! When did you become so vulgar! Where did your gentle and dignified demeanor go? I should be the one making these teasing remarks!"

Seeing his younger sister's shy and reproachful expression, Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia exchanged a smile, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere in the room.

Liu Qingxia chuckled and said frankly, "This is not vulgarity. You are still an innocent young girl, shy and reserved. I am already my husband's wife, a young woman, so naturally I am more insightful and open-minded than you."

"Chen Yang and I have long been inseparable and in perfect harmony. Now, we are just waiting for you two to tie the knot and for us to drink your wedding wine."

Liu Nianqiu's ears turned bright red. She secretly looked up at Chen Yang beside her, her mind churning with thoughts.

In fact, she naturally admired Chen Yang as well. Back in Qingzhou City in the Southern Region, it was she who took a liking to the down-on-his-luck Chen Yang at first sight and strongly advocated for rescuing him and bringing him back to the Liu family to be their son-in-law.

At first, I just wanted to find a shield to deal with the family disputes, but I never expected that today would turn out like this.

Just as Liu Nianqiu hesitated and was in a daze, Liu Qingxia shoved a glass of wine into her hand and urged with a smile, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and finish the nuptial wine!"

Liu Nianqiu blushed and was at a loss for words, which made Chen Yang, who was standing next to her, feel a little embarrassed. He quickly raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't make a fuss. There's no need to force this. Back then, you married me only as a temporary measure, just to find a shield. Now that the crisis has passed and the world is at peace, each of you carries a shocking secret and has unlimited potential. There's no need to be bound by a marriage contract or a wedding ceremony in name only."

Liu Qingxia tilted her head slightly, her eyes serious and firm, and softly retorted, "Husband, you're wrong. My eldest sister made it clear back then that even though the wedding was simple and rushed, the three of us sisters married you formally, gave you a dowry, and made you our wife. We've decided on you for life. Marriage is a matter of keeping one's word. We never take it lightly, and you're not allowed to go back on your word and run away."

As she spoke, she looked at Liu Nianqiu again, her eyes gentle and urging, "Third Sister, don't just stand there."

Looking into her second sister's sincere eyes, Liu Nianqiu finally smiled with relief, raised her wine glass, and gently wrapped her slender arm around Chen Yang's arm.

Her face flushed, she tilted her head back and downed the fine wine in one gulp. A mix of shyness and tenderness filled her heart, but more than anything, she felt a sense of peace, sweetness, and contentment.

But when she thought about how her second sister would most likely be forced to leave and her future was uncertain, a layer of determination quietly settled in Liu Nianqiu's eyes.

She secretly made up her mind. Her two older sisters had sacrificed so much to protect their family and each other, and now it was her turn. She too would learn to sacrifice, to take responsibility, to protect those around her, and to cherish this hard-won warmth.

At a family dinner, the three chatted and laughed, reminisced about the past, and joked around, eating for a full three hours. Barriers disappeared, feelings deepened, and the affection between the three grew stronger.

Under Liu Qingxia's deliberate matchmaking, Chen Yang and Liu Nianqiu sat side by side, hand in hand, their behavior becoming increasingly intimate and natural.

Liu Nianqiu was a young girl just beginning to experience love, having never experienced romantic love before. Now, enveloped in the tender atmosphere, she was gradually falling for him. Coupled with the determination she had already made in her heart, she no longer deliberately resisted getting close to Chen Yang, readily accepting his identity as her wife, and slowly integrating into this tender bond.

As dusk settled and a gentle breeze blew, Liu Nianqiu leaned softly on Chen Yang's shoulder, her eyes filled with affection and tranquility. Yet, the young woman retained a vestige of reserve, maintaining her final composure.

That night, Liu Nianqiu and the Liu Qingxia sisters slept side by side and talked all night long.

Chen Yang naturally had to live alone in the outer room.

"Sigh, it seems my third wife has arrived, and now I don't have a wife to hold while I sleep..." Chen Yang shook his head in frustration.
