The Path to Immortality of Silly Pillar in the Courtyard

"Brother Zhu...you..."

When Pan Jinlian saw He Yuzhu's appearance, she almost fainted.

He Yuzhu helped Pan Jinlian up and comforted her, "Sister Lian, don't worry, I'm just poisoned."

"Waaah... Brother Zhu, how did you get poisoned? Is there any way to save you?" Pan Jinlian, who looked just like Yang Simin, cried with tears streaming down her face.

"There's hope, don't worry."

"What should we do? You'd better save yourself!" Pan Jinlian said urgently.

"Um... Sister Lian, go to compound number 95 and find Qin Huairu for me. Don't tell her I'm looking for her, just say you want to chat with her."

"Ah, Brother Zhu, what do you want with Qin Huairu?" Pan Jinlian asked, looking puzzled.

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "I need to use her to detoxify."

"What?"

"Go quickly," He Yuzhu urged.

Pan Jinlian didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly left.

Qin Huairu, the bloodsucking white lotus, reminded He Yuzhu of the conditions Xiaoqing had mentioned to him.

This woman seems to fit all the criteria. Although she doesn't fit the criteria of a widow, Jia Dongxu was actually already dead, and it was he who defied fate and saved him.

In no time at all, Pan Jinlian brought Qin Huairu over.

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu was startled when she saw He Yuzhu's appearance.

"It's alright, Sister Qin, come with me, I need to talk to you about something," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Qin Huairu's expression changed slightly, and she looked very unnatural. "Um, Zhuzi, our family doesn't have any money right now, I..."

He Yuzhu raised his hand to interrupt Qin Huairu, saying, "It's not about money; I have something else to discuss with you."

"Oh, okay." Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Sister Lian, wait for me in the front yard. Sister Qin and I are going to have a chat."

"Okay, Pillar, you go ahead?"

He Yuzhu led Qin Huairu towards the backyard.

Qin Huairu felt uneasy. She couldn't figure out why He Yuzhu wanted to talk to her. If it wasn't about money, could it be...?

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's heart suddenly raced and her cheeks burned; she dared not think any further.

In a daze, Qin Huairu followed He Yuzhu into the west wing of the backyard.

Qin Huairu blushed and was about to speak when she suddenly felt her eyelids drooping, and then she lost consciousness.

"Sister Qin, I'm sorry."

He Yuzhu smiled and carried Qin Huairu to the bed, letting her lean against the headboard. Then, following the soul-capturing technique Bai Suzhen had taught him, he made a few hand gestures, and with a surge of purple energy, touched Qin Huairu's brow with his finger...

A miraculous thing happened. Qin Huairu's entire body suddenly emitted a faint light, which transformed into wisps of green smoke and instantly entered He Yuzhu's brow.

He Yuzhu dared not delay, and quickly circulated his purple energy, using the incantation to merge Qin Huairu's soul and spirit into his own.

"Dede dede..." Suddenly, He Yuzhu's whole body trembled, and his teeth chattered, making a dede sound.

"Come out here..." He Yuzhu roared, and a cold glint suddenly shot out from his arm, but the glint was bound by an invisible force as soon as it flew out.

That glint of cold light turned out to be a small flying insect, shaped much like a tick, which was making a squeaking sound as it was trapped.

"Have mercy..." the tick suddenly spoke in a human voice.

"Die..." He Yuzhu thought for a moment, and the space where the tick was located rippled like waves before instantly returning to normal, and the tick had disappeared.

"Phew—" He Yuzhu let out a long breath. In just a short while, he had fully recovered. The Purple Cloud True Qi had repaired all the damage in his body, and his mind could communicate with the laws.

Looking at Qin Huairu, who was still unconscious, he thought to himself that this woman was indeed a reincarnation of a bloodsucking white lotus.

I just don't know if this woman will become stupid if I take a part of her soul.

He Yuzhu transferred a wisp of true energy to Qin Huairu, and after a short while, Qin Huairu slowly woke up.

"Hey... Pillar, what... what did you do to me?"

Qin Huairu gasped and instinctively covered her chest, but then she realized that her clothes were intact and there was nothing wrong with her lower body.

For some reason, Qin Huairu was somewhat disappointed.

But then her eyes darted around, her features contorted, and suddenly, "Waaah..."

Qin Huairu burst into tears, but not a single tear fell from her face.

"Sister Qin, stop pretending, okay?"

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly. At the same time, he was very surprised. This woman was unharmed after he extracted one of her souls and spirits. She did not become stupid. How could this be?

"Waaah... I don't want to live anymore, you... you bullied me!" Qin Huairu cried.

"Sister Qin, how about this, you don't need to pay back that ten thousand US dollars." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, she took out the IOU, which was covered with the fingerprints of Jia Dongxu's family.

"Waaah..." Qin Huairu immediately stopped crying and asked in shock, "Zhu Zi, are you serious?"

"Okay, we're even. Go back and live your life properly."

Qin Huairu took the IOU with trembling hands, then slowly got out of bed. She looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, tell me, what exactly did you do to me?"

"I just wanted to chat with you, but I didn't expect you to fall asleep so quickly," He Yuzhu explained with a smile.

"I don't believe you!" Qin Huairu was about to ask another question when He Yuzhu had already left the room.

She didn't dare to ask any further, since she had no evidence to prove that He Yuzhu had laid a hand on her.

"Ouch... I feel a little dizzy?" Qin Huairu almost fell as she walked. She suddenly felt very dizzy and weak all over.

"Brother Zhu, you're all better!" Pan Jinlian was overjoyed to see He Yuzhu had recovered.

"Okay, don't worry."

"Yes, that's great." Pan Jinlian's face lit up with joy, but then she saw Qin Huairu walking over. The woman was unsteady on her feet and swayed unsteadily.

"Sister Qin, what's wrong?" Pan Jinlian asked Qin Huairu, who had come over.

"I don't know, I feel dizzy and weak all over!" Qin Huairu's voice was somewhat weak.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu and guessed that she was experiencing the aftereffects, but he didn't say anything. He just considered it as saving her husband's life.

"Then you should go home and rest." Pan Jinlian knew the reason to some extent, but dared not ask any more questions.

Qin Huairu walked away unsteadily.

"Sister Lian, take her some nutritional supplements when you have time," He Yuzhu said, watching Qin Huairu's retreating figure.

"Okay, I understand."

"Sister Lian, I won't be sleeping in the middle courtyard tonight. I need to go back to the back courtyard to recuperate."

"Okay, Brother Zhu, take good care of yourself."

He Yuzhu nodded and then returned to the backyard.

He needs to improve his strength and find a way to unlock the third major breakthrough.

He sat down cross-legged and took out the old man Ai Xin Jue Luo's Qiankun bag to look at it.

But after studying it for a while, he discovered that it was protected by a restriction, and he couldn't open it at all.

If he can't open it by conventional means, he can use unconventional means, namely the power of laws.

With a thought, ripples appeared in the space, and his hand reached into the Qiankun bag without any hindrance.

Gold, gems, various pills, two flying swords, and countless materials he couldn't understand—none of these were what he wanted. Finally, he pulled out a jade slip.

He Yuzhu's face lit up with joy; this was definitely a cultivation technique jade slip.

A drop of blood fell into the jade slip and was instantly absorbed. Then, a white light entered the space between the eyebrows.
