Chapter 69: Dingyuan Dan

  Xuan Kong looked at Wang Qi's enigmatic smile and suddenly had an idea. He still had a lot of elixirs and artifacts on him that he used for experimentation in his daily life. In the eyes of the Xian family, they were naturally not worth mentioning, but as a gift to mortals, they would be more than enough!

  Xuán Kōng was overjoyed and rushed towards Wáng Qī with a smile, but Wáng Qī only felt his heart skip a beat, and suddenly felt something was off.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Eldest Brother pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

  "Hehe, Dingyuan Dan has an amazing effect of preserving a youthful complexion."

  Xuan Kong opened the bottle cap and released a wisp of refreshing fragrance, chuckling to say: "Unfortunately, there's only one."

  Wang Qi hadn't even reacted to how Master Brother was looking at him with such a teasing gaze when he was suddenly slapped on the hand by his usually gentle and elegant sister, who quickly and carefully took the porcelain bottle from Xuan Kong's hands.

  Women have always been most concerned about their appearance, especially those with a bit of charm, and are even more afraid that the passage of time will take away their youthful looks.

  Wang Qi's sister immediately fell in love with Dingyandan and almost snatched it from Xuankong's hands at a speed of robbery.

  Holding it in his arms, he thought of what Xuan Kong said, that there was only one, and his heart couldn't help but sigh.

  The Wang family is a large one, with Wang Qi's parents above him and five males and two females in his generation. Moreover, people in this world get married very early, even the younger generation has many children already.

  Wang Qi's sister is second in line at home, and there are six younger sisters under her.

  If there were three such elixirs, that would be great. One for Mother to send away, one for Sixth Sister to keep, and the remaining one for myself to take, from then on all sisters in the family will have eternal youth.

  What a pity, there's only one.

  She didn't know whether to give it to her mother or leave it for her younger sister, Liu Mei, who had always been fond of clinging to her. Her gentle nature made her think deeply, and before she knew it, tears began to fall silently, startling Xuan Kong, who quietly pulled Wang Qi aside to ask what was going on.

  Wang Qi rolled his eyes, but still whispered his sister's thoughts into Xuan Kong's ear. He couldn't help but complain: "Good brother, why didn't you mention this treasure when we were on the mountain? Now that we're at my house, you bring it out to please my sister."

  Xuan Kong thought that in this chaotic world, everyone was already out for their own interests.

  But he didn't expect that he would underestimate the filial piety of ordinary people in this world.

  Although the world is chaotic, there are still a few lines of moral bottom line.

  Heaven and Earth, rulers and parents, teachers are revered above all.

  Xuan Kong regretted not leaving more of the elixir residue on Mount Cui, which would have spared Wang Qi and his sister from their current predicament. He was a man who couldn't bear to see people cry in front of him, regardless of whether they were male or female - he would simply turn around and leave without saying another word.

  But now it feels warm in my heart, having seen the bandits and robbers fighting fiercely along the way, as well as the noodle shops that use dead bodies as a big meat.

  Xuan Kong had been feeling somewhat downhearted with his grand ambition to promote the Taoist sect, but only now did he feel uplifted.

  He has always been generous, and since he knew the reason, he comforted Wang Qi's sister by saying: "This... young lady..." He also felt that the title was not suitable, so he changed his mouth to say: "I and Wang Qi were brothers on the mountain. If you don't mind, I'll call you Er Jie too."

  Wang Qi's second sister originally thought that Xu Kong was "dull and stupid", thinking he was a companion Wang Qi had made on the road, only to find out now that he was actually a fellow disciple from when her younger brother was seeking the Tao.

  She was also a fairy among humans, she walked nervously to Xu Kong's front, made a courtesy and replied softly: "Uncle's elixir is the treasure of the immortal family, if it's precious, I don't dare to accept."

  Xuan Kong smiled and said, "This elixir is not as precious as you think. It's just a byproduct of my experiment with the Longevity Elixir. Although it can preserve one's youthful appearance, it cannot extend one's lifespan. For us cultivators, it's nothing more than a useless trinket. I'll give it to Second Sister instead, and she might find some use for it."

  Wang Qi interrupted, "My eldest brother's magical powers are vast and great. Once we bring him back home, let him refine a basket of Dingyuan Dan. We'll keep some for ourselves and leave some to sell at the entrance of the Zhang family's house. One hundred taels of gold per pill, not a single one will be sold for less."

  Xuan Kong slapped Wang Qi and scolded with a smile: "A basket of Dingyandan? You sold me to your family as a servant?"

  However, he also said: "There is no basket of elixir, but one furnace can produce about 20 or 30 grains. When I find all the materials, I will refine a furnace with your family." Wang Qi asked: "I don't know what kind of medicine it is, as long as it's available in Ninghai County, my Wang family can gather it."

  Xuan Kong Dao: "I originally had a few more main medicines left to experiment with the Longevity Pill, and the other ordinary auxiliary materials should be available at the pharmacy."

  He told Dan Fang to Wang Qi, and Wang Qi carefully took off his shirt, bit his finger and wrote it on the shirt. Only then did he invite with a smile: "Ah, we've all arrived in Ninghai County, why is Master still standing here? Come on, come on, let's go to my younger brother's house for a short stay!"

  He handed his shirt over to his sister with a smile, and Wang Qi'er was no ordinary woman, she knew what was good and bad.

  Tightly tucking away the clothes with the prescription for Dan Dan's medicine, who knows, it might become a treasured family heirloom of the Wang family in the future.

  Xuan Kong gave Wang Qi a glance, this junior brother had been with him for so long and had finally learned some bad habits. Not seeing any benefits, he wouldn't loosen his tongue, how he missed the old Wang Qi who was still a bit silly when they first went up to Congshan Mountain.

  Is it possible that this cultivation path can also enlighten one's mind and intelligence?

  What's the logic in this?

  There are quite a few born fools in the world, especially when this world doesn't know the harm of close relatives marrying each other. Those wealthy families often advocate for door-to-door and kinship, which further increases this proportion. If you can find a way to open up your spiritual intelligence, then your future disciples of the Cui Shan Sect will also greatly benefit from it.

  Xuan Kong sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

  As Maitreya Zen Master finished collecting the gold and silver, he put on a show for himself to leave. The county people below also dispersed one after another. With Wang Qi, a local guide, leading the way, the carriage's speed was not slow, and in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had already walked from the city gate to the center of Ninghai County.

  Some sharp-eyed servants had already recognized the second young lady of their own family and the seventh young master who had been away from home for many years, and they quickly ran to the back hall to report the good news. The remaining people hurriedly attended to stopping the carriage in front of the empty space in front of the Wang family's large courtyard.

  No need for Wang Jun and others to be busy, these diligent housekeepers have already done everything.

  All he heard was a commotion behind him, and a large group of servants escorted Old Master Wang out. Wang Qi looked at the familiar faces of his relatives, already so happy that he was stunned, just standing there stupidly. Xuan Kong smiled and got off the carriage, stood beside Wang Qi and patted his shoulder, indicating for him to go up and pay his respects.
