My Silly, Sweet Wife

Everyone fell into silence.

No one spoke again.

After a long while, Qin Cangqiong spoke: ”State Preceptor, can you bring Muge back to life?”

The State Preceptor knew that Qin Cangqiong already had a plan, so he said nothing more and directly took out a compass.

”Heaven and earth boundless, borrow the laws of heaven and earth!”

As the words of the State Preceptor fell, a wisp of black gas spiraled out from the compass.

The black gas wrapped around Qin Muge’s remnant soul, then quickly spread into Qin Muge’s body.

”Soul fusion!”

The State Preceptor shouted again, casting a spell while quickly shoving a pill into Qin Muge’s mouth.

Next, it seemed that something in Qin Muge’s body attracted the remnant soul, slowly pulling it into Qin Muge’s body.

This process lasted for several minutes.

Once the remnant soul fully merged into Qin Muge’s body, Qin Muge suddenly opened his eyes, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

”Where am I?” Accompanying his words, Qin Muge suddenly sat up, looking around blankly.

”Muge, are, are you alright?” Qin Cangqiong, extremely excited, grabbed Qin Muge’s shoulder, his eyes slightly red.

With blood ties, Qin Cangqiong held Qin Muge in high regard. If something really happened to Qin Muge, he would probably be despondent for a long time.

”Father?” Qin Muge’s bewildered eyes gradually returned, as if remembering something: ”That’s right, where’s Brother Ye?”

”Brother Ye?” Qin Cangqiong was puzzled.

”Ye Guichen, Brother Ye. I remember he was the one who brought out my remnant soul.” Qin Muge struggled to stand up, wanting to find Ye Guichen.

Qin Cangqiong was stunned: ”How do you know it was Ye Guichen who saved you?”

The State Preceptor came forth to explain: ”It’s simple. Although the Second Prince’s soul was extracted and became a remnant soul, it still retained fragmented memories, and if these fragmented memories are profound enough, they get imprinted on the soul.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Cangqiong nodded slowly, but couldn’t quite understand why Qin Muge had such a deep impression of Ye Guichen: ”Muge, did you know Ye Guichen long before?”

”Of course. Father, if it weren’t for Brother Ye, I might have already died.” Then, Qin Muge recounted once again what had happened at the Spirit Beast Sect in great detail.

Prior to this, Qin Muge had already reported to Qin Cangqiong.

At the time, Qin Cangqiong had sighed, saying Ye Guichen was a young hero.

Hearing it again at this moment, Qin Cangqiong couldn’t help but be dumbfounded: ”That young fellow you mentioned, is Ye Guichen? The one who caused a huge commotion at the Spirit Beast Sect half a year ago?”

”Yes.” Qin Muge nodded repeatedly: ”Brother Ye has saved my life twice, I must go find him right now.”

But Qin Cangqiong had a peculiar expression: ”Muge, are you really sure this Ye Guichen is the same Ye Guichen from back then?”

Qin Muge was puzzled: ”Why wouldn’t I be sure?”

”But, from what you say, back then his cultivation didn’t seem high. How could his cultivation have increased so fast in just half a year?”

The Supervisor agreed with a nod: ”Second Prince, as you said, half a year ago, Ye Guichen was only at Foundation Establishment, perhaps the second or third layer. Although he was able to leave the Spirit Beast Sect unharmed, he couldn’t confront the entire sect. Even if he were a prodigy with unmatched talent, it would be impossible for him to advance so quickly in just half a year. After all, on the path of cultivation, the further you go, the harder it becomes; as the saying goes, progress against the current grows more difficult.”

”After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, progress must be measured in years, with some steps requiring decades, yet in just six months, he has the means to slay the Golden Bell and magicians. How could he be alone?”

”What slaying of the Golden Bell and magicians?” Qin Muge was unaware of the events that had transpired, only sensing that it was Ye Guichen who saved him, knowing almost nothing else.

Qin Cangqiong recounted the series of events.

Upon hearing it, Qin Muge laughed heartily: ”Father, Supervisor, Your Majesty, if you say anyone else’s progress isn’t this fast, that might be possible, but with Brother Ye, any miracle isn’t really a miracle. If I said that when I first met him, he had just barely broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even dared not confront the Wan Jian Villa directly, would you believe me?”

”What?”

”Impossible!”

”Where in the world exists such cultivation speed?”

Qin Muge raised his head, took a pill from his bosom, and handed it to Qin Cangqiong: ”Father, take a look at what kind of pill this is.”

”This is...” Qin Cangqiong looked down at the pill in his hand with confusion.

Merely holding it in his hand, Qin Cangqiong could feel the pill radiating immense power, seemingly having a potent healing ability for injuries.

”State Preceptor, have a look, what grade pill is this?” Qin Cangqiong could no longer remain calm.

As a ruler of a nation, he had seen the world, but such high-grade pills were quite rare.

The State Preceptor took the pill without initial reaction, but upon touching it, his hand trembled, exclaiming incredulously: ”This, this is the Pei Yuan Pill, which only high-grade Alchemists can refine, it’s priceless, Your Majesty, priceless indeed.”

Seeing the State Preceptor’s excitement, Qin Cangqiong asked puzzled: ”What is it, State Preceptor, even you can’t refine it?”

The State Preceptor shook his head with a bitter smile: ”Your Majesty, I am merely a third-ranked magician. Though I study alchemy, the grade of pills I can refine isn’t high, and for such a Pei Yuan Pill, it’s a constant failure.”

”What? Even you can’t refine it?” Qin Cangqiong finally showed emotion, looking at Qin Muge again: ”Muge, where did this pill come from?”

”Brother Ye gave it to me.” Seeing everyone’s reaction, Qin Muge inexplicably felt proud, taking pride in knowing Ye Guichen.

”What did you say?” Qin Cangqiong and others’ pupils contracted: ”You mean, he’s also a high-grade Alchemist?”

”Second Prince, though your relationship with Ye Guichen is good, the path of Alchemy is not like Martial Arts. It’s not so easily refined. Could there be a misunderstanding, and this Pei Yuan Pill was refined by someone else, and he acquired it by chance?” The State Preceptor remained incredulous that someone of Ye Guichen’s age could have such prowess.

Alchemy and cultivation are entirely different concepts.

In martial training, sometimes sufficient diligence can compensate for lack of natural talent.

But alchemy is not like that.

Without opportunity or even certain talent, even if you break your head trying your entire life, you cannot enter the path of alchemy, let alone refine high-grade pills.

An alchemist, in value, is no less than a magician.

Sometimes, a dedicated alchemist because of specialized skills, can be even more valuable than a magician.

If this pill was indeed refined by Ye Guichen, then Ye Guichen must be reassessed.
