Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

’Who’s protecting who?

I’m a Da Xingzi with over a thousand years of cultivation, and my master wants to protect *me*?

Don’t I have any pride?’

Although Gongyue Monarch thought this, he didn’t say it out loud. After all, his master had just saved him.

Lu Yuan took out the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device and said, "Gongyue Monarch, I’m sorry you’ll have to make do with living in here from now on."

Gongyue Monarch cupped his hands humbly. "Don’t worry, Master. I’m not picky!"

Having nowhere else to go, the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device was actually a fine new home for Gongyue Monarch.

After speaking, Gongyue Monarch slipped inside the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device.

Lu Yuan used the Sound Transmission Skill to try and communicate with Gongyue Monarch inside the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device.

"Master, you called?"

"It’s nothing, I was just testing it."

"Master, since we both know the Sound Transmission Skill, this Spirit Capturing Device cannot block it."

"Mm."

Gongyue Monarch was born during the era of the Five Barbarian Tribes’ Turmoil in China. Before that time, all sorts of Daoist Skill Secret Manuals were abundant, and the Sound Transmission Skill was not considered a high-level technique. Almost all Cultivators of that era knew it.

After the Five Barbarian Tribes’ Turmoil in China, a great number of Daoist Skill Secret Manuals were burned, and countless Cultivators were slaughtered, causing many Daoist Skills to be lost to time.

The Celestial Dynasty Palace’s Treasure of the Palace, the Celestial Master Sword, was also lost, but it had now appeared in Lu Yuan’s hands.

The rewards Lu Yuan received from his system were things that had once existed but later vanished into the river of history, now brought back into the world.

Lu Yuan stored the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device back in his System Space.

The Seven-Star Wind Pill Furnace hovered in mid-air.

Right now, Lu Yuan’s only thought was to hurry up and increase his strength.

Having just taken a Seven-Turn Pill, Lu Yuan’s body was overflowing with so much Inner Strength that it felt on the verge of spilling out.

’Even the Inner Strength of the masters of the Celestial Dynasty Palace and Le Shen Temple is probably only at this level.’

Lu Yuan opened the "Alchemy" Secret Manual. Since the Pill Furnace contained the necessary ingredients, he decided to skip the Earth Level Inferior Elixir and start refining an Earth Level Middle Level Elixir directly.

An eerie blue flame licked at the Seven-Star Wind Pill Furnace as he added half a stalk of Fire Phoenix Bamboo.

After several hours, a wisp of black smoke emerged from the lid of the Seven-Star Wind Pill Furnace. The black mist had been completely refined.

"It should be done!" Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan brought the Pill Furnace flying before him. The lid opened, revealing a blackish-green elixir.

Lu Yuan took out the elixir and held it in his palm. "WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH... Ouch, that’s hot!"

Lu Yuan juggled the elixir from hand to hand, blowing on it to cool it down as quickly as possible.

After a moment, Lu Yuan held the still-warm, blackish-green elixir and examined it, muttering to himself, ’Will eating this really improve my power?’

Since it was the only one, Lu Yuan couldn’t possibly use it for a test. Steeling himself, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Instantly, Lu Yuan felt an unbearable heat course through his body, and a blackish-green flame erupted from his mouth.

’Such potent medicinal power!’ Lu Yuan sat down cross-legged, using all his Inner Strength to fight back against it.

Inside his body, the eerie blue flame and the blackish-green flame canceled each other out, but it was Lu Yuan who suffered the consequences.

Several houses away, Su Liyan clearly felt a surge of heat in the air—the aura of the flames overflowing from Lu Yuan’s body.

’What’s going on? What is he doing now? Such a powerful aura, rampaging so wantonly.’ Su Liyan pushed open her door and stared in the direction of Lu Yuan’s room.

As Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, the abundant Inner Strength that had filled his body was once again rapidly depleted.

Lu Yuan took out a Seven-Turn Pill, needing it to restore and expand his Inner Strength.

Lu Yuan looked at the Seven-Turn Pill. ’If it weren’t for this Human Level Superior Elixir, I’d probably be burned to a crisp by now.’

Lu Yuan felt like some kind of pill-popping maniac. He had just taken a Seven-Turn Pill in the morning, and now he had to take another in the afternoon.

His formidable Inner Strength had been completely drained twice in a single day.

The weakness that followed felt like a normal person who hadn’t eaten for two days—dizzy and seeing spots from hunger.

Lu Yuan swallowed the Seven-Turn Pill. His Inner Strength was replenished, and the eerie blue flame, bolstered by his power, continued to counteract the blackish-red flame.

Lu Yuan felt his head grow heavy and his body began to sway from side to side.

When he swallowed the blackish-green elixir, Lu Yuan already knew full well that it contained the residual toxicity of the black mist.

Without using the black mist, it would have been difficult to refine the powerful flame he needed using only the Fire Phoenix Bamboo.

His eerie blue flame was already powerful enough, but it was vulnerable to rootless water.

If he could refine an even more powerful flame, Lu Yuan wouldn’t suffer a loss like the one he had against the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace.

He just hadn’t expected that even after several hours of refinement, the elixir’s toxicity would still be so strong that he couldn’t handle it.

Su Liyan pushed her way in, closed the door behind her, and pulled the silk ribbon from her waist. Her hands glowed with a white light, and after working it over, she hung the now-glowing ribbon from the roof beams.

The ice-cold ribbon began to absorb the heat radiating from Lu Yuan’s body, which had filled the room.

Su Liyan had understood the situation with a single glance upon entering.

Su Liyan tiptoed to Lu Yuan’s side and sat down, saying gently, "Lu Yuan, I’m here to help!"

Lu Yuan was busy suppressing the unruly flame within him. He managed to force a faint smile, feeling quite embarrassed that his wife was seeing him in such a sorry state.

’I’m a grown man; I can’t have my wife cleaning up my messes every time!’

Lu Yuan said awkwardly, "Honey, what are you doing here? I’m burning up. Don’t touch me."

Su Liyan said softly, "I’m not afraid."

Su Liyan placed her hand, which was glowing with a white light, on Lu Yuan’s back, intending to help him suppress the rampaging flame inside him.

But no matter how hard Su Liyan tried, Lu Yuan’s condition showed no signs of improvement.
