Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension
Chapter 986 - 554: This Night
CHAPTER 986: CHAPTER 554: THIS NIGHT
Zhao Sheng and the seven women only stayed in the tree cave for a short time. After paying respects to the Feihong Ancestor, they left the tree cave with the treasures bestowed by the ancestor.
The Immortal Crane Flying Car had barely taken off into the clouds when the excited chirping of the seven women echoed inside the carriage, completely forgetting their ladylike demeanor.
Zhao Sheng touched the three treasures in his arms, thinking it was no wonder the seven women were so excited and out of character; the treasures granted by Feihong Ancestor were indeed too precious.
The Longevity Pill is a third-tier top-grade treasure pill, and its sole effect is everlasting youth!
Most importantly, the main ingredient of this pill is the fruit from the Da Chun Divine Tree.
It’s known that the Da Chun Divine Tree blooms once every hundred years, bears fruit every hundred years, and it takes another hundred years for the fruit to fully mature.
In other words, it takes three hundred years to produce nine Chun Fruits, and each Chun Fruit can only refine one batch of Longevity Pills.
Moreover, only the fruit from a Da Chun Divine Tree that has gone through a tribulation can be used to refine the third-tier Longevity Pill that grants everlasting youth.
Besides the Longevity Pill, Chen Ying, Chen Qi, and Chen Shuang, who were co-wives, received a complete set of top-grade spiritual artifact level phoenix crown and red wedding dress, but the other four women were not so fortunate.
Of course, the seven women were merely supporting roles; Zhao Sheng was the one most valued by the Feihong Ancestor.
In addition to the Longevity Pill, Zhao Sheng was also bestowed with a portion of Tree Spirit Liquid and the Thunder Drawing Bottle magical treasure.
The Tree Spirit Liquid is derived from the Big Chun Tree Heart Marrow, comparable to the Heaven and Earth True Water level, it not only has the miraculous effects of strengthening qi and nourishing spirit, and refining, it can also slightly extend one’s lifespan.
As for the Thunder Drawing Bottle, there’s no need to elaborate; it naturally possesses the ability to attract, contain, and transform thunder into water.
Driving the Immortal Crane Flying Car, Zhao Sheng quickly arrived at the cave mansion where Chen Dacheng and his wife lived, and then he and the seven women paid respects to his adoptive father and adoptive mother.
Zhao Sheng and his eight companions stayed there for about four hours, similarly carrying the gifts bestowed by the elders, they boarded the Immortal Crane Flying Car and set off back to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
By the time they returned to Hidden Dragon Pavilion, dusk was near.
The courtyard was adorned with lights and decorations, red silks entwined around the verdant tree pillars, waves of Immortal Music lingered, and the garden was filled with swirling clouds and mist.
The seven beautiful women alighted the immortal carriage and immediately shyly hid in their own bridal chambers, awaiting their husband to share the wedding wine.
To marry three wives and four concubines on the same day was truly a story for the ages!
However, Zhao Sheng faced a dilemma. Admiration from the beauties was a joyous thing, but who should he enter first in their bridal chamber?
After pondering it over, he finally made a decision. Since Chen Ying was the adoptive father’s own daughter, she must be the first no matter what.
Moments later, with a creak, Zhao Sheng pushed the door open and entered.
At this moment, the room was filled with intoxicating fragrance, various auspicious decorations adorned the walls, and a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles quietly burned on the incense table, casting a gentle glow that illuminated the bridal chamber.
Next to the incense table sat a lovely figure clad in a phoenix crown and red wedding dress, her bright eyes and graceful demeanor captivating, Chen Ying’s cheeks flushed red, unable to meet her husband’s gaze, her peerless beauty, enhanced by the candlelight, put all the flowers to shame.
"Ying’er, it’s getting late! You see..." Zhao Sheng said with a smile as he approached, leaning down to gently speak to the blushing Chen Ying.
Chen Ying blushed so deeply she was nearly burying her chin in her chest, stammering in a voice as faint as drifting threads, "H-husband, we haven’t... drank the wedding wine!"
Zhao Sheng laughed heartily, picking up the pair of dragon and phoenix wine cups from the incense table, he handed the phoenix cup to Chen Ying, smiling, "Ying’er, let’s drink this wine together!"
A crisp clink echoed as the wine cups hit the floor!
Before Chen Ying’er could finish the wine in her cup, she felt herself being lifted by a strong and powerful arm.
Chen Ying felt dizzy, her delicate body instinctively curling up in the warmth of the embrace, listening to the strong and rhythmic thumping from her husband’s chest, she felt her own heart race wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
The short distance felt as though it spanned a lifetime!
When her delicate body sank into the soft couch, the deer in Chen Ying’s heart was wildly racing, she slowly opened her apricot eyes, meeting with a pair of eyes as bright as the stars, filled with intense heat.
In an instant, she felt as if she were suffocating and instinctively called out, "Husband!"
"Ying’er, the auspicious hour has arrived, let me help you undress!"
Listening to her husband’s warm and magnetic voice, Chen Ying felt intoxicated and dizzily enthralled, her limbs suddenly felt weak, and she couldn’t muster even a trace of strength...
In this scene, it can truly be said: Behind embroidered windows drawn with silk, red candles and gold cups reflect verdant brows. In front of the bed, mandarin ducks snuggle together, the warm and fragrant bedchamber dances with dragons.
An hour later, Zhao Sheng opened the door and stepped out. Refreshed, he briskly entered Chen Qi’er’s bridal chamber...
That night, the jade pot’s light turned, stars shifted in the sky.
That night, dragons played with phoenixes, rivers surged and seas roared.
That night, seven comings and goings, seeing dragons lay down their armor.
...
At dawn the next morning, Zhao Sheng, his face pale, slowly walked out of Chen Lingfeng’s chamber, ultimately choosing to rest in Chen Ying’s room.
The meaning within, unspoken, yet understood!
For the next three months, it was the honeymoon period of deep affection for the newlyweds, and Zhao Sheng’s days were blissful and heavenly.
Those within the Chen family paid close attention to the happenings at the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, seeing Zhao Sheng’s harmonious and loving relationship with his wives and concubines, as if they were immersed in honey, they finally felt at ease, turning their hopes to Chen Ying and the seven women quickly becoming pregnant and bearing children.
Only by giving birth to children could Chen Mingxi and the Chen family truly be tightly bound together.
However, cultivators have always found childbearing difficult, and conceiving isn’t something that happens easily.
Even though the Chen family secretly provided many spiritual medicines for fertility, such matters still depended on fate.
Zhao Sheng, sharing his affections equally, diligently tried for three months, but the results were ultimately unsatisfactory.
