My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 282 - 281 Comprehension Pill

That very afternoon, Jin Chaoyang issued a Bounty Order: whoever could capture the assailant who had attacked Jin Dalong would be rewarded with a thousand Spirit Stones! A hundred Spirit Stones for those who provide clues!

As soon as the Bounty Order was released, it caused a great commotion!

A thousand Spirit Stones! That's a thousand Spirit Stones! All the disciples went mad, frantically searching for the assailant, but despite turning the Tianyang Sect upside down, they couldn't find the perpetrator.

...

"Have we still not found the culprit?" Jin Chaoyang's brows were tightly furrowed.

"What's there still to search for! It must be Gao Fei!" Lin Meixiu blurted out: "He's the one who did it!"

Jin Chaoyang glanced at Lin Meixiu, "Do you have any evidence?"

"I..."

"Without evidence, don't spout nonsense!"

"You..."

"Gao Fei is not just any ordinary disciple, we need conclusive evidence to take action against him," Jin Chaoyang said gravely.

"In the end! You're just afraid of Song Qingfeng," Lin Meixiu said indignantly: "It's all your fault! If you had smoothly advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, you wouldn't have to fear Song Qingfeng."

"What are you talking about!" Jin Chaoyang's face darkened: "I've attempted closed-door cultivation more than a dozen times, and failed every time, you have no idea how depressed I am. And you, instead of showing any understanding, you stand to the side and make sarcastic remarks, do you want to anger me to death!"

"I didn't mean..." Seeing Jin Chaoyang flare up, Lin Meixiu immediately shrank back, not daring to cause any more trouble.

"A woman's place, with no sense at all, just complains when confronted with issues, crying and wailing, it's utterly annoying!" Jin Chaoyang flung his sleeves and left in a huff.

"Hey, where are you going!" Lin Meixiu called out a few times but received no response. She stamped her foot in frustration: "I've really made a fool of myself saying all that! Now look, I've annoyed Old Jin!"

...

The back mountain.

Inside a pavilion.

Jin Chaoyang was seated on a stone stool, slowly sipping tea in his hand.

He had built this pavilion himself, and whenever he felt upset, he would come here to sit for a while until his mood improved before leaving.

While others might vent their anger by smashing things or cursing, Jin Chaoyang chose to calm down by sitting quietly.

Initially agitated, his emotions gradually settled down after sitting for a while.

"Sigh..." Jin Chaoyang put down the tea cup and let out a sigh: "A wife that causes worry, a son that causes worry, cultivation that causes worry... my whole life is just one troubling matter after another!" Yesterday, Jin Chaoyang visited Jia Yunfeng. He spoke a lot of sweet words, then asked for Jia Yunfeng's daughter's hand in marriage for his son Jin Dalong...

only to be rejected by Jia Yunfeng, making Jin Chaoyang feel utterly humiliated.

Until now, Jin Chaoyang hadn't told Jin Dalong the truth, worrying that Dalong wouldn't be able to handle it.

But how long could he hide it?

Jin Dalong would find out sooner or later!

Too many worries! Too much to worry about!

"Old Jin! I've finally found you!" An old man came running from a distance.

"Old Zhao?" Jin Chaoyang stood up: "What do you need me for?"

"We've found the Blood Blossom Herb!" Old Zhao said excitedly: "And it's a thousand-year-old Blood Blossom Herb!"

"What!" Jin Chaoyang exclaimed: "Are you serious? You're not deceiving me?"

"Why would I deceive you? It's true, absolutely certain!" Old Zhao smiled: "It was found by my disciple, in a very remote desolate mountain. Old Jin, your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage is now possible!"

"That's great, this is really fantastic!" Jin Chaoyang was beside himself with excitement: "Quick, take me to see it!"

The two of them left in a rush, and after a short time, they arrived at the Elixir Room.

"Here you go, this is the Blood Blossom Herb." Old Zhao carefully opened a box, inside of which lay a small red plant, vibrant and exceptionally beautiful.

"It really is the Blood Blossom Herb, it really is," Jin Chaoyang trembled all over, his voice quivering as he spoke, "After so many years of searching, I've finally found it... Old Zhao, thank you! Thank you so much! Once I advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"

"With the Blood Blossom Herb, you can refine the Comprehension Pill, and not just any but a high-grade one. Once you consume it, you can comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws, and have at least a seventy percent chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage," Old Zhao said.

"Good, good," Jin Chaoyang nodded.

"You go back now, and once I've refined the Comprehension Pill, I will send it to you."

"How many can you refine?"

"Er... it's hard to say, if we're lucky, we can refine a few more, but if not, we might not be able to refine a single one."

"Don't scare me!"

"Don't worry, I will do my very best!"

"Then I... will wait for the news at home..."

"Go back, go back, don't disturb me here anymore," Old Zhao waved his hand.

Jin Chaoyang left reluctantly.

Once Jin Chaoyang had left, Old Zhao got busy, setting up the pill furnace, raising the fire, then placing the Blood Blossom Herb inside it, also adding many medicinal ingredients, closing the lid, and beginning the alchemy process.

Old Zhao was in charge of the Elixir Room, his full name Zhao Guang, a first-layer Golden Core cultivator, and he shared an extremely close, life-and-death friendship with Jin Chaoyang.

The Blood Blossom Herb was a very rare Spiritual Medicine capable of being refined into Comprehension Pills. Once consumed by a cultivator, it could increase their chances of breaking through bottlenecks, making it a coveted elixir for all cultivators!

Over the years, Jin Chaoyang had always been searching for the Blood Blossom Herb but had never found it. Just when he was losing hope, Zhao Guang found it, giving him a huge surprise!

With the Blood Blossom Herb, one could refine Comprehension Pills. With Comprehension Pills, one could enhance their chance of breaking through bottlenecks!

...

News of Zhao Guang beginning to refine Comprehension Pills spread swiftly, taking only half a day to spread throughout the entire Tianyang Sect.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"What?"

"Manager Zhao of the Elixir Room is going to refine Comprehension Pills."

"Why are you so excited! Even if the Comprehension Pills are refined, you won't get any!"

"I heard that Manager Zhao is refining Comprehension Pills for Elder Jin. After consuming the Comprehension Pills, Elder Jin has a very high chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Once Elder Jin successfully advances, the structure of Tianyang Sect will change."

"Who knows, there might be two Sect Leaders in Tianyang Sect..."

"Nascent Soul Stage, that's the realm I dream of reaching! I wonder if I have any hope of achieving it in this lifetime!"

"So envious, so jealous, so resentful!"

"Comprehension Pills are most effective for Golden Core cultivators, but those in the Inedia Stage and Qi Gathering Stage disciples can take them too."

"Stop dreaming, the Comprehension Pill is so precious; how could it be given to Inedia Stage disciples or Qi Gathering Stage disciples?"

...

The temptation of the Comprehension Pill was simply too great. Everyone wanted to get one.

Song Qingfeng became very conflicted upon learning this news...

If Jin Chaoyang successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, Tianyang Sect's strength would surge, and by the same token... Song Qingfeng's power would diminish! He would no longer be able to suppress Jin Chaoyang.

There were pros and cons indeed!

All this time, the relationship between Song Qingfeng and Jin Chaoyang was superficially cordial but fraught with hidden rivalry. For years, Song Qingfeng had the upper hand because he was more advanced in cultivation, always overshadowing Jin Chaoyang, but now... the situation was changing, Jin Chaoyang had a great chance of becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and when that time came...

Song Qingfeng would find himself in a difficult position.
