He obediently closed his eyes, waiting for her to be his reward.
Then……
A pill was stuffed into his mouth, and the familiar taste was that of the Primordial Taiyi Pill.
"Is this a reward?"
Shang Yanting opened his eyes, looked at her nodding, and remained silent for a moment.
After a while, he also gave up any other thoughts.
This kind of reward is indeed very much in line with Xitong's characteristics. With her unromantic mind, it's no wonder she couldn't come up with anything he wanted.
but……
"How do you possess the Primordial Taiyi Pill?"
Shang Yanting remembered clearly that ever since she lost two Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pills for unknown reasons, all the other pills besides being given to her were with him.
Could it be that she didn't eat?
"I got it from your talisman."
Jia Xitong said matter-of-factly, "Last night I was trying to sneak a peek... I passed by you taking a bath and found the Mi Su talisman in your clothes. The Yuan Chu Tai Yi Dan accidentally fell out of the Mi Su talisman."
Whatever I find is mine.
Shang Yanting looked at her, as if to say, "I'll just quietly watch you weave."
He gave himself so much of his stuff as a reward and made up such a stupid lie.
"How childish."
Shang Yanting commented.
Having said that, he took Jia Xitong's hand and led her into the cabin, to where they would be staying. After taking the Primordial Taiyi Pill, it was necessary for him to go into seclusion to digest its medicinal power.
On the other side, Jia Xitong revealed a triumphant smile.
She's not childish at all!
She secretly took the Primordial Taiyi Pill yesterday.
It was specifically made to feed Shang Yanting!
Shang Yanting spends all day on the boat; he's a walking seduction machine. Rather than letting him attract unwanted attention, it's better to let him stay indoors and cultivate in seclusion.
For example, right now...
Jia Xitong looked at Shang Yanting sitting next to her and let out a "hehehe" laugh.
As expected, she is a very shrewd and calculating person.
##
Shang Yanting faced upwards with his five hearts facing the sky, and the spiritual energy within his body was circulating rapidly.
The body and consciousness seemed to be separated.
His body was still absorbing the power brought by the Primordial Taiyi Pill, but his consciousness was constantly expanding, and images flashed before his eyes.
He was injured.
Some people learned of his dragon identity and relentlessly pursued him.
He fought back, but the man struck his mind with a palm, almost destroying his cultivation once again.
Shang Yanting suddenly opened his eyes, and his spiritual energy spread out at the same time.
This is how he prepares for the competition, which shows he's taking it seriously.
Even though the scene was blurry, it felt as if it were real.
Could this be... a warning for the future?
Shang Yanting frowned slightly at this thought.
He had consumed many elixirs, but only the Primordial Taiyi Elixir gave him this feeling. A strange warning, yet also like a simple illusion.
Just as he was pondering, Jia Xitong beside him also woke up from her meditation. "Host, what are you doing?"
She had certainly sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy just now.
She opened her eyes and looked at him, only to see his brows furrowed slightly. "Have you encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation?"
Jia Xitong looked at him in surprise.
She thought he had the double buffs of genius and dragon bloodline, and his cultivation level was rising rapidly.
"fine."
Shang Yanting assessed the amount of Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pills he possessed and pondered whether he should continue taking them.
It's not just for cultivation.
After he upgraded to a horned dragon, the effect of the Primordial Taiyi Pill was no longer as great as it was during the Chilong period.
The real problem is prediction.
The fact that the Wanhou clan forged the Dragon-Slaying Roar before was greatly helped by this foresight.
After a moment, he finally made a decision.
He can make another Primordial Taiyi Pill, but there can't be any enemies who could threaten him in the future!

Original World
In a dark and deep cave, Shang Yanting opened his cold eyes.
Compared to when Jia Xitong took care of him in that wealthy family's mansion, the original Shang Yanting became more gloomy, thinner, and paler.
He knew nothing about the system or Jia Xitong's affairs; all he knew was that she hadn't come for a long time.
He waited so long that his identity was exposed at that family's house;
It was long enough that he found a treasure she had left behind;
So long that he was found again by the dragon slayer, severely wounded, and fell into this dark and silent place...
Why hasn't she come to find him yet?!
In the original story, Shang Yanting clenched his fist so tightly that bright red blood flowed from his palm.
He just saw her...
She sat beside him, meditating with her eyes closed, a serious and obedient sight he had never seen before. However, that glance was fleeting, merely his illusion.
In the original story, Shang Yanting looked around at the darkness with disappointment, only wanting her to come back quickly.
Was it because he consumed too many Yuan Chu Tai Yi Dan?
He doesn't have to eat it anymore...
##
"From now on, your task is to cultivate diligently and strive to reach the mid-stage of the Rune King realm when you arrive at the Demon Cultivator territory."
Shang Yanting casually assigned Jia Xitong a task, speaking as if it were as simple as going from the early to the middle stages of the Fu King's reign.
"Honey, how could this be possible?"
Some people can even get stuck at this minor realm for a hundred years. "It's really super difficult, isn't it?"
"not good."
Shang Yanting pressed Jia Xitong down next to him, took out one Yuan Chu Taiyi Pill for each of them, and said, "Take it and cultivate with me."
"Dear host, I feel like my dragon horns are healed."
