Chapter 14: Responsible for One Person Wei Mubai smiled but said nothing. He only...
Wei Mubai smiled without saying anything. It was just that his soul was naturally stronger than others.
"...Okay," Xu Hui wiped her face. "According to what you said, I have a natural affinity for plants. I am the only one who can grow those medicinal plants that have not yet been domesticated in the wild?"
"Not bad," Wei Mubai nodded.
"If I plant it in the spiritual field space, does it mean that it has been domesticated and the seeds can be given to other people to plant as well?" Xu Hui pondered, thinking of the biology knowledge he had learned.
"You can try." Even without Wei Mubai saying it, she could imagine the difficulty involved. It was definitely not something that could be accomplished with one or two plantings.
Moreover, there will always be some loss in the process of domestication, such as the drug becoming less effective, becoming more dependent, etc.
But in any case, it is safer and easier than collecting in the wild, and it can also be mass-produced.
At this moment, Xu Hui had a stronger sense of mission and no longer regarded this place as an insignificant game world. It was as if her appearance was inevitable and played an important role.
[Beep—Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission, taming the spiritual plant, and making your own unique contribution to the world of cultivation!]
Xu Hui's eyes gradually lit up, as if a lost ship had found a lighthouse.
I couldn't wait to open the task panel, and under the main task, a hidden task appeared. It was a long-term task with extremely generous rewards.
For each spiritual plant tamed, one hundred points will be awarded, as well as related elixir recipes.
As a top-scoring college entrance examination candidate, she once truly believed that she could contribute to the country's development. Even if she was not the best one, she still had her own value.
But the truth about being a cannon fodder and the reality of traveling to a strange world hit her hard.
Anyone who knows that they are just a supporting role will feel that the world is collapsing and their three views are shaky.
After traveling through time, although he behaved normally and completed the tasks issued by the system step by step, he could not find an anchor point, could not find the direction of his life, and did not know the meaning of his existence.
Should I continue to be cannon fodder for others? Or cultivate immortality and become a god? But what's the point of that?
She just wandered around like that, not caring about others or herself, so when she suspected Wei Mubai wanted to take over her body, she seemed so calm and composed, and didn't care at all.
She really didn't know what to do if she continued to live, so she gave up easily without even struggling.
But now, she found that her existence was meaningful and not dispensable.
It seems that she is important, even irreplaceable, to this world!
Xu Hui's eyes lit up, and she blurted out the truth, "You know my value, so you bind me with marriage!"
Wei Mubai was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "You are a medicinal plant master, and I am an alchemist. We are a match made in heaven, aren't we?"
Xu Hui's mouth twitched. What a match made in heaven.
"Not necessarily. If the system can provide the recipe, I can also become an alchemist," Xu Hui deliberately contradicted him.
"You can try it," Wei Mubai did not discourage her. After she tried it, she would know that alchemy was not suitable for her.
Xu Hui thought about it and gave up. She had to practice, plant, and tame. She was already very busy. One must know how to make choices so that one can focus and be excellent.
"Then I may not choose you. I can find many alchemists to cooperate with me," Xu Hui said, but it was not what he wanted.
"I have ethereal roots and have subdued the Glazed Pure Fire. Only I can refine top-grade elixirs. Giving perfect medicinal materials to others is only of top grade," Wei Mubai said in a light tone, without showing off, but making people believe for no reason that this was the fact.
"System, what is the Void Spiritual Root?" Xu Hui had never heard of this kind of spiritual root.
"You can understand it as the exact opposite of the Chaos Spiritual Root. You have all five elements, while I have none of them," Wei Mubai kindly explained to her.
But Xu Hui didn’t understand what the hell was the meaning of “nothingness of the five elements”. Did it mean there was nothing? Air?
No, air is also made up of various substances.
[You can understand it as Pangu creating all things, and all things are empty.] System explanation.
Xu Hui still didn't understand, so she stopped dwelling on it and asked directly, "Then why are you the only one who can refine top-grade elixirs?"
"During the alchemy process, one needs to use spiritual power to pinch and guide the spiritual power into the medicinal liquid. The empty spiritual root has no attributes. After removing the impurities of the medicinal materials, only the original properties of the medicinal materials are left, and it will naturally become a top-grade spiritual pill."
The spiritual roots of other people belong to the five elements. After being injected into the elixir, although it is spiritual power, it also has attributes. In a sense, it is an impurity. With too many foreign objects, the elixir can never become the best.
Xu Hui was speechless. It seemed that they were really...a perfect match!
But even so, how can one be called a prospective college student if he is not rebellious? "Then there is no need for any marriage, we can just cooperate. Or do you not trust my character and think that I will betray the Wei family?"
"No," Wei Mubai laughed softly, "You have no reason to betray the Wei family."
The benefits the Wei family gave her were far greater than what other families could give. Apart from anything else, there were only three alchemists in the world who could refine the Fortune Pill, and the materials were even harder to find. The Wei family might not be able to produce a second one even after accumulating for tens of thousands of years, but they gave it to her easily.
By cooperating with the Wei family, she can use the pills refined by Wei Mubai as she pleases. After all, she is the supplier of the source of the medicinal materials, and she can just grow a batch when needed.
Apart from this, who else could offer such a treasure as the Lingtian Space to bribe an outsider like her?
Now that the space has been given, will the Wei family be stingy with other treasures?
Just like Wei Mubai, he casually gave her a storage bracelet and a storage ring with spiritual fruit, he was so generous and inhumane.
Her treatment is probably similar to that of Madam Wei. Which family or force can do that?
"...Alright," Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. After taking so many good things from others, she should at least give an explanation. "Let's make a heavenly contract. As long as you don't betray me, I will never betray you!"
It doesn’t matter whether he gets married or not. Anyway, the legitimate son of such a big family has to wait until the stage of distraction to get married.
This is the stage above the Nascent Soul stage, when it is easiest to conceive offspring. The so-called separation of spirits refers to the differentiation of consciousness and cultivation.
The man and woman each differentiate into a spirit body and jointly conceive a baby. They do not need to do it themselves. When the child is born, the spirit body returns to the body.
The three siblings of the Wei family were all born by the head and wife of the Wei family during this period. This not only gave the children excellent qualifications, but also did not harm the mother's cultivation, killing two birds with one stone.
The danger of Mrs. Wei getting into trouble while she was pregnant with Miss Wei San was due to a plot. Her main body was severely injured, which affected her spirit and the child she was pregnant with, making it so dangerous.
Xu Hui felt that this method of reproduction by high-level cultivators was very friendly to female cultivators. Because they were spiritual bodies, both parents took half the responsibility, and pregnancy was not just the female cultivator's business.
Of course, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, pregnancy is the same as that of ordinary people, and they are carried by female cultivators, which will have a certain impact on the female cultivator's cultivation during the pregnancy.
Therefore, any female cultivator with extraordinary talent would not find a Taoist partner before becoming a spirit, so as not to harm their own path to immortality.
Forget about some people who are in love and don’t have a clear mind, but Xu Hui is not one of them.
Therefore, consummation of marriage will be a long time in the future.
It would take at least a thousand years to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage, right?
As for the Heavenly Dao Contract, it is a constraint on both parties, and regretting it after it is made will result in a huge price to pay.
First of all, half of his cultivation will be destroyed, and he will fall several levels. He will also be seriously injured. If he does not have enough resources and luck, he may die directly.
Xu Hui used this opportunity to guarantee that she would not betray her unless she gave up her cultivation.
At the same time, this contract is also a protection for her. After the contract is signed, if either party dies, the other party will also be seriously injured.
In this way, Wei Mubai will protect her well even for his own sake.
In addition, if one party is injured, the other party will sense it and use magical tools to even locate the other party and teleport directly to the other party. This is definitely a good way to save lives.
Thinking of this, Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh that the heroine was worthy of being the heroine. She could easily break such a harsh contract with the Heavenly Dao, and the price was just a minor injury.
This is incredible luck!
In the book, Wei Mubai accidentally entered the Endless Abyss, which is a place of nothingness and is not bound by the laws of nature.
One of them is inside and the other is outside. It seems that the engagement is broken. The heroine's breaking of the engagement is just to remove the restraint and she will not suffer any backlash.
I wonder if Xu Hui has such good luck?
Oh, forget it, forget it, same person but different fate, let’s talk about the future later.
Since she had asked, Wei Mubai naturally would not refuse. He immediately took her to the clan temple, signed the contract, and wrote her name directly next to "Wei Mubai".
It only took a quarter of an hour to get out, and the ceremony was incredibly simple.
But the contract placed on the soul is a real bondage!
Xu Hui was playing with the identity jade token she had just received from the Wei family's ancestral elder. Something occurred to her. "Oh, right, I only participated in the first assessment and missed the remaining two. Can I still become a disciple of the Wei family?"
Is it a special recruitment?
"No," However, Wei Mubai's words shattered her dream of getting a job. "You are not a disciple of the Wei family. Your resources come from me. If you want something, you can use the token to get it directly. You can get anything within my authority."
So... this is a secondary card?
"What if you die?" Xu Hui was deeply influenced by her mother's teachings and understood that having something by herself was not as good as having it by her husband.
Wei Mubai's expression was calm, and he didn't take it to heart. "As long as you stay in the Wei family, my resources will continue to be given to you, even if I die."
Of course, these are just basic resources that all direct descendants have. The bulk of them actually come from Wei Mubai's contribution to the Wei family.
After his death, this part was naturally gone, but even if there were only basic resources, it was still more generous than outsiders could even imagine, and Xu Hui would have no problem using it safely until she ascended to heaven.
"Then do the spiritual herbs and domesticated medicinal plants I grow count as contributions?" Xu Hui still felt that she should not be completely tied to Wei Mubai.
"Of course," Wei Mubai's eyes flashed with approval, "You can exchange it for points and use the points to exchange for anything you want."
After saying this, he used a secret voice transmission to speak directly into Xu Hui's mind, "Only father and elder brother know that you can collect the medicine perfectly. Keep it up. I think you should know how to preserve 70% to 80% of the medicinal properties, right?"
Xu Hui nodded quickly, and asked doubtfully, "Don't let the rest of the Wei family know?"
She had kept it a secret before because she knew she couldn't protect him with her own strength, but now she has the Wei family, right?
Wei Mubai shook his head slightly. "The Wei family is a behemoth, and the other families are not bad either. They will not allow the Wei family to dominate alone. The Wei family is not united either."
The Wei family, which has the talented alchemist Wei Mubai, has already surpassed other families.
The first on the last year's list of geniuses was Wei Muheng.
With Wei Mubai's strength, he may be able to compete with Mu Yuan, but there is no need to do so.
The benefits cannot be enjoyed by one party alone, otherwise it would be bad if it attracts attacks from all parties.
The appearance of Xu Hui will completely break this balance, which will be a great boost to the Wei family and a disaster for other families.
So being exposed means danger. What about the other people in the Wei family?
After all, his real relatives are only the head of the Wei family, Madam Wei, Wei Muheng and Wei Muyan!
Xu Hui was thoughtful, "You did this on purpose!"
She was deliberately not allowed to take part in the subsequent assessments and become a disciple of the Wei family, but only walked as Wei Mubai's fiancée. In this way, her connection with other people in the Wei family was not close, and only Wei Mubai was involved.
No matter what achievements she made afterwards, the Wei family could not take it for granted that she had to pay for it, because she did not use any resources of the Wei family, but Wei Mubai's personal property.
Later, exchanging things for points is a transaction, not a favor.
"That's right," Wei Mubai praised. "The spiritual field space is not owned by the Wei family's treasury, but is a private property left to the descendants by the Wei family's ancestors. The materials for the Creation Pill were also exchanged by me with points, so from now on, you will be solely responsible for me."
Xu Hui: ...
Cunning and cunning, but she likes it!
Rather than being entangled with an entire big family, with entangled interests and numerous troubles, it is better to owe only one person. This way, the cause and effect will be easy to repay. At worst, I can just compensate him with myself.
