Chapter 2374

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and said, "Since I brought you here against your will, by the rules, you cannot leave. How about this? You and your son focus on refining artifacts. Do your wife and daughter know how to refine?"

"No, my wife and daughter do not know how to refine," Leng Manshuang replied.

"That makes it easy. You and your son refine artifacts. Your wife and daughter will help me. I usually plant and process herbs alone. Now I have two extra helpers." Zhu Yanyi considered it. Since she had brought them here, they were hers. She couldn't just throw them away, so keeping them was the best option.

"However, you must still cultivate properly. I don't want to have to save you if you face danger. Of course, living in this Suiyuan Pharmacy is safe," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

"Thank you, Fairy." Leng Manshuang accepted the suggestion. For him, it was the best outcome because he could now focus on refining.

Leng Manshuang told his wife and children. The family of four sighed in relief. They had noticed the place had abundant spiritual energy and was very safe. They didn't want to leave unless necessary. Now, they didn't have to.

Since she kept the Leng family, Zhu Yanyi assigned them a small courtyard.

Seeing the new courtyard appear in the compound, Leng Manshuang was stunned. "Master, is this Suiyuan Pharmacy also an artifact?"

"Yes, my husband refined it for me," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "She worried I might have trouble. So she made this. It can block all attacks below the True God level. Also, this pharmacy grows. If more people live here, new courtyards appear, like the one for you."

"Incredible." Leng Manshuang always thought he was a high-level refiner. But now, seeing the pharmacy, he realized his skills were not enough. He needed to improve.

Zhu Yanyi had no talent for refining, so she supported Leng Manshuang’s work. She needed many containers for medicine. Even though Yan Aohan had made many for her, she never had enough.

Zhu Yanyi did not stop Leng Manshuang from having her own ideas. Ge Yanyan and Leng Yunyan became Zhu Yanyi’s assistants. The three of them planted and processed herbs.

Leng Yunyan watched Zhu Yanyi process herbs skillfully. Her eyes were full of surprise and envy. "I really want to learn alchemy, but I always fail."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "You want to learn alchemy?"

"I want to, but I can't find a teacher," Leng Yunyan admitted. "My father likes refining. My brother likes refining. My mother doesn't refine, but she helps them. No one around me knows alchemy, so I only help them."

Leng Yunyan sighed, looking regretful.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "If you want to learn, it’s not impossible. I can't teach you directly, but you can watch me."

"Master knows alchemy?" Leng Yunyan looked surprised.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I not only know alchemy, but also medicine and drug preparation. I know a little of all three. I may not be the best in the Immortal Realm, but I am not bad. I believe I will surpass them one day."

Zhu Yanyi spoke with unshakable confidence. This glow made Leng Yunyan feel she couldn't see Zhu Yanyi clearly.

"Sister, you are so beautiful," Leng Yunyan said sincerely.

Zhu Yanyi’s face, already not ugly, now had an indescribable charm. This charm could make others admire her, even other women.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Really? My husband says so too."

"Your husband? Is he your Dao companion?" Leng Yunyan asked curiously.

"Yes, my husband, my spouse, and my lover. The Heavenly Dao recognizes us as companions," Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously.

"But I don't see him here," Leng Yunyan asked.

"She has her own path. She is working hard for her Dao. I must work hard for mine. Wait, one day you will see her," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

"Okay." Leng Yunyan nodded. She was very curious about who could win Zhu Yanyi’s heart.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the medicine in her hand. "By the way, I gave your father the antidote yesterday. Did you all take it?"

"Yes, Father gave it to us when he got home. Now we feel relaxed," Leng Yunyan said happily. "This poison was specially made by our Leng family. Father said there was no antidote."

Ge Yanyan, working nearby, laughed at her daughter’s words. "You mean Master’s medical skills are high, so she doesn't mind. But the Leng family doesn't have such high skills. And ordinary people can't cure this poison. It is said this poison was specially requested from the Medicine King Valley. Even the Medicine King Valley might not be able to make the antidote."

Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "From what you say, the Medicine King Valley’s skills are not good. Your poison is troublesome, but not incurable. Why can't the Medicine King Valley cure it? Is there a reason you don't know?"

"Probably. The Medicine King Valley said they would never cure this poison," Ge Yanyan said. "I guess it’s not that they can't, but they won't cure the Leng family’s poison for some reason."

"That guess is reliable," Zhu Yanyi said. "From what you say, I think it’s clear. The Medicine King Valley probably owed something to a Leng family ancestor. So they gave the poison and promised not to cure it if the Leng family used it. Over time, it became known that the Leng family’s poison is incurable."

"The Leng family… so many years have passed. It looks big, but there is much filth inside. The leaders are getting worse with each generation. Because of the ancestors, we couldn't leave. Now that we are out, I feel much lighter," Ge Yanyan smiled lightly.
