Chapter 19 Baptism of the Flesh
Beside the soft, large bed, Yun Chen lay with his eyes closed in a peculiar posture, as if he were resting.
After returning from the Jiang family, he stayed by the mother and daughter's side all night. He left last night, and the whole time was only two hours. He returned before midnight.
That night, he pondered deeply about how to cleanse Qin Xi and the child's marrow.
Because his Immortal Emperor-level power was sealed, he lost control over the ultimate Dao Law. Otherwise, he could have instantly transformed his family, leading them onto the path of immortality, granting them unparalleled talent for cultivation, and even transforming them into top-tier immortal experts!
Therefore, the only way to help family members embark on the path to immortality is through very primitive methods, which first require baptizing their physical bodies.
Yun Chen stretched out his right hand, on which was a snow-white ring that glowed like a snowflake, surrounded by a mysterious luster and spiritual light.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he retrieved a pile of rare and precious treasures from the cultivation world, including various incomparably precious medicinal herbs.
Yun Chen was very hardcore, directly refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill with his bare hands. He chose some basic medicinal materials with mild medicinal properties because he also had to consider the physical condition of his family members. Otherwise, their bodies would not be able to withstand the terrifying effects of pills with too high a level. He first cleansed their marrow and then guided them onto the path of cultivation.
Qin Xi sat up and called out to him, "Husband!"
To her, Yun Chen seemed somewhat unfamiliar at this moment, even his demeanor was completely different from before.
After a night of calm, Qin Xi regained her composure and rationality. She stayed up all night, her mind filled with many thoughts.
Yun Chen opened his eyes, shifted his position, and sat down beside her in a more normal posture, asking, "What's wrong?"
Qin Xi asked, "Where did you find the child?"
Yun Chen told her about the situation in Mianbei Kingdom: "Besides Yao Yao, there were ninety-nine other children from Xia Kingdom who were abducted in Mianbei Kingdom. I brought them all back."
Qin Xi listened with wide eyes and disbelief, and couldn't help but hug Xiao Yaoyao tightly.
However, Yun Chen omitted the horrific truth about cannibalism, simply telling Qin Xi that her child had been abducted there. Otherwise, such a thing would be too cruel, inhumane, and inhumane, and Qin Xi would not be able to accept it if she knew.
After Yun Chen finished speaking, Qin Xi remained silent for a long time.
Silence fell between the two.
Qin Xi had a lot to say to Yun Chen, but it was stuck in her heart, and she didn't know how to say it. She gradually felt that after three years apart, she and Yun Chen had become people from two different worlds.
Once a loving and inseparable couple, now it seems as if an invisible barrier has appeared between them.
Especially knowing that Yun Chen had become a cultivator.
This dreamlike thing really happened.
From then on, will the two of them no longer be from the same world, and will they gradually drift apart?
She was sensitive, and the thought of these things made her feel sad.
Yun Chen noticed what she was thinking, reached out and hugged her, and habitually touched her face: "Don't overthink it."
He looked intently into his wife's eyes, which, just as they had been three years ago, remained clear and beautiful, though now held a more complex expression.
Yun Chen knew what she was worried about, of course. He spread his fingers and a glowing pill appeared in his palm. The light was soft, like some kind of spiritual pearl. It did not touch his palm at all, but just floated in his palm, shining brightly.
This scene was sci-fi, magical, and dreamlike. Qin Xi stared in disbelief, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Yun Chen explained to her earnestly, "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. After taking it, you can cleanse your marrow and change your meridians, allowing your body to be purified and your constitution to change. Like me, you can embark on the journey of cultivation. Would you like to join me?"
Qin Xi was thinking. Looking at Yun Chen's serious eyes, she naturally no longer doubted the truthfulness of Yun Chen's words.
From her perspective, she was simply contemplating whether she should truly break free from the mundane and embark on a completely new path of cultivation. After all, the worldview of ordinary people that she had built up over the past twenty years had been shattered in the last two days.
She couldn't adjust to it right away.
Seeing this, Yun Chen said seriously, "I won't force you. Think it over carefully first. I came back at all costs just to return to your side and live an ordinary life. Letting you cultivate immortality is just to give you a healthy and perfect body."
He added, "Of course, now that I'm back, I won't let anyone hurt you or our family anymore. I have the ability to protect you and won't let you suffer any injustice!"
Qin Xi nodded and asked, "Then can you tell me what the world you went to during those three years you disappeared was like?"
Yun Chen nodded, looking serious, and began to tell her about his experiences fighting in the cultivation world for three thousand years. Every event he encountered was thrilling, and he brushed with death every time. In the end, he stepped over the corpses of countless powerful figures before becoming an Immortal Emperor.
For him, it was a very long period of time, like a dream. Only the various supernatural abilities he now possesses remind him that it was all real.
He chose to return because he had a deep-seated desire. Even after becoming the Immortal Emperor, he always wanted to return to his hometown and be with his wife and unborn child.
He was living such a happy and fulfilling life on Earth, with a successful career, a happy family, and his child about to be born. Everything was going well and on track. But then he was inexplicably sent to the world of cultivation. This was the greatest punishment and torment for him.
Qin Xi's eyes reddened as she listened, both shocked and heartbroken. For an ordinary person, this kind of thing would be absolutely terrifying.
She looked at Yun Chen, her eyes becoming very serious: "I do!"
Looking at the pill in Yun Chen's hand, which was only the size of a thumb but shone brightly like a spiritual pearl, she took it without hesitation and swallowed it directly.
After swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the effects of the medicine quickly took hold. Qin Xi felt her entire body heating up from the inside out, as if something deep inside her body was burning. Her skin surface glowed with a visible light, bright and clear. Her entire body was undergoing a transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a lot of dead skin peeled off automatically.
Furthermore, her body seemed to be sweating, as if something was being expelled from every pore, accompanied by an unimaginable stench that permeated the entire room.
Yun Chen opened the window, swept his sleeves sharply, and blew the stench that filled the room out of the window.
The smell was so strong, it was pungent.
Qin Xi couldn't take it anymore. She felt extremely uncomfortable all over, so she quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom, frantically rubbing her body. When she saw the black substance oozing from her pores and applying it to her skin, she was dumbfounded. Was this the impurity in her body?
How can there be so many? How can it smell so foul!
"vomit!!"
The entire bathroom was filled with a pungent stench, so strong that it seemed impossible to dissipate. Qin Xi coughed, almost fainting from the stench, and leaned against the wall, gagging and nearly vomiting.
This is a physical baptism, reshaping one's innate talents and physical attributes.
After undergoing marrow cleansing, the body is filled with extraordinary energy and spirit, and can sense the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, perceive many phenomena that ordinary people cannot perceive, and connect with the spirit of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Qin Xi felt her body burning hot, as if a furnace was burning inside her, and her body was burning from the inside out, undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Furthermore, she felt an unprecedented comfort throughout her body, her body became very light, and she had a feeling of rapid ascent, as if she were about to fly to heaven. Her head was dizzy, and she felt so comfortable that she was about to faint.
