Chapter 373: Embraced on Both Sides

"The power of the Pill Lightning from an eighth-tier pill is truly terrifying. Even some Dou Venerate experts wouldn't be able to withstand such force." Venerable Tian Huo exclaimed as he observed the gradually dissipating Pill Lightning.

Pills of this tier were not something ordinary people could refine. Even during his two years in the Pill Tower, he had never witnessed the birth of a five-colored pill.

After the Pill Lightning dissipated, Xiao Ming waved his hand and stored the Sky Demon Puppet in his storage ring. With a flick of his finger, the cauldron lid automatically opened, and a dazzling rainbow shot out like lightning!

Just as it attempted to escape into the distance, Xiao Ming's palm grabbed it, restraining it with an invisible force. He then drew it into his palm and placed it into the jade bottle before surveying his surroundings.

With a slight frown, Xiao Ming sensed several hidden auras around him. The appearance of an eighth-tier pill had caused a significant commotion, and it seemed that these people had been drawn here by the pill's extraordinary display.

Upon their arrival, they had concealed themselves in the shadows, leaving their intentions uncertain.

"Hmph!"

Venerable Tian Huo snorted coldly, emitting an invisible wave that spread towards the dark forest, carrying a stifling aura.

With the strength of Venerable Tian Huo and the others, it was natural for them to detect these people. However, the strength of these individuals posed no threat to them, so they didn't pay much attention to them.

These people were merely lurking in the shadows, and they had been warned by Xiao Yi Xian and the others before.

"Forget it, let's go. They're just a bunch of rats," Xiao Ming said, and he lightly stomped on the Red Dragon Claw Eagle beneath his feet. In response to his command, the eagle vigorously flapped its wings, stirring up gusts of wind, and swiftly ascended into the blue sky.

...

Above the blue sky, Xiao Ming had put the previous events behind him. At this moment, he handed the Heaven Fusion Pill he had just refined to Medusa.

Medusa received the pill from Xiao Ming, initially showing extreme joy on her face. However, a slight expression of concern soon crossed her features.

"Isn't this Heaven Fusion Pill too high-tier?" she asked.

Eighth-tier pills were known for their strong medicinal power, and she worried that the potent effects might unintentionally affect her unborn child. That was also the reason she had asked Xiao Ming to refine a seventh-tier pill earlier.

"Don't worry. Although the Heaven Fusion Pill is classified as an eighth-tier pill, its medicinal effects are actually very mild. It won't harm the fetus. Moreover, the medicinal power contained within will be stored in your body and gradually transferred to the fetus. During this process, not only will the constitution of the fetus improve, but you will also benefit from it," Xiao Ming reassured her with a smile.

As a Master Alchemist, Xiao Ming was well aware of the impact of medicinal properties on the human body, something even low-tier alchemists would consider. Naturally, he wouldn't overlook such important considerations.

In fact, the Heaven Fusion Pill before them was just the preliminary foundation-building preparation. Once the other prepared pills were refined, the fetus in Medusa's womb would undoubtedly reach a perfect foundation-building stage.

Seeing Xiao Ming's thorough consideration, a smile once again appeared on Medusa's face. She gently touched her belly, and on her stunning and alluring face, a touch of maternal love could be seen.

Beside them, Xiao Yi Xian listened attentively and instinctively glanced at Medusa's belly, a trace of longing appearing in her eyes.

Xiao Ming noticed Xiao Yi Xian's glance and understood her thoughts from her expression.

Initially, Xiao Yi Xian's inability to conceive was due to the fact that the Woeful Poison Body had not been fully resolved. But now, it was she who was taking her own precautions for fear of causing trouble to him.

Xiao Ming didn't want to keep her waiting any longer. In fact, he no longer thought it necessary for her to take precautions against pregnancy. That was because the higher the cultivation level of both parties, the harder it was to conceive.

On the plus side, having a high cultivation level would ensure them a highly talented child, but Xiao Ming wasn't too concerned about this. Wasn't it merely a matter of nurturing their children if they lacked talent? Moreover, by the time he reached the Dou God Realm, his children would be the ones who would benefit the most.

Therefore, they should just let nature take its course from now on.

After considering all of this, Xiao Ming said to Medusa, "You can swallow the pill now."

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Medusa snapped out of her thoughts, nodded, and swallowed the pill directly.

As the pill entered her body, it transformed into a gentle radiance that slid through it and settled in her lower abdomen. The light gradually diffused, and Medusa began to feel a bit tired.

"This is the initial release of the medicinal power. You can rest for a while," Xiao Ming said with a gentle smile.

Medusa looked around and didn't find a place to rest on the back of the Dragon Claw Red Eagle.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming took out a cushion and placed it on the eagle's back, motioning for Medusa to lean against him and rest.

Medusa's delicate body trembled slightly, but she did not refuse. She moved closer and slowly fell into his embrace, letting her cold, lovely cheeks be replaced by a rare blush.

Seeing that Medusa was slowly slumbering in her embrace, Xiao Ming then beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian, who had been watching him all along.

Xiao Yi Xian first gave a slight glance at Medusa in Xiao Ming's embrace and then, with a smile on her delicate face, she quickly dove into his embrace as well.

She may appear cold on the outside, but she was a sweet young lady on the inside. The words she had spoken to warn Medusa more than a year ago were only because of Medusa's erratic persona. After all, she wasn't Xiao Ming and didn't have the same understanding of Medusa's character and personality.

However, during this time, Medusa had mellowed, and her character, as well as her own inner thoughts, had become clearer in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. Although it couldn't be said that they now got along particularly well, there was no problem in coexisting harmoniously.

In this way, Xiao Ming found himself embraced on both sides.

As for Venerable Tian Huo, he had long been sensible enough to take control of the Dragon Claw Red Eagle's head and steer the direction.

...

Half a month later, in Holy Pill City.

Xiao Ming and his group left the crowded streets and returned to their residence. As they settled down in the hall, a woman in a light blue dress entered. The woman possessed an exquisite beauty that was hard to ignore. Her lovely well-proportioned body, under her clothes, revealed an alluring curve that caused one to be attracted. However, there was a subtle air of aloofness surrounding her, creating a sense of distance that left others longing for more. Her demeanor exuded an icy indifference that made it clear she was not easily approachable. Men found it incredibly challenging to capture her attention, and those lacking confidence could only admire her from afar, not daring to make any advances.

Upon entering the hall, the woman's initial aloofness vanished instantly as her gaze fell upon Xiao Ming. A look of joy replaced her indifference, and she quickly walked over.

"Elder Xiao Ming, you're back!" she exclaimed.

She then turned her attention to Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa, respectfully greeting them with cupped hands.

"Xin Lan greets the Ladies."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled kindly at her while Medusa only nodded indifferently, then they both headed to their own rooms.

"Xin Lan, please have a seat," Xiao Ming gestured.

The woman approaching him was Ye Xin Lan, a disciple sent by the Ye Clan for study. Although her talent could not be considered extraordinary, it was still quite good. Coupled with her gentle and obedient nature, Xiao Ming had developed a favorable impression of her.

After Ye Xin Lan took her seat, she first inquired about Xiao Ming's journey and then asked questions regarding alchemy and cultivation.

Xiao Ming generously answered all her inquiries.

Finally, Ye Xin Lan mentioned the main purpose of her visit.

"Elder Xiao Ming, First Elder asked me to inform you that the assessment of the Five Great Clans will take place in one month."

"One month from now? I understand. I will attend at that time," Xiao Ming replied.

The assessment of the Five Great Clans was a walk in the park for Xiao Ming, with no difficulty whatsoever. He only needed to make a trip, which would take half a day at most. However, this meant that his breakthrough to the Dou Venerate realm would be further delayed. Nonetheless, he saw this as an opportunity to focus on advancing his soul realm, which was not a bad thing.
