Chapter 26

In the medical room, Gu Ming personally tested Qin Zheng’s irritability level.

The result showed that Qin Zheng’s irritability ratio was as high as 79%, with his irritability ratio and irritability value still very high, approaching the 80% safety ratio line.

But this result was already considered very good, or even excellent.

After all, Qin Zheng’s previous irritability ratio was 79.8%, just 0.2% away from breaking the safety ratio!

For a powerful double S-level Beastman like Qin Zheng, reducing the irritability ratio by 0.1% was extremely difficult, yet he had now reduced it by 0.8%!

“It actually decreased, how did you do it?” Gu Ming suddenly stepped forward, his expression excited as he looked at Chu Ning.

If Chu Ning’s expression hadn’t been wary, he would have almost reached out to her.

After all, this was his wife, and contacting his own wife was not considered unethical.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng quickly removed the instruments on himself and stood in front of Chu Ning.

“Didn’t I tell you? A’Ning happened to obtain two types of pills.” Qin Zheng’s voice carried a hint of displeasure.

What’s wrong with Xiao Ming today? He’s particularly attentive to his wife.

Hearing Qin Zheng’s tone, Gu Ming felt a little irritated in his heart.

What does Zheng Ge’s attitude mean? Chu Ning is not even his wife!

Chu Ning noticed the tense atmosphere between the two Beastmen and tugged on Qin Zheng’s sleeve, pulling him back a bit.

“The pills do exist.”

“However, the efficacy is not that great. If combined with acupuncture, the efficacy should be even better.” She said to Gu Ming.

Gu Ming’s expression relaxed.

“Then… can I take a look at your pills?” He was really curious.

Chu Ning looked at Qin Zheng.

“Give him two pills.” She spoke.

Qin Zheng then took out two bottles of pills and handed one pill each to Gu Ming under his burning gaze.

Gu Ming quickly took out two empty bottles from his spatial ring, put the pills in, and labeled them.

After finishing, he urged Qin Zheng to lie down and helped him with acupuncture.

Chu Ning watched Gu Ming perform acupuncture on Qin Zheng, and discovered that his acupuncture skills were indeed quite good.

“This set of Qi-regulating needles can help clear stagnation and assist in better absorption of the pills.”

“Given your current condition, if I try needling you, I may be able to gradually remove some of the parasitic toxins in your body and lower your irritability ratio to below 78%.”

Gu Ming’s expression turned solemn.

“The parasitic toxins are stubborn and fierce. You’ve been infected for too long, so even if the irritability can be lowered, it may be difficult to completely eradicate it in the future.”

“It’s okay, just eat a few more detox pills and marrow-cleansing pills.” Chu Ning responded.

Being at the Nascent Soul realm, even if the efficacy of these two pills is slightly weaker, they should still be effective.

Both Qin Zheng and Gu Ming were surprised.

“What are the detox pills and marrow-cleansing pills?” Gu Ming immediately looked at Chu Ning.

Again, two types of pills that do not exist in the alchemy vault. Just what kind of background does his wife have?

Qin Zheng was also very curious.

Chu Ning put her hands behind her back, looking at Gu Ming with a hint of pride.

“The detox pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that detoxifies. It’s a grade 4 pill that can detoxify hundreds of poisons. It works best on people at A-grade and below realms.”

“The marrow-cleansing pill is also a grade 4 pill. As the name implies, after taking it, it can cleanse the tendons and marrow, removing impurities from the body.”

Her gaze suddenly flickered, and Chu Ning continued, “It can also change a person’s spiritual potential.”

At these words, both Qin Zheng and Gu Ming were shocked.

The two simultaneously thought about Chu Ning’s spiritual potential level.

Previously, they had both suspected that Chu Ning’s initial spiritual potential test data was incorrect due to Chu Yan’s framing.

Now, it seems that perhaps Chu Yan didn’t frame her at all, but rather—she took the marrow-cleansing pill and raised her own spiritual potential level.

A grade 4 marrow-cleansing pill can change a person’s spiritual potential, is this really possible?

“Can you give me these two types of pills?” Gu Ming didn’t bother thinking too much, immediately looking at Chu Ning, his eyes filled with burning intensity.

As a flourishing Beastman, handsome and rugged, he stared at her directly, as if his eyes could see the person in front of him.

Chu Ning was momentarily stunned by his gaze.

Then, she quickly averted her eyes.

“No.” She responded.

“I don’t have many of those two pills on hand, and I still have things to do later, so I can’t give them to you for now.”

“But once my spiritual power reaches A-grade, I can refine a few to give you.” After all, he was her partner’s brother, so giving him a few pills was nothing.

Hearing this, Gu Ming’s eyes lit up.

At the same time, Qin Zheng, standing beside them, had a complex expression.

After that, Gu Ming started to become a chatterbox, chatting with Chu Ning.

Chu Ning didn’t really want to entertain him, but Gu Ming had some knowledge about pills, which made her involuntarily willing to hear him out.

Qin Zheng, with needles on his body, lay to the side, listening to Gu Ming chat with his wife.

Although his wife rarely responded, he still felt a bit uncomfortable about it.

He suddenly felt a little envious of Gu Ming being a doctor, knowledgeable about medicine and pills.

While he, as a warrior, could not discuss these things with his wife.

Half an hour later, under Qin Zheng’s urging, Gu Ming finally finished removing the needles from Qin Zheng.

“I’m also good at handling medicinal materials. Why don’t I stay and help Zheng Ge process the medicinal materials? While I’m at it, let me admire the style of the future Spiritual-grade Alchemist refining pills.” Suddenly, Gu Ming said.

Qin Zheng sat up immediately.

“No need.”

Both Gu Ming and Chu Ning were surprised.

This person, the needles were not even fully removed yet, and he sat up.

“Lie back down!” Chu Ning said urgently.

“What’s the rush? The needles won’t hurt your body.” Gu Ming said, pushing Qin Zheng back down onto the couch.

Qin Zheng looked embarrassed as he looked at Chu Ning.

“What I mean is, I can handle it on my own.” He spoke.

Gu Ming understood Qin Zheng’s meaning and looked at him with a displeased expression.

“Just because you can handle it on your own, does that mean I can’t stay and help?”

“The needles need to be kept in for a week. From now on, I’ll be staying at your manor.”

After saying that, Gu Ming leaned down, using the excuse of removing the needles to get close to Qin Zheng’s ear.

“Zheng Ge, I’ve been matched with Chu Ning in marriage, she is now my wife.” He said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Qin Zheng was shocked.

He looked at Gu Ming with disbelief, silently questioning if he was joking.

But Gu Ming nodded seriously.

Qin Zheng had mixed feelings, and after a moment of silence, he accepted the reality.

His wife could not possibly belong to him alone. Rather than having her live with a stranger in the future, it would be better to have a familiar person.

Gu Ming, who had known him since childhood, was both a friend and a brother. Sharing a wife with him would not be too difficult to endure.

“Then you can stay.” Qin Zheng said.

Chu Ning was somewhat surprised.

What happened? Wasn’t Qin Zheng just very against this person staying?

Although puzzled, Chu Ning didn’t ask.

Having more people to help her process the medicinal materials was a good thing.

So in the afternoon, there was one more person helping in the alchemy room.

Chu Ning continued her own great alchemy and cultivation endeavors.

Then, very soon, Gu Ming discovered something was off.

According to the information Zheng Ge had told him, his wife’s current spiritual power was at the peak of B-grade.

But even for a peak B-grade alchemist, their spiritual power would still be limited.
