Determining the Cause of the Illness

Time flies like an arrow!

Zhang Xuezhou rarely showed such sentimentality.

In his life, strength is important, and so is cultivation, but cultivation does not occupy his entire life.

For the first time, he felt that he had been cultivating for a little too long.

Of course, this monotonous life must continue.

In reality, he has achieved a minor success in the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique, but in another world, he has yet to master the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique to the seventh revolution.

It wasn't that Zhang Xuezhou was deliberately dawdling and not cultivating; rather, he had taken one hundred and thirty Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill."

A normal cultivator could be kept alive with just one "Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill," but this was a dose he'd taken to keep alive 130 times.

The excessive dosage made it difficult for his body to absorb the medication rapidly, forcing Zhang Xuezhou to use this time back in the real world to make adjustments.

This will not only restore his body to normal, but also allow him to nourish and moisturize his physical body by upgrading the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique to the fifth level.

"Dongfang Shuo, what's wrong with your family...?"

Zhang Xuezhou rolled over and was about to reach into his Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag to take out the medicine when, without thinking twice, he immediately pushed himself into the sixth stage. Just then, he heard Chunyu Tiying's complaining voice.

What happened to my family?

Zhang Xuezhou glanced around and saw Chunyu Tiying holding a fluffy little baby in her arms.

"Is this my child? He's only this small since he was born?"

Zhang Xuezhou leaped under the bed and leaned closer to Chunyu Tiying, looking at the little boy wrapped in cloth.

Although he had thought about it many times, Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that the meeting would be like this.

If I'm not mistaken, this is his and A-Qiao's child.

He touched the Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag, and for a moment he thought of giving it as a gift, but then he realized that this behavior seemed inappropriate, so he stopped himself.

"You're lucky you managed to get both me and Elder Zheng here," Chunyu Tiying said. "Your child was born prematurely, but thankfully, his life has been saved!"

"How could she be premature?" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise. "I've seen A-Qiao; she doesn't show any signs of premature labor!"

"Who knows how you two get along? With such a big belly, you still want to have sex? It's a sin!"

Chunyu Tiying made a comment, which left Zhang Xuezhou speechless for a moment.

He told Aqiao a lot about the pregnancy, but he never imagined that Aqiao would be this serious and responsible.

In short, they chose the right doctor.

He swayed his body, only to find that his Law Power was slightly fluctuating, but had not changed at all. He immediately knew that A Qiao had given birth not long after he forced himself on her.

"I have my reasons!"

Zhang Xuezhou retorted stubbornly, then patted the little boy Chunyu Tiying was holding.

"This little guy showed up early, and he can't stand the wind now; he'd be easily blown over," Chunyu Tiying said. "It's not easy for you to have a son at your age; don't be careless and let him die!"

"You're not even married yet, and you're already having a tough time!"

Chunyu Tiying had a sharp tongue, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind. He poked the little boy's mouth to check his teeth, which made Chunyu Tiying retort again, mentioning that his fingers were unhygienic.

"I'm clean, my body is clean from head to toe!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked sullen and deliberately used the Dust Avoidance Instruction sweep away the dust from his body.

However, he wasn't sure if the Dust Avoidance Instruction could remove the bacteria, so he didn't dare to touch anything recklessly for a while.

Looks like I need to brush up on my knowledge!

Zhang Xuezhou considered modern methods of childcare and the conditions here, realizing that caring for such a fragile little life would inevitably involve a lot of trouble.

"Do you Medical School have any Pill Formula to protect children's lives? I'll go and refine them..."

"Get out of here! Who's thinking of giving their baby medicine just a few days after birth? Don't you have any medical common sense at all?!"

Zhang Xuezhou has always been the one to laugh at others for lacking common sense, but when he himself gets criticized, Zhang Xuezhou can only accept it.

"If you're so willing, go to the city and find a wet nurse with plenty of milk," Chunyu Tiying said disdainfully. "Your wife is too light; even if you squeeze her dry, she won't produce much milk. The child might starve to death!"

"I'll go find it!"

Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed.

His emotions were undoubtedly somewhat complex. On one hand, it was not he who was Body Control sensations at that time, but rather the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

On the other hand, there is a genetic connection between the child and him, and there is indeed an inseparable relationship.

Although there were some complicated factors involved, Zhang Xuezhou was overjoyed and felt that cultivating the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique was no longer so important.

He rushed out of the gatehouse, prompting Chunyu Tiying was sheltering from the wind and announcing the good news inside, to grumble a few more times.

"Lord Dongfang, congratulations!"

"Old Zheng, is my wife alright?"

Stepping out of the side room, you can see A-Qiao's room where she is about to give birth, while Zheng Wukong is sitting at the door basking in the sun.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou, Zheng Wukong first offered his congratulations with a cupped-hand salute, then waved to Zhang Xuezhou.

"Your wife is in good health. She's young and has plenty of energy; she'll be able to get out of bed again after a few more days of rest!"

When Zhang Xuezhou approached, Zheng Wukong nodded in response to the question, and then couldn't help but look at Zhang Xuezhou with curiosity.

"I heard from your wife that you are under a spell, and that you need a pure Yin body to break it?" Zheng Wukong asked.

"That's true," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "With A Qiao's help, I can now use about 20% of my Law Power. I'm afraid it will take some more time to break free of these bonds!"

"But seductive arts cannot be countered by a woman of pure yin," Zheng Wukong retorted in surprise.

"Since Li Shang from the King of Huainan's Household said so, I'll do it that way too," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "Whether it's the right solution or not is no longer important. After all, my health has indeed improved with this medical treatment. Once Aqiao is fully recovered, I estimate that after another six months of sleeping together, I'll be rid of my illness!"

"Well... if your patient can only resolve their illness through sexual intercourse with a woman of pure yin constitution, then I suggest you make some preparations," Zheng Wukong.

What preparations?

"Women with a pure Yin body are born with a lingering Yin Qi from their previous life, giving their bodies a soft and alluring quality. However, continuous sexual activity will deplete this pure Yin energy, and after giving birth, they will become completely like ordinary people. If you insist on using this method to treat your illness, you'll have to find someone else!"

"What?"

Zhang Xuezhou initially thought finding a wet nurse would be a bit troublesome, but after listening to Zheng Wukong's words, he truly felt the trouble.

He could go out on the street and shout for a wet nurse at a high price, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't go out on the street and shout that a woman was of pure yin and wanted to come and have sex with him.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

After pacing back and forth more than ten times, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the situation was thorny.

"Old Zheng, what should I do?" Zhang Xuezhou said, "I can't survive with only 20% of my Law Power. This illness needs to be cured!"

Your illness is very strange!

Zheng Wukong glanced at Zhang Xuezhou. In all his years of medical practice, he had never heard of any cultivator who had been affected by a charm spell, causing their magical Law Power to stagnate and become difficult to circulate.

Zhang Xuezhou's symptoms make no sense at all; it's more like his body's yang energy is so excessive that it's difficult to suppress, thus requiring external medicine to balance yin and yang.

He conducted diagnostic methods including observation, auscultation and olfaction, palpation, and finally, inquiry. The more he learned, the more incredible it seemed.

"Did you take the wrong powerful medicine? For example, did you take some top-grade medicinal herbs like Duyang, Epimedium, Cistanche, or Cynomorium?"

Zheng Wukong for a long time before asking a question uncertainly.

It would be extremely difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to achieve the same effect by taking the wrong medicine, but since Zhang Xuezhou could casually produce Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, it was entirely possible that he had access to some medicinal herbs that Zheng Wukong had only heard of in rumors.

Others might not be able to do this, but Zhang Xuezhou certainly might.

He made a guess, which actually revealed the true cause of Zhang Xuezhou's illness.
