The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife

However, before he could descend in mid-air, he suddenly felt an icy restraining force enveloping his body.

In the next instant, a flash of red light filled his vision, and a searing pain like being slashed tore through his skin. The force threw him right out of the doorway.

Everyone watched as Xi Yue calmly took the patient’s pulse at the desk and showed no reaction. With a composed demeanor, she continued to jot down her notes.

Before him stood a masked youth in a crimson robe, his cold gaze sweeping over Mei Shuhai and the other disciple. “Will you leave on your own, or should I throw you out myself?”

Under the piercing gaze of those cold eyes, Mei Shuhai felt a chilling dread shoot up his spine, leaving him frozen in place. Beads of sweat slowly formed and trickled down his forehead.

In the end, he could only say tremblingly, “Just you wait, Xi Yue. I’m going to put your clinic out of business.”

Just as Xi Weizhi shot Mei Shuhai a gaze that was almost mocking, the latter fled in a panic, stumbling away in disgrace.

Xi Yue frowned slightly before resuming her examination of the patient, though a hint of worry lingered in her heart.

Dr. Mei seems to be from the Heavenly Medicine Valley as well. What is he really up to by coming here? Could it be that the Heavenly Medicine Valley holds a grudge against me because of Mrs. Bai’s situation, rather than approaching with good intentions?

However, Dr. Mei’s parting words made Xi Yue decide to stay out of the Spirit Refining Domain for the time being. She wasn’t concerned about herself, but she wanted to be prepared in case he came back for revenge—she couldn’t risk putting the Anling Family in danger.

Little did Xi Yue know that just as she decided to stay out of the Spirit Refining Domain, the influence of the pills she had sold was finally starting to take hold.

…

Su Lian was deeply frustrated that day.

After months of effort, he had finally gathered enough crystals to buy some spirit purifying pills in the Spirit Refining Domain. But despite searching thoroughly, he came up empty-handed.

The gold and fire spirit purifying pills were far more expensive than he thought. In the end, he only bought an inexplicable bottle of Five Elements Spirit Purifying Pill at a small stall.

Su Lian was an independent cultivator with no affiliation to any sect, currently possessing only a Golden Core Stage cultivation.

He possessed dual-elemental spiritual roots of gold and fire, but they were highly impure. Almost every time his spiritual roots were assessed, he was told that with his aptitude, reaching the Golden Core Stage was already his limit, and there was no point in continuing to cultivate.

Yet, Su Lian never gave up. He spent all his earnings on spirit purifying pills, hoping to cleanse the impurities in his spiritual roots. But time and again, all he found was disappointment.

These past few months had been his last-ditch effort.

With the recruitment day for outer disciples at the Tianwu Sect—the third largest sect in the Jinhua Realm—approaching tomorrow, he hoped to buy enough spirit purifying pills to help him pass the test.

In the end, he managed to buy only a single bottle of Five Elements Spirit Purifying Pills. After taking them, Su Lian felt no change in his body, leaving him deeply frustrated and nearly ready to give up hope.

If it weren’t for his good friend Hong Quankun dragging him to the test, he would have given up on this opportunity altogether.

At the spiritual roots testing site, many people cast disdainful looks at the two of them.

“Look, those fools are back again! They even tried out for Huayang Sect’s outer disciples last time, and guess what… The examiner straight up told them, ‘With talent like yours, reaching the Golden Core stage is your limit. Why would Huayang Sect accept someone with no potential for further advancement?’ Hahaha, I can’t stop laughing!” Ř�
