The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7266 - 7267

“Great Magical Pill?!”

The two women were instantly stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

They had only ever taken the Small Peiyuan Pill. Song Ruyu hadn’t even heard of the regular Peiyuan Pill before, let alone the Large Peiyuan Pill.

After all, Yun Ruge had been with Wu Feiyan for a long time and had heard her mention the Peiyuan Pill before. She knew its effects were far more potent than those of the Xiaopeiyuan Pill. However, she also knew that obtaining such a rare pill from Wu Feiyan was impossible.

As far as she knew, only Wu Feiyan and the three elders had ever taken the Peiyuan Pill.

But now charlie claimed that his elixir was the Da Peiyuan Pill.

Judging by the name, the Great Peiyuan Pill had to be even more powerful than the regular version.

Even the standard Peiyuan Pill was beyond what these two women ever hoped to receive—let alone the Da Peiyuan Pill, which they wouldn’t have even dared to dream of.

Seeing their astonished expressions, charlie smiled and said, “As the name implies, the Great Peiyuan Pill is stronger than the regular Peiyuan Pill. Given your current cultivation, this should be a significant boost for both of you.”

Yun Ruge and Song Ruyu were so shocked they couldn’t speak. In the Poqing Society, elixirs were the highest reward Wu Feiyan could offer. Since attaining enlightenment, Song Ruyu had only received the Xiaopeiyuan Pill a few times—and only one each time. Each time, he would kneel to express gratitude, even if he had never seen Wu Feiyan in person, bowing instead to the one delivering the pill.

Yun Ruge was slightly stronger than Song Ruyu. As a titled master, she received pills from Wu Feiyan every six months. But even then, the supply was limited—only a few Small Peiyuan Pills per year.

Occasionally, after completing major missions or making notable contributions, if Wu Feiyan was in a good mood, she might grant three to five pills. That was the most one could hope for.

But charlie was completely different from Wu Feiyan. These two had never truly worked for him, and yet he had protected them throughout, given them a peaceful and undisturbed place to cultivate—and now, he was giving them elixirs.

And not just any elixirs—these were the Great Peiyuan Pills, many times more powerful than the Small ones.

Seeing the two women still frozen in awe, charlie gave a slight smile and said, “There’s no need to be so surprised. I happen to have some skill in alchemy, and I’m not stingy with my pills. You’ve both reached enlightenment through immense effort. I hope these two pills can aid your progress.”

Yun Ruge was deeply moved and said respectfully, “Mr. Ye’s kindness to me is as immense as a mountain. I will never forget it!”

Song Ruyu’s eyes turned red as tears began to fall uncontrollably. In her short twenty years of life, she had never truly felt cared for by anyone.

Her place in the Song family had always been the result of an illegitimate birth, and her only purpose was to be used as a pawn to please the Wu family.

As for the Wu family—Wu Feiyan included—none of them ever truly cared about her.

All the Wu family cared about was how well she could serve their interests.

Looking back now, the only person who had ever genuinely cared for her… was probably charlie.

She took a deep breath to compose herself, then said through her tears, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye. I’m willing to give my life for you!”

charlie smiled and replied, “I gave you the pills to help you progress—not to make you pledge your loyalty. Let’s set those sentiments aside for now and take the pills. I’ll guide you through absorbing the spiritual energy.”

The two women exchanged a look, then nodded simultaneously and placed the pills in their mouths.

Even before ingesting them, they could feel the immense spiritual energy radiating from the pills, nearly bursting from within.

Taoist cultivators are highly attuned to spiritual energy. Yet in a world devoid of ambient energy for them to absorb, the moment they encountered these elixirs rich in spiritual power, their senses became razor-sharp.

Suppressing their inner excitement, they consumed the pills. As they dissolved, a stream of heat surged through their bodies. An overwhelming force of spiritual energy flooded their stomachs, then surged through their meridians, rushing toward the sea of consciousness in their minds.

Although they had mentally prepared for the fact that the Great Peiyuan Pill was far superior to the Small Peiyuan Pill, they were still astonished by the sheer magnitude of spiritual energy coursing through them.

The Great Peiyuan Pill was equivalent to dozens—perhaps even a hundred—Small Peiyuan Pills.

Moreover, elixirs are like medicine: if taken in small, scattered doses, their effects are significantly weakened. Altogether, the potency of the Great Peiyuan Pill equaled that of a hundred Small Peiyuan Pills.

The two of them felt like starving people who had suddenly been given a feast of rich fish and meat—more than enough to last several days. The spiritual energy within them surged, elevating their cultivation levels rapidly.

charlie channeled his own spiritual energy into their bodies to help guide and regulate the flow, and gently reminded them, “Don’t concentrate all the spiritual energy in your sea of consciousness. Now, follow my lead—mobilize it from your consciousness and use it to strengthen your meridians.”

The two of them were not yet skilled in controlling spiritual energy. Song Ruyu had very little spiritual energy within him, and what remained was stored entirely in his dantian.

Although Yun Ruge had already opened her sea of consciousness, she was hesitant to channel the spiritual energy she had gathered into her meridians, preferring to keep it in reserve within her sea of consciousness—just in case.

Now, with charlie instructing them to draw the energy from their sea of consciousness and transfer it into their meridians, both instinctively felt a pang of reluctance. Still, it was charlie’s order, and they dared not hesitate. They immediately followed his guidance, directing the spiritual energy into their meridians.

As the meridians absorbed the energy, they began to strengthen, and their flow capacity noticeably improved.

In Taoist cultivation, practitioners often overlook the importance of tempering the body and meridians, relying too heavily on spiritual energy. Yet in truth, the meridians form the foundation of cultivation—like the infrastructure of an industrialized nation. The stronger the foundation, the faster and greater the future growth.

Now, with abundant spiritual energy at their disposal for the first time, the two realized just how profoundly the meridians could be transformed by its power. The change was immediately apparent—they could feel that their bodies had undergone a dramatic transformation.

More than an hour passed. The two had used nearly half of the pill’s spiritual energy to reinforce their meridians and dantian. With these significant improvements, they noticed a clear difference: when mobilizing large amounts of energy, their now-smooth meridians allowed for much quicker response times.

At that moment, they heard charlie’s voice in their ears: “Alright, you may end your meditation now.”

They opened their eyes at the same time, and upon seeing charlie before them, excitement surged within them.

It was obvious their strength had grown tremendously. Though it was just a single pill, it had saved them two, maybe even three to five years of painstaking cultivation.

Yun Ruge ended her cross-legged posture, immediately knelt before charlie, and said with heartfelt respect, “Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your guidance!”

Song Ruyu quickly followed suit, kneeling beside Yun Ruge and earnestly echoing, “Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your help!”

charlie responded calmly, “No need for such formality. I’ll be heading out of the city in the next few days. In the meantime, both of you should focus on your cultivation here. If you need anything, speak to Hong Wu—he’ll take care of it.”
