Su Weiwei had spent this period of time refining pills inside the Space, and she had also brought Wuchen into the Space to cultivate on the purple spirit bed in the bedroom. Ever since she explored the alchemy room last time, she had developed a deep interest in medical arts. As a surgeon in her past life, she had some knowledge of internal medicine as well.
To refine pills, besides knowing the recipes and techniques, one also needed to recognize spiritual herbs. In the Hall of Scriptures, Su Weiwei found "The Complete Compendium of Spiritual Herbs" and "The Complete Compendium of Pill Recipes." The moment her hand touched them, the contents imprinted themselves directly into her mind—it was simply an ancient version of a photocopier. Armed with the knowledge, Su Weiwei went to the spiritual herb garden beside the Lotus Pond to identify the herbs.
Meanwhile, Wuchen was studying in the artifact-refining room, where Su Weiwei had told him he could freely choose any magical treasures and materials he liked.
"My Weiwei is so generous!" Wuchen teased.
"Of course! You will be my lifelong Dao Companion and husband from now on. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine!" Su Weiwei said, her playful face beaming with high spirits.
"Husband?" Wuchen's eyes lit up. "Weiwei, are you willing to marry me?"
"We've already bared our hearts to each other. Don't tell me the Northern Wasteland King is unwilling to marry me?" Su Weiwei glared, her hands on her hips.
Overjoyed, Wuchen stepped forward, scooped Su Weiwei up, and kissed her. His frantic heartbeat startled her, and she pushed him away, panting, "But you haven't proposed to me yet!"
"Proposed?" The bewildered Northern Wasteland King was a bit baffled.
"Aiyah! It's getting down on one knee with a ring and flowers to ask for my hand!" Su Weiwei turned her back to him.
Sudden realization dawned on Wuchen. He pulled a purple crystal storage ring out of the Space, picked a bunch of purple spirit flowers from the spiritual herb garden, and dropped to one knee before Su Weiwei. "Good Weiwei, marry me!"
The Northern Wasteland King, who possessed a hundred years of lifespan, was acting like a greenhorn, waiting with nervous anticipation for his beloved's nod. If the Four Great Protectors of the Northern Wasteland knew about this, their jaws would surely drop. Could this really be the icy, stern Northern Wasteland King?
Su Weiwei extended her finger. "Brother Wuchen, help me put it on."
Wuchen slipped the storage ring onto Su Weiwei's middle finger, kissed the back of her hand, and placed the flowers in her arms. Embracing his beloved from behind, he said, "This is a storage ring. Not only can it transmit voice to me one-on-one, but there are also many pills and Spirit Stones inside, as well as clothes. Do you like it?"
"Mm, I love it!" Su Weiwei inhaled the fragrance of the purple spirit flowers. "These purple spirit flowers are an important ingredient for the Qi-Consolidating Pill. Later, I'll use them to refine some for you."
Wuchen laughed softly. "Don't rush to make pills, Weiwei. Since you've agreed to marry me, we'll hold a grand wedding as soon as we return to the Northern Wasteland, and announce it to all corners of the world."
Su Weiwei's cheeks flushed crimson. She nodded gently, leaning against Wuchen's chest, her heart filled with sweetness. But right at that moment, the Space suddenly shook violently, and a mysterious beam of light shot from the direction of the Hall of Scriptures into the sky.
Su Weiwei and Wuchen exchanged a glance, instantly turning alert as they rushed quickly toward the Hall of Scriptures. Upon arriving, they saw an ancient book emanating a faint glow suspended in mid-air, its pages turning automatically as if recounting some secret.
Just as Su Weiwei reached out to touch it, the ancient book suddenly emitted a beam of light that enveloped her, and a powerful force surged into her mind, flooding her with countless unfamiliar pieces of information like a tidal wave.
Su Weiwei felt a splitting headache and almost passed out. Wuchen hurriedly caught her, channeling his Spiritual Power to soothe her pain. The light from the ancient book gradually faded as it slowly drifted down. Opening her eyes weakly, Su Weiwei said, "It seems I have obtained the inheritance of an ancient alchemy technique, but with this sudden change, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. The wedding matters will probably have to be put on hold for now."
Wuchen tightly clasped her hand and said firmly, "No matter what, I will stay by your side." At that very moment, the spiritual plants inside the Space began to grow wildly, and the originally tranquil Lotus Pond also churned with surging waves.
Realizing that the appearance of this inheritance had triggered an anomaly within the Space, Su Weiwei and Wuchen were suddenly ejected from the Space just as they were about to investigate.
