Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 148: Asking My Disciple for Elixirs
Chapter 148: Asking My Disciple for Elixirs
Su Qinian glanced at Tu Xinghe, who was meditating, then at Li Qingran’s retreating figure, his mind unable to settle.
“…The Patriarch is truly the Patriarch…”
He had thought Chen Huai’an would kill Tu Xinghe without hesitation.
Yet, against all expectations, Tu Xinghe not only survived but also broke through his past regrets, turning misfortune into a blessing.
Perhaps… fate was already predestined.
And the Patriarch was simply someone powerful enough to grasp fate and twist it as he pleased—shifting Tu Xinghe’s destiny in an instant.
Setting up a barrier formation around Tu Xinghe, Su Qinian stepped onto his flying sword and left.
The Patriarch’s command had seemed simple.
But executing it would be extremely difficult.
Convincing the other sect leaders—those ancient, arrogant monsters—that their own disciples had fallen to demonic corruption would be no easy feat.
Su Qinian knew exactly how prideful those old monsters were.
After all…
Even he had been guilty of the same arrogance.

Inside the small hut.
Chen Huai’an wanted to ask Li Qingran for elixirs.
But he wasn’t sure how to bring it up.
So, for now, he simply stared at his cute little disciple and pretended to be deep in thought.
[Qingran, what do you think about today’s events?]
“Master is a very gentle person,” Li Qingran propped her chin on her hands, gazing at the empty space above her head with sparkling eyes, like twinkling stars.
"Even though Master always appears cold on the outside, Qingran knows Master has a soft heart!"
Even if she couldn’t see her master, it didn’t matter.
She could picture him perfectly in her mind.
“Hmm, you’re absolutely right!”
Chen Huai’an felt amazing.
…But what Li Qingran actually heard was:
[Stop flattering me.]
Chen Huai’an cleared his throat and continued,
"So, my dear disciple, do you have any extra elixirs? Any type will do—just give them to me. I need them for an important purpose!"
There was a moment of silence.
What Li Qingran actually heard:
[I have been researching the path of alchemy, but due to being in an isolated space, I lack materials. If you could provide me with some elixirs, even if they don’t help much, I could still study their medicinal properties.]
Li Qingran blinked and believed him completely.
Without hesitation, she took out all the elixirs she had and placed them on the table.
“Master, take whatever you need.”
Her heart swelled with admiration.
As expected of Master!
Even after fighting a great demon and suffering a terrible affliction, he still has the energy to study alchemy?!
No wonder he’s so powerful and knowledgeable!
Compared to Master, she felt like a lazy pig.
Blushing from shame, Li Qingran clenched her fists and made a decision—
Starting today, she would only sleep two hours a day and spend all her time cultivating!
Chen Huai’an stared at the pile of elixirs on the table.
Most of them he could take with him.
However, some had restrictions:
Some displayed “Exclusive to Li Qingran”—most likely elixirs given through the Monthly Card and Battle Pass system, like healing pills and Spiritual Qi recovery pills.
Some showed “Unavailable at Current Realm”—these were breakthrough elixirs, like Foundation Establishment Pills, which required him to reach Qi Refinement Peak first.
Still, he wasn’t picky.
What was here was enough to experiment with.
Chen Huai’an took one or two pills from each type, leaving the rest untouched.
He needed to test them first.
If any elixir helped with his cancer, he would only ask for that one in the future.
"Qingran, these are excellent. I’ll take some to study and use."
Li Qingran looked at the basic elixirs on the table and felt embarrassed.
Her Master was such a powerful being—
How could he possibly need these low-grade pills?

He was obviously just taking them for her sake.
If he truly needed them, he would have taken all of them.
Li Qingran straightened her back, bit her lip, and whispered:
"Master, I will work hard to cultivate and improve my alchemy skills so that I can refine even better elixirs for you in the future!"
She had originally planned to just buy better pills, but…
That would make her seem useless.
The Spirit Stones she had all came from Master. Using Master’s own Spirit Stones to buy pills for Master would be too shameful.
The thought alone made her cringe.
[Good!]

Chen Huai’an logged out.
He stared at the four elixirs in front of him, his eyes shining.
Superior-Grade Great Rejuvenation Pill (Heals injuries—probably useless for cancer.)
Superior-Grade Qi Cyclone Pill (Enhances Spiritual Qi absorption—possibly useful.)
Superior-Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill (Purifies body—maybe helpful.)
Superior-Grade Detoxification Pill (Neutralizes toxins—potentially helpful.)
He was betting on either the Qi Cyclone Pill or the Detoxification Pill.
If he could increase his cultivation, maybe he could suppress or expel the demonic cancer cells.
If the Detoxification Pill worked, it could directly cure him.
First test: Qi Cyclone Pill.
Chen Huai’an popped the pill, washing it down with water.
Immediately, he felt Spiritual Qi rapidly gathering around him, seeping into his body.
Even his Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid seemed to amplify the effect, making the Qi absorption even stronger.
Normally, he couldn’t even sense Spiritual Qi properly, but now, he felt completely immersed in it.
Wasting no time, he sat down to cultivate his Tideborn Technique.
Two hours later, the pill’s effects faded.
Chen Huai’an grabbed his phone to check his cultivation progress.
No change.
…Then, a notification popped up.
[Your remaining lifespan: 32 days.]
Chen Huai’an: “???”
Something felt off.
Wait…
How many days did he have before?
37 days?
Had he just lost five days of his lifespan?
Wait. Could it be…?
Maybe it was the Qi Cyclone Pill?
No way. There was no record of this pill shortening lifespans.
Better test it again.
Chen Huai’an took another Qi Cyclone Pill and cultivated for another two hours.
Checking his phone again—
Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Stage 2!
New notification:
[Your remaining lifespan: 28 days.]
Chen Huai’an froze.
His mind went blank.
Then, suddenly—
"YOU SON OF A—!!!"
