During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was the most prosperous and prosperous place. There was a Lu Yuanwai in Sanyang County who was wealthy. There was a woman in his family, whose name was Liu Niang, and she looked beautiful and enchanting. She was sixteen years old.

This morning, a Taoist priest came to the village and walked around the village a few times, and finally chose Chen Xiucai's house in the east of the village. The Taoist priest told Chen Xiucai's father that he wanted to refine pills, this is a good place, please make it convenient. Chen Xiucai's father readily agreed. The Taoist priest set up a shed in a corner of the yard, set up a pill furnace, and made a dojo.

Listening to Xin'er, Elder Lu rushed over and asked the Taoist priest, "You said this is a good place, isn't my family not good?" The Taoist priest saluted and said slowly, "The poor dao wants to practice pills, and only choose places with pure yang energy. Your mansion is poor." Hearing this, Elder Lu could only stare at him. Because he had no sons, only a sixth aunt and one daughter were under his knees, and there were many men and women in the whole mansion. Naturally, there was too much yin energy and insufficient yang energy, and what people said was not bad. He rolled his eyes and then asked, "What kind of pills are you refining? You still need pure yang energy!" The Taoist priest smiled slightly and calmly said, "The pills refined by the poor Dao are soul-hooking pills." When Elder Lu Wai heard this, he was even more surprised. Today's Emperor is most obsessed with alchemy, the so-called efficiency of the line, the common people are also very fascinated by this pill. Lu Yuanwai has also seen some Taoist alchemy, buthemy is nothing more than an immortal pill that can make people live forever, but he has never heard of the Soul Reflecting Pill. He is not so surprised that he is busy asking him what is going on. The Taoist was too lazy to tell him, shook his head, and said with a smile, "The members have passed the age of love between men and women, so don't inquire about these things." Lu Yuanwai made a big red face, and felt that his face could not come up, so he said unhappily: "The Taoist master is like this, but it may not be the right way!" The Taoist priest still said without humility or arrogance: "The marriage of jade, the world is beautiful, it may not be the right way." Lu Yuanwai said fiercely: "I want to see how capable you are!" After saying that, he left angrily.

Chen Xiucai listened from the side and was slightly stunned. When Lu Yuanwai left, he secretly asked, "Daoist Priest, what is the Soul Reflection Pill?" The Taoist priest put his mouth close to his ear and whispered to him, "That Soul Reflection Pill is specially selected for unmarried men. If you like any woman, her family will not allow it. If you take the Soul Reflection Pill, she will immediately fall in love with you, and use it to form a jade marriage to solve the pain of lovesickness between men and women." Chen Xiucai was shocked and said, "What Daoist Priest said is true?" The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "If you believe it, you will be spiritual, but if you don't believe it, it will not be spiritual."

Chen Xiucai asked him again, what do you need to refine this elixir. The Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said that your mileage may vary, but it cannot be passed on. Chen Xiucai leaned into his ear and whispered, he needs such an elixir. The Taoist priest was immediately happy and asked him which woman he liked. Chen Xiucai said he liked Lu Yuanwai's sixth mother and asked a matchmaker to ask for marriage, but Lu Yuanwai refused. The Taoist priest calculated that it would cost 20 taels of silver, and he was going to buy medicine. Chen Xiucai was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, he went to raise money.

The next day, Liu Niang got up, pushed open the window, and saw a Taoist priest sitting outside the embroidery building, so he couldn't help but scream. Lu Yuanwai rushed over when he saw the Taoist priest and asked angrily, "You are sneaky, what are you doing here?" The Taoist priest said that someone had taken a fancy to his Sixth Niang and asked him to practice the Soul Reducing Pill. He had to collect some Yin Qi from Sixth Niang first, so that the Soul Reducing Pill could work. Lu Yuanwai glared at him fiercely, and it was hard to say anything, so he closed the window and let Sixth Niang leave the embroidery building. But the Taoist priest still sat outside the embroidery building, closing his eyes slightly, absorbing Sixth Niang's Yin Qi. It wasn't until the sun rose three poles that the Taoist priest got up and returned to Chen Xiucai's house. He told Chen Xiucai that Liu Niang's yin energy had been exhausted, and he was going to buy medicinal materials, and he could open the furnace for alchemy in a few days. Chen Xiucai heard it, and naturally his eyebrows were elated.

In just a few days, the Taoist priest bought back the medicinal materials, which were all strange things, put them into the furnace, and the fire started below. The firewood for the fire is also the root of the Centennial Spirit Tree, which is very resistant to burning, and the fire is very hard. It has been refined for seventy-seven or forty-nine days. On this day, the Taoist priest called Chen Xiucai to the furnace, and saw a golden thread looming by the furnace. The Taoist said: "The spirituality of the Soul Reflection Pill is that it can absorb her qi and transmit your heart. Now, her qi has been condensed in the pill. As long as you speak your mind, you can inhale it into the pill. In the future, you can take it, so that your hearts can be connected and you can form a marriage. Just kneel here and say it. Remember, don't step back, otherwise, you won't be able to inhale the medicinal pills. "After explaining, the Taoist priest went out.

After two hours, the Taoist priest returned to the alchemy furnace, saw Chen Xiucai, and suddenly said in shock, "Why didn't you listen to me?" Chen Xiucai was also shocked: "Why didn't I listen to you? I've been kneeling here, telling Sixth Aunt my thoughts." The Taoist priest glared at him fiercely, and when he got to the furnace, he heard a strange sound coming from the furnace. He sighed heavily and said, "You can deceive me, but you can't deceive the elixir in this furnace. Just because you are not sincere, this elixir will melt." Chen Xiucai said in surprise, "How can I remedy it?" He said then, he knelt by the furnace, telling Sixth Aunt his thoughts. However, the fire was so intense that the stove was burning hot. He could not stand the roast and almost fainted. He then retreated a bit.

The Taoist priest thought for a while and said, "If you want to remedy it, the only way is to add blood. Your heart for Sixth Aunt is all condensed in your bloodline, and if you refine the blood in the immortal pill, the immortal pill will be more effective." Chen Xiucai had no choice but to respond. The Taoist opened a piece of yellow paper, asked Chen Xiucai to prick his finger, drip the blood on the yellow paper, and put the yellow paper into the pill furnace. But there was another abnormal sound in the furnace. Chen Xiucai asked in surprise, "Is it still not okay?" The Taoist priest closed his eyes and calculated for a while, saying that Chen Xiucai had too little yang energy, and it was difficult to complete the immortal pill, and he still needed to find someone to cooperate with the refine. He had already calculated that there was a descendant surnamed Yu in the village, who was strong and fit the eight characters of Chen Xiucai, and was about to borrow his yang energy. Chen Xiucai blurted out: "You're talking about Yu Huan. I'll call him over now!"

After a short while, Chen Xiucai called Yu Huan. The Taoist priest looked at him calmly, then explained the ins and outs of the matter, and asked him if he would like to shed some blood so that he could continue with Chen Xiucai's soul-hooking pill. Yu Huan said naively, he was very willing. The Taoist priest asked him to kneel in front of the stove and prayerfully said that he wished Chen Xiucai and Liuniang a good relationship for a hundred years, and then took the knife and cut his finger. The Taoist priest suddenly shouted, "Wait!" Yu Huan was stunned: "What?" The Taoist priest took the yellow watch paper, wiped it at the corner of Yu Huan's eyes, and dipped it in a lot of tears, and the yellow watch paper was wet. The Taoist priest said: "As the saying goes, a man will not cry lightly. With a prick, blood can flow out, but tears are not necessarily. These tears are the purest thing of the sun, and their effect is much stronger than blood. I only asked you for blood because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to squeeze out tears. Since you shed tears, you don't need blood. "He put the wet yellow paper into the stove and knelt aside to pray.

After more than two hours, the Taoist priest stopped praying and said, "If there is no accident, it should be done." He burned incense and prayed again, then solemnly put out the fire, opened the lid, and took out three elixirs from the furnace. The three elixirs were the size of fava beans, gray-white, and looked very radiant. The Taoist priest said joyfully, "The soul-hooking pill has finally been refined! You are about to take it, and see the effect." Chen Xiucai was about to take it joyfully, but suddenly rushed over a person from outside, pushed him away, snatched the elixir, and ran away. Chen Xiucai stumbled, almost fell, and finally stopped, but for a while he was stunned. Yu Huan shouted and chased after him. Chen Xiucai reacted and chased after him.

Lu San snatched three elixirs from the village and said as he ran, "Yu Huan, stop chasing me. When I become the son-in-law of Lu Yuanwai's family, I will give you 20 acres of good land for free!" Yu Huan shouted as he chased, "Be your dream of spring and autumn! Even if you eat the soul-catching elixir, Liu Niang will not look down on you. Even if she follows you, she will suffer. Quickly return the elixir to Chen Xiucai and let them be good!"

Lu San ran fast, but Yu Huan was ruthless, running for his life, much faster than him, and in no time he chased after him. Just as he was about to reach out and grab his neck collar, Lu San suddenly turned around, pulled out a dagger that shone with cold light from his sleeve, and said angrily, "If you take another step forward, I will kill you!" Yu Huan did not care and rushed at him. Lu San was really ruthless, and he straightened his dagger and stabbed Yu Huan. Yu Huan only felt a pain in his chest, knowing that he was going to be finished, but he still grabbed Lu San with all his strength: "I can't let you eat the Soul Reflecting Pill, and I can't let Sixth Aunt suffer with you!" Lu San asked him: "You like Sixth Aunt so much, why don't you marry her?" Yu Huan rolled his eyes at him and said: "My family is useless, we can't let her live a good life, why do we want to block her?" Lu San said with a smile: "Hey, my uncle really didn't see the wrong person. Okay, you can't die, let me go, I'm almost strangled."

Yu Huan looked at his chest doubtfully, and sure enough, it wasn't hurt. Looking at what Lu San was holding in his hand, it turned out to be a dagger made of wood, painted silver on the outside, and looked like the real thing. It was broken by him just now, no wonder he felt pain. He turned his head to look again, but saw that Lu Yuanwai was looking at him with a smile, and was stunned for a while.

Lu San punched him and said, "What are you doing stupid? My uncle has already agreed to your marriage. Aren't you going to meet your relatives soon?" Yu Huan saw that Lu Yuanwai was smiling and nodding at him, knowing that this was acquiescence to Lu San's words, he was busy walking in front of him, but he hesitated to say, let Sixth Aunt and Chen Xiucai, Chen Xiucai have knowledge, so they can be in harmony and raise their eyebrows. Lu Yuanwai patted his shoulder and said, "Character is the most important thing." Yu Huan quickly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen uncle." Here, they call their future father-in-law uncle.

Later, Yu Huan found out that the Taoist priest came to the village to refine the Soul-Reducing Pill, which was a play made up by Lu Yuanwai. Lu Yuanwai was rich, so he naturally did not lack money. He had no children and had only a daughter from Sixth Aunt, so he naturally wanted her to marry a loyal, honest and reliable descendant. His play was to test those suitors. As soon as the Taoist priest entered the village, he made a big splash, and the whole village knew that the Taoist priest could refine the Soul-Reducing Pill. Those suitors found the Taoist priest one after another and were willing to invest in refining the Soul-Reducing Pill. The Taoist priest asked them to tell them how much money they could pay, and then checked with Lu Yuanwai about the situation of these families, so they knew how much these people paid to Sixth Aunt.

Among these suitors, Liu Niang's favorite was Chen Xiucai. Chen Xiucai was willing to pay a lot of money, which showed that Liu Niang held a very important position in his heart, which made Lu Yuanwai very satisfied. Therefore, he first refined Chen Xiucai's Soul Reflecting Pill. When the pill was about to be completed, he tested Chen Xiucai for the second time, which was to roast it in the fire. It was to see if he was honest. Chen Xiucai didn't pass this test. At this time, the Taoist priest asked Chen Xiucai to find those suitors to help and donate blood to renew the pill, but those suitors all refused, and only Yu Huan agreed, because Yu Huan wanted to make Liu Niang happy.

When Lu San snatched the elixir, many people saw it, but only Yu Huan chased after him. Because Yu Huan had an idea that if Lu San took the elixir and became married to Sixth Aunt, Sixth Aunt would not be happy. But if others couldn't marry Sixth Aunt themselves, they just watched the jokes, and it didn't matter whether Sixth Aunt would be happy in the future.

After three rounds of testing, only Yu Huan was qualified. Therefore, Lu Yuanwai did not hesitate to marry Liu Niang to Yu Huan. Liu Niang knew Yu Huan loved him so much, and was deeply moved to love him even more. After the two got married, they really sang and followed each other, abnormal and beautiful...
