114: Major Tonic 114: Major Tonic After the matter was resolved, following the retreat route Xiao Cha had planned, the two returned ho safely and enjoyed the hot water and als Wanqing had prepared.
Staring at the tal box with shining eyes, Xiao Cha exclaid, “Li Guanqi attached so much importance to this, the stuff inside must be exceptional!”
She wolfed down a bowl of rice in no ti and hurriedly searched for crowbars, pliers, and the like, making a fuss over the tal box.
The darn thing was entirely made of steel and even had two steel locks on it, robust beyond imagination.
Moreover, Xiao Cha didn’t dare to be too aggressive, afraid of damaging the treasures inside.
After working up a good sweat and bending a crowbar without opening it, she jumped in front of Lu Li for help,
“Hey, do you have any tricks or sothing?
Can you use your spirit to unlock it from the inside?”
Lu Li, engulfed in the fragrance of Calming Incense, shook his head and said, “The spirit can’t act inside objects.
I can only try to forcefully break it from the outside too.”
“Then I’ll do it myself.
Damn it, there’s no way I can’t open this!”
Xiao Cha then took out a handsaw and a chisel and embarked on the second round.
Lu Li glanced over and comnted, “You sure have a lot of tools at your place.”
“My dad used to use all this stuff to make stone locks and other things.”
Chatting away, Xiao Cha braced her foot on the tal box and started sawing.
The grating and squeaking sounds persisted until two Life Lamps of Calming Incense had burned out.
Suddenly, Xiao Cha let out a cheer, having finally sawed open the two steel locks.
Lu Li and Wanqing, also curious, gathered around, eager to see what treasures were hidden inside.
Xiao Cha first pulled out an iron tin, which upon opening yielded large leaves of tea.
The evening breeze carried the fragrance of the tea, instantly freshening everyone’s spirit.
“Spiritual Tea!” Xiao Cha quickly covered the tin to keep the aroma from escaping.
Wanqing twitched her delicate nose and analyzed, “To warm and nourish the core, it has excellent effects for body and spirit nurturing.”
“Aweso!
Let’s brew so to try in a bit~”
Xiao Cha was overjoyed, turning her attention to the remaining item, only to find yet another tal box.
“It’s not going to need sawing again…
Oh, no lock.”
She hastily opened the box, and inside were ice blocks freezing five ping pong ball-sized white insect eggs.
“These are so kind of demon beast eggs!”
Not recognizing them herself, she quickly turned to Wanqing for help.
“Pure white all over, the size of an apricot.”
As she described, she took out one of the eggs and handed it over.
Wanqing sniffed it, gently touched it, then extended her tender little tongue to lick her finger.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, as she exhaled a warm breath,
“Such potent dicinal properties!
Salty and sour in flavor, neutral in nature, acts on the liver and kidney ridians…
these are Soul-devouring Ant eggs!”
Hearing this, Xiao Cha excitedly said to Lu Li,
“These are demon beast eggs, only found in the Outer Land, and are a luxury only nobles can afford to enjoy!”
Lu Li nodded continuously, and then Wanqing added,
“Such a large size, these must be ant queen’s eggs.
Even soone in the Blood Exchange Realm could greatly benefit from these.
Xiao Cha, if you eat all five, even if you were a pig you could progress to Marrow Cleansing.”
“You’re the pig~”
Xiao Cha laughed heartily but suddenly sobered up, saying,
“Wait a minute!
How can I eat them all by myself?
We should split them equally among the three of us!”
Wanqing looked over at Lu Li before speaking,
“This thing is so strong, just licking it through my fingers was almost too much for ; it would be like taking poison for an ordinary person.”
Lu Li smiled and said, “It seems we are not fortunate enough to partake; Xiao Cha, you should eat them all.”
The items before them could raise one’s realm, bestow strength, truly priceless treasures!
Under normal circumstances, even real sisters would turn the sky upside down to fight for such treasures, yet Lu Li and Wanqing did not hesitate to let Xiao Cha have it all.
Xiao Cha was moved, yet she still felt conflicted, “That’s too extravagant…
Can it be turned into dicinal wine instead?”
Wanqing flicked her on the forehead, “This isn’t an ordinary egg, do you want to wait until the eggs hatch and eat the bugs?”
Lu Li, however, was gazing at the girl’s chest with a longing expression:
“Xiao Cha, don’t be modest, hurry up and consu it to start your ‘Marrow Cleansing’, and then feed that thing from last ti…
the salty sweet one.”
“Get lost~” Xiao Cha pinched him.
The implication was too obvious, and even Wanqing got it, her face turning red as she said:
“Young Master Lu is right, after the ‘Marrow Cleansing’ the functions of the viscera will surge, and the inner breath will be as turbulent as rivers.
It won’t be a problem then to share so with us~”
Hearing this, Xiao Cha finally nodded, “Then I’ll take your word for it and give it a try~”
She took one and chewed it in her mouth, which imdiately burst.
“Ugh, so bitter, and sour too…”
The taste was diocre, and Xiao Cha quickly swallowed it down.
The next second, her face suddenly turned bright red, extending all the way to her ears, and then two streams of white vapor shot out of her nostrils!
“Crap!
I’m also having trouble suppressing the dicinal effects!
Move aside!”
Xiao Cha rushed back into the house, took out the “White Dragon Whip” created by her father’s Divine Soul, and began to wield it in the courtyard.
The whipping wind howled and sobbed, followed by a sudden “pop” sound as the whip lashed out, creating a visible air burst.
So, Xiao Cha kept on practicing the ‘White Dragon Whip Skill’ over and over, until an hour later, when she finally began to calm down.
Just as Wanqing was about to step forward to check her pulse, Lu Li grabbed her hand, “Wait, it’s not over yet.”
Just then, Xiao Cha drew imaginary circles with both hands around her abdon, and thunderous sounds ca from inside her; then a muffled “hum” burst from her nose!
The sound was like rolling thunder, startling Wanqing, but she quickly showed a joyful expression and said:
“It’s the ‘Five Organs Chi’, ‘Refining Internal Organs’ reached ‘Small Success’!”
At that mont, Xiao Cha also exclaid with excitent, “Amazing, just one egg and I’ve crossed a minor realm!”
Wanqing stepped forward to take her pulse and said, “Now, eat one every five days and our house will soon have another ‘Master of Marrow Cleansing’.”
Xiao Cha patted her chest, “When the ti cos, I’ll feed you both inner breath!
Let you both refine your organs quickly~”
The girl’s chest was quite magnificent, at least a D-cup, but only seed slightly inferior in front of Wanqing.
Lu Li could not help but look forward to it…
But just then, footsteps ca from outside the courtyard, and the door was banged on:
“It’s bad, Luo!
There’s a fire at the bureau~ Co on, we need to go quickly~”
It was Old Zhong who ca, but this ti his voice was filled with panic.
“Coming!”
Xiao Cha and Lu Li exchanged a look, nodded to each other, and then headed out.
Back at the scene of the incident, they could gather a lot of information!
~~~~~~~~~~~
anwhile, a hundred miles south of Jinn, there stands an unremarkable little hill about a kiloter high.
Here lies the infamous, or rather fear-inducing Jiushan, where the Jiushan Sect naturally calls ho.
On this not very tall mountain, palaces and pavilions were built in abundance.
A young disciple wearing a blue Daoist robe and sporting a middle-parted hairstyle hurried to a temple at the mountain’s summit.
He bowed at the door and said, “Master, Senior Brother Li Guanqi’s ‘Life Lamp’ has been extinguished.”
The smoke from the bronze incense burner was faintly drifting as an elder also dressed in a blue Daoist robe opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled look, “Qingfeng, say it again, I wasn’t ready.”
The disciple nad Qingfeng quickly stepped back, then approached once more, saying, “Senior Brother Li’s ‘Life Lamp’ is out.”
“Ah~ Ah~” The elder actually burst into loud sobs, as if he was mourning at a grave.
Qingfeng quickly said, “Master, that’s too much, it’s overdone.”
“Ah?
Too much?” The elder blinked and sighed, “I have beco heartless.”
