The lecture went on for another two hours, during which Xie Qing and the other students learned how to properly evaluate their pills and avoid selling poor-quality products. Despite the late hour, none of the nineteen students looked unhappy or tired, and they all had satisfied smiles on their faces as if they had eaten swan at and were happy.
Before leaving, each student made sure to bow and thank Lu Yin for her guidance.
"Thank you, Healer Lu, for the invaluable knowledge!" they said.
"You're welco. I wish you luck on your path," she modestly replied to them. She saw off each student with a smile, treating them fairly and equally, without giving anyone more attention than necessary.
When the lecture hall was empty, only Xie Qing and Lu Yin remained. The room began to shrink, and soon they found themselves in a much smaller room.
"Excellent work, Xie Qing. Your skills have shaken my understanding of alchemy and given a strong kick in the butt to keep from getting complacent," said Lu Yin with a friendly smile, and then regretfully added, "Although it's a pity that your alchemical fla is not of the highest quality. Otherwise, your potential would be fully realized."
"Indeed, but I am not rich enough to be able to buy an alchemical fla," Xie Qing said with a bitter smile and continued, changing the subject, "You look excited. Has sothing happened?"
"Ah, so you noticed!" Lu Yin awkwardly smiled and began to explain that the next day there would be a gathering of the righteous path, where the main disciples of the sects would discuss the cultivation world, share knowledge, and so on.
"In other words, a gathering for people with nothing better to do," Xie Qing said in a whisper.
"Ha ha... yes, partly so. But I see it as a eting with friends, as we rarely have the opportunity to et due to our obligations in the sect and our families," Lu Yin replied with a ringing laugh like a skylark, covering her cherry lips, and her shoulders shook with laughter. "But your characterization is indeed funny. I think from the outside our etings do leave that impression."
"Otherwise, I don't see the point," Xie Qing agreed with a smile and noted, "By the way, you have a beautiful laugh. And your smile has beco much more sincere."
"Uh..." Lu Yin was taken aback and blushed slightly. "Well, thank you for the complint," she replied with a slightly stamring voice, and then the color of her face returned to normal. She looked at the young man and said, "The day after tomorrow there will be an advanced alchemy lecture in the morning. I strongly urge you to arrive on ti, as you are in the first group this month."
"Of course, I would not dare to put you in an awkward position," Xie Qing said with an understanding expression.
***
It was already one o'clock in the morning when Xie Qing returned to his hotel room. He opened the door and raised his eyebrows when he saw that Xie iling was sitting next to the door reading sothing.
"Why are you sitting in this cold place?" he asked, taking off his guest clothes.
"I was waiting for you," Xie iling said.
Xie iling looked at the young man and saw that he looked a little tired, and she raised her eyebrows, her expression reminiscent of her son.
"Why do you look so tired? Did you pick up another girl on the road?"
"Eh?" Xie Qing couldn't help but make a strange sound, and seeing the jealousy in his mother's eyes, he smiled mischievously and then shook his head. "Of course not. I don't have ti to spend on young ladies when my mother is spending ti alone here."
"Uh..." Xie iling snorted, but her face beca much softer, and her eyes showed joy. The young man was silent but inwardly shook his head.
"She's jealous? Hmm, it seems our relationship isn't as ordinary as it might seem... is this the curse of being handso?" he thought, once again putting on a haughty look.
After he finished undressing, the young man changed into a robe and sat on the bed. Xie iling put her head on his lap and purred softly as the young man stroked her long hair. "How is your cultivation going?" the young man asked with a smile, looking at her cute behavior.
"Not everyone is a monster like you and Xu i," Xie iling replied, stretching the young man's cheeks and laughing when she saw how funny his face looked. "Hihi. You're so cute."
"..." Xie Qing raised his eyebrows.
"Cute? I haven't been called cute since I was five years old," the young man thought, distorting the corners of his mouth.
So he decided to tease his mother a little. He secretly lowered his hands to her butt and then slapped it. Slap! The sound was muffled because she was wearing a fairly thick layer of clothing, so the force of the blow was dampened.
However, it was enough to make Xie iling feel a strange vibration inside her body, and her face turned red with sha.
The hands stretching Xie Qing's cheeks fell, and she involuntarily let out a moan: "Mmm~... uh!"
It took two seconds for her to realize what had happened, and in panic, she closed her eyes.
But it was too late - Xie Qing had heard and was looking at her with narrowed eyes that showed amusent. Like a frightened cat, Xie iling suddenly disappeared.
Even with his keen eyes, the young man could barely follow her and found that she had fled to the second room.
"Ooh... if it weren't for this layer of clothing..." Xie Qing thought, shaking his head regretfully.
Young Master Xie Qing was that pervert who didn't even spare his mother.
Seeing Xie iling, he always felt the urge to protect her and keep her close to him. Not allowing anyone to touch her or co within a centiter. This was even reminiscent of dragons guarding everything that belonged to them and not allowing people to even approach their treasures.
"Could the bloodline be influencing this way?" the young man thought, tilting his head to the side: "Strange..."
And it could very well be because of his perverted nature, who knows about this bastard? Xie Qing cast a reproachful glance sowhere behind him but saw no one. "Hm? I distinctly felt soone cursing ," the young man thought in bewildernt.
The next day, Xie Qing had no classes because Lu Yin was leaving for the gathering, and he had mastered the basic lessons completely.
"Boring..." the young man thought.
Xie iling also shared his boredom, and she was always sighing. Not knowing what to do, the young man entered a store.
He had accumulated wealth and now had slightly less than two million Spirit Stones.
He didn't need anything at the mont, but he could buy sothing for his loved ones. There were many goods, many of them very expensive, but the young man was now interested in the "pills" section.
"Ah, this..." he exclaid in admiration. A road to another world opened up before him. Countless pills that looked as if they had been produced by a great alchemist... no, a legendary alchemist!
[Soul Growth Pill] | [Price: 170,000 Spirit Stones] | [Description: Helps strengthen the soul and slightly accelerate soul growth]
[Phoenix Rebirth Pill] | [Price: 750,000 Spirit Stones] | [Description: A pill made from the blood of a phoenix chick. Can help survive death, but only works once]
[Instant Cultivation Pill] | [Price: 1,500,000 Spirit Stones] | [Description: A pill that helps raise a realm. There are risks of death].
[Golden Dragon Pill] | [Price: 250,000,000 Spirit Stones] | [Description: Allows you to strengthen your physique and also acquire the bloodline of the Golden Dragon].
The prices were simply insane, especially for the last pill. Xie Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Golden Dragon? I've seen this na before... it's almost present in all items and always very expensive," Xie Qing thought.
Golden Dragon. It seed to be so kind of high-class dragon bloodline because the cultivation world always called gold what was powerful.
At least, Xie Qing understood this from the nas of the techniques, which sounded as if they had been produced in the sa factory.
Most of the pills were indeed sothing that an ordinary person could not obtain. Especially the Phoenix Rebirth Pill.
"The ability to be reborn after death... for this pill, people would give not so 750,000 Spirit Stones, but hundreds of millions," Xie Qing thought. For a second, he was overco with greed - to buy the pill and sell it, but...
"No, that would be stupid. If the cultivation world were so humane and polite, then hundreds of millions of lives would not have been lost in vain," the young man concluded and narrowed his eyes: "If this pill appeared on the shelf, then hundreds of millions of cultivators would fight for possession of it. Even I could not escape the danger."
Realizing these facts, which could threaten his safety, Xie Qing overca his greed and, sighing, continued to flip through the catalog.
There were simply an unbearable number of pills and various items. Each of them cost more than ten million and had incredible effects, for which even immortals would fight. Xie Qing sighed a little.
He wanted to co up with so kind of business and make a lot of money to buy and arm himself, becoming as bright as a peacock. However, he had to bite his lip and close the store.
There was nothing he needed right now, so this was more of a way to pass the ti. And accidentally missing, he entered a strange category called 'Other.'
"What..."
"It..."
"Is...!?"
