Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Better to let go of the sand that can’t be grasped.
“Is this… a dicine Cauldron?” Jiang Lichun asked with so uncertainty.
“What else did you think it was? A bathtub?” Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, snorted lightly, and thought to himself, just wait until I refine the Pill dicine, then you’ll be begging for it.
With a Spirit Condensation breath, Li Xiaoyao took out the ingredients for refining the Spirit Qi Pill and arranged them neatly to one side.
Jiang Lichun kept silent, quietly watching Li Xiaoyao.
It sure looked the part, but he had no idea when this kid had also bought a dicine Cauldron.
However, having a dicine Cauldron and ingredients was useless without the most important thing for an alchemist, which was the fla. Without the fla, everything would be in vain.
He clearly rembered that the first ti Li Xiaoyao practiced alchemy, he had used a pressure cooker and a gas stove…
Li Xiaoyao’s gaze was calm as he extended his right hand, palm open, and a clump of golden fla slowly rose up.
Jiang Lichun’s pupils slightly contracted— the kid actually had his own primordial fla source!
Shit, is he trying to defy the heavens?
The Spirit Qi Pill was just a First Grade Pill dicine, the most basic kind.
Its main purpose was to be used for recovering Spiritual Energy during battles when one’s Spiritual Energy was insufficient.
The refinent process for the Spirit Qi Pill was very simple and allowed for multiple ones to be refined at once.
Li Xiaoyao planned to use the Spirit Qi Pill to lay a solid foundation.
The Jin Yuan fire touched the dicine Cauldron and entered. A hint of searing heat suddenly rose within the cold cauldron as herbs began flying into it in a smooth, uninterrupted flow.
His eyes fixed on the herbs engulfed in flas, Li Xiaoyao, with his exceptional spiritual sense, perceived even the slightest changes.
A quarter of an hour later, all the ingredients were completely refined.
Next was to rge all the refined ingredients together.
In Jiang Lichun’s eyes, all of this looked so difficult, but under Li Xiaoyao’s control, it seed as simple as slicing vegetables.
Not until a bunch of fragrant Spirit Qi Pills flew out of the dicine Cauldron did Jiang Lichun truly believe that the kid indeed knew the art of alchemy.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and with a smile appearing on his face, Li Xiaoyao looked at the dozen Pills in his hand and said, “Not bad, a success on the first try.”
Jiang Lichun asked, “Who taught you alchemy?”
“None of your damn business.” With a retort, Li Xiaoyao put away the Pills and turned to walk toward the kitchen.
Jiang Lichun felt a bit annoyed; what was he doing taking the kid so seriously?
The aroma was overflowing; the at of the two-tailed tiger cat was particularly tender.
Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Lichun each had a large bowl, ate to their satisfaction, and there was still half a pot left.
“Why did you stew so much?” It would be too wasteful not to finish the at soup.
“I’ll eat it later,” Li Xiaoyao said. “Didn’t you say earlier you had sothing important to discuss with ?”
When it ca to serious matters, Jiang Lichun imdiately beca solemn, “Do you rember the roar of the Demon Beast from yesterday?”
“Yeah, what about it?” Li Xiaoyao’s heart stirred; could soone have discovered that Demon Beast beneath the antique shop?
Jiang Lichun said, “I got news today that many Sects and families are secretly rushing to Ling City.”
“Could it be because of that Demon Beast?”
“Probably,” Jiang Lichun said. “But it’s not just for the Demon Beast, it’s also for that ancient tomb.”
Raising his eyebrows lightly, Li Xiaoyao asked, “Has the news of the ancient tomb spread?”
“Too many people know about the tomb, and since they can’t enter, naturally they would seek help,” Jiang Lichun shook his head slightly and said, “However, this might not be a bad thing. The more people who know about the tomb, the more advantageous it is for us.”
“Fishing in troubled waters?”
“Don’t make it sound so unpleasant; it’s called reaping the fisherman’s gains.” He chuckled, the old Jiang Lichun said, “There are quite a few powerful individuals coming this ti. They should have more than enough to deal with Zhu Jiuyin, and we just need to hide in the shadows. Once they deal with Zhu Jiuyin and break the Formation, we can follow them inside.”
“That might actually work,” Li Xiaoyao had originally planned to use the Divine Invocation Technique to deal with Zhu Jiuyin, but now, it seed unnecessary.
Showing off his strength too much wasn’t necessarily a good thing for Li Xiaoyao.
Jiang Lichun stood up from the couch and said, “I’m going out to take care of so things. If everything goes well, we’ll head to the ancient tomb tomorrow.”
After Jiang Lichun left, Nie Xiaoqian erged from the ancient jade and absorbed the remaining half pot of at soup.
Li Xiaoyao packed away the dicine Cauldron and said apologetically, “Miss Xiaoqian, I’m afraid it will be so ti before I can take you ho.”
Nie Xiaoqian responded understandingly, “My lord has important matters first; Xiaoqian is not in a hurry.”
“Rest assured, I, Li Xiaoyao, will keep the promise I made to you,” he said solemnly to her, “I need to step out for a mont.”
Li Xiaoyao drove to the residential area where Zhang ng lived. After hearing what Li Xiaoyao had to say, Zhang ng arranged a high-end tour for her father and sent him off to enjoy it.
“Ding-dong!”
The doorbell rang. Zhang ng hurried to open the door and saw Li Xiaoyao standing at the entrance. She threw her arms open and lunged at him.
After pinching her buttocks a few tis, Li Xiaoyao carried her straight to the couch and took out a marrow-cleansing, bone-tempering pill from his Storage Ring, saying, “Eat this.”
Zhang ng didn’t even ask; she just swallowed it down.
What followed was a routine Li Xiaoyao was all too familiar with. After removing her impurities, the two of them went straight into the bathroom and began their intense encounter.
Having not seen each other for a while, Zhang ng’s enthusiasm was sky-high, even leaving Li Xiaoyao sowhat overwheld.
Eventually satisfying her, Li Xiaoyao carried her to bed and they began dual cultivation.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t have much ti left, and before leaving, he left a marrow-cleansing, bone-tempering pill for Zhang ng, which was intended for her father.
Now that he had the ability, Li Xiaoyao did what he could to take care of the people around him.
After leaving ho, Li Xiaoyao took the initiative to call Zhu Xiaoyue.
When Zhu Xiaoyue picked up the phone, her voice was laced with a complaining tone, “Where have you been? Why haven’t you contacted for so long? Don’t you want to be in a relationship with anymore? Just say it, and I won’t pester you.”
Li Xiaoyao broke out in a cold sweat. What was she talking about?
“Where are you? I’ll co find you.”
Zhu Xiaoyue was still at work. Li Xiaoyao drove to the police station and picked her up.
Zhu Xiaoyue, still in her uniform, got into the car and remained silent.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, I got in touch with you as soon as I got back,” Li Xiaoyao explained while driving.
“You’re lying. You clearly have the scent of another woman’s perfu on you.”
Uh…
This was quite embarrassing.
“Cough cough, what would you like to eat?” Li Xiaoyao changed the subject.
“Stop the car; I’ll go ho by myself.”
“Xiaoyue,” Li Xiaoyao sighed, “There are so things that I hope you won’t get involved in, which is why I haven’t told you.”
Zhu Xiaoyue laughed mockingly. “Right, you never regarded as your girlfriend. You never want to share anything with . Since it’s like this, what’s the point of clinging to you?”
With a wry smile, Li Xiaoyao said, “It’s not what you think.”
“Then what is it? Tell ,” Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyes turned red. Li Xiaoyao was the first man she truly cared for, but he was like the wind, elusive and hard to grasp.
She felt the distance between her and Li Xiaoyao was growing wider, as if she was about to lose him.
Sand that can’t be held is better off tossed away.
When it ca to love, Zhu Xiaoyue hoped to be rational, and that’s what she was trying to do.
