Cheng Qi took the bottle, opened it curiously, poured out a green animal spirit pill, and looked at it in his hand. The bull beast in the shed suddenly opened its nostrils with excitement when it smelled the pill. It snorted and touched Cheng Qi’s hand with its tongue.

The back of his hand was itchy after being licked, and it was still full of saliva. Cheng Qi couldn’t help but giggle and played with it for a while before feeding it the medicinal pill.

When the bull beast saw what he wanted was brought to him, he immediately rolled it into his mouth with his tongue, chewing it so hard that it made a squeaking sound and even tilted his mouth to one side.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the bull beast’s reaction, “This guy knows his stuff.”

“Niuniu likes the young master’s medicinal pill very much,” Cheng Qi said and then stretched out his hand to rub the beast’s big bull head.

Li Tianyan sat lazily on the fence, looking sideways at Cheng Qi’s bright eyes, and suddenly realized that this little shuanger seemed to have grown up a lot unknowingly, and even his head had grown taller. “How have you been studying alchemy recently? Have you encountered any problems that you don’t understand?”

Cheng Qi’s face showed a little embarrassment when he mentioned alchemy. He scratched his cheek with his fingers and said, “Recently, I have been able to refine medicinal materials. But I always fail when making the pill.”

He promised before that he wanted to learn alchemy to help Li Tianyan relieve his worries. However, after such a long time, he made no progress in alchemy and instead wasted a lot of medicinal materials. Although the young master did not mind, Cheng Qi was still quite ashamed.

“Alchemy requires spiritual power and flames to be coordinated, and you must learn to do two things at once. If it doesn’t work, focus on your consciousness, so that you can see more clearly,” Li Tianyan said and pointed at Cheng Qi’s forehead.

Actually, it was a bit difficult to learn alchemy with Cheng Qi’s cultivation level, but Li Tianyan did not push him. Even if the refining failed, it would only be a matter of a few sets of medicinal materials, so it was just a matter of laying the foundation for him.

“I understand,” Cheng Qi nodded and reached out to cover his forehead.

Li Tianyan thought for a while and said to Cheng Qi, “I will be in seclusion for a few days, and I will leave the affairs of the villa and Alchemy Pavilion to you. The business in the Alchemy Pavilion should be slower recently. The pills in the store can last for a while longer.”

“Yes, I will take care of it for the young master,” Cheng Qi agreed, puffing up his chest after listening to Li Tianyan’s instructions.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but add in the end, “If you encounter something that you can’t handle, just leave it alone and wait until I come out to solve it.”

“I will try my best,” Cheng Qi muttered in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced.

.

After Li Tianyan retreated, Cheng Qi stayed in the room and continued to study alchemy. Following Li Tianyan’s guidance, Cheng Qi quickly mastered several pill-making techniques. After tempering the medicinal materials, he focused all his mental energy on his consciousness, and a picture that was usually invisible to the naked eye gradually printed in his mind.

After experiencing several more failures, Cheng Qi could see the shape of the spiritual power in the alchemy furnace, as well as the changes in the flames and liquid medicine more clearly. On this day, there was finally a scent of alchemy in the room. Cheng Qi withdrew the flame and looked at his alchemy furnace. There were three formed medicinal pills inside.

Although the number of medicinal pills was not as many as Li Tianyan’s, Cheng Qi was still flushed with excitement. He picked up a medicinal pill from the furnace and stuffed it into his mouth to taste, “Bah, bah, it’s so bitter, so unpalatable.”

.

Li Wu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, heard a sound in the house and hurriedly walked forward and knocked on the door, “Young madam, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Come in.” Hearing Li Wu said that something happened, Cheng Qi quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and sat up straight.

“Young madam, this is the money that Lin Hu just sent. Please take a look at it first.” Li Wu took out a stack of banknotes and an account book from his arms and handed them to Cheng Qi.

“So much?” Cheng Qi discovered that there were more than two million taels. How could it be so much higher than last month’s income in just a few days?

“Lin Hu said that a big customer came to Alchemy Pavilion yesterday and spent two million taels in the store. Most of the medicinal pills in Alchemy Pavilion were gone at once. Today, Alchemy Pavilion’s business suddenly picked up again. Several types of medicinal pills have been sold out.” Li Wu relayed Lin Hu’s words.

Knowing that the young master was in seclusion, Li Wu did not dare to go to the courtyard to disturb him. He could only come to the young madam and hoped that the young madam would find a way to inform the young master.

“Buy so many medicinal pills? Which family was it? Hasn’t the selling a lot weaker recently?” Cheng Qi blinked and asked. Before Li Tianyan retreated, he said that the medicinal pills in the store could last for a while.

Li Wu replied, “Lin Hu said they didn’t recognize the man, and he didn’t reveal his identity. As for the sudden improvement in business, it was because Mr. Tie’s son took the young master’s medicinal pill and successfully entered the ninth level. Many people came to buy medicinal pills after hearing the news today.”

When Cheng Qi heard that someone had taken Li Tianyan’s medicinal pills to advance to the next level, he felt a little proud in his heart, and then curled his lips again. Before, they also compared the young master to that Yuncheng liar. Now that they knew the young master’s medicinal pill was effective, Cheng Qi glanced at the medicinal pill furnace in front of him.

Li Wu had already smelled the fragrance of medicinal pills when he came in. Now he saw two round medicinal pills lying in Cheng Qi’s medicinal pill furnace and was surprised, “Is this made by the young madam?”

“Yeah, but I haven’t tried it yet. I don’t know what the effect will be,” Cheng Qi said slightly distressed. He was not a warrior, and taking the Yiyuan Pill had no effect on him at all, and it gave him a bitter taste.
