“Hey, young madam, how about I help you try it?” Li Wu rubbed his hands and volunteered.
Cheng Qi looked at him suspiciously, “Didn’t the young master just give you one this month? Can you still take it?”
Li Tianyan said that warriors below the third level could only take one Yiyuan Pill a month, and there were no more than three pills for level 3 and above. Taking too many pills would have the opposite effect.
“I’m not willing to eat the precious small pill from the young master. I want to save it for when I advance.” Li Wu explained with a smile. Yiyuan Pill costed one thousand taels; how could he eat it casually?
After hearing what he said, Cheng Qi nodded with relief, took out one pill from the furnace, and gave it to him, “Then you try it for me.”
“The little one will enjoy it.” Li Wu looked at Cheng Qi nodded and immediately swallowed the medicinal pill happily. As soon as the power of the medicine dissipated, Li Wu felt the vitality in his body rising slowly.
“Is it effective?” Cheng Qi stared at him for a moment.
Li Wu nodded and confirmed, “It’s effective, it’s Yiyuan Pill.”
Thinking that the young madam, like the young master, could also produce this magical medicinal pill, Li Wu admired the two of them even more.
“That’s good.” Cheng Qi was relieved when he heard that it worked. He put the remaining pill in the furnace into a bottle and handed it to Li Wu, “You can give this to Xiao Liu.”
“Yes, I’ll leave it to him. But young madam, what’s about the things in Alchemy Pavilion…” Li Wu took the medicine bottle and asked again.
“You can’t disturb the young master. I will try my best to make up for the Yiyuan Pill. If the medicinal pill someone wants to buy is not available in the store, you can ask the customer to make a reservation first, register the medicinal pill and the quantity, and let the customer pick it up in half a month.” Cheng Qi ordered Li Wu.
Li Tianyan only said that he would be in seclusion for a few days, which should not be too long. Cheng Qi felt that fifteen days would definitely be enough.
“Yes, young madam.” Li Wu responded and then retreated. He had to find a place to digest the pills he had taken as soon as possible. One thousand taels of silver could not be wasted.
.
The room was clean again. Cheng Qi took out his savings bag, counted how many herbs were left in it, and took out a candied haw in his hand and licked it. The sweet and sour taste made him felt better. “Sure enough, the candied haws on a stick are still delicious.”
“I thought you were really promising.” A red figure sat down opposite Cheng Qi. Seeing that he was actually licking the candied haws with relish, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. He was indeed a brat who was still young.
“You’re here,” Cheng Qi said vaguely with his mouth full of candied haws.
“Why did you summon me?” Tan Eyu turned her eyes away and said awkwardly.
“Did you use that drop of blood?” Since Tan Eyu appeared, Cheng Qi found that the connection between them seemed to have deepened.
Tan Eyu did not deny it, “Used it. Good things have to used fast, and you can’t cancel the contract anyway.”
Cheng Qi thought about it, then said, “Go to Jincheng and check. Who is the person who paid more than two million to buy the medicinal pill in our Alchemy Pavilion?”
Two million was not a small amount. Cheng Qi was worried that the person had other purposes. Now that the young master was in retreat, what if something went wrong. If he knew who bought it, at least he could be aware of it.
“Isn’t it great that people are willing to pay for the medicinal pill? Why do you have to know who bought it?” Tan Eyu yawned and was too lazy to move. Then she thought of something and suddenly her eyes lit up, “High-ranking families in Jincheng City had many warriors, I can’t get in with my level of cultivation, unless you are willing to give me a few more drops.”
“I heard there is a dish called fried ghost, and it tastes pretty good.” Cheng Qi licked the candied haws with a look of interest on his face.
“Can’t I go at night?” Tan Eyu looked at his evil eyes, and finally said weakly after being defeated, “I’m really blind.”
.
Cheng Qi stuffed the remaining candied haws in his mouth, clapped his hands, and took out a pair of medicinal materials, ready to continue making alchemy.
“Hey, why are you making medicinal pills again?” Seeing that she was ignored again, Tan Eyu said a little unhappily.
“Because Alchemy Pavilion’s business is now good, and we can make more money by refining pills,” Cheng Qi said without thinking.
Tan Eyu looked at him with disdain, “Aren’t Immortals supposed to be detached from the world? Why do you still like copper and silver, just like your young master.”
“I’m not an Immortal. Young master said we can only be cultivators. Unless you can ascend to immortality in the future, you will be an immortal,” Cheng Qi corrected with a serious look.
Cultivation required a lot of resources, and the young master had limited spiritual stones. After using them, he must buy more with money. Of course, he had to work hard to make money.
“So, you are really the same as those from Tianfan Immortal Sect? You are all immortal cultivators.” Tan Eyu became surer of his guess after hearing what Cheng Qi said.
“It seems like it.” Cheng Qi had never met people from Tianfan Immortal Sect, so he didn’t know if they thought the same.
Tan Eyu thought about it and felt something was wrong, “You two came from Jincheng and were not accepted into Tianfan Immortal Sect. How did you learn the immortal method? Also, don’t you think your young master is weird?”
“What is strange about the young master?” Cheng Qi glared angrily when he heard her bad words about Li Tianyan.
“Okay, he’s not weird, I just feel like he knows too much, which is a bit unreasonable. Maybe he is possessed by a ghost.” Tan Eyu guessed it casually, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Cheng Qi gave her a helpless look. A cultivator would not turn into a ghost when he died, so how could he be possessed? However, when Tan Eyu mentioned this, Cheng Qi also thought of something strange.
He had heard from the servants of the Cheng Mansion that Li Tianyan was in love with the eldest sister, but the few encounters were not as rumored. On the contrary, the young master never looked at the other party at all, and…
Cheng Qi suddenly thought of the memory that he least wanted to remember—the man who would scold him for being ugly and even beat him when he first arrived in Li Mansion. Even if he recalled it after a long time, it still made him felt terrible, but now he was not afraid or disliked the young master at all.
Chengi Qi held his chin and thought carefully. It seemed that Li Tianyan had become very gentle since the Jingxin Hall incident. It happened to be after the young master recovered from a serious illness. The more Cheng Qi thought about it, the brighter his black eyes became. He seemed to have caught something, but with his current vision, he couldn’t explain it all. Maybe he would find the answer in the future.
