“Niuniu, why don’t you eat?” Cheng Qi filled the bull beast’s trough with plenty of fodder, but seeing that it didn’t move, he reached out and rubbed the dull hair on the bull beast’s head.

Niuniu opened its nostrils and snorted, and kept rubbing its big head against its owner to act coquettishly. Cheng Qi hugged Niuniu’s head to dodge its tongue on his face while giggling loudly.

After playing around for a while, Cheng Qi finally patted its head and asked the bull beast to stop, “Behave, Niuniu. You just ate the Beast Spirit Pill yesterday, so you can only eat grass today.”

Upon hearing this, the bull beast continued to grind, using all kinds of tricks to act coquettishly and cutely. In the end, Cheng Qi was so beaten by it, he had no choice but to take out a pill and give it to it, “I’ll secretly give it to you today. Eat one, but you can’t eat it tomorrow.”

As soon as the bull beast smelled the fragrance of the pill, it immediately rolled its tongue into its mouth and chewed it, humming with satisfaction on its face, as if in response to Cheng Qi’s words.

A pair of red eyes hid not far away and stared at them. Seeing that the stupid cow actually managed to steal a pill in such a shameless way, a look of deep thought appeared on the ferocious face of Tao Wu.

Cheng Qi saw the bull beast had finished eating the Beast Spirit Pill and then obediently lowered its head to nibble on the grass. He touched its head again and was about to go back to the house. However, he suddenly felt something hugging his feet, and he heard a chirping sound.

.

When Li Tianyan came back, he happened to see the scene of Tao Wu rolling around at Cheng Qi’s feet. Seeing how hard the beast was turning around and hugging Cheng Qi’s thighs, a row of black lines suddenly slid down Li Tianyan’s forehead. Suddenly, he doubted if he had taken a fake ancient beast.

In the end, Tao Wu succeeded in stealing a True Yin Pill with his outstanding performance. He held the pill in his mouth and prepared to leave in a confident manner, but froze when he saw Li Tianyan’s figure.

“Young master, you’re back.” When Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan, he immediately ran over happily, “How did it go?”

“I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Get ready. We’ll go up the mountain tomorrow,” Li Tianyan rubbed the top of Cheng Qi’s head and spoke.

“Okay,” Cheng Qi nodded immediately upon hearing this, then he thought of something and asked, “By the way, young master, Tao Wu seems to also like the True Yin Pill. Can it be eaten?”

Cheng Qi was hit by the cuteness just now, and in his moment of weakness, he gave the beast one pill. Only now did he remember that it was the young master’s weapon spirit. He didn’t know if eating a pill would have any effect.

Li Tianyan: “…” ‘There seem to be more and more people fighting for his food.’

.

The next day, the villagers of Hejia Village began to break ground to rebuild the village’s ancestral hall. Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi also went up the mountain again. While clearing the mutated beasts that had been eroded by the evil energy in the mountains, they also tried to find ways to dissipate the evil energy covering the mountains as soon as possible.

The Soul-Destroying Bell was stamped with several seals by Li Tianyan, and the speed of absorbing the evil energy became very slow. In addition to the Soul-Destroying Bell, Cheng Qi also helped to absorb the evil energy from the mountain. After the transformation, half of it was made into the True Yin Pill, and the other half was transferred to Li Tianyan.

After staying in the mountains for a period of time, they would go down to Hejia Village for a few days to rest or go to nearby towns to buy some necessary items, and then continue back to the mountains.

It took them a full year and a half to restore the entire Qiluan Mountain to its original state. After more than a year of accumulation, the two of them advanced again. After solving the problem of Qiluan Mountain, Li Tianyan did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took Cheng Qi to find the heart of the dragon vein and make a cave to practice in seclusion for a year.

However, it was not that easy for Li Tianyan, who was already at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, to go further. One year later, he had only entered the middle of the ninth level. On the contrary, Cheng Qi successfully advanced to the eighth level of Qi Condensation due to the Ghost Control Order and Tan Eyu’s efforts absorbing the evil energy.

When Cheng Qi’s cultivation was consolidated, the two finally decided to descend the mountain. Li Tianyan also wanted to take Cheng Qi to visit other places.

.

Upon returning to Hejia Village a year later, there were many changes. The evil energy of Qiluan Mountain had dissipated, and warriors gradually ventured into the mountain to hunt. Hejia Village also regained some popularity, and herbs had been growing on the hilltop since last year, keeping the villagers busy.

Today’s Hejia Village was no longer like a pool of stagnant water as Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi had seen when they first arrived. From a distance, the rising sun shone into the village, giving it a feeling of prosperity.

The small, shabby house they had lived in remained empty. Two simple straw huts were built behind the village for other warriors to rest. Li Tianyan had not initially planned to stay longer, but seeing Cheng Qi’s nostalgic gaze towards the small, shabby house, he finally decided to stay for a few days before leaving.

“Doctor Li, it’s really you,” The village chief exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the two people.

Hearing that someone was staying in the shabby house, the village chief hurried over to check. When he was about to explain that the house was already occupied, he recognized the young couple whom he hadn’t seen for a year.

However, the two people today looked different from their youthful appearance when they first met. The village chief was still a little dazed as he looked at the tall and straight young man in front of him. He felt as if it was just yesterday when the young couple had led the horse into Hejia Village.

Note:

From his wisdom, I could see that Li Tianyan is truly a powerful cultivator. He knows human affairs well and didn’t tell them unnecessary knowledges or make them panic. He is very calm and knowledgeable, it’s very nice^^
