After returning from the secret realm of the afterlife, Lou Qi disappeared quietly for three days. When he returned to the sect on the afternoon of the fourth day, the first thing he did was to knock on the door of Li Yang's courtyard.
Even before entering, you can smell the aroma of the food inside.
A round black and white glutinous rice ball came out first. I don't know what he had eaten secretly. His little face became dirty. He slowly came over and opened the courtyard door and screamed at Lou Qi.
Seeing that Lou Qi was not moving outside, the little dirty ball came over to smell him, then slowly hugged his thigh and hung him up like a tree.
Li Yang came out at this time. His body was dirty and covered with flour, just like Qiuqiu. His face was clean, but he had just washed it to be polite to others.
"Elder brother?" The girl was a little confused, and then her eyes lit up: "You're back?"
"Um."
Lou Qi lowered his eyelashes: "Can I come in?"
Li Yang: "Okay, I just made dumplings, do you want some?"
"good."
Lou Qi walked in and first threw a spirit stone card to Li Yang: "When I came back, I met Fang Yizhou from the Alchemy King Sect, and he asked me to pass this to you."
There are no more or less spiritual stones on the card, exactly 150,000.
Li Yang's eyes lit up instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Lou Qi handed over another spirit stone card: "I gave this to you."
"?"
She looked at the number on the card and saw it was 100,000.
She didn't think it was strange that Fang Yizhou took out 150,000, but he was stingy like Lou Qi. The person who redeemed his body for the bastard only took 20,000. Since his cultivation, almost all his net worth has been given to the sect. He can give out 100,000 at once. Li Yang's eyelashes trembled, and he even felt that he had a terminal illness.
The girl immediately switched to a worried state: "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, tell me what happened. Although I can't help, there is strength in numbers. We can always think of a solution together. Get through it.”
She spoke so fast that there was no punctuation at the end.
Lou Qi: "..."
The man's cheek twitched twice visible to the naked eye. While pressing the ball that was climbing up on his leg, he calmly replied: "I can't die for the time being."
Li Yang just breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at her look, Lou Qi even found it a little funny.
He rarely heard such sincere and anxious inquiries, and it felt like there was a soft couch in his heart.
"Then what did you give me the money for?"
After learning that Lou Qi was fine, she immediately acted like a money-lover, and turned her face away from money in a standard way.
Lou Qi was silent for a moment, then flipped through the mustard bag.
Li Yang felt his vision darken instantly.
The corpses of monster beasts were piled up in the small courtyard as high as a mountain. They were flying in the sky, running on land, and swimming in the water. There were fish, shrimps, cattle, and sheep. The moment they were piled high, she couldn't see the sky below.
Lou Qi said: "You did a good job cooking for Master before, and I will ask you to do it next. These spiritual stones are your hard work."
She: (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎
Since breaking through the realm and reaching the peak of foundation building, she is now more proficient in extracting the spiritual energy from the flesh of monsters, and all the monsters brought back by Lou Qi this time are in the foundation building stage or the early stage of golden elixir that she can refine.
Not only can she practice cultivation, the meat that Xu Siqing can't eat can also be given to her. Apart from the meat, all the treasures on the monster's body belong to her. The most important thing is that she can earn money. This is a wonderful thing for Li Yang. The business couldn't be better.
However, the girl still hesitated for a moment.
Then he shook his head and said honestly: "Senior Brother, Master's problem cannot be solved by eating a few more meals."
Xu Siqing's body is now like a big funnel, constantly leaking spiritual energy.
The reason why eating the food cooked by Li Yang allowed him to recover and be promoted for a short period of time was because he absorbed more than he consumed.
But this is not a long-term solution. The natural funnel is getting bigger and bigger in the body, and sooner or later it will continue its previous path of falling off.
In fact, Li Yang didn't need to tell Lou Qi to understand this.
He pursed his lips into a straight line, very tightly, as if his back was pressed by something. He bent down slightly, concealed his emotions with his lowered eyelashes, and replied slowly: "At least this method can make him feel better." How many days to live.”
Over the years, he read through various books and prayed for countless alchemy exercises, but nothing could make him recover. Xu Siqing had given up on himself. It was only thanks to Li Yang's few dishes that he managed to cheer up.
This was the only time in a hundred years that his level rose instead of falling. Lou Qi felt that as long as there was a little hope, he would give it a try.
"Anyway..." His voice was very low: "Please, little junior sister."
Li Yang was startled.
When Lou Qi turned around to leave, she hooked the man's clothes: "Elder brother, wait a moment..."
Xu Siqing's problem was very serious. Li Yang had looked through the alchemy books in his mind but could not find a definite solution.
But thanks to a trip to the secret place of the afterlife.
She got a glimpse of the recipe for Alchemy King Zong Bingqing Dan.
This kind of elixir is actually recorded in the elixir book, but it is not by this name, and the spiritual plants required are too expensive and rare, and are almost out of print.
But the senior Dan Wang Sect cleverly used two incompatible spiritual plants and combined them in a unique way to create an addition. It actually had the same effect as before, and even had a better effect.
The moment he saw Danfang, Li Yang felt a little emotional, but he was also very confused and couldn't see clearly like a fog.
Until Fang Yizhou used a rebirth technique to thank her.
She saw vitality in thousands of spiritual plants.
If one kind of spiritual plant is not enough, then there are two or three kinds of spiritual plants, which are endless and endless.
The things that had been unclear in her mind were connected together. She put together several elixir recipes with similar effects in the elixir book and studied them together, and gained some new insights.
Li Yang took out a pen and paper and wrote the names of several spiritual plants on it: "Elder brother, can you help me find these spiritual plants?"
Li Yang said: "I will continue to help Master cook during this period, but if you can trust me, I want to give it a try."
The building remained abandoned for a long time.
When the aroma of cooked dumplings came out in the pot, he nodded: "Okay."
The man put away the note very solemnly.
Even though several of the spiritual plants above were rare and difficult to find, he still agreed.
But Li Yang didn't know that 90% of the spiritual plants on it were the same as the elixir that the Alchemy Master originally prescribed for Xu Siqing. They were things that Lou Qi had been looking for for many years but had not yet found.
It was precisely because of the similarity that Lou Qi trusted her more.
Li Yang's eyebrows were curved and his smile was pure: "Then let's eat dumplings. They happen to be made of monster meat. You can bring them back to Master later."
The moment the girl turned around.
Lou Qi seemed to see a trace of the most real and trustworthy hope in her delicate back.
