Dong dong dong dong dong…

The sharp kitchen knife cut open the flesh of the elbow, and the knife holder was Li Shuidao, who was bitter and resentful.

Li Shuilang squatted in the corner and concentrated on washing vegetables.

Steamed buns are steaming on the stove.

Both of them looked depressed.

"That Wang Tiankun is such a bastard, he actually ran away, and now we two brothers are forced to help him do these dirty jobs, damn it!" Li Shuilang cursed while washing vegetables.

Li Shuidao smiled bitterly and nodded, and he also said: "Yes, why did he run away? This is really..."

This is really a cocoon!

If he had known earlier, he should have been merciful and spared Wang Tiankun's life.

It's better now, people have sunk to the bottom of the pond, and all the work has become their own.

However, Wang Tiankun was one of the culprits who murdered him, and this kind of person must be killed.

There is no possibility of reconciliation.

Nowadays, there is no one to do the kitchen work, so the Li brothers can only take over.

Fortunately, if the two of them started working together, it wouldn't waste much effort.

After serving the food, you still have to wash the dishes.

After the two finished the kitchen chores together, they finally had time to return to their own courtyard.

There are more than a dozen first-level spiritual herbs drying in the small courtyard: three immortal grasses, rootless ice grass, and fire thistle.

In the deep well in the kitchen, there is also a cellar of medicinal gourds containing evergreen elixirs.

A few days later...

Li Shuidao was busy in the kitchen alone. He poured out seven or eight Evergreen pills from the black gourd, and then smashed them with a copper hammer.

These Changchun Pills are waste pills. Although the fire poison in them has been eliminated, their medicinal properties have basically been lost, making them useless.

Li Shuidao only needed Changchun Dan to reconcile water and fire.

As he grinded slowly, the Evergreen Pill made a crisp sound as it was pounded by the hammer, gradually breaking into fine pieces...

Pure white rootless ice grass is placed in a porcelain bowl.

The fiery red fire thistle is gently torn into thin shreds.

The two herbs are mixed together with Vincraine powder.

Li Shuidao held the mortar in his hand, rubbing his palms slightly, and the powder he ground slowly became finer.

The three medicinal materials are mixed into a fine powder, gradually exuding a fragrance that penetrates the heart.

Li Shuidao took out the fresh Sanxiancao that had been prepared in advance. He chopped the fresh Sanxiancao into fine pieces and mixed it with the powders of periwinkle, rootless wheatgrass, and fire thistle.

In the roaring flames on the copper pot, I carefully turned it with a shovel...

As the wooden spatula stirred on the copper pot, the mixture gradually turned purple.

A smile appeared on Li Shuidao's lips. Rootless ice grass and fire thistle can indeed replace toad gallbladder and bitter snake gall. This means that his systematic thinking is correct.

The flame on the stove gradually extinguished, and a thick layer of purple powder was piled on the bottom of the pot.

Li Shuidao took the paper bags prepared in advance and carefully packed the Purple Poison Powder into thirteen small packages.

The Purple Du Powder was finally made, and the next step was clinical trials.

No matter how correct the theory is, it still needs practical evidence.

at dusk.

The setting sun shone on the small courtyard in front of Li Shuidao's house.

Li Shuidao smiled and handed Li Shuilang a small paper bag.

"This is it?" Li Shuilang looked confused.

"Purple Poison Powder."

"What?"

"I brought this to you specially." Li Shuidao smiled.

Li Shuilang took the small bag and opened it. It was indeed Purple Du Powder: "I will pay it back to you when I receive the monthly payment next month."

Li Shuidao waved his hand: "We are of the same race. There is no need to worry about these trivial matters between brothers. This is what I give to you."

Li Shuilang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Shuidao with eyes full of gratitude: "Good brother! You are so polite, what can you tell me?"

"Brothers don't have to be so polite."

"Brother Dao, if you have anything to do in the future, just give me your instructions."

"If you are so polite between brothers, then I will leave the kitchen chores to you from now on."

"Okay! Brother, you gave me your training resources, what's wrong with me doing some chores?"

Li Shuilang summoned his scorpion companion with a thought.

I saw an earthy yellow scorpion crawling out from Li Shuilang's sleeves and starting to feast on the Purple Poison Powder.

Unexpectedly, the poisonous scorpion fainted just after eating half of it and lay there motionless.

Oops!

The test failed.

"You...didn't you buy this at Baicaotang?" Li Shuilang asked.

"Yes, Baicaotang's price is too expensive. I bought it from a street stall." Li Shuidao explained guiltily.

"How much did you pay for it?"

"Uh... Fifteen jade coins a bag." Li Shuidao said casually.

"Next time I give you my monthly payment, and you bring two bags for me."

"If you buy from casual cultivators, you may not be able to find a stall." Li Shuidao explained with a look of embarrassment.

"Is your colleague okay?" Li Shuidao asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just drunkenness. It did the same thing when it ate Baicaotang's Purple Poison Pill, but the reaction wasn't that big." Li Shuilang explained.



After observing for several days, Li Shuilang's ginseng showed no discomfort. While Li Shuilang was busy in the kitchen, Li Shuidao began to feed his tongshen.

With a thought in his mind, Li Shuidao waved his wide sleeves, and a palm-sized jade toad jumped out. Its body shows an extremely crystal clear green color and exudes a faint fragrance. Li Shuidao took out a pack of Purple Poison Powder and was about to open it when the jade toad in front of him quickly grew larger, thicker, stronger, and harder...

I saw that the jade toad expanded rapidly and became huge in an instant. The height of its body reached Li Shuidao's knees, and its entire body was as big as a millstone.

The skin became as hard as rock, showing a deep earthy color, and was covered with a layer of shiny scales, as indestructible as granite.

Li Shuidao looked at the giant thing in front of him in surprise. This was the first time he discovered that toads and ginseng could change like this.

After the transformation, the toad swallowed the Purple Poison Powder in Li Shuidao's hand in one gulp and swallowed the package into his stomach. This was too rude.

The two small eyes of the big toad continued to stare at Li Shuidao, with a hint of urging in his eyes.

Li Shuidao felt this thought and quickly took out the second pack of Purple Poison Powder and fed it to the toad again.

not enough!

Li Shuidao eagerly took out the third pack of Purple Poison Powder.

Finally, after feeding on the third pack of Purple Poison Powder, the big toad stopped swallowing with satisfaction, and its entire body gradually returned to its original state. It transformed back into a palm-sized jade toad, exuding a faint fragrance.

As night fell, Li Shuilang fell asleep after a busy day in the kitchen.

Li Shuidao held a green light sword in his hand and waved it in the courtyard.

There are no sword moves, just an incomprehensible formula.

The sword becomes natural, nature becomes the sword, the mind is calm and the thoughts are unified.

Rather than saying this is a kendo formula, it is better to say it is a hypnotic mantra.

The air was filled with the faint hum of mosquitoes and flies.

Li Shuidao's innate magical power could easily capture the trajectory of these mosquitoes and flies even under the moonlight.

With his brisk bamboo sword, he could easily kill these dancing insects.

It is not easy to use the heavy green steel sword.

This sword made of fine iron is too heavy compared to the bamboo sword.

He held the handle of the sword hard, sweat dripping down his forehead.

Every time he swings his sword, he is full of power, and every movement he makes is done with precision.

However, there were not a single mosquito or fly flying around in the sky.

You can see it, but you may not be able to cut it.

In the battle at Longquantan, Li Shuidao was able to block Wang Xuanfeng's flying knife. He relied on the Eye of the Wind to predict the trajectory of the flying knife. The reason why the flying knife hit him was not because of his speed at all.

He just has a sharp eye, and his sword is not fast at all. If you want to be fast, you must practice!
