Chapter 153 The Little Devil Steals Medicine
"Brother, Master told me something when he asked me to come here just now."
When Li Yi was riding his horse past a sparsely populated street, Rong Niang began to speak softly on horseback.
"What's the matter?" Li Yi asked.
Rong Niang hesitated, but bit her lip and whispered, "Master asked me to move in with Senior Brother, saying that Senior Brother is new here and unfamiliar with everything in Sanyang City, so he needs someone to take care of him. Master originally planned to let Junior Sister come over, but Junior Sister is too young to do things well, so Master asked me to come over first. Although Senior Brother can invite outsiders, he is not as reassured as his own family after all. Moreover, Senior Brother needs to concentrate on cultivating his mind on weekdays, so he needs someone like this to help him take care of everything."
"However, this is Master's idea. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Then she raised her head slightly and looked at Li Yi with some anticipation.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Master is really good to me. He actually worries about my life. But Master, by doing this, isn't it delaying you, Rong Niang? You are a martial artist who practices marrow training. After recuperation, with some powerful medicine to replenish your qi and blood, it will be almost a natural process for you to break through to the blood training stage. In the future, you may even have a chance to become a qi training stage. If you spend your time on these things, Rong Niang, you will be wasting your time."
"Moreover, people in the four seas and eight continents have short life spans, and can only live to about fifty. How can they live longer if they don't practice acupuncture?"
Rong Niang thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, I can practice with you. Your martial arts practice has just started with bone training, and the next step is to train your marrow. I have experience in how to train your marrow, so I can help you practice martial arts. Master also passed on the tricks of blood training to me. This way, your practice will be much easier, and I won't fall behind in my cultivation."
"That makes sense." Li Yi pondered, "However, speaking of cultivation, I remembered something."
He actually wanted to try whether the warriors in this world could enter into a state of meditation and practice to become evolvers.
Although the cosmic energy in this world is relatively thin and not as strong as that on Earth, it is still possible to practice because the cosmic energy is not polluted. And most importantly, the practice methods on Earth can prolong life, while also improving physical potential and helping with breakthroughs in martial arts.
"Brother, what did you remember?" Rong Niang asked curiously.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Regarding the matter of cultivation, we will talk about it later. There is no rush now. I can do my own thing with peace of mind after I finish Master's matter."
"Then, senior brother, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" Rong Niang asked again.
Li Yi agreed immediately: "Of course no problem, Rong Niang, you will come to my place in the future and help me practice. By the way, I also have some things that I need you to help me prove."
"Great."
Rong Niang was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Li Yi didn't think too much about it. He rode his horse and took Rong Niang back to the Jin family martial arts hall.
Although the gate of the Jin family martial arts school was smashed by his punch last time, a new gate has been installed in the past few days, and the plaque has been replaced with the old plaque of the Zhao family martial arts school. Moreover, the martial arts school is bustling with people coming and going, and there is a feeling of prosperity.
"It's Senior Brother and Rong Niang. They're back."
"Big Brother is back, hurry up, open the door and let Big Brother in."
"I've met senior brother."
As soon as they arrived at the door, several guarding disciples became excited and saluted Li Yi respectfully with their fists clasped.
Li Yi was a stranger to these disciples and they had never seen him before, but they all recognized Li Yi, and when they saw Li Yi, their eyes were filled with admiration and awe.
You have to know that their eldest senior brother killed three masters of Qi training in one day, and even suppressed the city lord with one punch so that he didn't dare to go out, and he conquered the entire Sanyang City by himself.
Such people can be called living legends, and people will still talk about today's story even decades later.
Li Yi nodded and said hello: "Thank you for your hard work, fellow apprentices."
Rong Niang's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head slightly and dared not say a word. After all, she was now riding on the same horse with Li Yi. Although they were brothers and sisters who shared life and death, there was still a difference between men and women, and it would not be good to be seen by other people.
As soon as Li Yi got off the horse, a disciple came over and took the horse away. He thanked him and went into the martial arts hall with Rong Niang.
However, as soon as they left, the disciples at the door started talking.
"Did you see that Senior Sister Rong Niang seems to have a close relationship with Senior Brother. She was riding a horse when she came here just now." said a disciple.
"Don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister Rongniang is gentle and generous, and Senior Brother is a hero. Isn't it natural for them to be together? Besides, Senior Brother lives alone and needs someone to take care of him. It's a pity that my little sister got married early, otherwise it would be great if my little sister could be a maid beside Senior Brother."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and cheer up. Master is refining medicine in there today, be careful of someone messing around."
Immediately, a martial artist who practiced blood came over and scolded. His name was Yuan Tianfei and he had a high seniority in the Zhao family martial arts school. Thanks to Li Yi's arrival, he survived from the Jin family's dungeon. After a few days of recuperation, he was able to move around.
After being scolded by Yuan Tianfei, everyone immediately shut up.
Rong Niang took Li Yi towards the backyard of the martial arts hall. Along the way, many disciples were patrolling and guarding. When they saw Li Yi, they immediately stopped and respectfully called him "senior brother".
Obviously, although Li Yi is a newcomer, his prestige in the Zhao's Martial Arts School is very high, even surpassing his master Zhao Ge.
After arriving at the backyard, I saw a copper alchemy furnace in the middle of the backyard. There was a blazing fire under the furnace, burning some unknown wood, which actually emitted a strange fragrance. Next to the furnace was a pharmacist in his sixties, who was paying close attention to the movements in the furnace and adding medicinal materials from time to time.
"This Soul-Restoring Pill is a rare item and not easy to make. Not many people can make it. After all, it is rare for the soul to be injured. But don't worry, Master Zhao. This is the best pharmacist in my Treasure House. I have let him practice three times before refining it. There will be no mistakes."
Shen Shi from Zhenbaofang was also present at the moment, and he spoke with full confidence.
"I hope everything goes well." Zhao Ge stood with his hands behind his back, motionless, his eyes fixed on the flickering fire, his face solemn.
There was only one Coffin Ganoderma, but the weight was sufficient to refine the Resurrection Pill three times. In addition, since they had captured Sanyang City this time, they had no shortage of other ingredients. As long as Zhao Ge was not extremely unlucky, the Resurrection Pill would be successful.
If he fails three times, Zhao Ge will have no choice but to accept his fate.
"Dad, look, it's Brother Yi and Rong Niang who are here."
Zhao Qian's eyes lit up at this moment, and she hurriedly pulled her father, then ran happily in the direction of Li Yilai: "Brother Yi, you are here."
Li Yi smiled and nodded, then spread his hands and said, "Little Junior Sister, it's useless for you to call me so affectionately. I have nothing in my hands and I didn't bring you any gifts."
Zhao Qian smiled sweetly: "It would be the best if Brother Yi could come. I'm not a child. What gift do I need?"
"Master." Li Yi then clasped his fists and bowed respectfully.
"Meng De, you are here. We are all family, no need to be polite."
Zhao Ge smiled when he saw the solemn face, and then said: "You are used to staying in Sanyang City these days, right? Your master took the initiative to let Rong Niang take care of you, so don't blame your master for not notifying you in advance."
"How could that be? I know Master means well. I'm just afraid that I'll delay Master's work. After all, Rong Niang is thorough and we can't do without her to rebuild the martial arts school." Li Yi said.
Zhao Ge shook his head and smiled, "What can happen in the martial arts hall? Even if there is something, this old master can handle it. Please reserve a place for your little sister to stay. She can't stay in the martial arts hall these days and wants to go find you. Meng De, if you have time, please help me take care of her. Although she is a little wild, she still listens to you."
"Daddy."
Zhao Qian blushed immediately after hearing this, but a look of anticipation appeared on her face, and her eyes looked at Li Yi from time to time.
"It's a small matter, no problem. It just so happens that I also want to find a few trustworthy people to guide them in their practice and see if there is any effect." Li Yi said.
Zhao Ge immediately interrupted by waving his hand: "Things like this should be discussed among the three of you in private. Don't talk about it in public, lest it spreads out and causes trouble."
Others may not know, but he understood what Li Yi meant by guidance in cultivation.
In terms of martial arts realm, Rong Niang and Zhao Qian are both practicing marrow training. Li Yi certainly cannot teach them anything. The only thing he can point out is the practice method that does not belong to the four seas and eight continents.
It is hard to say whether this kind of practice is a blessing or a curse, but Zhao Ge will definitely stop this practice at Zhao Qian and Rong Niang, and will not allow them to spread it to others. They must either take it into the coffin, or follow Li Yi to his world in the future.
In short, it cannot appear in all corners of the world.
"Master is right to remind me. I've made note of it." Li Yi nodded seriously.
Although the earth allows the coexistence of multiple methods of cultivation, in the four seas and eight continents, perhaps this method of cultivation is heresy and may bring great trouble.
However, just as the two were chatting.
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud explosion.
The alchemy furnace, which had been working fine before, suddenly made a loud noise and the cover of the furnace was blown off.
The furnace exploded?
The old pharmacist's face turned pale, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
This, this is impossible.
We have rehearsed this several times before, and there will be no chance of the furnace exploding.
Not only he, but everyone else was stunned by this scene.
Looking at the residues of various medicines scattered all over the ground, everyone knew that this first attempt at refining medicine was a failure.
"Who?"
But Li Yi's eyes were shining at this moment, as he saw a sneaky figure hiding in the alchemy furnace at some point, and was not afraid of the fierce fire. He suddenly shouted, his voice like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz, and then he rushed out instantly.
However, the next moment, when he saw the little man in the furnace turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This villain is not a human being, he is a ghost.
That unreal appearance was exactly the same as the ghost I had seen in the mountains before.
But this little man is much more solid, as if he has flesh and blood.
As soon as Li Yi got closer, he saw a lot of invisible white gas like fireworks constantly drilling into the nostrils and mouth of the little man. When he smelled the white gas up close, he felt comfortable all over his body. It had a strong medicinal fragrance, which was actually the essence of the medicine in the alchemy furnace.
This kid is stealing medicine?
