Lil Man thought about it in a daze. She stretched out an arm and suddenly transformed into a thick vine.
This vine was very strong. In a short while, the thickest part had already expanded to thirty feet thick.
“I feel like my body has become much stronger than before. Moreover, the speed at which he absorbed energy was much faster than before. It was as if all the spiritual apertures in his body had been opened.”
Li Yuanqing saw that the effect of this drop of water was actually so good. He took out another drop and mixed it with a bowl of herbal juice for Lil Man to consume.
After Lil Man drank the potion, she gently wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth and slowly closed her eyes.
A red flush rushed up in a moment, first on Xiao Man’s cheeks, then the red gradually spread, dyeing her entire body red.
In a short while, Xiao Man’s entire body had turned red, and her eyes were becoming more and more blurred. She was in a daze, and her body seemed to be unable to sit still.
“Master… People…”
Lil Man’s voice grew weaker and weaker. In the end, she simply could not hold on any longer. Her eyelids closed as she lay on the ground and fell asleep just like that.
This situation was exactly the same as the two little fellows from yesterday. Li Yuanqing had thought that since they could absorb it so smoothly, he would give them more medicinal effects. In the end, he did not expect it to be counterproductive. Even Lil Man could not withstand such a powerful medicinal effect.
But at least he knew that Lil Man would have a very good effect after consuming the Divine Source Water. That was enough.
At this moment, a signal suddenly came from outside.
Li Yuanqing’s figure flashed and appeared in the medicinal field.
At the entrance of the valley, Zhao Baoyun appeared with a ragged old man.
“Martial Uncle Wang, aren’t you joking? This Fire Spirit Fruit can only grow so big. Our sect has already tried our best to nurture it. So many pharmacists have worked hard for so many years, but we have never heard of anyone who can grow the Fire Spirit Fruit to the size of a person.”
Zhao Baoyun looked at this old man with a bitter face. Although he had made some very unreasonable requests, he could not do anything about it. This old man had a deep relationship with the sect.
The old man turned around and glared at Zhao Baoyun.”Would I lie to you?”
Zhao Baoyun waved his hand and said,”Uncle Master Wang, I didn’t mean it that way!” What I mean is, is it possible that it’s some other medicinal herb that’s faking it? The Fire Spirit Fruit can only grow so big, it’s absolutely impossible for it to be that big.”
Li Yuanqing’s expression froze when he saw the old man.
This old fellow was none other than the alchemist Wang Lan who had bought his two giant Fire Spirit Fruits at the auction yesterday.
This Wang Lan was a person that everyone in the black market respected. How did she come here?
Could it be that this old fellow had already discovered his identity, or had followed his scent and come over?
Li Yuanqing didn’t know, but looking at the two of them, perhaps things weren’t as bad as he thought.
“Senior Brother Zhao!”
Li Yuanqing pretended to be relaxed and walked in front of Zhao Baoyun and the others, greeting them.
Zhao Baoyun waved his hands repeatedly and called Li Yuanqing over.
“Martial Uncle Wang, look, he’s new here. He’s the lookout for this herb garden. If you want to do something, just instruct him.”
When Wang Lan saw Li Yuanqing, his eyes widened. He stared at Li Yuanqing from head to toe several times.
Li Yunqing cursed in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Zhao Baoyun looked at Wang Lan strangely and asked,””Martial Uncle, have you seen Junior Brother Li before?”
The old man paused for a moment before he returned to his usual carefree appearance. He picked up the big gourd and gulped down a mouthful.”How would I know your disciples?”
Zhao Baoyun scratched his head awkwardly.” That’s right. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Although Junior Brother has just arrived, he is still very serious. If you have anything to say, just greet him. I still have something to say.”
Wang Lan waved her hand indifferently and said to him,”If you want to get lost, then get lost. Don’t dawdle with me.”
“Martial Uncle, what are you talking about?”Zhao Baoyun said somewhat awkwardly,” I am indeed in the sect and have some important matters to attend to. I really can’t accompany Uncle-Master to investigate the matter of the Fire Spirit Fruit.”
“Alright, I don’t mean to blame you. If you have to leave, then leave. I want to stay here for the next few days.”
Li Yuanqing’s expression stiffened. He wanted to speak up and stop her, but he clearly had no right to do so.
“Martial Uncle, look at what you’re saying. You’re an old friend of the sect. It’s fine for you to stay here for as long as you want. I’ll go back and inform Master that no one will disturb you in the future.”
Li Yuanqing’s eyes twitched slightly. Why didn’t this old man plan to leave? From what he said, could it be that he still had to stay here for ten days to half a month?
“It won’t be that long. I’m not someone who doesn’t do anything all day. Three to five days is enough.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.”
After Zhao Baoyun finished speaking, he carefully pulled Li Yuanqing to the side and instructed,”Junior Brother, this old senior is a distinguished guest of the sect. You should greet him well. No matter what request he has, you should try your best to satisfy him, understand?”
“Is this old gentleman an elder in the sect?” Li Yuanqing asked curiously.”
“It’s not that Martial Uncle Wang is an itinerant cultivator. Because he had some interactions with the sect before, he often walked around the sect. Most importantly, Martial Uncle Wang was also an Alchemist of the Alchemy Pavilion, so he had to be respectful and not be neglected.”
“Alchemy Pavilion?”
Zhao Baoyun looked at Li Yuanqing’s confused expression and knew that Li Yuanqing might not have heard of the Alchemy Pavilion. Then, he thought about how this kid had been in the lower realm, so it made sense.
“Isn’t your master an alchemist? Did Master never mention anything about the Alchemy Pavilion to you?”
“Senior Brother, I haven’t been with Master for long, so there are many things that Master hasn’t told me.”
“Forget it. It’s better for you to know less about these things now. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to serve this old senior well. Then, everything can be discussed.”
When Li Yuanqing heard this, his eyes instantly lit up. With fewer offerings, wouldn’t he have more room for maneuver?
Zhao Baoyun left in a hurry after giving a few simple instructions. Although he said that he respected Wang Lan, it was hard to tell that he really liked this sloppy old man.
Li Yuanqing looked at the old man who was squatting in the field and staring blankly at the Fire Spirit Fruit. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
He didn’t know if this old man had discovered his secret. When this old man came in just now, his expression was clearly not right.
Just as Li Yuanqing was thinking about it, Wang Lan suddenly stretched out a hand and waved at him without looking back.
Although Li Yuanqing had a grudge in his heart, he still obediently walked over and stood behind Wang Lan.
The place where the old man was squatting was none other than the place where Li Yuanqing had moved the Fire Spirit Fruit.
The Fire Spirit Fruits were already growing very fast and would soon fill up the empty space. However, this place was still caught by Wang Lan.
“Senior, do you have any instructions?”
Li Yuanqing carefully watched Wang Lan’s back.
Wang Lan pointed at the empty space and asked,””Little fellow, do you know how this place was vacated?”
Li Yuanqing coughed lightly and replied,””Senior, this is because I failed to do my job and accidentally poured too much spirit liquid into it, causing the Fire Spirit Fruit to drown. Senior has already punished me.”
“Too much spirit liquid?”
The old man stroked his chin and pondered. At this moment, his serious expression made him look like a normal person..
