Liu Qingyan helped Bi Xinyu and Mo Lan remove the poison, then took them back. Meanwhile, everyone else had changed clothes and packed up.
“I originally just wanted to take sister Mo Lan to find a comfortable place to heal. Unexpectedly, we ran into you, and you saved our lives.”
Bi Xinyu smiled. “Great kindness needs no thanks. If you need anything in the future, just say the word. Also, as I often move in the deep forests, I will send more medicinal materials to Renxin Hall later.”
Mo Lan was not good with words. She just said faintly, “I will keep an eye on her. I will only let her go to Renxin Hall, not to Tongyi Alley.”
Bi Xinyu rolled her eyes at her unhappily. “I risked my life to bring you out. Is this how you repay me?”
Mo Lan gave her a sideways glance and said nothing.
Bi Xinyu pouted. Then she cupped her hands to bid farewell to everyone and left with Mo Lan.
…
“That centipede spirit said he has a master?”
“Yes.”
“Will he…”
“Not all demons have soul tablets. He is dead. Who knows who killed him? Who will his master seek revenge from?”
“Oh, right.”
“So that is why he begged for mercy first, then threatened.”
“I see.”
“Forget him. Just talk about Baiyun Temple. Almost every few years, a direct disciple goes missing or dies. No one knows who the enemy is.”
“Yes. For example, that Leng Jian. His cave is in Wanfu County. It would be extremely difficult to investigate clearly. He even got two old demons killed here. That is tragic too.”
“The Zhenyi Division said they would take action against the entire Duyu Mountain. I do not know if they did.”
“I do not know. That is the affair of the northern provinces. It is too far away.”
…
The next day after returning to Tonglin County, Bi Xinyu and Mo Lan entered the city.
Although the two women often moved in the deep mountains, they did enter the human world. Bi Xinyu especially loved watching plays!
Otherwise, her acting skills would not be so good.
She wore a graceful green floral dewdrop silk pleated skirt. Her curves were exquisite, her waist slender. As she walked, it swayed like willow branches. Her head-turning rate was almost one hundred per cent.
Mo Lan had a petite figure and an arrogant expression. She looked at people with nostrils up. Her eyes were cold and indifferent. Ordinary people really did not dare approach.
The two arrived at Renxin Hall. They just saw Liu Qingyan prescribe medicine for a patient and complete the consultation.
“Miss Bi, Miss Mo.”
“Sister Liu.”
Although Bi Xinyu and Mo Lan were probably older than Liu Qingyan, in the absence of family ties, Liu Qingyan had higher cultivation. Naturally, she was the sister.
The two women greeted old man Liu. Then they followed Liu Qingyan into the inner room.
As soon as they entered the inner room, Bi Xinyu’s eyes flickered. She grabbed Liu Qingyan and leaned in quietly. She reached into her bosom. “This is a treasure I have kept for a long time. Taking it out this time, sister will surely enjoy it.”
“What?” Liu Qingyan blinked. She saw Bi Xinyu take out a plant…
Immortal Spirit Spleen!
She drew in a sharp breath.
Liu Qingyan sucked in a breath of cold air. It had a full eight hundred years or more of medicinal power. It was an Immortal Spirit Spleen that had entered the spiritual medicine category?
Seeing Liu Qingyan’s shock, Bi Xinyu just chuckled. “My dear sister, I originally kept this for myself. But since I have no way to repay the life-saving grace, I will give this to sister. Have Young Master Lu take it. I guarantee you will enjoy the greatest pleasures of the human world in the future.”
Liu Qingyan felt her mouth dry and tongue parched. She wanted to refuse but could not speak.
“Take it.”
Mo Lan said faintly from the side. “Now that we know where you are, if you do not take it, who knows when she will drug your husband.”
“Go away. Am I that kind of person?”
Bi Xinyu raised her fair neck. “Do I even need Immortal Spirit Spleen? With my snake venom, there is no man in the world who can resist!”
Liu Qingyan snatched the Immortal Spirit Spleen. She thought that with this medicine and that big centipede soaked in wine, plus some century-old medicinal materials, after taking it, she might have more resistance to Bi Xinyu’s snake venom.
What? The effects brought by the snake venom?
Do not joke. After drinking this medicinal wine, normal combat power would double!
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan felt her legs go a bit weak. She almost revealed her tail.
After putting away the Immortal Spirit Spleen, Liu Qingyan composed herself. She chatted with the two women. Casually, she learned that Bi Xinyu loved listening to plays. But her cave was closer to Yuhe County. So she usually went to Yuhe County.
“What a coincidence. Yixing and Cainiang sometimes come to chat and listen to plays with me. If Miss Bi is interested, you can join too.” Liu Qingyan invited.
“Great!”
Bi Xinyu licked her lips. “I wonder if there are any handsome young men in Tonglin County?”
Liu Qingyan’s smile froze. She did not expect Bi Xinyu to be the same type as Hu Cainiang.
…
After seeing off Bi Xinyu and the other, Liu Qingyan could not wait until evening. She took the Immortal Spirit Spleen and other supplementary medicines. She hurried back to Tongyi Alley.
“Qingyan?”
Seeing Liu Qingyan appear, Lu Zheng was quite surprised. She was usually very dedicated. She rarely left on ordinary days.
“Lu lang.”
Liu Qingyan came to Lu Zheng. “Have you soaked that centipede in wine yet?”
“Not yet.” Lu Zheng replied. “I was going to get some supplementary medicines from Renxin Hall before soaking.”
Liu Qingyan nodded. “Miss Bi came this morning and brought a supplementary medicine. I also got some auxiliary drugs. We can soak it in wine.”
“Oh? She came again this morning?” Lu Zheng asked curiously. “Did she not say she has no spiritual medicines now?”
“This is from her cave’s collection.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lu Zheng nodded. He felt that Liu Qingyan’s behaviour was a bit off.
The two went to the cellar together. They took a jar of twenty jin high-proof Wuliangye.
Liu Qingyan shook her head. “The medicinal power is too strong and the wine too little. After three days, we need to change the wine.”
Lu Zheng nodded. Back then, the scorpion wine was the same. They changed one jar every three days. They soaked a full ten jars before the medicinal power was exhausted.
This time, this Red-patterned giant centipede was even more powerful. It had three to four hundred years of cultivation. Its medicinal properties were much stronger than that mother scorpion. It could probably soak at least thirty jars.
Lu Zheng patted the gourd. He took out the big centipede.
The centipede was six inches long. It had a hundred legs. Its black body had three red stripes from head to tail. They were shaped like blazing fire.
“What medicines to add?” Lu Zheng asked.
Liu Qingyan’s face flushed red. She put down and opened the bundle in her hand. She removed the cover. The spiritual medicine’s aroma instantly spread.
He drew in a sharp breath.
Lu Zheng had also added quite a bit of qi transport light to his medical skills. How could he not recognise this eight-hundred-year Immortal Spirit Spleen?
The other auxiliary medicines were to fuse the centipede’s and Immortal Spirit Spleen’s powers. They would allow them to stack for an effect greater than two.
Lu Zheng finally understood why Liu Qingyan was acting strange earlier. “Do you feel the nights are too easy?”
“No… not…” Liu Qingyan stammered excuses. “But this medicinal wine is also good for your cultivation.”
One was a hundred-year great demon. One was a thousand-year spiritual medicine. Of course, it was good for cultivation. But if he dared send this wine to Baiyun Temple, Daoist Mingzhang would probably beat him to death.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath. He soaked the centipede and various medicines in.
Then…
He scooped Liu Qingyan up horizontally. He strode to the main bedroom in the back.
“Lu lang! What are you doing?”
“What do you think?”
“It is still daytime!”
“So what?”
“Do not… mmm…”
…
“Tail… tail…”
“Good girl, show your ears too.”
“No… do not…”
“If you do not, three days later I will only call you~”
“Mmm…”
