Chapter 22: Fame Gradually Spreads
Yinxian Peak is incomparable to the famous mountain Daze, but the reason why the original owner Master chose to live in seclusion here is because of the quiet environment, waterfalls and clear springs, which are very pleasant.
It was mid-afternoon, the sun was high in the sky, but the trees in the mountains were lush and the breeze was blowing, which was quite refreshing.
"This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters. No wonder Xu Fangshi lived here in seclusion."
"Alchemist Xu's Medicine Pill has miraculous effects. When my grandmother was alive in the past, she also took it and praised it as a wonderful medicine. Now Alchemist Xu's disciples are even better than his master. I wonder if I can get the elixir?"
"Disciple Xu Fangshi has achieved enlightenment and can control thunder and lightning. He is truly an enlightened immortal!!!"
"When I saw him that day, I knew that the Immortal Transcendent was not ordinary. The mountains and fields were cold and silent. I have a young girl in my family, who could be my concubine?"
"Now the First Emperor is seeking immortality, and soon the reputation of Immortal Li Jing will surely spread to his ears. If one or two children can worship him, it will be a blessing."
"Immortal Li is pregnant with immortal magic. I wonder if he knows how to use the elixir of immortality. I have some knowledge of Alchemy and would like to discuss the elixir with him."
…
Among the mountain roads, Yinxian Peak has never been more lively. Many gentlemen and families from nearby villages appeared here. Everyone talked to each other, and there were a group of servants following behind carrying gifts of various sizes.
The flow of people meandered from the foot of the mountain to the mountain. It was quite a scene and there were many people coming.
Obviously, not only the people who saw Li Jing performing thunder magic yesterday came, but also many rural gentry and noble families who heard about Li Jing's deeds also came to visit.
At this time, Li Jing was sitting cross-legged under the eaves of the corridor practicing, and the thirty-six Spiritual Qi vortexes in his body were rotating rapidly, continuously helping Li Jing gather and refine the mysterious energy with a radius of more than ten feet.
At this time, in Li Jing's body, the color of the lavender mist-like True Qi is getting darker and darker, and is about to turn into pure purple.
"Huhu~"
As Li Jing breathed and inhaled, the purple energy surrounding her body was also flowing endlessly, and her whole body was shrouded in a faint twilight.
"Is there no one in the mansion?"
"After getting closer to the courtyard, I suddenly felt that the air was fresher and more comfortable. It's really magical!"
"Knocked on the door, but no one seemed to answer."
Many rural gentlemen and clans finally came to the mountain, stood in front of the courtyard, and started talking about it.
Someone sent a servant to knock on the door, but found no one responded and had to stop.
But at this time, someone finally discovered that the air near the courtyard was exceptionally comfortable and pleasant, as if the lungs felt refreshed and comfortable.
In fact, when he was in Lufu before, although Li Jing reduced the influence of the Spiritual Qi vortex, many people noticed this phenomenon, but the scene was lively at that time and no one took it seriously.
However, here now, many people present noticed the difference.
And they found that the dividing line was very obvious. As long as they took one more step away from the wall of the courtyard, the fresh feeling of the air would disappear immediately.
Within three meters of the courtyard, you can clearly feel the different atmosphere.
"The place where immortals live is indeed different from ordinary places!"
"Is this the breath of Immortal Qi? I often feel out of breath, but now I feel much more comfortable, both physically and mentally."
This discovery immediately caused a lot of excitement among the crowd. Many people came forward to experience it and marveled. They felt that the Immortal Qi entered their bodies and their stubborn illnesses seemed to have subsided a lot.
In fact, this is only the outermost mysterious material energy range, and it is impossible to have such a big effect in just a short time.
In addition to breathing some mysterious material energy, many people have more of a psychological effect.
Time passed bit by bit, and there was still no movement in the courtyard. Finally, some people began to become unable to sit still.
"Did Li Xianren not come back from Lu Mansion yet?"
Some people couldn't help but wonder.
"It shouldn't be. I've already inquired about it. Li Xianren left the Lu Mansion yesterday evening."
At this time, someone retorted because they had gone to Lu Mansion to inquire about it before coming.
"Perhaps Li Xianren went to another place?"
Someone was unsure.
In fact, some people have thought about whether Li Jing would be the one thanking guests behind closed doors.
But thinking that Li Jing went to the Lu Mansion for a banquet yesterday, he must be as happy as Xu Fangshi to make friends with the country gentlemen!
Alchemists have always taken the upper-level route, and Mudlegs has no money to provide the alchemists with various pill refining needs.
Therefore, this is a natural relationship, and ordinary alchemists will not refuse visits from others, and are even happy to spread their reputation and attract the attention of more dignitaries.
But they looked at Li Jing like an ordinary alchemist, which was obviously a big mistake.
Li Jing naturally knew about the arrival of these people, but Li Jing did not want to negotiate with them. Li Jing wanted to have wealth and prosperity at his fingertips. So many people and so many receptions would only waste time and be of no benefit.
And when it comes to things like reputation, having it or not having it makes no difference to Li Jing.
Finally, in the evening, I saw that there was no movement in the courtyard, and many rural gentlemen and families had to leave one after another.
For the next few days, there was an endless stream of people visiting Li Jing, but unfortunately none of them could see Li Jing.
However, the strange things about the place where Li Jing lived were publicized, which directly supported Li Jing's reputation and became even louder, and everyone in the surrounding counties heard about it.
He practiced behind closed doors for several days.
But this morning, after taking in the first ray of purple energy from the sunrise, Li Jing finally experienced new changes in her body.
