Chapter 27
In the eyes of the shopkeeper, her reaction seemed like she was here to cause trouble. He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his head and explained, “The medicine was indeed taken from our medicine hall, but the prescription was not from our pharmacist Sun. That day, the third young master of the Li family sold a prescription to Young Master Guan here. Young Master Guan used this prescription to get the medicine. At that time, I asked Young Master Guan to tell you the truth when he went back.”
The shopkeeper’s heart said, Young Master Guan definitely didn’t dare to let Madam Guan know the origin of the prescription, so he deliberately concealed it. This was a big misunderstanding. If Young Master Guan drank the medicine and had some bad luck, what would Madam Guan do if she thought their medicine hall was shirking responsibility?
This was really, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of it. If he had known that day, he should have been advised them to go to other medicine halls to get medicine.
“You said that prescription was sold to my son by Li Tianyan?” Madam Guan asked with some doubts on her face, the third young master of the Li family had a sensitive identity now.
Li Tianyan had gained quite a reputation in Jincheng City recently, but no one had said that he could prescribe medicine to treat diseases. Could it be that the prescriptions were obtained from other pharmacists?
“Yes, yes, that’s what happened.” The shopkeeper nodded like a fool, wishing he could swear to the sky.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I wasted my smile in vain. Chun’er, let’s go.” After Madam Guan learned the truth, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She gave the medicine shop manager a blank look and turned around to go out.
When Chun’er saw the madam was gone, she quickly caught up with her things, “Madam, what about these thank you gifts…”
“How stupid, of course we took them back.” Madam Guan didn’t look back. She couldn’t help complaining in her heart, if it was true, how could her son keep this kind of thing from her.
The clerks in the medicine hall were all confused by Madam Guan’s expression that changed at every turn, “They say Madam Guan is fickle, and she really lived up to her reputation when I saw her today.”
The shopkeeper was also confused, it took a while before he realized, “Is it possible that Li Tianyan’s prescription really worked?”
Thinking about this, the shopkeeper secretly slapped his forehead in anger, “There is no way, must be a mistake.”
.
“Move quickly and don’t hesitate. Where’s the carpet? Why hasn’t it been laid yet? Take a look at the table for yourselves. Is it neat? Why don’t you hurry up and get it done? Why should these curtains be replaced with red? The old master likes light gold. Yes, don’t make a mistake.” Grandma Cai kept walking around the banquet hall, carefully checking every detail, fearing that any mistakes would not be discovered.
Seeing that the old master’s birthday was coming in two days, none of the servants in the Li Mansion dared to relax. If anything went wrong on the day of the birthday banquet, they might not be able to escape the old madam’s punishment.
In addition to the hall where the banquet was held, the entire Li Mansion was also decorated with lights and colorfully colours, but the atmosphere in Li Mansion had not affected Qingzhu Courtyard at all, and it was still deserted.
Many people in the Li Mansion knew that Li Tianyan signed the family separation document, and Li Tianyan no longer posed any threat to them. Madam Lin was also too busy to take care of herselves due to the disfigurement. Qingzhu Courtyard seemed to have been forgotten. Others didn’t even bother to mention it.
This was what Li Tianyan wanted. He took medicinal baths every day and occasionally gave Cheng Qi advice on how to become a cultivator. He lived a leisurely life without anyone disturbing him. The most important thing was Cheng Qi’s practice.
It was very worry-free, and many things could be solved easily. Li Tianyan felt very fulfilled when he taught him.
.
On this day, Cheng Qi had just received some enlightenment from Li Tianyan and started to practice in the side room. At night, Li Tianyan suddenly smelled the fragrance that had been lingering around Cheng Qi became very rich.
After noticing something strange, Li Tianyan immediately woke up from his trance. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw black energy pouring out of Cheng Qi’s body.
Li Tianyan frowned slightly after calculating with his fingers. Once the Yin Yuan body entered the path of cultivation, the constitution was easily stimulated, especially when the Yin energy was heavy. But what he didn’t expect was that the explosion would come so quickly.
Li Tianyan was glad there were no cultivators where they were; otherwise, the little shuanger’s physical explosion would probably cause trouble. Just in case, Li Tianyan took out his talisman pen and drew a set of calming talismans around Cheng Qi.
It wasn’t until the last stroke was placed on his eyebrows, that the black energy on Cheng Qi’s body dimmed visibly to the naked eye, and Li Tianyan breathed a sigh of relief.
But he soon discovered that he was happy too early. Although the Yin energy in Cheng Qi’s body was suppressed, the fragrance could not be resisted at all. Even unlike usual, the incoming smell became particularly alluring.
At this moment, Li Tianyan finally understood why the Yin Yuan Body was called the top-level furnace. If a cultivator used him to collect supplements at this time, he would naturally get a lot of benefits. On the other hand, the Yin Yuan Body’s own talent was overstretched and could only be reduced to the cultivator’s fetish.
Li Tianyan knew all this in his heart, but what he didn’t know was the Yin Yuan Body actually had its own intoxicating scent when it exploded. Was this because he was afraid that no one would come and attack him?
In order not to be confused by the fragrance, Li Tianyan could only keep reciting the Pure Heart Mantra silently to keep himself awake. However, as time went by, the fragrance not only did not fade away but became more and more arrogant, until it finally broke out completely out of Cheng Qi’s body. The talisman on his body could no longer be suppressed, and the Yin energy was released along with it.
At this time, Cheng Qi also felt uncomfortable. He only felt that there was hot air and cold air competing with each other in his body. His whole body seemed to be in deep water.
His body was also extremely uncomfortable being stretched by these two air currents, but he felt like he was drowning. The victim was generally unable to save himself and could only breathe with difficulty with his mouth slightly open.
He didn’t know how much time passed, but Cheng Qi suddenly felt as if his lips had touched something warm. The cold air in his body was sucked away bit by bit, and even the hot feeling was temporarily relieved.
Cheng Qi, who had tasted the sweetness, immediately felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He clung to the things in front of him with his hands and feet, fearing it would run away, and he would be back in the same situation where he had no way to ask for help.
Li Tianyan was almost choked by the person who took the initiative to embrace him, but he did not dare to push the person away at this time. He could only keep running the Five Elements Technique to digest the Yin energy absorbed from Cheng Qi.
For a moment just now, he was overcome by the infatuated fragrance and lost consciousness for a short time. When he came back to his senses, he found that the two of them were touching each other, and Cheng Qi’s Yin energy also spread from their lips. After entering his body, Li Tianyan instinctively ran the Five Elements Technique to expel this Yin energy.
Unexpectedly, these Yin energy would actively transform into a new energy. After sinking into his Dantian, it would form a black air mass, competing with the other five air masses of different colors. As the Yin energy absorbed from Cheng Qi became more and more, it grew, the more the black air mass gradually expanded, until it finally stopped when the black air mass grew to three times the size of the others.
Everything in the room seemed to be still, and the two people hugging each other were motionless. It could only be seen the black energy surrounding them being absorbed by one of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
.
As soon as Cheng Qi’s body returned to normal, he couldn’t wait to open his eyes, wondering what had saved him just now. However, what caught his eyes was Li Tianyan’s enlarged face. Cheng Qi thought he was delusional.
Li Tianyan couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment after seeing Cheng Qi’s appearance clearly. Maybe the Yin energy in Cheng Qi’s body had been drained out by him just now, and the birthmark on his face were nowhere to be seen.
No longer covered by the black birthmark, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes were exposed, making this fair face instantly vivid. The bright red pregnancy mole on the left eye made her childish look very charming, adding a bit of color to the face.
Beautiful and coquettish, appeared on the same face at the same time. Even though Li Tianyan had seen many beautiful female cultivators in the past, he was still amazed by the appearance in front of him.
It took a while for Cheng Qi to finally react. He quickly retracted his hands and feet from Li Tianyan and stood up with an awkward look on his face, “Young master, I didn’t mean to do it.”
“Yes.” Restrained, Li Tianyan took a step back and stood up straight with an expressionless expression.
“Then I’ll go back to bed first.” Cheng Qi put on his shoes in embarrassment and quickly slipped out of Li Tianyan’s room.
Li Tianyan watched Cheng Qi’s figure disappear before finally exhaling. However, the little shuanger was promoted to the second level of Qi Condensation in the explosion just now. Judging from his reaction, he probably didn’t realize it yet.
The lingering scent of infatuation in the room had dissipated. Li Tianyan should have settled down as quickly as possible to digest the cloud of Yin energy he had just breathed in, but that night he sat in bed and recited the Pure Heart Mantra all night long.
