As he said this, his father suddenly paused.
Playing coy again?
Li Qianfan was extremely speechless. These intentional acts of playing coy suddenly made him feel that his never-before-met father was somewhat unreliable.
It was only a pause of a few seconds, but his father’s voice rang out again, and this time it became much more serious. He said, "Inside the Demon Egg, there is an unexpected treasure that you will definitely love, but the method to hatch it is somewhat difficult. That is to collect the powers of the twenty-four solar terms."
"And the power of the solar terms can only be found in women born on the day of the solar term. As long as you have a relationship with a woman who possesses the power of the solar terms, you can extract the power from their body. After collecting all twenty-four powers, you can hatch the Demon Egg."
"Moreover, after it is successfully hatched, it will guide you to find me and your mother. Keep it up, son, this is the most important task you need to complete so far."
With that, his father’s voice abruptly stopped and disappeared without a trace.
"???"
These words left Li Qianfan full of question marks, sitting in place. The first two gifts had been clearly explained by his father—one could assist his cultivation, the other allowed him to remain virile, making him the man of the night twelve times over.
But the explanation for the third gift left him extremely helpless. Why not clearly say what’s inside the Demon Egg? Curiosity could kill someone!
It seems that his father truly wasn’t reliable!
However, his father’s last words instantly filled Li Qianfan with vigor.
After hatching the Demon Egg, it would guide him in finding his parents.
In that case, he must quickly collect the twenty-four powers of the solar terms, hatch the Demon Egg, and then embark on the journey to find his parents.
But there was a problem: the power of the solar terms can only be found in women. This meant he needed to be with at least twenty-four women born on the days of the solar terms.
That was no easy task!
But to find his parents, no matter how difficult, he must complete it.
Determination unwavering, Li Qianfan’s face showed resolute determination as he closed his eyes and examined the Demon Egg again, only to find that there were twenty-four empty slots on its surface.
Presumably, each power collected could fill one of these corresponding slots.
Then, Li Qianfan recalled the other two gifts, and with a thought, the formulas for Spirit Gathering Liquid and Yang Strengthening Pill appeared in his mind.
Spirit Gathering Liquid was a marvelous thing for cultivators; bathing in it over time not only altered one’s constitution but also strengthened the physical body, and most importantly, it contained a large amount of Spiritual Energy which greatly helped cultivators break through barriers.
However, seeing the ingredients needed caused Li Qianfan to frown slightly. A total of a hundred herbs were required, and among these, at least twenty were very rare, especially since the crafting of Spirit Gathering Liquid required a thousand-year-old ginseng as a catalyst.
The mere thought of this thousand-year-old ginseng terrified him; he had seen on TV that such ginseng was priceless and not just something money could buy.
In addition to so many rare herbs, the cost of crafting a bottle of Spirit Gathering Liquid was unimaginable.
"Of course, I will!"
Li Qianfan hardly hesitated and immediately nodded in agreement. For him, this was a great opportunity to win over Hu Li, and he must cherish it.
"Tomorrow then, I’m busy today!"
Earlier, Li Qianfan had made plans with Hong Jiumei to go to her house tonight. Now that they had become involved, there was no so-called shyness, and they would certainly have a wild night.
Tonight was for sure to compensate for the regrets left in the office.
"Okay, then tomorrow." Hu Li nodded gently and said, "It just so happens I have a day off tomorrow, so find an excuse to leave work early. I’ll prepare a meal at home and wait for you."
"Your husband and I just fought. Will he agree to you inviting me to dinner?"
Li Qianfan asked with a smile.
After all, he had beaten Liu Yunchuan twice. A normal man would undoubtedly feel disgraced and while he might not seek crazy revenge, he definitely would not easily forgive him.
"After you beat him up last time, he disappeared and hasn’t returned home yet. And he often likes to disappear, each time for ten days to half a month, so don’t worry about him."
Hu Li spoke very relaxedly, looking quite happy with Liu Yunchuan not being at home.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Their marital relationship was poor and since Liu Yunchuan was prone to domestic violence, what woman would want such a man to be at home often?
It’s better if he’s dead outside!
Li Qianfan chuckled and said, "Alright, then I’ll come to your house for dinner tomorrow." Stay updated through empire
As the two were chatting, the door was pushed open by Sun Qian. She glanced around at the technicians; her eyes finally resting on Li Qianfan, she said, "Li Qianfan, a customer has arrived, it’s your turn."
"Right away!"
Hearing about the incoming customer, you couldn’t imagine how excited Li Qianfan was. Having the Demon Egg inside him, any customer made him full of anticipation.
You never know which customer might possess the Power of the Solar Terms he needed!
"Sister Li, I’m going to attend to the customer now," Li Qianfan said as he picked up his case and walked out of the break room.
Normally, Sun Qian would quickly return to the front desk after calling out, but today she stood at the door waiting for Li Qianfan, and then they went to the customer’s private room together.
"Why aren’t you going to work and following me instead?"
Li Qianfan was very surprised and asked.
"A Fan, I just searched on Baidu. Someone said that if a man’s length reaches fifteen centimeters and can last for half an hour, he can make a woman obey!"
The naive Sun Qian, with a blushing face, softly asked Li Qianfan, "I really want to know, how big are you? And how long can you last?"
