Chapter 5: Taoist
The evening wind blew past, and Li Qingjun, who was drenched and unable to channel her true qi, trembled slightly, but Qin Yi turned a blind eye and didn’t have any intention of taking care of her.
Li Qingjun also gritted her teeth to persist in the cold as she picked up the rabbit on the ground, “I fed it with the poison I brought with me, but it can’t be cured with your so-called pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. Give me an explanation!”
Qin Yi laughed, “Selling medicine at the foot of the mountain is only for this mountain. What does a poison from the outside have to do with me? Should the African swine fever also be blamed on me?”
Li Qingjun automatically filtered the incomprehensible Africa. She said angrily, “I knew you were going to say that, so are you able to detoxify it? If you can’t detoxify it, you’re just a liar without medical knowledge.”
Qin Yi took the rabbit and found that the rabbit was as stiff as iron.
“It’s not poisoned at all, but a kind of alchemy that makes muscles stiff like gold stone. If people take it in wartime, it will be beneficial, but there will be some after-effects.” Qin Yi threw the rabbit away casually, “The effect of the medicine will disappear on its own in half an hour. What else do you want me to do? Should I give it a massage to eliminate the after-effect? I think let it be, the stiff ones are actually quite good...”
Li Qingjun stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.
In short, it was her own whim. She was mad that her brother accompanied her nominally on the journey to seek immortal, but in reality, he had other plans, making her enthusiastic journey to seek immortals seem like a child’s play. She couldn’t stand it, so she deliberately tried to prove her brother’s mistake.
But it seems... brother was right.
This gold stone powder is prepared by State Preceptor Dong Huazi, and it is not something ordinary apothecaries can understand. This Qin Yi recognized at a glance. He is indeed a reclusive taoist.
As soon as her anger was relieved, Li Qingjun suddenly felt cold. She shivered while curling up on the chair with her arms folded. The white liquid was still dripping down from the tip of her hair. There were spots on her face. Her hair was messy, looking very helpless.
Just when Qin Yi thought the little girl was about to cry, she stood up and said slowly, “Sorry, I misunderstood Sir Qin.”
After speaking, she turned around abruptly and strode out with the spear in her hand. Her slender back was as straight as a spear. FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com
“A very unyielding little girl.” Liu Su complained in the sea of ??consciousness, “She has sore muscles and can’t channel true qi, yet she won’t ask you to relieve her. She just goes out like this like she isn’t afraid of being eaten up by wolves. Hey, are you a eunuch? Aren’t you going to do anything?”
These words reminded Qin Yi, and he said, “Miss, please wait.”
Li Qingjun paused and said calmly, “Could it be that sir wants compensation?”
“My humble house provides accommodation services, hot tea and herbal bath barrels that soothes muscles and bones. It also invigorates blood circulation and unblocks veins. Only 3 silver coins per night.”
Li Qingjun didn’t expect Qin Yi to have such an attitude. Subconsciously, she was about to refuse, but when the cold wind hit her, she couldn’t help but sneeze. Thinking that the mountains were not safe, and the way to find his brother in this state was dangerous, she held back her refusal.
After a moment of silence, she took out an ingot of crushed silver and put it on the stone table in the courtyard. She walked into the room from Qin Yi’s side with no expression on her face, “Shopkeeper, get me some water.”
Qin Yi turned his head to see her entering the room, and he couldn’t help laughing, “Awkward little girl.”
Liu Su sneered, “An awkward man.”
Watching the door close, Qin Yi lowered his voice, “What’s awkward about me?”
“Who still takes a mace to the bathtub?”
Unexpectedly, she and her elder brother had the same idea. Li Qingjun herself wanted to laugh a little, but she turned her face stoic again. This Qin Yi offends me so much; I won’t let him go easily!
She finally got up, took a set of men’s clothes from the package and put it on. As she tied the belt, she was a handsome young man again.
Walking out of the guest room, Qin Yi really didn’t sleep. He was sitting in the courtyard, dispensing medicine under the moonlight. She could vaguely hear him talking to himself, “Actually, I can ask Third Brother Zhang to bring purple lotus root back when he goes to the county. I don’t have to go by myself...”
After a pause, he said to himself again, “Alchemy furnace? Well... it is everywhere, right...”
Having said that, he suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look at the place where Li Qingjun was standing.
As the breeze was blowing, Li Qingjun’s clothes fluttered lightly. Her hair was wet from the bath. Although she was dressed in men’s clothing, she could no longer hide her girly look. But she had a pair of very heroic eyes. With a long spear, her figure was tall and straight. She had a pride and awe that was different from ordinary girls.
She is actually a very pretty girl...
Qin Yi’s eyes moved as he asked, “Aren’t you resting yet?”
Li Qingjun said with a straight face, “You’re short of medicinal materials and a good alchemy furnace, right?”
“So what?”
“The alchemy furnace for your personal use may not be satisfactory even if someone gives it to you. In addition, your financial resources...” Li Qingjun looked around while showing a mocking smile, “I’m afraid you can’t afford many things you need. “
“What does it have to do with you?”
“I... I hire you to be my apothecary. You only need to serve me as the young master and refine medicine for me. Whatever you need, my family will take care of it.”
“Nuts.” Qin Yi rolled his eyes, “You even called yourself the young master. You haven’t been hung enough, have you?”
“You!”
“By the way, if I say that what I need is you, will your family provide it?”
Li Qingjun looked livid, “Qin Yi, do you know what you are talking about?”
“I don’t know.” Qin Yi said, “Being taken care of is supposed to include warming the bed. You want to take care of, but you don’t want to warm bed for me. A person with professional ethics like me will feel bad about it, so forget it. “
Li Qingjun resisted the urge to stab with a spear as she turned around and slammed the door hard.
Liu Su’s voice came from his sea of ??consciousness, “Tsk tsk, a man who doesn’t know amorous feeling. The little girl is a little proud. What’s the big deal if you say a few nice words to deceive the little sister?”
Qin Yi lazily said, “Do you know Big Huang at the entrance of the village?”
“Why?”
“That dog is pitiful. He licks Old Xu’s shoe soles every day. Old Xu doesn’t even build a dog house for him. It shows that there is no house for dog licking (also means bootlick).”
“...” Liu Su had long been used to Qin Yi’s occasional inexplicable and weird words, so she didn’t take it seriously. She just complained, “I mean, are you not interested in women? I have never seen you talk to any woman much. I thought you don’t like the girls in the village. But this girl’s icy muscles and jade bones are great, and her face is heroic, which is extraordinary. Even I was tempted when I saw her. How did you not have any response at all.”
Qin Yi was startled, “Hey, what do you mean, you are urging me to cultivate to be an immortal while at the same time urging me to be close to women? Aren’t these 2 conflicting?”
Liu Su was silent for a while. It wanted to say something, but it held it back. Then, it suddenly smiled, “Although the that’s true, it’s not so either-or as you imagine. The way of Tao has dual cultivation, and the evil way has nourishment. One day, when you step on the way of immortality, if you are still spooky like you are holding your shoulders and shrunk into the barrel, then maybe I will often see you there in panic. Ah, little immortal, please take care.”
