The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 700 Is this a coincidence?_1

Li Qing was always a restless sort, or perhaps you might call him someone who couldn’t stay idle.

After helping Han Mei with some autumn vegetables in the village and spending two days at the construction site, he leisurely made his way into town.

In the village, everything was going smoothly, and the women at home were capable, managing everything in perfect order.

After being away for a while, Li Qing found himself somewhat out of place back in the village.

The convenience store didn’t need him, a man who only knew how to bask in the sun all day, and at the construction site, his eyes weren’t as sharp as Han Mei’s and Tian Yue’e’s.

Before long, he went from being the main pillar of the household to seemingly superfluous wherever he went.

But Li Qing couldn’t help wanting to find something to do.

This sense of idleness drove him nuts.

So, unable to find anything to keep him busy in the village, Li Qing headed into the city to take care of some elixir business with Qi Mengru.

The elixirs that the orange cat had brought were left with Qi Mengru because Li Qing had to go to the Underground Palace.

Before Li Qing even reached town, his deadbeat master unexpectedly made a rare phone call.

Li Qing pulled over on the side of the road and answered the phone.

"Master, have you finally remembered you have a disciple like me?" Li Qing teased. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Your master has been very busy. Do you think I’m like you, with nothing to do all day, romping through a life of leisure? What do you want?" Xuan Chen Zhenren said while crunching on something, his voice exceptionally crisp.

Li Qing was all but getting calluses on his ears from these excuses.

"Originally, I wanted to ask you about the purpose of a few elixirs, but now it seems unnecessary," Li Qing said.

"It’s just that? Don’t you have access to the database provided by Division Nine? Can’t you find whatever elixir you’re looking for in there? Do you still need to ask me?" Xuan Chen Zhenren inquired.

"Actually, I really can’t find it," Li Qing said somewhat speechlessly, twisting his mouth.

His master was truly becoming obsolete, a real free-range one.

"Say it, let your master hear it. The information you get from others might not be reliable. You can’t just consume elixirs indiscriminately, doing so could kill you," Xuan Chen Zhenren said, the sound of his chewing distinctly audible.

"Master, can you stop eating for a moment? It’s bothering me," Li Qing muttered.

"You go on and talk. Does your master eating stop you from speaking?" Xuan Chen Zhenren scolded.

"Fine, it’s a Revitalizing Pill, a Demon Spirit Elixir, and something called a Barrier-Breaking Pill," Li Qing nonchalantly replied, propping his leg up on the handlebar.

On the other end of the call, the sound of Xuan Chen Zhenren munching suddenly stopped, "What did you just say those elixirs were called again?"

"See, I told you it would be disruptive, and you said it wouldn’t be," Li Qing complained, then repeated the names of the three elixirs.

The voice on the other end of the phone disappeared, a spooky silence as quiet as death.

Li Qing took off his phone to check, the call hadn’t been disconnected.

"Master, what’s going on? Is the signal bad over there again?" Li Qing asked.

"You tell me, these three elixirs are... which grade are they? I mean, are they high, middle, or low tier? No, no, you can’t tell on your own. Let me think, the Revitalizing Pill has cloud patterns, and the fewer the clouds, the higher the grade. How many do you have in your hand?" Xuan Chen Zhenren asked with some urgency.

"I didn’t check, I don’t have any elixirs with me right now," Li Qing said.

Xuan Chen Zhenren suddenly got so excited, it left him a bit confused.

Hong Fang Zhenren showed only a bit of surprise when he saw the Demon Spirit Elixir, yet his master was losing his composure over this?

"Go look, go look, right now!" Xuan Chen Zhenren shouted excitedly.

"Master, is your heart not doing too well?" Li Qing asked, puzzled. "You’re not handling things too well. I used a Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir on Hong Fang Zhenren, and all he did was clutch his chest and stomp his feet. Why are you screaming your voice hoarse?"

"You said you didn’t know the grade, wait, you fed that old sod a Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir? Was he dying?" Hong Fang Zhenren suddenly raised his voice, truly going hoarse.

"No, just one of his legs turned into a skeleton from the trip to the Underground Palace," Li Qing said.

"You prodigal son, you rabbit scion, you, you, you... If I could reach you right now, I’d truly want to slap you to death!" Xuan Chen Zhenren shouted, overwhelmed with emotion. "It’s just a leg turned to bone; any random pill could have cured it, why did you have to use a Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir? Do you know how precious that thing is?"

"How precious? Hong Fang Zhenren actually said the same thing," Li Qing stated weakly. "Master, did something happen?"

"What do you think I’ve been doing this entire time? I was searching for a lifesaving medicine for your unworthy nephew Long Eyebrow, otherwise why do you think I would be so agitated!" Xuan Chen Zhenren yelled angrily. "I’ve seen Supreme Rejuvenation Elixirs before, your master used to pop them like candy."

"But it’s just... I’ve ravaged our Sect’s Treasure Pavilion so severely that now we’re out of medicine when we need to save a life. It’s all the karma I’ve made! Why didn’t I check at that time, just happened to gobble up all the lifesaving elixirs clean."

Li Qing’s mouth twitched slightly, "Master, it’s not that much of a coincidence, is it?"

"Coincidence my foot, that lad Long Eyebrow failed his cultivation stunt and has been playing dead for over a month now. However, it is a bit coincidental that you suddenly have a Revitalizing Pill, but lifesaving doesn’t just come from Revitalizing Pills. It just so happens that the one in your hand can save a life... let’s just say it was a coincidence," Xuan Chen Zhenren rambled on, confounding himself in the process.

"Forget it, it’s useless to talk about it now. Even with the Sect’s unparalleled strength, generations only managed to accumulate two bottles of Supreme Rejuvenation Elixirs, and I suppose you couldn’t have had more. What grade is the Breakthrough Pill you have? Forget it, you definitely didn’t check again, you little rabbit scion, I’ve really spoiled you for nothing, giving a Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir to that sod Hong Fang!"

Xuan Chen Zhenren continued to ramble on, berating Hong Fang Zhenren.

Anyway, for this Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir that just happened to appear, Xuan Chen Zhenren expressed an even stronger sense of grief and indignation than Hong Fang Zhenren.

If he weren’t Li Qing’s master, he probably would have already been cursing Li Qing’s ancestors.

"Um... Master, is Long Eyebrow Zhenren’s condition very serious?" Li Qing asked quietly.

"It’s not all that serious," Xuan Chen Zhenren sighed lightly. "He’s just about to die, that’s all."

Li Qing’s mouth began to twitch madly; his frugal master was becoming more and more refined in his speech. This was not considered serious? Quite the perspective.

"Actually... I have one more."
