The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 703: Bathing Together_1

"The elixir isn’t on me, I can go get it with Master." Li Qing said earnestly.

"Let’s go, let him do you this favor." Xuan Chen Zhenren pointed to Long Eyebrow who was lying on the bed and whose complexion had mostly recovered, and said urgently, "Hurry up and get this done, so I can join the excitement at King Qi’s Underground Palace."

"Uncle-Master, I really don’t need the low-level Barrier Breaking Elixir. It’s useless to me." Long Eyebrow shook his head and said.

"Useful or not, you have to try it first to know. It should still provide you with some assistance," Xuan Chen Zhenren said, "If you do nothing, then you might as well wait for death. I’ve even put aside my pride to snatch a disciple’s things, yet you still resist and make excuses."

Long Eyebrow had no choice but to nod, "Then let’s give it a try."

"Kid, let’s go."

Xuan Chen Zhenren grabbed Li Qing and stepped out of the bamboo hut. When they reappeared, they were already high in the sky outside.

"Master, in the town." Li Qing called out urgently.

He was worried that Xuan Chen Zhenren would take him straight to his home, and that they would have to backtrack.

Xuan Chen Zhenren nodded, and his figure plummeted suddenly. The mountains flew past Li Qing’s eyes in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, they were in the town.

Li Qing steadied himself and paused for quite a while before he felt solid ground beneath his feet.

He took out his phone and called Qi Mengru to ask if she was available. After confirming that she had time, he led Xuan Chen Zhenren into the No. 3 Middle School campus and directly to Qi Mengru’s office.

The moment the door opened, Qi Mengru saw Xuan Chen Zhenren standing beside Li Qing, was momentarily startled, and then hurriedly said politely, "Elder, please come in."

Qi Mengru had met Xuan Chen Zhenren before.

In fact, Li Qing and Qi Mengru’s intense entanglement also owed a great deal to Xuan Chen Zhenren’s efforts.

"Mengru, please give me the elixir I left here before," Li Qing got straight to the point as soon as he entered.

He could tell that his adopted Master placed a great importance on Long Eyebrow’s matter, even more so than Long Eyebrow himself.

Best not to delay.

Qi Mengru, who was about to make tea, quickly responded, put down the cup, and took the box out of her bedroom.

Li Qing handed it directly to Xuan Chen Zhenren, "Master, you can study it."

Xuan Chen Zhenren didn’t say a word and promptly opened the box. After looking around, he picked up the bottle of Barrier Breaking Elixir.

"It’s of low grade, but it’s better than nothing," Xuan Chen Zhenren said with some regret, "I hope it can make at least a slight difference."

"Master, can’t the elixir be concocted on the mountain ourselves?" Li Qing asked somewhat puzzled.

Xuan Chen Zhenren said solemnly, "Of course it can be concocted. We also have the elixir recipe for the Barrier Breaking Elixir, but since it’s an elixir for breaking through realms, it’s only used when breaking through a realm. During the Foundation Establishment stage, having the Foundation Establishment Elixir is enough; there’s no need for it."

"Those who really need this elixir are mostly at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Yet, how many people in this world can truly reach the Golden Core realm? And Nascent Souls are even rarer. Yet the ingredients required to concoct this elixir are all universally considered treasures, and so over time, this elixir has faded from people’s view."

Li Qing seemed to have understood: the elixir was difficult to refine, and seldom used.

So if that wasn’t going to be eliminated, what would?

Xuan Chen Zhenren pointed at the Marrow Refining Elixir inside and said to Li Qing, "Ordinary people can consume this elixir. You have so many, let them eat it like candy when they have nothing to do. This girl’s physique is even stronger than yours; she may even step into the tribulation crossing earlier than you." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"As a cultivator, since you can’t break away from worldly emotions and love, why not find a way to bring them along and enjoy life as a couple? Nine Truth Palace is such a vast place, and it doesn’t lack living space for you. From now on, you can stay away from mundane entanglements and do whatever you want."

This speech truly reached the depths of Li Qing’s heart.

Li Qing then asked somewhat eagerly, "Master, is there no harm in eating too much of this elixir?"

"It’s not a poison pill, what problems could there be from eating too much?" Xuan Chen Zhenren retorted. "The essence of these elixirs is to supplement the deficiencies in the human body. Consuming too much will just diminish their powerful effects, that’s all. If all deficiencies are replenished, what’s there to supplement?"

Li Qing nodded, that seemed to make sense.

"I’ll take this bottle of Barrier Breaking Pills with me. Long Eyebrow has now escaped one disaster and will probably close himself off for the life and death meditation soon. When I come down the mountain to look for you, we will go to the Underground Palace together," Xuan Chen Zhenren said hurriedly. "Oh yes, it’s still early for the ascent to the Sword Tomb, it will open in just over a month. I will notify you then."

At that point, he suddenly pulled out a small bottle from his chest and handed it to Li Qing, "This is Earth Spirit Spring Water, a rare treasure. Use it for bathing. It was originally prepared for Long Eyebrow, but now that you have the Revitalizing Pills, he won’t need it anymore, so it’s all yours, you lucky brat."

Li Qing hugged it tightly to his chest; this thing sounded like a real treasure.

The generosity this time from Master is off the charts; he’s actually willing to give something so valuable.

Li Qing couldn’t even utter a word of thanks before Xuan Chen Zhenren had vanished like a ghost.

Li Qing looked helplessly at the empty chair, suddenly feeling like a character used callously in a game.

His master came to his place to complete a mission.

Mission completed, hastily onto the next one...

"Qingzi, your master is... still the same as always," said Mengru, somewhat bemusedly.

"A mischievous old nonconformist. He’s in a hurry to help one of my senior brothers advance in cultivation, but this time, I can understand why," Li Qing shrugged and said. After all, he could see how important this matter was to his master.

He guessed that his master had prepared all the healing and breakthrough medicines for Long Eyebrow, but suddenly chose the Revitalizing Pill with its more potent effects after hearing about the Supreme Rejuvenation Elixir. This Earth Spirit Spring Water didn’t seem like something ordinary either.

"Let’s take a bath together, Mengru?" Li Qing waved the palm-sized bottle in his hand, suggesting to Mengru.

"What? Start... right now? Wait a moment, I just got serious about things. Let me switch gears," Mengru stammered, taken aback by Li Qing’s sudden proposal, unprepared for that sort of thing.

Li Qing chuckled, "I mean, let’s see how good this stuff really is. When we get something good, we should use it quickly, or I might miss my chance again."

"Oh, okay, I’ll go and run the bath," Mengru said.

Mengru walked into the bathroom with a swaying figure, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, Li Qing suddenly remembered a very important question: how much of this thing should he pour in at once?
