Searching for underwater treasures, the two of them spent another three days sorting and cleaning the items once they were ashore.
So aside from the things sent to an abandoned warehouse for Grant to take away, the most exquisite dozens of pieces of jewelry were already stored in Lu Zheng’s gourd.
And when the two boarded the plane from Miami to New York, there was already an extra ten million US dollars in Lu Zheng’s encrypted account.
So, this vacation didn’t cost them any of their previously own money at all.
...
"Lu Lang~"
"Brother Lu!"
Upon Lu Zheng’s return from his vacation to Renxin Hall, he was enthusiastically welcod by Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao.
Lu Zheng winked at Liu Qingyan, with his back facing Elder Liu, and whispered, "Have you missed lately?"
Liu Qingyan’s face turned rosy, then she nonchalantly nodded slowly.
Lu Zheng smiled, knowing Liu Qingyan was a bit shy, he didn’t tease her further and accepted the tea offered by Du Yueyao, finishing it in one gulp.
There weren’t too many patients waiting in the clinic, and Du Yueyao even had ti to pour tea for Lu Zheng, so Lu Zheng knew his help wouldn’t be needed.
So he just sat down in the clinic, chatting with everyone, also listening to them talking about recent events.
To be honest, quite a bit actually happened during the ten days Lu Zheng was away.
The first thing was Tonglin County was reportedly haunted again.
It was an aftermath from the Black Wheel King, where a relatively shrewd ghost that inherited sothing didn’t reveal itself at first. It hid for a few months before erging recently, and even then it was on a limited feeding mode.
Originally thinking it all through, since Tonglin County was a large county with a big population, as long as it absorbed a little Yang Qi from each person, the person wouldn’t even sense much.
Plus, with the hustle and bustle of the county, it absorbed more from traveling passersby, avoiding specialized attention from all sorts of Abnormal People, essentially pulling off a trick hidden in plain sight.
Being well-hidden among the busy market, nothing more.
But it hadn’t counted on one thing, the presence of Lady Qingyi in the county. Just two people fell ill after having their Yang Qi sucked, and feeling uncomfortable, they visited the clinic, and Liu Qingyan spotted the issue.
What happened next was simple, Shen Ying personally leading the Eighteen Celestial Maidens to take the ghost down, which truly t its end with reluctance.
The second thing was Monk Guangyue from Pingtan County running into a ghost he couldn’t handle and seeking help, but since Lu Zheng was away, he went with Yuan Jing instead.
Monk Guangyue ca over three days ago, and it’s unknown if the issue had been resolved.
And the third thing...
"Lu Lang, the other day I referred to the ’Red Pine Seed’s Left Caution Jade Water Pill Scripture’ and concocted a batch of Jade Ginseng Pills, take a look!"
Like presenting a treasure, Liu Qingyan produced a white porcelain bottle and poured out two blue-white pills the size of pinky fingers.
Lu Zheng, "..."
The mont he got the ’Jade Water Pill Scripture’ he had learned it, and even once amplified it with the Light of Fortune, still feeling he hadn’t reached the stage to concoct Spirit Pills yet.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyan’s talents in dicine also seed to affect her alchemical abilities.
But, isn’t this too fast?
Liu Qingyan chuckled, "Actually, it’s not that difficult. Haven’t I concocted several Mortal-grade Elixirs before, so with added Jade Ginseng to benefit Abnormal People.
This ti, it was rely referencing the pill scripture, using more Jade Ginseng and another spirit dicine that enhances Qi and blood to concoct.
Try one, although it can’t compare to the Jade Essence Pill and Vermilion Fruit from Master Hu, it’s sowhat more effective than Biluo Fruit."
Looking at the elegant jade-like hand offering the pill, Lu Zheng picked one up and put it in his mouth.
The pill dissolved instantly upon entry, turning into a warm current flowing into the stomach, before instantly spreading throughout the body, rging with the currently circulating True Qi in the ridians.
A portion of the dicinal power imdiately assimilated into the True Qi, boosting its foundation, while another portion stored within the body, releasing gradually.
At this rate, to fully absorb the dicinal power of this pill, it’ll take about a month.
Of course, if refining with full force, utilizing full True Qi, ti could be cut in half.
Regardless, this pill’s effectiveness surpasses that of directly consuming Jade Ginseng, though the dicinal impact in a mont is quite substantial, an ordinary person might be overwheld by it.
"Impressive!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs-up.
Receiving praise, Liu Qingyan bead and handed the porcelain bottle to Lu Zheng, "I used half of the Jade Ginseng, concocting a total of five bottles of pills, I have already sent Sister Shen’s share, this bottle is for Lu Lang."
"Alright!" Lu Zheng didn’t hold back, put away the bottle, then said, "I’ve also been studying the Jade Water Pill Scripture these days, gaining insights into Wind and Rain Skills, let’s exchange notes when we have ti."
On hearing Lu Zheng’s words, Liu Qingyan’s cheeks instantly flushed again, rembering the circumstances under which Lu Zheng had passed her the ’Red Pine Seed’s Left Caution Jade Water Pill Scripture’.
If Chi Songzi knew his legacy was taught by others on the bed, would he bring down his Divine Thought to smite Lu Zheng?
Du Yueyao watched Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan chat with envy, feeling a bit inferior herself.
Liu Qingyan keenly sensed Du Yueyao’s thoughts and, with a smile, held Du Yueyao’s hand, "Yueyao, how is your Qi Technique practice going?"
Du Yueyao bit her lip, furrowing her brows, shook her head, "Still can’t sense it."
"Don’t be impatient, ditate for an hour every day, you’ll gain sothing within a year or two."
Du Yueyao nodded repeatedly, clenching her fists to cheer herself on, "I will!"
"Huh!?"
Lu Zheng looked slightly dazed upon hearing this, glancing up and down at Du Yueyao, "Yueyao is also cultivating?"
"I passed my father’s benefactor’s dical family’s health nurture technique to Yueyao."
Liu Qingyan chuckled, "Yueyao is kind-hearted, traveled with us for disaster relief last year and then studied dicine in the clinic, she has accumulated considerable rit, cultivating this health art could strengthen her body, and allow her to use various acupuncture techniques."
Lu Zheng nodded at this.
Indeed, with rit, it slowly transforms one’s constitution; immunity to diseases is just an apparent benefit.
With Du Yueyao’s current aptitude, attempting so simple Qi Refining Techniques isn’t out of the question.
Lu Zheng also made a fist-raising gesture toward Du Yueyao, "Keep it up!"
Du Yueyao: ???
Even though she didn’t quite get it, it should be encouragent, right?
"Uh-huh!" Du Yueyao nodded with determination.
...
After staying for a while in Renxin Hall without disrupting their work, Lu Zheng turned and left, leisurely going to inspect his sugar shop and workshop, giving bonuses to his staff, eliciting gratitude.
Then, when evening arrived, it was naturally ti to summon Liu Qingyan for a session of discussing the Wind and Rain Skills together.
The breeze is seductive, fostering rainfall.
