Chapter 257: Treatment

??

After a while, Li Yuanqing finally stopped pouring things out.

This segment of showing off the treasures finally came to an end. Only then did Hall Master Wang react. He looked at the treasures that were hovering in midair and constantly spinning. They looked really scary. After careful calculations, there were at least dozens of them.

Moreover, at least ten of them were at least ten thousand years old. These were top-notch treasures.

The things that Li Yuanqing casually took out were enough to raise a small sect. However, he did not feel sorry at all and casually gave them to an old granny he did not know. This old granny was seriously ill and on the verge of death. There was no value in treating her at all. Every spirit stone that was wasted on her was unnecessary.

However, Li Yuanqing had spent millions just to save this old granny. It was really scary. Hall Master Wang did not speak for a long time. He only swallowed his saliva and calmed his pounding heart.

Hall Master Wang’s gaze was only on the herbs and he did not notice what Li Yuanqing was doing with his other hand.

Li Yuanqing’s left hand was not idle either. He kept releasing spiritual energy and pouring it into the old granny’s body. The old granny’s withered skin slowly began to become transparent. From this transparent body, one could vaguely see lines that kept shining.

Those patterns were originally very chaotic, but it was as if a very huge hand was constantly teasing them, slowly clearing up the complicated meridians one by one. Finally, they returned to a very complicated network.

The little beggar watched this scene in shock. Something very magical seemed to have happened in his grandmother’s body. How did this young master do it? This young master was like a god in front of him.

Although it looked very lively and those meridians were slowly unblocked, if one looked carefully, they would discover that these meridians were like maze fragments. However, Li Yuanqing had found them again and figured it out.

There were thousands of cracks in them. These meridians were all cracked. If not for Li Yuanqing’s spiritual energy outside helping to repair these meridians, they would probably be broken in the next second and she would die.

This was also the most dangerous time. If Li Yuanqing was even a little careless, the old granny’s life would not be spared. She had been struggling at death’s door for so long and was about to die at Li Yuanqing’s hands.

However, Li Yuanqing would not allow such a thing to happen. The small vortex circling in the air ignited with flames. The flames were very bright and transparent. The red flames kept burning the herbs.

It completely dried up the water in the herbs and evaporated the medicinal properties. More importantly, after being burned by the flames, the power became completely chaotic. In the end, the chaotic energy was slowly roasted and gathered together.

Just like that, Li Yuanqing controlled the old granny’s body while refining pills with one hand. Half an hour passed slowly.

Even someone as strong as Li Yuanqing had beads of sweat on his forehead. There was no need to say anything about Hall Master Wang and the little beggar. The two of them were completely focused on this and did not dare to relax at all.

After concentrating for so long, they had exhausted a lot of stamina. They had yet to react. If they did, they would realize that their backs were completely drenched in sweat. Although they were not the ones who refined the pills, their fatigue was not inferior to Li Yuanqing at all. In fact, they looked even more tired than Li Yuanqing.

Hall Master Wang really did not expect Young Master Li to have so many surprises for him. Initially, he thought that Young Master Li was just an ordinary expert. He did not expect him to have such superb alchemy skills.

One had to know that Young Master Li’s talent in cultivation had already reached the peak. There were few humans in the world who could catch up to him.

However, he never expected that Young Master Li’s alchemy skills were so superb. Even in this world, there were probably not many people who could use such methods. They actually did not need an alchemy furnace to refine such complicated pills.

“Oh my God…”

Hall Master Wang watched with his mouth agape. He had already forgotten the time. At this moment, after the flames in the vortex experienced a continuous high temperature, the temperature slowly decreased. The red gradually turned yellow before slowly dissipating.

When all the colors disappeared, there were only three small pills left in the pile of natural treasures.

Li Yuanqing was quick-witted and picked up one of the three pills floating in the air. He gently patted the old granny’s back with his left hand. Her mouth immediately opened. He stuffed the pill into the old granny’s mouth and exerted some force. The old granny swallowed the pill immediately.

Li Yuanqing took the opportunity to take out a small jade bottle from somewhere. The two pills obediently entered the small bottle. He did not even turn around to speak. He threw the small medicine bottle into Liu Wen’s arms.

“One every day. I’ll look for you in three days.”

Liu Wen held the bottle with both hands and stared blankly at the bottle in his hand, completely unaware of what was happening outside. When he heard Li Yuanqing’s words, he immediately looked up to look for him. However, the cave abode was empty. There was no one else.

“Young Master?”

Liu Wen looked around and happened to see his grandmother lying behind him. At this moment, his grandmother was lying on the bed with a peaceful expression, as if she was just sleeping. He hurried to test his grandmother’s breathing. Her breathing was very steady and her pulse was steady.

In the past, his grandmother’s pulse was always very, very chaotic. It was simply too chaotic to look at. However, it was so stable today and had completely returned to the level of a normal person.

Moreover, he could feel the power in his grandmother’s body. Originally, the spiritual energy in his grandmother’s body had already entered a state of loss and was completely impossible to gather again. However, he could feel such a huge power today. Everything that his grandmother had lost was fine again.

Back then, she had gone crazy from cultivating and her meridians were broken. Her spiritual energy had dissipated all of a sudden. Now, it has been replenished completely. There was actually such a thing.

Liu Wen lay beside the old granny’s bed in ecstasy and wailed.

After leaving the little beggar’s cave abode, Li Yuanqing brought Hall Master Wang back to their library.

Today was quite a fulfilling day. Although he did not see any especially exciting competitions, Li Yuanqing was very satisfied to be able to know these two talented children.

However, Hall Master Wang was still in shock and could not recover for a long time.

What happened? What kind of person was he following? Why was this person so powerful? The more Hall Master Wang thought about it, the more uncertain he became. His entire body was light as he walked, as if he no longer had the confidence to follow behind Li Yuanqing.

After returning to the library, Hall Master Wang recovered and heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Young Master, you spent a lot of money this time, right?” Hall Master Wang looked at Li Yuanqing guiltily.

In the end, this little beggar was still a member of Rong City. Although Rong City had indeed developed much better than before under the lead of the City Lord, it was undeniable that there were indeed many situations like the little beggar in Rong City.

This was inevitable. After all, on the path of immortal cultivators, only the strong were respected. Weaklings like them should be eliminated.

However, it did not feel appropriate for Li Yuanqing to spend so much money to save an old woman today. After all, Li Yuanqing was their esteemed guest. Moreover, Li Yuanqing had personally helped them out a few days ago.

Otherwise, the entire Rong City would have already become ruins. How would they have the time to look at these beggars? In the end, this money should not be paid by Li Yuanqing. It should be paid by their City Lord Manor.

Li Yuanqing said as if he did not care, “It’s fine. It’s just a little money. This child is indeed very talented. With some nurturing in the future, he will probably grow into a very impressive figure. I think highly of him.”

Hall Master Wang scratched his head and said carefully, “Yes, but this child’s meridians are only very ordinary. There are many children in the city with extraordinary talent. Their meridians are smooth and they are talented. They can be said to be geniuses in cultivation.”

Li Yuanqing did not care about this at all. He said to Hall Master Wang, “The meridians are actually secondary. The more difficult the innate cultivation is, the more tenacious one will be. Moreover, in the later stages of cultivation, one will have the upper hand. This is what it means to be late but arrive first.”

Hall Master Wang smiled bitterly and said, “Young Master, you’re just saying. However, with the resources in the catacombs, it’s very difficult to take the first step even if you want to. How can you talk about the next step? That’s already too late. I’m afraid there are very few people in the entire catacombs who want to reach that step.”

Li Yuanqing only smiled and did not answer.

“I’m tired today, so I’ll go and rest first. Hall Master Wang, bring me to see other places tomorrow. Thank you, Hal Master Wang, for bringing me to see such a novel competition today.”

Hall Master Wang still felt guilty. He had clearly not done anything, but his young master was so polite. It really made him feel guilty.

“Young Master, stop talking about this. I almost caused trouble for you today and made you spend so many treasures. However, don’t worry, Young Master. I will definitely report this matter to the City Lord. Rong City will definitely pay for it!”

“There’s no need for that. Hall Master Wang, you should rest first. I see that the spiritual energy in your body is quite chaotic. You should quickly calm down.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he returned to his residence to recover his spiritual energy. Although the treatment just now was not particularly troublesome, it had cost him a lot of spiritual energy. However, it was worth it to be able to treat such an old granny’s injuries.

Hall Master Wang stood at the back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he looked in the direction Li Yuanqing had disappeared.

He was afraid to speak because of Li Yuanqing’s actions just now. However, this money was used by Li Yuanqing to save the people of Rong City. No matter what, he had to report this to the City Lord.

Hall Master Wang thought for a moment and rushed towards the City Lord Manor.

“Is there such a thing? It’s fine. Since Young Master Li likes to treat this old granny, we should take out this money. This is natural. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Ye Qiluo was very gratified after hearing Hall Master Wang’s explanation. She felt that Hall Master Wang had done the right thing by coming over to report.

“Then how many materials did Young Master Li spend later? How many spirit stones did he use in total? Just give me a rough estimate and report it to the accountant. Let the accountant give you the funds. Just say that I said it.”

Ye Qiluo said this very confidently, but Hall Master Wang was very hesitant. He carefully looked at Ye Qiluo and reminded her, “But City Lord, Young Master Li has taken out a lot of things of value this time…”

Ye Qiluo had been busy preparing for the city defense works recently. She wanted to completely turn Rong City into an impregnable fortress. She was not in the mood to worry about these small matters.

Ye Qiluo looked at Hall Master Wang unhappily and said, “Hall Master Wang, why are you still hesitating over such a small sum of money? Do you know what would have happened to us if not for Young Master Li?”

Hall Master Wang smiled bitterly and said, “But City Lord, this is really not a small sum of money…”

“He saved an old lady. How much materials can he spend? How much can he use even with the weather? Tell me what he used.”

Ye Qiluo was furious with Hall Master Wang’s stinginess. Hall Master Wang was good at everything, but he was too stingy. It was because of this stinginess that he was very good at managing the library.

Hall Master Wang reported honestly, “There’s a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, a thousand-year-old cold worm, and a soul grass of unknown age. Moreover, I think the snow lotus he took out is at least ten thousand years old…”

Ye Qiluo had just brought over a cup of spiritual tea. She almost spat it out after drinking half a mouthful. Initially, she thought that it would not cost much to treat illnesses and save people. But why was Li Yuanqing so ruthless?

“Are you kidding me?”

“City Lord, how would I dare to joke with you? This is all true. I was stunned when Young Master Li took it out. Do I have to report this?”

“Then isn’t there anything cheaper?” Ye Qiluo’s cheeks were twitching. She had only spent tens of millions of spirit stones to build the city defense fortifications here, but why was this Young Master Li so ruthless in saving an unknown old lady?
