Chen Xiu had already observed Zhang Dabiao's physical condition.

I don't want to use acupuncture or anything like that...

As a dignified Celestial Emperor, he could simply refine some medicine and make some pills for Zhang Dabiao to take.

Unfortunately, he had given all his elixirs to his junior sister, so Chen Xiu decided to refine another batch.

"No, no, no..."

Seeing that Chen Xiu had brought so many things and wanted to give them so much cash, Zhang Dabiao's parents repeatedly refused, saying, "We can't accept so much money, please take it back!"

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm Da Biao's good friend, please accept this."

Chen Xiu glanced at Zhang Dabiao, who was already asleep, and said, "His health is getting worse every day. We should use this money to treat Dabiao's illness. We can't let him keep dragging on like this, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dabiao's parents finally accepted the money.

They were completely broke, but they didn't want to give up on treatment.

The two elderly people knelt down in front of Chen Xiu, crying, "Thank you, thank you! We'll find a way to pay you back! In our next life, we'll be your oxen and horses..."

"Uncle and Aunt, what are you doing? Get up!"

Chen Xiu finally managed to help the two elderly people up. Li Qingyao's eyes were also red as she watched. She held Zhang Dabiao's mother's arm and said, "Auntie, please get up quickly."

After saying goodbye to the two elderly people, Chen Xiu took Li Qingyao to the herbal medicine shop first.

When they raided the East Sea King's study last time, they only got precious medicinal herbs, not the ones they usually used.

Looking at the dozens of packets of medicinal herbs piled up like small mountains, Li Qingyao exclaimed in surprise, "Axiu, do we really need to buy so many?"

"not much."

Chen Xiu gave a helpless wry smile and said, "If I had more precious medicinal herbs on me, I would have bought even more... The demand for elixirs is huge!"

Besides treating Zhang Dabiao, he also needed to refine many elixirs.

I need elixirs to cultivate the Immortal Emperor's Longevity Body, so you need elixirs to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Technique, and in the future, Murong Shuang will need elixirs to cultivate the Arrogant Cold Technique!

This enormous expense gave Chen Xiu quite a headache!

"snort."

Seemingly seeing through Chen Xiu's thoughts, Li Qingyao pouted angrily and muttered, "You gave all the elixirs to that big-breasted vixen, why didn't you give them to me? Don't you want to help me cultivate immortality?"

"Yes, I do!"

Chen Xiu picked up the medicinal herbs and, when no one was paying attention, put them into his spatial storage. He said, "But cultivating immortality is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You Rong and Murong Shuang both have special physiques that are rare to find even once in a thousand years!"

Seeing that Li Qingyao's jealousy hadn't subsided, he continued, "Besides, I trained those two precisely to protect you, didn't I?

"That's more like it!"

Li Qingyao instantly felt relieved, and a beautiful smile instantly appeared on her pretty face.

Silly girl!

Chen Xiu sighed inwardly.

It was already evening when we got back to the villa.

The living room lights were still on. Yang Yuxue, wearing a nightgown, sat on the sofa, glancing at the yard outside every now and then.

The silk pajamas were very soft, draped over her body, and the hem fell to her knees.

Two strong, slender, fair legs were draped over the sofa. Although the TV was on, she had no interest in watching it.

Yang Yuxue only breathed a sigh of relief after Chen Xiu returned.

"mom."

Li Qingyao came down carrying large and small bags, and said excitedly, "Aren't my clothes pretty? I picked out an outfit for you too, and Ashu even bought you a new phone."

As he spoke, he took out the new clothes and the new cell phone he had bought for his mother and handed them over.

"You'll just waste money."

Although Yang Yuxue's tone was reproachful, her face was filled with a doting smile. "Axiu, don't spoil this girl. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"

"I understand, Aunt Xue!"

Chen Xiu nodded obediently.

Then he said, "You all should get some rest. I'm going back to my room to cultivate."

After saying that, he quickly went back to his room on the second floor.

Knowing that Chen Xiu had gone to refine pills, Li Qingyao didn't disturb her. Instead, she pulled her mother to try on new clothes, saying, "Mom, quickly try on these new clothes to see if they fit!"

Yang Yuxue couldn't refuse her daughter's request, so she had to try on the new clothes.

In front of the mirror, a beautiful mother and daughter, one big and one small.

My mother was in her early forties, wearing a dark casual dress. She had a graceful and tall figure, long black hair that cascaded down her back, and a beautiful face with delicate features, full lips, and an elegant and intellectual air. She was a typical Eastern beauty.

The daughter was not yet twenty years old. She wore a brightly colored floral dress, had a tall and slender figure, and her long black hair was tied into a pretty ponytail. She had a pure face, delicate features, petite lips, and bright, lively eyes. She looked innocent and lovely, just like most men's first love.

"it's beautiful!"

Li Qingyao couldn't help but offer a compliment, unsure whether she was praising her mother or herself.

Chen Xiuzheng was refining elixirs on the second-floor terrace.

His room has a terrace of about ten square meters outside, which is a place to relax and drink tea.

Now, he has arranged the medicinal herbs in rows, summoned the Samadhi Fire with his palm, and put the herbs into the fire one by one in order.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Two hours later, Chen Xiu finally let out a soft breath and said, "It's done!"

One by one, the elixirs floated in the air. With a gentle wave of his hand, he stored these medicinal herbs in his own private space.

"The space I created myself can lock in the medicinal properties of the elixir, and it also saves me the time of polishing the jade bottle."

Chen Xiu muttered to himself.

The medicinal properties of elixirs diminish over time, so they are usually stored in jade bottles.

But there's no need to worry about this issue in the space that Chen Xiu created himself.

Even storing fresh ingredients won't cause them to spoil!

"It won't be long before dawn..."

Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Chen Xiu was too lazy to get up. He continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, took out a spirit pill and put it in his mouth, and continued to cultivate the Immortal Emperor Longevity Body!

As the first rays of sunlight touched his face, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled all the stale air from his body in one breath.

"call---!"

It took Chen Xiu a good ten seconds to stop exhaling.

Then he shook his head helplessly, "At this rate, I don't know how long it will take for the Immortal Emperor's Longevity Body to reach the second level. It's too slow!"

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Xiu took a hot shower.

Just as I was about to go downstairs to prepare breakfast, my ears twitched slightly, and my gaze turned toward the door.

The door lock clicked slightly...

They were very careful, making absolutely no sound.

Then the door was slowly pushed open, and Li Qingyao poked her head in, whispering, "Axiu, are you awake yet?"

"woke up."

Chen Xiu looked at Li Qingyao, who had sneaked in, and saw her closing the door with a thief-like expression. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you want to do?"

"I was so excited, I couldn't sleep a wink last night!"

Wearing a pink nightgown, Li Qingyao said with a flushed face, "I couldn't resist, so I sneaked over to find you!"
