Chapter 50 050 Aphrodisiac Pill

Inside the hidden compartment.

Li Shu handed "Dragon Blood Grass, Returning Origin Ginseng, and Thousand-Year-Old Lingzhi" to Jiang Yan, who then casually put them into her treasure bag.

He looked into Jiang Yan's calm, unwavering eyes and said, "Just as you and Steward Li said, I'll keep half of the pills I refine."

Looking at the blurry face, Jiang Yan asked, "Anything else you require? I can ask them to provide equivalent spirit stones or spirit artifacts."

She felt that those guys shouldn't be lacking in these things, so as long as his requests weren't outrageously unreasonable, she could make the decision herself.

Li Shu said calmly, "No need. Consider the other half as compensation for your pill refining. This is a deal between you and me, and has nothing to do with them."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Shu added, "If you need any other medicinal herbs, just ask Steward Wang."

"Hmm." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Although we have Dragon Blood Grass, Origin-Returning Ginseng, and Thousand-Year-Old Lingzhi, the pills made from them cannot help you recover safely. Even if you recover, it cannot guarantee that you will be completely restored. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your body to cultivate and level up in the future."

She felt it was better to say some things upfront to avoid future disputes.

He then added, "However, I think people shouldn't live solely for the sake of cultivating immortality. At least after you recover, you won't have any problems living a normal life."

Li Shuchui's hands clenched slightly at his sides. "I know."

A moment later, the two emerged from the hidden compartment one after the other.

Jiang Yan looked down and saw the mosaic. Although she couldn't see their expressions, she could still sense a faint tension in the air.

She felt somewhat relieved; all the careful feeding she had done over the past few days had finally paid off.

She smiled and said, "Let's go back to the room first."

Lin Yun suddenly climbed onto her instep and wrapped his arms tightly around her ankle.

She craned her neck to look at the person behind her, and her eyes met Li Shu's unexpectedly.

Li Shu's emotionless gaze swept over the hint of hostility in Lin Yun's eyes.

After returning to her bedroom, Jiang Yan threw the medicinal herbs into her system space.

Xiao Mei suddenly appeared: "Host, the Li family runs a medicinal herb shop. You can find more herbs and throw them in to refine together."

Jiang Yan frowned and said, "Wait a little longer, let's study the dosage of these things first."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

...

At noon, Jiang Yan asked Butler Wang if she could use the kitchen.

Butler Wang frowned and said, "We have people in our household who cook, so Miss Jiang doesn't need to trouble herself."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's no trouble. I'm just idling around anyway, so I might as well find something to do."

Seeing this, Butler Wang didn't say anything more, but simply led the people to the kitchen. After all, when he invited them over, he had said that they were free to do whatever they wanted.

However, he soon understood why Jiang Yan wanted to take matters into her own hands.

Butler Wang watched for a while, and as he turned to leave, he saw Li Shu standing not far behind him.

He paused slightly, then asked, "Young Master, are you planning to go in and take a look?"

Li Shu didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Butler Wang followed and said, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be such a good cook. Was she always like this?"

Li Shu remained silent, creating a subtle atmosphere.

Butler Wang immediately realized his slip of the tongue and was about to apologize when Li Shu suddenly spoke up again: "She wasn't good at these things before."

Li Shu's attendant casually remarked, "Could it be that as one's level increases, one's culinary skills also improve? It seems that the Hehuan Sect's dual cultivation technique is quite something."

Li Shu paused, turned around, and looked at him as if puzzled.

The attendant didn't find anything wrong with what he had just said, and simply smiled and said, "Miss Jiang must have been cultivating with the Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord, which is why she was able to advance to the Golden Core stage in such a short time, right?"

Because of the young master's past relationship with Miss Jiang, although they had never met Jiang Yan before, they had heard of her. That girl was a flower cultivator who had cultivated for a hundred years without breaking through to the Qi Refining stage, and was once a laughing stock in the cultivation world.

When the Li family heard that their young master had been paired with such a Daoist partner, they were all quite surprised.

Later, they successfully dissolved the contract, and those in charge of the household breathed a sigh of relief.

The next time I heard the name Miss Jiang was after the great battle, when she became a Daoist partner with the Demon Lord, the Demon Emperor, the Little Immortal Lord, the top disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, and the successor of the Medicine King Valley.

People had initially laughed at her, saying she would surely die a horrible death, but now it seems they were overthinking it.

Li Shu frowned, seemingly asking casually, "Why would you think that?"

The servant frowned slightly and said, "Those few clearly rely on Miss Jiang. You can tell from their demeanor that they have a close relationship."

Li Shu frowned, and his hands, which were hanging at his sides, suddenly clenched.

Seeing this, Steward Wang quickly gave the servant a meaningful look.

"Young Master, let me help you back to your study first."

As Li Shu turned around, she glanced at the kitchen window and saw Jiang Yan feeding the green snake something. The snake's tail was gently rubbing against her wrist, and it even shyly offered its tail to her palm for a caress.

Jiang Yan naturally pinched the tip of his slender tail, then stroked his snake head, smiling happily.

She had never shown him such a smile before.

Li Shu's gaze darkened, and he turned to leave.

Inside the kitchen, Lin Yun caught a glimpse of the annoying person leaving and, in a good mood, bounced off Jiang Yan's wrist and onto the ground.

Feng Qingyu glanced at the scheming snake and couldn't help but chuckle.

Although his methods were somewhat clumsy, they were quite effective.

After lunch, Jiang Yan decided to take a short nap.

Although Butler Wang arranged a room for each of them, Lin Yun, that shameless guy, stayed on her pillow and refused to leave.

Just as Jiang Yan was threatening him, Xiao Mei's first batch of pills came out.

"Host, let them try it first, and then adjust it appropriately based on their feelings."

Jiang Yan nodded, called over the others, and gave each of them one.

As for Li Shu, she sent someone to call Steward Wang to fetch the medicine and deliver it to her.

After the animals took the pills, Jiang Yan took out paper and pen and began to ask them about their condition with a serious expression.

"How is it? Do you feel anything unusual? Should the dosage be reduced or increased?"

Dongfang Chen frowned and spoke first: "I have some feeling, but it's not very strong. I feel the dosage could be increased a bit."

Jiang Yan nodded and noted down the key points.

Shen Yuchen continued, "It's alright. I can feel spiritual energy gathering in my dantian, and I feel inexplicably hot, which is a bit strange..."

Ling Yue, her rabbit-like face flushed with excitement, exclaimed, "Sister Yan, my body feels warm and I'm dizzy, like I'm walking on clouds!"

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment, carefully choosing her words: "I don't know how to describe it, my body is so hot, I really want to soak in a pool of water..."

As it spoke, it scurried to Jiang Yan's feet, its snake face flushed, and rubbed its tail against her ankle in an ambiguous manner.

Jiang Yan looked puzzled; the more they talked about their feelings, the stranger they seemed to be.

She called out to Xiaomei in her mind, "Hey, did you give me the wrong medicine? I feel like..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaomei screamed, "Ahhh! Host, we're doomed! They really gave us the wrong medicine!!!"

Jiang Yan frowned in surprise: "So what kind of medicine did you give them?"

"It's... an aphrodisiac pill that helps with dual cultivation..."

"You can't even get this right? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Jiang Yan widened her eyes and shouted at "Little Immortal Lord" and Lin Yun, who hadn't even had a chance to eat yet, "Don't eat yet!"

Lin Yun was holding the pill with his tail. He was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Jiang Yan's expression, he immediately confirmed his guess.

With a gleam of joy in its eyes, the snake opened its mouth and fed the pill inside!

"...Didn't I tell you not to eat anymore!"

Jiang Yan frantically tried to pry his mouth open, but it was too late...
