Mi Li's eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes turned dangerous: "What demands do you want?"
Zuan chuckled: "I haven't thought about it yet... cough cough, isn't it only right to heal Master's injuries? It's too formal to bring up these things between us."
Mi Li's expression softened a bit: "You little rascal do have some filial piety, but I never owe favors. If I say I'll grant you a request, then I mean it. If you haven't thought it through yet, then tell me when you have. As long as I can do it, I will definitely grant it."
Zu An looked at him strangely, thinking, "You can just agree to this kind of request? Aren't you afraid that your filial piety will be corrupted?"
Mi Li opened the jade bottle, brought it to her lips, stuck out her small tongue and licked it, then closed her eyes and began to circulate her internal energy to regulate her breathing.
Zuan asked with some confusion, "Why not just consume the Purple Frost Divine Milk directly?"
There's only such a tiny drop, and you lick just a little bit each time, like a miser who can't bear to eat meat.
Mi Li snorted: "What do you know? Purple Frost Divine Milk is a divine object of heaven and earth, containing the essence of heaven and earth. If I were to take this drop directly, a large amount of essence would be wasted in my current state. That's why I need to refine and repair my soul little by little."
"Wouldn't that take a long time?" Zuan frowned.
"Do you find me troublesome?" Mi Li asked calmly.
Zuan laughed and said, "What are you saying, Master? How could I find you troublesome? I just want you to recover quickly."
“That’s more like it,” Mi Li nodded in satisfaction. “However, I almost lost my soul before, and it won’t be able to recover in a short time. I will go into seclusion to recuperate. It will take at least three months, and at most half a year, for me to fully recover.”
"It's going to take this long?" Even though Mi Li had just been warned, he still didn't expect it to take so long.
Mi Li said solemnly, "Injuries to the soul are no small matter, especially since I was almost destroyed. The fact that I was able to recover in a few months is thanks to the miraculous Purple Frost Divine Milk that you found."
"Alright then, you focus on recovering. I've pretty much taken care of the situation in Yunzhong County on my own." Zu An suddenly remembered that Yun Jianyue had also suffered damage to her soul from the emperor's attack. Although she had the elixirs from the Imperial Hospital to heal her at the time, according to Mi Li's words, she probably hasn't fully recovered yet.
Mi Li sized him up, and finally a hint of approval appeared in her eyes: "Although you look like a carefree and lecherous fellow, you are really reliable when it comes to getting things done. You are indeed worthy of being my apprentice."
Zuan: "..."
This woman insulted me but then tried to pat herself on the back; that's just her nature.
Mi Li reached out and checked his pulse, then nodded slightly: "Not bad. It seems that you haven't forgotten to cultivate these days because of your infatuation with women. According to the method I taught you before, your soul has been tempered and is not far from being fully formed. Tsk tsk, your cultivation speed is indeed not bad. You are worthy of being my disciple."
Zu An sighed, "These days of cultivation have been very arduous."
"Oh? How do you cultivate every day?" Mi Li immediately became interested. These days she had been focusing on recuperating from her injuries to avoid a collapse of her soul, so she naturally didn't know about his affairs.
“Every morning after getting up, I meditate for half an hour. Before going to bed, no matter how tired I am from the day, I also meditate for half an hour.” Zu An thought of the times he had been intimate with Da Manman. Even though he was exhausted, he still had to force himself to meditate. Of course, he dared not tell Mi Li about this hardship, otherwise he would be given a lot of eye rolls.
"And then?" Mi Li frowned.
"And then?" Zu'an was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, sometimes when I have free time, I also try to meditate. So many things have happened in Yunzhong County lately, I've been so busy I'm still trying to cultivate. Isn't that hard?"
"That's it?" Mi Li asked with a strange expression.
"Otherwise what?" Zu'an asked, puzzled. "Master, when you were tempering your soul, was it even more difficult than what I'm going through?"
“Back then…” Mi Li felt like she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but she still put on a straight face and said somewhat awkwardly, “Of course I didn’t have to work this hard back then. A genius like Master doesn’t need to spend time meditating. Sleeping is enough.”
"Ah, Master, please teach me how to do it!" Zu An said eagerly. He really wanted to continue, because no man wants to get intimate with a woman to the deepest point. It should be the most relaxing and comfortable time, but he had to force himself to meditate and cultivate.
Mi Li's face flushed. How could she know how to meditate while sleeping? She was confident in her extraordinary talent, but when she was tempering her soul, she spent a year nourishing her body with endless resources and practicing day and night.
As a result, this guy only spent that little time each day, which she considered negligible, yet he managed to cultivate his soul to this level in just one or two months.
The worst part is that he acts like he's working very hard, which really makes people furious.
The proud Mi Li was too embarrassed to tell him the truth, so she just casually brushed him off with a few words: "If you empty your mind and clear your thoughts, you will naturally be able to enter a meditative state when you go to sleep."
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Zuan looked on with anticipation.
Mi Li thought to herself, "Could this guy have actually learned how to meditate while asleep?"
However, this thought was quickly dismissed; how could that be possible!
She thought for a moment and then pointed her finger at Zu'an. Zu'an immediately felt a surge of power within him.
“This is…” Zuan was startled, sensing a familiar aura.
“These are the cultivation and soul fragments of Old Man Mi that were sealed away before. If you refine them completely in this short time, you should be able to fully condense his soul,” Mi Li said.
