Chapter 73 On the Behavior of Leeks
The Blue Flame Phantom left a trace of power in Su Xiaomei's body to help her suppress the anger in her body.
Then it returned to Li Fan's sea of consciousness.
In just such a short period of time, Li Fan already felt tired.
The "Mingling Illusion Art" has not yet been cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the newly born phantom spirit is still a little weak.
He also had to concentrate and carefully control the intensity of the phantom's output so as not to cause damage to Su Xiaomei's young body.
It was not an easy task for Li Fan either.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
This will ensure that she will be safe and sound for the next ten years.
If Li Fan could escape from the Yunshui Palace unscathed and obtain the "Yunshui Tulu" in this life, he would come to find her in advance.
If Li Fan encountered any accident, she could also go to the world of immortal cultivation with Su Changyu and others in ten years.
After regaining his spirit, Li Fan walked out of the basement.
All the dignitaries of Dali are still waiting outside.
After telling them that Su Xiaomei had been cured, Li Fan asked them to go their separate ways.
He only kept Mr. Su and asked about Su Xiaomei's situation.
Mr. Su's face turned red, and he hesitated for a while before he stammered and told the whole story.
It turns out that Su Xiaomei is not the daughter of Mr. Su, but the daughter of Mr. Su's sister, Su Yuqing.
Su Yuqing is much younger than Mr. Su. When she became pregnant with Su Xiaomei last year, she was only sixteen years old.
At that time, her inexplicable pregnancy caused an uproar in the Su Mansion.
Because she wasn't married yet!
Being pregnant before marriage was already an outright scandal. What made Mr. Su even more angry was that Su Yuqing refused to reveal who the father of the child was.
She insisted that she had never done anything unchaste, but that she was just strolling in the garden one day when she suddenly felt tired and took a nap.
Soon after waking up, I noticed something strange about my body.
But as a young girl waiting to be married, how could she have the nerve to mention such a thing to others?
It wasn't until my belly started to grow bigger that I could no longer hide it.
Of course, the Su family did not believe this absurd explanation.
The angry Mr. Su wanted to abort the child.
But feeling the heartbeat of the fetus in her belly, Su Yuqing showed her strength as a mother.
She refused to abort the fetus no matter what, and even threatened to kill herself.
Although Mr. Su was furious, he didn't really kill his own daughter.
Su Yuqing had to be locked in the room and not allowed to go out to prevent the news from leaking out.
And just like that, the day of delivery finally arrived.
It took a lot of effort to give birth to Su Xiaomei.
Su Yuqing's body was weak to begin with and she had not received good care since she became pregnant.
After all this ordeal, my body couldn't bear it any longer.
So a few days after giving birth to Su Xiaomei, she died with regret.
Before her death, she begged the Su family to take good care of Su Xiaomei.
The Su family are not heartless people.
After Su Yuqing's death, the whole family loved this little girl who had lost her parents at a young age very much, and they all hoped that she would grow up safely and happily.
Who would have thought that not long after Su Xiaomei was born, she suffered from a strange disease.
My whole body was burning hot, to the point where I had to apply ice all the time to relieve the heat.
The Su family invited all the famous doctors in Beijing, but none of them could cure the disease.
Until Li Fan arrived.
…
After listening to Master Su's story, Li Fan looked up at the sky of this world, thinking about something.
"Born with a sense of destiny, perhaps this can explain why Su Xiaomei is so talented."
"However, according to the original historical trajectory, even if she had extraordinary talent, she would still be doomed to die in the face of disaster."
"In the entire world of immortal cultivation, how many people are as talented as Su Xiaomei, but die in obscurity like ordinary people?"
"From this perspective, Heaven really treats everyone equally."
The matter here was settled. Li Fan sighed, called out the Tai Yan Zhou, and left quickly.
It didn't take long before they returned to Liuli Island safely.
As He Zhenghao had said before, it took about twenty-five days.
And until this moment, the hiding talisman he had activated earlier was still taking effect.
"As long as I don't fight with others, a shape-hiding talisman can last so long. It is really cheap and good quality. Maybe I can buy some as a backup when I return to the island next time." Li Fan thought to himself.
In the mountain and star formation, Li Fan handed the storage ring to He Zhenghao.
He Zhenghao was a little absent-minded. He just glanced at it casually and put the storage ring away.
But his attention was focused on an ancient mirror in front of him.
Judging from its appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Tianxuan Realm.
Li Fan followed He Zhenghao's gaze and saw a line of small words on the mirror.
"Spiritual Mist Grass: Current price: 15 contribution points per plant."
The number fifteen was constantly changing, sometimes becoming sixteen, and sometimes quickly becoming fourteen.
"Increase, you are increasing!" He Zhenghao stared at the mirror, as if possessed, and kept repeating it in his mouth.
"Friend He, what are you doing?" Li Fan asked curiously.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, there's something you don't know." He Zhenghao sighed and said sullenly without moving his eyes away.
"A few days ago, not long after you left, I received reliable news. The island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted was attacked by a sea beast, and most of the Spirit Mist Grass on the island was destroyed."
"I told you before that Lingwu Grass is the main raw material for making the Hidden Shape Talisman, and it is extremely rare. Now that so much of it has been destroyed, the price is bound to skyrocket."
"At that time, the news had not spread yet, and I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. So I spent a lot of money in Tianxuan Realm and stocked up a large amount of Lingwu Grass..."
This operation sounded familiar. Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao, somewhat puzzled: "Isn't that a good thing? Why does Daoist friend look so depressed?"
"Well, it's a good thing, but I'm happy too early." He Zhenghao sighed without taking his eyes off the mirror.
"At the beginning, the price of Lingwu grass did increase a bit, from 20 points per plant to 25 points per plant. But who would have thought that before I could sell the Lingwu grass in my hands, its price suddenly plummeted."
"It plummeted from 25 points to 13 points, almost cut in half!" He Zhenghao was heartbroken.
"Fortunately, the price has rebounded recently and has risen to around 15 points."
…
Li Fan listened to He Zhenghao's words and couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you take this opportunity to sell all the Lingwu Grass in your hands? At least you can get some money back."
He Zhenghao quickly shook his head: "That won't work. I have invested nearly a hundred years of my savings in it. At the very least, I have to wait until it goes up again before I sell it out..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly exclaimed, "Why is it falling again? Thirteen? Twelve? Ten? Eight? ..."
"Still falling?!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of Lingwu grass plummeted from fifteen points per plant to six points per plant before it stabilized with difficulty.
"It should... go back up, right?"
After a long silence, looking at He Zhenghao who was distraught and confused, Li Fan had no choice but to comfort him in this way.
