Chapter 35: Grid 18
Time flies like flowing water, and six days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Wudao had been living an exceptionally peaceful life these past few days, either making medicine at the Qige Medicinal Materials Workshop or visiting the young Doomsday Guard at the Stone Building. He devoted much of his time to cultivation, and his progress was remarkable, improving by leaps and bounds.
"I have successfully practiced the Art of Seducing Immortals!" Qi Meng ran over happily to Li Wudao in the hall on the second floor of Qige Medicinal Herbs Workshop, with the bronze bells on her jade feet jingling like a fairy leaping for joy.
Li Wudao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and was also happy for Qi Meng.
The difficulty of practicing mid-grade martial arts is incomparable to that of low-grade martial arts. Qi Meng was able to comprehend it within seven days, even under the guidance of Li Wudao, which can be regarded as an extraordinary comprehension.
"Are you going to break through to the Qi realm? It seems like you're going to catch up with me." Qi Meng sensed that Li Wudao's aura was getting stronger and stronger, and said with some emotion.
Qi Meng was once a True Qi Realm warrior, and Li Wudao was just a reckless man. Now, in just one month, Li Wudao is about to become a True Qi Realm warrior!
"No rush, I still have potential and can continue to develop my Dantian." Li Wudao has already placed an order with his downstream supplier to purchase a piece of medicinal herbs for his own use, and it will probably be delivered soon.
"You still want to continue digging! It's already sixteen inches of Qi sea!" Qi Meng was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Li Wudao as if he were a monster.
Qi Ling was a powerful warrior, so Qi Meng, under her father's guidance, carved out a twelve-inch Dantian, which was already a genius.
Li Wudao already has a sixteen-inch sea of true qi, but now he still wants to take the risk and continue!
"Not only me, you have to continue digging too." Li Wudao smiled indifferently, causing another uproar in Qi Meng's ears.
"This... is impossible. Father said that the sea of true qi can only be excavated in the Sea of Bitterness." Qi Meng looked unconvinced and shook her head at Li Wudao, saying, "I have already absorbed the true qi. There is no way I can excavate the sea of true qi."
This is common sense. Martial arts practice goes against the will of heaven and is filled with hardships and obstacles. We only hear of people moving forward, never of people turning back.
Looking at Qi Meng's beautiful eyes that were wide open, Li Wudao smiled meaningfully.
Ordinary people certainly couldn't do it, but who was Li Wudao? Standing on the shoulders of giants, he couldn't be judged by common sense.
"Are you out of money?" Li Wudao did not argue with Qi Meng, but instead brought up money.
Li Wudao has spent a lot of money recently. He spent one thousand taels to acquire Tong's medicine store, two thousand five hundred taels to buy slaves, and two thousand taels to build the Doomsday Guard, which is five thousand five hundred taels of silver. Now he has bought another one thousand taels of silver worth of medicinal materials for cultivation.
Poor in literature but rich in martial arts, the path of martial arts is really a gold-burning pit!
"There are only eight hundred taels left..." Qi Meng was speechless. Li Wudao had been spending money lavishly recently, and it felt like going back to the days before liberation.
"Well, give the hundred taels to the shopkeeper, and Luo Yuan and his wife will each get two hundred taels." Li Wudao said.
Luo Yuan and his wife helped him run the herbal medicine shop, so naturally they had to pay tribute to him. And the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the Doomsday Guards were all paid for by Shopkeeper Qian, so this money had to be paid.
Anyway, the herbal medicine shop is now fully operational. As the only herbal medicine shop in Yilong Town, it is doing brisk business and earning eight hundred taels a day.
As long as there is a little money enough for the medicine shop to operate, Li Wudao does not need to worry about money at all at the moment.
If you have money, spend it as much as you can!
Qi Meng nodded and took it to heart. The supplier delivered the medicine to her door, and Li Wudao took her downstairs to receive it.
A bucket of precious medicinal herbs was delivered to Qige Herb Shop. Qi Meng looked at the bucket of herbs and said to Li Wudao, "Is it this bucket of herbs that can help me reopen my sea of true energy?"
"What? There is such a thing!" Wen Qing was busy in the herbal medicine store. When he heard Qi Meng's words, he said with surprise.
Li Wudao nodded undeniably. The wounds on his arms were almost healed, so he went upstairs directly with the medicinal herbs.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wen Qing looked unconvinced. Seeing that there were no customers in the herbal medicine shop at the moment, he followed Li Wudao upstairs.
As for going back to the past, literary youths will never believe it!
Under Wen Qing's questioning gaze, Li Wudao began to refine the medicinal materials. This time the process was very complicated.
The dosage of each medicinal material and the order in which they are put into the barrel for boiling are very particular. Li Wudao took out a small scale and refined the medicinal materials into units of money. He must pursue perfection.
The wooden barrel was placed in an iron pot with water. As the fire burned underneath, hot steam baked into the barrel. Li Wudao put the medicinal materials in one by one and added water according to the proportion.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the huge wooden barrel, the potion was still calm, but its color turned golden, like a pool of liquid gold.
Li Wudao quickly extinguished the fire and waited for the potion to cool down.
"Is this the thing that can allow a martial artist in the True Qi realm to reopen his Dantian?" Wen Qing asked Li Wudao with a questioning look on his face.
"This medicine is called Wuyuan Liquid. It is used to protect the opening of Dantian and has the effect of temporarily dispelling true qi." Li Wudao introduced it to Wen Qing, and then asked Qi Meng to jump into the wooden barrel.
Qi Meng stared blankly. The steaming Wuyuan Liquid brought a hint of warmth in the autumn wind.
"What are you still standing there for? Take off your clothes quickly and go down. Don't waste Brother Li's kindness." Wen Qing saw Qi Meng in a daze and urged her with envy.
How many people have the opportunity and blessing to rebuild their sea of true qi!
Although these medicinal herbs are only worth a thousand taels, Li Wudao's prescription is worth ten thousand gold!
Qi Meng started to take off her clothes after hearing that. Although Li Wudao had already regarded Qi Meng as his wife, considering that the little girl was shy, he turned away and refused to look at her inappropriately.
"Wow! Your skin is so white!" Wen Qing said with sincere envy.
Li Wudao felt itchy after hearing this, and after a while he heard the sound of someone entering the water, and then he turned his head.
Qi Meng's body was soaked in Wuyuan liquid, and the golden liquid completely covered her beautiful figure.
"The true energy is really dissipating!" Qi Meng said in surprise.
"Really? That's impossible!" Wen Qing was shocked. Could it really be possible to go back? This was against common sense.
But Qi Meng began to promote the vital energy of heaven and earth and to dig the sea of true energy. This symbol of the sea of suffering made it impossible for her not to believe it.
"This... is really amazing!" Wen Qing was stunned and shocked.
"This is just auxiliary. In the end, it still depends on Qimeng herself." Li Wudao was very calm and told Qimeng to take it easy.
Why do ordinary people only open up the nine-inch sea of true qi? Because the further back you open up, the thinner the wall of the dantian becomes. If you are not careful, you will break the dantian and easily become disabled.
"That's right." Wen Qing looked at it with envy, and then the guy downstairs called her and she walked downstairs.
"Follow me and work hard. When I have money, I will arrange it for you." Li Wudao was very generous and made a promise to Wen Qing.
Wen Qing suddenly turned around and bowed to Li Wudao with gratitude.
Li Wudao smiled indifferently, sitting cross-legged beside the wooden barrel, protecting Qi Meng and waiting for her to finish digging the sea of true qi, and then he would start digging.
This bucket of Wuyuan liquid is enough for the two of them.
In the end, Qi Meng carved out a 15-inch sea of true qi, and Li Wudao carved out 18 inches in one go, and Qi Meng jokingly called him Ge Shiba.
An eighteen-inch sea of true qi is twice that of an ordinary person!
