Li Yiruo carried a basket of charcoal on her back, which was just the right weight for her, and ran all the way to the cafeteria to have her meal. She also chatted with Wang Xiuling.
She asked her with concern how many days it would take to finish tempering her body. Li Yirou saw through her at a glance and didn't want her to waste time in the dining hall.
"Six prescriptions of three doses of medicine, and one prescription of seven doses of medicine, will take a total of 25 days. Aunt Xiuling, I know how serious it is, so don't worry." After helping her clean up, Li Yirou carried the charcoal on her back and ran back to the small yard.
After doing horse stance for a while, Li Yiru saw that it was getting dark. It was about the same time as yesterday, so she started to boil water on the stove.
The walnut charcoal was indeed good, with only a small wisp of smoke and the fire burning vigorously. When she boiled the third pot of water, Lin Chunfang's voice came again from outside the backyard wall.
"Junior sister, are you there?"
Seeing that she had indeed arrived, Li Yirou curled her lips into a smile and replied, "I'm here, Senior Sister."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Chunfang jumped in from the courtyard wall again, "Senior Sister, I specially replaced the walnut charcoal, it should have no smell, right?" Li Yiru was uneasy, as if she was afraid of making her unhappy.
Seeing her squatting beside the clay stove with a streak of charcoal accidentally smeared on her face, Lin Chunfang's heart softened even more. In the eyes of her junior sister, she was probably a ferocious beast, and she was always cautious with her.
"You..." She coughed lightly and said a little unnaturally: "I happen to be free at this moment, so I will help you make medicine in the future."
In case she didn't know what he was talking about, he added, "Ordinary water takes at least a quarter of an hour to boil medicine. The water I condense with water spirit energy can shorten the time by 30%."
"I'm afraid of delaying my senior sister..." Li Yirou looked up at her, her eyes full of apology.
Lin Chunfang had already taken action and said nonchalantly, "It's a good opportunity to practice fire and water magic, no problem!"
"Senior sister is so amazing. I will be satisfied if I can be as powerful as her in the future." Li Yiru praised her at the right time, providing some emotional value.
He boiled water in a clay stove, roasted a few red dates and put them in a cup, and made her a cup of flower tea with tonic herbs.
"Senior sister, are you tired? Sit down and drink some water." Li Yirou brought her a small bamboo chair from somewhere and put a small table on it. The tea smelled fresh, and Lin Chunfang sat down and took a sip unconsciously.
It tastes really good. It replenishes some of the spiritual energy I consumed just now. It seems that there are spiritual herbs in this tea?
"You girl really know how to enjoy life." She was willing to use the nourishing spiritual herbs to make tea.
"When I was beaten that day, my master happened to give me some nourishing spiritual herbs. When I woke up, they had dried up. I had no choice but to make some tea, thinking that if any distinguished guests came, I would have something to entertain them." She smiled embarrassedly, but her expression was full of fear.
Lin Chunfang choked. She was really talking about something that was out of place. She wondered if there was another reason for this. Perhaps her junior sister's beating was a reward from the master. Perhaps this was karma...
Moreover, this junior sister was reluctant to make tea for herself, so she made a cup for her, saying that she was an honored guest. Lin Chunfang was coaxed into a trance and was even more willing to do it. "You make it, I'm going back."
"Don't boil water tomorrow. I'll come over now." He finished his tea, took a few steps, and then turned back. "If anyone bullies you again, I won't let him off."
"Senior sister... thank you... thank you, senior sister." Tears welled up in Li Yiru's eyes. Lin Chunfang was so moved to see her so much. She had always been tongue-tied and easily said the wrong thing. She didn't know how to coax her. She also regretted not getting to know the junior sister earlier. She could only pretend not to see it and quickly climbed over the wall to leave.
But she became more determined in her heart and would never let any Tom, Dick or Harry bully her again.
Li Yiru's tears were partly acting and partly the pain from the drug taking effect, but she didn't expect Lin Chunfang to be so gullible.
You know, even Minjing and Wang Xiuling were indifferent to her tears at first, but they didn't expect that Lin Chunfang, who seemed to hate her the most, would take the bait.
Senior Sister is pretty good. But Aunt Xiuling's insistence also makes sense. No matter how good others are, they can't be as strong as herself.
Li Yiru endured the pain and jumped into the bathtub.
When she came out, Taxue was guarding by her side. When he saw her about to get up, he seemed to be afraid of being splashed by water, so he jumped down and went back to the house.
Li Yiru wrapped her hair and went back.
She boiled the extra medicine bags in a small basin, but she couldn't condense water, so she used the water she had collected. She boiled it for more than ten minutes and gave it to Taxue. "It will be a little painful, you have to bear with it."
As he said that, he carried it in and stood guard to prevent it from running out.
Taxue was very well behaved, as if it knew it was for its own good. It also imitated her, sometimes sinking its head in and sometimes coming out to take a few breaths.
Li Yiru was relieved and didn't pay much attention to it. She lit the lamp and read a book for a while. This time she was reading "The Complete Collection of Talismans".
The most basic, that is, the first-grade talisman, is made of yellow paper, cinnabar and a brush. The monk uses cinnabar to draw talismans on the paper by attracting spiritual energy. Different talismans have different drawing patterns.
Its function overlaps with that of a formation, but generally a formation is difficult to move, while a talisman attached to the body can be moved without restrictions.
However, the talisman's duration is very short, and its effect is not as strong as that of an array. Generally, a first-grade talisman is valid for half an hour at most, and this is an almost perfect one.
High-level talismans require the cultivator to have deeper spiritual power or use better materials, and spiritual power is relatively more important.
For example, no matter how good the things are given to her at the moment, she cannot draw them into a talisman in one go.
Li Yiru put away the book, touched the water which was almost cold, and took Taxue out to dry it. The little guy was originally listless due to pain, but after coming out, he recovered his spirits like her and shook off the water stuck on his fur.
Before she could stop him, he had already splashed all over her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was her own fault. What else could she do? She wiped the small water droplets off herself and turned back to practice.
The next day, Li Yirou was about to lift weights when Lin Chunfang's voice came from the back wall again, "Junior sister, are you there?"
Li Yirou smiled and replied, "Yes, Senior Sister."
Lin Chunfang probably heard her movements, so she asked.
"Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. There are disciples practicing fighting skills in the martial arts arena. I'll take you to see it."
Li Yiru responded obediently, "Okay, Senior Sister, wait for me." Then she went to find her at the gate of her courtyard.
On the way, I was still wondering what Lin Chunfang was going to do. After all, she wouldn't take her out out of boredom and let everyone laugh at her, right?
When she saw Lin Chunfang, Li Yirou's eyes were full of trust and excitement.
Seeing her like this, Lin Chunfang felt very satisfied, as if she had finally gained the recognition and trust of others.
When the two of them arrived, thirty-one disciples had gathered in the martial arts arena, including twenty-three inner disciples and eight outer disciples, some of whom had already started fighting in pairs.
Some were competing in magic spells, while others were fighting with weapons. Various magic spells were used in the battle, and swords flashed and shadowed back and forth. Li Yirou was dazzled and admired silently.
Some disciples saw Lin Chunfang with a young girl and guessed that it was the one with the five spiritual roots, so many people's spiritual consciousness came to probe without hesitation.
