Chu Yan, who was standing to one side, looked at the situation in front of her with a blank expression. What did this mean?
He can understand what they are saying, but why can't he understand the meaning?
No, that's not right. He understood. This pot of herbs was brought by his master's husband to repay the old man for the two boxes he had given him that morning.
The key point is that, judging from the old man's expression, it's as if this herb can make him live to be a hundred years old, or extend his life to ninety-nine years old. He was so excited about it.
"Master, is this old man a master at growing medicinal herbs? How come he can grow ten or a hundred plants from just one?"
Zhou Quan glanced at his innocent-looking eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes, he is a reclusive master."
"Oh, no wonder, you two knew each other before, didn't you?" Chu Yan asked again.
No wonder my parents said that my master and master's husband were disciples from a reclusive family in the martial arts world. All the people they knew were such reclusive masters.
He had forgotten that it was he who introduced Zhou Quan to the old man.
Zhou Quan glanced at him silently again. "Why do you ask that?"
“I just feel that you and Master have a similar aura,” Chu Yan said.
Zhou Quan gave him an approving look. Although he didn't know how to cultivate, his seven senses were very sharp.
"Hmm, you're not stupid." Zhou Quan rarely praised him after knowing him for so long.
Chu Yan immediately grinned, showing her white teeth, and chuckled twice.
It's such a pity that Zhong Hui didn't witness this scene.
Soon, the old man came out carrying a cloth bag. "Here you go, take it all. Use whichever one you need. From now on, I'll be locking up this yard and not entertaining anyone. Go on, go on!"
"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Quan didn't stand on ceremony, took the cloth bag, and led Chu Yan outside.
"Young Master Zhou, may I meet your wife another day?" the old man asked suddenly as he came to close the gate.
Zhou Quan nodded, "Okay, I'll bring her to see you when she's free."
"Hehe, that won't be necessary. Once I break through, I'll be able to find you." The old man chuckled, waved his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the door automatically locked, and he vanished from the spot.
The old man finally realized that this kid was amazing, and his wife was probably even more amazing. A person who could possess such a spiritual herb was no ordinary person, or perhaps, even a favorite of the Heavenly Dao.
He had once been a favorite of Heaven for decades, but unfortunately, after he made a mistake and lost the person who cared about him the most, he was stripped of his status by Heaven and thrown into this backward world.
After Zhou Quan and Chu Yan returned, Li Mai was talking to Madam Chu in the main courtyard.
Madam Chu's bleeding was heavier today. Every time she changed her menstrual pad, she would check it herself to make sure that nothing had been expelled.
Upon seeing Zhou Quan return, the couple went back to the courtyard where they were temporarily staying. Zhou Quan placed the cloth bag in front of her and said, "Take a look at what's inside. The old man gave it to us. He said that all the water and fire elemental artifacts he had were here."
Li Mai took them out one by one, filling the table with boxes, and her lips twitched.
Then, she divided them up again, pushing seven or eight of them towards Zhou Quan.
She placed four or five in front of her, and then slowly opened them one by one to look at them.
When Li Mai saw a dragon-shaped jade pendant radiating a blue aura, her eyes lit up.
“This is good, there’s a primordial spirit inside!” Li Mai said.
Zhou Quan was looking at the box in front of him when he heard this and was stunned. He quickly looked at her hand and recognized it at a glance. Sure enough, it was different from other spiritual artifacts.
The reason it's called a spiritual artifact isn't just because it contains a spirit beast; it could also be something used by other water-type cultivators, which would then have the spiritual power of those cultivators added to it.
Alternatively, there are also things from places rich in spiritual energy that have been thoroughly imbued with spiritual energy over time, which can also become spiritual artifacts. Furthermore, there are things that have been used by powerful beings and have gained sentience due to the influence of the sun and moon, which can also be considered spiritual artifacts.
In short, there are many possibilities for spiritual artifacts, but the most powerful ones are those that contain the spiritual energy of a spirit beast or divine beast's primordial soul.
"When will you try it?" Zhou Quan was also excited for her.
"After we finish dealing with Madam Chu, we'll go back to the courtyard my elder brother gave us, and I'll try to awaken my powers again."
Li Mai thought about it. She wasn't sure how long it would take for her to awaken or if any unexpected things might happen. So, she decided to finish dealing with Madam Chu's matter first.
“Okay, I know. You need to keep a close eye on the Chu family these next few days. I’ll handle things outside, keep an eye on Madam Yu, and I’ll also keep an eye on her family secretly,” Zhou Quan said softly.
"Okay, then be careful when you go out. You still need to practice your superpowers more every night. Since your memory is incomplete, you probably haven't remembered all of your previous superpowers!"
"Hmm, don't worry, there's no one in this capital city who can kill me right now," Zhou Quan said with a smile, glancing at her. "Except for you."
If the nemesis of the wood element is the fire element, then the nemesis of the fire element is the water element.
Once Li Mai awakens her water elemental root, she will definitely be the one who can kill her.
But if his water element also awakens, he will be completely invincible. However, he has decided not to awaken his water element in this life. For the two of them, one water element from Xiaomai is enough.
He didn't want to relive the loneliness and desolation of his memories, so he decided to stay by her side from now on, to be her closest lover and follower, and spend the rest of his life with her.
Even if I don't cultivate to the Heavenly Rank, it doesn't matter. With her by my side, my life is beautiful and happy.
