Chapter 72: He's actually a genius at alchemy!
Back in the courtyard, Lian'er, hearing the commotion, peeked out in confusion and immediately saw Li Yang holding the ethereal cat.
"Oh, why are you back so early today?"
Subtext: Oh, not out gallivanting around today?
Li Yang sighed and gestured backward with her lips, "I've picked up a troublesome person. I'd appreciate it if Lian'er could help me settle in."
Before Lian'er could say anything, Li Yang carried the ethereal cat back to her room.
That cat is really stupid. It didn't even know to dodge. Just thinking about the "bang" it got hit made Li Yang shudder.
And then there was that boy. You know, the arrogant ghost's people had been searching for so long without finding the colorful cat, but he not only found it, but it just so happened that it was when she was leaving the palace to see the arrogant ghost off.
Li Yang's consciousness sank. "Fei Tian, are you free now?"
The Flying Tooth Tiger quickly replied, "What's wrong? White Bird and I are looking after the demon beasts. I don't know why, but the demonic power in the demon land has been fluctuating lately."
"The ethereal cat has been found. It is currently in a coma. I have channeled my demonic energy into it, but it has not yet woken up."
There was a moment of silence over there. It must have been the Flying Tooth Tiger talking to the White Bird about this. After a while, it said, "The White Bird said that the illusory spirit cat is still in its cub state. It can't wake up because its demonic power is exhausted. It wants you to send it back to the demon land. The Spirit Restoration Flower can help it recover."
Li Yang immediately refused, "No, the Silent Forest is fraught with danger right now. The person behind capturing the Void Spirit Cat is likely trying to find the location of the Demon Realm. I can't take the risk. What other way is there?"
"Also... feed you your blood, one drop a day, and you'll recover in a few days."
Li Yang glanced at the cat pancake curled up in a ball, "I understand, you all guard the demon territory well."
"Wait, girl!"
"Okay, go ahead." Li Yang took out a pill, forced out a drop of blood to mix with it, and then put it into the mouth of the ethereal cat.
Flying Red Tiger stammered for a long time before finally saying, "It's just... White Bird said... there are many demons who have taken human form hidden in Fengyang Kingdom, and if possible, she would like you to protect them."
Ever since learning that demons could also become evil, Bai Niao has been very worried about these great demons. Although they have integrated into the human race, they are still demons of their own race in the end.
Li Yang covered the ethereal cat with the blanket, a dark glint flashing in her eyes for a moment. "I understand."
There was a rapid knocking at the door, and a weak but still determined young man calling out to her.
"Princess, how is the cat?"
Li Yang frowned almost imperceptibly, but the moment she opened the door, her arrogant and domineering expression returned.
"What's wrong with you, kid? I've already told you the cat is mine. Are you trying to steal it from me by sticking around like this?!"
After she finished speaking, she finally saw that the boy standing in front of her was not even as tall as her shoulder, and half of his face looked like it had been burned beyond recognition.
It's pretty ugly.
Dong Xiubei naturally saw the disdain in her eyes and harbored a deep grudge against her.
The day you beg me, I'll show you what it feels like to be worse than dead!
Dong Xiubei concealed his true feelings and put on a pitiful expression. "Princess, that's not what I meant. I was just afraid you would hurt it. Since you saved me, I'm willing to take care of this cat for you. Please let me stay, okay?"
"Okay!"
Li Yang readily agreed. After all, she was a doctor, and if the colorful cat had been drugged by him, she would be able to detect it immediately. Moreover, her father and mother had arranged a full schedule for her these past few days, with her learning martial arts moves from her grandfather in the morning and medicine making in the afternoon. She really didn't have much time to watch over the colorful cat.
Upon thinking of this, she slapped her forehead.
Oh no! Her mother told her to report to the pharmacy this afternoon, but she forgot because she was so busy!
She threw down the words, "If anything happens to the colorful cat, you're in big trouble!" and then lifted her skirt and sprinted out of the yard.
Watching her retreating figure, Dong Xiubei let out a cold laugh.
Previously, sensing the demonic aura emanating from this woman, I assumed she was the Demon King. Now, it seems that this woman is not only arrogant and domineering with a princess complex, but also that all the Demon Kings throughout history have regarded the Void Spirit Cat as their confidant. This woman not only called the Void Spirit Cat by the wrong name but also entrusted the Void Spirit Cat to me with peace of mind, which shows that she has no idea about the Void Spirit Cat's identity.
This woman must be just a lowly demon who used some tricks to bewitch the emperor and empress of Fengyang and gain their protection.
At this moment, Li Yang had no idea that Dong Xiubei had thoroughly analyzed her, and that she had successfully shaken off his suspicions.
She had only one thought in her mind: Ugh, when I was little I was late for school, when I grew up I was on time for work, and now that I've mastered cultivation I'm still late!
When will these dark days ever end?
Most importantly, Rou Sheng had repeatedly warned them not to offend this teacher, as Feng Yang had gone to great lengths to recruit him from the Medicine Sect!
……
pharmacy.
An old man dressed in a green robe stood at the door with a ruler in his hand, his shrewd eyes fixed on Li Yang as he rushed over, the ruler in his hand itching to strike.
When Li Yang saw what was in his hand, she gasped. Just as she was about to reach the door, her knees buckled, and she gracefully slid in to wish Yun Leizi a Happy New Year.
"Hello... good afternoon!"
Li Yang forced a stiff smile, racking her brains for a long time but couldn't find the old man's name.
You're so stupid! Why did it have to crash at such a crucial moment?!
Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Yun Leizi stopped making things difficult for her. "I am Yun Leizi, please get up."
"Good Le!"
Li Yang rubbed her knees hard before getting up and following him into the pharmacy.
The pharmacy had three walls lined with towering shelves filled with medicinal herbs, and three tripods arranged in a triangular shape in the middle.
Yun Leizi walked ahead, gently tapping his palm with the ruler as he went.
"I heard from the Emperor that the princess is lively and active, but no matter what her personality is, she has to restrain herself here. If she wants to do dancing or swordplay, she'd better get lost now."
"Understood, understood." Li Yang nodded hurriedly, thinking to herself that he really was a big shot with a big temper.
"Well, your task today is to identify all the medicinal herbs in my pharmacy."
Li Yang glanced around and said somewhat embarrassedly, "What if I recognize all these medicinal herbs?"
My mother read her book, "To Avoid Being Poisoned, First Learn the Complete Herbal Encyclopedia," twice. The pharmacy doesn't even have as many herbs as that book.
"What!" Yun Leizi turned around in disbelief, casually pointing the ruler at the herbs on the shelf. "What's this called?"
Blue violet.
Yun Leizi glanced at it and realized she had answered correctly. He quickly pointed to a taller one, "What about that one?"
"Lotus leaf".
"that……"
"Wisteria root".
"The tallest one!"
"The Flower of Destiny's End".
Yun Leizi said in a fantastical way, "Then sit down and watch me refine pills!"
Li Yang obediently pulled up a futon and sat down next to him, but unexpectedly, Yun Leizi was interrupted by Li Yang when he took the first step.
"Um... the first step in refining the Blood Restoration Pill you wanted was to put in Moon Spirit Grass, right? You put in Wisteria Root first..."
Yun Leizi's forehead veins bulged as he stretched out his hand, "If you're so good, then you do it!"
"This isn't a good idea..." Li Yang blinked, but her body honestly shifted to Yun Lei Zi's position. "Well, I can only refine one at a time..."
Yun Leizi sneered, "If you can refine even half of it, I'll call you master!"
Half an hour later, Yun Leizi stared at the round pill lying quietly in his palm, his body frozen in place.
Li Yang looked at him, a strange expectation in her eyes.
"Master... Master, your disciple Yun Leizi greets you!"
