Chapter 715

~7 min read 1,307 words

Li Shui's face changed drastically, and then he said somewhat decadently:

"It's over, I'm afraid my Spirit-Nourishing Pill has exploded the furnace again…"

Upon hearing this, Himeko covered her mouth and giggled.

Li Shui's alchemy record so far is only fourteen furnaces of pills.

It seems like a lot, but you have to know…

Even Tighnari, who just joined Big Bamboo Peak and was even focused on studying the beast-taming school.

has already refined more than thirty furnaces of pills. As for Bai Zhu and Lisa, that's nearly a thousand furnaces.

As the first disciple of Big Bamboo Peak, Li Shui really has no say in alchemy.

But when it comes to taking care of spirit fields and cultivating spirit herbs, everyone in Big Bamboo Peak combined can't compare to him.

Counting it up, it can be considered that everyone has their own specialty.

But Li Shui has always stubbornly believed that he must be an alchemy genius.

Everyone persuaded him several times, and then gave up.

"Junior Sister Himeko, what are you doing at Big Bamboo Peak? Could it be that you need some pills?"

Li Shui's eyes lit up, and he happily took out a pile of jade bottles.

"Come, Senior Brother has a batch of pills that just came out of the furnace a few days ago. You take them to try… cough, use them casually."

Himeko was shocked and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no! Thank you, Senior Brother Li Shui, I don't need them. I'm just here to find Senior Sister Lisa. There are some things that need her help."

"Tsk… is that so?"

Li Shui was somewhat regretful, and looked at Theresa and the others again, full of kindness:

"Then you guys…"

"No! They don't need them either! Senior Brother Li Shui, thank you for your hospitality, we're leaving first!"

After saying that, Himeko grabbed Theresa and Kiana, desperately winked at the others, and followed her to escape.

Li Shui looked at everyone's backs with some pity.

He always felt that whenever it came to giving pills, everyone was unusually polite.

In the distance, Kiana, who had been dragged by Himeko all the way, reacted and broke free from Himeko, muttering:

".〃 Why are you doing this, Teacher Himeko? Why didn't you let Senior Brother Li Shui give us pills?"

Himeko rolled her eyes and complained:

"Do you think I'm harming you? Listen to me, if you don't want to die, you must not eat any of the pills given by Senior Brother Li Shui!"

"Senior Brother Li Shui is the first disciple of Shushan Big Bamboo Peak. No one in Shushan can match him in taking care of spirit fields and cultivating spirit herbs."

"But only in alchemy… he once poisoned an Outer Sect Elder with a Resurrection Pill for treating injuries."

"You have to know, all Outer Sect Elders are at least at the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Cultivators are like this, you guys, you can't handle it even more…"

"Remember, Senior Brother Li Shui's pills are a taboo in Shushan. You absolutely cannot eat them yourself, but if you want to poison someone, it's definitely first-class."

"Senior Brother Li Shui has the invincible talent of refining any high-quality medicinal materials into poison pills. This is recognized even by the Sect Leader."

"It's just that Senior Brother Li Shui feels that his alchemy talent is still very good."

Everyone was somewhat scared, and Theresa looked at Himeko with gratitude.

"Thank you, Himeko! If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to see tomorrow's sun!"

Himeko spread her hands helplessly.

"Don't say these things in front of Senior Brother Li Shui in the future. He still cares a lot about alchemy."

"However, you must also have a good relationship with Senior Brother Li Shui. Senior Brother Li Shui is the only existence in Shushan besides the Sect Leader who can cultivate six-grade spirit herbs."

"Six-grade spirit herbs have reached the point of bringing the dead back to life. No matter how long they have been dead, as long as the body is not rotten, the spirit herb enters the mouth, and they can return to life."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't see that the man who looked like an old farmer had such ability.

No wonder he could dominate the position of first disciple of Big Bamboo Peak without knowing alchemy.

Himeko took everyone to continue moving forward, and suddenly, noticed Tartaglia and Bai Zhu standing at the door of Bai Zhu's cave dwelling.

Himeko raised her eyebrows and leaned over.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Bai Zhu, Junior Brother Tartaglia."

449. Durandal and Kevin targeted by Tartaglia, let's fight!

"It's Himeko. You're back. Are these friends from that world of yours?"

Bai Zhu smiled gently and looked at everyone behind Himeko.

Himeko nodded slightly.

"They are geniuses I brought back to join Shushan."

"Oh?"

Bai Zhu became somewhat serious, observed for a moment, and nodded:

"It seems their aptitude is not bad… maybe they will be fellow disciples in the future."

As he spoke, Bai Zhu took out some jade bottles and handed them to Theresa and the others.

"This can be considered my meeting gift to you."

Theresa, having experienced Li Shui's encounter just now, was somewhat afraid to take them, but Himeko said with a smile:

"Accept them. Senior Brother Bai Zhu is one of the two alchemy geniuses of Big Bamboo Peak, and is best at refining three-grade Spring-Returning Pills and three-grade Spirit-Gathering Powder."

"These things, in the Merit Hall, one bottle costs thousands of contribution points."

Upon hearing this, Theresa and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly took them.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai Zhu."

"Just a small favor."

Bai Zhu smiled and added:

"It seems you just went to Senior Brother Li Shui. Did he ask you to test pills for him again?"

Himeko shrugged helplessly.

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, that was the meaning…"

"Ah this… you didn't take them, right?"

Tartaglia swallowed hard and said with emotion:

"The pill that Senior Brother Li Shui refined earlier exploded the furnace and became medicinal powder. Senior Brother Li Shui said it was an improved version of the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, which could be dissolved in water and drunk as a beverage."

"Then… an Outer Sect Elder who didn't believe in evil tried it, and now he's lying in the cave dwelling in a coma."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt somewhat scared.

"Senior Brother Li Shui… really has some talent."

Himeko sighed, and Bai Zhu on the side said helplessly:

"No way, this is Senior Brother Li Shui's hobby. He works hard to cultivate spirit herbs, so we can't hurt his heart."

Himeko smiled politely but awkwardly, and added:

"Junior Brother Tartaglia, you are not on Dragon Head Peak, what are you doing on Big Bamboo Peak?"

"Ah!"

Tartaglia shrugged.

"Isn't the Shushan world evolved into a Great Thousand World? I plan to organize a team to explore outside. Now I have called Diluc and Kaeya."

"I just need Senior Brother Bai Zhu to help refine pills."

"Senior Brother Bai Zhu, come with us. Although we made a fortune in the Dragon Palace, we can't hold on if we only spend and don't earn."

Bai Zhu gave a wry smile and said helplessly:

"It's not that I don't want to go, I'm refining four-grade Life-Restoring Pills, so I really can't leave."

"Why don't you go find Tighnari and the others?"

Tartaglia scratched his cheek in distress.

"That won't work… Junior Brother Tighnari and the others are busy with Sumeru recently… Forget it, then I'll find someone else."

Bai Zhu nodded slightly, looked at Himeko again, and asked curiously:

"Junior Sister Himeko, do you have anything to do at Big Bamboo Peak by bringing them here?"

Himeko slapped her head.
