Chapter 159

Therefore, the Iron-Clad Marquis specially came to notify him, so that when Suxin arrives, he won't have run far away!

Having said what needed to be said, the Iron-Clad Marquis chatted with Li Lianhua for a few more words and then turned and left!

Li Lianhua returned to his room and put away the Gourmet Tablecloth.

As for the remaining bowls and dishes? Because they were conjured by the Gourmet Tablecloth, as the tablecloth was put away, these plates and dishes also disappeared together.

This saved him the time of cleaning up.

Regarding this, Li Lianhua was very satisfied!

The night was long, and Li Lianhua thought he hadn't seen the "Fox Spirit" for some days and actually missed it.

With a thought, he released the Fox Spirit from the doghouse in the Lotus Pavilion in his storage ring!

The Fox Spirit that had just been released was a bit confused!

Because time in the storage ring is frozen, for the Fox Spirit, it was still in the Lotus Pavilion a second ago.

But in the blink of an eye, it had come to such a strange place?

However, seeing Li Lianhua beside it, the Fox Spirit wagged its tail and approached very enthusiastically!

The stranger the environment, the more it relied on its master!

After petting the Fox Spirit's head and stroking it a few times to satisfy his longing, Li Lianhua threw it back into the storage ring!

Anyway, time in the storage ring is frozen, and the Fox Spirit won't feel lonely inside.

Now that he was temporarily staying in this Dragon-Protecting Villa, it was indeed not very convenient to bring the Fox Spirit!

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Lianhua sat cross-legged and continued to practice the Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

Previously, because of the Long Yuan fragments, Li Lianhua's cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the Yuqing Realm, not far from the ninth layer!

Now, after these days of practice, Li Lianhua could feel his true energy becoming more and more vigorous, and he was getting closer and closer to the ninth layer; it seemed he was only a step away!

In his current state, he felt that breaking through to the ninth layer at any time would not be strange!

Thus, after practicing well for a night, Li Lianhua opened his eyes, feeling his true energy was a bit more concentrated and, at the same time, a bit more refined!

Most importantly, he had been seven or eight parts drunk drinking with Yaoyue last night, and now that he had woken up after a night, his mind had become much clearer!

Thinking about giving the storage bag to Yaoyue last night, and holding the banknotes Yaoyue gave him last night and sniffing them, saying they were very fragrant!

Li Lianhua felt awkward thinking about it afterwards!

He could only say that he was indeed quite open after drinking!

As for giving away the storage bag, Li Lianhua didn't feel heartache.

After all, that was a prop he had long since discarded!

By the way, the banknotes...

After pondering for a moment, Li Lianhua's mind stirred, and he thought of the banknotes Yaoyue had given him last night!

He took this stack of banknotes out of his storage ring and looked at them, and then Li Lianhua widened his eyes!

120,000 taels; Yaoyue had actually sent him 120,000 taels of banknotes in one go!

Good guy, before, when he cured Lianxing's leg ailment, Yaoyue only gave him a consultation fee of 30,000 to 40,000 taels!

But after giving them two Youth-Preserving Pills, Yaoyue actually sent him 120,000 taels of medicine money?

"Sure enough, I still underestimated women's pursuit of the Youth-Preserving Pill? Especially these peerless beauties, who want to preserve their appearance even more!"

Looking at the 120,000 taels of banknotes in his hand, Li Lianhua sighed secretly!

Thinking about it this way, having given Yaoyue a storage bag, he had nothing to feel heartache about!

Shaking his head, with these 120,000 taels of banknotes, Li Lianhua's consultation fee total had broken through the 200,000 mark again!

He checked; next, for him to exchange for a treasure chest, it would cost a sky-high price of 155,000 taels!

Li Lianhua didn't hesitate; not only did the 120,000 taels Yaoyue just sent, but also the silver he originally had left, disappear quite a bit!

Then, a treasure chest appeared before Li Lianhua!

He checked; the price to exchange for the next treasure chest had soared to a sky-high price of 180,000!

And the silver he had left was only 60,000+!

Shaking his head, Li Lianhua had long since learned not to dwell on these things!

Regardless, he had a treasure chest; that was the most important thing!

With a thought, Li Lianhua opened the treasure chest, and a brilliant light burst forth, as always!

Immediately after, Li Lianhua could see a cloud of misty light appearing in the treasure chest, quickly merging into his mind!

Almost at the same time, a feeling of enlightenment rose from the bottom of his heart!

Li Lianhua felt as if he had forgotten something for a long time and suddenly remembered it!

This cloud of light was a ninjutsu called the Shadow Clone Technique!

Before, Li Lianhua had opened a Clone Technique, which belonged to one of the basic three-body techniques of the Naruto world; the clones were just illusions and could be used to attract the opponent's attention!

But this Shadow Clone is different; the clones are not just illusions, but physical clones capable of combat, which can be considered an advanced ninjutsu of the Clone Technique.

However, it hadn't reached the level of the forbidden technique—the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

This Shadow Clone, according to the amount of power, distributes a certain amount of power; generally, it splits into a single-digit number of clones, of course, it can also split into a dozen!

But like the forbidden technique, splitting into a thousand, or even thousands of shadow clones?

That is absolutely impossible!

"Not bad, paired with the illusions of the Clone Technique, this physical clone of the Shadow Clone Technique, with real and fake, makes it even harder for others to deal with!"

Thinking that the ability he opened was the Shadow Clone Technique, Li Lianhua pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

He was quite satisfied with the extraction of this ninjutsu!

Thus, he had another functional skill!

Skills don't weigh you down; when opening treasure chests, being able to open a few more skills, Li Lianhua felt it was also a good choice!

"Divine Doctor Li, someone is looking for you outside!"

Early this morning, a secret agent of the Dragon-Protecting Villa came to Li Lianhua and said!

"Looking for me? Who is it?" Hearing this, Li Lianhua asked curiously.

"Lu Xiaofeng!" The secret agent replied!

"Lu Xiaofeng?" Hearing this, Li Lianhua raised his eyebrows and nodded!

Sure enough, walking out, he saw Lu Xiaofeng waiting for him, but he was alone; Hua Manlou and Sikong Zhaixing were not there!

"Divine Doctor Li, you, you came to the capital and didn't even tell me?"

Lu Xiaofeng? His personality is very free and easy, so he has friends all over the world.

To put it more commonly, he has a bit of "social butterfly" syndrome; standing up and smiling to greet Li Lianhua, he looked very familiar, but it didn't make people feel disgusted!

"How about it? Has the last case been solved?" With a smile on his face, Li Lianhua asked Lu Xiaofeng!

Last time when he and Hua Manlou came to find him, they asked for information on the counterfeit money case, and he told him the identity of the mastermind directly; so many days had passed, he must have solved the case!

This counterfeit money case even shocked the Emperor; Zhu Houzhao had limited him to solving the case within three days at the time!

"Divine Doctor Li, you told me the identity of the mastermind, so knowing the identity of the mastermind, it was much easier for me to find evidence to verify it!" Hearing Li Lianhua ask about the case, Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile!

"Hmm, for you, this is indeed not a difficult thing!" Hearing this, Li Lianhua nodded in agreement!

In the original work, even if Lu Xiaofeng investigated it himself, he could slowly find out that the mastermind was Luo Ma!

Now, he had told him the answer in advance, so it couldn't be a difficult thing for him!

"Divine Doctor Li, the commotion you made in the capital this time is not small!" After the two exchanged greetings, Lu Xiaofeng said to Li Lianhua with a look of amazement!

"The commotion is not small? Did I cause any trouble in this capital?" Hearing what Lu Xiaofeng said, Li Lianhua was stunned and looked at him, almost unable to believe his ears!

He came to the capital and lived in seclusion in the Dragon-Protecting Villa; he really didn't do anything, right? Didn't he just treat Wheel King and then offer a few Youth-Preserving Pills in the palace?

"Divine Doctor Li, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Although not everyone knows the news of the Youth-Preserving Pill now, the circle of power and wealth knows it!"

"Just yesterday, when I was drinking and talking about life with Yu Ruyi, even she knew about it!"

"Oh, by the way, Divine Doctor Li, you might not know Yu Ruyi, right? She is the top courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Building in the capital, and she is my friend, a good friend!" Lu Xiaofeng explained to Li Lianhua!

These words made Li Lianhua's mouth twitch slightly!

Well, although the news of the Youth-Preserving Pill was not specially publicized, seeing Noble Consort Liu send someone to contact him that day, and he did indeed nod and agree.

So, the news of the Youth-Preserving Pill is no longer a secret in the harem!

And those women in the harem are mostly daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles, so they knew, and might even have to use the power of their natal families to collect medicinal herbs.

So, in the circle of power and wealth in the capital, the news about the Youth-Preserving Pill is no longer a secret! ===== CHAPTER 161 =====
