“So Lu Li, you might really cause the downfall of cities and kingdoms with your smile in the future.”
Qing Luo also activated her Charm Spiritual Root to resist the innate charm in Lu Li’s speech.
“Thinking about you going everywhere in the future, with countless talented men proposing to you, that picture… hahaha, I definitely want to see it!”
“It’s both good and bad.”
After trying to converse for the time it takes a few cups of tea, Lu Li gave up controlling his tone. The more he tried to control, the more his words carried a teasing feeling.
“By the way, Qing Luo, I’ll need your help recently.”
“We do need to help, otherwise the senior and junior sisters outside our small courtyard wanting to be with you will have to line up again.”
Qing Luo looked up at the gradually thickening Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the air.
“Lu Li, why don’t you just stop being a man? There are several more cultivation techniques left, so cultivate them all at once.”
“No, no, no, that absolutely won’t do.”
Lu Li quickly waved his hand.
“Then I really won’t be able to go back.”
“I think it’s quite fun this way.”
Qing Luo narrowed her eyes as she examined Lu Li.
“I imagine a little: in the future, your face will be peach-blossom pink, your voice will be mellifluous, your body will carry a strange fragrance. If you touch someone, they’ll tremble and be unable to stand. Then say a few words, and their souls will fly away… tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of being our Yin Yang Sect’s Saintess.”
“So I just hope such days come a little later.”
Lu Li looked at the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathering in the air.
“Qing Luo, the good news is that our courtyard’s spiritual qi is sufficient now.”
“Yes, the moment you, this charming saintess, speak, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathers infatuatedly.”
Qing Luo casually grabbed, and the mist-like spiritual qi in her hand instantly turned into spirit liquid.
“We need to tidy up the garden a bit.”
“I completely agree.”
Lu Li now fully understood the power of the Charm Spiritual Root.
During the time he had just conversed with Qing Luo, the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees had started growing like crazy.
On one hand, it was the effect of his Charm Spiritual Root, making these plants try to get close to him.
On the other hand, spiritual qi began to converge, so the weed seeds brought by birds also spread wantonly.
“Wait a moment, Lu Li.”
Qing Luo pulled out the grass blades by the roots.
“Can your Enchanting Sound make some weeds wither automatically?”
“It should… be possible, but I haven’t been in the sect long and don’t know which are spiritual herbs and which are weeds.”
Lu Li came to the edge of the garden.
“Is what you’re holding in your hand one, Qing Luo?”
“That’s right, I almost forgot, you’ve only been in the sect for a little over two months.”
Qing Luo held the wantonly growing grass blades.
“This is Silver Leaf Grass. As for whether it’s useful… it’s barely so. But it’s not completely useless either.”
“For example?”
“Common Silver Leaf Grass is used to weave money pouches, bags, and mixing it into cloth makes it more wear-resistant.”
Qing Luo explained.
“But if it’s older Silver Leaf Grass, it can be used for talisman paper. But that takes a full ten years, too long.”
“Qing Luo, you’re quite skilled in this area.”
Lu Li reached out and stroked the blade of the Silver Leaf Grass.
But he didn’t expect the slender blade to suddenly expand a lot.
It even became as thick as an arm.
During this, the spiritual qi in the sky rapidly infused into it.
“Of course, I’ve been in the sect for so long, I’ve learned a lot in various aspects… but, Lu Li, from your expression, you’ve come up with some strange and fun plan again, right?”
Qing Luo saw Lu Li with brows slightly knitted, lips pursed, head down, fingers circling.
“Does it have to do with herbs?”
“Yes. Earlier, I promised Shen Zhaoxue to give her Flower and Grass Dew every month.”
Lu Li turned sideways and picked up a petal beside him.
“On one hand, if I gather too much, the flowers will wither. Second, gathering takes me some time.”
“But now that I’ve practiced the Enchanting Sound, the effect of summoning Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is more obvious… Instead, we can use this.”
Lu Li pointed and a drop of Flower and Grass Dew suspended in the air.
“Then we can save time for cultivation, and also plant some rare flowers and herbs that can sell for more spirit stones.”
Qing Luo nodded and took out a porcelain bottle from her storage bag.
“All good things.”
“Yes.”
Lu Li put the Flower and Grass Dew into the porcelain bottle.
“Let’s begin!”
According to the original plan, he could only get one Foundation Building Pill every three months.
That was already very fast, but for Lu Li, it seemed rather long. He also had to spend enough time every day collecting Flower and Grass Dew to earn spirit stones.
But if the courtyard’s spiritual qi was abundant, and he chose rare spiritual herbs, and had the Miscellaneous Service Disciples help gather…
That night, Lu Li and Qing Luo went to the market square within the Mountain Gate, and using the weapons, talismans, and pills collected from the previous trial, they exchanged for many spiritual herbs and transplanted them into the small courtyard.
Spiritual herbs themselves had the effect of gathering spiritual qi.
Paired with Lu Li’s Charm Spiritual Root, by nightfall, after the two had expanded the flower bed three times in size, the original pond even turned into a spiritual pool containing spiritual power.
“Lu Li, I really think you shouldn’t be a man anymore.”
Qing Luo wiped the sweat from her forehead as she watched Lu Li, whose every move and soft word made the plants take root.
“Bargaining with senior and junior sisters today was also so convenient.”
“I agree, so I feel very conflicted.”
Lu Li remembered the conversation tonight, which was so smooth it felt like a dream.
Most senior and junior sisters, upon seeing the bracelet on his left wrist, generously parted with their treasures.
The few who insisted, once they caught a glimpse of his eyes, completely fell.
Even those with firm Dao hearts, upon hearing him speak, all offered the spiritual plants they had privately collected.
Naturally, Lu Li and Qing Luo also paid appropriate pills and talismans.
“I’m starting to look forward to your downhill training, Lu Li.”
After Qing Luo finished planting the herbs, she lowered her voice.
“Do you know Martial Uncle Cheng Suwen from the Alchemy Room?”
“I do. We asked her for waste pills before.”
Lu Li still remembered that smiling elder.
“She was like you, Lu Li, also a man before. When she went down the mountain for training at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she brought back a large group of followers to the sect… but afterward, they scattered into Hundred Immortals Town. It’s said that some people still can’t forget Martial Uncle Cheng Suwen.”
“I’ll be careful, so when I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage and go down the mountain for trial, I’ll use my male form.”
Lu Li said.
Qing Luo drooped her head in disappointment.
“That’s too bad.”
“What’s there to regret?”
Lu Li smiled, and several nearby flowers also bloomed in response.
“Then I won’t get to see our Yin Yang Sect’s Saintess go out and have the Saint Sons of the major sects and holy lands all propose marriage.”
Qing Luo flipped her wrist and took out an ancient book.
“About three hundred years ago, a Foundation Establishment Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect went down the mountain, and it caused quite a stir in the martial world and immortal cultivation realm.”
“So I will definitely avoid that.”
Lu Li looked at the book.
“But Qing Luo, lend me this book for a look.”
“What, want to learn how to charm the world?!”
“No, to avoid charming the world.”
Lu Li watched as Qing Luo directly handed the book over.
“…I think it should be very difficult.”
