Chapter 34 Space Stone

But before going home, Li Yu was still going to find out if there was anyone selling spirit grass. If there was, it would be perfect.

The antique market is very large, at least two or three miles away. In addition to places selling antiques, there are also places where calligraphy, paintings or ancient costumes are traded.

Li Yu has been wandering around some places that sell groceries, looking at one by one, and finally at a corner stall, Li Yu saw what he wanted.

Li Yu walked over without moving, looked around the booth, and finally pointed to the spirit grass and asked, "What is that, and how much does it cost?"

The boss is a fat man. Seeing Li Yu pointing at the weird-looking grass, he said: "I dug that thing on the mountain, because it looks weird and looks pretty."

"500 yuan!" said the man.

"Deal!" Li Yu immediately took out 500 yuan, then picked up the spirit grass, turned around and left.

Just a few steps away, Li Yu suddenly heard someone calling him, and turned around suspiciously.

A middle-aged man in a suit ran over. The man looked at the spirit grass in Li Yu's hand, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and said, "Brother, can you sell me the spirit grass in your hand? I am willing to sell it to you." Double the price."

Li Yu frowned slightly, pretending to be ignorant and asked: "What? Do you know this thing?" Li Yu raised the spirit grass in his hand.

There was a fiery look in the man's eyes, he nodded hastily, and said, "I am dissatisfied with you, my wife has a strange disease and needs this spiritual herb to cure it, so you..."

"and many more!"

"You said just now that your wife has a strange disease and needs this spiritual herb to cure her?" Li Yu asked quickly.

"Yes, little brother, I didn't lie to you!" The man nodded.

Li Yu's face was a little weird, and he asked: "Does your wife often suffer from shortness of breath, sometimes her body twitches inexplicably when she sleeps at night, and her chest hurts three times a day?"

"You...how did you know!" The man said with a shocked expression.

Li Yu's lips twitched, and said: "I have seen your wife's illness before. It is a very strange illness. If you rely on spiritual herbs alone, it cannot be cured."

"Then...then what should I do?" The man turned pale and said excitedly, "The Taoist priest said it can be cured..."

"Daoist?"

Li Yu frowned slightly, and said: "How old is that Taoist priest and what he looks like, can you tell me?"

The man said: "The Taoist priest is over 60 years old, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, and looks like a fairy."

"It's him!" Li Yu's eyes froze, and he remembered who the other party was.

Speaking of which, the Taoist priest still had some grudges against him. When Li Yu first came down the mountain, he had a little friction with the other party, but Li Yu's cultivation level was still low at that time, so he tied with the other party.

But this time, he will definitely not let the other party escape...

Thinking of this, Li Yu sneered, and then told the man that he could cure the disease, hoping to take him to see it together.

The man nodded happily, then took Li Yu into the Mercedes-Benz, and brought Li Yu to a high-end villa.

Li Yu also knew the man's name in the car, Zhang Ping, a real estate developer in Tianshui City, and his assets can also be ranked in the top [-] in Tianshui City.

However, Zhang Ping kept a low profile, he only bought a relatively high-end million dollar villa, and the only other luxury car that was the most expensive was a Porsche.

Zhang Ping respectfully invited Li Yu into the room.

Li Yu saw an old man in Taoist robes sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

As if sensing someone coming in, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said, "I found something..."

But before the other party finished speaking, he saw Li Yu looking at him with a smile on his face.

"It's you!" The old man was shocked, and he stood up from the sofa, looking at Li Yu vigilantly.

"Old man, long time no see." Li Yu greeted with a smile.

"So the two know each other, that's just a coincidence." Zhang Ping said with a smile.

"Humph!"

The old man looked at Li Yu with an uncertain expression, and said, "Boy, long time no see, you and I have already owed each other, why did you come to me again!"

Li Yu sat down on the sofa, raised his legs, and said, "I don't owe you anything, but you still owe me something."

"Brother Zhang, I want to talk to this priest about something, you see?"

"Okay, I'll go in and see my wife." Knowing that the two of them had something to discuss, Zhang Ping immediately walked into the bedroom.

As soon as the other party walked in, Li Yu stood up, exuding a strong fighting spirit all over his body, staring at the old man coldly.

The old man looked at Li Yu with a serious face, but his heart was full of waves.

The two haven't seen each other for a few months at most. The strength of the two was barely equal last time, but now Li Yu feels a strong sense of crisis.

The old man's eyes flickered, and after balancing the strengths of both sides, he finally sighed: "I admit defeat..."

Li Yu most slightly evoked a smile, folded his arms in front of his chest, looked at the old man playfully, but did not speak.

"By the way, how do you know this kind of spiritual grass?" Li Yu pointed to the spiritual grass on the table and asked the other party suddenly.

The old Taoist looked at the spirit grass and said, "I also saw this kind of grass in an old book. Because it looks like ginseng, it is easy to remember."

Li Yu nodded and rubbed his mouth with his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then... if there's nothing else, I'll go first."

"Can't go!" Li Yu said.

"Why?" The old man's face changed slightly, and he said with a gloomy expression: "Don't think I'm afraid of you, I'm just too lazy to fight with you now, otherwise..."

"You think too much." Li Yu smiled and shook his head.

"I want to ask you something, what are you going to use this spirit grass for?" Li Yu asked.

The old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the spirit grass can kill the cold in the body, but I don't know the specifics. If I didn't owe the other party a favor, I wouldn't come here."

Speaking of this, the old Taoist glanced at Li Yu, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Yu glanced at the other party lightly, and said, "I won't give you the spiritual grass, but I have another way."

"What way?" The old man said in a deep voice.

"I will help you, but you have to do me a favor." Li Yu smiled.

"No!" The old Taoist vetoed Li Yu's words.

"Then treat it yourself, I'm leaving." Li Yu picked up the spirit grass and the space stone, then turned and walked out the door.

One step, two steps... Until Li Yu walked out the door, just as the door was about to be closed, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he finally lost his composure and called Li Yu back.

For him, it is important to quickly repay the other party's favor, otherwise it will make their cultivator's realm stuck, and he will stay in this realm and cannot advance to the next level.

"Okay! You win, as long as you cure his wife, I will do you a favor!" The old man sighed helplessly.

"It's a deal, but I regret it. You have to add one thing, so now it has become two things." Li Yu laughed.

"You!" The old man became angry.

"Don't say it, and I'm adding a condition." Li Yu grinned.

"Hmph!" The old Taoist flicked his sleeves with a livid face, and simply sat on the sofa and said nothing.

Li Yu pouted, looked at the old man slyly, then walked into the bedroom humming a little song.

Walking into the bedroom, seeing Zhang Ping talking to the sick woman on the bed, and seeing Li Yu coming in, Zhang Ping stood up quickly.

"You go out for a while, about 10 minutes." Li Yu said.

Zhang Ping glanced at Li Yu with complicated eyes, but still held a trusting attitude, kissed the sick woman on the forehead, and then closed the door and walked out.

After the other party walked out, Li Yu calmly looked at the pale sick woman on the bed, and said, "Your illness will be healed in just 10 minutes."

"Thank... thank you!" The sick woman showed a trace of excitement on her face, and coughed twice violently in her mouth.

"Go to bed first..." Li Yu said softly.

"What?" The sick woman was taken aback for a moment, but before she recovered, she suddenly felt a blackness in front of her eyes and lost consciousness.

Li Yu sat by the bed, conjured up a few silver needles out of thin air, and then pierced the opponent's chest. At the same time, Li Yu grabbed the opponent's arm and let a little of the true energy in his body go in.

After walking for about ten minutes, Li Yu let out a sigh of relief, then pulled out the silver needle with a wave, and gently covered the sick woman with a quilt.

Walking out of the door, Zhang Ping was pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing Li Yu coming out, Zhang Ping stepped forward excitedly, "She is already well, but now she needs to rest for a while. You'd better not disturb her." Yu said.

"Thank you... thank you!"

Zhang Ping grabbed Li Yu's arms excitedly, then took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Li Yu.

"A little heart doesn't make respect."

Li Yu glanced casually, and after seeing the string of zeros on it, he nodded and put the check in his pocket.

"This is my business card. If you need anything, I hope I can contribute a little bit." Zhang Ping smiled and took out a golden business card and handed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu accepted the business card, then rejected the other party's offer to invite him to dinner, and left with the old man.

"Where do you live now?" Li Yu asked.

"Inside the hotel."

"Well, you wait for me there for two days first, and I need to find you in two days."

Li Yu waved to the old man, then got into a taxi and left.

Seeing the direction in which Li Yu was leaving, the old Taoist hummed softly, flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

After Li Yu returned home, he quickly packed the spirit grass and the space stone together, and then found the remaining dozen or so herbs from under the bed. Li Yu carried the bag and walked out.

Taking a taxi to the outskirts of the city, Li Yu got out of the car and walked straight forward without stopping. After walking into an abandoned building, Li Yu decided to choose to refine it here.

Li Yu came to the top of the building and sat cross-legged in the middle, placing the medicinal materials and space stones on both sides.

"I should make alchemy first, and then after advancing to the fifth level of Qi training, I will start refining space stones." Li Yu whispered.

"boom!"

A fireball burst out of his hand, and the hot temperature came immediately, and he felt that the surrounding temperature rose a lot in an instant.

Li Yu controlled the fireball to fly into the air, and then began to refine the elixir. The medicinal materials were thrown into the flame one by one, and quickly turned into potions, slowly condensing together.

After all the medicinal materials were melted, Li Yu controlled the temperature of the fireball, and the true qi in his body circulated rapidly in his limbs.

"boom!"

With the instant destruction of the fireball, a thumb-sized black elixir slowly flew into Li Yu's hands. Feeling the temperature on the elixir, Li Yu showed a satisfied look in his eyes, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
