Chapter 1913 Eight Steps to Immortality Pill

"This little thing is called Sichuan pepper, which is a medicine for dispelling cold. This is Cornus officinalis, which can also be used as medicine. However, these two medicines are very good for removing fishy smells. It won't be a problem if we eat them in moderation!"

If Rong Li were asked to cook other cuisines, her research would not be very in-depth.

But the pig seller couldn't avoid eating scraps, and the remaining pork and pig offal were the staple food of the Rong family. After decades, they couldn't swallow it without finding a good way to cook it.

The pork cooked by Rong Li and the cooked food sold in the shops have their own merits in taste, but the pig offal cooked by her is undoubtedly of extremely high standard, and the aroma of some medicinal herbs is perfectly integrated into the ingredients.

Yishuo, who was eating pig offal for the first time, quickly accepted the taste and ate one more bowl of millet rice than usual.

"Don't worry, she's a healer, she knows all these things, she's not afraid of poisoning at all." Rong Tianding interrupted, "Mom, you don't have to be restrained, don't be polite, being polite to her is useless!"

There was a medical officer from the imperial court sitting at the table, so Rong Li couldn't help but explain a few words in a low voice.

By the time Rong Tianding added a few words, Yi Shuo's dignified and ladylike image was completely gone. After she stretched out her hand and pulled, she found three shiny silver needles on the back of Rong Tianding's hand.

"I'm going to die!"

Rong Tianding stood up with a whoosh.

"Uncle Rong is no longer a useless monk. Now he also understands the art. If you prick me with a needle again, I will fight back with my powerful art," Rong Tianding shouted.

"I'll wait for you to use it!"

Yi Shuo replied without even raising her head.

"If you cast the spell a little slower, I can stick eighteen needles into your body, paralyzing your arms. If you cast the spell even slower, I can even seal your mouth," Yi Shuo said.

"Just wait, I'll teach you a lesson tonight!"

"It doesn't work during the day, and you expect it to work at night. What a waste of money!"

Yi Shuo snorted twice and started cursing at Rong Tianding.

This made Rong Li open her mouth, but all her caution was quickly put away.

Rong Shi was whispering and asking whether Rong Tianding and Yi Shuo were enemies or lovers. Zhang Zhong and Jia Zhiyuan said nothing. They focused on eating to avoid getting into trouble.

"You guys take care of the patients, I also need to eat!"

Li Shaojun, who was watching from the next room, knocked on the bed, sighed deeply, and lay there sullenly.

The point is not whether everyone has food, but whether the compensation they want can be obtained.

Li Shaojun had previously asked for a sky-high price for compensation, and Zhang Xuezhou was extremely cautious in his offer at the moment. He did not even mention the quantity, and just let Cui Yan convey the message.

It is not difficult to guess what will happen next. If the Grand Empress Dowager is interested in Li Shaojun, she will definitely provide these medicinal materials to suppress his physical injuries, and everything that follows will need to be decided after seeing the Grand Empress Dowager.

If the Empress Dowager is not interested in Li Shaojun and adopts the cold treatment approach, Li Shaojun and Zhang Xuezhou can only endure it slowly.

As a young man, Li Shaojun felt that he could definitely endure longer than the Empress Dowager, especially since the other party was blind and had the evil spirit of a corpse that had not yet subsided, and her life was in danger.

This made Li Shaojun willing to endure the beating and lie down to recuperate.

It was very simple to suppress the injuries on his body. As long as the medicinal materials were in place, Zhang Xuezhou would use Taiqing Zhenshu to treat him and that would be the end of it.

The rapid treatment of Taiqing Zhenshu has side effects on the body, causing weakness and other conditions. It almost perfectly fits the situation where the body appears to be better after suppressing the injury but actually has many hidden dangers.

"Once Uncle Li has refined the Eight-Step Immortal Pill, he will be a superior person from now on!"

Li Shaojun was thinking gloomily about the ultimate external elixir that he needed to refine, with all kinds of little thoughts swirling in his mind.

He didn't ask for so many medicines for no reason. These medicines were expensive and in large quantities, but some of them were needed for his alchemy. Li Shaojun's level of refining external pills was not very high, but compared to his efforts to improve his cultivation to the self-centered realm, Li Shaojun felt that the success rate of refining pills was higher.

The Eight-Step Immortality Pill was what he had been pursuing for almost his entire life.

As for the ultimate realm of true self, it was not considered by Li Shaojun. After all, he knew himself well and understood that it was impossible to reach the limit of cultivation without talent, family background, power and great opportunity.

"Wait for me to slowly make it to the Divine Power Realm, and then I can use the Eight-Step Ascension Pill to make it to the Self-Existence Realm... Oh, why did I suddenly think of Gongsun Hong's damn good luck? He actually entered the Self-Existence Realm in just one trip. Why don't we have such good luck!"

What Li Shaojun was thinking in his heart eventually turned into countless resentments and envy and jealousy.

In order to seriously injure Li Shaojun, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding acted very cruelly. Li Shaojun couldn't walk at this time, and his whole body was in pain when he moved. He could only let his thoughts fly.

"What is this Eight-Step Immortal Pill you're talking about?"

It was not until Zhang Xuezhou stuffed a piece of pig intestine into his mouth that Li Shaojun came back to reality from his delusion.

"That is our Taoist's top-level secret external elixir!"

Li Shaojun muttered, not expecting that Zhang Xuezhou actually heard his mumbling carefully.

"What is it for? Can it really suppress the injuries?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"If I tell you this is a secret medicine for spiritual practice, would you believe it?" Li Shaojun asked with a roll of his eyes.

"Believe it, why shouldn't I? Anyway, you need me now, so you don't dare to lie to me. Once I find out that you are lying, we will break up. I will kill you over and over again, and then I will report to the police that you died of serious injuries!"

"Mr. Dong, don't be so heartless. I also have dignity. I am not the kind of person who would just die!" Li Shaojun shouted.

"Look, I trust you very much, and you trust me very much, and we both know that each other is capable of getting things done!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun didn't feel lonely when they were together. They could chat and talk just like Rong Tianding and Yishuo, and occasionally make some sarcastic remarks to cheer each other up.

"I actually still want to find Kong Anguo!"

"Why do you have to visit him when you don't even know where he lives?"

"The treasure refining technique you gave me is unreliable. I refined the wooden staff over and over but it still didn't turn into a weapon!"

"Can Kong Anguo make you a useful person?"

"He is a descendant of the Kong family and has seen a lot of things in the world. It's always a good idea to ask him!"

"He is a descendant of the Kong family, but I am still a descendant of the Li family... Take me with you when you visit him!"

"what?"

"I haven't refined that vine either. Sometimes I can use it to tie people up, and sometimes I can't. I want to see if there is any other way!"

Zhang Xuezhou went to Kong Anguo to learn more about spiritual roots.

He was excited by what Cai Ma said about the five elements spiritual roots and treasures. When Li Shaojun mentioned that the vine was no different from the green wood he used, Zhang Xuezhou suddenly felt that green wood seemed to have become a common commodity like the Qingyan staff.

This dampened his interest in chatting.

It was not until the eunuch outside Zhang's house announced that "Dongfang Shuo, the scholar waiting at the Golden Horse Gate, has accepted the reward" that Zhang Xuezhou's mind suddenly became active.

No matter whether he could get any good medicine in the future, Zhang Xuezhou got it now.

As long as the Empress Dowager gave the reward according to his needs, he would have the medicines for the first stage of practicing the art of longevity.
