Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Yang Ling was asked to sit on the only chair, while the other two sat on cushions.

“Everyone, this place is simple and I’m the only one living here. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality.” The owner of the Spiritual Herb Garden said as he handed Yang Ling a teacup with a gentle smile on his face.

Yang Ling took the teacup and shook his head gently, "Miss, you are too kind. It is us who disturbed your peace and quiet."

"No, this place is secret and rarely visited. Your arrival has actually made it more lively." The host poured tea for Xu Fu and Xiang Yu, then sat down and turned his gaze to Yang Ling. "This friend you brought has come for the second time. From the looks of you, it seems that you are quite interested in my herbs. Do you need them, or do you have other uses for them?"

As soon as the master said this, Xu Fu felt a chill and lowered his head involuntarily. Yang Ling seemed calm and composed. The master's attitude towards him was obviously much gentler than towards others.

After learning that the Spiritual Herb Garden had an owner, Yang Ling had planned to leave, but the owner's appearance and invitation were beyond his expectations. He was not surprised by the owner's question, after all, they had trespassed into someone else's territory without permission.

"I'm using it myself." Yang Ling told him honestly. He really needed these herbs to restore the power of the Moon Jade and repair his meridians.

Hearing Yang Ling's answer, the master's eyes flashed with realization, and then he smiled and said, "In that case, just tell me the herbs you need."

Yang Ling and Xu Fu were both stunned by the host's generosity. Only Xiang Yu was so absorbed in the taste of the spiritual tea that he didn't pay attention to their conversation.

"What do you mean, young lady?" Xu Fu asked in disbelief.

"If you ask for medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you." The master looked at Xu Fu with a cold tone, and then turned to Yang Ling, "But if he asks, I can give him as much as he wants."

Yang Ling and Xu Fu were both embarrassed by their host's double standards, but Xiang Yu put down his cup curiously and asked, "Miss, are you willing to give me the medicine?"

Xiang Yu's sudden question made everyone feel helpless, but the master did not care.

"Young Master, do you recognize me?" The master turned his gaze towards Yang Ling and asked with a smile.

Yang Ling was startled when he heard this, and looked up at his master. This girl was extremely beautiful, and like her voice, she gave people a feeling of peaceful years. The first time he saw her, Yang Ling's mind immediately appeared the spirit of the Moon Jade Jue, a beauty that could rival that of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Despite this, Yang Ling just thought that the girl was pretty and had an outstanding temperament, but he didn't remember where he had seen her before.

Seeing Yang Ling's confused expression, a trace of disappointment flashed across the master's eyes, but then disappeared.

"Sir, we met in the deep mountains far away from Qin State ten years ago. At that time, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and you asked the crane to take me home and saved my life." The master looked at Yang Ling with a helpless look, and she sighed softly, "Your elixir is very effective, and I recovered quickly. You also asked the crane to take me down the mountain quickly, and I didn't even have time to say thank you."

The owner had always remembered that past event, but she knew that it was not easy to meet a hermit like Yang Ling. When she met him today, she didn't even dare to recognize him, until they were about to leave, she mustered up the courage to stop them.

"It's you!" Yang Ling had a vague impression of the girl after hearing what his master said. He looked at the girl again and couldn't help but said, "You've grown a lot taller."

When I saw her ten years ago, she was still a young girl. Now she has grown into a graceful beauty, almost as tall as Yang Ling.

"Do you remember? You still remember me?" Yang Ling's words made the master so excited that his voice trembled.

"I remember that you were afraid that the pill was poisonous and refused to open your mouth. It was the crane that knocked you unconscious before feeding you the pill." Yang Ling nodded with a smile.

That incident was one of the funniest things he encountered in the mountains. Because the crane had just gained intelligence and was eager to save the person, it couldn't help but knock the person unconscious and feed him medicine.

When the incident was mentioned again many years later, the host seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and whispered, "You don't even know my name yet."

"It was my negligence." Upon hearing this, Yang Ling immediately asked, "Miss, would you like to tell me your name?"

As soon as the words fell, the girl could not wait to reply: "Sir, just call me Rong'er."

"Rong'er, if grass is tolerant, all things will come to life. What a good name!" Yang Ling nodded and said, "You have quite a lot of spiritual energy. You should have already embarked on the path of cultivation, right?"

"Young master has a keen eye for talent, just as you can see." Rong'er was naturally gifted. After being rescued by Yang Ling ten years ago, she listened to his Taoist teachings for several days at his residence. After coming down the mountain, she understood the way of cultivation.

She has an extremely high talent in alchemy and can make pure pills without anyone teaching her.

Coupled with her natural affinity for herbs, she focused on the practice of this path and has now achieved some success, using herbs to enter the path and practicing to the sixth level of the human realm.

Yang Ling knew Rong'er was gifted, but he never gave her any special guidance. Rong'er was able to get ahead of Xu Fu with her luck and talent, which shows how talented she is.

"What herbs do you need? Let Rong'er help you pick them?" Rong'er asked with concern.

She has always been grateful to Yang Ling for saving her life, and now that they are reunited, her excitement is beyond words.

She just wanted to give Yang Ling everything she could give, fearing that she wouldn't give enough and wouldn't be able to help him.

"I have seen your spiritual herb garden. We only need to take three spiritual herbs." Yang Ling stood up and responded.

He knew that it was not easy to gather so many spiritual herbs, and that the spiritual herbs in Rong'er's spiritual herb garden were all extremely rare.

If he took too much, he might not even have the chance to see her again. He knew very well that human greed was the root of all evil.

"Sir, my spiritual herb garden was originally cultivated for you, so you don't have to be polite..." Yang Ling's words made Rong'er a little anxious.

She looked up at Yang Ling and explained, "I know you need herbs to make pills, but herbs that can help you are hard to find. I'm very happy to help you in this regard, and please don't hesitate to help!"

Rong'er didn't know the specific purpose of Yang Ling's spiritual herbs, and she didn't need to know.

Because no matter how Yang Ling uses these works of his heart and soul, it is his freedom.

She collected and cultivated these spiritual herbs in order to meet Yang Ling again one day and present them to him to repay him for saving her life.

Of course, Rong'er didn't think that a spiritual herb garden was enough to repay Yang Ling for saving her life.

What's more, the grace between them is not only of saving lives, but also of enlightenment and teaching.

When Yang Ling was preaching to the cranes and spirit beasts in the mountains and refining elixirs in his residence, Rong'er could see and hear it and learned a lot.

However, even if Yang Ling heard these words, he probably wouldn't care.

"Miss Rong'er, you are too polite. I just removed the poison from you and didn't do anything else. These spiritual herbs are hard to come by and even harder to cultivate!"

Yang Ling glanced at the spiritual herb garden not far away and said calmly: "Miss Rong'er, you should keep it for yourself. I..."

Yang Ling wanted to say that he wanted these spiritual herbs in order to plant them in the Moon Jade Jue so that they could generate spiritual energy and thus speed up the recovery of the Jade Jue's power.

Even though these rare spiritual herbs might be able to survive in the end, the Moon Jade Pearl was not from this world after all, and Yang Ling could not predict the impact it would have on the native spiritual herbs.

Rong'er understood what Yang Ling had not said, and knew that once he opened his mouth, it would mean he would refuse. Therefore, she did not give Yang Ling a chance to express himself completely. "Sir, Rong'er has made it clear that this spiritual herb garden is a gift to you. If you do not accept it, Rong'er will destroy it!"

After she finished speaking, astonishing spiritual power surged around Rong'er's body. She looked terrifying and walked firmly towards the spiritual herb garden. A very destructive spiritual power gradually gathered and was about to endanger the spiritual plants in the garden.

Xiang Yu and Xu Fu could not help but cast their eyes on Yang Ling. They knew nothing about the relationship between the owner of the Lingcao Garden and Yang Ling, and they had never expected that the owner would be willing to give the entire Lingcao Garden to Yang Ling.

However, these are not surprising. What surprised Xiang Yu and Xu Fu the most was that Yang Ling wanted to refuse a spiritual herb garden full of rare spiritual plants.

"Wait a minute!"

Yang Ling finally couldn't hold back, and when Rong'er's spiritual power was about to fall, he stopped her, "I want it!"

After all, these were rare spiritual herbs, and Yang Ling needed them urgently, whether for the recovery of the Moon Jade or for the repair of his own meridians.

Rong'er felt Yang Ling's hand holding her wrist. The temperature and strength were no different from ten years ago. A casual touch gave her a feeling that was both gentle and powerful.

Seeing Rong'er's cheeks flushed, Yang Ling realized that his hand had not yet been released. He quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and said apologetically: "Miss Rong'er, I am rude!"

"No problem, please feel free to do as you please, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Rong'er quickly shook her head in response, fearing that any hesitation on her part would make Yang Ling feel guilty.

Xiang Yu and Xu Fu, who had just approached, looked at each other with puzzlement in their eyes. Xu Fu felt Rong'er's double standards particularly deeply. After all, he was the only one who had come twice. Although he did not see Rong'er the first time, the cold reception he received did not decrease because of this.

Xiang Yu had come here for the first time, and his feelings were equally clear. The owner of the Spiritual Herb Garden almost disdained them, but in front of Yang Ling, she was as shy as a young girl who had just fallen in love, and like an oiran with both means and wisdom, she used her beauty and tenderness to attract the attention of her beloved.

It is hard to believe that such two contradictory sides are combined in one person, and the double standards they encounter make the two of them feel deeply moved.

Yang Ling is indeed a rare existence in the world, so it is reasonable that he can attract women with strong abilities, good looks and figures.

Yang Ling originally only planned to take away the three spiritual plants with the most spiritual energy and transplant them to the inner space of the Moon Jade. However, now Rong'er had filled a whole spiritual herb garden with them, so he didn't need to pick them himself.

Yang Ling summoned the Moon Jade, which was suspended above the Spiritual Herb Garden. He made hand gestures to activate the power in the jade, which quickly spread out and enveloped the entire Spiritual Herb Garden.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual herb garden and the three feet of soil beneath it were dug out and disappeared along with the spiritual herb garden.

"male……"

Rong Er saw this scene for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Yang Ling and asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

Xiang Yu was also seeing this for the first time. His eyes were filled with curiosity and shock similar to Rong'er's, and he looked at Yang Ling.

Xu Fu could not hide his pride at this moment, he stood with his chest puffed out and smiled.

"The Spiritual Herb Garden has been stored in my personal space!"

Yang Ling used his magic skills to fill the empty space under the spiritual herb garden, looked at Rong'er and asked, "Are you staying here to cultivate spiritual herbs for me?"

The place where Rong'er lives has nothing except the original spiritual herb garden. Even ferocious beasts are rare, let alone people. This place can be said to be extremely remote.

However, although it is remote, the spiritual energy is no less rich than that of Xianyang City, and it can be regarded as a nice paradise.

Such a place, if undisturbed, would be an excellent place to spend one's old age or to practice in seclusion.

"My Lord, you are absolutely right. Rong'er stayed here only to cultivate spiritual herbs for you. Now that you have accepted them, it is time for Rong'er to leave!"

Rong'er lowered her head, and Yang Ling couldn't see her expression, but he could clearly hear the sobs in her words.

"Have you decided where to go?"

Yang Ling noticed Rong'er's emotions, but did not say much. Instead, he asked more practical questions.

Rong'er had just made it up, but Yang Ling's sudden questioning left her at a loss for words.

Seeing Rong'er standing there in a daze, Yang Ling realized that what this girl had just said was just made up.

In fact, Yang Ling was certain from the beginning that Rong'er's words were not true. After all, she didn't even know when she would see him again, so how could she be ready to hand over the Spiritual Herb Garden to him?

However, Yang Ling's certainty was useless. If he wanted to truly help Rong'er, he had to let her reveal her flaws so that others would have a chance to lend her a helping hand.

"I need someone to take care of me. Miss Rong'er, are you willing?"

Yang Ling found the perfect opportunity and made Rong'er an invitation she couldn't refuse.

Hearing Yang Ling's question, Rong'er became even more at a loss. She had never dared to imagine the scene of being able to go to Yang Ling and take care of him.

"It's just that this may be a little unfair to you. If Miss Rong'er doesn't want to do this, I can understand. Everything depends on Miss Rong'er's own wishes..."

Yang Ling sincerely felt that it was unfair to Rong'er to let her stay by his side as a maid, so after he said this, he wanted to give Rong'er a chance to refuse.

However, Rong'er didn't think so, and she didn't need a chance to refuse, so she didn't let Yang Ling finish his words, and nodded and said, "This is what I've always dreamed of. I hope you don't dislike Rong'er!"

"Rong'er is much more successful than those two in my family, so she won't despise you!"

Hearing Rong'er's agreement, Yang Ling smiled slightly and spoke.

Although there was a hint of disdain in his words, they sounded particularly sweet and satisfying to the three of them.

For the first time, Yang Ling acknowledged Xu Fu as one of his own in front of outsiders, which gave him an unprecedented sense of belonging.

Xiang Yu was even more flattered. He didn't expect that just by following him and not helping in any way, he could get along with someone like Yang Ling.

Rong'er was undoubtedly the happiest among the group. After all, she was the one Yang Ling had personally found, and would definitely be the closest to Yang Ling in the future.

"Boom...Crack..."

As soon as the few people finished speaking, a deafening thunder was heard from the direction of Xianyang City. The bloody rain fell again, causing the entire Xianyang City to fall into panic. The same scene as last time was repeated in Xianyang City. However, this time, most people were prepared and did not walk slowly on the street like last time. (End of this chapter)
