Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 324 - : Better to let go of the sand that can’t be grasped.

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Better to let go of the sand that can’t be grasped.

“Is this… a Medicine Cauldron?” Jiang Lichun asked with some uncertainty.

“What else did you think it was? A bathtub?” Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, snorted lightly, and thought to himself, just wait until I refine the Pill Medicine, then you’ll be begging me for it.

With a Spirit Condensation breath, Li Xiaoyao took out the ingredients for refining the Spirit Qi Pill and arranged them neatly to one side.

Jiang Lichun kept silent, quietly watching Li Xiaoyao.

It sure looked the part, but he had no idea when this kid had also bought a Medicine Cauldron.

However, having a Medicine Cauldron and ingredients was useless without the most important thing for an alchemist, which was the flame. Without the flame, everything would be in vain.

He clearly remembered that the first time Li Xiaoyao practiced alchemy, he had used a pressure cooker and a gas stove…

Li Xiaoyao’s gaze was calm as he extended his right hand, palm open, and a clump of golden flame slowly rose up.

Jiang Lichun’s pupils slightly contracted— the kid actually had his own primordial flame source!

Shit, is he trying to defy the heavens?

The Spirit Qi Pill was just a First Grade Pill Medicine, the most basic kind.

Its main purpose was to be used for recovering Spiritual Energy during battles when one’s Spiritual Energy was insufficient.

The refinement process for the Spirit Qi Pill was very simple and allowed for multiple ones to be refined at once.

Li Xiaoyao planned to use the Spirit Qi Pill to lay a solid foundation.

The Jin Yuan fire touched the Medicine Cauldron and entered. A hint of searing heat suddenly rose within the cold cauldron as herbs began flying into it in a smooth, uninterrupted flow.

His eyes fixed on the herbs engulfed in flames, Li Xiaoyao, with his exceptional spiritual sense, perceived even the slightest changes.

A quarter of an hour later, all the ingredients were completely refined.

Next was to merge all the refined ingredients together.

In Jiang Lichun’s eyes, all of this looked so difficult, but under Li Xiaoyao’s control, it seemed as simple as slicing vegetables.

Not until a bunch of fragrant Spirit Qi Pills flew out of the Medicine Cauldron did Jiang Lichun truly believe that the kid indeed knew the art of alchemy.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead and with a smile appearing on his face, Li Xiaoyao looked at the dozen Pills in his hand and said, “Not bad, a success on the first try.”

Jiang Lichun asked, “Who taught you alchemy?”

“None of your damn business.” With a retort, Li Xiaoyao put away the Pills and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

Jiang Lichun felt a bit annoyed; what was he doing taking the kid so seriously?

The aroma was overflowing; the meat of the two-tailed tiger cat was particularly tender.

Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Lichun each had a large bowl, ate to their satisfaction, and there was still half a pot left.

“Why did you stew so much?” It would be too wasteful not to finish the meat soup.

“I’ll eat it later,” Li Xiaoyao said. “Didn’t you say earlier you had something important to discuss with me?”

When it came to serious matters, Jiang Lichun immediately became solemn, “Do you remember the roar of the Demon Beast from yesterday?”

“Yeah, what about it?” Li Xiaoyao’s heart stirred; could someone have discovered that Demon Beast beneath the antique shop?

Jiang Lichun said, “I got news today that many Sects and families are secretly rushing to Ling City.”

“Could it be because of that Demon Beast?”

“Probably,” Jiang Lichun said. “But it’s not just for the Demon Beast, it’s also for that ancient tomb.”

Raising his eyebrows lightly, Li Xiaoyao asked, “Has the news of the ancient tomb spread?”

“Too many people know about the tomb, and since they can’t enter, naturally they would seek help,” Jiang Lichun shook his head slightly and said, “However, this might not be a bad thing. The more people who know about the tomb, the more advantageous it is for us.”

“Fishing in troubled waters?”

“Don’t make it sound so unpleasant; it’s called reaping the fisherman’s gains.” He chuckled, the old Jiang Lichun said, “There are quite a few powerful individuals coming this time. They should have more than enough to deal with Zhu Jiuyin, and we just need to hide in the shadows. Once they deal with Zhu Jiuyin and break the Formation, we can follow them inside.”

“That might actually work,” Li Xiaoyao had originally planned to use the Divine Invocation Technique to deal with Zhu Jiuyin, but now, it seemed unnecessary.

Showing off his strength too much wasn’t necessarily a good thing for Li Xiaoyao.

Jiang Lichun stood up from the couch and said, “I’m going out to take care of some things. If everything goes well, we’ll head to the ancient tomb tomorrow.”

After Jiang Lichun left, Nie Xiaoqian emerged from the ancient jade and absorbed the remaining half pot of meat soup.

Li Xiaoyao packed away the Medicine Cauldron and said apologetically, “Miss Xiaoqian, I’m afraid it will be some time before I can take you home.”

Nie Xiaoqian responded understandingly, “My lord has important matters first; Xiaoqian is not in a hurry.”

“Rest assured, I, Li Xiaoyao, will keep the promise I made to you,” he said solemnly to her, “I need to step out for a moment.”

Li Xiaoyao drove to the residential area where Zhang Meng lived. After hearing what Li Xiaoyao had to say, Zhang Meng arranged a high-end tour for her father and sent him off to enjoy it.

“Ding-dong!”

The doorbell rang. Zhang Meng hurried to open the door and saw Li Xiaoyao standing at the entrance. She threw her arms open and lunged at him.

After pinching her buttocks a few times, Li Xiaoyao carried her straight to the couch and took out a marrow-cleansing, bone-tempering pill from his Storage Ring, saying, “Eat this.”

Zhang Meng didn’t even ask; she just swallowed it down.

What followed was a routine Li Xiaoyao was all too familiar with. After removing her impurities, the two of them went straight into the bathroom and began their intense encounter.

Having not seen each other for a while, Zhang Meng’s enthusiasm was sky-high, even leaving Li Xiaoyao somewhat overwhelmed.

Eventually satisfying her, Li Xiaoyao carried her to bed and they began dual cultivation.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t have much time left, and before leaving, he left a marrow-cleansing, bone-tempering pill for Zhang Meng, which was intended for her father.

Now that he had the ability, Li Xiaoyao did what he could to take care of the people around him.

After leaving home, Li Xiaoyao took the initiative to call Zhu Xiaoyue.

When Zhu Xiaoyue picked up the phone, her voice was laced with a complaining tone, “Where have you been? Why haven’t you contacted me for so long? Don’t you want to be in a relationship with me anymore? Just say it, and I won’t pester you.”

Li Xiaoyao broke out in a cold sweat. What was she talking about?

“Where are you? I’ll come find you.”

Zhu Xiaoyue was still at work. Li Xiaoyao drove to the police station and picked her up.

Zhu Xiaoyue, still in her uniform, got into the car and remained silent.

“I’ve been a bit busy lately, I got in touch with you as soon as I got back,” Li Xiaoyao explained while driving.

“You’re lying. You clearly have the scent of another woman’s perfume on you.”

Uh…

This was quite embarrassing.

“Cough cough, what would you like to eat?” Li Xiaoyao changed the subject.

“Stop the car; I’ll go home by myself.”

“Xiaoyue,” Li Xiaoyao sighed, “There are some things that I hope you won’t get involved in, which is why I haven’t told you.”

Zhu Xiaoyue laughed mockingly. “Right, you never regarded me as your girlfriend. You never want to share anything with me. Since it’s like this, what’s the point of me clinging to you?”

With a wry smile, Li Xiaoyao said, “It’s not what you think.”

“Then what is it? Tell me,” Zhu Xiaoyue’s eyes turned red. Li Xiaoyao was the first man she truly cared for, but he was like the wind, elusive and hard to grasp.

She felt the distance between her and Li Xiaoyao was growing wider, as if she was about to lose him.

Sand that can’t be held is better off tossed away.

When it came to love, Zhu Xiaoyue hoped to be rational, and that’s what she was trying to do.
