Chapter 660 Taking Medicine
"I know. I will be careful." Li Chuan responded cautiously.

Luo Xueli nodded, turned to Zhu Qingyun and said, "I'm going to Lingxu Peak again. I found a bunch of mist vines there before. Now that I have some free time, I'll go get some."

"Okay." Zhu Qingyun said.

"Then I'll wait for you in Qifeng Gorge." Luo Xueli stood up and said to Li Chuan, "If you have free time, go to the capital and stay there for a while, and help us share some of the work."

"I will." said Li Chuan.

"Then I'll go first." After saying that, Luo Xueli walked out.

The room suddenly became quiet.

"Suddenly I remembered that I haven't seen Senior Brother Jin for a long time." Li Chuan said.

"He worries about food and grass every day." Zhu Qingyun talked about Jin Rong's recent situation. "He and Mr. Zhang, that is, Zhang Xintong, your fellow villager, have a good relationship recently. Through Mr. Zhang's way, he has settled a lot of things. Once everything goes smoothly in the future, everything will be fine."

"When will we attack Pujintun?" Li Chuan asked.

"Chang Xiao has already led his troops there. Wait a minute, I'll go directly there." Zhu Qingyun replied.

"Be careful." Li Chuan said.

"Yeah." Zhu Qingyun said.

It was quiet again.

After a while, Li Chuan heard Zhu Qingyun ask him in his ear: "You just said that everyone has some secrets, do you have any?"

"Yes." Li Chuan said calmly.

He waited for Zhu Qingyun to continue asking questions, but Zhu Qingyun suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What you and Chi Lin said in the Blood Pond Cave before, is it true?"

"What did I say?" Li Chuan asked.

"That's right, to be a high-ranking official and have a lot of money..." Zhu Qingyun didn't continue.

"I'll just think about it." Li Chuan said.

He heard Zhu Qingyun laughing. He turned his head and met Zhu Qingyun's sparkling eyes. He said, "You all think so. I haven't even said I want to be the emperor yet."

"Do you want to?" Zhu Qingyun asked.

"Forget it, let's think about how to become an immortal." Li Chuan said.

"This is not easier than being an emperor," said Zhu Qingyun.

"I want to live a few more years, and live longer with you," said Li Chuan.

When Zhu Qingyun was about to say something, a noise came from outside the door. It was Lao Xiaokaigong coming back.

"I'll boil the medicine right away, brother, stop pecking me. You've pecked holes in my clothes. I only have two sets of clothes. If you peck again, I'll have nothing to wear..." Lao Xiaokai walked in holding a bundle of herbs. Seeing that only Li Chuan and Zhu Qingyun were in the room, he looked around and asked, "Where's Lord Luo?"

"He went out." Li Chuan said.

Lao Xiaokai was visibly relieved. He said, "I'll boil some medicine for you right away. After you drink it, you'll be able to get out of bed."

Zhu Qingyun looked at Li Chuan and asked, "Is it that serious?"

"It's OK, it's really OK," Li Chuan said, "You should go and meet up with Senior Brother Luo soon. When you guys take Pujintun, I think my work will be almost done by then. See you in the capital then."

"Okay, then you should take good care of yourself," said Zhu Qingyun.

"I know." Li Chuan urged her, "Let's go."

"Take care." Zhu Qingyun stood up.

"Yeah, you too." Li Chuan said. After Zhu Qingyun left, Li Chuan looked in the direction where she disappeared for a long time.

Lao Xiaokai and Gong Erpangsan were sorting the herbs while arguing with each other. Soon the medicine was boiled and the aroma filled the room.

Li Chuan suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

It’s time to take medicine again. He closed his eyes and lay down.

"Brother Li, take the medicine before going to sleep." Lao Xiaokai shouted when he saw Li Chuan's actions.

"The medicine is ready, wake me up." Li Chuan said.

"No, you'd better get out of bed and move around before taking the medicine, otherwise the medicine won't be able to take effect." Lao Xiaokai said.

"Drink first before moving." Li Chuan said.

"Brother Gong, go over there and pull up your eldest brother." Lao Xiaokai instructed Gong Er.

Since it concerned Li Chuan's health, Gong Er took it very seriously. He flew over, grabbed Li Chuan's sleeve, and dragged him out.

Li Chuan was pulled up at once, and he said, "Wait, wait a minute, I'll get up, I'll get up right away, don't bite me anymore..." He tried to move, and Gong Er loosened his mouth, but still stared at him hungrily.

Pang San also climbed to the bedside and said, "Brother, let's go out for a walk. If you get tired, I'll carry you back."

"It's not this." Li Chuan moved his legs and stepped lightly on the ground. He felt as if his legs were being pricked by millions of needles, numb and painful. He hissed, but still stepped on it, then slowly stood up and took two steps.

"Are you feeling better?" Lao Xiaokai asked him while fanning the fire.

"Didn't you go collecting herbs? Did you finish so quickly?" Li Chuan asked.

"I went to get it from the Feather Tribe's warehouse," Lao Xiaokai glanced at him and said, "I was planning to stay outside for a while, but Brother Gong kept urging me along the way, so I had no choice but to come back."

"I have said everything that needs to be said. What do you plan to do next? Will you go to Luoxia Secret Realm with me?" Li Chuan asked.

"That's fine. If you want me to go, I'll go." Lao Xiaokai asked, "When are we leaving?"

"How long have I slept?" Li Chuan asked.

"One day and one night, it will be time for lunch in a while." Lao Xiaokai replied.

"Where are Master Wen and the others?" Li Chuan asked.

"With the people from Xuanyue Sect, tut tut," Lao Xiaokai said with a click of the tongue, "The people from Xuanyue Sect are really unreliable. Brother Li, let me say that the incident in Cangwu Wilderness has nothing to do with Gong Wuguang and the others. It has to do with Xuanmen. If Chi Lin really gets into trouble, the first person he will attack is Xuanmen. What happened? Gong Wuguang has only four disciples, and two of them came at once. Xuanmen... I won't talk about Sishen Palace and Tianyu Sect. Taoist Master Wen and Taoist Master Jiang are at least core disciples, and there is also Elder Li. What about Xuanyue Sect? There are thousands of disciples, and not one of them has time to come? I don't believe that they all went to Luoxia Secret Realm."

"Okay, stop talking." Li Chuan said.

"Close the door and tell me what happened?" Lao said with a smile.

"Your door is not closed." Li Chuan said.

Lao Xiaokai looked back and saw that the door was indeed not closed.

"Don't close it, let the medicine smell go away." Seeing Lao Xiaokai trying to close the door, Li Chuan quickly stopped him.

"I just don't believe you aren't angry." Lao said with a smile.

"It's no use getting angry," Li Chuan said weakly, "If I get angry and ruin my health, it won't be worth it. Look at my body, can it withstand the anger?"

He paused and said, "But... after a good night's sleep, I have some more ideas in my mind. I may know what he wants to do."

"Who?" Lao asked with a smile.

"Chi Lin," Li Chuan sat down, "I'll talk to you after Master Wen and the others arrive, so we can save some energy." He looked at the pottery pot where the medicine was boiled and said, "How about eating something first to get your internal organs moving, and then take the medicine?"
