I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 85 Community Warmth

With practiced ease, Li Yan took out his phone and ordered some traditional Chinese medicine from several different shops.

Li Yan, having finished his foster care, looked at the ginseng and lingzhi mushroom in front of him and fell into deep thought.

so.
He was scammed by counterfeit goods!
The shop where Li Yan bought the medicine was also one of the shops selected by the system, and it could be delivered in half a day with express delivery.

Therefore, he always buys medicine from this store, but this time, due to the need for alchemy, he ordered a larger quantity.

Good heavens, they've even managed to fake it on him!
Li Yan took out his phone and sent a message to a certain store.

"Your ginseng and lingzhi are fake, I can't use them, please return them."

The other party replied very quickly, in just a few seconds.

"Hello sir, that's impossible. We are a legitimate store, and our products have been professionally verified. We don't sell counterfeit goods."

"You wait."

Li Yan put down his phone, and his Heavenly Eye technique precisely located the other party's position.

I made another call. A middle-aged man answered.

"Aren't you annoying? I've said there are no counterfeit products! Do you have any proof? If you keep arguing like this, I'll sue you!"

Li Yan channeled spiritual energy in his hand, confirming the location once again.

"You're dead!"

After sending his blessings, he hung up the phone, glanced at the night sky, went to the rooftop, and threw it directly into the air.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, the flying shuttle rapidly expanded, becoming the size of a small boat.

Li Yan leaped into it and piloted the flying shuttle towards the target location.

"Hidden!"

With a flick of his wrist, streams of light scattered and enveloped him as Li Yan's figure vanished completely into the night.

In less than half an hour, he had traveled hundreds of miles and appeared in the suburbs of an unfamiliar city, where he found the location of the online store.

This place is in a remote location, like a semi-rural area.

Inside a building resembling a rural homestead, Li Yan spotted his target.

In the courtyard filled with ginseng and other medicinal herbs, seven or eight people were busy at work.

Some people use glue to glue together broken rhizomes and remnants, or piece together different ginseng bodies to forge complete wild ginseng.

Some people are using potassium permanganate soaking or sulfur fumigation to deepen the texture and fake the year.

A pungent, acidic smell wafted through the courtyard; it was these chemicals causing the problem.

Li Yan hovered in the air, looking at the target.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray vest, with a round, bald head.

At that moment, he was holding his phone, his face filled with disdain and anger.

"What an idiot, cursing at me? Bah! You deserve to eat fake products. You dare to curse me? Then answer the phone!"

Li Yan glanced at his vibrating phone and appeared behind it.

"You're the only one looking for me?"

The middle-aged man turned around, paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously:
"Hey you little brat, you dare come here? You're a nobody! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

This remote place is inhabited by his people, and there are no surveillance cameras, so he has nothing to fear.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Li Yan snorted coldly and pressed down with his divine sense. The people working around him immediately rolled their eyes and fainted to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan extended his spiritual power, transforming it into countless strands of hand that wrapped around the people around him.

Then, the middle-aged man with the bald head found himself unable to move.

The brothers who had fainted around him suddenly stood up one by one and approached him with their eyes closed.

"What are you doing! What are you trying to do?! Monster, monster!!"

The middle-aged man with the hard-boiled egg cried out in surprise, but could only let the people around him lift him up and throw him into the chemical solution that was soaking ginseng.

Li Yan despised such cunning and deceitful people the most. In his previous life, his grandmother died suddenly after using substandard medicine.

As an extraordinary being, he restrains himself based on his self-cultivation, but that doesn't mean he will restrain himself in every situation.

I'm sure this guy was prepared to pay the price when he fabricated the evidence.

The night was calm.

The following Sunday, it was sunny.

In the library, Li Yan was holding a popular science book about hypothetical universes and reading it.

Beside him, Mei Mengqian was still tackling math challenges, and Jiang Yingzhu was memorizing vocabulary.

"Ugh, these scribbles are so annoying. Li Yan, do you have any ideas on how to get rid of them?"

"Yes, there is." "What method?!" Jiang Yingzhu immediately perked up.

Wang Zhenyu and Gan Tiantian looked over from the opposite side, and even Hua Junshu turned his head slightly, somewhat curious about Li Yan's method.

"abandon"

"Pfft!" Mei Mengqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Hua Junshu and the others also smiled.

"Ah my foot! I'm not kidding you."

Jiang Yingzhu punched his shoulder and glared at him.

"Okay, actually you can use your brain. For example, squid is so expensive, so it's called 'squid'. Labor is tiring, so it's called 'labor'."

As Li Yan spoke, he casually scribbled a few words on a piece of paper.

"It seems so," Jiang Yingzhu said thoughtfully.

"Actually, it's similar to memorizing words using pinyin; you still need to look at them more often," Hua Junshu said.

Honest advice is hard to swallow, but Jiang Yingzhu clearly didn't listen and continued to let her mind wander.

After noon, Li Yan returned home alone and continued practicing his alchemy skills.

After these few days of dedicated management, his skill in refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill has reached an unparalleled level.

It will succeed nine out of ten times.

Therefore, he stopped using the system and instead tried to improve the pill formula by using the alchemy knowledge he gained from using the Peiyuan Pill.

Calling it an improvement wouldn't be accurate; what Li Yan needed was simplification and a slight emphasis on a particular aspect.

Peiyuan Dan is essentially used to strengthen the body's foundation and nourish its vital energy; it does not have the direct effect of curing diseases or saving lives.

But what Li Yan needs is its visible effects, such as improving eyesight, promoting development, and improving physical condition.

If he can just stumble upon one by sheer luck, he can make money without lifting a finger!

Because it was an improved formula, failure was inevitable.

Unlike the fragrance produced by successful alchemy, failed medicinal herbs emit a strong, foul odor, as if the meat were moldy and rotting.

The stench, just wafting out the window, was enough to make the birds outside fall to the ground.

To avoid being complained about, he closed the window.

It's just a bit of stench; compared to making money while lying down, it's nothing but a little hardship.

He took an egg, used his spiritual power to suppress the foul odor, and pressed it into the egg.

A stink bomb has been successfully made!

Li Yan continued refining pills, but each time he tried to suppress the foul odor, there would always be some residue. Fortunately, it wasn't very strong, so he stopped worrying about it.

While refining pills on his own, he discovered that the spiritual energy he consumed was significantly less than when the system was running the process.

Several hours later.

"Boom!"

The spiritual energy furnace was opened, and a faint fragrance of pills wafted out.

Li Yan looked at the gray, semi-transparent liquid on the tray, then at the foul-smelling dregs in the trash can.

It has been determined that these elixirs are finished products.

However, its medicinal effects remain unknown.

He got up, intending to buy a few white mice.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Suddenly, a loud knocking sounded on the door. Then, a dignified and authoritative voice came in.

"Is anyone there? We're the police!"

Li Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and upon probing with his divine sense, he discovered that it was indeed true.

Did his insistence on making the interview last night expose his true intentions?
"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, there was another loud knocking on the door.

"If no one's home, we'll break in!"

As the people outside were talking, Li Yan was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone else say:
"Hey, officer, stop knocking! It smells terrible, it's probably been there for days."

Hearing the neighbor's child's voice, Li Yan was taken aback. What was that?
What?! How many days has this been going on?!
However, he didn't think much of it and immediately spoke up to prevent the door from being ruined.

"Someone's here, don't move."

After saying that, he immediately went over and opened the door.

Suddenly, an even stronger stench wafted out, and the two policemen at the door instinctively covered their mouths and noses and took a half step back.

"What's the matter with you?"
