The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Chapter 44 I dare not touch a single one!

"This swing is nice, but it still feels like something's missing."

Wen Qingxuan looked at the swing that was about ten feet tall in front of her, thought for a moment, and then took out some seeds and scattered them on both sides of the swing.

Then he took out a small green bottle and poured out a green liquid.

In just half a day, the seeds that had just been sown sprouted from the soil and formed clusters of colorful flowers.

Some of the flowers even climbed up the wooden stick and wrapped around the entire swing.

"Growing so fast, Qingxuan, could this jade bottle you're holding be the little green bottle that makes plants grow quickly?"

Lin Suzhou stared in shock at the small green bottle in her hand and asked a question.

"What little green bottle?"

Wen Qingxuan looked at him with a puzzled expression, then explained, "The important thing is not the bottle, but the spiritual liquid inside. I figured out this kind of spiritual liquid in my spare time."

"Qingxuan truly lives up to her reputation as a genius alchemist; she managed to devise such a divine object in her spare time."

Lin Suzhou praised Wen Qingxuan, then sat on the swing with the two women in his arms.

A colorful tiger skin was laid on top, making it comfortable and warm.

The three of them quietly enjoyed the lake view.

On the ground, a gentle breeze blew across the lake, and every now and then a few spirit fish would leap out of the water to catch spirit insects;

In mid-air, some freshmen shuttled back and forth, some in groups of three or five, and some playing the role of a lone wolf;

In the sky, the warm sun shines brightly, and every now and then a few clouds of different shapes drift by, some like birds about to take flight, and some like lively little dogs.

"Luo Li, Qing Xuan, I will work harder in my cultivation from now on."

Standing atop this vast world, I'll find a place facing water, build a beautiful house, feed the horses, chop wood, and live a peaceful and happy life.

Lin Suzhou held the two girls in his arms, gazing at the beautiful scenery before him, and dreaming about their future life together.

"By the way, where's your little white horse?"

Luo Li suddenly remembered the little mare on the Spirit Road and asked Lin Suzhou about it.

"It wanted a spacious place to roam freely, so I placed it on the eighth level of the Thunder Domain."

While you're at your leisure, also help me refine the Heavenly Thunder Pearl; I'm really short on points right now.

Lin Suzhou suddenly turned to look at Wen Qingxuan and asked, "Qingxuan, can you teach me alchemy tomorrow?"

I noticed that the Spirit Value Hall doesn't sell many pills. Why don't we sell pills tomorrow to earn spirit points?

"Hmm, that works too. I see there are many rare and precious materials in the Spirit Value Hall, so I can earn Spirit Value to buy materials."

Wen Qingxuan nodded slightly, thinking it was a good idea, but looked at him suspiciously: "Alchemy is a delicate craft, are you sure you want to learn from me?"

"Of course, Teacher Wen. I possess the Nine Nether Flame and a divine-level alchemy cauldron, so I should be able to learn it."

Lin Suzhou appeared very confident.

"You also have a divine-level spiritual artifact, the alchemy cauldron?"

Wen Qingxuan suddenly sat up straight, looking at him in disbelief.

Because she had only recently begun learning alchemy, her mother-in-law had just given her a top-grade spiritual artifact alchemy cauldron to practice with.

"Yes, this is it."

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Suzhou conjured a golden-red cauldron that floated in front of the three of them. It quickly grew larger in the wind, reaching a size of three zhang (approximately 13 meters).

Two golden phoenixes are engraved on the front and back of the cauldron.

One is a phoenix, the other a female phoenix; they seem to be chasing each other, or perhaps playing.

"Are you really the landlord's foolish son? How come you have so many divine-level magical artifacts?"

Wen Qingxuan was a little unsettled at this moment. Although her mother-in-law was a Heavenly Supreme, the only spiritual weapon she received was the golden spear, which was a divine-level spiritual weapon. The rest of her items were all below the divine level.

"I forgot to tell you both last night. Although I have no parents in this world, I am fortunate to have a mysterious master. He gave me all these things."

To avoid giving himself away, Lin Suzhou told a small lie.

"Since you're so wealthy, I'll give you this alchemy cauldron as payment for your alchemy."

After Wen Qingxuan finished speaking, she even took his arm, her narrow phoenix eyes flashing with electricity.

"Who just called me the landlord's stupid son?"

"It's my fault, my good husband, my handsome husband, I'll give you to Qingxuan."

Under Wen Qingxuan's coquettish charm, she finally got what she wanted.

"Now that I've given you my only elixir cauldron, you'd better serve your husband well tonight."

Seeing Wen Qingxuan beaming with joy, Lin Suzhou revealed his purpose.

"But I'm about to advance to the fifth level of alchemist, so I need to intensify my practice during this time."

Wen Qingxuan regained her composure and said seriously.

"A level five alchemist? That's comparable to the Transformation Realm?"

Lin Suzhou exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that Wen Qingxuan's talent is truly remarkable."

"Yes, my cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm. I still need to refine a pill to advance to the Transformation Realm."

Wen Qingxuan sighed and said, "Even after the Spiritual Path Initiation, my cultivation only reached the Divine Soul Realm."

"Luo Li's current cultivation level is also at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm. Why don't you refine two pills for her?"

"A good cauldron is needed to refine elixirs, which is why I'm begging you to give me this one."

Wen Qingxuan gave him a resentful look: "So, in your eyes, I am the kind of selfish person? Of course, I would think of everyone if there were good things."

"I was wrong. I'll learn alchemy from you tomorrow. There's still some time before the freshman orientation."

"No problem, just use my alchemy cauldron. It's a top-grade spiritual artifact after all."

Wen Qingxuan patted her full chest and agreed.

"To sell pills, you'll have to target the senior students; they have more spiritual energy, but you'll need to expand your network."

Luo Li then spoke up and offered her suggestions.

"Hehe, I just ran into an old man yesterday. He does some business in the Spirit Academy, selling information and stuff like that. I'll tell him about it later."

Lin Suzhou smiled at Luo Li, and then the three of them continued to enjoy the scenery.

Meanwhile, at this time, it was the eighth level of the Thunder Domain.

The little mare lay trembling on the ground, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at the enormous Kun that blotted out the sky.

"Young man, who gave you permission to refine pills on the eighth level of the Thunder Domain? Who is your master?"

The giant Kun transformed into a bald old man and came before the little mare.

"Senior, I—my master is a student at the Spirit Academy. He sent me here to refine pills. I dare not touch a single one of these pills."

"Please—please don't eat me!"

Looking at the imposing old man before him, Luo Lingtianma quickly revealed all the details.

"Heh, so you admit you're refining pills?"

The bald old man heard the mare's telepathic message to him and said jokingly.

The foal's voice was too soft, so the bald old man teased it for a while before laughing, "Hehe, you're only at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, he must have brought you up here, right?"

"Yes, yes."

The little mare kept nodding her head, and even told him that Lin Suzhou had been to the tenth level of the Thunder Domain, begging him to spare her life.

"Senior, I haven't eaten well since I was a child, and I don't have much meat. Why don't you eat my master instead? He has more meat and better talent."

If you eat my master, senior, your cultivation level might increase significantly.

The mare even sold Lin Suzhou to save her own life.

Master, don't blame me, only if I survive can I be your ride —

"You even went up to the tenth floor?"

The bald old man ignored her suggestion, his eyes gleaming even brighter, and continued to ask, "Then he didn't break through to the Supreme Realm, did he?"

"No, he's currently at the Heavenly Realm."

"That would be even better."

The bald old man's smile widened; the thing he had been waiting for so long had finally come to fruition.

"You'll continue refining pills here. You're not allowed to go anywhere until your master comes here, or else—you know the consequences."

After saying this, the bald old man deliberately showed his white teeth to the mare.

"Don't worry, senior. From today onwards, Thunder Domain is my home. I won't go anywhere else!"

The mare's gaze was resolute.

"What you say doesn't count. You just said you hadn't practiced many. A few thousand isn't a lot, is it?"

After the bald old man finished speaking with a smile, a stream of black cold air gushed out from his body, transforming into a prison a hundred feet in size.

"From today onwards, you will only be able to refine pills here, do you hear me? As a reward, you will be allowed to cultivate this Body Tempering Divine Technique."

After the bald old man finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a body-tempering technique called "Thunder God Body" entered the little mare's body.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

The mare exclaimed in delight.

If I offer this divine technique to my master, he should forgive me, right?
