Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 37: Medicine King Spirit Liquid7_ Medicine King Spirit Liquid

Under the dazzling night sky, the majestic form of the Tree King blocked the moonlight. The little Medicine Kings were frolicking in the water, and even Lu Yang joined in, creating a harmonious and seemingly timeless scene.

After the little Medicine Kings finished their enjoyable bath, they lay sprawled on the ground and on the roof of the wooden house, sound asleep.

The Tree King wasn’t idle. While the little Medicine Kings slept, it collected the water and the wooden barrel, puzzling Lu Yang.

“What are you doing?” Lu Yang asked.

The Tree King casually explained, “Oh, this is for Old Ba. He said the bathwater is quite valuable. The disciples of Dao Seeking Sect like to use it.”

The Tree King moved its branches, resembling a shrug, expressing its helplessness towards human behaviors. Being a plant, it found human actions quite perplexing. For example, it knew humans liked to use its ‘hair’ or leaves to brew tea or its ‘skin’ to cook, which they claimed added flavor, something called cinnamon.

“Oh, right, Old Ba also gave a fancy name to the bathwater – Medicine King Spirit Liquid. Humans are more cultured, indeed. Their naming skills are way above ours.”

“Medicine King Spirit Liquid?” Lu Yang repeated the name under his breath, feeling it sounded familiar. He quickly remembered where he had heard it – it was the highly popular Medicine King Spirit Liquid on the contribution points exchange list of Dao Seeking Sect. So, this was the ‘special method’ of its production!

Lu Yang began to question the authenticity of various strange items listed on the exchange list. The descriptions seemed fine, but that didn’t mean there were no issues!

...

In the following days, Lu Yang tirelessly burrowed through the earth while the little Medicine Kings incessantly chattered about herbal knowledge, making his days quite full.

“I remember there’s a patch of Eight Treasure Lotus ahead, very pretty and delicate. Do you want to burrow over to see it?” The Ginseng Child suggested from behind Lu Yang.

“...Shouldn’t the lotus be growing in a pond?”

“Yes,” the Ginseng Child nodded matter-of-factly.

“So, if I burrow there, won’t I end up plunging into the pond?”

The Ginseng Child had an epiphany, “Oh, right. You make a good point.”

“...”

Lu Yang, following the Ginseng Child’s directions, emerged from the ground and saw the stunning Eight Treasure Lotus nearby. Morning dew condensed and dripped from the petals into the pond, creating ripples. The Eight Treasure Lotus was known for its effects in clearing heat, eliminating dampness, detoxifying, and nourishing the heart, often used in pill concoction.

“I just don’t know why it’s called ‘Eight Treasure’.” Lu Yang mused, recalling what he had read in books.

This was the clothing habit of their tribe.

“These two are...”

“Let me introduce you. These are your seniors, the Silver Ring Heavenly King Worms.” Uncle Ba said.

Lu Yang suddenly understood. It seemed that the marital conflict between the couple had been resolved, and they were reconciled. He wouldn’t have to dig up soil anymore.

It was quite fast to resolve emotional disputes within a month. He had thought it would turn into a 40-50 episode drama, with the female lead losing her memory, the male lead awakening her memories, and the story ending happily.

“He’s Lu Yang. You husband and wife must have heard of him. He’s the fourth disciple of the Sect Master, cultivated personally by Yun Zhi,”

“I greet the two seniors,” Lu Yang greeted them, scaring the Silver Ring Heavenly King Worms, who quickly raised him up and refused to accept the courtesy.

“You are Yunzhi’s junior brother, I’m Li Yin. You can just call me little Li. This is my wife, little Li.” (the Li here is different in chinese)

The junior disciple of the female demoness, who would dare to consider him a junior?

Lu Yang didn’t know what image his senior sister had in the eyes of others.

“How did you two resolve your problems?”

“What’s so difficult about that?” A voice came from underground.

A couple emerged from the ground, looking exactly like the Silver Ring Heavenly King Worms.

“Since my wife can split herself in two and become sisters, naturally, I can also split in two and create a brother,” Little Li proudly said.

The second couple was also very affectionate.

Uncle Ba nodded approvingly; this idea had come from him.

He was still very responsible, resolving problems that he had caused.
