Chapter 3250: Chapter 3250: Boiling A Man
Li Qiye stayed at the village with nothing to do . He either just sat in his room or went on a stroll around the village .
He looked like a layabout, only eating and sleeping . The most productive thing he did was the occasional playing with the children .
He was definitely a mortal right now, and the laziest kind . Liu Fuyou would never think much of him without prior interactions .
Alas, these leisure days didn’t last long . Li Qiye thought about leaving the village after several days .
He decided to take Liu Fuyou with him as an errand boy of sorts . Fuyou was at the Conqueror Vessel realm . He wasn’t a big shot or anything but could still be considered somebody .
Moreover, he was relatively influential in his sect which was a first-rate one in West King .
Most would not understand why a cultivator would let a mortal order him alone . However, Fuyou didn’t really mind .
He quietly carried a medicine basket and walked behind Li Qiye . The two of them have been very busy entering the mountain and forest looking for herbs and grass, starting early in the morning and ending late at night .
The ones found weren’t precious at all . Nonetheless, they were varied ranging from herbs used by mortals to the rare ones growing on the steep cliffs or hidden valleys .
Thus, Fuyou performed the hard labor necessary to grab the out-of-reach ones . He didn’t utter a single grievance and followed all of Li Qiye’s orders with immense attentiveness .
“Now this one is rare . ” Today, Li Qiye told him to get a plant growing on a precipice, sticking on it like a gecko .
“What is it?” Fuyou wasn’t an alchemist . He recognized most of the ones found recently but not all .
“The world had changed, so did certain things . I don’t know the name but the fundamental essences are the same . ” Li Qiye smiled and threw it into the basket .
Fuyou has grown used to listening to these inscrutable comments from Li Qiye .
Li Qiye began refining them after gathering enough . Watching him at work left Fuyou surprised because he didn’t look like an alchemist . His methods resembled that of regular people .
In the cultivation world, alchemists would use their dao fire to smelt ingredients and refine pills .
As for Li Qiye? He used a regular fire and drying method by leaving the herbs and grass out in the sun .
It looked like he was actually booking, resorting to steaming, frying, boiling, and drying…
Putting that aside, Li Qiye was as skilled as can be . Fuyou felt as if he was watching a master at work .
“Are you an alchemist, Young Master?” Fuyou couldn’t help but ask .
“No, I am not, this is just a casual hobby . All are interconnected, no need to be fixated with one thing or one dao . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
Fuyou thought that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to say something like this for various reasons . Only those at the top could do so .
It took a while before Li Qiye finished preparing the herbs and grass . He told Fuyou to prepare a large pot . He was meticulous when adding the materials into the pots, keeping track of the weight, order, and dropping technique .
He also made Fuyou watch and control the fire carefully using forced draft at the bottom .
Finally, all of the materials have been added . The boiling resulted in a bubbling medicinal liquid inside the pot . It had a dark green color, looking like a melted piece of jade .
“May I ask what this is, Young Master?” Fuyou respectfully asked .
“A one-and-only type of ointment . Jump in, boil for a bit now . ” Li Qiye ordered .
“M-me?” Fuyou pointed at his nose, astonished . He wasn’t ready to jump into a boiling pot .
“It’s not like I’ll make soup out of you . ” Li Qiye glanced at him and said .
Fuyou finally got the point and immediately jumped into the pot, immersing his body into the medicinal liquid .
Li Qiye then placed the iron lid on before adding fire, causing the liquid to churn more .
A few children playing in the courtyard became frightened at this sight .
“Is… is he trying to boil Instructor?” One of them murmured .
“Yes, I’m about to make a meat soup, want a bowl? Human soup is extremely delicious . ” Li Qiye saw them and decided to play around .
“No!!” The children turned pale and ran away .
Li Qiye chuckled and added more firewood and wind to strengthen the fire .
Only the sizzling of the fire and bubbles could be heard in the courtyard right now .
Eventually, a loud explosion came from the pot, similar to thunder . It was as if the pot wasn’t containing medicinal liquid but rather, a pool of lightning and thunder .
One could also hear the clicking noises of Fuyou’s bones loosening . A powerful aura eventually came out .
Li Qiye remained aloof as if he didn’t care about the guy boiling to death . He still added more firewood to strengthen the fire . Eventually, the fire was strong enough to engulf the entire pot .
This lasted a while longer because a groan could be heard . “Bam!” The iron lid was pushed to the side .
“Splash!” Fuyou leaped out of the pot . His bones were cracking as if they were growing larger .
An imperial aura surrounded him, causing him to look lofty like a king sitting on his throne . It emitted considerable pressure and fierceness .
“This… I’m, I’m fully healed!” Fuyou felt comfortable from top to bottom; his vitality, grand dao, and chaos energy were roaring inside like massive waves .
He had returned to his peak state . The withered four symbols of the fate palace have been healed . Power brimmed within him - akin to a bedridden person suddenly becoming better and jumping around .
He realized that he was completely cured by this point; the trauma haunting him was all but gone .
It became a scene of contrast - the calm Li Qiye sitting down versus the ecstatic Fuyou .
The latter got on his knees and bowed respectfully: “Young Master, thank you for granting me another life, I owe you a debt of gratitude similar to that with my birth parents . ” Tears started running down .
This wasn’t an exaggeration . Despair struck him when the seniors back in the sect couldn’t solve his problem . He thought that his cultivation would stop at Conqueror Essence, if not decrease even more .
That’s why he returned to the village in order to teach the children, hoping to nourish seeds good enough . Perhaps a few of them would be able to join Divine Black in the future .
Keep in mind that he used to be an excellent disciple in Divine Black . This made the fall from grace even harder to accept .
