Chapter 106: The Third Nirvana

  "Yunyan has gone out, in recent months, she has been studying various business knowledge outside, saying that in the future, she will do a good job in logistics and not let you worry about money."

  Ah Hu said, on that thick and honest face, suddenly a hint of ambiguous smile appeared: "Young master, I think Yunyan has a good impression on you. Although Yunyan is a bit older than you, she looks young, and you look mature. Why don't you consider it? The more prestigious the man, the more wives and concubines he has. You're too lonely like this, not even a little maid to warm your bed."

  "Don't talk nonsense."

  Qin Li stared at Ah Hu, he himself was not a guardian of the way, but he also didn't want to consider this matter before picking up Shangguan Shi Yu. Especially now that everything was still in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, where would he have the energy to worry about such things?

  "What's wrong with the watermelon? Doesn't he know that in a few days, he'll be reborn for the third time?! Qin Li furrowed his brow. If the watermelon were here, it would have probably run away already."

  "Watermelon, sigh." Mentioning watermelon, Ah Hu sighed and said: "He recently subdued a small gang, only two or three hundred people. These days that small gang was threatened by a big gang nearby, Watermelon went to solve this matter."

  "What times are these, still bothering with such things!"

  "Master, the watermelon is actually afraid that it can't hold on this time in Nie's nest. It wants to leave you with some useful people. The leader of that small gang I've seen before is a sensible person who knows how to listen. Watermelon's intention is that even if he dies, we'll still control a small gang in the imperial capital, and we won't be completely out of touch with any news."

  Qin Li felt a pang in his heart and also understood that the watermelon vendor's approach was correct. Never underestimate those at the bottom of society, as news often spreads from them!

  Even when Qin Li entered the Imperial Capital, the shocking thing he did was understood by Ah Hu and others through those people bit by bit. It was precisely because of that matter that Ah Hu thoroughly believed in Qin Li and willingly worked for him.

  Otherwise, personal relationships are personal relationships, and a small person can't make fun of his own future.

  "Where is the young master? Where is he?" Outside, a noisy voice came from afar and drew near. Qin Li and Ah Hu exchanged a smile, this kid was still as impulsive as ever.

  As soon as he saw Qin Li, he smiled with a big grin and said: "It's been a long time since I've seen Master Shu, you're looking well!"

  "This kid has become more sensible!" Qin Li thought to himself. Then he said, "Is that so? I heard you're busy getting into a fight with someone?"

  "Hehe!"

  As soon as he mentioned the gang, Xigua's spirit seemed to surge, and he smiled with a wide grin: "That's right. Recently, there was a blind mid-sized gang that wanted to swallow my gang whole. But their boss is just a second-rate master of the mysterious level, blinded by his own arrogance. I cut off the tendons in his right hand with one sword strike, sparing his life. His gang now belongs to us!"

  Xuan-level second stage, in the eyes of a watermelon. Became an inconspicuous small goods, Qin Li could only say that this world is too crazy, more than a year ago, a Huang-level first-stage entry martial artist could also beat him to the point where he was searching for his teeth everywhere?

  "What about you, how's your preparation for the exam?" Qin Li didn't plan to listen to this kid's nonsense anymore. Xigua was obviously afraid that he would worry, so she kept trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

  "It's okay", "it's alright". The watermelon chuckled.

  Qin Li, however, saw a glimmer of fear in the depths of Xigua's eyes and thought to himself that this was more like it. No one would remain unmoved by death! Even Qin Hongyuan's loyal bodyguards, when faced with death, wouldn't they feel the same fear?

  "What's going on, tell me the truth, how much have you prepared yourself?" Qin Li asked with a frown.

  "There wasn't a hint of watermelon on his face, but finally a trace of despair appeared: "Sister Leng said that the inner elixir of the Black Water Cow might be able to save my life, but that thing is too precious. I'm afraid even if I use it, it won't work well, and I'll just waste an inner elixir from a heavenly-level spirit beast!"

  Nowadays, Xīguā is not the ignorant and poor kid from yesterday's slum, he is very clear about what a top-grade spiritual beast's inner pellet means, no matter how much money is offered on the black market, it is still priceless!

  No one would ever sell this thing!

  "Nonsense! What's worth more than a life? Is the inner elixir of a heavenly spirit beast that impressive?" Qin Li rebuked Xigua with a stern face, but saw deep emotion in his eyes.

  Standing beside him, Ah Hu's heart was also racing. This wasn't something that could be glossed over with a few insincere words - this was the inner elixir of a top-grade spiritual beast! And what's more, just before this, the majority of the 100,000 taels of silver spent by Qing Yao on those extremely valuable medicinal pellets had also been Qin Li's!

  Originally belonged to Ah Hu, Bu Yunyan and Leng Yao's money. Qin Li never used it at all!

  All the precious medicinal materials were collected by Qin Li on his way after escaping from Qin Hengtian's hands and closing the door for cultivation, and were brought to the imperial capital, selling for about 300,000 old cuts, plus the cost! Only then was it enough to buy down the Du Tongting Courtyard and treat Xigua's injuries.

  But such an opportunity is probably only once in a lifetime. Just take the countless high-level spiritual beasts on the Phoenix Mountain side, for ordinary people to enter, it's simply a suicidal act!

  Even if Qin Li himself didn't want to go back and try again, he couldn't understand why he hadn't encountered a single powerful spiritual beast from start to finish that time. But he also knew that this kind of thing could only happen once. Just as Qin Li firmly believed, it was impossible for Qin Hengtian to survive in that place for long.

  The notorious name of Phoenix Lake is definitely not undeserved!

  "Alright, I'll go take a look at Leng Yao. For the next few days, I'll just stay here and wait for Xigua to get through this ordeal before discussing anything else!" Qin Li said as he turned around and headed towards the backyard.

  Along the way, they met several maids and servants who looked at this handsome young man with curious eyes, wondering when another one had appeared in their household. However, most of the servants chosen by Bu Yunyan were those who had worked for wealthy families before, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask.

  So Qin Li walked all the way to Leng Yao's alchemy room door, and no one came up to ask him anything.

  From far away, you could smell a mix of various medicinal herbs, not particularly pleasant, but not unpleasant either. After all, the medicinal materials that can be used to refine elixirs are considered to be spiritual and good things.

  Pushing open the door, he saw Leng Yao's slender figure, her back to the entrance, bent over and staring at the furnace fire. The requirements for refining elixirs were extremely strict, and even a slight deviation in temperature could lead to failure.

  Qin immediately didn't conceal his breath, and Leng Yao's vigilance was still okay. He suddenly turned around and saw that it was Qin Li. A hint of surprise flashed in Leng Yao's eyes, and he said in a clear and cold voice: "When did you arrive?"

  "Just came over, what are you doing?"

  "I'll try to cut down a bit of the Tian Shui Ben Niu's inner elixir, then add some black water Ben Niu's essence blood and some calming medicine, see if I can refine a brand new pill. If it succeeds, it might be of great help to Xigua's illness." Leng Yao said, tucking away a stray lock of hair behind her ear, her pale face had several smudges of black soot.

  "What? You've come up with a 'Dan Fang' yourself?" Qin Li asked, somewhat surprised. Although he was not good at alchemy, in theory, he could be considered an expert, and he naturally understood the difference between using ancient people's tried-and-tested formulas and creating a new type of Dan medicine. The latter was simply too difficult! Only those with great wisdom and perseverance would have any chance of success!

  "How many times have you tried? This is heartbreaking."

  Qin's words of concern made Leng Yao feel very pleased, and a rare smile appeared on her face. Her tone also softened: "It's okay, I've gained some insights after reading the Dan Fang secret recipe you gave me. I've probably tried it over a hundred times already! Fortunately, except for two main materials, the prices of other auxiliary medicinal materials are not high, and I can still afford them. Let's pray together, hoping this time will be successful!"

  That Dan Fang secret recipe, Qin Li said couldn't be left with Leng Yao, but after such a long time, it still hadn't been taken back, and he believed Leng Yao had already memorized it by heart. Perhaps the prayers of Leng Yao and Qin Li really worked, this batch of elixir was extremely successful!

  Although the plan is complete, its effectiveness is something that no one dares to guarantee.

  Six days later, all the servants in the mansion were given a five-day holiday, and each person was given several taels of silver. They were sent away happily, leaving only the five of them in the large mansion.

  "First take two of these pills!" Leng Yao handed the newly refined medicine to Xigua.

  The watermelon was swallowed without hesitation, and suddenly a warm current rose up in his abdomen. His spirit, which was already very full, became even more vibrant!

  The watermelon's eyes lit up and he gave Leng Yao a thumbs-up: "Sister Leng, this elixir is top-notch!"

  "Protect Yuan Yi!" Qin Li shouted, then said to Leng Yao: "Prepare the black water cow inner elixir too. At a critical moment, give it to him! No matter what, we must let him pass this tribulation! Even if all his skills are lost, as long as he's alive, that's better than anything!"

  Ling Yu nodded silently, watching Qin Li turn around, a strange emotion flowing in her beautiful eyes. This was the mainstay they had been looking for!

  Soul's scorching wound, immense pain, as promised!

  What is called Nirvana, according to the mainland epic "Ramayana": The protective god Vishnu ignited a fierce flame, and the dying phoenix threw itself into the fire, burning into ashes, and then reborn from the ashes, becoming a beautiful and radiant immortal fire phoenix.

  They call this Nirvana!

  It can be seen that Nezha will have to endure how terrible torture and suffering, it's simply like going to die voluntarily!

  Sweat drops as big as soybeans fell from the watermelon's face like rain. If you want to know what happened next,
