CH 8

As Li Huowang turned around and walked back, he saw the albino girl shyly take off a shoe and take off a gold foot ring wrapped in red thread from her fair ankle.

Li Huowang opened his eyes wide and took it over, shaking the golden foot ring in his palm. Although this gold foot ring is a bit thin, it is also gold anyway, and it is estimated to be worth a lot of money.

He contentedly stuffed these things into the wide cuffs of the Taoist robe and pointed at the white haired girl, saying, “Listen, she will be in charge of the material room in the future, and everything will be up to her.”

Seeing everyone nodding hesitantly, Li Huowang rushed towards the alchemy room with the prepared materials.

As he walked, he looked towards the waist of the others, attempting to find another jade pendant. Unfortunately, he was disappointed to find that he had not found it.

When Li Huowang returned to the alchemy room, he saw the oppressive alchemy furnace slowly opening.

With a wave of Dan Yang Tzu’s sleeve, several dark blue pills quickly arranged neatly and entered the earthy yellow gourd on his waist.

Li Huowang was envious of this kind of magic, which should be what Xuan Yin referred to as a magical power. He didn’t know if he could find a way to learn it. 

“Making money is not the best way, and if I can bring this ability to reality……”

Li Huowang bent down and put down the materials in his hand, ready to stand by and watch and learn. Now that he doesn’t understand anything, he still needs to listen and watch more.

“Xuan Yang~”

“Is there something else to do? Am I really doing odd jobs? I need to find a way to have this old man teach me magic.”

Li Huowang folded his hands and bowed to Dan Yang Tzu,”Master, what can I do for you?”

“Go,bring a medicinal herb called Bai Lingmiao from the material room.”

Li Huowang’s heart pounded for a moment, and his right hand reached into his sleeve to touch the golden foot ring. He found that Bai Lingmiao seemed to be the name of the albino girl.

“Hmm~? “Dan Yang Tzu turned his head and looked at the new disciple who hadn’t responded for a long time.

Li Huowang suddenly felt helpless. He had just said he wanted to protect her, but now he is about to indirectly kill her.

“Are you deaf?”

Feeling Dan Yang Tzu’s tone beginning to deteriorate, Li Huowang reluctantly sighed and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the clean and white ward. 

“What should I do?”

If in the past, he would have followed suit without hesitation, but the problem is that the world over there is likely to be real now. 

If he really took Bai Lingmiao to the alchemy room, she would probably die. He really couldn’t do such a thing.

After the nurses untied his restraint, Li Huowang bit his nails and wandered back and forth in the room. “What should I do? What should I do??”

Before he could think of a solution, the ward door was pushed open from outside, and Li Huowang saw his attending doctor walk in through the door.

He suddenly burst into a bitter smile, and both worlds were blocked, and he couldn’t escape.

The doctor pointed at him with a disappointed expression and said, “Li, you… well, when the visiting family leaves, we’ll talk alone.”

“Visiting family?”

Before Li Huowang could react, he saw his haggard mother hurriedly walking in with a bag of oranges from outside.

“I heard you had a fight with someone in the hospital? What’s wrong with your head? Why is it bandaged like this? Do you feel any pain?”

The woman rushed up and looked at Li Huowang nervously.”Mom, it doesn’t hurt, I’m fine, I’m really fine, “Li Huowang quickly comforted his mother.

After appeasing for a while, Li Huowang finally didn’t let his mother’s tears fall.In front of his close relatives, no matter what trouble, it doesn’t matter.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. My illness is much better, and I haven’t forgotten to study. I’ll be able to take the college entrance examination when I’m discharged,”said Li Huowang.

“Don’t hide it from me, the doctors have already told me. Tell me, what exactly happened that day? Who caused the trouble?”

Li Huowang tried his best to ease his tone and told his mother, but it didn’t seem to ease much.

“We won’t lose money!! It’s their fault, even if they’re sick, it’s also the hospital’s responsibility to take care of them! Our children never bully anyone, but we absolutely can’t let others bully us! Even if we go to the court, the victims are also us! “Excited Sun Xiaoqin fiercely patted the table several times.

Looking at the awkward doctor on the side, Li Huowang continued to soothe his mother. “Mom, Mom, don’t get excited. It’s not easy for you to come, just accompany me.”

Sun Xiaoqin suppressed her anger and bent down to take out the fruit from the bag. “Don’t worry about this matter, I’ll take care of it. Here, this is your favorite milk grapes. Eat more. Look at how thin you are. The hospital food is not good, right?”

“In fact,the hospital food is still very good,”Li Huowang sat next to his mother and ate.

Listening to his mother’s complaints and eating sweet grapes, Li Huowang’s heart calmed down.

He likes this feeling, and it has been a long time since he entered the hospital that he has not experienced the warmth of his family.

Looking at his mother, Li Huowang even wanted to tell everything that had happened to him, but in the end, he did not do so.

She is different from Yang Na. If he does, she will only think that her condition has worsened and cannot make her worry anymore. He must wait until everything stabilizes before telling her.

Just as the mother and son were chatting happily, the doctor’s phone rang,”Ms.Sun, the family of Patient Liu has also arrived…”

Sun Xiaoqin bid farewell to Li Huowang temporarily, and then walked towards the door like a rooster about to duel.

Seeing her leaving behind, Li Huowang felt immense peace of mind.She was like a big umbrella covering his head to shield herself from the wind and rain, and all the previous anxieties disappeared at this moment.

Just as Li Huowang ate another grape, his body suddenly shook and everything around him began to change color again. 

“Oh, I forgot how to deal with the Qingfeng Temple. What should I do now?”

When everything around him stabilized again, Li Huowang saw himself standing in the material room, and Dan Yang Tzu stood not far away with a gloomy face. The other medicinal herbs circled and lowered their heads.

Dan Yang Tzu’s dirty right hand flipped over, and a thick, wriggling black object appeared in his hand, making strange and disgusting noises every time it twisted.

“Hmm? Didn’t he use Bai Lingmiao to refine pills? What happened while I was away?”

After a brief hesitation for a second, Li Huowang spoke up and asked, “Master, what is this?”

“Good thing, the Ganoderma……the Black Ganoderma.”

(Note:黑hei太tai岁sui,太岁means Ganoderma lucidum, and here I simply call it Ganoderma. It is a fungus that can be used as medicine and food. In Chinese folklore, it is sometimes a strange creature that may live forever if eaten, and sometimes Ganoderma is a harmful monster.)
