Chapter 150: Huang Shiliu’s Principles (3)

“I’m very curious now. What if Huang Shiliu makes a mistake again?” Huang Xiaoqi looked at Lu Ping with interest.

Lu Ping said seriously, “Reason with him!”

“What if he makes a mistake again after reasoning with him?”

“Talk to him again!”

“What if he doesn’t change after repeated lessons?”

Lu ping laughed and said, “I’ll smack him with the ruler set to the pain value of 50!”

“Hahaha!” Huang Xiaoqi laughed. “So you’ll still end up using force?”

Lu Ping said helplessly, “At least we tried, right? We can’t just take action right away… It’s too inhumane. It’s not advisable to punish them without reasoning with them first.”

“I think it’s possible.”

Looking at Lu Ping, Huang Xiaoqi laughed in her heart. “My husband is really interesting. He’s not a blockhead who refuses to listen to reason.”

There were pros and cons to everything.

Sometimes, violence was a simple and effective way to solve a problem.

Logic didn’t always make sense.

At Lin Yueyin’s house, Lu Ping taught Cui Mengyao a lesson.

Cui Mengyao listened attentively while Lu Ping explained in detail.

Today was the first day Cui Mengyao was going to start refining pills.

Of course, she was only making some simple mortal pills.

Lin Yueyin had already prepared a low-grade alchemy furnace for Cui Mengyao and some mortal herbs.

Lu Ping was actually a little nervous. Although he had taught Cui Mengyao a lot of lessons, when it came to refining pills, his and Cui Mengyao’s standards were actually almost the same.

They both had zero experience.

“Today is our first time refining pills. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the process of constantly increasing your experience.”

Lu Ping smiled and encouraged Cui Mengyao.

Although he had never refined pills before, he knew that this thing was not simple.

“The pill we refined today is the Bezoar Dali Pill. It is a mortal pill. It mainly trains your control of true Qi and fire temperature,” Lu Ping said.

He was not nervous.

Ordinary medicinal herbs were not worth much to self-cultivators unless they were very old.

These medicinal herbs were basically just for low-level alchemists to practice.

“Mix bezoar, ginseng and medlar. Then add water.”

“Use fire-type spiritual energy, activate the furnace, and pour wood-type spiritual energy into the furnace…”

Lu Ping was at the side, directing her with his rich theoretical knowledge.

He observed carefully and continued to sense the process with his spirit sense.

“Your wood-type spiritual power decreased!”

“Raise the temperature!”

“Maintain a constant temperature!”

“Pour spiritual power into it again.”

“Slowly reduce the firepower and withdraw the spiritual power…”

After a series of commands, Lin Yueyin, Cui Mengyao, and Lu Ping all looked at the furnace.

Lu Ping went forward and opened the furnace.

Immediately, a medicinal fragrance gushed out, and three jade-green pills appeared in the center of the furnace.

Lu Ping took out the pills, placed them in front of his nose, and sniffed them. He muttered, “There’s a slight fragrance and the pills are jade-green, it should be a success!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a notification.

“Ding dong! Congratulations to host’s disciple Cui Mengyao for successfully refining the mortal pill, Bezoar Dali Pill. Host has obtained three Dali pills.”

“Dali Pill: Strength + 1 after consumption, each person is limited to 100 pills.”

This thing didn’t seem to be of much use.

That’s not right!

Lu Ping thought of the crux of the problem.

Although the Bezoar Dali Pill was a Dali pill, it was essentially a tonic. After consuming it, it wouldn’t really increase one’s strength.

It only replenished one’s body, causing the user to feel strong all over.

Hence, it was named the Bezoar Dali Pill.

However, the Dali pill given by the system caused one’s strength to increase by a point.

Although it was obvious that it wasn’t anything amazing, this pill was already beyond the scope of ordinary pills. It could strengthen the body in essence.

Most importantly, Cui Mengyao refined three ordinary pills.

He also obtained three enhanced versions of the pill.

Did that mean that he would benefit from Cui Mengyao refining pills in the future?

When he thought of this, Lu Ping’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“Mengyao, recover your true Qi well. Let’s do it again later!” Lu Ping said seriously.

Cui Mengyao was stunned. “Mr. Lu, didn’t you say that we would refine it once today to find out how it feels? Another batch of pills will take at least half an hour. If we make another batch, we won’t be able to practice swordsmanship.”

Lu Ping said seriously, “I will give you an extra 40 minutes for free today. We have plenty of practice to do!”

“Okay!” Cui Mengyao agreed immediately. The happiest time for her every day was when Lu Ping came to her house to give her lessons.

Lin Yueyin looked at the innocent and happy smile on her daughter’s face and sighed internally.

Her daughter was the happiest when she was with Lu Ping.

Cui Mengyao’s words sounded in her mind again.

She knew very well that her daughter wanted a father, and that person was Lu Ping. Seeing Lu Ping and Cui Mengyao chatting together, Lin Yueyin fell into deep thought.

Soon, Cui Mengyao recovered her true Qi.

The two of them refined another batch of pills.

However, this time, Cui Mengyao failed to refine the pills.

After all, she was just a child, and it was her first time refining pills. It was already very impressive of her to succeed in one batch.

Seeing that the pill refinement was a failure, Cui Mengyao was a little depressed. However, Lu ping immediately comforted her, “Don’t be sad. It’s already very impressive that you were able to successfully refine one batch!”

Cui Mengyao raised her head and said, “Really?”

“Of course. Many people might not even be able to successfully refine the first dozen batches of pills.” Lu Ping still focused on encouraging her,

Cui Mengyao asked curiously, “Then Mr. Lu, how many batches of pills did you succeed in?”

Lu Ping choked. “Of course I succeeded in just a few batches. Come and practice your swordsmanship. It won’t be long before your swordsmanship results reach the standard!” Lu Ping changed the topic.

After the lesson ended, Lu Ping took his leave. Lin Yueyin went out to see him off.

“Mr. Lu, are you free tomorrow night? Let’s have dinner together. It’s been hard on you during this period of time. We would like to express our gratitude to you!” Lin Yueyin invited Lu Ping over.

Lu Ping shook his head and said, “No, I still have to cultivate. There’s no need for dinner.”

Lin Yueyin sighed to herself.

Lu Ping did not seem to have much interest in her.

As a beautiful woman, this was something that she could not accept.

After all, many men around her had expressed their feelings for her.

And she knew very well that even if these guys did not want to be responsible for her, they would definitely not reject her if she wanted to have s*x with them.

However, Lu Ping really didn’t seem to have any feelings for her.

As she watched Lu Ping fly away on his sword, Lin Yueyin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“I remember that last time, a classmate of his revealed that he was gay. Could it be true?”
