It had only been nine days since Ying Zheng and Li Jing last met.
"How many times have you fed the golden core fragments?”
In the hall, Ying Zheng said in a cold voice.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I've been fed three times. I discovered this situation after I fed it once this morning.”
Zhao Gao now roughly guessed why Ying Zheng had issued an edict to summon Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and other necromancers a few days ago.
At this moment, in the birdcage in the hall, the lively birds could be seen standing on the wooden stick listlessly, no longer as active as they had been a few days ago.
This bird was originally raised by someone. Other than adding the fragments of the golden core, the various steps were not much different from before.
"Other than that, rats, rabbits, and puppies didn't have any reaction.”
Zhao Gao replied.
This was also Li Si's suggestion. Since Ying Zheng did not intend to consume these golden pills, he might as well add a few more animals to feed the golden pills as a reference.
Ying Zheng agreed very quickly. Every few days, he would take out a golden pill and feed it to the birds, rats, rabbits, and puppies.
"Alright, continue feeding."
Ying Zheng raised his head and said expressionlessly.
"When will Xu Fu, Lu, and the others arrive?”
Then, Ying Zheng asked again.
"It should take another ten days to arrive.”
Zhao Gao had already calculated it, so he immediately answered Ying Zheng's question.
In the past, Ying Zheng had given Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the other necromancers extremely preferential treatment. And according to what Xu Fu had said, they needed to go out to sea to search for Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou Celestial Mountains in order to obtain the Elixir of Immortality. Ying Zheng had even ordered his men to start preparing for it.
But now that this had happened, Zhao Gao was secretly shocked.
And the source of all this seemed to be because Ying Zheng had been to the mountain in the east of Pei County once, and ordered the test of the Golden Core after he returned.
"I heard that there's a famous necromancer on that mountain. This necromancer must have said something…"
Zhao Gao guessed in his heart.
"Let's go and pay another visit to Alchemist Li.”
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng could not help but nod his head, and then said to Li Si, Meng Tian, and the others.
Just as Ying Zheng was in a bad mood because the birds were beginning to show signs of dispirited because of the poison pill…
At this moment, on the Hidden Immortal Peak, Li Jing and Lu Zhi were chatting happily.
Lu Zhi brought pastries. The little servant girl placed them on the table deftly. Li Jing picked one up and ate it. It was sweet and soft in his mouth. He couldn't help but praise it.
"Young Master Li, this is something that Young Miss consulted the cook and made several times before it was completed.”
Xiaoli said crisply, taking credit for her Miss with Li Jing.
"No wonder little sister Lu Zhi is so thoughtful.”
Li Jing praised again.
Immediately, the little servant girl beamed with joy, but Lu Zhi, who was sitting opposite Li Jing, blushed. He was very embarrassed and pinched the leg of the little servant girl beside him, making the little servant girl grimace.
The two women stayed by Li Jing's side for two hours before reluctantly leaving.
"Miss, have you noticed that Young Master Li seems to be a little different from before?”
On the way down the mountain road, the little servant girl muttered in Lu Zhi's ear.
"What's the difference?"
Lu Zhi also noticed the change, but he still asked subconsciously.
"It seems, it seems to have become more beautiful…"
The servant girl's ears turned slightly red as she replied softly.
"Is this why you were staring at Big Brother Li just now?”
When Lu Zhi saw the shy appearance of his servant girl, he could not help but pinch her ear forcefully.
The little servant girl was about to cry out in pain when her ear was twisted, but when she heard her young miss's words, her little face instantly turned red and she stammered.
Compared to the simple good-looking words of the little servant girl, Lu Zhi saw more. She clearly saw that Li Jing seemed to be in a perfect state that ordinary people could not imagine.
His figure was tall and slender, his face was like jade, and his skin was crystal clear and delicate. There was not even a trace of dark spots or scars. His entire person sat there, giving off an otherworldly beauty.
Naturally, she did not know that after Li Jing's Zixia Qi Refinement Method was successful, his body was evolving into a perfect human state under the subtle refinement of the purple gas mysterious material energy.
"Father is right. Brother Li is indeed different from ordinary necromancers. He has real skills!”
? Lu Zhi could not help muttering in his heart.
Moreover, Lu Zhi also discovered something that the little servant girl did not notice. That was, staying beside Li Jing, she clearly felt that her breathing was more comfortable and fresh.
At first, she thought it was an illusion, but after taking the opportunity to leave Li Jing's side a few times, she found that these feelings were real and not an illusion.
It made her want to stay by Li Jing's side all the time. If it weren't for Xiaoli, the servant girl, who was afraid of being punished by Lu Gong and urged her many times, Lu Zhi would not have left the mountain yet.
Li Jing had already noticed what Lu Zhi and Xiaoli had discovered.
As his Purple Clouds Qi Refinement became more profound, his body was indeed transforming. Moreover, Li Jing was cultivating on his own all the time, absorbing the mysterious substances around him.
The concentration of the mysterious substance around Li Jing had increased, so he could more or less rub against Li Jing, which was why Lu Zhi felt very comfortable.
Even now, birds in the mountains occasionally found this phenomenon and liked to land around Li Jing.
"The Eldest Young Lady of the Lu Residence has left. Brothers, get ready. Let's go up and deal with that brat on the mountain now.”
Not long after Lu Zhi's carriage and guards left, a group of people came out from the forest. The leader of the group looked towards the Hidden Immortal Peak and could not help but laugh and tease.
"Is the eldest daughter of the Lu family worthy of a wild kid like him? What alchemist? Ptui, a brat whose hair hasn't even grown.”
Another slightly skinny person echoed the leader's words.
As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and could not help but laugh happily.
Then, everyone held their blades and began to walk up the mountain.
