Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 4: Break into the Yard

Qin Yi didn’t sleep as he was still dispensing medicine. Liu Su claimed that many medicines needed the moonlight, forcing him to stay up all night.

“For the red firefly grass, take only 1 inch from the tip; for the cold bamboo mat flower, only take the center of the pistil. Add 3 drops of golden toad pus, mix it with the dew of the moonlight, and pound it repeatedly… Master Qin Yi, don’t use me to pound the medicine anymore!”

“I’m already good for not feeding you to the toad dung! What the heck is golden toad pus? After adding it, it will either produce body quenching liquid or tickling powder, right?”

“What do you know? This is called the ’emperor, minister and assistant envoy’ (name of an ancient herbal medicine), mediating yin and yang…”

“Stop this crap. The stone skin water you asked me to configure last time, after adding so called head rock powder, it made me itchy for 3 days and 3 nights. Also the last last time…”

Liu Su interrupted confidently, “If you want to train your body, you have to endure the unbearable. Do you think practicing martial arts is about eating and sleeping?”

“I must have been bewitched by you!” Qin Yi angrily dripped 3 drops of pus, picked up the mace and pounded the stone mortar. He automatically imagined smashing a person’s head in, with his legs kicking the stone mortar as a form of comfort.

“Qin Yi, damn you!”

“Shut up, stinky stick!”

It had been a while since he studied apethecary and alchemy. As his knowledge of apothecary gradually deepened, Qin Yi began to suspect that some things were not necessary at all, but this damn stick deliberately asked him to add some deceptive additives without much effect as revenge for ruining her possession plan. Including the so-called borrowing moonlight, which sounded very unreliable. He didn’t know if this was even fake.

But in the end, the intern didn’t have the confidence to overthrow the instructor’s advice, so he could only choose to listen to Liu Su’s prescription, and he was cheated day after day.

Qin Yi was now refining body training medicine.

Although he didn’t learn any methods of cultivating immortal arts, he was learning martial arts.

The source of the martial arts was not taught by Liu Su, but the original owner of the body. There was even a codex on him. However, he just didn’t seem to grasp the feel of it, so his martial arts were not outstanding. But Liu Su knew many high-end techinuqes, even the stick arts…

The original owner of this body was average in practicing martial arts, but his blood could open up Liu Su’s strange space. Qin Yi also knew that there must be something strange here. Perhaps even the villagers are not as simple as they seem. Liu Su should know something, but no matter how I asks Liu Su, the response I get is to talk about me.

He hid a basketful of secrets. I would be damned if I trust this stinky stick.

“Repeatedly hammer 81 times to make the medicinal liquid even and turn into a light red paste, then open the furnace for refining?”

“Mhmm…refine, refine your ass… Mhmm…” The mace went in and out of the stone mortar and said painstakingly, “At most, we can refine the medicine embryo first. You still need the purple lotus root as the main medicine!”

Qin Yi was taken aback, “Purple lotus root…”

“Do you think that this lousy mountain has all kinds of medicinal materials? Even the county town doesn’t have any good products worthy of mentioning. It’s time to go out, boy, to the big place, to the land of fairies. What’s the future of staying in this lousy place? It has nothing. Are you thinking of learning alchemy by dreaming?”

Qin Yi stopped pounding the medicine, pursed his lips, and was a little lost in thought. It took a long time before he said, “Solve the problem in the mountain first, then I will think about it.”

Without saying anything, he picked up a bucket of water, sprinkled it with the stone skin water that he had prepared before, and mixed it into a body training liquid. Then, he stripped naked and slowly soaked into the water in the courtyard with the moonlight.

Not long after soaking in it, before the medicine effect had time to dissipate, the courtyard door was kicked open. Li Qingjun walked in with a spear in one hand and a hare in the other, “Liar…”

Before she finished speaking, a water bladder suddenly burst open on the door frame above her head, and a strange milky white liquid poured down her head and face. Li Qingjun subconsciously wanted to rush forward to dodge, but how could she escape the water that fell less than a foot away? Her head, face, and body were drenched.

It wasn’t over yet. As she subconsciously rushed forward, she stepped on something again. A vine directly wrapped her ankle tightly. Li Qingjun vigorously tried to break the vine, but she found that there was something wrong with the water. She was so sore and weak that she couldn’t lift herself. Moreover, the vine seemed to go through some special production. She could no longer shake it off with weakened strength.

With a sound of ‘shuash’, the vine pulled up, accompanied by a scream. Before Li Qingjun had time to take a second self-rescue measure, she was completely hung upside down on the door frame.

As she was being hung upside down, 2 vines came from the left and right, wrapping her hands tightly.

“Qin…” Li Qingjun gritted her teeth. Just as she opened her mouth, the liquid that was stuck on her chin was poured back into her mouth, leaving behind the sound of ‘Mhmm Mhmm’.

Her eyes were also blurred. When she looked from an upside down position, she could vaguely see Qin Yi, who seemed to be soaking in a bucket, staring at her dumbfoundedly.

From the moment she broke in to being hung upside down, Qin Yi didn’t even have time to react, and a girl was hung upside down at the door…

Yes, definitely a girl. After being drenched through, her figure is clearly slim. Especially the exquisite waist that is absolutely impossible for a man to have.

Her long hair had been loosened, drooping upside down. It was still smooth like a waterfall. Her face flushed with rage, her silver teeth were clenched tightly, and her eyes were shooting fire. She had an image of a very unyielding and strong woman…

“Why are you looking at me with a look of ready to die to preserve your chastity?” Qin Yi hugged his shoulders and huddled in the bucket, “This is me taking a bath in my own home. You broke in to see me, okay?”

Li Qingjun glared upside down as she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

She had never been so humiliated in the 15 years since she was born. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back tears when she spoke.

Qin Yi didn’t speak anymore. The current situation was a bit awkward…Li Qingjun hung upside down facing the yard and his bathtub. He could neither stay nor get up.

The 2 stared at each other for a long time before Li Qingjun finally gritted her teeth and said, “Let me go!”

Qin Yi could only say, “Close your eyes first.”

Li Qingjun was vigilant, “What are you trying to do?!”

“…” Qin Yi slowly lifted the mace leaning against the bucket.

Li Qingjun was ashamed and angry. She didn’t cry when she was hung, but she really cried this time. Tears swirled in her eyes, and fell out as soon as she closed her eyes.

Liu Su’s laughter sounded from Qin Yi’s sea of ??consciousness, “This girl is fun.”

Qin Yi ignored her. He still didn’t know how to communicate with soul.

After a flush of water, footsteps sounded. Someone seemed to be standing in front of her. Li Qingjun closed her eyes tightly, but Qin Yi did not seem to let her go after a long time. She couldn’t help feeling horrified when she imagined the scene where his eyes roved over her body, “You, don’t you dare. My brother is coming soon. He will kill you!”

Qin Yi tilted his head to admire the beauty hanging upside down for a while. The tight grip of the spear highlighted the panic in the little girl’s mind.

Li Qingjun opened her eyes suddenly, staring furiously.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Qin Yi was well-dressed and was 2 feet away from her. At least, she was at ease now. She said angrily, “Put me down!”

Qin Yi made a sudden move and tapped Li Qingjun’s acupuncture point.

Li Qingjun was shocked, “You!”

However, Qin Yi slowly began to untie the vine, “If I don’t do this, I can’t bear it if you come down and put a hole in me. No offense.”

Li Qingjun took back what she wanted to say, and she asked coldly, “You have added tendon softening powder to this water, do you still need to tap the acupuncture point to cut off the pulse?”

“It doesn’t hurt to be careful.” Qin Yi stretched out his hand to push her shoulder while the other hand dragged her ankle. Without any excessive movements of hugging her, he easily turned her body upright.

Li Qingjun was ready to be taken advantage of by him, but Qin Yi’s performance surprised her a bit. A seemingly playboy actually turns out to be quite polite? The shame and anger in her mind were subdued by such a move.

As soon as she landed, the vines entangled everywhere disappeared in a ‘swoosh’. The scene was a bit dreamy. Li Qingjun watched silently, rubbed her wrist, and said nothing.

At least this person is by no means an ordinary villager. Ordinary villagers would not set traps at their doorsteps, nor would they be able to set up traps that combine some kind of array.

Qin Yi casually pulled a chair for her and said leisurely, “Miss, can you tell me why you broke into my yard now?”
