After dealing with the Maoshan Sect, Lu Zijia got busy again, but this time, she wasn’t busy with talismans or refining pills, but brewing wine.
Yes, brewing wine.
Lu Zijia mainly made two kinds of wine.
One was for ordinary people to strengthen their bodies after drinking it, and the other was for martial artists to increase their cultivation by a small amount after drinking it. However, it wouldn’t leave impurities in their bodies like pills would.
But before she was done brewing, someone came to look for her.
After hearing Mu Yi’s report, Lu Zijia, who was about to leave the house, thought for a while and went to meet the guest instead.
“You must be Alchemist Lu, right? The younger generation will surpass us in time. Nice to meet you.”
As soon as Lu Zijia went downstairs, a middle-aged man with a beard stood up from the sofa and waved at her with a smile.
Before Lu Zijia responded, the middle-aged man said again, “Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Shiwu. Alchemist Lu, you can call me Shiwu.”
Lu Zijia nodded, but she didn’t call him Shiwu; she called him Mr. Xu politely.
“Second Young Madam, Mr. Xu is Alchemist Xu’s guard.” Mu Yi explained.
When Lu Zijia was upstairs, she had already heard Mu Yi’s brief introduction of Alchemist Xu.
Alchemist Xu was an old man in his fifties. He didn’t belong to any family or force. He had been standing in the capital for six years as an itinerant cultivator.
No one knew where Alchemist Xu came from. By the time he gained recognition, he was already in the capital.
It wasn’t that none of the factions had thought of forcing Alchemist Xu to submit, but no one had succeeded after so many years. Besides, those forces who wanted to coerce Alchemist Xu into their factions did not have a good ending in the end, so gradually, no one dared to have any ideas about Alchemist Xu anymore.
In addition, many martial artists needed Alchemist Xu’s help, so Alchemist Xu’s status became more and more stable.
Alchemist Xu had a grandson who was said to be a weak and sickly person. Even Alchemist Xu himself was unable to treat his grandson. For so many years, Alchemist Xu offered a huge reward, hoping that someone could cure his grandson.
In the past six years, many people went forward to try, but unfortunately, not only did they fail to cure Alchemist Xu’s grandson, some of them even caused his condition to worsen.
After that, Alchemist Xu no longer let anyone treat his grandson casually, unless it was someone chosen by Alchemist Xu himself.
And now, Alchemist Xu chose Lu Zijia.
Lu Zijia didn’t agree rashly, but asked instead, “Mr. Xu, can you tell me about the patient first?”
“Of course.”
Seeing that Lu Zijia didn’t refuse immediately, Xu Shiwu was delighted in his mind and immediately told her the situation.
It turned out that something happened to Alchemist Xu’s grandson more than six years ago. Since then, his body was always cold, and when it was a full moon, his body would even become stiff, as if it was frozen. If he wasn’t still breathing, he would appear no different from the living dead.
After hearing what Xu Shiwu said, Lu Zijia’s eyes flickered slightly. The symptoms that Xu Shiwu talked about were very similar to the symptoms from eating some kind of fruit that she knew.
If it was really the fruit she knew, she would be overjoyed!
Because that kind of fruit was very useful for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage! After taking it, one could have a minor breakthrough in cultivation!
With her current cultivation level at the third level of Qi Refinement, if she took the pills refined by the fruit, she could directly break through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement!
