It had only been nine days since Ying Zheng last met with Li Jing.

"How many times have you fed Gold Core crumbs?"

In the hall, Ying Zheng's voice said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I have fed him three times. I just fed him once this morning and I discovered this situation."

Zhao Gao now probably guessed why Ying Zheng issued an order to recruit Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and other alchemists a few days ago.

At this time, in the bird cage in the hall, you can see the originally lively bird standing on the wooden stick with its head and head wilted, no longer as active as the previous few days.

This bird was originally raised by a dedicated person, and apart from adding the Gold Core crumbs, the various steps were not much different from the past.

"Other than that, rats, rabbits, and puppies have no reaction at all."

Then Zhao Gao replied again.

This was Li Si's suggestion. Since Ying Zheng didn't plan to take these Gold Cores, he simply added a few more animals to feed the Gold Cores for reference.

Ying Zheng quickly agreed, taking out a Gold Core every few days and giving it to birds, rats, rabbits, and puppies.

"Okay, continue feeding."

Ying Zheng raised his head and said expressionlessly.

"When will Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and others arrive?"

Then Ying Zheng asked again.

"It should take more than ten days to arrive."

Zhao Gao had already calculated it, and as soon as Ying Zheng asked, he immediately answered.

In previous years, Ying Zheng treated Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and other alchemists extremely favorably, and according to what Xu Fu said, he needed to go to sea to find Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou Fairy Mountain in order to obtain the elixir of immortality. Ying Zheng even had people start preparations. .

But now that something like this happened, Zhao Gao was secretly shocked.

The source of all this seems to be that Ying Zheng visited the mountain east of Pei County once, and after returning, he ordered the test of Gold Core.

"I heard that there was a famous alchemist on that mountain. It must have been the alchemist who said something..."

Zhao Gao secretly speculated in his heart.

"Let's go and visit Li Fangshi again."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing Zhao Gao's words, and then said to Li Si, Meng Tian and others.

Just when Ying Zheng was in a bad mood because the bird began to show signs of sluggishness due to the poison pill.

At this moment, on top of Yinxian Peak, Li Jing and Lu Pheasant were having a very happy conversation.

Lu Pheasant brought the cakes, and the little maid placed them on the table with her hands and feet. Li Jing picked up one and ate it. It tasted sweet and soft, and she couldn't help but praise it.

"Mr. Li, the lady asked the cook for advice and made it several times before it was completed."

Xiao Li was talking lively, asking Li Jing to take credit for her own lady.

"No wonder, Little Sister Lu Pheasant is interested."

Li Jing praised again at the right time.

The little maid suddenly beamed with joy, but Lu Pheasant, who was sitting opposite Li Jing, had a blush on her pretty face. She felt very embarrassed and pinched the leg of the little maid next to her, which immediately made the little maid grin.

After the two women stayed by Li Jing's side for an hour, they reluctantly left.

"Miss, have you noticed that Mr. Li seems to be a little different from before?"

On the way down the mountain, the little maid whispered in Lu Pheasant's ear.

"What's the difference?"

Lu Pheasant also noticed the change, but still asked subconsciously.

"It seems, it seems to have gotten better..."

The little maid's ears turned slightly red and she responded softly.

"Is this why you were staring at Li Dage just now!"

Seeing the shy look of his maid, Lu Zhi couldn't help but pinch her ears hard.

Originally, the little maid had her ears twisted and was about to cry out in pain. When she heard her young lady's words, her face suddenly turned red and she began to hesitate.

Compared with the simple beauty that the little maid said, Lu Zhi saw more. She clearly saw that Li Jing's whole person seemed to be in a perfect state that ordinary people could not imagine.

The figure is slender and straight, the face is like a crown jewel, the skin is crystal clear and delicate, and not even a trace of dark spots or scars can be seen. Sitting there, the whole person has an otherworldly beauty.

She naturally doesn't know that after Li Jing Zixia's Qi Refining method was successful some time ago, her body is evolving towards the perfect state of human beings under the subtle tempering of the mysterious material energy of Zi Qi.

"Dad is right, Li Dage is indeed different from ordinary alchemists, he has real abilities!"

? Lu Pheasant couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

Moreover, Lu Pheasant also discovered something that the little maid didn't notice, that is, staying by Li Jing's side, she obviously felt her breathing became more comfortable and fresh.

At first she thought it was an illusion, but after taking the opportunity to leave Li Jing's side several times, she discovered that these feelings were real and not an illusion.

It made her want to stay by Li Jing's side all the time. If Xiaoli, the maid, hadn't urged her many times for fear of being punished by Duke Lu, Lu Pheasant wouldn't have come down the mountain yet.

Li Jing herself had actually already noticed what Lu Pheasant and Xiao Li discovered.

As the own Zixia Qi Refining method deepens, she is indeed transforming, and because Li Jing is practicing independently all the time, she absorbs the mysterious substances around her.

The concentration of mysterious substances around Li Jing has increased, so staying next to Li Jing can get a little bit of it, which is why Lu Pheasant feels very comfortable.

Even now, birds occasionally discover this phenomenon in the mountains and like to land around Li Jing.

"The eldest lady of the Lu family has left. Brothers are ready. Let's go up and deal with the boy on the mountain now."

Not long after Lu Pheasant's carriage and guards left, a group of people emerged from the jungle. The leader among them looked at Hidden Immortal Peak with a ruthless look and couldn't help but joke.

"Is the eldest lady of the Lu family worthy of a wild boy like him? What kind of alchemist? Damn, a brat who doesn't have all his hair."

There was another slightly thin man who responded to the leader's words.

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and laughed happily.

Then everyone held the blades and started walking towards the mountain.
