Chapter 474: Cen Mu's injury, Li Zhi's departure
Chapter 474: Cen Mu's injury, Li Zhi's departure
Li Zhi's purpose of refining the elixir this time was not to make a pill with any special effects, but simply to purify the energy of the infant soul flower and divide it into five equal parts.
Therefore, the entire operation process was not too difficult for him.
After Li Zhi worked attentively for two hours, five round and plump pills emitting a soft glow were refined in the furnace.
Li Zhi put away the pills, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the alchemy room, he saw the disciple named Huang Lin still standing outside the room.
As soon as Huang Lin saw Li Zhi coming out, he immediately smiled and went forward to greet him respectfully, calling out, "Brother Li!"
Li Zhi smiled back and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Huang Lin. The elixir I need has been refined."
Huang Lin quickly waved his hands, with a somewhat ingratiating look on his face, and said, "Senior Brother Li, you are too polite. You are the savior of our Senior Brother Cen. Senior Brother Cen and Senior Brother Shao have both specifically instructed us to take good care of you. As long as you have any needs, we will do our best to meet them."
When Li Zhi heard this, he understood that Huang Lin's words had a hidden meaning. He was hinting that he should say a few good words for him in front of Cen Mu and Shao Qi.
Li Zhi found it funny in his heart, but he still smiled brightly. He said, "I see. Don't worry. When I see them later, I will definitely thank them for their care."
Huang Lin felt anxious after hearing this. He was not sure whether Li Zhi really understood what he meant, but he did not want to point it out directly. He was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Li Zhi stopped teasing him, reached out and gently patted Huang Lin on the shoulder, and said seriously: "However, you helped me a lot this time. I will definitely speak well of you in front of Senior Brother Cen and Senior Brother Shao."
Huang Lin then smiled happily and quickly bowed to Li Zhi, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"
Li Zhi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so, and then turned around and went back to his room.
Pushing open the door, Li Zhi saw five little ghosts in the room, each still holding the spiritual herbs he had given them before.
Because Li Zhi didn't let them eat it, the five little devils were drooling with greed, staring at the spiritual herbs eagerly, but none of them dared to speak.
Until they saw Li Zhi coming back, a look of grievance suddenly emerged in the five pairs of smart eyes, and they looked straight at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Look at my memory. Come on, eat, eat..."
When the five little ghosts heard Li Zhi's instructions, they cheered excitedly and immediately started eating with big mouthfuls, enjoying the food very much.
In a short while, all the spiritual herbs were eaten up.
Li Zhi then took out the five pills he had just refined and handed them to the five little ghosts.
The little ghosts took the pills, their eyes flashing with surprise, and swallowed the pills without saying a word.
After the five little ghosts devoured the spiritual herbs and pills in no time, Li Zhi took them back and let them digest them well to improve their own strength.
After arranging the little ghosts, Li Zhi walked out of the room and went to where Shao Qi was.
Seeing Shao Qi, Li Zhi asked, "Brother Shao Qi, how is Brother Cen's injury?"
Shao Qi responded, "I was planning to go see Senior Brother Cen. How about joining us?"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them came to a specially decorated room together.
Cen Mu was seen completely immersed in a large vat of green liquid, with only his head exposed.
His eyes, which were originally closed, slowly opened when he heard the sound of someone coming in.
When he saw that the people coming were Li Zhi and Shao Qi, a smile appeared on Cen Mu's pale face. He looked at Li Zhi and said, "Brother Li, are you used to living here?"
Li Zhi smiled and replied, "It's a very nice stay. Thank you, Brother Cen, for your concern."
Shao Qi interrupted and said, "It's good that you live well. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that Senior Brother Cen will blame me for not taking good care of you."
Upon hearing this, Cen Mu pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't treat Brother Li well, I will not forgive you."
Li Zhi quickly waved his hands and explained, "Brother Cen, please don't misunderstand Brother Shao Qi. Brother Shao Qi spent a lot of money to help me today."
Cen Mu curled his lips and said, "This kid has a rich family background, so this amount of money is nothing to him."
The three of them chatted and joked with each other.
Afterwards, Li Zhi asked about Cen Mu's injuries.
Hearing Li Zhi's question, Cen Mu's face darkened slightly, and with a hint of helplessness in his tone, he said: "The other injuries are gradually recovering, but this right hand..."
Although people who practice cultivation are different from ordinary people in some aspects, they are essentially not much different from ordinary people. The main difference lies in the Qi in their bodies.
In terms of the body, even if you practice spells to enhance your physique, it will only make your body stronger.
As for the miraculous things like the regeneration of severed limbs that Li Zhi had seen in fantasy novels before, it was not so easy to achieve here. At least, Li Zhi had not seen anyone who could do it yet.
However, although it is impossible to regenerate a severed limb, it is still possible to attach a prosthetic arm.
Li Zhi recalled the files he had read in the Yeyou Division, which recorded that there was a colleague in the Yeyou Division who had a magical arm attached to his body after losing one arm.
However, Li Zhi was not sure whether doing so would have any side effects.
So, Li Zhi truthfully told Cen Mu, "I've heard that it's possible to regenerate a lost limb by grafting another arm onto it. However, there may be some side effects I'm not aware of. Brother Cen, please keep an eye out for news on this topic in the future."
After hearing this, Cen Mu's face suddenly showed joy, and he said, "Okay! Thank you, Brother Li, for telling me."
He has always been obsessed with the drug slave incident and has been thinking about revenge. If his arm cannot be restored, he will be like a useless person and there is no way to talk about revenge.
This news from Li Zhi undoubtedly gave him new hope.
Li Zhi saw Cen Mu's face turn from gloomy to bright, and roughly guessed what he was thinking. But as an outsider in this matter, he really didn't know how to persuade him.
So, Li Zhi didn't say anything more, just said: "Since Brother Cen is fine, I am relieved. It's time for me to leave."
When they heard Li Zhi say he was leaving, Cen Mu and Shao Qi were both stunned. Then, they quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
However, Li Zhi wanted to rush back to Yongguo as soon as possible. He was always wary of the Xiao family, fearing that the Xiao family would find out that he had practiced the Five Internal Organs Meridian. If that happened, he would be in big trouble.
Therefore, Li Zhi firmly refused their request to stay.
Seeing that Li Zhi was determined to leave, Cen Mu and Shao Qi could only say with regret, "In that case, we wish Brother Li a safe journey. If you have free time in the future, please come visit our Medicine King Valley."
Li Zhi smiled and bowed, saying, "Of course, of course..."
As he spoke, Li Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Cen Mu and said, "Brother Cen is seriously injured now. It would be best if he had a smart disciple to serve him. I think Huang Lin is quite good. He is smart and considerate. Brother Cen might consider him."
Cen Mu was slightly stunned, then he understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Li Zhi smiled, bowed to them again and said goodbye, then turned around and strode out of the Medicine King Pavilion.
