Gou became a god or devil after splitting his body

"Finally succeeded. I didn't expect that the last step, the fusion of medicinal properties, would be so difficult."

Li Yan looked at the opened alchemy furnace with bloodshot eyes. Three thumb-sized, light red, round pills were suspended in the air.

This was the result of Li Yan's control through the [Qi and Blood Stone]. His left hand was still tightly holding the handle of the alchemy furnace.

Then he took out a net bag with fine mesh from the side and fished out the three light red pills like catching fish.

"It's not easy. It took me nearly half of the medicinal materials to refine these three pills."

Li Yan said with a sigh, holding a [Qi and Blood Pill] that was still a little hot.

"But the appearance is okay, not a defective product."

Li Yan carefully observed the three [Qi and Blood Pills] that he had made for the first time in his life, and his face showed a trace of satisfaction.

After the pills are refined, different pills have different identification methods for defective, good, and fine products.

The identification method of [Qi Xue Dan] is to check the depth of red on the surface of the pill.

Substandard products have almost no red; good products are light red; and high-quality products are naturally red.

If the efficacy of a good product is one, the substandard product is only 70%, while the high-quality product can be 150%.

As for the price, a good product is five taels of silver, a substandard product is two taels of silver, and a high-quality product is ten taels of silver.

However, since [Qi Xue Dan] is too common, most of the [Qi Xue Dan] on the market are good products, and substandard products will only circulate in villages and towns below the county.

The high-quality ones flow directly to the major forces, and only these major forces will digest the high-quality [Qi Xue Dan].

Ordinary people don't have the money to double the price in exchange for a 50% increase in cultivation progress.

"Put the pill away, take a rest, and continue to refine the pill at night."

Li Yan yawned and put the three [Qi Xue Dan] in his hand into the jade bottle he bought.

These jade bottles are made of [Zhou Baiyu], and the [Zhou Baiyu] veins are everywhere, so [Zhou Baiyu] is not valuable, and these jade bottles that have been processed twice are naturally not worth much.

Li Yan spent fifty taels to buy two hundred such jade bottles. Seeing that he was a big customer, the boss also gave Li Yan ten as a gift.

When he bought these jade bottles, he was thinking about when he could fill these jade bottles with elixirs.

Now it seems that it will take a long time.

After cleaning the alchemy furnace that had just cooled down, Li Yan picked up the alchemy garbage in the trash can and walked up.

When he came to the kitchen, Xiao Zhao was already cooking dinner.

"Yeah," Xiao Zhao smiled and greeted Li Yan after seeing him, and then continued to stir-fry the food in the iron pot.

Li Yan looked out and saw that the pot was full of meat and vegetables. Li Yan took advantage of Xiao Zhao's inattention and picked up a piece of meat with lightning speed and put it into his mouth.

"Deer meat, or the tender meat of a fawn."

After eating more, Li Yan's mouth was obviously much better at eating than in his previous life. He could taste the type and age of meat as soon as he ate.

"Xiao Zhao, where did you get the fawn meat? I didn't see you buy it this morning."

Li Yan asked casually while pouring the alchemy garbage from the trash can into the stove to burn.

"Hey," Xiao Zhao cooked with his right hand and gestured with his left hand.

"I didn't eat it secretly, I just helped you taste the saltiness. Well, it tastes good."

"Yeah," Xiao Zhao smiled happily after hearing Li Yan's answer, and then gestured the source of the venison.

"You said it was sent by the neighbors next door, because you sent them some vegetables, so they sent a piece of fawn meat."

Hearing this answer, Li Yan nodded and didn't say much.

Although he didn't have much contact with the neighbors next door, he had met them several times.

They were a couple. The man made a living by hunting and only went home once every few days.

The woman is a clerk in a jewelry store. She goes out at sunrise and returns home at sunset every day.

The couple seems to get along very harmoniously. When Li Yan meets them, he always sees the woman walking with the man's arm around her.

However, as a warrior in the Blood Refining Realm, Li Yan has good hearing and often hears the voices of different men appearing in his home when the man goes out hunting.

Other people's gossips make Li Yan guess that the woman can't stand the loneliness while her husband is away and steals the man.

However, Li Yan is unwilling to care about such family trivialities.

After eating the man's venison today, Li Yan decided to tell the honest man the truth of the matter.

As for what he will do next, it is not Li Yan's business.

After dinner, Xiao Zhao usually washes the dishes and pots, and has nothing to do, so he will come to Li Yan and take out a novel to read.

But today Li Yan has to continue to make pills, and he ran to his own practice room after dinner.

Disappointed, Xiao Zhao had to go back to her room to rest after finishing her work.

As for the storybooks she liked to read, they were no longer interesting.

What Xiao Zhao didn't see was that not long after she returned to her room, the door of the practice room opened, and the person who walked out was not Li Yan.

Gently closing the door, Li Yan's clone tiptoed, and the whole person, like a roc spreading its wings, crossed the ten-foot-high wall and came to the roof of the neighbor's house.

At this time, the light was still on in the house. Li Yan stretched out his little finger, and the blood and qi gathered on the little finger. He gently poked the tiles on the roof, and a small hole appeared silently.

Li Yan moved his eyes closer and began to observe the situation inside the house.

As long as the man's wife leaves, he will pass the note with something written in his hand through the small hole to the man's eyes.

However, when Li Yan looked down, he did not see the two figures. Instead, he saw two dummies sitting on chairs.

In this way, looking from the outside, you can see the figures of the two people.

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong. They must have a secret."

Li Yan saw the problem at a glance. Ordinary people would use a dummy to pretend that they were still in the house.

However, Li Yan did not act rashly. Instead, he blocked the small hole in the tiles with a weed growing in the gap between the tiles.

After that, he lay motionless on the tiles, barely even breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a mechanism opening reached Li Yan's ears.

"It's really not that simple. It also has a hidden secret passage."

Li Yan thought to himself.

"Shouyong, are you still going to look for it in that place tomorrow? You've almost searched the area and still can't find it. Why don't you find it somewhere else?"

A woman's voice said with a questioning tone.

"Yufeng, let me search for a few more days. I have a hunch that I will definitely find it there."

After being silent for a while, the man said to the woman.

"Okay, then be careful and don't let people from the Jin family discover your traces. My scattered spies told me that people from the Jin family have begun to appear in your area."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. I am just an ordinary hunter now. As long as I don't show any flaws, the Jin family will not lower their status to embarrass a humble person like me."

"On the contrary, the Jin family is also looking in my direction. Doesn't this mean that the direction I am looking for is correct? Maybe I just didn't look carefully enough before."

The man's voice became a little excited when he said this.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

The woman's tone was helpless.

"By the way, I recently heard rumors from people around me that you stole people while I was away. Do you think I don't know?"

"You are obviously just meeting the spy."

"It's really hard for you. For the sake of the family's mission, you are being chewed by these people and your reputation is ruined."

The man said with some distress.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you find that place, our mission will be completed. When we return to the family, we will be people from two different worlds. Their rumors will not have any impact on me."

"On the contrary, their rumors at this time put a layer of disguise on my behavior of meeting the informant, reducing the risk of exposure."

There was an indifferent attitude in the woman's voice.

"Well, since you don't care, then it's okay."

"However, before I leave, I want to kill a few of the ones with the longest tongues. What do you think?"

The man asked the woman in a harsh tone.

"Whatever, just kill a few ordinary people. Keep it hidden and don't make people suspicious of us."

"Don't worry about me doing my job."

After that, the two stopped talking and began to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

"Family? Are you on a mission? Looking for something? Are the Jin family looking for it too?"

"I want to see what you are looking for?"

Li Yan thought to himself.

Afterwards, he left the roof, returned to his training room, and rummaged through his things.

After finding the thing, he went to the roof next door again, poured the lit drug into the crack of the previous hole.

Li Yan pressed against the tiles and listened carefully to the breathing of the two people.

After his breathing became long and steady, Li Yan got off the roof, came to the back door, unlocked the door, and walked in without hesitation.

After Li Yan came to this world, he specially learned lockpicking skills from professionals in order to be prepared.

Seeing the two people sleeping on the bed, Li Yan was still a little worried, so he stepped forward to check their condition carefully.

He was sleeping soundly, not pretending to be asleep.

At this time, Li Yan felt relieved and began to carefully rummage through the boxes.

Soon, he found the switch to the secret room.

Li Yan opened the secret room and walked in. It was an underground secret room built downwards.

In the secret room, Li Yan saw many maps, including Linjiang City and topographic maps around Linjiang City.

Some maps also have big red crosses drawn on them, which are obviously abandoned places.

Then, there is a bookcase. There are books on the bookcase with names of people written on them.

Li Yan opened the book and took a look and knew that these names were the woman's spies, and the booklet should be the information provided by those spies.

Then, Li Yan saw another wooden box, which was locked.

The lock was very simple. Li Yan used a needle to pry it open. Inside were banknotes and a ledger.

"This seems to be their activity funds."

After reading the account books, Li Yan came to this conclusion.

"The funds are quite sufficient."

Even though part of it was used, there were still more than 5,000 taels of silver notes in the wooden box.

However, Li Yan still resisted the desire to reach out and put the things back to their original positions intact.

Now is not a good time to take action.

After that, Li Yan found nothing else here.

Regarding the news about the family and that thing that the two people mentioned, there is no information here, which makes the two people very cautious.

After that, Li Yan left their house and returned to his basement.

"Pay special attention to these two people in the future, and then I will start moving."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Since he knew there was danger nearby, he naturally could not wait foolishly for the danger to come, but avoided the possible danger as quickly as possible.

"Bang", because of a moment of distraction, the alchemy failed again this time.

"Try again."

Li Yan would not go to bed until he finished refining the remaining medicinal materials today.

And the reason why he worked so hard was to make the clone of Guiyuan Sect into an alchemy genius, in order to get Xia Lingshuang's attention and Guiyuan Sect's strong cultivation.

He had already learned from Hu Meirou that the spiritual medicines of Guiyuan Sect were all kept by Xia Lingshuang.
