The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Chapter 5 Rare warmth

"Uncle Zhong?"

"Where's grandpa? Is he in there?" Jing Yueli asked when she saw Uncle Zhong was in a daze.

"Hey! Yes, yes." Uncle Zhong immediately turned around and walked back, shouting as he walked.

"Master, the young lady is here." Prime Minister Jing in the room raised his head.

What kind of person is Prime Minister Jing? Xuanyue Continent is a cultivation continent. Although Master Jing is the Prime Minister, he is not like the elegant scholar or the head of the ancient officials that we saw on TV before. Master Jing is more like a general. A Jindan cultivator is different after all.

Otherwise, the position of prime minister would not be in the Jing family's hands. In the imperial capital, apart from Emperor Xuanyuan and the God of War Leng family, only Grandpa Jing and Jing Yueli's maternal grandfather Wen family were at the Jindan level. Elders would not show up unless it was a major event. They were all trump cards of the major families, and any one of them would be a big loss if something happened.

"Li'er, you..." The old man almost stuttered when he saw Jing Yueli in front of him.

"Grandpa, Li'er is fine." Jing Yueli came to Grandpa Jing and whispered in his ear.

"Really? ...Really?" The old man still couldn't believe it and kept staring at Jing Yueli and asked.

"Yes, grandpa..." Jing Yueli whispered to the old man everything that happened yesterday. Of course, the things about the space were not revealed. She only said that she encountered an opportunity.

She didn't mention Jing Yueshan's matter. He didn't want to trouble his grandfather with such a small matter. He wouldn't bother the old man with anything he could handle himself.

"Good, good, good." The old man said three good words in a row. He had finally gotten what he had been waiting for.

"Then Lier, remember who harmed you. Grandpa will avenge you and will never let him go." The old man said with red eyes.

"The people who surrounded me were all masked, so I didn't know who they were. But one of them mentioned that if anyone was to blame, it was me for blocking other people's way," Jing Yueli recalled.

"How can a little kid stand in the way of anyone? What do you know? You don't reflect on yourselves, but put the blame on others! Humph! It's none of those people!" The old man clenched his fists.

"Grandpa, now I don't blame them, otherwise I wouldn't have grown up to this point! Before, I didn't know what it meant to be low-key. Now, after these two years of amnesia and serious injuries, I have seen some people clearly, and they are not good!"

"You kid, you're praising yourself!" the old man scolded.

"Grandpa, I am now like a reborn from a cocoon. The lessons I learned before taught me to hide my edge and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"Hehe...isn't it better!" Jing Yueli looked back at her grandfather, and they both understood what he meant!

"Okay! Just stick to what you think is right. Grandpa will always support you behind the scenes."

"Thank you, Grandpa, you're the best!" Jing Yueli put her head on the old man's shoulder and said softly.

“Haha...hahahaha....” the old man laughed out loud. Jing Yueli was ruined by her grandfather’s laugh and her little face turned red.

"Girl, now that you are able to practice, just practice well at home. Don't worry about the rest. I will ask Uncle Zhong to take you to get the resources at home later. Don't save them for Grandpa."

The old man now had time to carefully observe his girl's cultivation. He didn't know until he saw it that he was shocked.

"Girl, what are you doing..."

"Hehe, grandpa, your granddaughter is so awesome. Now those people can't reach me." Jing Yueli puffed out her chest proudly.

"You kid, you are really...good, good, good! My Jing Qingyu's granddaughter is different!"

"Let's see if those old guys dare to show off in front of me, hum!" The old man's beard stood up from his snort.

In the past two years, the old man has been treated badly by others outside, but he always just laughed it off and ignored it.

In fact, he felt worse than anyone else. How could he not be sad when outsiders said that about his precious granddaughter? Yet he had to appear calm on the surface.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry!" Seeing her grandfather like this, Jing Yueli's eyes misted over.

The old man was really good to the original owner, just like his deceased grandfather in modern times, it was as if his grandfather had come back all of a sudden.

Blink, blink again, to force back the tears.

"Silly child! It's not your fault!" The old man's eyes also turned red.

After breakfast, Jing Yueli returned to his room, changed into a gentleman's outfit, and climbed over the wall of his yard.

The streets of the Imperial Capital were still the same as before, with all kinds of hawking and people coming and going, everything was still the same, but Jing Yueli was no longer the same person.

Jing Yueli came to the herbal medicine shop with the most complete varieties in the imperial city.

As soon as the servant saw the young master coming towards them, he hurriedly invited him into the store.

"Sir, what do you need? We have it in our shop..." The servant greeted Jing Yueli very professionally and introduced a lot of things to her.

"Uh. Then give it to me..." Jing Yueli did not disappoint the servant. She reported a long list of medicinal materials for refining low-level pills mixed with some other medicinal materials to the servant, and then packed them all up. The servant smiled and sent her out of the shop.

Afterwards, Jing Yueli went to another shop and bought a bunch of jade bottles of different sizes to store pills in the future. The space was full of pill jars, which were too big, and she didn't dare to use those pills. Regardless of whether the pills were real or not, at least now she wanted to try to refine them herself.

Jing Yueli practiced ancient martial arts in modern times and also dabbled in medicine. These medicinal herbs were very familiar to her. After entering the space last night, she flipped through the alchemy books. The difference from modern times was that the medicinal herbs here were all spiritual herbs. She had a photographic memory, so it was easier for her to remember them. Moreover,

"hey-hey...."

After repeated attempts last night, I found that the speed in space is different from that outside, and I can move as I wish, but there is a limit. The current maximum speed is one day outside and ten days in space.

Jing Yueli counted the things she wanted to buy, climbed over the wall again, and returned to her own Jing Mansion. She returned to her room, closed the door, and asked Ling'er to watch outside the door, not allowing anyone to disturb her.

She wanted to go into the space and study it carefully. Alchemy was not as easy as imagined, otherwise there would not be so few alchemists in Xuanyue Continent.

Only cultivators who possess both wood and fire spiritual roots can become alchemists. Cultivators on the mainland generally have single spiritual roots, and those with dual spiritual roots are rare and precious, not to mention possessing both fire and wood spiritual roots which only alchemists can possess. Therefore, alchemists are the objects of competition and guests of honor among the major families and sects on the mainland.

Alchemists in Xuanyue Continent are divided into levels one to nine, and above that are god-level alchemists.

A thousand years ago, a god-level alchemist did appear in Xuanyue Continent, but for some unknown reason, he never appeared again.
