Ning Qi successfully bid on an Immortal Sword, proving his immense wealth to the auction house. Meanwhile, a scorned woman named Qian Qian and her companion, Xu Feng, plotted revenge. Disguising themselves as attendants after incapacitating and using a Gu worm on a real attendant, they infiltrated Ning Qi's private room, delivering poisoned pastries. Unaware, Ning Qi and his companions enjoyed the treat before leaving the auction. Qian Qian and Xu Feng followed them back to their inn, preparing to continue their scheme.

"Gentlemen, is there anything you need help with?"

The attendant listened to the two of them and asked curiously.

"Did a man and a woman just come in? Which room did they go to?"

Qian Qian said and took out a few top-grade Spirit Stones, handing them to the attendant.

"Gentlemen, this..."

The attendant looked at the Spirit Stones handed to him and couldn’t help but hesitate.

He pretended to be in a difficult position.

"Just go ahead, you won’t miss out on the benefits."

Xu Feng came forward and gave the attendant a look.

"Gentlemen, this way."

The attendant looked around and then took them to a less crowded place.

He pointed to the room where Ning Qi and Li Xiangrou had entered, whispering something.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi and the two had already returned to their Sumeru Courtyard.

"Ning Qi, when you came back earlier, did you notice anything?"

"Why are those guards searching everywhere for people?"

Li Xiangrou asked curiously.

"Didn’t someone say their Young City Lord was killed?"

"They must be searching for the killer, right?"

Ning Qi had already noticed this matter on his way back.

However, he’s done it so seamlessly.

There’s no need to worry about being discovered.

Hence, he remained unperturbed.

"Master, we’ve already destroyed the body and evidence."

"They should not be able to find us!"

The Medicine Spirit thought of something and spoke to Ning Qi.

"Not necessarily."

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "The person we killed, the contacts he had were definitely limited."

"They’ll search all the guests he contacted, eventually coming back to us."

"Ah? I overlooked that."

"What do we do then? It could be troublesome if they point fingers at us!"

The Medicine Spirit became worried after hearing Ning Qi’s analysis.

"It’s fine. By then, we’ll have already left!"

"Even if they find us, they have no evidence."

"If they force us, I won’t be polite."

Ning Qi snorted coldly, showing a look of disdain: "I want to see who among them can handle me."

"Master, I’m worried it might bring trouble to Miss Xu!"

The Medicine Spirit thought about it and said worriedly.

"No worries!"

"I’ll figure something out!"

Ning Qi thought seriously and suddenly said, "Perhaps, our copper mirror can provide answers."

"Ning Qi!"

"It’s getting late, I’ll go to sleep first!"

Li Xiangrou walked over and said to Ning Qi.

"Wait!"

Ning Qi suddenly stopped her and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

Li Xiangrou asked when she heard him call her.

"Can you refine the Immortal Herb?"

"Let me help you! Let’s refine the Immortal Herb!"

"Later, you can slowly refine its Spiritual Qi to nourish your body."

Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Come on, I can refine it quickly, it’ll take about half a two-hour period."

"It won’t delay anything."

"Alright..."

Li Xiangrou thought for a moment and agreed.

If it can indeed be refined, it would be a good thing.

At least when she returns more powerful, she can intimidate others.

Not to the point of being assassinated.

"Let’s go!"

Ning Qi waved at her and then rushed into one of the rooms.

Li Xiangrou followed him in.

After they went in, Ning Qi pointed to a spot on the bed: "Come, sit cross-legged!"

"Alright!"

Li Xiangrou nodded and returned to the bed.

Sitting cross-legged as Ning Qi instructed.

The whole person seemed rather tense.

"Relax, there’s no issue with this."

"With my guidance in refining, there won’t be a problem of losing control, nor resistance!"

Ning Qi also sat cross-legged, behind her, and said: "Take out the Immortal Herb."

"Okay."

Li Xiangrou agreed and directly took out the Immortal Herb from the Storage Bag.

"Huff!"

Ning Qi just made a gesture and drew it over.

Then he began to operate immortal power, slowly refining the Immortal Herb.

At first, the abundant Life Power within the Immortal Herb resisted.

However, under the strength of Ning Qi as a Heavenly Immortal, it was utterly defenseless.

With just a few breaths, he conquered it.

If it were Li Xiangrou herself, it would probably require some effort.

"It’s starting!"

Ning Qi reminded her and began operating immortal power, channeling the massive Life Aura into her body.

In no time, streams of green Life Aura transformed into giant pythons.

They started pouring down into her crown.

"Huff!"

Li Xiangrou trembled as the overwhelming Life Power infused her.

This influx of Life Power washed and filled her meridians and blood.

The blood vessels that used to be like a stream began to enlarge.

Eventually forming like rivers.

The blood within followed, surging.

Waves of Qi surged with it, causing her entire body to emit waves of heat.

As if cooked.

"Huff!"

Li Xiangrou’s whole body was flushed now.

The moist skin started to gather mist resembling water droplets.

With each gathering, crystal-clear green liquid began to cluster.

These are signs of Life Power from the Immortal Herb spilling out.

This indicates her physique has been filled with the essence of the Immortal Herb.

"Start refining, follow my immortal power guide, channel it into your Dantian!"

After Ning Qi reminded, he began channeling his immortal power towards Li Xiangrou’s Dantian.
