Chapter 73 On the Behavior of Leeks
The Blue Flame Phantom Spirit left a trace of power in Su Xiaomei's body, helping her suppress the anger in her body.
Then it returned to Li Fan's sea of consciousness.
In just such a short time, Li Fan already felt exhausted.
The "Nether Spirit Phantom Art" has not yet been cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the newly born Phantom Spirit is still a little weak.
And he had to concentrate and carefully control the intensity of the Phantom Spirit's output, so as not to cause damage to Su Xiaomei's young body.
It was not an easy task for Li Fan.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
This time, she can be safe and sound for ten years.
If Li Fan can escape from Yunshui Heavenly Palace in this life and obtain the "Yunshui Tulu", he will come to her in advance.
If Li Fan encounters an accident, she can also go to the world of cultivation with Su Changyu and others ten years later.
After recovering his spirit, Li Fan walked out of the basement.
The dignitaries of Dali were still waiting outside.
After telling them that Su Xiaomei had been cured, Li Fan asked them to disperse.
Only Su Xueshi stayed and asked about Su Xiaomei's situation.
Su Xueshi blushed, hesitated for a long time, and then hesitantly told the whole story.
It turned out that Su Xiaomei was not Su Xueshi's daughter, but Su Xueshi's sister, Su Yuqing's daughter.
Su Yuqing was much younger than Su Xueshi. When she got pregnant with Su Xiaomei last year, she was only sixteen years old.
At that time, her inexplicable pregnancy caused an uproar in the Su Mansion.
Because she was not married at all!
Getting pregnant before marriage is already an absolute scandal. What made Master Su even more angry was that Su Yuqing refused to tell who the father of the child was.
She insisted that she had never done anything unfaithful to her husband. She just felt tired when she was playing in the garden one day, so she took a nap.
Soon after waking up, she noticed something wrong with her body.
But how could she, a girl waiting to be married, have the nerve to mention such a thing to others?
It was not until her belly grew bigger that she could no longer conceal it.
The Su family certainly did not believe this absurd explanation.
The angry Master Su wanted to abort the child.
But feeling the heartbeat of the fetus in her belly, Su Yuqing showed her strength as a mother.
She refused to abort the fetus no matter what, and even threatened to kill her.
Although Master Su was furious, he did not really kill his own daughter.
He could only lock Su Yuqing in the room and not let her go out to avoid the news leaking out.
In this way, she finally waited until the day of delivery.
It took a lot of effort to give birth to Su Xiaomei.
Su Yuqing was weak and had not been well taken care of since she was pregnant.
After such a toss, her body could not withstand it.
So a few days after giving birth to Su Xiaomei, she died with regret.
Before she died, she begged the Su family to take good care of Su Xiaomei.
The Su family was not ruthless.
After Su Yuqing died, the whole family loved this little girl who lost her parents at a young age and hoped that she would grow up safely and happily.
Who would have thought that not long after Su Xiaomei was born, she would suffer from a strange disease.
Her whole body was hot, and she even had to use ice compresses all the time to relieve the fever.
The Su family invited famous doctors in Beijing, but none of them could cure her.
Until Li Fan arrived.
…
After listening to Su Xueshi's story, Li Fan looked up at the sky of this world, thinking.
"Born with destiny, maybe this can explain why Su Xiaomei is so talented."
"However, according to the original historical trajectory, even if she had natural talent, she could not escape death in the face of disaster."
"In the entire world of immortal cultivation, how many people are as talented as Su Xiaomei, but die in obscurity like ordinary people."
"From this point of view, the way of heaven really treats everyone equally."
After finishing the matter here, Li Fan sighed, summoned Taiyanzhou, and left quickly.
It didn't take long to return to Liuli Island safely.
As He Zhenghao said before, it took about 25 days.
And until this time, the hidden talisman he activated before was still working.
"As long as you don't fight with others, a hidden talisman can last so long. It's really cheap and good. When I return to the island later, maybe I can buy some for backup." Li Fan thought to himself.
In the Mountain and Stars Array, Li Fan handed the storage ring to He Zhenghao.
He Zhenghao was a little absent-minded, and just glanced at it casually before putting it away.
His attention was focused on a piece of ancient mirror in front of him.
It looked similar to the Tianxuan Realm.
Li Fan followed He Zhenghao's gaze and saw a line of small words on the mirror.
"Spiritual Mist Grass: Current price is 15 contribution points per plant."
The number 15 was constantly changing, sometimes becoming 16, and then quickly becoming 14.
"Increase, you increase it!" He Zhenghao stared at the mirror, as if possessed, and kept repeating it in his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist He, what are you doing?" Li Fan asked curiously.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, you don't know." He Zhenghao didn't move his eyes away, sighed, and said sullenly.
"A few days ago, not long after you left, I received reliable news. The island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted was attacked by a sea beast, and most of the Spirit Mist Grass on the island was destroyed."
"I told you before that Lingwu grass is the main raw material for making hidden talismans, and it is extremely rare. Now that so much has been destroyed, the price must be skyrocketing."
"At that time, the news had not spread yet, and I wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune. So I spent a lot of money in Tianxuan Realm and stocked up a large number of Lingwu grass..."
This operation sounded familiar. Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao and was puzzled: "Isn't that a good thing? Why does Daoyou look so depressed?"
"Well, it's a good thing, but I'm happy too early." He Zhenghao sighed without taking his eyes off the mirror.
"At the beginning, the price of Lingwu grass did increase a bit, from 20 points per plant to 25 points per plant. But who would have thought that before I had time to sell the Lingwu grass in my hand, its price suddenly plummeted."
"It plummeted from 25 points to 13 points, almost halved!" He Zhenghao was heartbroken.
"Fortunately, the price has rebounded recently and has risen to around 15 points."
...
Listening to what He Zhenghao said, Li Fan couldn't help but say: "Then why don't you take this opportunity to sell all the Lingwu grass in your hands? At least you can get some money back."
He Zhenghao shook his head hurriedly: "That won't work. I have invested nearly a hundred years of savings in it. At least I have to wait until it rises again before I sell it..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly exclaimed: "Why is it falling again? Thirteen? Twelve? Ten? Eight?..."
"Still falling?!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of Lingwu grass fell from fifteen points per plant to six points per plant like an avalanche, and then it stabilized with difficulty.
"It should... go back up, right?"
After a long silence, looking at the distraught and confused He Zhenghao, Li Fan had to comfort him like this.
