The young man nodded calmly, took the pill given by Li Rui, and swallowed it directly.
"Aren't you afraid it might be poisonous?" Mo Ruxi teased.
"If it were like that, you wouldn't have stood up for me just now. I can tell you are good people."
Mo Ruxi was stunned; she really didn't expect this kind of operation!
Little did they know, in the blink of an eye, the young man already felt much better.
"Alright, next I will heal your injuries. I don't know how successful it will be, but you need to hold on," Li Rui said repeatedly, unsure if he could manage it himself!
He remembered when he was poisoned by a type of Fire Poison; its effects seemed much stronger than this thing. His grandfather had done the same thing, so it should be based on the same principle.
"Everything has its counter. Ice counters fire, and perhaps no one knows how painful this dual sensation can be; only those who have endured it are already dead." He recalled a saying from that time.
Li Rui felt quite lucky to still be alive! This time, the effect shouldn't be that bad, right?
"Are you really going in like that?"
"What else can I do?"
"Well..."
"I get it. What is a big man afraid of?" Mo Ruxi said repeatedly, her brow slightly furrowed, though the blush on her face couldn't hide her embarrassment.
Li Rui gathered the true energy within his body and directly infused it into the young man's body. It seemed the effect wasn't as good as he had imagined, or perhaps he was just too weak!
Then Li Rui tried to convert the true energy into spiritual energy. Suddenly, the man let out a scream! It seemed he had never endured such pain before; even watching him made Li Rui feel a pang of sympathy.
"Can you endure it?"
"I'm fine, I can manage!" The young man forced a smile, unaware that his lips were already cracked and stained with blood.
"You have time! Take a moment to feel it! No one can help you now! If you get through this, you'll win," Li Rui said repeatedly, his words revealing a hint of concern. He wasn't sure if the young man could hold on; that kind of feeling was truly unbearable.
Then Li Rui crossed his legs and sat down, entering a meditative state. This way, he could practice a bit and also see if anything unexpected would happen with the young man. The current variables were somewhat...
More than half the time had already passed, and beads of sweat on the young man's face poured down like a heavy rain. Perhaps he didn't even realize that his sweat was dark red, and the scar on his body had already begun to fade! It was just a little more to go.
"Ah!" A scream escaped the young man's mouth. Li Rui knew that if he forced him awake now, it would result in backlash, and that kind of backlash would be unprecedented.
The only thing he could do was wait for good news!
The fluctuations on the young man's face grew stronger, and Li Rui couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. It seemed there was hope; this guy was about to succeed. Now it was probably just a matter of timing!
As a puff of white vapor escaped, the young man slowly opened his eyes.
"Thank you."
Li Rui smiled awkwardly and waved his hand repeatedly; saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda!
"You guys are done? I've been waiting outside for ages! It's so boring."
Hearing this, Li Rui couldn't help but smile awkwardly. There was no choice; he needed to see what was going on inside. With such a "great deity" present, there was no need to fear any issues arising.
"Big brother, please allow me to pay my respects!"
Li Rui continuously helped Dingxiang up, saying, "Thank you, but let's skip the formalities! It might even shorten my lifespan."
"I don't have anything valuable at home, and I don't know what I should give you as thanks! How about that one alchemy furnace? My grandfather took great care of it. Little did they know, he has been away from home for decades now. Sigh! He didn't even return the year my father passed away. It's useless just sitting there, so you can take it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui couldn't help but feel delighted; he never expected such an opportunity.
"Then I will gladly accept! By the way, could you get me a few pounds of scrap iron? I have some use for it."
Dingxiang was completely puzzled and wondered what Li Rui wanted the iron for. No one used such things in everyday life.
Li Rui, however, smiled calmly. He hadn't had the chance to use the "forging" technique someone had taught him last time! It was time to start his performance.
Alchemy and forging are different; while alchemists are rare, blacksmiths are even more scarce! One could hardly find a blacksmith among ten thousand people, which shows how demanding forging is. Moreover, the weapons produced are not your typical "shoddy goods."
Even if one could forge, without any inheritance or knowledge, what they produced would be nothing more than inferior products! It would be hardly worth mentioning.
Just like the Water Fire Staff in Li Rui's hand; it was something he could easily create. Perhaps only a fool would believe that!
"What do you need those things for? They seem useless. Could it be that you can forge weapons? That would really be laughable," Mo Ruxi said repeatedly, her tone laced with sarcasm, clearly not believing in such things.
Li Rui couldn't help but smile awkwardly; he almost revealed his capabilities to her.
Then Li Rui picked up the scrap iron and felt like he was missing something according to the forging method.
"Come on! Don't act like you understand when you don't."
Li Rui felt particularly frustrated; being mocked like this wasn't new to him, but he felt a sense of powerlessness.
"To refine the device, you need to find a piece of Spirit Stone, right? This is it, but I can't give it to you. It's not that I don't want to, but the entire piece of land is made of it."
This...
Li Rui looked at the ground he was standing on and indeed felt something.
"Could it be that the entire floor of Falling Blossom Kingdom is made of Spirit Stone?"
Dingxiang nodded, but Li Rui could only smile wryly. He didn't expect such a grand scale, and perhaps he could start working right away.
"Don't disturb me; I need to think quietly by myself."
"Okay, we won't disturb you. But when you're done, we want to see your work."
Li Rui's mind was racing with a thousand thoughts. How could he endure such humiliation? And what could he do about it? He felt extremely frustrated.
As the surroundings began to quiet down, Li Rui started to circulate the True Qi within his body, stabilizing himself in the best state possible. He didn't even know what he was pondering while sitting there.
