Chapter 391 [Bonus ]Selling The White Baobab Kingdom
Within seconds every tear within her meridians and other injuries she had suffered because of the Yin Yang imbalance were immediately restored to full vitality, and she could even feel they had been strengthened.
Along with the deep sense of relief, she also felt something being gently pulled together from all over her body into a small ball. Moments later that ball compacted and released a dense energy that flooded back into her body.
Li Shu was shocked to discover the doors to the seventh stage of the core formation realm were quaking. She hurriedly sat down and focused all her concentration in breaking through. However, the arduous process she expected to happen, didn\'t. The breakthrough to the seventh realm was as easy as popping a bubble. She barely just sat down and the barrier broke.
The dense spiritual qi in the courtroom flooded toward her after her breakthrough. Li Shu pushed the shock of the speedy smooth breakthrough to the back of her mind as she refocused on solidifying her cultivation base.
The dense extremely rich spiritual qi would help her establish a firmer base than if she had used the spiritual qi in her abode at the Shao family. She was not going to let the chance slip by. The firmer her foundations are, the shorter the time she will need to reach the eighth base of the core formation realm.
Things had taken a crazy turn for her. She came in thinking she had pill poisoning and all she could hope for from the court was to get her medical expenses paid for, then she ended up not having pill poisoning but instead something she had never heard of in the name of Yin-Yang imbalance, and when she thought she was deep in the abyss, she was given alms. Her situation was not only resolved but she had achieved the smoothest breakthrough she has ever had in her whole.
If someone told her that her day would end up this way, she would scoff it off and say the odds of her turning into a basil duck were higher.
As the rest were waiting for her to complete stabilizing her realm, Luo Fan took the time to butter Yang Qing. Yang Qing like the discerning person he was knew exactly what he was after.
You want my spring of resplendence you damn leech..mmph, time to recoup my losses and then some.
True to form, Yang Qing fleeced him for everything he could take. He was just short of taking his robes. Luo Fan\'s look had turned from the refined handsome-looking scholar, to a scholar that had been run down by life, and ended up being a beggar at the street with one loosely hanging tooth.
The only thing that brought life to him was the vial that contained four drops of the drop Yang Qing had used on Li Shu. Yang Qing felt it was an otherwise good day with his smug smile and puffed-up chest.
He had erased the karma on the droplets using the medallion and the artifacts in the courtroom before he sold it out. After what he had done to Luo Fan, one can\'t be too careful.
"Little Qing, you have grown.." Alchemist Ma Bo said with a look of pride and gratification.
"It\'s because of your care, Grandpa Bo.." Yang Qing said as he gave a deep bow that he would give his own grandfather because to him Ma Bo was no different than one.
They went to to catch up as they exchanged a few words, with Ma Bo still trying to poach him for the Academy and Yang Qing using the same old spiel and deflecting by using some of the strange occurrences he had seen especially the one from Summerfield kingdom.
After ten minutes, Li Shu was finished with stabilizing her cultivation base.
"Thank you for saving my life Judge Yang Qing, I don\'t know how I could ever repay you for this!" Li Shu said in an agitated state as she performed a hastened bow that she almost tipped over.
"It\'s okay daoist Li Shu. Solving your issue wasn\'t that much of a big deal for me. I acted because it just so happens to fall in my area of expertise that\'s all.." Yang Qing casually.
"Miss Li Shu, I\'m truly sorry for what happened to you.." Bai Zou said as he cupped his fists. He had a guilted expression on his face.
"I\'m sorry too," Liang Tian lowly said as he bowed.
He seemed to have been the one of the three to have taken it hardest.
"No, no, it\'s I who should apologize.." Li Shu said in a fluster.
"I maligned your restaurant. I\'m truly sorry. I\'m willing to do anything to make up for it.."
The two went back and forth to make up for each other.
"Have you two ever heard of White Baobab kingdom?" Yang Qing asked as form of breaking their never-ending impasse of trying to out guilt each other.
"I have." They both answered.
Bai Zou was rather casual about it, but Li Shu couldn\'t hide how highly she thought of the place. Her eyes glittered during her response.
"Well, I don\'t think I need to add much. Miss Li Shu if you want to go there, you can just use my name and the people there should help you settle.."
"Senior Bai Zou, I think it may do you some good to visit the place. There are over a dozen chefs there who use yin salts on yang-rich dishes and they blend them seamlessly together..you might get some insights from them.
The incident today isn\'t necessarily a bad thing if done right.." said Yang Qing.
The duo nodded as they offered their thanks. Yang Qing shared a few words and called a close to the case, dismissing all members present in haste. The \'collected evidence\' would grow cold if they hung around.
...
Dinner time, One of the tables at the Thousand flavors restaurant.
"Zheng Hu, is this all true?!"
"It is."
"Yang Qing, you sure know how to pick cases..." Dai Chen said with a tired sigh as he leaned back to his seat with a defeated and somber expression.
