Chapter 73: On the Behavior of Leeks
The blue flame phantom left a trace of power in Su Xiaomei's body to help her suppress the anger in her body.
Then he returned to Li Fan's sea of consciousness.
In just such a short time, Li Fan already felt tired.
The "Phantom Spirit Illusion Skill" has not yet reached the advanced stage of Qi refining, and the newborn phantom spirit is still a bit weak.
Moreover, he had to concentrate and carefully control the intensity of the phantom's output so as not to cause damage to Su Xiaomei's young body.
It is not an easy task for Li Fan.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
This can keep her safe and sound for ten years.
If Li Fan could escape from the Yunshui Heavenly Palace and obtain the "Yunshui Tulu" in this life, he would come to her in advance.
If something unexpected happens to Li Fan, she can go to the world of immortality with Su Changyu and others ten years later.
After regaining his energy, Li Fan walked out of the basement.
All the Dali dignitaries were still waiting outside.
After telling them that Su Xiaomei had been treated, Li Fan asked them to disperse.
Xuexiang Su was left alone and asked about Su Xiaomei's situation.
Academician Su's face turned red and he hesitated for a long time before hesitantly told the whole story.
It turns out that Su Xiaomei is not the daughter of Xueshi Su, but the daughter of Xueshi Su’s younger sister, Su Yuqing.
Su Yuqing is much younger than Bachelor Su. She was only sixteen years old when she was pregnant with Xiaomei Su last year.
At that time, her inexplicable pregnancy caused an uproar in the Su family.
Because she was not married at all at that time!
Pregnancy out of wedlock is already an outright scandal. What made Mr. Su even more angry was that Su Yuqing refused to tell him who the father of the child was.
She insisted that she had never done anything immoral. She was just playing in the garden one day when she suddenly felt tired and took a nap.
Soon after waking up, I noticed something strange about my body.
But as a young girl in a boudoir, how could she have the nerve to mention such a thing to others?
It wasn't until my belly got bigger day by day that I finally couldn't hide it anymore.
Of course the Su family didn't believe this ridiculous explanation.
Angrily, Mr. Su wanted to abort the child.
Feeling the heartbeat of the fetus in her belly, Su Yuqing showed her strength as a mother.
No matter what, they did not agree to abort the fetus, and even threatened her life.
Although Mr. Su was so angry that he didn't really kill his own daughter as well.
Su Yuqing could only be locked in the room and not allowed to go out to prevent the news from leaking.
Just like that, I finally waited until the day of delivery.
It took a lot of effort to give birth to Su Xiaomei.
Su Yuqing's body was already weak, and she had not received good care since she was pregnant.
After all this torture, my body couldn't bear it anymore.
So a few days after giving birth to Su Xiaomei, she passed away with regret.
Before she died, she begged the Su family to take good care of Xiaomei Su.
None of the Su family are heartless people.
After Su Yuqing's death, the whole family loved this little girl who had lost her parents since she was a child, and they all hoped that she would grow up safely and happily.
Who would have thought that Su Xiaomei would suffer from a strange disease not long after she was born.
My whole body felt hot, to the point where I had to apply ice packs all the time to relieve it.
The Su family consulted famous doctors in Beijing and China, but none of them could cure him.
Until Li Fan's arrival.
…
After Li Fan finished listening to Scholar Su's story, he raised his head and looked at the sky in this world, thoughtfully.
"Are you born out of destiny? Maybe this can explain why Su Xiaomei is so talented."
"However, according to the original historical trajectory, even if she is talented, she will not be able to escape death in the face of disaster."
"In the entire world of immortality, how many people are as talented as Su Xiaomei, but they die in obscurity just like ordinary people."
"From this point of view, Heaven really treats everyone equally."
When it was over, Li Fan let out a long sigh, called out Taiyan Zhou, and left quickly.
It didn't take long before they returned to Liuli Island safely and smoothly.
True to what He Zhenghao said before, it took about twenty-five days.
And until now, the hidden talisman he had activated earlier was still working.
"As long as you don't fight with others, a Hidden Talisman can actually last for so long. It's really cheap and good. When you return to the island next time, maybe you can buy some for spare use." Li Fan thought to himself.
In the mountains and rivers star formation, Li Fan handed the storage ring to He Zhenghao.
He Zhenghao was a little absent-minded, so he just glanced at it and put the storage ring away.
His attention was focused on a simple mirror in front of him.
Judging from its appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Tianxuan realm.
Li Fan followed He Zhenghao's gaze and saw a line of small words displayed on the mirror.
"Spiritual Mist Grass: The current price is fifteen points of contribution per plant."
The number fifteen is constantly changing. One moment it becomes sixteen, and the next moment it quickly becomes fourteen.
"It's up, you're up!" He Zhenghao stared at the mirror, as if he was possessed, and kept repeating.
"Fellow Daoist He, what are you doing?" Li Fan asked curiously.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, you don't know something." He Zhenghao didn't look away, sighed and said gloomily.
"A few days ago, shortly after you left, I received reliable news. The island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted was attacked by strange beasts in the sea, 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 Talisman, and it is already extremely rare. Now that so many have been destroyed, the price will definitely skyrocket."
"The news hadn't spread yet, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. So I spent a lot of money in the Tianxuan Realm and gathered a large number of Spirit Mist Grass..."
This operation sounded familiar. Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao and was a little confused: "Isn't that a good thing? Why does fellow Taoist look so depressed?"
"Hey, a good thing is a good thing, but I was happy too early." He Zhenghao sighed without looking away from the mirror.
"At the beginning, the price of Lingwu Grass increased a bit, from 20 points per plant to 25 points per plant. But who would have thought that before I could sell the Lingwu Grass in my hand, its price It suddenly plummeted.”
"It plummeted from 25 points to 13 points, almost half the price!" He Zhenghao was heartbroken.
"Fortunately, the price has rebounded recently and has risen to around 15 points again."
…
Li Fan listened to He Zhenghao's words and couldn't help but said: "Then why fellow Taoist He take the opportunity to sell all the Lingwu Grass in his hand, at least he can get some money back."
He Zhenghao shook his head quickly: "This is no good. I have accumulated nearly a hundred years of savings in it. At least I have to wait until it goes back up again before I can withdraw..."
Halfway through his words, 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 like an avalanche, from fifteen points per plant to six points per plant, before stabilizing with difficulty.
"It should... go back up, right?"
After being silent for a long time, looking at He Zhenghao who was lost and confused, Li Fan could only comfort him like this.
