Yao Lingzi saw Ming Li and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He hurried forward and said, "Ancestor, why have you come to the Medicine Valley? Could it be that the Ancestor knows about my shortcomings in alchemy and has come to guide me personally?"
Ming Li met Yao Lingzi's excited gaze and felt a bit bewildered.
Ming Li: ...Why is he so excited?
Ming Li put down the teacup and spoke directly to Yao Lingzi, "I heard you have ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng here. Get me some. You can name your price."
Yao Lingzi was stunned for a moment and felt a brief pang of disappointment. Still, he took out three ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginsengs from his storage ring and gave them to Ming Li.
Ming Li accepted the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng and said to Yao Lingzi, "Thank you."
Seeing Ming Li take the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng, Yao Lingzi's face broke into a smile. He rubbed his hands together somewhat slyly and said to Ming Li, "Ancestor, that... the pill recipes you gave me, there are a few parts I didn't understand. I hope the Ancestor can guide me a little."
Ming Li tossed the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng into her space, looked at Yao Lingzi, and said, "To your alchemy room."
Yao Lingzi's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he exclaimed, "Ancestor, you can also refine pills?!"
Ming Li nodded without speaking.
Seeing this, Yao Lingzi quickly led Ming Li to his alchemy room.
Inside the system space.
The system watched the three items emitting a faint purple light that Ming Li had just thrown in, its mouth watering.
The system curiously circled the three ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginsengs, its drool almost reaching the ground.
The system swallowed hard, its eyes shining brightly as it stared at the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginsengs.
What is this stuff? It looks so delicious. It should be okay to eat just a little bit, right? Just a tiny bite.
Thinking this, the system boldly did just that.
While Ming Li wasn't paying attention, the system took a bite out of a ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng.
The ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng melted in its mouth, and the system felt so blissful it could almost float.
System: Awooo! ┗|｀oprime;|┛ So sweet! So delicious!
After swallowing the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng in its mouth, the system looked at the piece it had bitten with lingering desire.
System: ...Since I've already bitten it, why not take another bite? Just one last bite! It promises! The system swore solemnly in its heart.
Having made its vow, the system stared at the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng it had bitten with green eyes, and without hesitation, took another bite...
In the end, unable to resist the temptation, the system went all out and gnawed the entire ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng until not even a trace was left.
The system, having finished the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng, felt stuffed and content. It lay down on the ground and began to snore loudly, completely unaware of the impending danger...
After resolving Yao Lingzi's issues, Ming Li returned directly to the Immortal Li Sect.
Upon reaching her Ancestor Peak, Ming Li immediately set up a barrier to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
After setting up the barrier, Ming Li returned to the system space.
As soon as she entered the system space, Ming Li saw the system lying on the ground, sleeping like a dead pig, and beside it, a ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng with a piece missing.
Ming Li: ...Where is her ten-thousand-year-old Purple Snow Ginseng?
Ming Li narrowed her eyes, and an idea slowly formed in her mind.
Ming Li's mouth twitched fiercely. She directly picked up the still sleeping system and splashed it with a mass of water to wake it up.
The system shook its slightly groggy head, and the water splashed all over Ming Li's face.
Ming Li: ...
The system suddenly met Ming Li's darkened face and shivered involuntarily.
Remembering something, the system's gaze flickered, and it dared not meet Ming Li's eyes.
The system forced a smile and said to Ming Li, "Host... Host, why did you suddenly enter the system space?"
