I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 51 Stealing Fire Control Techniques

Jiang Yingzhu barged in wearing pajamas, followed by Mei Mengqian, who was peeking in with her arms crossed.

The two looked like they had just taken a shower, their bodies still damp, and their short-sleeved pajamas clung tightly to their bodies.

Her white thighs, barely reaching her thighs, resembled lotus roots emerging from the water, snow-white and smooth.

With a single glance, Li Yan could only think of the phrase "the awl in the bag."

He felt a slight itch on his nose and pointed to the four round pills in the class's plate, saying:

"I made some pills with ginseng, would you like to try some?"

"Ah!" Mei Mengqian exclaimed instinctively, "This medicine can't be taken randomly, can it?"

After saying that, she glanced at the round pill and swallowed.

For some reason, she felt a deep, visceral craving for that meatball. Was it really delicious? It smelled so good!
"Oh, Mengmeng, it's just a little ginseng. Getting poisoned is good because it means you don't have to do military training."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't care about anything else, picked one up and threw it into her mouth.

Chew, chew... Hmm? Why don't I feel anything?

One more!
"Wait, one is enough. I just ate one and almost got a nosebleed. Be careful not to eat too much and grow a beard," Li Yan quickly advised.

"I got it for Mengmeng!" Jiang Yingzhu said, pouting. After swallowing a Qi-Nourishing Pill, the eagerness in her eyes lessened considerably.

Jiang Yingzhu held the pill to Mei Mengqian's lips. "Mengmeng, it's not poisonous. Try it, taste it carefully. I ate it too fast just now and didn't taste anything. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian couldn't resist her body's instinct and opened her mouth.

The pill melts instantly in the mouth, leaving only a faint sweet aftertaste.

Then, a warm feeling spread from her abdomen throughout her body, like drinking a sip of hot soup in the dead of winter. The warm and comforting sensation seeped into her stomach and internal organs, making her sigh with relief.

It feels even more comfortable than taking a bath earlier.

"How is it? What does it taste like?" Jiang Yingzhu asked eagerly.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of growing a beard, but she was afraid that Li Yan, that bastard, would take a picture of it and use it as a black mark on her past.

So I always kept myself in control.

"It's a little sweet," Mei Mengqian said.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her nearsighted eyes had become much clearer.

"I added sugar."

Li Yan shattered Jiang Yingzhu's fantasies with a single sentence: "It's just a ginseng dumpling, what are you thinking?"

He reiterated that although he was a little confused as to how the two of them ate together so easily, he still couldn't say what he couldn't say.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him sideways but said nothing.

She felt a little sweaty, and the scoundrel kept glancing at her legs and Mengmeng's genitals.

"boom!"

Li Yan looked up and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

"You know better!"

Jiang Yingzhu snorted and pulled Mei Mengqian away.

Seeing this, Li Yan just smiled and figured he could get away with it.

He shifted to a more comfortable sitting position on the ground, relieving the pressure on his body, and looked down at the two remaining Qi-Nourishing Pills in the plate.

How can we trick Mr. and Mrs. Li into eating these two?

I don't know if it will be effective if dissolved in water or soup.

There was also the process of the system refining pills before. Li Yan tried to recall how spiritual energy circulated in his body when the system was in charge of refining pills, as well as the control techniques after he made his move.

"puff!"

A flame bursts in the air, then vanishes in an instant.

Li Yan blinked, as if he had successfully plagiarized the system.

No, how can something done by scholars be considered plagiarism?

After he was able to transform spiritual energy into fire, he glanced at the system skill panel; no new skills had appeared.
"No, isn't this a skill? Fine, I'll practice it myself."

So Li Yan practiced controlling the flames all night. The flames in his hands were sometimes big and sometimes small, and the temperature fluctuated depending on the amount of spiritual energy.

Li Yan felt it was about time, so he tried refining pills, controlling the ginseng to enter the flames. When a person entered the fire, they burned like a wooden stick.

Then it suddenly exploded, and the sparks that fell onto the textbooks almost set the desk on fire.

Li Yan raised his hand, glanced at the scorch mark on his palm, and let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that the system's alchemy skills are not limited to the technique of turning spiritual energy into fire.

Perhaps there are also techniques for protecting medicinal herbs with spiritual power; it would be great if he had the formulas to let the system manage them.

If they did it a few more times, plagiarized and improved upon it, they might create a pretty good health product. Li Yan remembered that in the following years, medical and health care received a lot of attention.

The next morning, the three of them changed into their military training uniforms and rode their bikes to school.

After 7:50, everyone went to the playground to assemble. Just after 8:00, a tall man in camouflage walked over.

"Class 1, Grade 11?"

"Yes."

"I am your instructor. Where is the squad leader? Assemble and form ranks!"

"I am the class monitor." After answering, Ye Hui loudly called for everyone in Class One to assemble.

There were two teams, one for boys and one for girls. Li Yan, being tall, was at the back. After they lined up, he heard the instructor in front say:
"My name is Liu Xiyong, you can call me Instructor Liu. Cooperate well for the next seven days. If you don't make things difficult for me, I won't make things difficult for you! Do you understand?!"

"heard it."

"Haven't you eaten? Speak louder!"

"I heard you!"

Instructor Liu nodded, put his hands behind his back, and scanned the entire area with his sharp gaze.

"Alright, everyone, attention!"

"We will now begin military posture training! Listen carefully to the instructions—"

"Head straight! Shoulders level! Hands pressed together! Fingers together, thumb against the second joint of the index finger, middle finger pressed against the trouser seam! If I can see a gap, practice for another five minutes! Legs straight!"

The process of instructing students on how to stand at attention took half an hour.
The sun was shining brightly, casting large patches of sunlight across the playground.

Li Yan watched as the instructor walked into the group, patting one person on the shoulder and tugging at the back of another's knee from time to time.

However, in his impression, this instructor was quite upright; he corrected his posture and never crossed the line.

Especially on the girls' side.

"Don't move, head up and chest out, stand for half an hour."

However, Li Yan was not given any special consideration; given his physical condition, standing at attention was too easy for him.

Half an hour is acceptable for most people.

Even the girls in the class gritted their teeth and got through it.

Li Yan used his divine sense to observe Mei Mengqian; she seemed more relaxed than most of the boys in the class.
It seems that the Peiyuan Pill has a significant effect.

After standing at attention, the instructor began to teach us how to squat.

Squatting is no more comfortable than standing, and the instructors always stop when a student can't stand one position anymore, and then move them to the next one.

It was already close to noon, and some people were tired and hungry. Suddenly, Yu Bin, who was next to Li Yan, let out a low curse:
"Holy crap, look at that! It's a real sword!"

Looking around, people saw two tall boys licking ice cream in front of the army formation, walking back and forth, always within sight of the soldiers.

He even showed an extremely exaggerated expression of enjoyment.

"Damn it, those are the higher grades, and the instructors don't care. They're already dying of thirst!" Xiao Shuai said.

"I don't know, maybe they're in PE class." Vice class monitor Yang Xiong hesitated and said, "Let's not talk, the instructor is looking over here."

The group immediately fell silent, but the two Sword Sect disciples at the front of the army formation were noticed by more people with lightning speed.

The two of them were eating in circles when they noticed they were being watched, so they deliberately moved closer.

Many people secretly swallowed hard and clenched their fists.

Instructor Liu saw it too, and he was speechless.

Li Yan glanced at the two men and secretly activated his spiritual power.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the ice cream turned into a white puddle of solid and liquid, which landed on their pants.

The two seemed stunned, then tripped over each other and fell flat on their faces!

"Pfft, hahaha, you two idiots, keep pretending, you're acting like dogs."

Yu Bin burst out laughing, and this laugh triggered a chain reaction, with the surrounding troops, who were already unhappy with the two, also bursting into laughter.

Some bold boys even took advantage of the situation to kick someone when they were down.

"A weakling in the second year of high school, there must be too many deer around, he can't even stand up straight!"

"Go drink your milk instead of eating ice cream!"

The two stood up, their faces full of shame, looking at their clothes covered in ice cream and dust, and glared fiercely at Yu Bin, who had spoken first.

The two people happened to be not far from him and both listened in.

“Looking at your dad!” Yu Bin said.
