The road is right under your feet

There are no advanced instruments here, so we can only use manual extraction.

At this time, the food was served, and Bai Xing shouted to them to send it to the next door. He then carried two dirty basins, one in each hand, and asked the waiter to take them down.

Then he walked towards the next room.

On the other side, Li Mu pushed open the slightly broken wooden door and shouted excitedly: "Mom, I'm back. Look, I brought you some delicious food." As he spoke, he shook the tightly wrapped item around his waist.

On the bed, a woman opened her eyes and tried to turn her head. Joy flashed in her cloudy eyes. She stretched out a trembling hand, wanting to touch her son, but let it drop weakly.

The woman was trembling all over, with a look of pain between her brows.

A trace of heartache flashed across Li Mu's eyes. He quickly stepped forward, grasped the hand, then lay down in front of the bed again, rubbing his mother's slightly rough little hand against the side of his face.

The woman looked at her son intently, her eyes full of love.

Li Mu looked at the most important person in the world and said slowly: "Mom, a lot of things happened today. It was so fun. I also met two noble people. Mom, you will be fine. Everything will be fine." At the end, tears welled up in Li Mu's eyes.

Hearing this, the woman's face suddenly changed. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

Li Mu saw his mother's worry, but he couldn't reveal more because that would make his mother even more worried.

He wiped away the tears from his eyes without leaving a trace, untied the snake meat hanging around his waist, and said happily: "Mom, this is what I just brought back from the mountain today. It's delicious. I'll go heat it up for you."

……

Inside the room, Gu Yi got a robe from somewhere. It was a light green color that suited him very well.

Her hair is no longer neatly short, but is simply tied up, blowing freely without wind.

His whole person became ethereal, handsome and elegant, like a banished immortal.

It really fits the saying, 'The man on the street is like jade, and there is no other gentleman in the world.'

Gu Yi smiled faintly and said, "I asked the waiter to help me buy the robes. Is that ok?"

Bai Xing threw off his robe and sat upright on one side, "Okay, of course, our Second Young Master Gu will look good in anything he wears."

The dishes on the table were eye-catching, with three dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Especially the plate of tender and stewed chicken, with golden color and embellished with green, yellow and purple side dishes, is really mouth-watering.

The other meat dish was relatively simple, and it was hard to tell what kind of meat it was, but it was chewy and very tempting.

The soup is thick and milky white, and you can smell a fresh fragrance if you smell it carefully.

Bai Xing's nose twitched, and he stared at the table full of delicious food with shining eyes, his saliva almost dripping out.

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and said as he served the rice: "Come, try this Bi Luo Xian stewed chicken first." As he said that, he placed the full bowl in his hand on the table in front of Bai Xing.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Xing's eyes. "Oh, our Second Master Gu can actually pick up food for others? It seems that he has done it a lot in the past. He is handsome and considerate. Tsk, I don't know how many beauties are infatuated with him. Why not marry him, classmate Gu?"

Gu Yi smiled bitterly, "Don't make fun of me. I can never compare to you. You haven't shown your face many times, but you can drive countless people crazy about you." At the end, he lowered his eyes, rubbed the rim of the teacup slowly with his fingers, and remained silent.

Bai Xing glanced at him and said in a strange voice: "Is this the reason why you kept causing trouble for me in the past? Why? Jealousy?"

Gu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Bai Xing's eyes. His eyes were deep and he spoke word by word: "Yes, I am jealous."

You are going crazy with jealousy, jealous that they can talk about you and express their love for you without restraint.

I'm jealous that they can be in the same research institute with you, and they see each other every day.

And I... can only hide behind the scenes and avoid being seen in public. I can only rely on the methods you hate to attract your attention and make you remember me...

Bai Xing was startled, and patted Gu Yi on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, I promise you, if you like a girl, I will never look at her twice, and I will stay far away from her, how about that?"

Gu Yi choked and murmured, "You still don't understand. You... don't understand anything."

Bai Xing didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously said, "Hmm?"

He picked up a piece of juicy chicken with chopsticks and started eating it, saying incoherently: "Eat it, delicious food should be eaten while it's hot. Hmm~ This chicken is really good, with a smooth texture and just the right amount of saltiness. Want to try it?"

Gu Yi looked at Bai Xing's hamster-like cheeks and smiled.

With a sigh, it doesn’t matter, there is still a long way to go.

After finishing his meal, Bai Xing did not linger but returned to his room impatiently. His herbs should have been brewed and he could proceed to the next step.

He walked to the table, picked up the whole pot, and went downstairs directly.

He found a waiter, led him to the kitchen, and then hurried away.

It was already past midnight and there were not many people in the kitchen.

Bai Xing held the basin, glanced at the people in the kitchen, and said, "Please make room for one of your stoves. I need it urgently."

The head cook saw that Bai Xing was dressed in an extraordinary manner and did not dare to neglect him. He immediately said, "There are not many guests who need to eat at the moment. Please feel free to eat as you like."

As he spoke, he brought Bai Xing to a cleaned stove.

Bai Xing nodded, put down the basin, and handed the cook ten spirit stones. "Thank you."

The head cook's eyes lit up, but he didn't take it. He said reluctantly, "Sir, this is against the rules."

Bai Xing sighed and walked forward a little more, "It's okay, bring a few brothers and add more food, I may need your help later."

The head cook then took it and said, "Thank you, sir."

Bai Xing stopped and poured everything in the basin, including the water and the grass, into the pot. He covered the pot and squatted down to start a fire.

After a while, the fire in the stove became very strong, burning the charred bottom of the pot.

Bai Xing sat cross-legged, supporting his head with one hand, adding firewood from time to time.

There was a flickering flame rising in his eyes, which made Bai Xing's eyes flicker.

As time passed, I couldn't help yawning and my eyelids were twitching.

The head cook came over and said, "Sir, how about you go upstairs and have a rest first? I'll help you keep an eye on the fire?"

Bai Xing raised his head hazily, his sight slowly focused on the honest face of the cook, "Oh, it's you? No need, I can watch it myself." After saying that, he yawned again.

He stood up, stretched, stretched his arms, and stretched his legs.

I felt a little more comfortable and sat back down.

I don’t know how long it took, but a shrill voice came from the headset.

"Ding——Master, it's Yin time~.

"Ding—Master, wake up!"

"Ding - Master, I suggest you pour a basin of cold water on yourself to wash away the sleepiness!"

The corners of Bai Xing's eyes turned red, with a few tears spilling out. He patted his forehead and tried to wake himself up, then raised his hand to rub his temple.

Then he stood up and looked around. There were only a few people left. He said to one of them, "Help me get a clean towel."

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

Bai Xing took the cloth that looked brand new and washed it briefly.

Then scoop up the residue, put it in a cloth, and squeeze it to filter.

There were less than two bowls of thick, black medicinal juice left in the pot, which also emitted a bitter and astringent medicinal smell that was extremely unpleasant. Bai Xing frowned slightly.

I was already in a bad mood, and when I smelled this unspeakable smell, my stomach suddenly churned.

Bai Xing endured the discomfort and added fuel to the fire again, causing the medicine to evaporate and concentrate again.

After a while, only one bowl of medicine was left.

Bai Xing then put out the fire, found a clean bowl, scooped up the medicine and returned to the house.

Bai Xing took out ten jade bottles that the waiter had prepared in advance, divided the medicine juice in the bowl equally, and poured them into the bottles one by one.

Then take out the birch sap and pour in twice the amount of the medicinal juice. Shake it until the medicinal juice turns into a transparent dark brown color. Then stop.

Bai Xing hesitated for a moment, but still picked up a bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently.

Suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and murmured to himself, "It looks like it was successful."

He poured it into his mouth and tasted it, "It doesn't taste weird either."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful spiritual power surged from his body, instantly flowing into his limbs and bones, spreading through his meridians, from his toes and fingertips to his crown.

Then, follow the flow of spiritual energy and circulate it for several large and small cycles until the medicinal power is exhausted.
