In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

As the morning light gently brushed the edge of the curtains and quietly slipped into the room on the second floor of Lu Xueqing's courtyard, the air was filled with a warm and slightly lazy atmosphere.

Li Zimo and Lu Xueqing woke up leisurely in each other's warm embrace. On such an ordinary morning, there was infinite happiness and sweetness.

Li Zimo gently raised his hand and ran his fingertips through Lu Xueqing's soft hair, as if playing an invisible melody.

He gently used his hair to draw subtle patterns on her cheeks with a hint of mischievous smile:

"Xueqing, it's time to get up."

Lu Xueqing slowly opened her eyes at this delicate touch, with hazy morning light and a smile flashing in her eyes.

She looked at Li Zimo's loving face, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and she responded gently:

"Zimo, you're annoying."

Then, the two smiled at each other and started playing on the bed.

Li Zimo gently held Lu Xueqing in his arms, their bodies pressed close together, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

They were laughing and joking, and their laughter echoed in the room, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Lu Xueqing was quickly defeated, with a smile in her eyes:

"Zimo, stop messing around. We still have practice to do today."

However, Li Zimo did not give up. A sly look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly leaned forward, their noses almost touching, and whispered:

"Then give me another good morning kiss and I'll let you get up."

Lu Xueqing's cheeks turned slightly red, but she did not resist. She closed her eyes, with a sweet smile on her lips, and let Li Zimo's lips gently cover her red lips.

At that moment, time seemed to have really stopped, leaving only the warmth of two hearts tightly dependent on each other.

After a long time, the two reluctantly separated, their eyes filled with deep affection and reluctance for each other.

Lu Xueqing said softly:

"I really have to go. I can't fall behind in my training at the Martial Arts Academy."

Li Zimo nodded, and although there was reluctance in his eyes, it was also full of understanding and support.

He stood up, tidied Lu Xueqing's clothes, and the two walked down the stairs hand in hand.

At the dining table, Lu Xiaodie had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the two of them coming hand in hand, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

Li Zimo walked up to her, kissed her small red lips, and said lovingly:

"Xiaodie, breakfast is delicious. Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Xiaodie's cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered her head shyly, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.

She whispered, "Brother Zimo, Miss, please eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

The three of them sat together, enjoying this rare breakfast time.

After dinner, Lu Xueqing took out a storage bag of second-level medicinal herbs from the shop in the front yard, handed it to Li Zimo, and said gently:

"Zimo, these are all the second-level medicinal materials in the store. You can use them to make pills. I'm leaving first."

Li Zimo nodded in agreement, kissed Lu Xueqing again, and then let Lu Xueqing, whose face was flushed, leave.

After Lu Xueqing left, Li Zimo turned to look at Lu Xiaodie, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes:

"Xiaodie, you should go practice too. Remember to take the Breakthrough Pill. I'm going to the Alchemy Room to make some pills."

Lu Xiaodie nodded obediently, then returned to her room and began a day of practice.

Li Zimo, carrying the medicinal materials, walked towards the alchemy room with firm steps.

In the alchemy room, Li Zimo stood in front of the ancient and solemn alchemy furnace with an extremely focused expression, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world had nothing to do with him.

In this quiet alchemy room, Li Zimo was dressed in simple black clothes, and his sleeves danced lightly, revealing an otherworldly aura.

His hands were like an artist's brushstrokes, precisely and deftly controlling every subtle change in the alchemy furnace.

Under his manipulation, the flames transformed into dancing notes, showing the heat and power of the alchemy fire while retaining its delicacy and rhythm, forming a unique alchemy melody.

As his alchemy skills were demonstrated, Li Zimo's eyes became more and more profound, as if he could penetrate the surface of the medicinal materials and look directly into their inner vitality.

He follows ancient recipes and strict procedures. Every precise addition of medicinal materials reflects his profound understanding and application of medicinal properties, heat control, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

His hands flexibly and precisely controlled every detail of the alchemy furnace. Every jump of the flame was carefully adjusted and controlled by him. The blazing flame seemed to come alive in his hands, dancing to the set rhythm and melody, which was both powerful and delicate.

As the alchemy progressed, Li Zimo's eyes became more profound, as if he could see through the subtle changes contained within the medicinal materials.

He followed strict recipes and procedures, and each time he added the herbs, he did so at just the right amount, neither too much nor too little. His precise grasp of the herbs' properties and the timing of refining demonstrated his profound attainments and unique insights into alchemy.

During this process, Li Zimo's movements were extremely skillful. Every gesture and every turn seemed so smooth and natural, as if all of this had been integrated into his blood and become an indispensable part of his life.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of alchemy, and his infinite love and persistent pursuit of alchemy were most perfectly interpreted at this moment.

As time went by, bursts of rich medicinal fragrance began to emanate from the alchemy furnace, which was a sign that the medicinal materials were gradually merging and sublimating under the tempering of the flames.

After the medicinal materials were completely integrated, he cast a spell to collect the pills, and soon six round, smooth, and brightly colored Qi Condensation Pills slowly formed in the pill furnace, shining brightly and slowly rising up. At the last moment before the pill took shape, a dazzling halo flashed, and a clear pill pattern suddenly appeared on the surface of the Qi Condensation Pill.

Li Zimo took the six pills in his hand with a wave of his hand, took a deep breath of the breath full of vitality, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

......

In the next seven days, Li Zimo devoted almost all his energy to alchemy. He spent ten hours every day by the furnace, carefully refining the second-level pill.

With sweat and wisdom intertwined, he finally lived up to expectations and transformed all the second-level medicinal materials in the shop into precious pills - Qi Condensing Pills, Body Strengthening Pills, Yuan Hui Pills, Heart Purifying Pills, Detoxification Pills, Recovery Pills, etc., totaling 1,400 pills, each of which was crystal clear, with pill patterns, and filled with medicinal fragrance.

After completing this feat, Li Zimo carefully kept four hundred of the pills for his own use in case of emergency.

As for the remaining thousand pills, he handed them over to Lu Xiaodie, who had recently broken through to the seventh level of martial artist, with great anticipation, and entrusted her to bring these pills to Mr. Ma.

Lu Xiaodie gladly accepted the order, and with this heavy harvest, she set out on the journey to Mr. Ma's place.

When Mr. Ma saw this batch of high-quality second-level elixirs with elixir patterns, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes.

He was well aware of the value of these pills, each of which was enough to provide considerable assistance to a warrior on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, he offered a generous reward of 120,000 spirit stones without hesitation.

After all, the market price of second-level elixirs is generally higher than two hundred spirit stones, not to mention second-level elixirs with elixir patterns and stronger medicinal effects.

Generally speaking, pills with danwen are 50% more expensive than those without danwen, so a reward of 120,000 is still a bit too little.

However, Li Zimo didn't care. He just hoped to better help Yaoxiang Pavilion and relieve Lu Xueqing's pressure.
