Chapter 219: This Cat Chose Abilities Because He Didn’t Want to Cultivate, Now He Needs to Cultivate to Refine Pills. Wasn’t My Choice in Vain?

“That’s not the same. There’s a lot of knowledge in taking medicine,” Hong Fu said with a smile. “The properties of spiritual medicines are different. Some clash, and some can maximize the medicinal effects of the medicine. You little glutton, stewing medicine randomly, be careful of poisoning yourself to death.”

Does this little glutton think taking medicine is easy? There’s a lot of knowledge involved. If someone doesn’t know, they could end up poisoning themselves to death.

“Is that so? It seems I need to study a bit,” Li Li said thoughtfully after listening. In that case, he might as well buy a set of first-order Alchemist experience from the Comprehensive Network Mall. He believed he would be able to refine pills very soon.

After all, he’s a cat with the Comprehensive Network!

“You can study, but if you, little glutton, have the idea of becoming an Alchemist? I think you’d better give up on that idea.” Hearing this, Hong Fu quickly guessed Li Li’s thoughts. “Although there are Alchemist experiences and recipes for sale in the Comprehensive Network, other people’s experiences are ultimately theirs. You may not be able to become an Alchemist after buying them. There’s a lot of knowledge involved, especially in controlling the heat. Not even one in tens of thousands of people can succeed.”

“But how would this cat know without trying? Not one in tens of thousands of people succeed because they’re human. This cat is a cat,” Li Li said nonchalantly. How could humans and cats be the same? Isn’t that a joke?

“Then go ahead and try. If you have a lot of Comprehensive Network Currency?” Hong Fu covered her mouth and smiled. This little glutton, unexpectedly, has a stubborn personality. Then let him try. After he hits a wall, he will naturally come back.

“Huh? Is Alchemist experience very expensive?” Hearing this, Li Li was puzzled and opened the Comprehensive Network to check the price of Alchemist experience.

Good heavens! He didn’t know until he checked, and he was shocked when he did. This Alchemist experience was even more expensive than abilities, and it was just first-order Alchemist experience. Simply outrageous!

“Nonsense! It would be strange if Alchemist experience wasn’t expensive. You know, after becoming an Alchemist, as long as you don’t die, you can make money continuously,” Hong Fu said with a chuckle. Does this little glutton even know what an Alchemist is? Does he think anyone can be an Alchemist? If it were that easy, Alchemists would be everywhere.

“Then… then can I learn alchemy from Big Sister?” Li Li closed the Comprehensive Network Mall and asked ingratiatingly.

He had confirmed that the Alchemist experience in the mall was something he couldn’t afford at all.

Then he could only rely on connections, like Hong Fu, the Alchemist.

“Of course, no problem. But what are you willing to offer, little glutton? You don’t expect me to teach you for free, do you? That’s probably not possible.”

After hearing this, Hong Fu’s lips curved into a beautiful arc.

The little glutton wants to learn alchemy from her? No problem, just a little price to pay.

“Uh, is a big cake okay?” Li Li asked tentatively. “Or I can bring Big Sister more milk tea.”

What could he offer when he’s penniless? Besides products from the modern world, there was nothing else he could give.

“Hmm, bring me all the things you mentioned first. I need to see if you have the talent. If you do? I’ll think about what you should give me.” Hearing this, Hong Fu licked her lips. She knew what cake and milk tea were from watching soap operas.

Now that the little glutton is willing to bring them to her, of course, it’s the best.

“Then I’ll go try it first and bring them to Big Sister tomorrow, how about that?” Li Li asked to negotiate. “After all, it’s getting late now, and the shops are closed.”

“Closing so early? I didn’t see them close so early in the TV dramas.” Hong Fu said. She saw 24-hour takeout in the TV dramas. Why does the little glutton say they are closed? Could he be trying to trick her?

“Uh, those in the TV dramas are staged. They’re all fake, Big Sister, don’t be fooled.” Hearing this, Li Li panicked a little but still said calmly.

Anyway, Big Sister has never been to his world, so whatever he says goes.

“Okay, I’ll trust you this time. Come over.” Hong Fu said. Anyway, this little glutton can’t escape. She’s not worried that he’ll renege on his debt.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll be right there.” Li Li nodded his big head and jumped out of Yuan Ni’s arms, running upstairs.

“Cat Cat, why did you run away? I have canned food here, canned food!” Yuan Ni, holding Li Li, shouted after seeing him. But Li Li, rushing upstairs, had no intention of turning back. He’s in a hurry to refine pills now.

“Li Li, why did you rush up here? Is there something urgent?” Li Hao, who was changing clothes, was stunned when he saw Li Li running in.

“Of course, this cat is going to refine medicinal herbs into pills. I won’t be back tonight.” As Li Li spoke, his figure disappeared with a “swoosh.”

“Ah, Void Teleportation? Is Your Majesty a legendary demon god?” The yellow weasel sitting on the ground saw this scene and couldn’t help but widen his mouth in shock.

This ability to disappear out of thin air, only the legendary demon gods who can break through the void can do it, right?

“Thump”

Inside the warm alchemy room, after paying 100 Comprehensive Network Currency, Li Li successfully arrived.

“Big Sister, where are you? Why don’t I see you?” Looking around, Li Li asked in confusion.

He’s already here, why didn’t he see Big Sister Hong Fu? Logically speaking, visiting a friend’s home should place him next to the friend.

“Slap, slap”

As soon as Li Li finished speaking, two hands grabbed him.

“You bad cat, falling directly on my head, and you ask where I am? You can’t even see your own belly, how can you see me?” Hong Fu, who was holding Li Li, said angrily. Where else could this bad cat have landed? He actually fell on her head.

Fortunately, she’s a cultivator with successful cultivation. Otherwise, if an ordinary person were hit by him like this, their neck would at least be broken.

“How can you blame me for this? It’s clearly the Comprehensive Network’s fault for teleporting me here. I think Big Sister, you should go to the Comprehensive Network.” Li Li, who was being held, shrugged helplessly. He thought he was landing on a pillar in the alchemy room. Who would have thought it was Big Sister Hong Fu’s head?

“The Comprehensive Network is a miser. It’s definitely useless to look for it. But it’s different with you. You definitely have to compensate me, you know?”

“You have to give me a box of instant noodles, a box of chocolate, and a box of spicy strips. Remember, big boxes.” Hong Fu, pinching Li Li’s face, emphasized. This bad cat still wants to use the Comprehensive Network as an excuse.

If he hadn’t come, how could he have fallen on her head?

“Oh, oh.” Hearing the request, Li Li nodded his big head. Fortunately, they’re not very expensive things, so it’s acceptable.

“That’s right. You can start trying to refine pills now.” Hong Fu said, putting Li Li down. Then, with a flick of her hands, she demonstrated to Li Li.

“To refine pills, you first need to extract the essence of the medicinal herbs, then remove the impurities from the medicinal liquid. Then mix it with other medicinal liquids.”

“Finally, refine the mixed medicinal liquid into a gel and condense it into pills.” Hong Fu explained as she operated, then waved her hand. The alchemy furnace opened, and several pills flew out, landing in Hong Fu’s palm.

“So amazing, refined in less than the time it takes to eat a meal.” Seeing this scene, Li Li couldn’t help but admire, and his heart was filled with infinite confidence.

“Of course, Fasting Pills are not even considered low-grade pills. They’re very simple to refine. Now it’s your turn.” Hong Fu put away the pills and patted Li Li’s big head.

“Okay!” Li Li responded, not holding back. His mental power transformed into a big hand, and he imitated Hong Fu’s actions, throwing the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace. Then a burning smell came out.

Seeing this, Hong Fu couldn’t help but laugh:

“Haha, you little fool, imitating me refining pills? I’m an Alchemist, you’re just a newbie, you need to refine the medicinal herbs one by one, you know?”

This little glutton is trying to run before he can walk, refining so many medicinal herbs together. It would be a miracle if he could form a pill.

“Oh, oh.”

Hearing this, Li Li followed suit and threw the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one. This time, there was no burning smell immediately, but after a while, the medicinal herbs still burned.

“What’s going on? This cat controlled the heat very well, the medicinal liquid clearly came out.” Seeing this scene, Li Li was puzzled, not knowing where the problem was.

“It’s true that the medicinal liquid came out, but your hand speed is too slow, you didn’t take out the medicinal liquid in time.” Hong Fu pointed out from the side. “And you only have mental power, you don’t have spiritual power to control the heat well. If you want to refine pills, you still need to cultivate.”

“Forget it, this cat gives up. Anyway, this cat doesn’t need pills, just eat the medicinal herbs directly. There’s no need to refine any pills at all.” Hearing this, Li Li immediately expressed that he wouldn’t do it anymore.

He chose the ability to become stronger just by eating because he didn’t want to cultivate. Now, to refine pills, he needs to cultivate? Wouldn’t that put him back to square one?

Moreover, whether the medicinal herbs are refined into pills or not, he won’t waste their efficacy after eating them.

Let the shovelers do the laborious task of refining pills. After all, he has paved the way for them, and it’s time to give them some work to do.

“Then it’s up to you, but you still have to pay, you know?” Hong Fu looked at Li Li’s big head and reminded him. She doesn’t care whether the little glutton learns or not, she has already taught him, and the little glutton can’t refuse to pay.

“Ah? But I only learned for a while.” Li Li said in a daze. He has to pay even after learning for a short while?

“I don’t care, I taught you anyway, it’s your own choice not to learn, it has nothing to do with me.” Hong Fu said with a smile and picked him up, rubbing Li Li’s round face with both hands. “By the way, didn’t you, little glutton, come to me to refine pills? Hurry up and take out the medicinal herbs.”

“Ah? Big Sister, your fees are too expensive. This cat can’t afford it.” Hearing this, Li Li replied.

“It’s okay, as long as you stay with me for a night, it’s free.” Hong Fu said with a smile, pinching Li Li’s small ears.
