"Let's go!" Chu Li turned to look at Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun. "Can we still walk?"
"Junior Brother Zhao, give us a hand!" Zhou Jinchun said while gritting his teeth.
Chu Li reached out his hands to support the two of them.
Ji Xin was forcefully supported by Chu Li as he turned to look at Wen Ting indignantly.
Chu Li asked, "Do you want to kill Wen Tingdao or the Common Knotgrass?"
"Sigh." Ji Xin shook his head and said, "What a pity. It was such a great opportunity!"
Chu Li said, "There will be a chance."
Ji Xin quickly suggested, "Why don't we set up an ambush here and kill him when he comes to hand over the Common Knotgrass?"
Chu Li looked at him strangely.
Ji Xin asked, "Isn't this a good idea? In any case, he has already brought the Common Knotgrass. Why should he keep his word with the enemy? "
"Sigh." Chu Li shook his head and remained silent.
Zhou Jinchun said snappily, "Junior Brother Ji, you're also a smart person. How could you have such a stupid idea?"
"How are you stupid?"
"Do you think Wen Tingdao wouldn't be on guard against him?"
"That's true." Ji Xin smiled sheepishly. He had been too eager for quick success and had made a fool of himself in front of the other two. He quickly said, "This fellow is too cunning. If we let him go this time, we won't get another chance!"
"As long as he wants to kill you, Senior Brother Ji, he'll have the chance," Chu Li said.
Ji Xin felt a little strange when he heard this.
Zhou Jinchun smiled and said, "With the bait, there's no need to worry about the fish not taking the bait!"
Ji Xin shook his head.
When the three of them returned to the Mayor's Mansion, Li Ruolan was already waiting for them in the backyard.
When he saw that Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun had returned in a bloodied state, his expression changed drastically. He quickly went forward and asked, "What happened?"
"I went to look for spirit pills for Senior Sister Lu," Chu Li replied.
Ji Xin waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, they're all superficial wounds. I'll recover in a few days! Junior-apprentice Sister Lu has some good news. Junior-apprentice Brother Zhao can refine a type of spirit pill that can regrow limbs. It's called the Connection Pill. He's missing a spirit herb. Let's go look for it. "
"There's such a spirit pill?" Li Ruolan was surprised.
"I can refine it," Chu Li replied. "As long as I have the Common Knotgrass."
"There will be Common Knotgrass soon." Ji Xin smiled. "We've put in a lot of effort this time. We got it from Wen Tingdao of the Sword Moon Sect."
"Him?" Li Ruolan said, "Senior Brother Ji, why did you provoke him? The Sword Moon Sect isn't a pushover!"
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Li, your injuries haven't healed yet. Why aren't you healing yourself?"
"I'm fine." Li Ruolan shook her head.
Ji Xindao said with concern, "Your injuries are more important. Let's go and recuperate. We can't leave even if we want to. We'll need to recuperate for a while."
He said with a wry smile.
Not being able to fight for a year and a half was not a good feeling.

Three days later, in the morning, Chu Li was leisurely practicing the thirty-six energy-nurturing forms in the backyard.
Li Ruolan rushed to the backyard with a box and entered the gazebo. "I've retrieved the Common Knotgrass. Do you think it's the one?"
Chu Li approached the stone table and used his sword to pry open the box. Inside the box were ten stalks of bamboo-like grass that were as thick as a thumb. They were the Common Knotgrass and looked like segments of a finger. It was a very strange sight.
"Is this it?" Li Ruolan asked.
"This is it!" Chu Li nodded in satisfaction. "Have the rest of the spirit herbs been sent here?"
"They've been sent from the Great Light Peak." Li Ruolan nodded. "Are you really confident? I don't think anyone from the herbalist hall has cultivated this before! "
"That's because it's difficult to cultivate." Chu Li said, "They can't, but I can."
Li Ruolan said, "If you fail and disappoint Senior Sister Lu, she'll teach you a lesson!"
Chu Li said, "You didn't tell Senior Sister Lu, did you?"
"Do you think Senior Brother Zhou can bear it?" Li Ruolan scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head.
Zhou Jinchun definitely did not want to see Lu Zhen depressed, so he could not wait to present his treasure.
Li Ruolan said, "If you can really cultivate it, Senior Sister Lu will be very grateful."
"It doesn't matter if I'm grateful or not," Chu Li said. "I'm only helping out because Senior Sister Lu is pitiful."
"Senior Sister Lu has a good impression of you." Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.
Chu Li glanced at her. "Is that funny?"
"I just find it interesting." Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.
She was not wearing a white veil, so the smile on her charming and delicate face made her look exceptionally charming.
Chu Li scoffed. "Just because Senior Brother Ji has someone who likes him, why can't someone like me?"
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore." Li Ruolan stopped smiling. "When are you going to refine the pill?"
"I'll start right away!" Chu Li said. "Have you found the alchemy furnace?"
"I've found the best alchemy furnace!" Li Ruolan nodded. "The mayor's order is quite effective. It's been set up in the courtyard in front!"
"Let's go take a look!" Chu Li picked up the box and walked out.
Li Ruolan brought him to a small courtyard in front. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a black alchemy furnace that was half the height of a person. It was simple and unadorned like a bronze tripod, and it was obvious that it had experienced a long time.
"This was obtained from a Taoist temple," Li Ruolan said. "It's a Taoist temple that has been ruined for a long time, but this alchemy furnace is very sturdy and can still be used."
Chu Li patted the black alchemy furnace, and it let out a clear "clang" sound.
He was satisfied. "Not bad! Bring me the rest of the spirit herbs and a bucket of water. I'll start refining the pill now! "
"Alright." Li Ruolan left the courtyard. Soon, they heard hurried footsteps as Zhou Jinchun and Xin Xin rushed over.
After a while, Li Ruolan brought Lu Zhen over.
Lu Zhen was dressed in a white robe with her left sleeve fluttering. Her face was still pale, but her delicate face was lovely and pitiful.
"Junior Brother Zhao, can you really help me regrow my arm?"
"As long as I can refine the Detachment Pill."
"Alright!" Lu Zhen pursed her lips. "If you can help me regrow my left arm, I'll marry you!"
Chu Li was stunned.
"Junior Sister Lu!" Zhou Jinchun cried out.
Lu Zhen ignored him and stared at Chu Li. "I won't break my promise!"
Li Ruolan tugged at her. "Senior Sister Lu!"
Ji Xin widened his eyes in disbelief.
Although he did not like Junior Sister Lu, many disciples in the Church of Light liked her. There were so many handsome men out there, but she insisted on marrying the ugly Zhao Dahe. Junior Sister Lu must be crazy!
Chu Li looked at Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen said, "Zhao Dahe, do you have the guts to marry me?"
Li Ruolan was annoyed. "Senior Sister Lu, think about it. This isn't a child's play!"
"I've thought about it very clearly." Lu Zhen said, "Junior Brother Zhao is a good man. It's not a bad idea to marry him! Junior Brother Zhao, I'm a man. Even I have the guts to marry him. Are you afraid to marry him? "
"You're not suitable!" Li Ruolan said.
Chu Li remained silent.
Li Ruolan glared at him. "Don't be crazy like Senior Sister Lu!"
Chu Li did not look at her. Instead, he stared at Lu Zhen. "Senior Sister Lu, we're not suitable. Let's start refining the pill!"
He opened the box and picked out four stalks of Common Knotgrass before tossing them into the alchemy furnace.
Lu Zhen stared at him without blinking her bright eyes.
Zhou Jinchun sighed in relief.
Chu Li tossed the rest of the spirit herbs into the alchemy furnace. Then, he scooped some water and started a fire.
The courtyard was instantly filled with smoke. Everyone held their breaths.
Chu Li sat on the cattail hassock in front of the alchemy furnace. "Everyone, get back to work. It'll take a day and a night to finish refining!"
