For someone like Lu Beixue, ears cold oside but is passionate like fire on the inside, Li Qinghai could barely resist the temptation.

  But Lu Beixue's heart was entirely devoted to him, and she treated him exceptionally well.

  Even the Qi Gathering Elixirs, which are extremely important for Qi Refining cultivators, she gave all of them to him.

  This really left Li Qinghai defenseless.

  Li Qinghai could feel his Dao heart beginning to shatter once again.

  Lu Beixue, oh Lu Beixue, you truly are the crusher of my Dao heart.

  Looking into Lu Beixue's eyes, as clear as autumn water, Li Qinghai found himself uo scold her, nor could he bear to hit her.

  To prevent his Dao heart from pletely colpsing, Li Qinghai decided to employ the strategy of retreat as the best option.

  If he couldn't provoke her, he could at least avoid her, right?

  Li Qinghai quickly pced the Qi Gathering Elixirs from the ste bag into his own ste bag.

  Then he hahe ste bag back to Lu Beixue.

  "Dao panion Beixue, thank you fing the elixirs."

  "You're wele."

  "Ahem... well, it's getting te, and I'm suddenly feeling quite sleepy. I think I should go to bed early. Let's meet another day when you have time, and I'll invite you to the Green Bamboo Residence."

  "Alright."

  "Then... Dao panion Beixue, good night."

  After saying this, Li Qinghai swiftly closed the door.

  He let out a slow sigh.

  This time, the shattering of his Dao heart was quite severe, and it would take some time to stabilize it again.

  Li Qinghai shook his head auro his small wooden house.

  Lu Beixue was not the gy type.

  Although she wao spend more time with Li Qinghai and talk a bit more, since he was avoiding her, she could only leave.

  She took out her flying sword, soared into the sky, auro the Falling Snow Residence.

  Li Qinghai sat cross-legged on his bed.

  He stared at the 200 Qi Gathering Elixirs ie bag, slightly dazed.

  There were indeed quite a lot of these elixirs.

  Even if it were a regur health supplement, it would take several days to e them all.

  Luckily, he left 200 for Lu Beixue.

  Otherwise, he would truly bee a medie jar.

  Huh?

  ht.

  He seemed to have fotten to mention it to Lu Beixue.

  But it wasn't a big deal; she would naturally find out when she used her ste bag.

  Speaking of which, I'm currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

  I wonder what realm I'll reach after ing these elixirs.

  Let's just take a few to calm my nerves.

  Li Qinghai took out a few Qi Gathering Elixirs and put them in his mouth.

  Then he begaating and cultivating.

  A moment ter, Lu Beixue returo the Falling Snow Residence.

  She was a very diligent girl, and as soon as she returned, she sat cross-legged on her bed.

  Just as she was about to start cultivating, the Golden Elixir Granny floated out.

  "Hehe..." The Golden Elixir Granny chuckled.

  Lu Beixue felt that the ughter was somewhat sarcastic.

  She frowned.

  "What are you ughing at?"

  "Hehe, I'm ughing at how your sincere heart was fed to the dogs."

  Lu Beixue didn't want to discuss this topic with the Golden Elixir Granny.

  But the Golden Elixir Granny clearly wao take advantage of the situation to tinue mog her.

  "Look at you, going out te at night to personally deliver the elixirs. And what happened? He accepted all the elixirs and didn't want to give you even one?"

  Lu Beixue was a bit angry and defended Li Qinghai.

  "Those spiritual herbs were inally Li Qinghai's, and you were the one who insisted on helping him refihem. It's n for him not to give any."

  The Golden Elixir Granny chuckled lightly, "He's n, but it's clear he doesn't like you. He might even dislike you!"

  "You're talking nonsense! Li Qinghai doesn't dislike me!" Lu Beixue was a bit anxious.

  The smile on the Golden Elixir Granny's face grew wider.

  "Doesn't he? Think about it, even an ordinary friend would give a few elixirs to express gratitude, right?"

  "And Li Qinghai didn't give you a single one."

  "Also, do you think we cultivatet sleepy at this hour?"

  "He clearly doesn't want to see you."

  "Isn't that aversion?"

  "If you insist on deceiving yourself, then I have nothing more to say."

  Lu Beixue bit her lip gently.

  She wao refute the Golden Elixir Granny's words.

  But it seemed she couldn't refute them at all.

  Does Li Qinghai really dislike me that much?

  Lu Beixue fell into fusion, and her Dao heart faintly ached at this moment.

  The Golden Elixir Granny was delighted.

  Good.

  Now Lu Beixue should be pletely disheartened.

  It's better to have a short pain than a long one.

  Refining elixirs for Li Qinghai this time was indeed a wise choice.

  Seeing that Lu Beixue's expression seemed a bit off, as if she was being more and more distressed, the Golden Elixir Granny quickly offered a word of fort.

  "Beixue, you 't force feelings. Besides, don't you want to bee stronger and challenge Ye Fan? Focus on your cultivation."

  The Golden Elixir Granny's words had some effect.

  Her hatred for Ye Fan diluted Lu Beixue's current sadness.

  However, even if she wao cultivate, she couldn't calm her mind right now.

  So she decided to look at some cultivation manuals.

  Lu Beixue opened her ste bag, intending to take out a manual.

  Suddenly, she froze.

  Qi Gathering Elixirs!

  There were Qi Gathering Elixirs!

  A full 200 of them.

  Who said Li Qinghai didn't like her?!

  He was willing to share such precious elixirs, giving her half.

  If this isn't affe, then what is?!

  Instantly, Lu Beixue's gloom was swept away.

  A slight smile appeared at the er of her mouth!

  The Golden Elixir Granny was taken aback by the sight.

  Something wasn't right here.

  Why did it seem like Lu Beixue's infatuation had deepened?

  "Beixue?" The Golden Elixir Granny called out.

  With a hint of smugness, Lu Beixue tossed the ste bag to the Golden Elixir Granny.

  The Golden Elixir Granny frowned. Was there something wrong with the ste bag?

  She took a look inside.

  The Golden Elixir Granny was stunned on the spot.

  Qi Gathering Elixirs!

  This...

  Lu Beixue snorted softly, "Granny, what do you think it means that Li Qinghai gave me so many Qi Gathering Elixirs?"

  "......"

  The Golden Elixir Granny's face twitched.

  She was momentarily at a loss for words.

  With Li Qinghai's limited perspective as a small cultivator, how could he possibly give away 200 elixirs?

  Could it be that Li Qinghai truly had feelings for Lu Beixue?

  Impossible.

  Absolutely impossible.

  Li Qinghai, you might be able to fool a little girl like Lu Beixue, but you 't fool me, the Golden Elixir Granny.

  Just wait, I will definitely expose your true colors.

  With nothio say, the Golden Elixir Granny silently vowed and then floated bato the neckce.

  Lu Beixue dispyed a victorious smile.

  Now that her mood had improved, she could focus on cultivating.

  Lu Beixue took out a few Qi Gathering Elixirs from the ste bag and swallowed them.

  Ihe Qi Gathering Elixirs given by Li Qinghai had a different taste, a sweet fvor.

  If the Golden Elixir Granny could hear Lu Beixue's thoughts, she would surely be so angry that she'd spit out old blood.

  Since when did they bee Li Qinghai's Qi Gathering Elixirs?

  These Qi Gathering Elixirs were clearly refined by her.

  Even if they were sweet, it was due to her superior alchemy skills, not Li Qinghai's doing.
