For someone like Lu Beixue, who appears cold on the outside 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 unable to scold her, nor could he bear to hit her.

To prevent his Dao heart from completely collapsing, 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 placed the Qi Gathering Elixirs from the storage bag into his own storage bag.

Then he handed the storage bag back to Lu Beixue.

"Dao Companion Beixue, thank you for bringing the elixirs."

"You're welcome."

"Ahem... well, it's getting late, 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 Companion 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 and returned to his small wooden house.

Lu Beixue was not the clingy type.

Although she wanted to 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, and returned to the Falling Snow Residence.

Li Qinghai sat cross-legged on his bed.

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

There were indeed quite a lot of these elixirs.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

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

Luckily, he left 200 for Lu Beixue.

Otherwise, he would truly become a medicine jar.

Huh?

Oh right.

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

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

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

I wonder what realm I'll reach after consuming 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 began meditating and cultivating.

A moment later, Lu Beixue returned to 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 laughter was somewhat sarcastic.

She frowned.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hehe, I'm laughing 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 wanted to take advantage of the situation to continue mocking her.

"Look at you, going out late 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 originally Li Qinghai's, and you were the one who insisted on helping him refine them. It's not wrong for him not to give any."

The Golden Elixir Granny chuckled lightly, "He's not wrong, 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 cultivators get 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 wanted to 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 confusion, and her Dao heart faintly ached at this moment.

The Golden Elixir Granny was delighted.

Good.

Now Lu Beixue should be completely 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 becoming more and more distressed, the Golden Elixir Granny quickly offered a word of comfort.

"Beixue, you can't force feelings. Besides, don't you want to become 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 wanted to cultivate, she couldn't calm her mind right now.

So she decided to look at some cultivation manuals.

Lu Beixue opened her storage 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 affection, then what is?!

Instantly, Lu Beixue's gloom was swept away.

A slight smile appeared at the corner 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 storage bag to the Golden Elixir Granny.

The Golden Elixir Granny frowned. Was there something wrong with the storage 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 can't fool me, the Golden Elixir Granny.

Just wait, I will definitely expose your true colors.

With nothing left to say, the Golden Elixir Granny silently vowed and then floated back into the necklace.

Lu Beixue displayed 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 storage bag and swallowed them.

Indeed, the Qi Gathering Elixirs given by Li Qinghai had a different taste, a sweet flavor.

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 become 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.
