The Complete Collection of Basic Medicine Formulas?
Xie Zhiyu was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t expected to receive something this good.
However, she didn’t click to use it immediately, because she was busy dealing with the aftermath of the forced PK.
Zou Mu’s livestream had been banned. With no more excitement to watch, some viewers left, but most of them stayed.
In the end, more than 54,000 people remained in her livestream. However, some of them were still die-hard fans of Zou Mu, and they were currently flooding her livestream with vicious attacks.
Xie Zhiyu was kept busy, blacklisting all those who were deliberately causing trouble.
She even took a moment to glance at the current viewer count. When she saw that it was still above 50,000, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her blacklisting was quite effective, and the livestream became much cleaner.
The comments were scrolling even faster than before. Everyone was still immersed in the PK between the two.
Zou Mu’s pained expression had frightened everyone at first, and then his livestream had been banned. Since many people hadn’t seen what happened afterward, they kept asking her about the man’s fate.
Xie Zhiyu saw the questions and answered, “Him? Because he lied, the Heavenly Dao brought down a lightning punishment on him, completely dispersing his cultivation. Even if he cultivates again in the future, he’ll probably never be able to break through to Foundation Establishment.”
That was what the system had told her.
Although this world’s Heavenly Dao was still relatively weak, dealing with a Qi Refinement peak cultivator was still effortless.
The lightning punishment represented the Heavenly Dao’s rejection of him. From now on, he could only watch others advance rapidly in cultivation while feeling envious and jealous.
She said it casually, but the others couldn’t help feeling amazed.
【Guozi: As the chief disciple of a hidden sect, he was actually defeated by the streamer. And not just defeated—completely crushed. Why do I feel like I’m dreaming? Are people from hidden sects really this easy to beat?】
【Crispy Shark: You’re overthinking it. I’ve watched so many livestreams that I can tell you cruelly: in every other livestream, the streamers are practically licking the boots of those hidden sect people. This is the only livestream where the streamer is actually powerful enough to deal with a hidden sect effortlessly.】
【Ugly Fish: It’s us ordinary people who are pitiful, though. Streamer, is there any way you can help us get rid of the effects of the curse? Please…】
……
Xie Zhiyu noticed the last comment.
“Sure. You haven’t been practicing that formula for very long, so the effects on your bodies aren’t that serious. You just need to switch to a different formula.”
She spoke cheerfully. “You can look for recordings made by my fans from my last livestream. I taught a cultivation formula for free in those recordings. I can’t say it’s absolutely number one, but there probably isn’t a sect whose formula is more effective than the one I taught.”
Her tone sounded modest, but to many people, it came across as arrogant.
【Yuan’an: Does it really work? And a cultivation formula taught for free… I have a bit of PTSD now. Could the streamer’s formula also contain something bad?】
【Shizi: Same here. I don’t even dare touch these cultivation formulas online anymore. I’m afraid I’ll be secretly sabotaged while reciting one and not even know it. Sigh, it’s really hard for ordinary people these days.】
【Xiu: Actually, things are already pretty good in Huaguo. People in other countries have it even worse. At least we have the government looking after us.】
……
Seeing how discouraged everyone in the livestream had become, the old fans couldn’t stand it anymore.
They all stepped forward to vouch for the streamer.
【An’an Eats Watermelon: Don’t worry. Our Work Sis is the most conscientious streamer on the entire internet. I’m still reciting the formula she gave us even after awakening my spiritual root. My spiritual energy absorption speed is even faster than before. There’s no way it’s bad.】
【Back and Forth: Exactly. I awakened my spiritual root because I practiced the formula Work Sis gave us. Otherwise, I’d still have to beg those hidden sects to help me awaken. Work Sis is my great benefactor.】
【Sincerity Brings Miracles: All I can say is that even ordinary people can feel comfortable after reciting this formula. That’s what my grandmother said.】
……
With the old fans vouching for her, the atmosphere in the livestream changed instantly. Quite a few people immediately went searching for the cultivation formula.
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Xie Zhiyu smiled and instructed the vines beside her to hold the phone. She then lowered her head and continued scattering seeds.
The spiritual energy in her body could only stimulate seven or eight seeds at most. So although she had been able to harvest them within seconds at first, she now had to wait for the Spirit-Gathering Stone to slowly stimulate their growth.
With nothing to do in between, she simply leaned against the vines and chatted with the people in her livestream.
It was like an emperor casually flipping through memorials.
【Lanlan: Streamer, streamer, can you sell those Truth Talismans? I want to buy one.】
Xie Zhiyu: “Not for now.”
【Guagua Gua Gua: Streamer, are those moving plants around you really intelligent lifeforms?】
Xie Zhiyu: “Yes. I didn’t Photoshop them.”
【Xiaoxiao Yue: Why do the seeds you plant grow so fast? Can you teach me how to grow them?】
Xie Zhiyu: “Just apply spiritual energy to the seeds, and they’ll sprout and grow rapidly.”
……
Her answers carried an indescribable sense of humor, and the livestream was filled with laughter.
Halfway through the conversation, she felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the “little tomato” that had previously smacked her in the head and took a bite.
A sweet-and-sour flavor instantly spread through her mouth. At the same time, the spiritual energy she had expended gradually began to recover.
After doing physical labor until she was genuinely exhausted, she took bite after bite. Even when the Venus Flytrap and the vines came over, trying to secretly steal a bite, she swatted them away.
She looked up strangely at the two plants lying beside her.
“Aren’t you all the same kind? How can you shamelessly eat your own kind?”
She couldn’t bear to watch the two plants rolling around on the ground and acting spoiled, so she sighed and, unable to harden her heart, took out two tomatoes for them.
She muttered, “Freeloading all the time. Is being a plant really that happy?”
It was making her want to become a plant too.
She glanced at the two plants devouring the tomatoes and then looked away, only to discover that the livestream viewers had started acting spoiled as well.
【An’an Eats Watermelon: Waaah, Sis, I want some too. Can you give me a bite?】
【Huaihuai: I want some too +1. You can tell from the look of these tomatoes that they have a high spiritual energy content. Maybe one bite would be enough to awaken a spiritual root.】
【Ugly Fish: Streamer, are these tomatoes for sale?】
……
Speaking of selling things, Xie Zhiyu, who had just finished eating and was wiping her hands, finally remembered the important matter.
“I sold five spiritual roots earlier, right? How about I put some more spiritual roots up for sale later?” She waved her hand grandly. “As for these tomatoes, I’ll also give three away to old fans.”
Remembering how her old fans had repeatedly complained that they could never buy anything, she decided to give them a little benefit. She immediately opened a five-minute lucky red packet giveaway, but only people who followed the livestream and had a fan badge of Level 4 or above could participate.
The fan badges on Yinfu livestreams leveled up according to viewing time. The level requirement she had set was just right—only long-time fans could participate.
The old fans were delighted.
【Back and Forth: Luckily, I came during the last livestream. Otherwise, my level wouldn’t be high enough.】
【An’an Eats Watermelon: Why does even some rich young master have to compete with us?】
【Back and Forth: You don’t understand. Even food outside containing just 1% spiritual energy costs tens of thousands. Work Sis’s tomatoes obviously have much better quality. I’m not an idiot.】
【Guozi: We’ve achieved a world where only the old fans are happy. Waaah, I only activated my fan badge today. I can only drool while watching you guys draw the giveaway red packets.】
……
Although the newcomers couldn’t get the tomatoes, they certainly didn’t hold back when it came to the spiritual roots.
The five Earth-grade low-quality spiritual roots that had just been listed disappeared instantly.
The newcomers wailed about not being able to get any. But immediately afterward, Xie Zhiyu silently put up another batch.
The grayed-out product page lit up again. A product pop-up appeared, and everyone instinctively clicked on it. Before they even realized what they were doing, their fingers had already clicked the purchase button.
Sold out instantly again.
While everyone pretended to complain that the streamer hadn’t given them any warning, one of the people who managed to buy one suddenly made a shocked announcement.
【Guozi: Guys, am I seeing this wrong? Why did I just buy an Earth-grade high-quality spiritual root?】
Everyone: ???
They were slightly stunned and hadn’t even had time to react when Xie Zhiyu answered, “That’s right. The batch I just put up was Earth-grade high-quality spiritual roots. There will be three more Human-grade low-quality spiritual roots later.”
“If everyone wants to switch to higher-grade spiritual roots, make sure you’re prepared in advance.”
What? There are still Human-grade low-quality spiritual roots?
Before anyone could say anything, everyone in the livestream opened the product page and quietly waited for it to light up again.
On the other end of the phones, some people’s breathing gradually grew heavier, some were completely focused, while others had already awakened their spiritual roots and were leisurely watching the drama unfold.
Regardless of what expressions they wore, none of it could compare to the product that went out of stock immediately after being listed.
In Q City, Jiang Xiaoxuan, who had managed to grab another one, jumped up excitedly.
She immediately threw her arms around her parents, who were sitting beside her.
“Dad, Mom, you have spiritual roots now! And I even managed to get you Human-grade low-quality spiritual roots! Hehe, aren’t you going to praise me?”
She hadn’t expected to get one either. After all, there were more than 50,000 people in the livestream now. Three spots out of 50,000—the odds were practically the same as winning the lottery.
Yet somehow, she had gotten one through sheer luck.
Thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoxuan giggled foolishly, already imagining the wonderful future where all three members of her family could cultivate.
Hearing this, Jiang’s father and mother exchanged a glance. They were touched, but also found her reaction somewhat amusing.
“Look how happy you are.” Jiang’s mother lightly tapped her forehead. “But although you managed to get one, your father and I aren’t planning to absorb this Human-grade low-quality spiritual root.”
Jiang’s father nodded beside her.
The two of them had only started watching the livestream today. Although they already completely trusted Xie Zhiyu, they had their own considerations.
“You absorbed an Earth-grade low-quality spiritual root before, right?” Jiang’s father said. “Your mother and I are both getting older. Whether we can cultivate or not isn’t that important. But for you, a Human-grade spiritual root is even better than the one you have now. Give the best one to you.”
Jiang Xiaoxuan froze. “But—”
Before she could finish, her father stopped her.
“That’s the decision. Your cultivation is the most important thing right now.” Jiang’s father said, “As for us, you don’t need to worry. Starting today, your mother and I plan to practice the formula taught by this streamer and see if we can awaken spiritual roots on our own.”
It wasn’t that he was reluctant to spend the money.
The spiritual roots sold in Xie Zhiyu’s livestream were extremely cheap. Even a Human-grade low-quality spiritual root only cost 998 yuan. The problem was that there were very few of them, and anyone who managed to get one was simply lucky.
He didn’t want to waste this spiritual root. Although he also wanted to cultivate, as he had said, he and his wife were already in their forties and fifties. No matter how they looked at it, this opportunity shouldn’t go to the two of them.
Knowing that her parents were giving up the spiritual root for her sake, Jiang Xiaoxuan was deeply moved. She leaned her head against her mother’s shoulder and acted spoiled.
Meanwhile, farther away from A City, in C City.
Inside a dilapidated apartment, a boy of around fifteen or sixteen stared blankly at the words “Payment Completed” displayed on his phone.
The sound of a key unlocking the door came from outside.
He raised his head and saw his exhausted mother walking in.
“Xiaoyuan, how did things go today?”
As she spoke, his mother set down the bag in her hand. But when she looked up, she unexpectedly saw the boy’s reddened eyes.
His mother froze. She hurried over and gently wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
“What happened? You still haven’t awakened? It’s okay. One cultivation formula really can’t change much. If it doesn’t work, I’ll think of another way to find a different formula for you.”
The boy, Su Yuan, shook his head.
He didn’t tell her about the curse Zou Mu had placed in the cultivation formula before. Instead, he only told her the good news.
“Mom, I bought a spiritual root.” He grinned. “I won’t have to recite any more cultivation formulas from now on. Once the spiritual root arrives, I’ll be able to cultivate.”
In the past, in order to awaken his spiritual root, he and his mother had scraped together one million yuan to buy a cultivation formula.
But they had never expected that the formula would contain a curse.
Jiang Yuan, who had thought he would never be able to awaken a spiritual root in this lifetime, suddenly found his situation taking an unexpected turn.
He had managed to purchase an Earth-grade high-quality spiritual root from Xie Zhiyu’s livestream, which meant that he now had the qualifications to cultivate.
Thinking of this, all the bitterness and sorrow he had endured in the past seemed to disappear.
A single spiritual root could change the difficult circumstances he and his mother were currently facing.
Overcome with joy, he couldn’t help but embrace his mother and cry tears of happiness.
Xie Zhiyu livestreamed for nearly three hours. Once she saw that most of the seeds had been planted, she took the initiative to end the livestream.
She clapped her hands, carried a basket of ingredients downstairs, and ignored the system’s notification sounds.
There was only one thing on her mind.
“I can finally refine the Body-Tempering Pills.”
