Free Web NovelJu Meng came to the apartment's balcony, gently snapped her fingers, and the pure silver dish filled with "moonlight" flew up, landing steadily in her palm.
Lu Yibei watched the magical liquid in the pure silver dish and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
"You should have heard the term 'source spirits', right? This stuff is very low-purity source spirits, sometimes called secondary source spirits in some places."
"Mm." Lu Yibei softly replied. She had not only heard of it but also seen it, having seen it that night at the Hua Yu Sunshine Resort Hotel.
"After Sister I start operating later, just watch me show off obediently from the side, don't mess around, okay? If anything goes wrong and someone dies from eating it, I won't provide after-sales service."
Lu Yibei was startled, "What the heck? This stuff of yours can kill people if they eat it?"
"Relax, it's a low-probability event. If something really happens, at worst I'll give you a resurrection armor and turn you into a urban legend." Ju Meng waved her hand at Lu Yibei, saying alarming things casually.
If she was already a urban legend, what would happen if something went wrong? Lu Yibei muttered inwardly but said no more, stepping aside to wait quietly.
Even if it was a low-probability event, it still made her feel flustered. After all, she didn't have the luck to win the lottery, but she always came first when getting into trouble.
Seeing Lu Yibei quiet down, Ju Meng took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, holding the silver plate with one hand. With the other hand, she successively took out various ingredients from the express box delivered by the little Magpie, vibrated them into dust using Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and put them into the full dish of secondary source spirits.
The dust floated like impurities in a expanse of pure silver-white, quickly taking on a faint glow.
As various ingredients were continuously added, the semi-illusory liquid seemed to boil, with bubbles rolling and surging upwards, yet unable to escape. They could only break gloomily, bursting forth with starlight-like dreamy and brilliant light.
Watching the dreamily glowing liquid, Ju Meng's gaze suddenly became serious. She softly chanted a few unintelligible incantations under her breath, and the liquid flew up from the silver dish without a single drop left behind, suspending in front of her and condensing into a sphere.
Her hands slowly approached the sphere from both sides, stopping less than a finger's distance away. With a soft "hiss", emerald green flames suddenly rose. Under the heat of the flames, the volume of the sphere shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually solidifying and turning into exceptionally pure liquid.
Just as the sphere's volume shrank to half, Ju Meng withdrew one hand and lightly tapped her brow. Immediately after, her fingertip drew a wisp of faint light, as fine as hair, from her brow.
The faint light slowly drifted down from the air, transforming into a slender bird feather.
Every barb on the feather, which seemed cast from pure gold, was delicate and perfect, showing no flaws. From it came waves of whispers containing complex information, slowly merging into the sphere.
Lu Yibei followed the trajectory of the falling feather with her gaze and saw that the sphere was stained with gold and silver colors. They intertwined with each other, yet were exceptionally clear.
...
Suppressing her nervousness, anticipation, and a bit of timidness, Lu Yibei waited quietly, watching the liquid with constantly rising bubbles. For some reason, she suddenly thought of obese otaku happy water.
Maybe it would be very tasty... Just as that thought, particularly in line with the national characteristics of the Great Foodie Nation, flashed through her mind, Ju Meng's Alchemy ritual also approached its end.
The faint whispers that had been coming from it gradually faded away. The emerald green flames wrapped around the outside of the liquid suddenly extinguished, and the spherical liquid slowly fell. Ju Meng held the silver dish and gently scooped it up, collecting all the liquid without missing a single drop.
"It's done!" Ju Meng turned her head and grinned. "How about it, don't you think Sister I am amazing? Do you have anything you want to say?"
After speaking, she looked at Lu Yibei with a smug expression, seemingly waiting for her to express words of praise and admiration.
As a deity, her vanity was still quite strong.
"Hmm..." Lu Yibei pondered for a few seconds and said, "Coach, I want to learn Alchemy!"
It looked like cooking with relatively advanced techniques, the kind where 'I can do it too' applies.
"Anything else? Don't you have anything else to say?" Ju Meng slightly furrowed her brow. "Alchemy isn't something you can learn in a day or two."
"Hmm... Is it considered risk-free now?"
She still felt, somehow, a bit concerned about that low-probability event.
Ju Meng, whose expectations were dashed, twitched the corner of her mouth and cursed inwardly, Damn that steel straight man!
At a time like this, shouldn't you be praising a girl from top to bottom, inside and out, from her skills to her beauty to her character?
Thinking this, she said to Lu Yibei without a pleasant expression, "There are basically no problems, but to avoid any accidents, I still need to ask again, is there any history of hereditary diseases in your family?"
"Huh?" Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment. "Why do you ask that? Will this stuff trigger the expression of family hereditary disease genes?"
"No, I just asked casually." Ju Meng shrugged indifferently.
Just to scare you. Ju Meng added inwardly, and then handed the silver dish to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei stared at the liquid, which had a texture like mercury and shimmered with a faint golden light. She hesitated for a moment but had no intention of drinking it all at once. Instead, she turned and walked towards the room.
"Maotuan (Hairball), Maotuan (Hairball), where are you? Come here for a moment, I need you for something!"
Perhaps because Lu Yibei had generously shared the core of a urban legend's body last time, Maotuan (Hairball) heard the call and quickly ran out from a dark corner, floating in front of her.
"De... Adult, what's up?"
"You taste this." Lu Yibei said, dipping a little of the potion with her fingertip and handing it over.
This kid actually suspects I poisoned it? How much does she not trust me?! Ju Meng thought.
It wasn't a matter of trusting or not trusting her, but mainly worrying that her production process had flaws. Lu Yibei thought.
Maotuan (Hairball) hesitated for a moment, its body wiggled, and slowly extended a terrifying mouthpart covered in barbs from its thick fur, which coiled around the liquid on her fingertip.
Although it felt a bit scared of the potion Ju Meng had concocted, when the sovereign commands death, the subject must die. How could it dare to disobey the Devil Woman's command?
Lu Yibei, "..." When did it grow something like that? It's quite scary. It won't bite the neighbors when it wanders around, will it?
"..." After swallowing the potion, Maotuan (Hairball) was silent for a few seconds, then spoke as if nothing was wrong, "No problem, it's very tasty, cool and refreshing, a bit like cold brew tea."
"Oh..." Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully, staring at Maotuan (Hairball) for about a minute before speaking, "Alright, there's nothing else for you here, go play!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
After speaking, she picked up the silver dish and drank it all in one gulp.
The next moment, intense pain surged over her.
In that instant, Lu Yibei's body twitched violently. In places unseen within her body, a massive amount of information wrapped in energy split apart from her abdominal cavity, like a million-strong army encircling her from different directions, rushing straight up to her head, causing her consciousness to become momentarily dazed.
Didn't it say there was no problem and it was very tasty? How...
As she thought, she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground. Then she saw Maotuan (Hairball) not far away, spitting black foam from its mouthpart.
Lu Yibei, "..."
"Looks like the potion is taking effect, hmm, quite good!"
Ju Meng's words came from beside her ear. A ripple slowly drifted through the air, and the scenery in her vision warped and twisted as if melting.
Massive amounts of information seemed to pour into her brain frantically, and it felt like the sound of bursting bubbles echoed in her consciousness.
Could my brain be exploding from Lu Xu's memories? This thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind.
Immediately after, she saw Lu Xu's past days.
Starting from those childhood memories forgotten by time, digging forward and continuously extending, there was a brief blank period during the time from junior high to high school.
Following that was the awkward time of first entering university. Finally, she saw the particles of mysterious creature's blood from the bamboo slip piercing Lu Xu's fingertip and merging into his body.
So... he never had a girlfriend?
What about changing several girlfriends a year? Was it just changing from left hand to right hand, and right hand to a cup?
Ju Meng that Smelly Girl lied to me again?!
Before her consciousness fell into silence, such a thought popped into Lu Yibei's mind.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When Lu Yibei woke up again, she only felt exceptionally mentally exhausted, as if she had stayed up several nights in a row, yet her body felt full of energy.
She slowly opened her eyes, and Ju Meng's delicate and small face came into view. "You're awake? The surgery was very successful, now you're a beautiful girl!"
"??"
"!!!"
Within just a few seconds, Lu Yibei's emotions went from confusion to panic. She abruptly sat up and examined her body, finding no visible abnormalities, which made her sigh in relief.
"Don't worry!" Ju Meng sat beside her and patted her shoulder, saying, "Fever, nausea, and fainting are all normal reactions. You absorbed it quite successfully. How about it, have you mastered that kid's knowledge now?"
Lu Yibei carefully savored the memories obtained from Lu Xu. She found that these memories were not like those from Pharaoh, Liang Yue, and others, which would affect her emotions. Then she nodded.
"No problem, I feel like I can write ten papers of the level the Professor assigned me now!"
"Look how proud you are! {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Savor it well, Sister I am going online to play team battles." Ju Meng rolled her eyes, got up to find her laptop, and went to battle in games.
Honestly, Ju Meng is really addicted to the internet and can grind exceptionally hard. Moreover, she's a true "immortal", the kind who can be online 24/7. The reason she gets beaten is just a little bit of experience, and a whole lot of currency.
Lu Yibei watched Ju Meng walk away without changing her expression, then slightly narrowed her eyes.
From Lu Xu's memories, as long as she injected the mysterious animal blood from the bamboo slip into her body now, she would have the last chance this month to enter the Bamboo Scroll Illusion tomorrow night.
But...
Isn't tomorrow night the school anniversary party? There's no exact time, and she doesn't know if it will clash with the speech. Lu Yibei thought worriedly.
