[R18] Imperial Master he is addicted to doting on his wife – “The Imperial Master He is Addicted to Doting on His Wife” Hardcore Extra Three [English]

The shopkeeper was a man in his fifties, tall and round, with squinting eyes. Liu Qi offered to buy him a recipe for three thousand taels, but he waved his hand and refused without even looking at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi continued to increase the price until it reached 50,000 taels before looking at he.

He looked at Liu Qi with squinted eyes and asked, “Why do you have to buy my longevity soup recipe?”

Liu Qi closed his fan, looked around, and whispered: “To be honest with my brother, I traveled with my father since I was a child. I have seen many strange things. I also saw this kind of meat soup in the south. I am addicted to eating it and can’t stop eating it.”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled with his beard curled up, “It turns out that you are a fellow-minded person, so come with me.”

The shopkeeper said as he walked towards the backyard, Liu Qi quickly followed.

“No wonder there is one person in your group who is so full of yang energy. I guess he is also a capable person.”

“Hey, my brother has some real skills. There is a reason why he has enough yang energy. His wife just gave birth and can’t do anything. How can he not have enough yang energy?” Liu Qi said with a wink. The shopkeeper understood and immediately smiled.

“That’s rare. Nowadays, there are only a few people who can resist being distracted at times like this.”

When Liu Qi saw he answered, he was not sure whether he recognized Mo Li, so he continued: “No, I can’t stand it. It’s hard not to find a woman for half a month.”

The two of them chatted in the kitchen, and Liu Qi used the jargon of cultivators without any trace to make insinuations. Seeing that the shopkeeper didn’t know this, he knew that the shopkeeper didn’t have any skills, and he didn’t recognize Mo Li’s identity, so he was determined.

The sink in the kitchen is filled with eels the size of an adult’s arm. Several fierce-looking cooks are handling the eels. They are obviously slippery eels.But they were able to catch it accurately, chop off the eel’s head with a knife, and then throw it into a pot of boiling water. The eel was quickly cooked, and another person took it out, mashed it into minced meat, added a ladle of boiling water to cook the eel, and served it.

Liu Qi looked puzzled and asked the shopkeeper: “Is this okay?”

The shopkeeper pointed to the eel in the tank and asked him, “Do you know what this is?”

“Isn’t this just a giant eel?” Liu Qi pretended not to understand.

When the shopkeeper heard what he said, he stroked his beard and smiled, “This is not an ordinary eel, this is a moon eel, which is born from eating the bones and flesh of dead people. Its meat is so delicious that people can’t stop eating it, but it has the effect of curing diseases and extending life, so it is called longevity soup.”

Liu Qi listened to what he said, and then asked after he finished speaking: “Brother has this wonderful recipe, why don’t you dedicate it to the Holy One? Maybe he can get an official position, or even be inferior to the national preceptor.”

The shopkeeper didn’t expect that he would answer like this, so he quickly waved his hand and said: “Such a small trick can’t be put on the table, how can it be done in front of the Holy Emperor and the Imperial Master.”

“Brother is speaking modestly. If the Imperial Master knew this method, wouldn’t he have dedicated it to the Holy One earlier? It can be seen that the Imperial Master is not good enough, and my brother is even better. It is easy to get promoted to an official position.” Liu Qi gave him a high hat, which made the shopkeeper sweat. He didn’t want to tell him that this method was dangerous, so he could just buy it at a high price. But after hearing what he said, he was not allowed to offer the method as soon as he went out. If it made a big fuss, it would be all over!

“Little brother, I don’t know. Although this is a way to live forever, it still has drawbacks.”

“What’s the disadvantage?”

“Don’t say it, don’t say it. If you sincerely want to buy it, don’t ask any more. I’ll sell it to you for a fixed price of 50,000 taels of silver, including the inn’s prescription.”

After hearing what he said, Liu Qi suppressed a smile, crossed his arms and said: “Brother, you are really unkind in your business. You rush to let me take over without explaining anything clearly. If you leave, I won’t have time to cry if something happens.”

The shopkeeper didn’t speak, he was thoughtful. After a long silence, he took him to his study.

The shopkeeper walked around the room for a long time with his hands behind his back, which made Liu Qi’s eyes dazzled. Then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, telling him: “To tell you the truth, there is a lot in the longevity soup.”

The shopkeeper told Liu Qi that when Liu Ke Inn was just a restaurant more than a year ago, the business was not good and he would be able to maintain his basic daily expenses. Later, his wife and child suddenly fell ill.

They saved his wife and children with longevity soup. Later, not only that, they also told him the recipe of longevity soup and helped his shop come back to life. At that time, he really regarded them as living Bodhisattvas and was grateful to them.

It was not until later that he discovered that all those who eat the longevity soup will turn into monsters that are neither human nor ghosts. His wife and children were the first to change. He hurriedly found the group and asked them what was going on. Those people said that there must be gains and losses. This is the price of longevity. They comforted him not to worry, and they were trying to solve this shortcoming.

After he said this, he asked Liu Qi: “I told you everything. Although longevity soup has its disadvantages, people will never forget it. You have seen how prosperous this business is, but do you still want to buy it?”

Liu Qi fanned the folding fan for a long time before answering: “We businessmen value honesty. When it comes to this, it would be pointless for you, the shopkeeper, to hide it.”

The shopkeeper was stunned, slapped his forehead, and said: “Look at my memory, these eels used to make longevity soup are all brought by you guys. I just asked my subordinates to make them and serve them on the table. As for the others, I don’t know.”

The shopkeeper was worried, and he didn’t know if Liu Qi would fall into his trap. He had already thought that instead of pinning his hopes on that group of people, it would be better to take the opportunity to sell the shop to him in exchange for money.He can also take the opportunity to escape and put all the responsibility for the guest inn on Liu Qi and the others.

Liu Qi stood up and walked around twice, and said: “It is true that I am interested in your inn, but business is still business. Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. I don’t have so much silver with me. Brother, I have to let me say hello to the other brothers and see if they are willing to lend me some emergency supplies.”

The shopkeeper immediately felt relieved after hearing what he said, “Okay, you just go and discuss with them, and I will contact the pharmacists and they for you.” The shopkeeper was so confident that the group could agree because he knew that the group just wanted to find someone to look after the inn for them on the surface, and attract as many ordinary people as possible to try the medicine. It didn’t matter who the shopkeeper was.

The shopkeeper was bluffed by Liu Qi. He didn’t know that he was just here to inquire about the information. He only hoped that he would take over the business quickly. The reason why he knew that Mo Li had a lot of yang energy was because his son who was possessed by a ghost told him.

After Liu Qi talked with the shopkeeper, he returned to his room. Daoxu also happened to come back and was talking about the news he had found out from Guhun Yegui.

From the mouths of lonely ghosts, we learned that they can easily possess people who have eaten longevity soup and control their bodies. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as resurrecting corpses, but it does not last long.

After listening to this, Li Li frowned and had a bad guess in his mind. According to these guesses, could it be that resurrecting the dead is the ultimate immortality?

But if that’s the case, why not just use the corpse to resurrect the soul?Why make it so complicated?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Daoxu continue to say: “If a person eats the body of a certain ghost, then it will possess that person and be able to achieve a better fit between spirit and body. If things go on like this, when the ghost adapts to its body, it can completely replace that person.”

Therefore, the lonely ghosts nearby were attracted to Kongyong County, hoping to ask the medicine man to help them be reborn.

Daoxu found out from Guhun Yegui that the pharmacist and his group lived next to the random graveyard in the west. There were five people in total, each with their own abilities. The leader was not from China.
