I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 250 - 248: Rescue

Li Xing snorted coldly, tied up the already reptilian Three-Eyed Worm with Yueqi Silk, threw it aside, waved to collect the top-grade Spirit Stone, and then ran over to check Yang Zhou’s condition.

Yang Zhou was half kneeling on the ground, eyes closed, head drooping on his chest, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Yang Zhou’s consciousness hadn’t recovered yet, and this time, Li Xing easily stuffed the pill in.

Although the time being parasitized by the Three-Eyed Worm was not long, a portion of Yang Zhou’s vitality had already been plundered. His originally jet-black hair was now gray, and faint crow’s feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Fortunately, Yang Zhou was still young, with his physique and Primordial Spirit at their peak. The current aging was just a temporary phenomenon. With proper rest and recuperation, the lost vitality could naturally recover, but for at least a year, he must not heavily exhaust his Primordial Spirit.

As the Heavenly Essence Pill took effect, the external injuries on Yang Zhou’s body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he awoke from unconsciousness.

"Principal, how do you feel?"

Yang Zhou exhaled a heavy breath after a while and looked up at her. At this moment, the Transformation Potion’s effect had worn off, and Li Xing had reverted to her own appearance.

"I won’t die."

Yang Zhou sat heavily on the ground, feeling mixed emotions in front of his most promising student. Time truly flies; the little one who used his employee meal card to snatch meals had grown into a strong individual capable of rescuing him from misery.

"Li Xing, how did you know I was in distress?"

"Zhao Yi and Zheng Qi couldn’t reach you and noticed that your life signs were fluctuating greatly, so they came to me for help."

"I see. Where are those two? Surely they wouldn’t let you risk coming to the City Lord Mansion alone, right?" Yang Zhou’s tone was a bit cold.

"Of course not, they’re standing guard outside, let me call them in!" At Li Xing’s shout, Zhao Yi and Zheng Qi staggered in.

The two originally thought Li Xing called them in to bid farewell to Yang Zhou’s remains, and their tears had been prepared, only to see Yang Zhou sitting perfectly unharmed on the ground. Their emotions soared from the valley to the peak as they rushed over to embrace Yang Zhou, shouting and yelling.

"Adviser Yang, you’re not dead, not dead—!"

"I knew Miss Li would save you!"

"Li Xing! No, no, no, boss, I, Zhao Yi, am yours from now on, you ask me to fight dogs, I’ll never chase chickens!"

The weak Yang Zhou used all his strength to push the two drag queens away, painfully turned his face to Li Xing and asked, "Were those two girls following you just now, them?"

"Yes."

No doubt, Li Xing had surely invented some incredible potion that had made Zhao Yi and Zheng Qi disguise so well that not even he recognized them.

"You two quickly change your clothes, revealing shoulders and chests, what kind of appearance is that!"

At this point, Zhao Yi and Zheng Qi realized they had reverted to men, yet were still wearing maid dresses, and their strong physiques were about to burst the size S women’s clothing, indeed ridiculous.

While they went to the corner to change clothes, Yang Zhou whispered to Li Xing, "What method did you use to get the Three-Eyed Monster Cicada out of my body?"

"High Energy Stone."

Li Xing picked up the Three-Eyed Worm with its wings torn off, held it in her palm and placed it in front of Yang Zhou.

Yang Zhou was shocked: A Three-Eyed Monster Cicada? And still alive!

"Since humans like Elemental Power, according to my hypothesis, the Three-Eyed Worm which chooses humans as hosts must also like it. So I took out several Energy Stones to stimulate energy to lure it; fortunately, the Three-Eyed Worm indeed abandoned your body and flew out on its own."

"So in the future, when encountering an Elemental Spirit who has gone berserk after consuming a Holy Pill, this method can be used too?"

Li Xing shook her head, "No, you were saved entirely because the Three-Eyed Worm had only been in your body a short time and I happened to have many high-grade Energy Stones."

A whole Qiankun Box of top Spirit Stones, equivalent to the energy of four or five Spirit Veins, was able to lure it out; besides Li Xing, who else on the Qianyuan Continent has such capital?

After hearing Li Xing’s explanation, Yang Zhou nodded, then apologized, "I’m sorry to trouble you, how many Energy Stones did you use, I’ll compensate."

"Principal, talking money with me is too distant."

Yang Zhou chuckled, "I never thought I’d hear you say this. How are you planning to deal with this worm?"

Li Xing pinched the Yueqi Silk, lifted and dangled the crawling Three-Eyed Worm in her palm like a yo-yo.

"Principal, you already have one, let me have this one. Although I don’t have a world-class lab, I have some rustic methods, who knows, might discover something different."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Zhou nodded in agreement. Li Xing’s brain is too smart; anything is possible.

Just then, Zhao Yi and Zheng Qi, restored to the Freedom Army attire, came over.

"Adviser Yang, Zhou Wu said people from the Elder Council have arrived, Commanding Officer Chu Ying might not withstand the pressure, asking what to do."

Yang Zhou’s expression was a bit panicked, "Chu Ying? Why is she here?"

Li Xing answered offhandedly while operating a light brain, "Without the commander’s help, how could we eliminate the City Lord Mansion’s tumor? Principal, don’t be aloof, quickly send the commander a message, first to report safety, second to serve as a witness to indict Xue Han, see how he can still argue!"

Li Xing said and then set the light brain to video mode, dialing Chu Ying’s communication number. Yang Zhou was thus caught off guard, facing Chu Ying directly.

"Uh... cough, cough, it’s me."

————————

Led by Chu Ying, five thousand well-equipped, well-trained soldiers surrounded the City Lord Mansion tightly.

Xue Han, unwilling to be outdone, gathered the elite guards of the City Lord Mansion at its gates, confronting Chu Ying.

Two hours ago, many posts criticizing the City Lord Mansion suddenly appeared online, true and false mixed, and some even accused him by name as the leader of the Zhuxian Cult. The post quickly went viral, occupying the federal headline.

Xue Han, having left the meeting room, received a report from his subordinates, was shocked. He wanted to go out to find someone to delete the posts and suppress public opinion, but Chu Ying brought people to block the door, preventing further deployments and arrangements, making Xue Han sweat profusely.

"Chu Ying, I’ll say it again, I’ve never seen Yang Zhou, you can’t use online conspiracies as evidence to search my City Lord Mansion!"

Chu Ying sneered, "Without solid evidence, I wouldn’t have come. Xue Han, half a year ago, second lieutenant Pang Tai of the First Army, unfortunately died while executing a task. It has now been ascertained, his death was not accidental, but murder, perpetrated by three guards under you."

"Xue Han, I advise you not to obstruct the First Army from apprehending the culprits. Either let us in to seize them, or proactively hand them over. Otherwise, I’ll arrest you too!"

Thanks to the posts sent by Qian Xiaowu, after continuous forwarding and supplementing by netizens, a plethora of information was gathered, unexpectedly solving a pending case.

In order to seek justice for his soldiers, for Yang Zhou’s personal safety, Chu Ying was determined today to turn the City Lord Mansion upside down.

At this moment, a shout came from afar: "Chu Ying, are you rebelling—!" Jiang Hongfei brought the Elder Council’s guard squad, looking at the two forces on edge, his face grim.
