"Are all these antidote pills?" Li Song asked in a trembling voice, reaching out to pick up a pill from the bucket.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Yes. Have you finished counting the number of people?"
"The people are too scattered. I've only counted a part of them. It may take another hour to finish the rest," Li Song said. Looking at the bucket of pills, he felt for the first time that the people of Li City were saved.
"Do we still need to refine more pills?" Little Ling'er looked at Feng Yuqin and asked. "Mother, I want to continue refining pills."
"Aren't you tired?" Feng Yuqin walked up to her daughter and wiped the thin sweat off her forehead.
"I'm not tired," Little Ling'er shook her head.
Da Bao said, "Little Ling'er, take a break."
Xiao Bao also said, "We feel so bad seeing you working so hard on refining pills."
Little Ling'er giggled. "Actually, you two elder brothers are more tired. You've been always by my side helping me."
Hearing the three children caring about each other so much, Feng Yuqin said with a smile, "Go and take a break first."
Li Song also said, "I didn't know you little guys were busy beside the pill - refining furnace when I came here just now. I was afraid you'd be bored, so I asked someone to prepare some snacks and fruits for you. They're on the stone table in the outer courtyard. How about going there to take a break?"
Hearing about food, Little Ling'er's eyes lit up. She immediately said to Xiao Ying, "Xiao Ying, take me out."
Xiao Ying immediately took Little Ling'er out of the pill - refining room. Da Bao and Xiao Bao also followed them out right away, continuing to act as her protectors.
After sitting down, Little Ling'er didn't eat first. Instead, she picked up two fruits and handed them to Da Bao and Xiao Bao. "Brother, eat."
"Thank you, sister," Da Bao and Xiao Bao said in unison.
Little Ling'er giggled, then picked up another one and handed it to Xiao Ying. "Xiao Ying, you've worked hard today."
Xiao Ying also smiled. "Thank you, little master."
The three children and the spiritual pet sat around the stone table and started to eat.
Inside the room, Feng Yuqin said to Li Song, "Although we're not sure about the exact number of people, we can give these pills to those in serious condition first."
The old man in the black robe walked up to Little Ling'er's pill - refining furnace. There was also a small bucket beside it. Although there weren't as many pills as in Feng Yuqin's bucket, there were still quite a few.
He picked up a pill. After looking at it, he was even more shocked. "The quality of this little girl's pills is better than those we refined."
Hearing this, Old Wu and the old man in the green robe rushed over.
After seeing Little Ling'er's pills, the two of them were completely overwhelmed.
Old Wu even looked at Feng Yuqin eagerly and asked, "Do you take in apprentices?"
Feng Yuqin shook her head. "No."
"Does your daughter take in apprentices then?" Old Wu asked again.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
Li Song and the others: "..."
"My daughter is not even two years old yet," Feng Yuqin looked at Old Wu and said helplessly. "She doesn't understand anything yet."
"But the quality of the pills she refined is better than ours," Old Wu said. "That's why I'm willing to be her apprentice."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin rubbed her temples. "Her situation is a bit special. I refined a lot of pills when I was pregnant with her. Maybe it was prenatal education, so she can refine pills after she was born."
Feng Yuqin paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, she can't really be said to know how to refine pills. Look, she can't control the heat well. Controlling the heat requires spiritual power and divine sense, but her spiritual power is not strong enough yet."
Although Old Wu and the others didn't know what prenatal education meant, they could understand the general meaning from these two words.
Moreover, after hearing that Little Ling'er could refine pills even though her spiritual power was not strong enough, they thought she was even more amazing.
Old Wu said, "She can refine pills that we can't even make before she's two years old. Her future achievements will surely far exceed ours. So we want to be her apprentices."
Feng Yuqin was speechless. "Little Ling'er probably won't agree."
"Why?" Old Wu asked persistently.
Feng Yuqin really didn't want to tell the truth because it was a bit hurtful.
But she thought that if she didn't tell the truth, a person like Old Wu probably wouldn't give up.
So after hesitating for a while, she told the truth. "Because my daughter is a beauty - lover. Your looks are not good enough."
"What do you mean by my looks are not good enough?" Old Wu looked completely confused.
Li Song glanced at Little Ling'er outside and said, "Maybe it means you're not good - looking enough."
Old Wu was stunned. His eyes widened as he asked, "Really?"
Feng Yuqin nodded.
Old Wu: "..."
He could do something about other things, but he was helpless when it came to his looks.
The old man in the black robe and the old man in the green robe originally thought that if Old Wu succeeded, they might also benefit.
But now seeing Old Wu being rejected for such a reason, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
Li Song also couldn't hold back his laughter and tried to suppress it.
"Your family is so good - looking that you're not satisfied with those of us who are not good - looking?" Old Wu, now understanding the meaning of "looks", protested to Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin was also helpless. "Since she was born, all the people around her are good - looking. So she's developed this habit. I can't do anything about it."
Although Chu Tianhe had a full beard, he looked like an otherworldly immortal, with good looks and was very pleasing to the eye.
Chu You looked like a fairy in the mortal world. Her temperament made people can't help but get closer to her.
As for Chu Xiaomian, she was like a little elf who had fallen into the mortal world. She was good - looking, with a lovely personality and was very kind to Little Ling'er.
Feng Yuqin didn't notice this before.
After leaving the valley, she noticed this habit of her daughter.
Even after entering the city, that young man at the store entrance attracted her daughter because he was so good - looking.
If he was not good - looking, Feng Yuqin could guess that her daughter wouldn't even say a single word to him.
Although she thought this was not a good habit and had mentioned it, she didn't think it would be very effective.
But she also believed that if a person was a good person but not good - looking, her daughter wouldn't really ignore them when they were in danger.
However, when it came to taking in an apprentice, even if her daughter agreed, she would definitely choose someone good - looking.
In her daughter's words, it was pleasing to the eye.
Hearing this, if they could have plastic surgery like in modern times, these people would definitely find a way to do it.
They looked at Feng Yuqin eagerly, then shifted their gaze to Little Ling'er outside. Finally, they could only sigh helplessly.
Li An, the city lord of Li City and Li Song's father, walked in at this time.
He saw the three little ones gobbling up food, then his eyes fell on Old Wu and the others.
The dejected look of Old Wu and the others stunned him.
"Father," Li Song saw the city lord and immediately stepped forward.
"What's going on?" When the city lord asked this, his eyes fell on Feng Yuqin in the pill - refining room.
