Lu Jiu looked at her skills. She was satisfied with her archer skills and her magician skills. If she could cast more spells, she would be able to deal with more monsters at once.
“I’m more looking forward to the effect of the Body Tempering Pill that the beautiful shop manager refined. Unfortunately, I ate a few of the Tempered Fruits earlier. If I ask her to refine them, we might have a few more pills.”
Well, the fruit tastes so good and can quench her thirst, but she can’t eat them anymore, even if she has a lot of stock.
Shen Jufeng looked at her tangled useless appearance, and said in a light tone: “I can give you a few, you can eat it.”
After he finished speaking, he took out a few tempered fruits from his backpack. The purple fruits were deeply seductive to the landing wine.
Lu Jiu smiled until her almond eyes narrowed slightly, and she accepted them without any reservation. “Thank you, Deputy Lord, for your generosity.”
Shen Jufeng murmured in his heart: What Deputy Lord, I’m your hard laborer.

It didn’t take long for Lu Jiu to be happy. The next day, Lu Jiu received a request from the NPCs in the city to exchange half of their salary for Body Tempering Pills. The patrolling NPC was even more impressive. They requested to exchange all their salary for a tempering Pill.
Lu Jiu laughed at them. She said that there was no Body Tempering Pill, so she continued to use gold coins to settle the wages.
It wasn’t a joke. She didn’t even see one, but these NPCs were asking for it. As expected, the NPCs were exchanging information with each other. They were all doing their own thing.
After dealing with the NPC, Lu Jiu tidied up and went out. She had to go out with her teammates to clear the field.
When they arrived at the city gate, Zhuang Yun took out a bag and handed it to Lu Jiu: “An’an is getting even better at making plaid backpacks recently. This is the six-plaid backpack she made. She specifically asked me to bring it to you.”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Yun was a little jealous. His daughter made such a good backpack for the first time, but the receiver was not him, the father.
Lu Jiu could not help but laugh when she saw that his eyes were glued to the bag: “That’s amazing. Most of the tailors in the city make handbags because they are highly talented tailors. An’an can go further on this road in the future.”
Good equipment is a must-have. Even if people can’t get out of the woods, a good tailor can get good resources by making high-quality equipment.
Zhuang Yun also thought of this point: “Yes, so I encourage her. If she likes it, she can study. Whatever you do with diligence, you can succeed.”
Everyone in the city respected the shop’s NPCs. Besides being NPCs, they could also produce high-quality equipment and props.
Zhuang Antong was now well known in the city, even though she was not a professional resident.
After Lu Jiu put away her bag, the three of them started to set off. As they walked along the road, she raised her head to look at the huge trees that were already bare. She was a little happy when she thought about the possibility that these trees would produce better-quality tempered fruits in the future.
Zhuang Yun saw her staring at the tree, so he teased her: “If you keep staring at it, it will be bald.”
Somehow, when Lu Jiu heard the word bald, she thought of the uncle who set up a stall of Mediterranean hairstyles. She could not help but laugh.
“When you say bald, I think of that Mediterranean uncle, a few strands of hair stubbornly placed in the middle of that position, Hahaha!”
Zhuang Yun expressed admiration for her brain circuit. He doesn’t know how she connected things to that: “Stop laughing, walk properly.”
Shen Jufeng turned his head, looked at a good snow scene, and slightly sighed.
Their team member was a joyful person.

In Paradise City, Lin Jiang has been kept at home for several days. His body has recovered. His parents have specially found Ke Qun and sent him a lot of grain as a thank-you gift.
They were ordinary citizens, and the most they could give was this.
Ke Qun gladly accepts. However, he was now more focused on the newly opened pharmacy. The new pharmacy was like a golden goose in his eyes.

It has been a while since Lu Jiu adjusted the shield to almost the highest possible temperature, as the weather has been getting colder recently.
The snowstorms were back, the warm sunshine was like a thing of the past, and now they have to deal with bad weather.
Lu Jiu was standing in front of the French windows. There was so much snow that it almost fell in a ball. To be safe, she asked the residents in the city to work two hours at noon to shovel snow.
The streets were cold again. Most people were at home watching the snow like a TV show, but there were still some who didn’t.
Fortunately, department stores began to sell some can-play props, such as Go, poker, Mahjong, and so on.
Winter was half over, but no one knew how long the storm would last.
Suddenly a mail came, and the pharmacy manager said the Body Tempering Pill was out.
Lu Jiu was amused. She used the teleport tunnel directly and went to the pharmacy. She was such a luxurious person. For convenience and stealth, she set up a teleport tunnel at a few places in the city that she frequented.
The pharmacy manager was already waiting for her. Lu Jiu walked up to her: “Where are the elixir pills?”
The manager handed her a small bottle containing five elixir pills the size of soybeans: “This is the Body Tempering Pill. Because the tempered fruit is low-grade, the quality of the elixir pill is also low-grade, but it’s still useful.”
Lu Jiu looked at the bottle of elixir with strange feelings: “Eat this can enhance the skill attributes?”
The manager shook her head: “It doesn’t have that much effect. The Body Tempering Pill focuses on adding up the small to the big. Once your physique and mental strength have improved, your skills will naturally increase. It’s not what you think.”
Lu Jiu realized: “Well, that’s a good thing too. Are these 5 yours?”
The manager took out several other bottles, which were filled with Body Tempering Pill: “This is mine. You don’t have to take it often. You can take 2 or 3 pills a week. Right now, its effect on you is probably to eliminate fatigue and make you feel refreshed right away.”
Lu Jiu put away the bottle: “You focus on making this elixir for the time being, and not on those available on the shelf. Accumulate a certain amount first before we make an announcement.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jiu with Body Tempering Pill went back to her residence. Then she sent two pieces to Shen Jufeng. He gave her tempered fruits before, so she asked him to try it out quickly.
Shen Jufeng was practicing calligraphy in the room, he had just recently solved a trivial affair, so he was practicing a word to meditate.
He didn’t expect to receive a mail from Liu Jiu. Looking at two Body Tempering Pill, he chuckled and directly took out one to eat.
In an instant, he felt like his tiredness and powerlessness was swept away. He was clear-headed, but now, he was not in the wild. Otherwise, he wanted to release skills to try.
He responded with an e-mail.
It works well, I suggest you try it now.
Liu Jiu quickly replied: “I’ve already eaten, and I feel very clear-headed now, which is good.”
It felt like the whole world was bright. Her brain worked faster than ever, and she remembered things that happened to her when she was a kid.
She should have forgotten all that.
She also recalled the time when she first met Shen Jufeng. She did not notice those details before, but now, they became clear in her memories. At that time, the other party’s gaze had been scrutinized from the beginning to the later part.
