Dongmen Weilan was still struggling with her thoughts.

She wasn't a child; in fact, her childhood escape had made her more mature than her peers.
She had learned early on the dangers of the Jianghu and that everything came at a price.
A young man wouldn't give a young woman a gift worth tens of thousands of taels of silver for no reason; usually, he would have ulterior motives.
As the only surviving descendant of Wandu Valley, Dongmen Weilan had long been labeled a demonic figure. Most people avoided her, and although her martial arts were now flourishing, they were still no match for Lu Jingyuan.
As for money, Dongmen Weilan was practically penniless.
Looking at it this way, besides her appearance, Dongmen Weilan couldn't figure out what Lu Jing could possibly want from her.
As for the Wandu Guizong manual, Lu Jing had indeed expressed interest, but he had only helped her cultivate step by step, without showing any urgency.
Thinking of this, Dongmen Weilan couldn't help but feel confused.
But Lu Jing continued, picking up another package of medicinal herbs from the ground and introducing them, "Muscle Strengthening and Body Building Soup. You have a bath tub, right? If not, it doesn't matter, I bought you one. Use it every three days, pour all the herbs from the package into it, and soak in it for half an hour.
"Zhu Fruit Snake, this snake is produced in the Western Regions, feeding on Zhu Fruit that grows on cliffs. Take its gall and swallow it to help you increase your cultivation. Although it's not much, each snake gall can only increase your cultivation by about half a month, but every little bit helps. There are four of them in here. You can eat one every ten days. As before, I'll buy you more when Duobao Pavilion restocks."
Dongmen Weilan swallowed, "This snake…"
"This snake isn't expensive," Lu Jing interrupted again, "Because it has side effects. There's a cold poison in the snake gall, but since you cultivate the Wandu Guizong, the cold poison in the snake gall is also a tonic for you, so you can eat it without worry.
"If you don't mind the fishy smell, you can also drink some snake blood. Although it's not as effective as the snake gall, people from Duobao Pavilion say it has some effect."
"Oh."
"Also, do you drink alcohol?"
"No, drinking alcohol will interfere with things and make my mind unclear, and I need to stay clear-headed, even if it causes me pain," Dongmen Weilan clenched her fist, her gaze firm.
"Then, starting today, you have to learn to drink a little," Lu Jing kicked a wine jar at his feet, "Seven Treasure Honey Wine. It's quite strong, but it can expel impurities from your meridians. There are twenty-four jars in total. Finish them within a month. After you finish drinking them, you'll find it much easier to break through your acupoints."
"In addition," Lu Jing finally pointed to a basket of black things, "There are also mulberries."
"What are these mulberries for? Can eating them increase my cultivation or improve my cultivation speed?" The girl's spirit was lifted.
"No, these are just ordinary mulberries," Lu Jing said, "I passed by Uncle Wu Han's vegetable garden and he gave them to me. I brought you a basket to try them."
"Oh." Dongmen Weilan blushed.
Mainly because Lu Jing had spread so many things all over her small courtyard that she was dazzled, and subconsciously thought that the mulberries placed with those things also had some mystery.
After introducing all the items he had purchased this time, Lu Jing did not forget to add, "Since you are from Wandu Valley, there should also be pills in Wandu Valley that can assist in cultivation, right? If you still remember the recipe, you can tell me the medicinal materials you need, and I will buy them for you and you can practice yourself. Don't worry, I won't steal your pill recipe."
Dongmen Weilan was completely dumbfounded.
After a long while, she reopened her mouth and said, "How much money did you spend buying all this stuff?"
"Two hundred thousand taels," Lu Jing gritted his teeth, "But it doesn't matter, I have money. You don't need to worry. As long as it's useful for your cultivation, I can buy it for you."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he originally thought that Dongmen Weilan would decline, and he was already prepared to persuade her to accept this generous gift.
In fact, it was not difficult to persuade Dongmen Weilan. Lu Jing knew where her biggest weakness lay.
She had never been able to let go of the destruction of Wandu Valley, so as long as he made a fuss about revenge, Dongmen Weilan would easily submit.
However, before Lu Jing could speak, he saw the girl nod as if she had made some determination and said, "Okay, I'll write the recipe for you. You can help me buy some more medicinal materials, and when I've refined the pills, I can share half of them with you."
"That's not necessary," Lu Jing said quickly, "Just refine enough for yourself to eat."
Dongmen Weilan's gaze towards Lu Jing was somewhat complicated. After a moment, she plucked up her courage and said, "Mr. Lu, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'm just cooking. Why don't you stay and eat together?"
"Uh, okay."
Lu Jing had been busy all day for the sake of the Martial Scripture, and it was now dinner time. Although he was a little surprised that Dongmen Weilan suddenly asked him to stay for dinner, he still had some cultivation matters to instruct the girl on, so he stayed down.
However, when Dongmen Weilan brought out the food, Lu Jing regretted it.
He looked at the two bowls of white porridge and a plate of green vegetables on the table, unsure of how to start eating.
"Is this what you usually eat?"
The girl nodded, "I prefer a lighter taste."
"This isn't a matter of light or not. If you want to practice martial arts and take revenge, you have to eat more meat, eggs, and milk," Lu Jing said, "How about this, I'll send you two more pigs. If you can't finish them, you can make them into preserved meat and hang them up."
"Okay." Dongmen Weilan nodded, so well-behaved that Lu Jing was a little unaccustomed to it.
Then Dongmen Weilan moved over a jar of Seven Treasure Honey Wine, broke open the mud seal, and without saying a word, lifted the jar and poured it into her mouth.
Lu Jing only heard a series of gulps, and by the time the girl put down the wine jar, it was already half empty.
