However, what she didn’t know was Lin Xi wasn’t refusing due to the recipe’s value.
He believed even if Princess Consort Le got hold of it, she couldn’t make it.
Buying it would be akin to waste paper.
After all, aside from rare materials, excellent alchemy skills are required.
Such things are rare even in Secret Realms during this era.
"Could you sell me a few?" She inquired again, this time with faint anxiety and anticipation.
Firstly, worried Lin Xi wouldn’t sell, secondly worried he didn’t have any left.
The effectiveness was simply too astounding.
In just a few hours, her injuries healed completely.
In her sect, such recovery was incredibly exaggerated.
Lin Xi shook his head again, "None left!"
Of course, that was a lie.
But why should he sell?
He hadn’t intended to sell when making those pills.
Though they were barely effective for him, he wouldn’t sell.
Given the energy and resources required for alchemy.
Princess Consort Le hesitated for a moment and then doubtedly asked again, "No way?"
"I only need ten!"
Ten could equal ten lives!
"Really don’t have any!" Lin Xi insisted.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"You’re not lying? Five will do actually!"
"Not one left, let alone five!"
"Three?"
"Two?"
"One?"
Princess Consort Le kept asking repeatedly.
She was truly unwilling to give up!
She sighed deeply, intending to organize her thoughts to ask again, but couldn’t find the words.
"Maybe she’s too greedy," she silently pondered.
At that moment, the coffee and dessert were served.
While sipping and nibbling, Princess Consort Le asked again, "What’s your strength level?"
This was a point of interest for her.
Lin Xi smiled, not hiding, "Early Innate Stage!"
Le heard this and froze, followed by a flicker of disappointment.
She initially had a favorable impression of Lin Xi and thought he was excellent.
But afterward, her interest waned a bit after his answer.
To her, Lin Xi was boasting!
Innate?
That’s impossible!
Lin Xi didn’t care whether she believed him and curiously asked, "Why did that person target you last time?"
This wasn’t out of concern for Princess Consort Le but for Xiaoxian and Susu!
After all, the two would be learning with her!
If trouble came visiting again, what then?
If he wasn’t around, they’d be in danger.
Even with some strength.
Their combat skills would certainly be weak, no doubt about it.
"Are you worried about your girlfriends?" Princess Consort Le retorted.
Lin Xi nodded.
"You needn’t worry, there’s no danger for a month or two!" She assured,
"After Le Tian was injured, he’ll need at least over two months to recover!"
"Only then will he seek me again!"
"But by then, I won’t be here!"
"So, there’s no need to worry, and about who he is, I can’t tell you!"
"Some secrets are involved!"
Lin Xi didn’t insist, though he wasn’t entirely relieved by her reassurances.
There are too many uncertainties in this world!
The next moment, a small porcelain bottle appeared in his hand; he handed it to Princess Consort Le, "This is for you!"
