Chapter 56 -58: Obtaining Thunderstruck Wood
The jujube tree was struck by lightning!
Everyone instinctively looked over, only to see the tree behind the window burst into flames after being struck by lightning, but soon, the heavy rain extinguished it.
Qin Liuxi jumped up and ran to the window to look, what a pleasant surprise, what a pleasant surprise!
Qi Qian and others found it strange, it’s just a tree struck by lightning, yet she seemed as excited as if she had found thousands of taels of gold.
Chen Pi was also incredibly happy, his mouth opened to speak, but glancing at the many people around, he changed his statement to: “Young Master, this tree is really pitiful!”
“Yes, indeed pitiful, we’ll take good care of it soon,” Qin Liuxi nodded solemnly.
The two exchanged a glance, sharing a somewhat sly smile.
Qi Qian: “!”
This felt increasingly strange!
The rain continued for an hour before it finally stopped, and it was getting darker. If they didn’t hit the road now, they would have to spend the night in the wilderness or find a farm to stay overnight.
Huo Lang and others packed up, while Qin Liuxi borrowed some people and tools from Qi Qian, and ran to the back.
“I’ll help you,” Huo Lang volunteered, still mindful of Qin Liuxi’s high praise and wanting to do something in return.

Qin Liuxi didn’t mind and took Chen Pi and him out.
Qi Qian, curious, also followed.
What Qin Liuxi did wasn’t anything special; she just instructed Huo Lang to chop down the slightly charred section of the jujube wood that had been struck by lightning.
“Doctor Qin, what is this?”
As Qin Liuxi saw Huo Lang climbing the tree, thinking he was someone else’s subordinate, she said: “Thunderstruck Wood, you might not find it peculiar, but for us Taoists, Thunderstruck Wood is a rare exorcism material, able to suppress and vanquish evil spirits.” She paused, then added: “Young Master Qi, you wouldn’t compete with me for it, would you?”
She looked quite wary.
Qi Qian coughed lightly: “Of course, I wouldn’t. But since it can suppress evil and exorcise, having a small section as a peace charm would be good.”
Meaning, he wouldn’t fight for it, but wanted a small piece.
Huo Lang chopped down that section of the wood, about the length of half a forearm, and handed it to Qin Liuxi, but Chen Pi took it first.
Qin Liuxi looked at the still intact Thunderstruck Wood, slightly begrudging: “Perhaps the trims and corners can be carved into a small Magic Artifact for you.”
Qi Qian immediately smiled, bowing: “Then I truly thank Doctor Qin for your generosity!”
Qin Liuxi shrugged her nose, looked towards Huo Lang, hesitating whether she should also share since everyone saw it.
But Huo Lang waved his hand generously: “Doctor Qin if you have valuable use for it, I don’t need it. However, if you have something like a peace charm, I’d like to ask for one for my wife.”
Qin Liuxi’s eyebrows raised slightly as she examined his face, laughing: “Mr. Huo, you’re going to be a father, huh?”
Huo Lang was instantly delighted: “You can tell just by looking?”
His wife had just been pregnant for two months when he began traveling with his master, and he hadn’t told anyone, yet Qin Liuxi could tell, which was amazing.
“The Children Palace is full, moist with a glossy appearance, pale yellow with a center purplish, you’re having twins!” Qin Liuxi took out two peace charms from her bosom and handed them to him: “Consider it balancing the karma for you chopping down the Thunderstruck Wood for me. When you return, have your family situate the nursery in the northeast direction; all will be well, and auspicious stars will shine.”
Huo Lang couldn’t contain his joy, accepting them with deep gratitude: “Thank you, Doctor Qin, thank you.”
“No need for thanks, just good karma,” Qin Liuxi waved her hand, gesturing to Chen Pi, and the master and servant pair joyfully walked away with the Thunderstruck Wood.
Huo Lang watched her walk away, excitedly turning to Qi Qian: “Master, did you hear that? The sage said my subordinate is going to have twins!”
Qi Qian glanced at the peace charm in his hand: “Truly happy for you!”
Huo Lang scratched his head with a goofy smile, belatedly realizing, why does the master seem a bit envious?
