The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Ji Fengyan did not know how long she had been unconscious. She only felt someone pouring something into her mouth. She involuntarily opened her eyes and suddenly saw a pair of aged eyes.

“Who are you?” The moment Ji Fengyan opened her eyes, she saw a white-haired old man who looked to be over fifty-years old. A bitter taste still lingered in her mouth and she immediately raised her hand to her lips to wipe away some still-warm liquid.

The old man was slightly taken aback. He still held a bowl of medicine, but when he saw that Ji Fengyan was conscious, he said, “I am the physician that Second Master Ji asked to treat Ninth Mistress.”

Someone hired by Ji He?

Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly and felt that this was indeed a good joke.

“That won’t be necessary. You may leave.” Ji Fengyan said.

The old man obediently left the room without lingering.

Ji Fengyan sighed lightly. Before she had lapsed into a coma, she had felt very ill because of the violent shock to her inner core. She knew this was due to overexertion and knowing that she could not carry on; she had allowed Linghe to send her back to the Ji home. After recuperating overnight, she could regain consciousness.

However, when Ji Fengyan checked the state of her inner core, her examination took her by surprise.

“How did this happen?”

Yesterday, she had overexerted her inner core’s strength and this should have further damaged her already crushed inner core. Logically, her inner core should have been in a miserable state. She was prepared to use the Tree of Flowing Bloodshed to recover her inner core after she had awakened.

However…

Ji Fengyan clearly felt that not only was her inner core not exhausted, it had regained its strength without her knowledge. Many of the cracks on the inner core had even been recovered!

“Would Ji He really be so kind?” Ji Fengyan fantasied.

The old man had said that Ji He had asked him treat her. Ji Fengyan thought that this point alone was extremely funny.

Except for Ye Yuan, the entire Ji family would prefer that she dies an early death. Would they be so kind as to rescue her?

But her inner core had inexplicably recovered…

Ji Fengyan pondered the matter for a while and looked at the medicine that was still on her hand. It had not yet dried up and she lifted her hand to her nose and sniffed it.

“Nothing special.” The medicine smelt common, and Ji Fengyan could guess the ingredients almost immediately.

It was more like Ji He to provide the cheapest, most common medicinal herbs.

Ji Fengyan clearly understood that her inner core could not have recovered without some extraordinary medicine;If not, she would have already been wildly refining elixirs and consuming them.

She could not understand why her inner core had suddenly recovered by itself. Ji Fengyan could only get off the bed and stretch herself, hoping to quickly bring out the Tree of Flowing Bloodshed and absorb it while she was in good shape.

Although Ji Fengyan searched her entire room, she could find no trace of the Tree of Flowing Bloodshed.

“Perhaps Brother Ling brought it back to the barracks?” Ji Fengyan was rather perplexed. She thought that Linghe had brought her back to the Ji house, so the item should naturally have been placed in her room.

But…

Ji Fengyan searched for a long time and was just thinking about whether she should ask Linghe when Ji He heard that Ji Fengyan had regained consciousness and hurried over immediately.

The moment Ji He entered the door, he put on a smile and with a great show of concern, he said to Ji Fengyan, “Fengyan, you have not yet fully recovered, why are you in such a hurry to get out of bed? Shouldn’t you rest?”

Ji Fengyan raised her brows at Ji He and looked as if she had seen a ghost.
