Chapter 161: Seeking Medicine

Chu Tiankuo said to Xingnong, “You try to mobilize your internal energy and show me your Light Body Skill.” He had to see how far her understanding of the Light Body Skill technique had progressed.

Xingnong nodded, “Okay.”

Songbai covered his face upon hearing this, unable to bear watching his master’s foolishness.

It seemed he still had to give some pointers!

Otherwise, when would the two of them make any progress?

Just as Xingnong was about to leap onto the roof, Songbai hurriedly stopped her, “Young Master, wait.”

Xingnong would change back into men’s clothing upon returning to Star Garden.

Both Xingnong and Chu Tiankuo turned to look at him.

Songbai said, “Young Master, let me take you flying once and demonstrate the techniques of using Light Body Skill.”

After saying that, Songbai reached out to grab Xingnong.

Chu Tiankuo glanced at him coldly.

Songbai retracted his hand as if frightened, “Master, your Light Body Skill is excellent, why don’t you teach?”

Then he said to Xingnong, “Young Master, Master will take you flying first, so you can experience it.”

Xingnong nodded, “Okay!”

Chu Tiankuo rolled his eyes at Songbai and looked at Xingnong.

Xingnong extended her hand, “Senior Brother, will you take me first?”

Chu Tiankuo looked down at her outstretched hand, then reached out and took it.

It was very cold.

He unconsciously tightened his grip, wanting to warm her, “Let’s begin.”

As if their hearts were connected, they mobilized their internal energy together and flew up simultaneously.

Songbai glanced at the two holding hands, his lips twitching. They didn’t even know how to carry and fly!

Unbearable to watch!

So foolish!

Chu Tiankuo explained the techniques of mobilizing internal energy for Light Body Skill while taking Xingnong leaping and darting across the various courtyards of Star Garden.

Actually, Xingnong had already mastered many of the key points of Light Body Skill, but she was limited by her insufficient internal energy and couldn’t fly.

However, she could run very fast, extremely fast!

Now that her internal energy had increased, she could use Light Body Skill very well without Chu Tiankuo’s instructions.

Chu Tiankuo flew a circle with Xingnong, and seeing that she had mastered it well, he let go and let her practice on her own.

“You chase me!” Chu Tiankuo said, then quickly used Light Body Skill to leave.

Xingnong instantly chased after him.

The two chased each other in this vast residence.

Shen Nan’s expressionless face remained unchanged, but his eyes were wider than usual, “Young Master is so amazing!”

Usually, when he saw Miss Xingnong practicing Light Body Skill in the morning, jumping and leaping, she only jumped a little higher, leaped a little farther, and ran a little faster than ordinary people.

But now, with only a month’s worth of internal energy, and not even cultivated by herself, she could instantly use it with such ease.

Could this talent and comprehension be considered useless?

Only those who understood martial arts knew how amazing she was!

After all, even with someone else’s powerful internal energy, one had to know how to use and control it.

Songbai nodded proudly, “Young Master is not an ordinary person.”

Miss Xingnong was not a person, she was a god!

Who could learn formations for just over a month and break the Three Great Formations?

Only her!

Formations were so difficult, yet she learned them so quickly. Martial arts must be as easy as a child learning to eat for Miss Xingnong!

It’s just that her physique was weak, and being able to accept a third of Master’s internal energy was probably her limit. It would likely leak out later.

He used to admire Master the most in this world, but now there was one more: Miss Xingnong.

The two were truly a match made in heaven!

A perfect pair!

The late autumn night sky was deep and vast.

The bamboo in the bamboo forest rustled under the cold autumn wind.

Two black figures entered the bamboo forest, one after the other.

They faced each other, both masked.

One said, “It’s a beautiful autumn night tonight.”

The voice was magnetic and low, slightly youthful.

The other replied, “Perfect for romance.”

The voice was deep, steady, and slightly mature.

The youthful voice asked playfully, “Prime Minister, what is the matter that requires such an urgent meeting?”

“I need the Heart-Protecting Pill and Muscle-Regenerating Pill from Divine Doctor Zhao of Zhao Kingdom.”

The youthful voice laughed, “Those are both heirlooms of the Divine Doctor’s family. You sure know how to ask, Prime Minister, and you want two at once. I can’t get my hands on those.”

The Divine Doctor’s family of Zhao Kingdom had four legendary pills: Soul-Soothing Pill, Heart-Protecting Pill, Muscle-Regenerating Pill, and Antidote Pill.

These four legendary pills were developed by an ancestor of the Divine Doctor’s family. However, due to a calamity that befell the family, either the recipes had been lost or the herbs required for their production had become extinct, making it impossible to create them again.

Currently, the Soul-Soothing Pill, one of the four legendary pills, had been lost because the Soul-Soothing Herb could no longer be found. Only the Heart-Protecting Pill, Muscle-Regenerating Pill, and Antidote Pill remained, and there was only one of each. They had been preserved for over a hundred years, and the Divine Doctor’s family refused to sell them, no matter who offered or how much silver they offered.

Although the four legendary pills could no longer be produced due to the extinction of herbs or the loss of recipes, the descendants of the Divine Doctor had developed substitutes. Although these substitutes were not as miraculous as the legendary pills, their effectiveness was unmatched by any other medical family in the four kingdoms, and they came with a hefty price tag.

“Consider it payment for what happened back then.” The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital said that Liyuan’s injuries could only be healed with the Heart-Protecting Pill and Muscle-Regenerating Pill from the Divine Doctor’s family.

The Heart-Protecting Pill could protect the heart. It was said that even if someone’s heart stopped, they could be revived by taking it.

The Muscle-Regenerating Pill had the miraculous effect of regenerating muscles and connecting bones. It could bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones.

Of course, rumors might be exaggerated, but when people were in need, they were willing to believe that the effects of these legendary pills were not overstated.

Now, the imperial physicians said that only by taking both pills simultaneously could Liang Liyuan be saved!

Therefore, he had to obtain them.

The young man in black shook his head, “Prime Minister, you’re asking for two legendary pills at once. That’s too big a reward! I can’t afford it! Besides, didn’t you benefit from what happened back then? Don’t forget, how did the Liang family gain their immense power, and how did the Director-General of Grain Transport and the Song Family Porcelain Kiln become so wealthy?”

“As long as you help me get those two pills, I will definitely reward you. If you can’t get them, you can also help me connect with Divine Doctor Zhao. I can personally plead with him. The reward I offer will not disappoint you.” Prime Minister Liang only had this one legitimate son, whom he treasured dearly. He disliked his illegitimate sons, so naturally, he would spare no effort to save his legitimate son’s life!

The members of the Zhao Kingdom Divine Doctor’s family had always been very mysterious and were under the protection of the Zhao Kingdom’s royal family. Currently, no one knew where they lived. If anyone wanted to find them, it was usually through connections with the Zhao royal family.

“Divine Doctor Zhao has always disliked seeing people, but I can connect you with him, Prime Minister. However, you also have to do a few things for me.”

“Alright, tell me!”
