After a satisfying meal, the servants quickly cleaned up the leftover food. Everyone, having nothing to do, gathered together to chat. Yan Lang specifically asked about the school. He had a tattoo on his face, making it unsuitable for him to walk around outside, but he was a restless person. So, in the morning, while familiarizing himself with the surroundings, he happened to see the newly built school and thought about temporarily becoming a Master there.
"Uncle Yan, don't joke. With your talent, being a Master is a gross underutilization."
Upon learning of his idea, Shen Xiangwan was both amused and speechless. Considering Wei Chengyi had just taken control of the Military Power, he needed people familiar with military affairs to assist him. Yan Lang's many years of experience as a Military Advisor and local official were far beyond what a small school could accommodate. They wouldn't bury such talent.
"Do you think I *want* to be a Master?"
Hearing this, Yan Lang glared at her before pointing to the tattoo on his face and sighing helplessly, "As long as this thing is on my face, I can't move freely in the military. Even just going outside will attract people pointing and gossiping, making normal activities impossible."
Not only him, but all the adult men in the Yan Family had tattoos on their faces, including Yan Junling. Even if Wei Chengyi could find a way to turn them into exiled commoners and get them out of the Exile Camp, there was no way to remove the marks that had long been branded on their faces. For the rest of their lives, they would have to bear this humiliation.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiangwan smiled nonchalantly, "Tattoos are nothing. I have a way to help you remove them."
"What?!"
Almost instantly, everyone in the Yan Family exclaimed in unison, their mouths slightly agape, their eyes wide as they stared at her. Did they hear correctly? Could she really remove the tattoos on their faces?
"Wanwan?"
Seemingly guessing something, Wei Chengyi turned to look at her.
Reaching out to interlock their fingers, Shen Xiangwan said to Yan Lang and the others, "Don't you wonder how my mother and I were able to transform so quickly? I developed a potion. After the first dose, it not only removes impurities from the inside out, but it also repairs internal injuries, making ordinary people stronger, Martial Artists even better, achieving longevity and extending lifespan. The tattoos on your faces are all Post-Heaven injuries; they can be removed after taking the potion."
Shen Xiangwan didn't keep them guessing, directly explaining the method. When Wei Chengyi returned injured, she decided to use the Spirit Well Water to further enhance their strength. This time, she would not only help the Shen Family remove their facial tattoos, but she would also have all the bodyguards take the Spirit Well Water. Only when everyone became stronger would their safety be more secure.
"Really?"
Yan Lang excitedly jumped up, his eyes wide as saucers. Could he really escape the humiliation of the facial tattoos and reappear in public with honor?
"Mmm."
Nodding in response to his questioning gaze, Shen Xiangwan paused before continuing, "I heard that you once suffered a Dan Tian injury, unable to gather True Qi, and your Martial Arts skills plummeted as a result. If my estimation is correct, the potion I developed can not only remove the tattoo on your face, but it can also repair your past injury, allowing you to become an Innate Grandmaster again."
"Re-really?"
If Yan Lang was shocked before, now he was terrified. His wide eyes were bloodshot. No one knew better than him the difference between falling from an Innate Grandmaster to a Post-natal Martial Artist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Military Camp to become the Prefect of Pengzhou, nor would he have ended up like this, framed by a traitor and exiled to the Border.
"Wanwan, can the potion you developed really repair past injuries?"
On the other side, Ji Shaohan asked in rare seriousness. Few people knew that his wife, Yun Mengyi, had once suffered a very serious injury. Although her life was saved, she lost her ability to bear children, which is why they still had no children.
As a Martial World Person, he didn't value children as much as ordinary people, but he knew his wife was always very sad, longing to have her own child. If Wanwan's potion was really that effective, could his wife's body be restored?
"It should be possible."
Turning to meet his gaze, Shen Xiangwan didn't speak with absolute certainty, "Currently, only Chengyi, my mother, and I have used the potion. None of us have suffered serious injuries, so I can't accurately judge, but I estimate the effect won't be too bad. Let's try it and see."
She certainly knew the effects of the Spirit Well Water, but she hadn't used it many times. If she spoke too confidently, how would she answer their questions? Since they were all going to use it anyway, they should get the answer soon enough.
"Okay, then give me and your Mistress a dose as well."
After staring deeply at her for a long time, Ji Shaohan looked away. At some point, Yun Mengyi, who had been sitting beside him, reached out to hold his hand, her eyes brimming with tears. She knew he was asking for her sake. Martial Artists age much slower than ordinary people, and even though she was over forty, if her past injuries were truly repaired, she could still become a mother. She really wanted to have the crystallization of their love, even just one.
"Good."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan got up, "Let's not delay. Let's try it right away. Chengyi, gather the bodyguards who are resting. They need to take the potion in batches as well."
"Mmm."
Having already guessed that she would mention the bodyguards, Wei Chengyi didn't refuse. All the bodyguards were brothers who had fought alongside him; he also hoped they could become stronger.
"Master, Mistress, Uncle Yan, please wait a moment."
Having said that, Shen Xiangwan didn't wait for their response before leaving the Main Hall.
"Wushuang, ask the Kitchen to boil more hot water. It should be useful later."
Zhao Yuping, who had once taken the Spirit Well Water, quickly ordered, still remembering the stench of the impurities being expelled from her body.
"Yes."
Zhou Wushuang didn't ask any questions and bowed before leaving. They, as close-attendants, all knew that Second Master and Madam were capable. A small Yong'an Village certainly couldn't contain them, but she never dreamed that Second Master had already interfered with the Military Power in Chen Zhou. Although it was somewhat treasonous, she felt a surge of excitement. If the current ruler weren't incompetent, how could her husband have been exiled, and how could her children have all died tragically on the Exile Road?
On the other side, Qingying, who had been waiting in the room, didn't need Wei Chengyi to give specific orders. He respectfully whispered a few words in his ear before leaving. They had long known that Second Master and Madam's strength had increased after taking the potion and had been waiting for this moment. Only by becoming stronger could they better protect Second Master and Madam, preventing a repeat of the last incident where several people were lost at once.
