Ji Jiuying strolled leisurely down the street, while a drama was unfolding in the square not far away. People walking along the street stopped in their tracks, and Ji Jiuying was no exception.

The actors on stage brilliantly portrayed the stories of ancient heroes and beauties, dressed in gorgeous costumes, their facial expressions exaggerated yet vivid.

However, the ending was tragic. The protagonist, Jingxin, was rescued by the general and later married him. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Enemy troops invaded and captured Jingxin to blackmail the general. For the sake of the greater good, Jingxin forced the general to shoot her. After the enemy troops retreated and the situation stabilized, the general was heartbroken by the loss of his beloved wife and finally chose to resign and leave the court.

"I have not failed the country or the world, but I have failed you." This sentence floated into Ji Jiuying's mind.

"What a fine line, 'I have not failed the country or the world, but I have failed you.'" A gentle, refined male voice rang out.

Ji Jiuying turned around and looked at the man, who was dressed in black, with skin as white as snow, a clean and handsome face with a strong masculine presence, gentle eyes, and a warm smile. It was as if he was surrounded by an aura of tranquility and peace.

Gentle as jade, refined and otherworldly, what a handsome, ethereal man.

However, compared to that man, I'm still a bit lacking. Speaking of which, I wonder if that man found the medicinal herbs... Ugh, why am I thinking about him?

"My name is Ye Qingchen. May I ask how you should address me, young lady?" Ye Qingchen asked politely.

"Feng Wan." Ji Jiuying put aside her thoughts and didn't intend to tell him his real name, speaking calmly.

Looking at her calm expression, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He wondered if she would remain so calm if she knew that he had known everything about her all along.

Ye Qingchen smiled and said gently, "Does Miss Feng also enjoy watching such tragic dramas?"

"dislike."

"The male and female protagonists prioritized the greater good and the well-being of the nation and its people, and were forced to make this difficult choice. How many people in reality could do that?" Ye Qingchen stared intently at her.

"Life is like a play, and drama comes from life."

Ye Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Miss Feng is truly insightful. I wonder if I may have the opportunity to invite Miss Feng for a drink?"

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, Young Master Ye, I have other things to do. Please excuse me."

"good."

Seeing her wary and defensive expression, Ye Qingchen felt somewhat helpless.

Ji Jiuying didn't want to argue with him, so she quickly left.

Today's main task is to help Wen Chuyu reconnect her meridians as soon as possible. There are still half a month until the Genius Competition, and she still needs to go to the Monster Forest to return before the competition.

Before long, they arrived at the Wen residence.

Ji Jiuying got straight to the point, "Patriarch Wen, Young Master Wen, I plan to have my meridians reconnected in one go. Please find a quiet place where I won't be disturbed."

"Miss Feng, you mean it can be done today?" Wen Chuyu asked in surprise, her voice trembling slightly.

"Yes," Ji Jiuying replied affirmatively.

Her earnest and affirmative answer was like a ray of light shining into his life.

Wen Chuyu was extremely excited, his heart pounding with joy, and his ecstasy was beyond words.

“But it’s a Heaven-grade Bone-Regenerating and Blood-Melting Pill…” Wen Chao looked a little uneasy. He did know a Heaven-grade alchemist and had already written to him. He estimated that the alchemist wouldn’t be able to reach the capital today. The final step in connecting the meridians was the Bone-Regenerating and Blood-Melting Pill.

"Elder Wen, you don't need to worry about the pills!" Ji Jiuying knew his concerns.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Could it be...? Impossible, this is impossible. At only thirteen or fourteen years old, to call him a Heaven-level Alchemist is something no one would believe.

"Could it be that you really are..." Wen Yan asked excitedly.

"It all depends on whether you believe me or not." Having said that, it's up to them whether they believe me or not.

Wen Yan looked at Wen Chao. They had all witnessed Miss Feng's medical skills firsthand, and besides, there are always people more skilled than you.

"Miss Feng, come with me!" Wen Chao didn't say much, letting his actions speak for themselves.

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow and followed them, arriving at the same place she had visited before: the Wen family's treasure vault.

This time, however, Wen Yan twisted something resembling a kerosene lamp on the stone wall, and slowly a stone door appeared. A rich spiritual energy rushed out from inside, and Ji Jiuying was somewhat surprised, as it was actually a spirit-gathering array.

Although it's called a spirit-gathering array, the room has everything one would expect, so it seems this is what the Wen family uses for breaking through and advancing in rank.

"Miss Feng, is this place alright?" Wen Yan asked.

"That would be best. Pharmacist Liu and An Yi stay here, and the rest of you can wait outside!" Ji Jiuying said indifferently.

"Miss Feng, may I stay?" Wen Longxiu looked at Ji Jiuying and added, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you. I just want to watch you refine pills."

Wen Longxiu is an alchemist who is obsessed with alchemy. However, there are very few Heaven-level alchemists in Cangyue Kingdom. Although her grandfather knew one, that person was extremely rare, and she had never witnessed a Heaven-level alchemist refining an alchemy.

Ji Jiuying had some affection for Wen Longting and Wen Longxiu, so she agreed without thinking.

After handing the elixir to Ji Jiuying, Wen Chao left, closing the stone door behind him.

Ji Jiuying immediately handed the elixir over to Wen Longxiu to handle.

"Dark One, the usual rules."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chuyu's face flushed red. Although it wasn't the first time he had received treatment like this, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Ji Jiuying sighed and silently turned away. "People from ancient times are such a hassle!"

An Yi immediately understood, but Wen Longxiu was unaware of the reason. She saw An Yi take off her elder brother's clothes, and Wen Longxiu's face turned bright red. She was so embarrassed that she quickly hid behind the screen to arrange the spiritual herbs.

"Pharmacist Liu, it's your turn," Ji Jiuying said.

The process was the same as last time. Half an hour later, Ji Jiuying tossed a bottle of Rejuvenating Pills to Pharmacist Liu and prepared to begin acupuncture.

He was shocked to find ten high-grade Earth-level pills inside. Pharmacist Liu swallowed one and quickly put it away.

Ji Jiuying asked An Yi to help Wen Chuyu up and sit in meditation, and gave him a Mind-Concentrating Pill. "Now, begin cultivating the Mind-Purifying Technique."

Ji Jiuying picked up the silver needles and inserted them, each needle containing a hidden soul power. Before long, Ji Jiuying was drenched in sweat.

The pharmacist was amazed, witnessing firsthand how spiritual methods could be combined with acupuncture to treat illness; it was truly a novel experience.

The pain was tearing and spreading silently through Wen Chuyu's body; he could almost hear his soul wailing.

His jaw was clenched, and his lips were trembling as he tried his best to suppress them.

His greatest desire is to return to being a normal person, and he is willing to pay any price for it; this little bit of pain is nothing to him.

The process was so thrilling that the onlookers didn't dare to breathe.

After the last injection, Ji Jiuying was completely exhausted, even in the spirit-gathering array full of spiritual energy.
