Chapter 231 Blowing up the house
At this time, Ye Wanxi had no idea that by giving this "meeting gift," she would gain exclusive favor from her future mother-in-law.
After she "woke up," she stayed in the hospital for about a week before finally being discharged and able to recuperate at home.
Feng Tianyu originally wanted her to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but Ye Wanxi really couldn't wait any longer.
While one can set up a barrier to refine elixirs in a hospital, it's ultimately not as secluded and convenient as one's own home.
Especially since she's been away from alchemy for so long, who knows if the furnace will explode halfway through?
It's fine if they bomb their own house, but if they bomb a hospital, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause.
However, before refining the pills, Ye Wanxi cleverly called her third senior brother first.
"Discharged from the hospital?"
Ye Wanxi was taken aback: "How did you know?"
A deep, magnetic laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Because I'm incredibly shrewd; I knew you'd definitely contact me after you were discharged from the hospital."
Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled as well: "Then, Third Senior Brother, guess again why I came to find you?"
"Is that even a question? You want to help your senior brother repair his soul."
"Mmm!" Ye Wanxi was even more excited. She knew that her third senior brother must have already thought of a solution for her. "So, what should we do?"
"First, refine a batch of Soul-Nourishing Pills and let him take them for a while to nourish his soul. Then refine a batch of Soul-Stabilizing Pills. Once his soul and spirit are integrated, taking them for a month or two should be enough. However..."
"but?"
"However, you should be prepared that there will be some aftereffects from the fusion of souls."
"Aftereffects? What aftereffects? Will they harm Senior Brother? How serious are they?"
"It's not serious, but you might get injured. There's just that some unpredictable things might happen, and I can't say for sure, but you should be mentally prepared. Don't be too nervous, everything will be alright."
Ye Wanxi: "..." I feel like what you said is contradictory, and it doesn't sound very reliable!
However, since her third senior brother said that nothing would happen, Ye Wanxi still did it no matter how conflicted she was, after all, she didn't have much time left for her eldest senior brother.
For the next few days, Ye Wanxi stayed alone in a small room on the second floor of the villa.
Gao Min would go up to her every day to bring her food, and you could faintly smell a sweet Chinese medicine scent.
She was full of curiosity, but too embarrassed to ask.
One morning, Gao Min, wearing her pajamas and yawning, had just stepped out of her bedroom when she heard a deafening noise from the second floor, instantly waking her up from her drowsiness.
"What happened? What happened? Wanxi, are you alright? Wanxi, please answer me..." Gao Min kept banging on the door of the room, her face as pale as paper, afraid that something might happen to Ye Wanxi before her old injuries had healed.
Fortunately, the door to the room opened after about ten seconds.
Ye Wanxi came out of the house carrying a small cauldron the size of a palm, with several streaks of black ash still on her fair face.
The room was filled with billowing white smoke, and a pungent smell of burning wafted out, which immediately choked Gao Min.
"Cough cough cough... What... What are you doing? Burning down the house or blowing it up? Why is there so much smoke and such a loud noise? Oh no, fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher, I'll go get the fire extinguisher."
Gao Min hurriedly turned to find a fire extinguisher, but Ye Wanxi grabbed her arm and said, "No need, the fire is out, we can clean it up in a bit."
"Destroyed?" Gao Min was stunned for a moment, then saw Ye Wanxi lift the lid of the small cauldron, pour out a few steaming white pills, and put them into a delicate little white jade bottle.
Surprisingly, these little pills smell quite nice, with a faint ginseng scent that isn't too overpowering.
It makes you feel refreshed and relaxed after just a short while of smelling it.
“This…” Gao Min stared at the white jade bottle in her hand with shining eyes, intuitively feeling that this was probably the legendary elixir!
"These are pills I refined," Ye Wanxi said without hiding anything, "You can't eat them."
"Why?"
"It will explode."
"Exploding?!" Gao Min was startled, instinctively crossing her arms and taking two steps back. "It's the kind I was thinking of..."
Ye Wanxi's lips twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes helplessly: "It means exactly what it says."
This stuff contains a lot of spiritual energy, which is perfect for nourishing the senior brother's soul. But if a mortal like Gao Min were to consume it, he would be too weak to handle the nourishment and might indeed explode.
Gao Min glanced at the bottle in Ye Wanxi's hand with lingering fear, as if she were looking at a terrifying monster.
"Then forget it."
Seeing her like this, Ye Wanxi smiled and took out another exquisite little bottle from her pocket, placing it in her hand.
Gao Min instinctively grasped it, then looked up at her with a puzzled expression.
"You can eat this. It won't explode."
Gao Min's eyes brightened slightly, and she happily opened the bottle to take a look. Inside, she found three small blue pills, which looked just like the little candies given to children when they get vaccinated. She could even smell a sweet scent when she got close.
"Could this be the elixir from cultivation novels that can cleanse the marrow and refine the body?"
"It's not an elixir, nor can it cleanse your marrow and meridians. At most, it can improve your health, prolong your life, and make you less prone to illness."
"Oh, that's great too." Although Gao Min was a little disappointed, she became excited again when she thought that this thing was just like Ye Wanxi's talismans, something that others might not be able to obtain even if they asked for it.
Who in this world doesn't wish to be healthy and live a good life without illness or pain?
The effects of this little pill may not sound miraculous, but upon closer examination, they are absolutely priceless treasures that money can't buy!
"One is for you, and please send the other two to the Bai family."
Gao Min was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood Ye Wanxi's intention: "For Young Master Bai and Old Master Bai?"
"Um."
"Of course, most of these herbs were given to you by them, right? It's only right to reciprocate, so that we can exchange gifts in the future."
Ye Wanxi nodded with a faint smile. Although Bai Haoqi was protected by the jade pendant on his body, the curse he had carried over the years had still damaged his foundation.
When she asked the Bai family for those herbs, she originally planned to make a batch for her eldest brother as well when she was making pills.
This was just a very basic pill, not as rare as her senior brother's Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Strengthening Pill, so it was just something she could easily get her hands on.
In her previous life, when she was still a member of the sect, some people would bring their own herbs when they came to ask her third senior brother to refine elixirs.
After the pills are refined, eight or nine out of ten of them belong to the third senior brother, while only one or two are taken back by the person who provided the herbs. Sometimes, the third senior brother even has to pay extra for refining the pills.
Considering how much effort Bai Haoqi had put into finding ginseng for her, she decided to reciprocate by not charging them for alchemy and giving it to them for free.
"Yuanyuan? Are you upstairs?"
