In the cultivation world, those who can refine pills of grades one to three are called alchemists, those who can refine pills of grades four to six are called alchemy masters, and those of grades seven to eight are alchemy grandmasters.
Lu Fuyue's master, Elder Dan, is outwardly a fifth-grade alchemy master, but in reality, he is already a seventh-grade alchemy grandmaster.
In some smaller factions, having even one Rank 3 alchemist is already quite impressive. However, the Southern Spirit Kingdom is somewhat better off than other smaller factions, as it has two Rank 3 alchemists among its enshrined alchemists.
The person the maid invited was one of the imperial family's third-rank alchemists.
The maid's name was Honghua. She had always been by Nan Chuli's side before being transferred to Lu Fuyue's courtyard.
Honghua led Lin Danshi into Lu Fuyue's courtyard, then knocked on the door and respectfully greeted her.
"Miss, I have invited an alchemist to check if there is anything wrong with your body."
"Please open the door, young lady."
Inside the house, after looking around, Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. She felt no familiarity with this place. It seemed that this was not the place where she lived before she lost her memory.
So who is she?
Now, the only clues to her lost memories can be found in these maids.
Suddenly she heard a sound coming from outside the door, so Lu Fuyue got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Honghua bowed slightly to her, then stood up and looked at the person beside her, saying...
"Miss, this is Alchemist Lin. You don't look well. Perhaps you could have Alchemist Lin take a look at you?"
Lu Fuyue's gaze fell on the short, white-bearded old man standing to the side, and she remembered her lost memories. A hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.
I wonder if this alchemist Lin can help her regain her memories.
The white-bearded old man nodded casually to Lu Fuyue. Given his status, he wouldn't have come here if it weren't for the Crown Prince's order.
What's more, he was treating an unknown little girl.
Lu Fuyue naturally saw through Lin Danshi's perfunctory attitude, so she smiled faintly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Lin Danshi."
The attitude should be neither overly ingratiating nor offensive.
Although she seemed not to be afraid of him at all, she still had to maintain proper etiquette.
Master Lin gave her a strange look. Everyone else knew that he was Master Lin and greeted him respectfully.
Could it be that this little girl doesn't know his reputation as a third-grade alchemist?
...
After the group entered the house, Master Lin carefully examined Lu Fuyue, and the more he examined her, the more shocked he became.
Judging from this girl's pulse, it should be a death pulse. Logically, she shouldn't live past sixteen.
Looking at her bone age, she was only half a month away from turning sixteen, but apart from being a little pale, she did not show any signs of being on the verge of death.
Could it be that he took some kind of top-grade elixir?
The thought of this possibility immediately filled Lin Danshi with excitement. He had been stuck at the third-grade alchemist level for hundreds of years. If he could research pills of higher grades, perhaps he could break through to the fourth-grade alchemist level...
So Lin Danshi circulated his cultivation technique, sending a wisp of spiritual energy through Lu Fuyue's meridians into her body, hoping to find any trace of a pill of grade four or higher.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to touch Lu Fuyue's dantian, he was bounced back by a mysterious force, and he screamed and fell to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
"Master Lin, are you alright?"
Seeing this, Honghua quickly helped him up. Lin Danshi, regaining his senses, looked at Lu Fuyue with utter horror, "You...you have..."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and immediately stopped.
Since that power was not simple, then the girl in front of him was not simple either. If she was a disciple of some powerful force, his actions just now would definitely anger the master behind her.
No, this matter must not be made public.
Master Lin waved his hand, pretending nothing had happened, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just a little surprised that this young lady didn't have any spiritual energy in her body."
But as soon as he said this, Lin Danshi himself was stunned. He had indeed not sensed any spiritual energy in the little girl's body.
So what exactly is that force?
The more Lin Danshi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He decided that this was not something he could get involved in, and it was better to avoid trouble. He would just stick to being a diligent alchemist.
Upon hearing this, Honghua looked at Lu Fuyue with a hint of pity.
In the Southern Spirit Kingdom, cultivation is revered. Those who cannot cultivate are almost always looked down upon, while those with good aptitude and high cultivation levels are worshipped.
Unexpectedly, the girl whom His Highness the Crown Prince personally brought back was so beautiful, yet she had no cultivation.
Even if His Highness the Crown Prince favors her in the future, he will never give her a formal title.
Lu Fuyue discreetly observed all the emotions of Lin Danshi and the maid, and wondered about their cultivation levels.
Why does she feel like she has cultivation? Could it be that she has lost her memories and her cultivation?
She was silent for a moment, then looked up at Alchemist Lin. "Alchemist, I seem to have lost my memory. I don't remember who I am. Do you have a way to help me regain my memory?"
Both Lin Danshi and Honghua were somewhat surprised.
Honghua tentatively asked, "Does the girl know her own name?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who she was, so she shook her head.
A pang of pity flashed in Honghua's eyes as she looked at her. It seemed she would have to take better care of this girl in the future; it was truly pitiful for someone without cultivation.
At this moment, Master Lin hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I have no power over memories. I can only leave it to fate, or perhaps seeing more familiar people and things will help me recover them."
After saying that, he left.
After Lin Danshi left, Lu Fuyue looked at Honghua and asked, "Since you didn't know me before, how did I get here?"
Honghua hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss, you were brought back by His Highness the Crown Prince. At that time, you were unconscious, so the Crown Prince instructed me to invite Alchemist Lin to treat you."
Lu Fuyue asked with some confusion, "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Honghua nodded, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Miss, why don't you ask His Highness the Crown Prince? Perhaps he knows your identity?"
Lu Fuyue thought about it and realized that it made some sense.
Suddenly, Honghua remembered that when His Highness the Crown Prince brought this girl, both of them were disheveled, and the girl was wearing His Highness the Crown Prince's clothes.
