The Xu family’s courtyard is not far from Su Jinyue’s family’s, and it only takes a dozen minutes to drive there.
Walking into the Xu residence, Xu Tiansheng's eyes couldn't help but well up. It had been twenty-eight years since he'd left, and for all those years, he'd only ever returned to this home in his dreams. All the longing and guilt he'd felt for them flooded back at that moment.
Finally, his tears could no longer be controlled and he lowered his head and sobbed.
Xu Tianbang reached out and patted Xu Tiansheng's shoulder. "It's all in the past. Don't be sad! Our family will be reunited in the future."
Xu Tiansheng nodded while crying, "Brother, I want to go and pay my respects to my parents." He was really unfilial. He was so angry that he didn't even see his parents for the last time.
Xu Tianbang nodded and said, "I'll make some arrangements. Let's go sit in the living room."
"Yeah." Xu Tiansheng raised his hand to wipe his tears and followed Xu Tianbang and Xu Tianqi.
"Su Jinyue, I'll take you on a tour first, and then take you to the study." Xu Jinfeng looked at Su Jinyue and said.
"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded.
The Xu family is very large. Their ancestors were imperial doctors in the palace, so their house was also given by the emperor. It has a combination of five courtyards, tall houses, overlapping courtyards, front porches and back buildings, winding corridors, hanging flower gates, screen walls, and partitions are all very exquisite. The corridors and thresholds are winding, some are exposed and some are hidden. There are courtyards inside the courtyards and gardens outside the courtyards, and the courtyards and gardens are connected. Each courtyard has a garden, and in the courtyard, there are lotus ponds and rockery, which gives people a sense of elegance, tranquility and comfort.
"The study is in front. There are many medical books collected there. If you like them, you can take a few back." Xu Jinfeng said as he took Su Jinyue towards the study.
When you push open the door of the study, what comes into view are rows of bookshelves, which are filled with books, most of which are thread-bound books.
"Most of these books are medical, collected by our Xu family ancestors over countless years. In my father's generation, only my second uncle studied medicine. By our generation, no one else studies medicine anymore, so these books are just decorations," Xu Jinfeng said with some regret. He had also wanted to study medicine before, but after reading a few medical books, he really didn't feel interested.
Su Jinyue nodded, her eyes sweeping across the bookshelf. Before she even entered the study, she felt as if something was calling her, and after entering the study, this feeling was even stronger.
"Master, there is a gold leaf here." Xiao Jin's voice came with excitement.
Su Jinyue was overjoyed upon hearing this, releasing her divine sense to search carefully. That golden leaf must have been sealed, just like the previous ones. She was certain that if she hadn't already possessed the Golden Leaf Realm, she wouldn't have been able to sense its existence. Otherwise, no one would have discovered it for so many years.
The spiritual sense scanned one of the books and found a page that was different from the others.
Su Jinyue walked forward, took the book down, and saw that the name of the book was "Huangdi Neijing".
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is a comprehensive medical book. It established the theories of "Yin and Yang and Five Elements", "Pulse Theory", "Zang-Xiang Theory", "Meridian Theory", "Etiology Theory", "Pathogenesis Theory", "Symptoms", "Diagnosis", "Treatment", "Health Preservation" and "Fortune Theory" in traditional Chinese medicine based on the theories of Huang-Lao Taoism. It is known as the ancestor of medicine.
"I've read this book, but the content is too profound," Xu Jinfeng said with a smile. He could recite the entire book by heart, but he didn't understand its meaning.
"Can you give me this book?" Su Jinyue asked.
"Take it if you like it." Xu Jinfeng agreed readily.
"Thank you!" Su Jinyue put the book into her bag. She planned to go back and study it carefully.
"Don't be polite, it's just a book." Xu Jinfeng smiled and shook his head.
Su Jinyue took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xu Jinfeng, "This bottle is Jiazi Dan, take it." After receiving such a great benefit from them, he must give something in return.
"Jia Zi Dan?" Xu Jinfeng took the jade bottle with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is something I developed. One pill can extend your lifespan by one Jiazi pill, or sixty years. My master is so young now because he took the Jiazi pill," Su Jinyue said. Master didn't look old to begin with, and after taking the Jiazi pill, he looked no more than forty.
"Isn't that an elixir?" Xu Jinfeng looked at the jade bottle in his hand in shock. He really couldn't believe that such a medicine could exist in reality.
"I think so," Su Jinyue said with a smile. Jiazi Dan was the lowest-grade elixir among all the spiritual elixirs. It wasn't very useful for cultivators, but it was indeed an elixir for ordinary people.
"This is too precious, you can take it back." Xu Jinfeng quickly pushed the pill back.
"You are Master's relatives, and therefore my relatives. A few pills are really nothing." Su Jinyue shook her head. Compared to the value of the Golden Leaf Realm, the Jiazi Pill is less than one ten-thousandth of it.
"But this is really too precious." Xu Jinfeng looked at the jade bottle in his hand. He couldn't even believe that there was such a medicine in the world.
"Wait a minute, let your uncle and third uncle try it and you'll see the effects. Let me know if you need any medicine in the future," Su Jinyue said. She felt a little embarrassed to trade a few Jiazi Pills for the Golden Leaf Realm. If they were cultivators, she could have given them more pills, but unfortunately, they were ordinary people, and the pills she gave them wouldn't be of much use. Ordinary people could only take low-level pills, otherwise they would explode and die.
Xu Jinfeng nodded and said, "Thank you, Su Jinyue!" If this medicine has the effect that Su Jinyue said, it would be truly priceless.
After staying in the study for a while, the two walked out of the study.
As soon as they went out, they saw a woman in cheongsam walking towards them slowly.
"Second Aunt!" Xu Jinfeng hurriedly greeted the newcomer. Second Aunt had always lived in Qingyuan. Apart from occasionally coming to the study to read, she rarely came to the main courtyard.
Lin Junman smiled faintly and nodded. The Xu family's study was rarely visited, so she came here to read. She hadn't been particularly interested in medical books before, but the more she read, the more she enjoyed them.
"Su Jinyue, she is my second aunt, the first wife of my second uncle. Second aunt, she is Su Jinyue, my second uncle's adopted daughter. My second uncle is back." Xu Jinfeng said happily. He really hopes that his second uncle can be with his second aunt.
Lin Junman was slightly startled when she heard Xu Jinfeng's words, then nodded faintly and walked towards the study. The moment she stepped into the study, a crystal tear slowly slid down from the corner of her eye. She had thought her heart had long since died, no longer experiencing any fluctuations, but the moment she knew Xu Tiansheng had returned, her heart felt like it was stabbed by something, causing her to ache.
