Gu Wan wrote the prescription and thought about it, but still didn't ask the maid to go over. The original owner had no confidants and just felt that being alive was a blessing.
I decided to prepare to go by myself. In a month, the competition for outer court disciples to advance to the inner court would begin. This competition would be held once a year, and only the top three would be selected each time.
Sui Lian, as the male protagonist, is extremely talented, but now he does not even have the most basic qualifications, so his cultivation is relatively slow. After entering the inner courtyard and obtaining learning resources, and with the help of the heroine giving him a lot of high-quality medicinal materials, he reached the first level of Nascent Soul in just two years.
The next day, Gu Wan went to the pharmacy alone. The pharmacy was under the jurisdiction of another uncle.
The disciples were all busy with their own routines, and they all bowed to Gu Wan when they saw her.
Gu Wan walked to the medicinal materials area and looked at the drawers of medicinal materials one by one.
"Why are you here, Niece Gu? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Wan looked back and saw that it was Li Xiutian, Uncle Master Li. He was the one who had taken care of the original owner before, and the original owner had a very good relationship with him.
"Greetings, Uncle Master, I'd like some medicinal herbs."
Li Xiutian stroked his beard and looked at her with some confusion. "I heard from your father that the life-extending grass has already entered your heart. You should be feeling much better now. What herbs do you need?"
Gu Wan walked over to him and took his arm.
"Uncle Master, as you know, I've become a doctor through long experience with illness. I've come up with a recipe these past few days that I think will be beneficial for my health, so I wanted to try it myself."
Li Xiutian tapped her forehead with his finger, "How dare you try any medicine on your own? If your father knew, he would definitely beat me up unilaterally."
Gu Wan stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, you can take a look at the prescription. If there are any side effects, you can reject it." Then she took out the prescription and presented it with both hands.
Li Xiutian opened it and looked through it carefully. "There's nothing wrong with it." He looked up at her again and said, "Well, I'll open it for you so you don't have to bother me here."
Gu Wan quickly bowed and thanked him again, "Master uncle loves me the most." After getting the herbs, Gu Wan put them into the storage bag. Although she had no spiritual power, this kind of tool could still be used.
She left the pharmacy and prepared to go back, but met Sui Lian on the way. He was still working with a hunchback. The outer courtyard disciples had poor resources, could not attend classes, and had to do a lot of work, but there were still a lot of people who wanted to come in. At this time, the male protagonist was only accompanied by an old servant, and she guessed that Sui Lian came to wait for her on purpose.
Sui Lian glanced sideways at Gu Wan, then collapsed to the ground as if he was seriously ill, with faint traces of blood on his clothes on the back. He had heard that Gu Qingsong's daughter was innocent and kind-hearted, and he would definitely not stand by and watch her die.
Gu Wan glanced at him, then turned and left.
Sui Lian chuckled lightly, with disdain in his eyes, and could only stand up again.
Gu Wan just thought it was a little ridiculous. Sui Lian’s acting skills could only deceive the original owner.
Sui Lian went back home at night and stood in the room thinking carefully. He could only wait until the disciple competition in a month. It was obviously impossible for him to get close to Gu Wan with his current status as an outer courtyard disciple. People like her didn't take him seriously at all. What kind of innocent and kind person was that? If that were the case, she would have taken the initiative to stop him and save him that day. He was still a little anxious.
Gu Wan stayed in her own yard and asked her maid to boil medicine. She had to cultivate her spiritual roots within this month.
Gu Qingsong called Qin Yang to talk to Gu Xing in the study.
"This year's outer court disciples will be promoted. Qin Yang, you will be the one in charge, and Gu Xing will assist."
They both said in unison, "Yes."
Gu Qingsong tapped the table with his fingers. "Qin Yang, do you have any opinions on the outer court disciples this time?"
Qin Yang frowned and said in a serious tone, "Master, some of his outstanding features are restrained, but he has a rebellious temperament."
Gu Qingsong leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows, "Arrogant? No problem, we'll talk about it another day." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Xing again.
"Yesterday your master told me about your recent situation. You're too restless. I'll ground you for half a month. You're too obsessed with gaining money, and it's hard for you to be of great use."
Gu Xing had no expression and just answered yes.
The two of them left the study.
Qin Yang put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't take what Master said to heart. He's right to be especially strict with you. He always wants you to make more progress so that he can protect Junior Sister more in the future. Master still has great expectations of you."
Gu Xing just smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. I know everything."
Qin Yang let go of his hand and patted his shoulder again, "Okay, you have great talent, don't waste it." After saying that, he walked away.
Gu Xing returned to his courtyard and sneered. "How could she be of any use?" He had never looked down upon the Quanxu Sect, nor had he ever wanted to protect anyone. He wished she would die, and that the entire Quanxu Sect would be buried with her.
As Gu Wan drank the medicine, she could clearly feel the changes in her body, but the progress was a bit fast because the Life-Extending Grass seemed to be fully supporting the growth of her spiritual roots. This was an unexpected surprise, but also normal. There was only one Life-Extending Grass in the world, and many people wanted to get it to practice, but it would be a pity if it was only to prolong their lives.
Two days later, Qin Yang got a good thing and specially sent it to Gu Wan's yard.
"Here, this box is beautifully crafted. It can be used as your jewelry box."
Gu Wan took it and opened it carefully before she saw the mechanism inside. She looked at Qin Yang with understanding, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Qin Yang looked at Gu Wan's complexion and said, "The Life-Extending Grass is indeed powerful. Junior Sister, you have looked much better these past two days and look even better."
He always thought that his junior sister was the most beautiful person in the world.
Gu Wan smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother. I heard you've been busy organizing the promotion tournament lately."
Qin Yang nodded. "Originally, Ah Xing was supposed to assist, but Master grounded Ah Xing and said he was unfit for the job."
Gu Wan didn't ask the reason. Over the years, Gu Xing was always under house arrest or confined to the back mountain. It was simply because Gu Qingsong either disliked him or was very strict with him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother."
Qin Yang couldn't delay any longer, so he stood up and clasped his hands together in a slight bow. "Then I'll get busy first. Junior Sister, you should get some rest."
Gu Wan knelt down and saluted, looking at Qin Yang's high-spirited back. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but it was a pity that he was killed by Gu Xing himself.
In the afternoon, Gu Wan went to Gu Xing's yard with a box of homemade date cakes.
Gu Xing sat in the yard reading page by page. There were mostly bamboos planted in the yard, and it was very cool.
"Ah Xing."
Gu Xing had known that Gu Wan was coming. She was the only one in the Quanxu Sect who had no spiritual power. He stood up and saluted, "Sister, why are you here? Are you okay?" Then he took the bamboo basket from her hand.
Gu Wan was wearing a lavender gauze dress today, with only a jade hairpin on her head, looking very cool and elegant. "I made some date cakes and sent them to you."
Gu Xing's fingers were a little stiff, "Thank you, sister."
Gu Wan opened the bamboo basket and said, "There's some fine white sand porridge in it. You haven't reached the stage of fasting yet, so you should be able to eat it."
Gu Xing pursed his lips and nodded.
Gu Wan didn't stay here for long before leaving. She turned and went to Gu Qingsong's study.
Gu Xing was a little dazed looking at the date cakes in the bamboo basket. She acted like a real sister to him, then stood up and poured out all the date cakes without eating a single bite.
Gu Qingsong was handling sect affairs in the study.
"Why did you think of looking for me today?"
Gu Wan stepped forward and hugged his arm. "Dad, what you said is so heartless. I just went to give Ah Xing some date cakes, and you've grounded him again?"
Gu Qingsong hummed, "Yes, he was impetuous and too utilitarian today, so I punished him."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and sighed, "Did Daddy still say that Ah Xing is not worthy of being reused? This will really hurt Ah Xing's heart?"
Gu Qingsong tilted his head and looked at her, "Why did you send him date cakes? You must be tired from cooking."
After hearing this, Gu Wan smiled helplessly, "Daddy, please lift Ah Xing's house arrest. Be careful when talking to Ah Xing in the future. Don't be so inconsiderate of his face every time."
Gu Qingsong sighed, "Don't you remember that when you were five years old, he took you to play in the back mountains, and you fell into the river. It took several pills to save your life. Why are you still speaking for him?"
Of course Gu Wan knew that Gu Qingsong suspected that he did it on purpose at the time, but she also thought that given his age, he shouldn't have such deep thoughts.
"Dad, I was careless that time. Don't blame Ah Xing."
In fact, the original owner knew that she was pushed down by Gu Xing, but the original owner was kind-hearted and she didn't want Gu Xing to be punished.
Gu Qingsong finally agreed to Gu Wan's request and sent someone to pass on the message to lift the house arrest.
Gu Xing probably guessed that it was Gu Wan. She was still as kind as she was many years ago, but this kindness seemed too stupid to him. If you give a chance to someone who wants your life, no matter whether she has forgotten what happened that year or not, he will not be soft on her.
Gu Wan did not appear in front of Gu Xing for some time afterwards. She was practicing. Now her spiritual roots have been confirmed. She has dual spiritual roots, but the swordsmanship and mental skills she practiced are not from this world.
The annual promotion competition of Quanxu Sect is about to begin. Gu Qingsong and several uncles will be in charge, and Qin Yang will preside over it.
The promotion match is very simple, it is just a draw. First, the outer courtyard disciples are divided into groups of two, and the winners enter the next round.
Gu Wan also chose a seat and sat down. This was her first time appearing at a large-scale event.
There were only 300 outer court disciples who met the criteria for advancement this time, and it took two full days of competition before only ten were left.
Gu Wan went there every day. She used her mental skills to conceal the fact that she had spiritual roots and did not tell anyone.
We are about to enter the finals, and Sui Lian is among them.
Gu Wan looked over. He had been injured many times in the past few days, and Sui Lian’s current ability level was not enough.
He lost half his life in the finals before he won first place, and he collapsed as soon as he got off the stage.
Gu Qingsong seemed to be very optimistic about him and directly accepted him as his fifth apprentice.
Gu Wan found it very interesting. Gu Qingsong treated his eldest disciple the best among his disciples. The other three disciples rarely saw him. Perhaps he himself was a deep-minded person. His disciples were all open-minded like Qin Yang, but he actually chose Sui Lian.
The game is over.
Gu Wan will go back slowly by herself. At the family dinner tomorrow, she will formally meet Lian. He is currently at the foundation-building stage.
Sui Lian's identity had changed. As a disciple of the master of Quanxu Sect, the courtyard was arranged for him earlier. After the competition, he was carried here directly and he sent everyone away.
Geng Bocai came out, his eyes full of heartache.
"Young Master, why is this necessary?"
Sui Lian gritted his teeth and said, "I want Gu Qingsong to lose his daughter and destroy everything he has."
