The book clearly states that spiritual spring water can help temper the meridians and remove impurities from the human body. It can also help practitioners accumulate spiritual power and accelerate breakthroughs.
Thinking about the changes that the legacy left by his mother brought to the space, Ling Xiang suspected that the spiritual spring was the medicinal spring in the space. After drinking a sip, he began to practice according to the secret book.
It actually works!
This time, that strange power did not disappear. Instead, it flowed around her body as the technique was practiced, tempering her meridians.
This was a painful and long process. The meridians in her body felt like they were being cut by a sharp blade. The pain was truly unbearable for ordinary people.
She gritted her teeth and persevered during her first practice. After the power had finished tempering her meridians, she collapsed powerlessly, not wanting to move even a finger.
Although the process was difficult, fortunately, some of the power remained in her lower abdomen - which is what martial artists call the dantian. This means that she has officially stepped into the threshold of cultivation.
Maybe she can really become an immortal in the future?
She smiled silently, closed her eyes and planned to lie down on the ground to sleep, but the sound of footsteps reached her ears.
The eldest princess specially invited the imperial physician to examine Ling Xiang. Under the enthusiastic guidance of Mrs. Ling Er, Nanny Gui went to the main hall.
Aunt Gui was quite dissatisfied with Mrs. Ling's arrangement. "I'm here to visit Miss Ling. Just take me to her room. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
How could Ling Xiang's shabby little courtyard be fit to receive distinguished guests? Madam Ling Er smiled apologetically and said, "Xiang'er and the maids in the room are both ill. We wouldn't want to pass their illness on to the two nobles."
Madam Ling Er sent for Ling Xiang. Ling Xiang was lying on the ground, completely exhausted. She weakly said to the maid at the door, "I can't get up. If you're not afraid of your faces becoming like mine, you can carry me over."
The maidservant didn't want to be poisoned and disfigured, so she immediately ran back to report to Madam Ling Er: "The third young lady is lying on the ground, and her condition is not good..."
Aunt Gui stood up immediately: "What? The Third Young Miss is not in good condition? Lead the way! Take me to the Third Young Miss's courtyard!"
Mrs. Ling Er couldn't stop them. She glared at the maid who was not doing her job well and immediately walked to the front to lead the way.
Seeing Ling Xiang's courtyard, Nanny Gui frowned fiercely: "Ling Zhang, is this what you call treating Miss Ling as your own daughter? I, a servant, live in a courtyard better than Miss Ling!"
Madam Ling Er immediately explained: "Madam, you misunderstood. Xiang'er was poisoned. For the safety of the entire mansion, she was allowed to live in this remote courtyard."
Nanny Gui glanced at her and said, "If anything happens to Miss Ling, I wonder what you will say to the Princess!"
The eldest princess fully expressed her concern for Ling Xiang. Nanny Gui brought the imperial physician into the room and instructed the maids behind her to carry Ling Xiang to the bed. "Miss Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Xiang smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your concern, Ma'am. I'm just tired."
Nanny Gui was very kind, not even bothered by the rash covering Ling Xiang's face. She held her hand and said, "Doctor Li, please examine Miss Ling carefully. The Princess has said that we must ensure that Miss Ling is safe and sound."
"Mammy, you are so kind. When the maids in the mansion came here just now, they all despised me and didn't dare to help me, but you didn't despise me... Woo woo, Xiang'er is so touched."
"Don't be afraid, Miss Ling. Imperial Doctor Li is the best at detoxification, and there is also a detoxification pill that the princess specially gave to Miss Ling. You will definitely get better." Nanny Gui took out the detoxification pill given to her by the princess and stuffed it into Ling Xiang's hand.
Doctor Li's eyes lit up instantly. "Is this the detoxification pill sent as tribute by the Kingdom of Dongchang? I heard that the detoxification pill is very effective in removing poisons. They only got three pills back then, and one of them was given to the eldest princess."
Aunt Gui nodded: "So, the eldest princess really likes Miss Ling. Miss Ling, you must not let the eldest princess down. You must get better quickly!"
Ling Xiang was deeply moved and nodded vigorously, "When I get better, I will definitely thank the princess!"
Ling Xiang tampered with her pulse, and Doctor Li found that she was poisoned, but did not find that she practiced martial arts. He carefully prescribed her a supplementary medicine:
"It will take time to prepare the antidote. During this time, Miss Ling's poison will become more and more severe. Although the detoxification pill cannot completely remove the poison, it can control your poison. Miss Ling, will you take this detoxification pill?"
"How can I let the princess down?" Ling Xiang raised his hand with difficulty and fed the detoxification pill into his mouth, but actually put it into the space.
Doctor Li gave some instructions and said he would send someone to deliver the antidote once it was prepared, and then he left.
Nanny Gui took Ling Xiang aside and asked her about her well-being. Before leaving, she also solemnly warned Mrs. Ling Er and then went back to report.
After Mrs. Ling returned home, she always felt itchy all over her body. She called Doctor He to take a look and found out that she was poisoned!
Doctor He said that he was unable to detoxify and could only ask his master for help. Mrs. Ling panicked and immediately sent someone to ask Doctor He.
That night, He Xun disguised himself and came to see Mrs. Ling Er.
Mr. Ling was very pleased with Mrs. Ling's ability to invite the miraculous doctor He Xun. He politely ushered him into the house and ordered someone to bring out a hundred taels of gold: "Thank you for your help, miraculous doctor He."
"Everyone get out." He Xun was wearing a mask and his voice was cold and distant.
Mr. Ling wanted to please the genius doctor, so he immediately took everyone out and closed the door himself.
"Brother Xun~~" With no outsiders present, Mrs. Ling II threw herself into He Xun's arms with a wronged look on her face.
He Xun took off his mask and hugged her tightly, "Qian'er, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Zhang Qian is Mrs. Ling's maiden name.
After a heartfelt exchange, He Xun felt Mrs. Ling's pulse, his brow furrowing ever tighter. "Do you know who poisoned you?"
Seeing He Xun like this, Madam Ling asked nervously, "Can you solve it?"
"Yes," He Xun said affirmatively, but his brows were still furrowed. "The person who poisoned you is not simple! It will take a few days to detoxify. I have to stay in your house."
By the way, see if you can find out who poisoned you.
He would never allow such a dangerous person to be around his beloved.
"Brother Xun, you're so kind." Madam Ling Er threw herself into his arms, "If only you had come back before I got married, how great it would have been..."
"It's all my fault..." He Xun felt very guilty.
Back then, he and Zhang Qian were engaged, but the Zhang family disliked He Xun's declining family background and thought he was just a useless doctor, so they were unwilling to marry their daughter to him. Instead, they married Zhang Qian to the younger brother of the then-powerful Marquis Zhenguo, now known as Mr. Ling Erye.
In fact, Zhang Qian also looked down on He Xun in her heart. She was so happy to be able to marry into the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion.
But she was very good at pretending, and made He Xun think that she was forced, and that it was He Xun's late return that led to the tragedy between them.
Therefore, He Xun felt very guilty towards her. Even though he had become a sought-after miracle doctor, he was still single and always responded to every request from the man who had become Mrs. Ling's lover.
