After arranging the people of the Ling family army, Ling Xiang took out the medical book and studied alchemy.
After reading the introductory introduction, she realized that she had oversimplified things.
To truly refine the elixir, one must not only be proficient in pharmacology, but also incorporate spiritual energy into the process of refining the elixir. This is simply incomparable to the pills made by mortals.
She took out the elixir her mother left her and studied it. Sure enough, in addition to the medicinal power, there was also a kind of energy that could not be identified by instruments. It should be spiritual power.
She took a Yangyuan Pill and instantly felt warmth all over her body. Her mind was clearer than ever before. The alchemy knowledge she had just learned became clear to her immediately. She couldn't wait to start her first alchemy.
The medical book left by her mother was densely annotated with her experience in alchemy. Combined with her mastery of pharmacology, she successfully refined a spiritual tonic pill on her first try.
She used instruments to study the Bu Ling Dan. Perhaps because it was her first time refining the elixir, the medicinal properties of the herbs had been lost a lot, and the fusion of medicinal power and spiritual power was not perfect, resulting in the Bu Ling Dan having a very mediocre effect.
Comparing it with the alchemy experience left by her mother, she roughly understood the principle of refining good pills: while retaining the medicinal properties as much as possible, use the high temperature generated by the fire to perfectly integrate the medicinal power and spiritual power to achieve the best balance.
This is something she will never be able to learn with the smart instruments she brought from modern times.
Therefore, there is a reason why elixirs are expensive.
This aroused her infinite interest, and she immediately devoted herself to the research of alchemy. If Xiaoyu had not knocked on the door, she would have forgotten to eat and sleep.
As Xuanyuan Qi said, on the third day, the princess sent Nanny Gui to invite Ling Xiang to study at the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and also brought the antidote prepared by Doctor Li.
Ling Xiang took off her veil, "Madam Gui, I'm afraid Ling Xiang's face won't be healed for a while, really..."
Before Ling Xiang could finish, Aunt Gui interrupted her, "The Princess said that inner beauty is the true beauty. She will find a way to get the Jade Skin Cream to restore Miss Ling's face to its original state. Time waits for no one. I hope Miss Ling will cherish her study time and don't let the Princess down."
Ling Xiang took the antidote, but actually threw it into the space, changed her clothes, and followed Nanny Gui to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
In order to wait for Ling Xiang to arrive, the teacher did not rush to teach new knowledge today, but first examined the students' homework.
Nangong Yu, the number one student, answered the teacher's questions fluently, ranging from astronomy and geography to national affairs and the common people, all of which satisfied the teacher. The teacher gave him an excellent grade.
The second student, Gao Zhenzhen, had only studied for half a year, so the teacher only asked her some basic questions, and she was able to answer them fluently, so the teacher gave her an average grade.
Xuanyuan Qi, the third cheap student, had just recently rushed to the Qin Palace to study. The teacher only asked one question: "Your Highness, Prince Huai, there's an old saying, 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' What does that mean?"
Xuanyuan Qi sat on his seat with his legs crossed. He took off the book covering his face and said confidently, "This is easy. Water can make a boat float, but it can also make it sink."
The teacher waited patiently for Xuanyuan Qi to continue speaking, but Xuanyuan Qi just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
"Have you finished explaining?" The Master was incredulous.
"Is there anything else?" Xuanyuan Qi asked doubtfully.
The Master blew his beard in anger and said, "Superficial! I punish you by making you copy the 'Strategies of Governing the Country' three times today!"
Gao Zhenzhen whispered a reminder: "Your Highness Prince Huai, the water here refers to the people, and the boat refers to the emperor."
"Oh." Xuanyuan Qi didn't care.
Gao Zhenzhen was embarrassed by the cold reception she received. However, no one said anything, not even the King of Qin, who always defended her. She could only find a way out.
"Master, His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai has just arrived to study, so it's understandable that he can't answer the question. Can you please make the punishment lighter?"
The teacher was very polite and said: "That makes sense. Then write it again as punishment."
"Thank you, Master." Gao Zhenzhen thought she had done King Huai a favor and was quite proud of herself.
Ling Xiang came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion again and went to pay a visit to the eldest princess first.
The eldest princess looked at the scar exposed outside her veil with pity: "My child, you have suffered so much."
"With the eldest princess caring about me, Ling Xiang is not suffering." Ling Xiang maintained her politeness.
The princess was satisfied. "Xiang'er, appearance is only a temporary skin, it will not last forever. Only knowledge, insight, and ability are the eternal foundation of a woman's life. I hope you can study hard with the master and don't waste this precious time."
"Ling Xiang will remember the Princess's teachings."
After leaving the eldest princess's place, Nanny Gui took Ling Xiang directly to the school in Prince Qin's mansion.
Nanny Gui introduced, "Miss Ling, this is Master Pei Xuewen. Come and greet him."
Ling Xiang performed the disciple's etiquette and offered tea to Pei Xuewen: "Ling Xiang greets Master Pei."
"Since he was introduced by the eldest princess, he must be an ambitious child." Pei Xuewen drank the tea and expressed his willingness to accept Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang took out the gift she had prepared for her apprenticeship: "This is a small gift from your disciple. Please accept it, Master."
The teacher accepted the gift, opened it, and looked at it. He pointed to the empty seat in the second row with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. Sit down and study."
Her seat was behind Gao Zhenzhen and to the right of Xuanyuan Qi.
As soon as Ling Xiang sat down, Gao Zhenzhen said sympathetically, "Miss Ling, I heard something happened to your family a few days ago. It's really worrying. Can your face recover?"
Ling Xiang didn't care much: "It's just a skin, it's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, Miss Gao."
Gao Zhenzhen was still worried: "Ms. Ling is open-minded and doesn't care, but there are many people in the world who judge people by appearance..."
Ling Xiang interrupted her: "Ms. Gao, are you someone who judges people by their appearance?"
Gao Zhenzhen shook her head: "Of course not."
"Oh?" Ling Xiang was puzzled. "So, Miss Gao, do you think that among the five of us here, one is superficial and judges people by appearance?"
Gao Zhenzhen originally wanted to lead Nangong Yu to dislike Ling Xiang's face, but ended up losing more than she gained. She immediately explained:
"Of course not, I just, just..."
After talking for a long time, Gao Zhenzhen couldn't find any words to explain. She bit her lip and looked at Nangong Yu aggrievedly.
Nangong Yu looked at Ling Xiang dissatisfiedly: "Zhenzhen is just concerned about Miss Ling. Miss Ling, there is no need to misinterpret Zhenzhen's meaning like this."
"Cousin, what you said is not right. It was Miss Gao who started the conversation first, so how did Miss Ling misinterpret it? Not to mention Miss Ling herself, even I, a bystander, feel that Miss Gao thinks we judge people by their appearance." Xuanyuan Qi looked at Nangong Yu with a half-smile.
"Miss Ling is a beauty, a scar can't hide her beauty at all. The teacher is very generous. When he accepted Ling Xiang as his student, he didn't mind the scar on her face at all, and didn't even glance at it. So, who is the superficial one among the five people present?"
From this point of view, five minus three equals two. Gao Zhenzhen also said that she is not a person who judges people by appearance. Then the only superficial person is Nangong Yu, right?
