Chapter 288 The “Painless” Pill
In the nearly one and a half years since the Tiandao Conference, Yuan Caiwei has been staying in Danshan, helping Yuan Chen to control the sacred weapon.
At this time, she walked into the yard wearing a purple dress. Her figure looked much slimmer, and her waist was thinner than before. She had the beauty of a lotus under the ice and snow.
She arrived in Shengjing early in the morning. After delivering the elixir to Tianshuyuan, she took a brief rest and went to Ji You's yard, but she didn't find anyone.
Later, the disciple guarding the mountain gate sent her a message saying that Ji You was currently living in Wuliu Trading Company, so she brought her brother here.
In fact, she had already expected Yan Shuyi to be there on the way here, so she was mentally prepared.
In fact, Yan Shuyi was the same. She knew that her fake sister always wanted to find an opportunity to cheat on her. She had secretly gone to Ji Village without telling her, so she was not surprised by her arrival.
However, although both of them knew it, they pretended not to understand.
"Sister Caiwei is here again?"
"The new year is approaching, my brother and I came to Tianshuyuan to deliver pills. We knew that the elder sister of Jianzhu would be with Master Ji, so we came to see her by the way."
Ding Yao glanced at her own master and thought, you see, even Miss Yuan knows that you want to stick with the young master, and she knows you are here without asking.
Yan Shuyi felt that she was being treated as a stingy woman who was looking forward to finding a lover every day, and her eyes narrowed.
Wei Rui was stunned for a moment, wondering why there were two sisters, and then she heard Zhuo Wanqiu whispering a few words in her ear.
After sending Ji You into the holy land of sages, Yuan Caiwei secretly ran to Fengzhou, and ended up bumping into Yan Shuyi, who wanted to hear the people of Fengzhou call her Madam Ji.
The two women with evil thoughts stayed in Jizhai for a whole day.
During this period, Yan Shuyi always called Yuan Caiwei "guest". Yuan Caiwei was dissatisfied and started to call her "sister".
The only one who was hurt was Yuan Chen, who was actually treated as a guest.
The daughter of Dan Zong is older than the little master of Lingjian Mountain. Logically, she is the elder sister, but calling Yan Shuyi "sister" is a title that she secretly wants to use to marry into the family.
Yan Shu also called her sister with a stern face, just like when he called her a guest, his intention to protect the food was not concealed.
However, Xiao Jianzhu actually knew in his heart that he might not be able to handle it alone, even with Ding Yao. At that time, Yuan Caiwei might be the savior who could share the firepower, so he was a little restrained.
Sure enough, people still need to have a good body in the end!
Ji You got up and went into the house, took a stool and handed it to the two siblings and asked them to sit down. Then he looked at Yuan Chen and found that he had lost a lot of weight, just like Yuan Caiwei.
"Isn't Yuanchen full in the mountains?"
Yuan Caiwei looked at Yuan Chen: "My brother is not able to control the holy weapon smoothly, so father won't give him food..."
Ji You looked at her again: "Then why has Miss Yuan lost weight too?"
After hearing this, Yuan Chen immediately spoke up: "Sister has a dark face all day long. When she saw that I couldn't do it, she was so angry that she couldn't eat. She kept staring at me when she was punished to kneel. Brother-in-law, don't be fooled by Sister's gentle appearance today."
Yuan Caiwei was imitating the girls at the table in making lanterns, acting as naturally as if she was at home. When she heard A'di's complaint, she couldn't help but give her a cold look.
Yuan Chen hid beside Ji You, thinking that it was okay for him to be fierce in the mountains, but if he was still fierce here, he would be spanked by his brother-in-law.
In the past, when they were in the mountains, Yuan Chen often said that he would let his brother-in-law spank him when he saw Ji You, so even though he was just thinking about it in his heart, Yuan Caiwei knew what his brother was planning.
At this time, the sky was getting dark.
Several women were making lanterns, and wisps of smoke began to rise from the backyard and blended into the white sky.
Ji You was already making a fire and cooking, frying the bacon in an iron pan.
While he was cooking, he could hear the conversation between Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei, which sounded like fake sisters.
The arrogant ghost asked calmly, since the pills from Danzong have been delivered, should sister go back today or tomorrow.
Yuan Caiwei replied that in response to her sister's words, it was boring on the mountain and she planned to spend the new year here before going back.
Although the Dan Sect does not practice immortal arts, the days of refining pills would still become boring after a long time. Yuan Caiwei had not gone down the mountain for a year and a half, and this time she came to Shengjing with the intention of taking a good rest.
To be honest, although she was stared at warily by her sister, the appraiser, during the last hibernation, and could not do anything with Ji You, she liked such lively and leisurely days very much, except for the incident when she lost her brother while the three of them were visiting the lantern festival.
Yan Shuyi then pretended to ask her casually if she had a place to stay, and Yuan Caiwei said that the backyard of Wuyou Company looked quite large.
Therefore, Ji You, who was cooking at the stove, could feel the sword energy rising at any time.
It was not until noon that the door of the courtyard was pushed open again, and Kuang Cheng, wearing a cotton robe, walked out.
It was a rare lively day today, and Wei Rui was also there, so Ji You sent a clerk from Wuliu Trading Company to deliver a letter to Kuang Cheng, asking him to come for the gathering.
After Kuang Cheng entered the room, he was a little surprised to see Wei Rui: "Why is Miss Rui'er here too?"
"I was afraid that Sister Yan would really give up on love, so I decided to persuade Master Ji to take the initiative. But when I came in, I found Sister Yan making paper lanterns with Master Ji. After she finished, she even asked for praise..."
"There is such a thing..."
"Sister Yan is too good at lying."
The corner of Kuang Cheng's mouth twitched: "I told you not to worry, but why is Miss Yuan here too?"
Wei Rui couldn't help but lower her voice: "Just like last time, she came to see Master Ji. Sister Yan is jealous."
Kuang Cheng looked at the cold and arrogant Fairy Yan and the murmurous daughter of Danzong, and couldn't help but sigh that a good body can conquer the world.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and started to help Ji You, just like Yuan Chen who was making a fire to avoid the "battle between the two sisters".
After dishes were cooked one after another, Ji You walked into the house holding the plates.
At this time, the young master of Lingjian Mountain stood up from the tea pavilion, followed him into the house with a cold expression, and stared at him for a long time.
Ji You reached out and picked up a piece of meat, and fed it to Yan Shuyi's moist mouth: "It's almost time for dinner, go wash your hands."
The young master gave him a cold look, then went out and washed his hands obediently.
Yuan Caiwei and Yan Shu did the same. They stood up at the sight of Ji You and washed their hands in the basin of warm water.
Dinner was served in the warm candlelight. It was not dark yet, but the snow outside the window began to fall more heavily.
Yuan Chen was obviously very hungry. His chopsticks kept dropping, and he kept saying that his brother-in-law cooked well and he would eat there every day from now on. Everyone turned to look at him, and they couldn't help but silently call him a fool in their hearts.
Because apart from Kuang Cheng and Wei Rui, he was probably the most legitimate guest at this table.
After dinner, Yuan Caiwei looked at the falling snow outside the window, wondering if she could stay there. But before she could think of how to start the conversation, Yan Shuyi pulled her back to the Wei family's villa, saying, "I happened to meet a friend of Rui'er's lover, and we're here for dinner."
In fact, this time when he saw Yuan Caiwei coming to see Ji You, Xiao Jianzhu was not as jealous and vigilant as last time.
Because she didn't see it last time, and if she saw it this time, it would be fatal. She herself didn't dare to do it, so she thought Yuan Caiwei wouldn't dare to do it either.
However, she was afraid that Yuan Caiwei would really dare to do it, so she chose a safe approach and took her back.
On a snowy night, Yuan Caiwei was arranged to stay in the bedroom of the east wing of the villa.
The Wei family villa uses a ground dragon as the firewood, which is a fire channel dug under the house. The smoke from the burning firewood will flow through the fire channel, bringing heat into the room.
In addition to this measure, thick plush carpets are laid on the floor of the room to prevent the heat provided by the floor heater from dissipating quickly.
At this time, Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei were sitting on a blanket, their two pairs of snow-white feet facing each other, and their pink toes were like blooming petals.
This scene made both of them feel like they had spent the winter together in Lingjian Mountain when they were children.
After her body temperature calmed down a little after returning from the snow, Yuan Caiwei looked around the room and suddenly spoke.
"How did Sister Jianzhu control the holy weapon in the first place?"
Yan Shuyi came back to her senses after hearing this, her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Did Yuanchen really run into trouble?"
Yuan Caiwei hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yuan Chen has been trying for more than a year, but has not been able to awaken the holy weapon so far. My father is very angry about this. Yuan Chen said that the family did not give him food, and it was not a lie."
The holy artifact is basically equivalent to the cornerstone for the Immortal Sect. Because of the existence of the holy artifact, the Immortal Sect is different from those thousand-year-old families.
If Yuan Chen is unable to wield the sacred weapon, Danzong will likely face a situation similar to that of Lingjian Mountain. The situation may even be worse because Danzong does not practice Taoism and has no combat power.
Currently, only himself, his father and Yuan Chen know about this matter, because everyone knows that if the direct descendant of the Dan Sect cannot control the holy weapon, the impact will be huge.
But she could tell Yan Shuyi because in her eyes they were a family.
So what Yuan Caiwei said today was not false. She really knew that Yan Shuyi would stick to Ji You, so she came to see her specially.
"Sister Jianzhu is the only one of this generation's direct descendants who has successfully mastered the holy weapon, so I think sister may have a way."
Yan Shuyi couldn't help but tremble his eyelashes when he heard her calling him sister. "Although the alchemy of the Dan Sect and the immortal way come from the same origin, they are different after all. Besides, it was Lingjian who took the initiative to come to see me, which is different from Yuanchen's current situation."
Yuan Caiwei thought for a long time before speaking: "Based on my sister's understanding of the holy weapons, could it be that some of the disciples are born unsuitable to wield the holy weapons?"
"In the history of Qingyun, there are not many people who can control holy weapons. I have never heard of such a precedent before."
"Sister may think of another way..."
Yan Shuyi thought for a long time, then gently opened his palm, and then a light flashed from his palm, shining brightly.
Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but stare at it for a long time: "What is this?"
"A ray of the original power of the holy weapon."
"Spiritual Observation?"
Yan Shuyi nodded gently: "The seven sacred artifacts all come from the Heavenly Dao. Logically speaking, they should be of the same origin. You can ask Yuan Chen to try to refine them. You will probably know whether Yuan Chen can wield the sacred artifacts."
Yuan Caiwei raised her eyes and said, "If I can't refine it, then I can't become the holder of the weapon?"
"It should be so."
"But if it's really like what my sister said, then my father can also do this, why didn't he let Yuanchen try it?"
Yan Shuyi looked at her and said, "Maybe it's because it doesn't need to be refined. If this strand of original power resists Yuan Chen, the result will be basically clear. As a bystander, I certainly won't feel anything, but your father may find it difficult to face a predetermined result."
Yuan Caiwei opened her red lips slightly: "Since this is what my father thinks, would it be wrong for me to do this?"
"You don't have to do it, but you have to understand that this is unfair to Yuan Chen because some things may not be his fault."
As soon as she finished speaking, the storage gourd on Xiao Jianzhu's waist suddenly flickered, and a spirit stone appeared in the palm of her other hand.
As she exhaled, as fragrant as orchid, the blue in the spirit stone gradually dissipated, and then the golden source of power was sealed within it.
Yuan Caiwei took the spirit stone, held it in her palm and looked at it for a long time, then looked up at Yan Shuyi.
The origin of the holy weapon comes from within the holy weapon. One more or one less strand will not have any impact, but it definitely cannot be given to others casually.
Although she and Yan Shuyi are sisters, that is only a childhood friendship. In addition, over the years, Danzong has been on good terms with Tianshuyuan and has become estranged from Lingjian Mountain, so their friendship has weakened a lot.
Yuan Caiwei felt that if she came to ask for help based on the good old days, the young master of Lingjian Mountain might not agree.
The reason why she is doing this now is actually because of the relationship between them and Ji You.
Yuan Caiwei felt that although her sister, the master of appraisal, had always been jealous, it was actually because Master Ji had become much closer to her.
but……
Yuan Caiwei held the spirit stone that contained the original power in her hand and fell into silence.
To be honest, she didn't know whether she should give Yuan Chen a try.
Because if A-di could be accepted by the origin of the holy weapon, it would be fine. If not, she couldn't imagine what the Dan Sect would end up like.
But at the same time, she was conflicted, because she knew that what Xiao Jianzhu said was right. If it wasn't that A-di didn't work hard, but that he was wrong in the first place, this matter would be extremely unfair to A-di.
In the warm room, on the thick blanket, both of them fell into silence, only their pink toes moved from time to time.
After thinking for a long time, Yuan Caiwei decided that she should give it a try.
Because if Yuan Chen really cannot control the holy weapon, then this matter will eventually have to be faced.
She raised her head and was about to tell Xiao Jianzhu her thoughts, but before she could call her sister, she found that Xiao Jianzhu seemed to be thinking about something.
The wind and snow outside the window gradually grew stronger, making the room even warmer.
Yan Shuyi, who was sitting on the blanket, suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Caiwei. He still looked cool, but his pink toes couldn't help curling up.
"Caiwei, do you have any elixir that won't hurt the body but can relieve back and abdominal pain?"
"?"
Although Yan Shuyi is the empress who holds the sacred weapon, she really likes to stick to Ji You.
Especially the last time in Anyuan City, she slept in Dengtuzi's arms all night. Although she refused to say it, she actually liked that feeling.
But Ji You's waist is not the same as it was before. The young master was afraid of having sex and didn't dare to stay for long at night.
Yuan Caiwei was stunned for a long time and found that although Yan Shuyi still had that cold expression, there was a hint of evasion in his eyes.
She felt puzzled when Yan Shuyi brought her back, because when she came to Shengjing last time, although she did not live in Ji You's courtyard, she knew that Yan Shuyi lived there every day.
But this time, for some reason, Xiao Jianzhu's sister suddenly refused to stay.
When I heard her talking about a pill that would not harm the body but could relieve the pain in the waist and abdomen, I immediately understood.
The little master of Lingjian Mountain didn't dare to stay overnight because he was afraid...
Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but recall the scene she saw in the medicine pool, and it seemed as if something stood up in her memory.
Whoosh——
The cold wind was blowing outside the window, but the room was quiet.
After a few breaths, Yuan Caiwei, who had been thinking for a long time, looked up at Yan Shuyi and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Actually, I can try to make a pill that doesn't hurt..."
After hearing this, Yan Shuyi narrowed his eyes instantly and looked at her fiercely.
Yuan Caiwei had indeed seen it.
Ever since the last time they went to Lingjian Mountain from Tianshu Academy, Ji You told her that Yuan Caiwei should be the first one to see something good, but she asked Ji You many times and he never told her.
But after seeing it with her own eyes in the Sage Garden, she vaguely guessed what Yuan Caiwei had seen.
This matter was finally confirmed by Yuan Caiwei.
Because if she hadn't seen it, she wouldn't know what she wanted the pill for back and abdominal pain for, nor would she have given a "no pain" pill as an alternative.
The most important thing is that Yan Shuyi felt that her sister kept talking about the "painless" pill, but in fact she was planning it for herself after seeing it.
"How long does it take to refine a pill like this?"
"A pill that doesn't hurt...?"
"A pill that won't hurt your body but will cause back and abdomen pain."
"It will probably take a few days."
Yan Shuyi was silent for a moment, and looked to the side: "Then...what about those that don't hurt?"
Yuan Caiwei lowered her head and looked to the side: "It's about the same time..."
After a long silence, Yan Shuyi stood up from the thick plush carpet and walked out of Yuan Caiwei's room with an indifferent look on his face, as if they had not talked about anything just now, but his cheeks gradually turned red in the cold weather.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu watched this scene in the corridor under the wind and snow, and a trace of confusion appeared in their eyes when they looked at each other.
Every time Jianzhu comes out of her brother-in-law's room, she blushes. Why does she blush now when she comes out of Miss Yuan's room?
At the same time, the small house in the backyard of Wuliu Trading Company was as warm as the Wei family villa with its underground heating because of the lit stove.
In the room, Kuang Cheng, who had not left, was listening to Ji You talking about Fengzhou.
"The sales of spirit stones have been relatively stable recently, and the prices have been raised extremely high. The cost of the disaster relief grain should be able to be recovered."
Ji You took a cotton blanket and put it on his legs: "However, no matter how much grain is harvested, it can only be circulated among the people, so I have always wanted to cultivate spiritual seedlings. I can try it during the spring plowing this year."
Kuang Cheng hugged his shoulders and nodded after hearing Ji You's arrangement.
Just as Ji You said, when the people of Fengzhou still have a surplus of grain production, there is not much significance in increasing the grain production in Fengzhou again.
It has to be like the Snow Demon Stone, needed by those immortal cultivators, so that they can spit out the taxes they have eaten.
Kuang Cheng thought for a long time, and suddenly saw Ji You took another cotton blanket and covered his legs. He looked confused and asked, "Brother Ji, do you feel cold?"
Ji You shook his head in confusion: "It's not cold, I just feel a little chilly around my waist and abdomen..."
