For several days in a row, the courtyard was peaceful. Qian Youxue slept during the day and tried to digest the things she had inherited as quickly as possible at night.
In just a few days, he not only cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Martial Realm, but also mastered the first move of the fire-type technique, the Gate of Earthly Fire, to a considerable degree.
She was originally a genius in medicine and poison. With the inheritance of the Nine-Wandering Pill Furnace, she directly skipped the medicine apprentice and entered the ranks of low-level alchemists at the ninth level. She tried her best to cross the threshold of low-level alchemists and enter the ranks of intermediate alchemists. However, her spiritual power was really limited. To continue to improve, she had to improve her true strength in order to better utilize her genius soul power.
However, Shu Nu said that such talent was the most amazing he had ever seen.
The illusory world within the painting was filled with numerous spiritual herbs, nourished by extraordinary spiritual energy. These herbs were of far superior quality compared to those found outside. The pills she had refined these past few days seemed quite good; just from the wafting fragrance, she was certain they could fetch a good price.
Thinking of the piles of silver, Qian Youxue's mood improved day by day. In order not to alert the enemy, she deliberately asked Shu Nu for a spatial ring. This spatial ring could not only store inanimate objects, but also conceal one's cultivation level. It had a much larger capacity than the ones Wu Xie had given her before.
In this way, even if she wanted to do something, it wouldn't be easy for her to be discovered. More importantly, she needed the identity of a weakling to find the person who was really targeting the original owner of the body.
Looking at the prescription she had just written, she decided to go for a walk in the suburbs tonight, hoping to find the medicinal herb that would help her recover.
So, when the night was deep and quiet, she tampered with Lianxin's clothes and left the Qian family with peace of mind. She then used the skills she had learned in the past few days to rush towards the outskirts of the city.
...
In the dimly lit hall, a man in a purple robe leaned against the bed. Beneath a silver mask, his handsome face exuded a captivating mystery as he lazily squinted at the person kneeling on the ground.
"Please forgive me, Master, we have not yet found any trace of that woman." Leng Xue knelt on one knee, head bowed, not daring to look at his master.
The man took out the silk scarf. It was a pure white scarf embroidered with a very ordinary, unidentified little flower. Most women would embroider their names on their scarves, but this scarf had nothing on it except for the little flower. Relying on such a simple item to find someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Did that woman just appear out of thin air?
He held the silk scarf to his nose and smelled it; the faint scent of medicine gradually calmed his restless mind.
interesting!
He had never encountered such a bold woman before, who dared to openly flirt with him; for that alone, he could not let her go.
"Go down and receive your punishment!" he waved his hand lazily.
"Yes!" Leng Xue immediately disappeared from the main hall.
The man tightened his grip on the silk handkerchief, sat up, and his magnetic voice rang out again: "Any movement over there?"
"Your Majesty, there has been no movement these past few days. However, those ladies in the palace seem to be getting restless lately; one of them wants to choose a consort for the Crown Prince." Another figure emerged from the darkness.
The Crown Prince is choosing a consort!
The man's lips curled slightly, his face turning icy cold. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Make yourselves ready. I want to see which woman has caught that woman's eye."
"Yes!" The shadowy figure quickly retreated.
