Ji Fengyao said softly, her voice full of concern, "Fortunately, you are a lucky girl. If that thief had hit you any harder, your neck would have been broken."
"Bai Lu, you too! Why didn't you call me when you got up in the middle of the night? At least I could have shielded you for a bit, and you could have taken the time to call someone to catch the thief," Xi Que pouted and complained, then asked, "Did you see who the thief who attacked you was?"
Bai Lu did not answer, but turned her gaze to Lin Shuang beside her.
Lin Shuang quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, bowing her head and saying, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I'm sorry, Sister Bai Lu. Actually, it was I who injured you."
"Sister Lin Shuang?"
"It's you?"
Bai Lu, Ji Fengyao, and Xi Que all looked on with suspicion.
The magpie asked bluntly, "Sister Lin Shuang, why are you hitting the white dew for no reason?"
“Last night I got up in the middle of the night and found that Brother Xiao from the front yard had returned, so…” Lin Shuang bit her lip, feigning a shy and hesitant expression, “Your Highness can ask Brother Xiao to verify this. Later, I wanted to go to the outhouse and saw a dark shadow flash by. I followed it, but who knew it was Sister Bai Lu who rushed out. I acted quickly and struck her hard. Fortunately, my martial arts skills are not good, otherwise… I’m sorry!”
"Sister Lin Shuang, get up quickly. It's just an accident, it's alright," Xi Que quickly stepped forward to help Lin Shuang up.
Lin Shuang remained silent, head bowed, awaiting Ji Fengyao's command.
Ji Fengyao pursed her lips without speaking, then turned to look at Bai Lu, who seemed lost in thought.
When Bai Lu saw Ji Fengyao looking at her, she was surprised to find that Lin Shuang was still kneeling. She quickly got up and, barefoot, went with Xi Que to help Lin Shuang up: "Sister Lin Shuang, please get up quickly. You just mistook me for a thief, and you didn't mean to hit me, right? I don't blame you."
Lin Shuang bit her lower lip, holding back a strong determination, and refused to get up.
Ji Fengyao sighed softly and said, "Bai Lu herself doesn't care, so why make things difficult for her? Get up."
This statement can be both intimate and distant.
It all depends on what the listener thinks.
Lin Shuang lowered her eyelids, knelt and curtsied respectfully, replying, "Yes, Your Highness," before rising with the help of Bai Lu and Xi Que.
Having already eaten breakfast, Ji Fengyao didn't need much service, so she let the three maids stay in her courtyard to rest.
She went to the secret room to organize the newly arrived medicinal herbs.
I tidied up for a while.
Ji Fengyao sat there lost in thought for a while, going through all the medicinal herbs she had on hand, and then selecting more than a hundred kinds to place beside her, preparing to refine the Body Tempering Pill.
The Body Tempering Pill is a second-grade elixir.
In the Danling Continent, let alone a cultivator who has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even a second-tier alchemist with the Core Formation stage might not be confident in refining a Body Tempering Pill. They might even suffer a backlash from the pill's fire, damaging their internal organs and meridians, thus ruining their foundation.
However, Ji Fengyao was not worried that the extreme fire would harm her. It was just that, despite her rich experience in alchemy, it was still a bit of a stretch for her to refine second-grade pills with her current cultivation level of the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering stage.
As Lin Shuang's stubborn and unwilling face flashed before her eyes, Ji Fengyao sighed softly. She took out a few spirit stones from her storage space and set up a small spirit-gathering array around herself to prevent her spiritual energy from running out and causing her to fail at the last minute.
Start the furnace, light the fire, and add the medicine.
Ji Fengyao moved with practiced ease and began refining the Body Tempering Pill in an orderly manner, trying to use as little spiritual power as possible to refine a purer medicinal juice in order to ensure the quality of the pill.
Most of the herbs she currently possesses are common herbs, with very few rare and precious ones.
Therefore, her tempering process took almost twice as long as usual!
