Over the next few days, Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, and others searched the Nanli Prince's Mansion for any clues of collusion with others, preparing to completely raid the Nanli Prince's Mansion.
Ji Fengyao, on the other hand, diligently refined pills every day in preparation for training a large number of guards.
On the surface, the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the Anping Prince's Mansion appeared calm and peaceful, but in reality, everyone was working at full speed, preparing for the coming storm.
After several days of intense alchemy practice, Ji Fengyao was starting to feel the strain.
She understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.
That afternoon, Ji Fengyao decisively stopped refining pills and emerged from the dark room, swinging her little hands as she prepared to take a good rest.
She had mastered the Body Tempering Pill a long time ago, and taking advantage of this break, she decided to help Lin Shuang and Bai Lu temper their bodies, so that the two girls could also improve their strength.
Even if they become a couple more helpful assistants in the future, or can offer any real assistance, at least they should have basic self-protection capabilities when facing danger.
"Body tempering?" Upon hearing Ji Fengyao's words, Bai Lu was initially delighted, but then pouted and asked anxiously, "Will it hurt a lot?"
“Yes, it hurts a lot.” Ji Fengyao nodded and explained in detail the process and benefits they would face: “The Body Tempering Pill will forcibly remove the impurities from your body. The first time will be like being reborn, so it will naturally hurt a lot.”
Moreover, unlike a medicinal bath, which can be stopped midway through, this is not like a medicinal bath.
Once the Body Tempering Pill is taken, there is no going back.
However, after completing the three body tempering sessions, your cultivation speed will likely increase by about 50%, allowing you to go further and achieve greater success in the future.
Lin Shuang felt a mix of emotions, and was also somewhat shocked.
She never expected that the princess would suddenly grant them such a stroke of good fortune;
She never expected that the princess would even know how to change other people's fates!
In Lin Shuang's eyes, such a princess was practically a god-like being.
Does that mysterious man in black know how terrifying the princess is?
Can he stand up to the princess?
"Your Highness, does Miss Xique need to temper her body?" Lin Shuang's mind raced, but she still returned to Xique.
Both Xique and Bailu were taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Lin Shuang with a strange expression.
But then, Bai Lu seemed to realize something and laughed, "Three times per person, which means there are six pills. Then Sister Lin Shuang and I will each give one to Sister Xi Que, so that we can each temper our bodies twice."
"How can I do this? These are pills that Miss specially made for you. I can't take them," Xique said, scratching her head sheepishly, genuinely refusing.
Bai Lu hugged Xi Que's arm affectionately and said, "It's okay, we are sisters, we are family, we should share good things together."
Besides, the elixir was refined by the Princess Consort, not just this once; when the Princess Consort refines it again later, she can reward you, and you can then share it with me and Sister Lin Shuang.”
Even though Ji Fengyao was warm-hearted, a slight chill ran through her heart after hearing Lin Shuang's words. However, she still smiled and patiently explained, "We don't need to worry about Xique for now. Her situation is different from yours. Successfully establishing her foundation will not be a problem for her."
"The greatest benefits will come from tempering her body and reshaping her meridians once she has established her foundation."
"Did you hear that? It's not my turn yet, so I don't need to share with you." Xi Que looked at Bai Lu and Lin Shuang with a grin.
Lin Shuang bowed her head gracefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am deeply grateful."
Bai Lu stuck out her tongue, tightened her grip on the magpie, and said anxiously, "But I'm afraid of getting hurt."
