Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Jinnian’s Probe
When I visited the Moon Appreciation Sect, I didn’t bring Madam Qian and the others with me, but left them in Licheng.
Yun Jinnian pondered for a moment after hearing this, "How about I develop some medicine pills and have them take them back to the Emperor?"
Yuwen Ya shook his head, "I don’t think that’s appropriate. I haven’t had much contact with the Emperor, but I always feel that His Majesty is not very magnanimous. If Madam Qian and the others return, I’m afraid they won’t be able to live!"
"How could that be..."
Yun Jinnian was surprised.
Although they had been unsuccessful in their task, Madam Qian and the others hadn’t made any serious mistakes.
"Whether that will be the case is still hard to say for now, but once we get back to the Capital City, if the Emperor rewards them to you, you should accept them. At worst, you can spend some silver to keep them and send them far away!"
"Hmm, I’ll listen to Seventh Brother on this matter!"
Yuwen Ya began to smile, "Ah, by the way, since you mentioned making medicine pills, could you spare a few for me? I’ll pay you with silver. My grandmother is getting on in years, and I’m thinking..."
Yun Jinnian smiled warmly and tenderly, "If Seventh Brother wishes to show filial piety, naturally, I should help you fulfill this. Just one thing, you must not give them to me as a gift!"
"Deal, I’ll wait for you to give them to me, and then take them to show my filial respect to Grandmother. Maybe I can keep some for myself first, in case I make a mistake and my father wants to punish me, I can bribe Grandmother to spare me a beating!" Yuwen Ya said, laughing heartily to himself.
Yun Jinnian continued to smile tenderly, her expression gentle and light, but her eyes and brows carried a hint of mirth.
Being able to make Yun Jinnian laugh, Yuwen Ya felt quite accomplished.
He also doted on Yun Jinnian as if she were his little sister.
Although he had many sisters, those sisters had more tricks up their sleeves than a hornet’s nest, and he found them tiresome. Yuwen Ming was slightly better and wasn’t so petty.
After sitting for a while, Yuwen Ya left.
Yun Jinnian was going to refine the elixir with Elder Mu and Elder Tu. They said in a few days, all the disciples would come back to pay respects to the Saintess, and she needed to reward them for their efforts.
For this, she had already given blood once.
A small bowl of it.
It was only then that Yun Jinnian learned her blood could detoxify and was the primer for all poisonous insect poisons in Nanjiang.
"Saintess, the soup is ready!"
Telan said, bringing in the soup cup, placing it beside Yun Jinnian, urging her to drink all of the Blood Lotus Soup.
Three bowls a day, morning, noon, and night, Yun Jinnian was almost sick from drinking so much.
But she couldn’t stop drinking it, and after consuming the Blood Lotus Soup, she found herself growing taller, her leg injuries healing faster, and even the wounds on her wrists healing quickly.
She frowned as she drank, then asked Telan, "Does the young master have some?"
"Yes, it’s already been sent over!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and nodded slightly.
Tianci was clever, drinking half a bowl and saving the rest for Chu Yu. Chu Yu knew it was Yun Jinnian’s instruction and didn’t mind, gulping it down in a few swallows.
For this, Yun Jinnian had specially praised them.
The Law Master and the five elders all knew what Yun Jinnian was doing, but they pretended not to know. Han Tianci was in good health, and indeed, consuming too much tonic was not good for him. As for Chu Yu, his health was also fine, eating too much was not appropriate, and sharing half a bowl with Han Tianci was just right.
"Saintess, Elder Mu said the first batch of the elixir is about to be ready, please go over!" Liuka spoke softly.
Ever since the Law Master showed up, Liuka knew she was no longer destined to be the Saintess.
On the surface, she was respectful to Yun Jinnian, but her mind was full of schemes.
Yun Jinnian frowned, "Is it ready so soon?"
According to the estimates, it shouldn’t be until tomorrow.
"Yes, that’s why the elder has asked for the Saintess to come over!" Liuka said, lowering her gaze, not daring to look at Yun Jinnian.
Guilty.
Yun Jinnian pursed her lips slightly, "You go tell Elder Mu that I’ve just had the soup and don’t feel like moving. Let them handle it themselves!"
