Chapter 21: Chapter 21: “Body is a Treasure (2)”

His granddaughter was still so carefree despite experiencing so much hardships. On top of that, she even became so well behaved and sensible. This caused Jun Xian to feel conflicted and inevitably sad.
After all, having him as a grandfather was useless, although she had lost both her parents since young, as her grandfather he couldn't even protect her and give her a stable life…
"This matter I'll leave it to you. As long as you want to, just go for it. Just remember, as long as I am around, no one can bully you." Jun Xian declared with a glint in his eyes. Jun Wu Xie's change naturally made him very happy.
"Thank you, grandfather" she nodded.
"We are family, no need for such formalities! As long as you are happy, as your grandfather, I feel at ease." If she was really interested in medicine it would be a good instead of letting her think of the scoundrel Mo Xuan Fei.
"I will ask the servants to prepare some medical books and herbs for you, if anything is lacking, just tell Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu was an authoritative figure in Lin Palace. He had followed Jun Xian from a young age and was second in command in the Rui Lin Army before handing down his power to Jun Wu Xie's father. After retiring from the army, he took charge of all the household matters in the Lin Palace.
Before it was even lunch time, Uncle Fu sent the servants to send over medical books and herbs. Her room was quickly filled up with medical books and large boxes of medicinal herbs. Jun Xian even instructed for a room near her courtyard to be converted into a pharmacy.
Uncle Fu came by to check if everything was in order after which he left her room. She quickly glanced through a few books nearby. After reading a few casually, she placed them aside.
Those books that were sent to her might not be top tier medical books but they were still very rare books, but once they went through her hands, she could memorise everything and even describe an even more advanced treatment than what was described in the book.
She was despairing at this world's medical level after experiencing first hand through those quacks, she needed to see if the herbs and treatments were any different from her previous world. Although there were some similarities, her comprehension of fusing the medicine and herbs of this world and her previous world was terrifying. In one day, she fully comprehended all of it. The books recorded most of the herbs and efficiency of this world and within a short span, she had them all clearly sorted in her mind.
[When are you going to start?]The black cat walked elegantly around the pharmacy, the room was filled with the scent of nostalgia as the fragrance of herbs filled the room. It suddenly had a flashback of its mistress seated in a similar room surrounded by various herbs and medical books as she dabbled in various prescriptions and treatments for a decade.
"I'm in no hurry." Jun Wu Xie calmly replied as she took little lotus out. To condition and maximise Jun Xian's and Jun Qing's potential, she must master the effects of the Little Lotus.
The white lotus looked like a crown jewel with each petal looking like a crystal,unlike any ordinary lotus she's ever seen. She sucked in a deep breath as she savoured this beauty with her eyes.
She took out a small lotus seed and swallowed it gracefully, what better way to test the effects than herself?
It started off with a dull and uncomfortable pain from her bones as an itching sensation took over. She narrowed her eyes as the pain became more unbearable as the feeling changed with each minute. From a dull itching sensation to a sharp knife-like pain as though someone was sharpening a knife with her bones. She was soon drenched in a thin layer of sweat as she bit her lower lip.
This feeling was worse than being stabbed by a knife!

She endured the excruciating pain for close to an hour when the pain finally subsided. Her clothes clung on to her slim body frame as she was drenched with sweat and a layer of black sticky fluid.
She was finally free from the torment! She gave a sigh of relief as she looked at her hands and those impurities that were expelled out.
"That little guy didn't lie." Jun Wu Xie muttered absentmindedly as she tried to feel what changes were made to her body. She could feel that her joints were more flexible and her body felt lighter as well.
In this world if one wanted to cultivate their spiritual power, one needed an excellent physique. Previously she did not hurry to start cultivating as she had wanted to hone her physique to an almost perfect state before embarking on the arduous journey ahead. Starting with a strong foundation will lead to exponential gains in the future!
After experiencing all the pain and reaping the enormous benefits herself, Wu Jun Xie was convinced that she was ready to start the treatment for Jun Qing and Jun Xian. It was time to improve their constitutions and put Lin Palace back in their rightful place!
One of the main reasons why the Emperor dared to act so presumptuously was because Lin Palace has no successors in line. With Jun Qing crippled and the arrogant good-for-nothing Jun Wu Xie, the seemingly bleak future encouraged such acts against them.
If Jun Xian and Jun Qing are in the pink of health, with their valiant vigor and aura, one would have to think twice before acting against them. With Jun Xian as the backbone of the Rui Lin Army, there can be only one outcome – blood will be shed!
During this time, Jun Wu Xie spent her time scurrying to and fro her little courtyard to her pharmacy, busy conditioning her body's' physique through her diet, when her pale face finally turned a hint of rosy.
Jun Xian was worried that his granddaughter would play doctor only for a short while before her interest died out, hence he was pleasantly surprised to hear that she was busy scuttling to and fro her pharmacy and felt relieved that her complexion was looking better each time he saw her.
In the Imperial Palace, they still have yet to receive any action or any retaliation from the Lin Palace which made the Emperor smile. Lin Palace had chalked up too many military merits over the years. Who would pass up such a great chance like this to bring their name down? This was the desired result he had wished for, crushing them in spirit.
By now, the flames of the malicious rumors of Jun Wu Xie engaging the Rui Lin Army to act on her personal selfish whims had long spread out far beyond the city's walls.
All this while, Jun Xian was trying to trace and find the group of mysterious men in black and get proof to clear Jun Wu Xie's name. He had however a trace of suspicion that they were hiding something important.
All the Second Prince's guards had no complete corpse, as though they had exploded from within. Also, the Second Prince was said to have been badly injured due to fighting with them and fending off their attacks, however he had not been granted any audience with the Second Prince to determine what injuries or what type of weapon had caused them.
Clearly the Imperial Palace was withholding important clues to slow him down in his investigations so as to bring down Jun Wu Xie's reputation.
From morning till night, Jun Xian is always out looking for clues. On the other hand, Jun Wu Yao's figure was rarely seen in the compounds of the Lin Palace. As for Lin Palace matters, only Jun Qing and Jun Wu Xie remained.
