Bab 14: Chapter 14: Qi Nourishing Medicine
Editor: Henyee Translations
Tian Yuan's face slightly darkened. After all, Ye Tianfeng was his disciple. How could his complexion look good when others spoke of him that way?
"Elder Zhao, even if that child's talent you tested is very strong, it cannot compare to Feng'er, can it? Besides his astounding talent in cultivation, he can also become an alchemy master."
Noticing Tian Yuan's unpleasant expression, Elder Zhao realized he had gone too far.
"Master Tianyuan, you are mistaken. That genius is not a child; she is a young girl around fourteen years old."
"Fourteen years old?" Wu Yu frowned, puzzled, and said, "We conduct free tests for the public every three years. Shouldn't a girl of that age have already been tested? Elder Zhao, what exactly happened?"
"I am not entirely sure of the details, but the girl is said to possess the legendary Colorless Talent!"
At the peak of Martial Arts lies nothingness.
Thus, those with the Colorless Talent are destined to reach heights unattainable by ordinary people.
Wu Yu suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Elder Zhao: "Are you serious?"
"It's true," Elder Zhao swallowed hard, his face full of shock as he continued, "To be honest, I still can't believe someone with Colorless Talent has appeared again, and right under my nose. Later, I also tested her spiritual power. The test stone got so overloaded that it exploded."
Wu Yu's mouth hung open, the shock almost overwhelming him.
After a moment, he came back to his senses from Elder Zhao's words and shook his head with a bitter smile: "I suddenly feel the urge to take on a disciple..."
Tian Yuan's body trembled a few times. He hadn't yet recovered from the shock and was stunned by Wu Yu's words.
Who was Master Wu Yu? The chief alchemy master of the Qingyun Sect; even the Sect Leader had to show him respect. When the Sect Leader's daughter wanted to become his apprentice, he flatly refused without any concern for face.
And now he was saying he wanted to take a disciple?
But given that girl's talent, she indeed had the qualifications to become Master Wu Yu's disciple. No wonder the usually proud Master Wu Yu was moved.

On Phoenix City Street, Mu Ruyue stopped, her gaze falling on the medicinal herbs recently thrown out from a pharmacy. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Although these herbs are not valuable, it's a pity to waste them."
Yan Jin was taken aback: "Girl, this lord is not an alchemy master and doesn't understand these things. But any person can see that these herbs are already yellowing and clearly withered. If they aren't discarded, can they still be sold for money?"
Mu Ruyue ignored Yan Jin. She walked to the herbs, carefully picking them up.
"Girl, why do you want these withered herbs?" Yan Jin truly couldn't understand Mu Ruyue's actions.
"Didn't I already say? To make money."
She stuffed the herbs into her bosom, said no more, and turned to walk back the way she came.
By the time Mu Ruyue returned to the Mu Family, it was already dusk. As soon as she got home, she went straight to her room and slammed the door shut.
Yan Jin had no idea what she planned to do and blinked curiously at her.
Mu Ruyue took the withered herbs from her bosom and squinted, deep in thought. In the cultivation world, there is a method called Qi Nourishing Medicine, which can revive dying herbs.
Although Ancient Martial Arts and cultivation are different, there are still commonalities. She wondered if the Qi Nourishing Medicine technique from the cultivation world would work.
Thinking this, she gently placed her palm over the herbs, allowing a faint flow of qi to envelop them...
Actually, Mu Ruyue was merely trying her luck. After all, she hadn't officially started her cultivation journey yet, not even a First-level Warrior. Therefore, if there was even a slight chance, she would teach Yan Jin the method. With his strength, it should be easy to accomplish.
But the result left Mu Ruyue herself stunned...
Under the warmth of her qi, the withered herbs gradually revived, their yellow leaves exuding vibrant life.
Yan Jin was utterly stupefied. Despite all his experience, he had never seen such an extraordinary method.
Moreover, he felt the herbs seemed to have grown significantly...
"What is happening?"
Mu Ruyue withdrew her hand and, seeing the herbs in front of her having grown several times larger, blinked in surprise. Qi Nourishing Medicine was supposed to only revive herbs. When did it also aid in their growth?
All of this was beyond her understanding.
A gleam flashed in her eyes, and a possibility entered Mu Ruyue's mind. Could this be related to her contract with the Dan Book? There was no other explanation.
Now, she needed to grow rapidly. If she reached a certain level, all the mysteries in her heart would surely be resolved.
The next morning.
When the morning light shone on Mu Ruyue's face, she finally emerged from her cultivation. Although the former owner was a waste, she had read many books on cultivation, allowing her to enter the state quickly.
One night wasn't enough to significantly boost her strength, but at least she became a First-level Warrior. She was no longer the worthless person who was despised and bullied!
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and a vicious old nanny walked in, disdainfully scanning the simple furnishings before fixing her gaze on the cold-faced girl.
"Miss, the Family Head wants to see you."
After saying this, she glared fiercely at Mu Ruyue and turned to leave.
Yan Jin slightly narrowed his eyes. Although he hadn't chosen this master willingly, she still bore the title of Lord Yan Jin's master. If others found out his master was bullied by an old woman, where would his honor be?
Whoosh, Yan Jin transformed into a black light and violently charged at the old nanny.
Bang!
With a soft thud, his body slammed into the old nanny's back. Caught unprepared, she rolled down the steps, awkwardly tumbling several times.
The impact nearly broke her old bones.
"Oh no, oh no!" The old nanny cried out in pain from the ground, unable to get up, cold sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Nanny Wang, what's wrong? What happened?"
The maids quickly put down their work and helped the old nanny up from the ground.
"It was the young miss. The young miss hit me. Poor me, dedicating my old bones to the Mu Family, even coming early to wake her up, and she treats me like this."
Nanny Wang cried bitterly, making it seem as if Mu Ruyue had indeed bullied her.
She did not notice, however, that after her words, everyone had peculiar expressions on their faces.
Curiously, she turned and followed everyone's gaze, finding that the cold-faced girl was still sitting on the bed, smiling at her.
But that smile was so cold it sent a chill down her spine.
It had only been a few seconds since Nanny Wang fell. In such a short time, if the young miss had hit her, there wouldn't have been time to return to the bed.
Even Nanny Wang herself didn't understand what had happened.
Mu Ruyue got off the bed, put on her shoes, and when she reached Nanny Wang, she paused, her lips curling, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "Don't offend me, or you will suffer the consequences, just like you did just now!"
At this moment, Mu Ruyue was as dazzling as a bright pearl, exuding radiant brilliance.
For a moment, the maids were stunned. Was this bright and cold girl really their worthless young miss Mu Ruyue? She seemed like a different person.
Ignoring the stares, Mu Ruyue lifted her head high, walking toward the Mu Family hall.
With all eyes on Mu Ruyue, no one noticed that as she left, the small black beast in her bosom raised its head, its bright black eyes flashing with a domineering and violent light.
