She was right! This girl does have feelings for Li Xuan.
However, Xue Yunrou, seemingly oblivious, grinned and looked around, "Why are you all staring at ? Please sit."
Madam Xue and Mrs. Jiang glanced at each other, keeping their expressions neutral, but their eyes reflected a storm of emotions.
Li Xuan felt chills shooting down his spine. He realized that even though he had managed to escape from the Earl Chengyi’s mansion’s pitfall, he had just now stepped into another hell.
Was it his fate to end up cremated no matter what choice he made?
At this mont, he began to abhor his emotional intelligence. If it was slightly lower, he could be eating and drinking happily right now.
However, the abalone soup was really delicious and tempting—
Once everyone had taken their seats, Lady Jiang turned to Jiang Hanyun, "Hanyun, you serve the dishes for Xuan."
Jiang Hanyun froze for a mont, hesitating. But before she could make any decision, Xue Yunrou had already taken the public chopsticks eagerly, "Let do it! I know what Li Xuan likes to eat."
She piled up more than a dozen spoons of food onto Li Xuan’s plate, filling it to boiling in no ti.
"Li Xuan, try this. It’s the essence from the abalone heart, one of the most delicious part from the abalone. Auntie’s cooking is superb, and the marinade used is a special formula from my uncle. It can strengthen your body and replenish your Yuan Qi. Also, this Zixin Grass is a vegetable from the Western Region; it is excellent at neutralizing greasiness."
Yet every ti she served Li Xuan a dish, Madam Xue’s face turned three shades greener.
By the ti Li Xuan’s plate was piled high with food, Madam Xue’s face had turned black as a pot bottom.
Lady Jiang was also fuming. She shot her disobedient daughter a fierce look before turning to give Jiang Yunqi an angry stare. However, the latter was oblivious, only focusing on eating and drinking until Lady Jiang coughed twice in annoyance; he then realized he should talk to Li Xuan.
"Nephew, were you hurt today? You look pale, and your Qi is low."
"Indeed."
Li Xuan replied politely and honestly, "I encountered a villain today and almost perished. Luckily, I survived thanks to so luck."
"That villain must have been exceptional. I can sense that your magical instrunts resonate perfectly with your Qi, indicating that your Great Rectitude Martial Intention has reached a high level. And your basic Thunder Style and Ice Style have achieved so progress. There aren’t many Wu cultivators who could pose a threat to your life."
After Jiang Yunqi finished speaking, he offered his hand, "Let take your pulse."
Li Xuan eagerly extended his left hand. Jiang Yunqi placed his index finger on Li Xuan’s wrist. After a mont, Jiang Yunqi looked puzzled, "Your current condition is strange, Nephew. There are minor injuries in your internal organs, but those are not serious due to your intake of our Taiyi Shengyuan Elixir. This golden abalone is also a divine item for nourishing the body and rejuvenating the internal organs.
The problem lies elsewhere. Your Sheng Yuan is plentiful, but it seems to be suppressed by so Qi of Yinhan, even affecting your heart pulse, almost posing a threat to your life. What is strange is, I can’t identify the source of the Qi of Yinhan."
Li Xuan thought to himself, ’What a divine doctor! He is much more skilled than the eminent monks and virtuous hermits my father invited.’
What the doctor referred to as Qi of Yinhan was probably the Yinsha that was lingering in his body.
The Jianzhi Barrier from the red-clothed female ghost was getting stronger and stronger, so even this veteran Wu cultivator who was close to the heavenly level had no idea.
"So, is there a way to counteract this Qi of Yinhan?"
"Of course, there is. Strengthening your foundation and nurturing your origin should work. After dinner, I will write you an elixir formula, which you can use to make elixirs for daily consumption. If you cannot find anyone to concoct the elixir, you can go to my dical clinic."
Jiang Yunqi then smiled and asked, "You are already eighteen, aren’t you? Why haven’t you opened the Second Door at this age?"
Li Xuan smiled sheepishly upon hearing this, "I was too reckless and wayward in the past, thereby delaying my martial arts training."
Jiang Yunqi was not surprised, "Most of the noble young n from your generation are just like that. But you can’t neglect it anymore. You must practice diligently every day and open the Third Door as soon as possible, to prevent this Yin Qi from harming you. Fortunately, I have prepared so gifts for you which may help your cultivation."
He clapped his hands and ordered a servant, "Bring those things over. And also, the ’Yuanyang Blood Jade’ from my room."
Soon, a few bottles of elixirs and a piece of crystal-clear, bright-red jade were delivered.
"These elixirs were made using secret formulas I developed over the years. They can not only strengthen your body and aid in your cultivation but can also replenish your deficient Yuan Qi. As for this ’Yuanyang Blood Jade,’ it’s a rare jade I found in the East Sea. Apply it to your chest when you cultivate daily; it has miraculous effects in enhancing Zhenyuan, enabling you to achieve more with less effort.
The fact that Hanyun could open the Third Door at such an early age was largely credited to this ’Yuanyang Blood Jade.’ So, I’m temporarily lending you this jade. You can return it when you’ve opened the Third Door. Also, since you cultivate Thunder Style, I’ll teach Hanyun a Forbidden Spell of Thunder Style, which she can use on you daily. It will help you strengthen your internal organs and nourish your thunder power. Before opening the Third Door, its effects are no less than those of the ’Yuanyang Blood Jade.’ It’s simple; just spend a mont each day."
Li Xuan was overjoyed, but then his expression turned a bit weird.
He wondered, ’Did Jiang Hanyun also stick the ’Yuanyang Blood Jade’ to her chest during her cultivation in the past?’
