Chapter 194 Healing Elixir
Wen Yuxia happily accepted the seeds, intending to plant them in her small world. Yun Zhiqian chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any cordyceps? I'm willing to pay a high price."
"The price is the same as the previous box," Wen Yuxia went back to her room, retrieved a box of cordyceps, and handed it to Yun Zhiqian. Yun Zhiqian put down the box and rushed out.
He kept saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Please tell Nangong Wenrui that I'll treat him to dinner another day when I have time."
After Nangong Wenrui returned, Wen Yuxia told him that she wanted to plant medicinal herbs in the small world. Nangong Wenrui immediately took Wen Yuxia, Nan Yi, and the others to the small world to sow the medicinal herb seeds.
As time went by, the medicinal herbs grew vigorously. Wen Yuxia discovered that one of the herbs was a miraculous healing medicine she had read about in ancient books. This medicine could not only heal wounds, but also stimulate the latent spiritual power within the body during the healing process.
Wen Yuxia happily told Nangong Wenrui the news, but Nangong Wenrui said seriously, "This matter must not be told to outsiders, including Xia Yichen."
It can stimulate the spiritual energy within the human body; once the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of various forces. Although Nangong Wenrui is not afraid, Wen Yuxia and her brother also have the ability to protect themselves.
If the various forces couldn't deal with Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia, how could they not deal with the Wen family of Fancheng?
Wen Yuxia was well aware of the saying, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," so she followed Nangong Wenrui's advice. The efficacy of the healing elixir was known only to her and Nangong Wenrui.
Wen Yuxia pulled two plants from the field, handed one to Nangong Wenrui, and took the other, cleaning the soil off its roots and stems before popping it into her mouth.
After consuming a herb, Wen Yuxia felt a warm current slowly rising from her feet. Then, the upward surge stopped.
After pausing for a moment, the warm current slowly receded back to the soles of her feet. Wen Yuxia closed her eyes and carefully felt it, only to find that the warm current that had returned to her feet had inexplicably disappeared.
At this moment, Nangong Wenrui closed his eyes and tried his best to sense the spiritual energy. The final result was the same as Wen Yuxia's: the warm current started from the soles of his feet and then disappeared.
After summarizing her experience, Wen Yuxia calmly said, "The medicine isn't effective enough. Starting tomorrow, take one plant every day, and see if it works after a month."
There weren't many healing elixirs in the small world, so Wen Yuxia planned to have Nangong Wenrui take them first, while she and Wen Yunhong would take them after the next batch of healing elixirs matured.
Although Nan Yi and the others were loyal, Wen Yuxia was afraid that they would become unruly if they aroused their spiritual power. So she did not intend to let them take the healing medicine. Instead, she left about ten healing herbs as seeds. Wen Yuxia and her husband worked together to pull the other healing herbs out of the field.
In the days that followed, Nangong Wenrui took one dose of the healing herb daily, as instructed by Wen Yuxia, while Wen Yuxia carefully tended to the remaining healing herbs and other crops in the field.
A month later, Nangong Wenrui took the healing elixir and attempted to activate his spiritual power. This time, he felt the warm current smoothly spread throughout his body, finally converging in his dantian.
He opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Wen Yuxia. Just as he was about to tell her the good news, he felt the warm current gathering in his dantian disappear.
Wen Yuxia saw the surprise and disappointment on Nangong Wenrui's face. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort to him, the sky suddenly darkened, a gust of cold wind blew by, and a bad premonition welled up in Wen Yuxia's heart.
A mysterious figure in black robes appeared at the entrance to the black market, revealing a set of large yellow teeth and grinning sinisterly, "You think you can hide it from everyone? I detected the aura of this healing elixir a long time ago."
Nangong Wenrui instinctively shielded Wen Yuxia behind him, coldly saying, "If you want to snatch it, you'll have to see if you have the ability."
The two sides instantly became tense, and Nan Yi and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion, standing behind Nangong Wenrui. A major battle was about to break out.
Nangong Wenrui used his mind to control the old man in black, then extended both palms and struck the old man's mouth with steady, accurate, and ruthless force.
However, the old man in black gave a strange smile, and his body vanished into thin air. Nangong Wenrui's attack missed its target. Immediately afterward, five identical black figures emerged from the surrounding area.
These were all puppets summoned by the old man in black. The puppets were agile and pounced straight at Nangong Wenrui and his group. Nan Yi and the others fought bravely, but there were too many puppets.
Wen Yuxia's heart stirred; she thought the healing elixir in the field might come in handy. She gestured for Nangong Wenrui to take the elixir, then rushed towards the puppets.
Nangong Wenrui saw through Wen Yuxia's intention. She was desperately resisting the puppet to buy Nangong Wenrui time to take the medicine. Nangong Wenrui took out two herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. He chewed them a couple of times and swallowed them.
