Chapter 95: Chapter 85 The Origin of Jiazi Taisui [First Update!]_2

Mr. Lu spoke calmly, "This medicine must be timed perfectly, we cannot delay."

Left with no choice, the Han Commander had to bow his hands and bid farewell.

But observing his steps, he seemed much more relaxed.

"Mr. Lu has sent the Commander away, is there something you wish to instruct the junior?"

Lin Yan turned his head and asked this.

"I’ll tell him next time."

Mr. Lu said, then added, "Indeed, we can’t delay this medicinal bath. Go and soak in it, and you need to add medicine seven times."

——

About half an hour later.

The sixth dose of medicine was first put into the pot to boil.

However, this time, an extra ingredient was added.

"There isn’t enough Jiao Linma scales for the seventh medicine preparation, fetch two more pieces."

Mr. Lu, looking at the white scales in his hands, turned his head towards Lv Tang.

The scales were about an inch long, pure white and as translucent as jade.

These scales came from a Jiao Linma.

One of the six major families within the inner city, the Bai family, had previously acquired a Jiao Linma, intending to gift it to Mr. Lu.

But Mr. Lu was always reluctant to accept gifts from all quarters.

So officially, the Bai family asked Mr. Lu to train it, even bearing all the costs for the horse’s upkeep themselves.

Still, Mr. Lu did not agree.

However, the Bai family did not take the Jiao Linma back to the inner city, but temporarily left it at the stable in Qingshan Square.

"Every time I use the scales of this Jiao Linma in medicine, I almost pluck it bald."

Lv Tang grumbled, "These past few days, I’ve been secretly taking the scales, and those horse keepers are almost going crazy."

In the eyes of the coachmen, the Jiao Linma was losing scales every day, and the scales were disappearing, probably chewed up by the horse.

This mysterious illness had the men dedicated to horse care frantic for days, trying methods to no avail, nearly driving them to tears.

"It’s hard on this horse," Mr. Lu chuckled, pulled out something and said, "Feed this to that Jiao Linma, consider it compensation for taking its scales recently."

"What’s this?" Lv Tang asked in surprise.

"Feed it and you’ll find out later," Mr. Lu replied.

"Alright then."

Lv Tang agreed and said, "Qing’er just came back, having her here, I can rest easy. I’ll head out now to feed the horse."

After Lv Tang hurriedly ran out of the yard,

In another part of the house, a young girl came out through the door.

"I just checked the medicinal herbs, they all nourish the spirit and benefit the blood, only this Jiao horse’s scale seems to have no benefit to his injury."

The girl walked into the yard, leaned close to the medicinal pot, sniffed and then asked, "Mr. Lu, what’s the purpose of adding this extra ingredient?"

"It has no effect for now, but later on, it will be very useful, life-saving indeed."

Mr. Lu spoke unhurriedly, "By the way, when you leave High Willow City, you also need to do me a favor."

"Understood."

The girl nodded her head and turned towards the house.

Mr. Lu paused then couldn’t help but say, "Aren’t you going to ask what favor I need help with?"

The girl stopped in her tracks, turned around, and blinked, "What favor?"

"I can’t say just yet, I’ll tell you in advance when the time comes."

"Oh."

"Aren’t you curious?"

"Should I be?"

Mr. Lu fell silent.

"Anyway, Mr. Lu wouldn’t harm me, why ask so many questions?" the girl said lightly, "I’ve been forgetful lately, you’ll have to remember it yourself, don’t forget it later on."

"Yes."

Mr. Lu answered in a muted voice, inwardly thinking, "She clearly agreed to help, so how come I feel like I’ve been stifled? Truly depressing..."

With such thoughts, Mr. Lu ground the Jiao Lin scales into fine powder and poured them into the medicine pot.

However, for some unknown reason, as he quietly watched the boiling medicine in the pot, his expression gradually grew solemn.

After a while, he heard a knock on the gate from outside the courtyard.

Mr. Lu frowned, as he was accustomed to refusing visitors while engaged in his tasks.

But, his gaze swept over the stand sent by Lin Lei, where he would normally place the medicinal ingredients.

He couldn’t help but chuckle and lightly stroke his beard before going to open the gate himself.

Outside stood a middle-aged man dressed in white.

Upon seeing Mr. Lu open the gate, the man in white immediately bent forward in a greeting.

"The younger generation greets Mr. Lu."

"It’s you." Mr. Lu was not surprised and welcomed him into the courtyard, slowly saying, "The affairs of High Willow City lately have unexpectedly disturbed even you, the internal affairs manager of Qifeng Prefecture City."

"Given the gravity of the matter at hand, it required a thorough investigation, and the city selected me to come."

The man in white followed behind and softly said, "Moreover, this time, as it involves Tribulation Ash, to eradicate this disaster, Qifeng Prefecture has decided to generously reward those involved."

"What I am transporting this time is extremely precious, to avoid any mishaps en route, I have undertaken its delivery personally."

"Deputy Commander Zhu of the city guards is accompanying the troop."

"The ceremony will take place tomorrow afternoon."

The man in white spoke in a low voice, "Around the day after tomorrow in the early morning, we intend to leave and return to Qifeng Prefecture, so today, I have come to pay a visit to Mr. Lu first."

"Had I known you were arriving so soon, I wouldn’t have used the Observatory’s channel to copy the Strange Books last time. They haven’t arrived yet."

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly, then gestured for the man in white to sit down.

The man in white reached into his robe, retrieved a small pouch, and said, "I heard that a Flag Commander at the Observatory was gravely injured in this matter and has been unconscious since. He obviously can’t participate in tomorrow’s ceremony, so I have left his reward here first."

"That’s fine, leave it here."

As Mr. Lu said this, he further inquired about tomorrow’s reward ceremony.

Listening to the man in white detailing it one by one, Mr. Lu’s expression became somewhat astonished.

"Qifeng Prefecture intends to award the Green Phoenix Seal to the Southern City Commandant Wang Yuan, and also bestow upon him a Heavenly Sun Divine Pill?"

"Commandant Wang Yuan acts decisively, anticipates the enemy’s moves, makes swift decisions, timely extinguished the threat, and thereafter aptly managed the aftermath."

The man in white smiled and said, "From what we know, this crisis had been quelled before it could even begin, and Commandant Wang Yuan played a crucial role in this affair!"

"Hmm."

Mr. Lu looked unchanged and spoke blandly, "With your status, coming to High Willow City, presumably all the significant powers in the inner city are scrambling to host you and clean the dust of your journey, off you go."

"..."

The man in white looked somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Mr. Lu suddenly issued an order to leave.

"I’m quite busy today, needing to finish this medicinal brew."

Mr. Lu said, "Tomorrow I should be available, probably before the reward ceremony, and will come find you. Remember to invite Deputy Commander Zhu to discuss the classification of the ’Refining Essence Realm’ in cultivation with me in detail."

"Ah?"

The man in white showed a delighted expression and said, "Do Deputy Commander Zhu and I also qualify to discuss this matter with Mr. Lu?"

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "I’m undecided, so since you both are here, it’s just right to provide me with some insights."

The man in white promptly rose and bent forward in a greeting, his heart filled with immense excitement.

This was about defining future cultivation realms!

Even if his input wasn’t adopted, just being with Mr. Lu to participate and set a name would be enough to leave a mark in history!

"Go then!"

Mr. Lu waved his hand.

The man in white left with overwhelming joy, hardly able to express his excitement, and deeply bowed before departing.

Then Mr. Lu’s gaze turned toward Lin Yan’s room as he spoke, "With your cultivation, though you’re weak at the moment, you probably heard, how do you feel?"

In Mr. Lu’s eyes, Lin Yan must have exerted the most effort, yet the greatest credit went to Commandant Wang Yuan.

Anyone knowing this would unavoidably feel disappointed, especially a young person, proud and vigorous, with the credit going to someone else, his emotions were surely more complex at the moment.

Unexpectedly, from inside came Lin Yan’s voice, questioning, "The classification of ’Refining Essence Realm’? Mr. Lu is setting the detailed path for future cultivation?"
