Chapter 700: Chapter 628, Blazing_1

Watching Gu Jian and Daohua rushing down to the village to prepare their medicinal bath, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao, and Yan Wenkai exchanged glances, feeling as if they were being struck by an unexpected pie falling from the sky when the Eight Meridian Pills suddenly became available.

The three of them deeply understood the rarity and value of the Eight Meridian Pills, which is why they still felt somewhat bewildered even now.

"Let’s go, we should head down too," Xiao Yeyang was the first to snap back to reality.

Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai quickly nodded in agreement.

On the way down the mountain, the three men slowly regained their composure from the initial ecstasy. Yan Wenkai immediately patted his chest with relief, "Thank goodness there were three Eight Meridian Pills."

Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao both nodded with evident agreement.

Yan Wenkai then said, "Thank goodness my sister is so understanding."

Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao nodded again.

They had seen the dissatisfaction on Daohua’s face earlier, and since she had provided the herbal ingredients for the Eight Meridian Pills, who could deny her if she demanded one for herself?

Seemingly struck by a thought, Yan Wenkai quickly stepped forward to stop Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao: "Listen, we have received such a great favor from my eldest sister, we must look out for her in the future. If anyone dares to bully her, we will obliterate them," he said, clenching his fists fiercely as he spoke.

Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao both rolled their eyes at him, inwardly scoffing that there was no need for him to say so. They then bypassed him, one on each side, and continued walking down the mountain.

Yan Wenkai, feeling ignored, hurriedly shouted as he chased after them.

In the village, vats of strong-smelling medicinal soup were poured into three bath tubs. Gu Jian handed over the Eight Meridian Pills to Xiao Yeyang and the others: "After you eat the pills, soak in the medicinal tubs."

The three men obediently complied. Although the medicinal liquid in the tubs was exceedingly hot, they clenched their teeth and sat down in them.

Daohua watched from the side, unable to help but feel pained for the three men.

Seeing this, Gu Jian chuckled, "Weren’t you the one clamoring to practice internal martial arts? You can’t even tolerate a bit of heat."

Daohua stubbornly retorted, "I could endure it too if there were extra Eight Meridian Pills."

Gu Jian shook his head, not wanting to argue further with his disciple, and rubbed his lower back, "You keep watch over them here, I need to go rest for a while. After being this busy for so long, my old arms and legs can’t take much more."

Daohua quickly nodded, "Master, you should go rest."

...

Taohua Temple.

As soon as Gu Jian returned, Dongli and Caiju knelt down.

Looking at the stern-faced Gu Jian, Dongli took the initiative to admit his fault, "Old master, it was my carelessness today that nearly revealed my identity."

Gu Jian looked at him indifferently, "Is carelessness all it was?"

Dongli pursed his lips; he did not feel he had done anything wrong. After all, the precious Eight Meridian Pill should be actively offered to the emperor.

Gu Jian said gravely, "I know what you are thinking, but don’t forget, the ingredients for the Eight Meridian Pills were gathered by that girl Daohua. She has the right to decide their distribution. Even if Xiaowu is the ruler of the world, he cannot forcibly claim what belongs to someone else."

Old Granny Gu sat silently on the side, listening without interrupting.

Caiju realized Gu Jian was genuinely angry and quickly responded, "The old master is right. We were mistaken in this matter. Yan Miss does not know our identities and does not recognize the ruler, so it is understandable that she did not think to present the Eight Meridian Pill to the master. When you have something good, it is natural to want to use it for the people closest to you."

Hearing this, Gu Jian’s expression eased slightly.

Caiju and Dongli could directly pass messages to Xiaowu, and this outburst from Gu Jian was because he feared they would speak out of turn and cause Xiaowu to have discontent towards Daohua.

Seeing Gu Jian’s face relax, both Caiju and Dongli breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jian: "The three Eight Meridian Pills that were concocted today were also given to the three children with my consent, and I hope you understand that." He was the master, and if he truly wanted to keep one for himself, he believed that Daohua and Yeyang would willingly step aside.

Caiju and Dongli promptly nodded their heads.

During the days they spent serving the two elderly masters, they had noticed that the Yan family’s eldest daughter was truly filial to them, and if the elderly masters wanted to keep an Eight Meridian Pill, they would definitely be able to do so.

Caiju hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Elder Master, we will not recklessly convey messages to the master."

Gu Jian finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have kept the porcelain basin that Daohua used to pick the Jingmiao Grass. Write a letter to Xiaowu and ask if he can find Jingmiao Grass Seeds. Perhaps, we can also cultivate Jingmiao Grass."

Upon hearing this, both Caiju and Dongli’s eyes lit up.

"I will write the letter immediately."

After the two left, Granny Gu turned to Gu Jian, "Is that thing so precious?"

Gu Jian nodded, "Who doesn’t want to become a master of Internal Martial Arts?"

Granny Gu, puzzled, said, "Xiaowu is the emperor; he doesn’t need to be a master, right?"

Gu Jian looked at Granny Gu, "Practicing Internal Martial Arts can strengthen one’s body and extend one’s lifespan. Don’t you think Xiaowu needs that?"

He, an attendant, had lived to this day precisely because he had practiced Internal Martial Arts.

Otherwise, his health would be even worse than his sister’s.

Granny Gu now took the matter more seriously, "Can we still concoct Eight Meridian Pills then?"

Gu Jian shook his head, "I don’t know. To this day, I still haven’t figured out how that girl Daohua was able to grow Jingmiao Grass. It all depends on whether Xiaowu can find Jingmiao Grass Seeds. The rest of the medicinal ingredients are still available, so concocting another batch won’t be a problem."

Granny Gu fell silent for a moment, "We will definitely find them."

Gu Jian did not want to dash his sister’s hopes and so smiled and agreed, though he wasn’t very optimistic in his heart.

Jingmiao Grass was precious, and its seeds were rare. Besides, compared to Jingmiao Grass, who would bother to collect Jingmiao Grass Seeds?

...

Meanwhile, in Beijing.

Inside the Four Seasons Seed Store, Qin Xiaoliu and Zhao Yongwang were swamped, dealing with customers who were rushing to buy seeds.

Ever since the vegetables and fruits from the Four Seasons Manor began to ripen one after another, the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop had become incredibly popular. Customers who had made purchases there found their produce tastier than that of any other shop.

But the manor could only yield so much, and since the shop had limit on purchases, the amount available to buy was naturally restricted; this led to the Seed Store also becoming popular.

If they couldn’t buy ready produce, why not grow it themselves?

Especially since the store displayed the yield per acre, and given the astonishingly high figures, people flocked to the store even more eagerly.

Ordinary people came for the high yield, while wealthier families came both for the high yield and the superior quality.

Seeing the long queue of people waiting to buy seeds, Prince Rui fanned himself and marveled. He could never have imagined that the hottest shop in Beijing would be the one selling the most ordinary vegetables, fruits, and seeds.

Not only him, but other noble and influential individuals felt the same way.

Although everyone was intensely curious about the two shops that had suddenly become hot, no one dared to make any rash investigations.

The reason was simple: they had not received any news of the emperor bestowing Four Seasons Manor on anyone. Therefore, the owners of these two shops might very well be the one sitting in the Jinluan Hall.
