NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 Nuanxin Yiqi Pill
Observing Jun Jiu as she turned and entered the pharmacy, Yun Qiao was determined to take the initiative. However, his servant stopped him out of fear, urging him not to concern himself with the Nuanxin Yiqi Pills and suggesting that they return to have alchemists prepare elixirs for him.
Yun Qiao, undeterred by his servant’s objections, dismissed him and entered the drugstore.
Behind him, Doctor Zhao followed with a stern expression. He, too, was intrigued by the concept of Nuanxin Yiqi Pills and was eager to learn more about them.
As Yun Qiao approached the drugstore, he observed Jun Jiu casually collecting medicinal ingredients and placing them in a basket. Her movements appeared nonchalant, yet each handful of ingredients she gathered was precisely measured.
Yun Qiao was quick to recognize her proficiency in the field of medicine.
Noticing that Jun Jiu had finished collecting the ingredients and was heading toward the medicine grinding furnace, Yun Qiao couldn’t help but smile. “Let me grind the medicine for you.”
“Sure,” Jun Jiu agreed, giving Yun Qiao a few ingredients. “Grind these into powder.”
Yun Qiao’s servant was outraged. He looked at Jun Jiu with anger, questioning how she, a mere girl, dared to instruct his master to grind medicine. Moreover, his master had just suffered from a recurrence of his cold syndrome.
However, when Jun Jiu cast a cold glance at him, the servant’s words were stifled, and he trembled with fear. His voice caught in his throat, and he dared not argue.
Jun Jiu explained to Yun Qiao, “Cold syndrome is not a terminal illness. Appropriate activities can be beneficial.”
Yun Qiao nodded in agreement, offering a polite smile.
Inside Jun Jiu’s mind, Xiao Wu asked, “Master, Yun Qiao seems quite reasonable. But Master, you have Nuanxin Yiqi Pills in your possession. Why go through the trouble of making them again?”
“I want to make them again.”
“Alright,” Xiao Wu responded, sticking out his tongue. Jun Jiu could be quite willful at times, but it was part of her charm.
Jun Jiu expertly handled various medicinal ingredients with precision and speed. Yun Qiao watched her movements, which were akin to creating art. Each action flowed smoothly, resembling the grace of flowing clouds and water.
Nuanxin Yiqi Pills required straightforward refinement, and although the tools in this pharmacy differed from those she used in her previous life, Jun Jiu adapted quickly. Grinding, extracting juice, cooling, kneading—she executed each step seamlessly. Yun Qiao had observed many alchemists in the past, but he had never seen anyone craft elixirs as effortlessly and skillfully as Jun Jiu. Every pill was identical in size, light brown in color, and emitted a subtle fragrance.
Yun Qiao’s eyes brightened as he observed Jun Jiu’s work. In his view, these elixirs were of the highest quality. Their uniformity and aroma indicated superior craftsmanship.
Jun Jiu gathered the pills into a container and handed them to Yun Qiao. “These are Nuanxin Yiqi Pills. When your cold syndrome recurs, take one, and it should effectively alleviate your symptoms. This is the same pill I gave you earlier. Would you like to try it?”
Yun Qiao looked at Jun Jiu earnestly. “May I?”
Upon receiving Jun Jiu’s affirmation, Yun Qiao’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. His pale complexion immediately took on a rosy hue. Without hesitation, he retrieved a Nuanxin Yiqi Pill from the container and consumed it.
