Wait a minute, where is my master?

"Brother Xu, the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill has been refined."

Jin Xu stood under the eaves, holding a pill between his fingers, and transmitted his voice to Xu Qian beside him.

At the same time, he turned his head to Yu Yaoer who had finished tidying up the courtyard affairs and had come back carrying a firewood knife, inquiring,

"Little Yu, how should one take this pill?"

"How should one take it? Just throw it in the mouth."

The Little Fish Demon stared at the young Taoist, blinking in confusion, not understanding why her young master would ask such a strange question.

"...What I mean is, for such a pill that reconstructs the body, is it alright to just eat it?"

Jin Xu was taken aback by his demon pet's response and had to rephrase his question.

"Oh, Master, you mean that.

After the pill is taken, it will automatically transform into medicinal power. The injured just need to slightly guide it with spiritual power, leading the medicinal power to where it needs to go.

Since the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill is mild in nature, the person taking it will not suffer much pain; at most, they'll feel a bit of itchiness at the wound."

Yu Yaoer raised her arm holding the firewood knife and scratched her head, explaining in detail to the young Taoist.

Jin Xu nodded lightly upon hearing this and relayed the explanation to Xu Qian via voice transmission.

And upon hearing this news, this Sixth-Grade night watchman of Great Xia,

couldn't control the corners of his mouth from wildly rising as he exclaimed with joy, "Hahaha, Elder Xu can finally see again!

Young Taoist, immense gratitude cannot be expressed in words. Should you ever need my help in the future, Elder Xu will brave any danger without hesitation."

As he spoke, Xu Qian knelt on one knee, bowing deeply.

"Brother Xu, the matter of your injury was an inadvertent involvement because of me. Helping you heal is only right and proper. Let's skip the thanks,

and, moreover, you are currently facing a pillar."

The young Taoist held the pill in his hand and helplessly watched as Xu Qian knelt to the pillar.

"...Ahem, you've caught me in a humorous moment."

Xu Qian awkwardly bounced up from the ground, turned in a different direction, and knelt down again.

"Lord Xu, this must not be! This old servant cannot bear such a grand gesture!"

Housekeeper Wang, who had just ordered the servants to change their clothes but had not yet had the chance to change his own, had rushed to the back yard and saw Xu Qian kneeling squarely before him.

The act startled him so much that he hurriedly lifted his skirt to come forward and help Xu Qian up.

"...Brother Xu, you'd better take the medicine first."

The young Taoist, unable to bear it any longer, flashed forward and accurately tossed the pill held between his fingers into the mouth of Xu Qian, who was about to speak.

"Silence, quickly guide the medicinal power with your spiritual power."

As the pill entered his mouth,

Xu Qian immediately fell silent, his throat moving as he swallowed the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill.

In an instant, he felt a vibrant and vast medicinal power spreading throughout his internal organs.

Xu Qian steadied his mind and gathered the medicinal power with his own spiritual power.

Guiding this immense vitality toward his eyes and ears.

A tingling sensation emerged, and Xu Qian felt as if countless tiny ants were gently biting at his eyes and ears.

The feeling wasn't painful, but it was certainly itch-inducing.

However, he was, after all, a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm who had entered the path through martial arts. He had endured even more grueling challenges during his training, so he was able to bear this as well.

As Xu Qian was assimilating the medicinal power,

the young Taoist standing in front of him had already silently opened his Spiritual Eyes, quietly observing the trajectory of the medicinal power coursing through Xu Qian's body.

Jin Xu wasn't worried about anything, nor did he have any plans,

He was simply curious, wanting to understand how the Pill could reconstruct human anatomical structures that had been completely corroded away.

Time ticked away by the second.

After a quarter of an hour.

The little Taoist activated his Spiritual Eyes, observing the entire process of the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill's reconstruction, and felt a faint, barely perceptible epiphany forming in his mind.

Meanwhile, Xu Qian felt his eyes and ears had completely recovered.

But while these had healed, the power of the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill within him had yet to be fully absorbed.

Lord Xu, a Sixth-Grade patrol officer of Great Xia, observed the abundance of medicinal power still left in his body and a thought flashed through his mind.

Without much hesitation, he mobilized his Spiritual Power to guide the medicinal power toward his lower back.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

The little Taoist had been using his Spiritual Eyes to monitor the other's meridians and upon seeing the medicinal power flowing in an unexpected direction, he asked out of curiosity.

Ah... Ah, nothing, nothing."

Caught off guard by Jin Xu's question, Xu Qian was startled, and the remaining medicinal power dispersed between his heart and lungs.

"Hey, I can hear again!"

After answering the little Taoist's question, the Sixth-Grade patrol officer of Great Xia belatedly realized that Jin Xu hadn't used voice transmission, but had directly asked out loud.

Realizing that his hearing had recovered, Xu Qian no longer cared about the dissipated medicinal power. His eyelids trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

The long-missed light of the world shone back into his pupils.

"Damn, truly handsome, if only Elder Xu could be half as good-looking as the little Taoist."

Since Jin Xu was standing right in front of him, the first thing Xu Qian saw upon regaining his sight was the little Taoist's face, which seemed to be that of a banished deity.

"Congratulations, Brother Xu, your injuries have healed."

Seeing that the other had opened his eyes and there was a liveliness in them, Jin Xu smiled slightly and offered his congratulations.

"Thank you, little Taoist, for bestowing the Pill upon me."

Xu Qian found the correct direction this time and kneeled on one knee to pay his respects, then rose at the persuasion of the little Taoist.

Then he proceeded to greet Xia Yunzhao and Li Mi in turn, thanking the two ladies for their care.

Upon learning that the Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill was crafted by Yu Yaoer, he expressed his gratitude with thorough propriety.

All this was normal.

That was until he turned and saw Housekeeper Wang's attire, paused slightly, and then asked with a tinge of confusion, "Housekeeper Wang, why are you wearing a sheer skirt over your robe in broad daylight? Has Shangjing City started favoring such fashion in the month I've been injured?

If so, find some time to get one for me too; I can't fall behind the fashion trends."

As soon as he said this, Housekeeper Wang muttered under his breath and fell silent.

Li Mi's face turned grim as she turned her back, as if she didn't want to bear seeing Xu Qian's face.

The three women were struggling to hold back their laughter.

And Jin Xu, smiling, pulled out the Recording Ball from his bosom, patted Xu Qian on the shoulder, and passed it to him.

"Brother Xu, this is the surprise I promised you."

Xu Qian, puzzled by everyone's reaction, perked up at the mention of a surprise and immediately turned around.

As he took the Recording Ball and curiously allowed his Spiritual Sense to sink into it, he said, "Little Taoist, you've been too kind to me, both healing my injuries and giving me a surprise.

If I were a woman, I definitely would... Holy shit! What am I doing!?"

A scream carrying three parts terror and seven parts revulsion tore through the sky, frightening the exotic birds and beasts in the residence into hiding.

Outside the estate, Kui Lei, with a stack of newspapers in hand and a look of concern on her face, had just arrived.

When she heard such a ghastly scream from within the house, she was so frightened that she immediately employed her Escape Technique and rushed in.
