Volume 1: Phoenix Hidden in the Northern Realm Chapter 16: Refining Medicine

  "Think carefully." Seeing Tang Nianian not speaking, Si Ling Gu asked gently: "If you can't think of it, then kill him?"

  Liu's face turned white in an instant, and the other three people with weaker hearts fainted to the ground. They wanted to beg for mercy, but found that they didn't even have the courage to open their mouths in front of this person.

  Tang Nian looked at him and shook his head. Liu's eyes lit up, and then Tang Nian said quietly, "It's too cheap." He counted on his fingers, saying, "He pinched me eighteen times, trampled my feet twice, and fed me a deadly poison." He raised his eyes again to stare at Si Ling Gu Yun's eyes, which were only a few inches away, and said, "Just one knife is too cheap. The anger isn't balanced."

  Mother, how vengeful are you to remember so clearly?

  The expressions of Si Fang Ge and Zhu Miao Tiang changed slightly.

  "Shi Ling's lonely goose suggested: 'Why don't we cut off her hands and feet, then give her some poisonous medicine?'"

  Tang Nian's eyes moved as she asked, "How many days later can we give him the poison again?"

  "Good."

  "Can I use yours?"

  "Later I'll take you to the alchemy room."

  Tang Nian's eyes sparkled as she shook her head and said, "I'm cultivating in the Ice Abyss Valley." Then she asked, "Can I use the herbs from the medicine field?"

  "Suit yourself." Si Ling Gu Hong's mood was pleasant as he asked, "You didn't want me to accompany you for a while, was it because of alchemy?"

  Tang Nian heard that and could use the medicinal materials freely, with a very good mood, nodding with a smile in her eyes, saying: "Refining medicine requires focus, no one can be present."

  This un-explanatory explanation cured Si Ling Gu Yan's low mood, "Alright, I won't disturb you."

  Not to mention the five people of Zhu Miao, even the four people of Liu's family were shocked by the conversation between the two people in front of them. The master of Xueying Mountain Villa actually said, "Don't disturb you!" Don't disturb you?!

  The next moment, Si Ling Gu Yun raised his hand and stood up, Zhu Miao Ti's horse was startled and he wanted to say something. Master, usually you can kill people casually without any problem, but if the mistress sees this kind of reckless behavior, who knows what might happen, let alone getting close to her!

  But she was still one step too late.

  A flash of silver light flashed by, and Liu's four limbs were severed in an instant. What was strange was that blood did not spurt out, but the scene was frightening enough.

  "Save her life." Si Ling Guhong cast a glance at her.

  Zhu Miao rushed forward to feed Liu a dan medicine, while she was still in a daze. At the same time, when her eyes were wide with fear and she was about to scream, Zhu Miao knocked her out with a slight tap, so as not to disturb the peace of this place. Then, turning around to take a look at Tang Nian's face, seeing that her expression had not changed at all, Zhu Miao felt both relieved and shocked.

  "After doing all this, Si Ling Gu Yun asked: 'What about them?'"

  Tang Nian pointed at Chunxue Xiaomei, "She listened to Liu's order and applied poisonous rouge on me, she did nothing." Then pointing towards Shu Lan, said: "She is my person, innocent."

  Cui Ling looked back and saw a lone goose. Shu Xiu stepped forward from the bamboo forest, saying: "It was my subordinate who took it upon himself to bring them here."

  Song Junqing also stepped forward and smiled: "Master, we think that the mistress is not used to it when she first arrives, and having her original maid serve her will make her happier."

  Si Ling Gu Hong nodded, "Leave it."

  "Second Miss, Second Miss! I didn't mean to harm you! It was all the idea of the second madam! Please spare me, Second Miss! Please have mercy on me... You are a magnanimous person..."

  Tang Nian's expression turned serious as she cut her off, "I'm very careful."

  Chūn xuě shēntǐ yī jiāng.

  English Translation: Chunxue's body stiffened.

  "It's done and that's it."

  Chunxue's body shook, her face was filled with incredulity and resentment, she shouted: "You heartless snake, ruthless... Ah!" Before she could finish cursing, her head had already fallen to the ground, dead with eyes wide open.

  Tang Nian muttered to herself, "Isn't it?"

  "What Nian Nian says is what it is." Xiling Gu's heart was completely biased.

  As for Xiaomei, who did not harm Tang Nianian, she was handed over to Zhu Miaoquan for disposal. Fortunately, she did not lose her life, but was brainwashed and had her memories erased before being thrown out of Xueying Manor. Shulan was already frightened silly, watching as Tang Nianian was carried away by Si Linggu without daring to cry out. In the end, it was Zhu Miaoquan, the manager, who ordered someone to take her to Baiyuan Pavilion, where she would be trained and educated before being sent to Tang Nianian. After all, Xueying Manor was not like the Tang Sect, and only those who were carefully selected and understood the rules and taboos could stay inside.

  With the privilege of using the medicine field at will, Tang Nian's days are spent comfortably and happily, and everyone can see a smile on her face these days.

  "Master, your method of cultivating and protecting the herbs is truly skilled!" Ye Lianqiao blinked her big round eyes, filled with admiration and astonishment, staring at Tang Nian in front of her who was squatting down to tend to the medicinal field.

  Ye Mu Xiang's big eyes sparkled with light, and she exclaimed: "This Autumn Dew Fragrance was originally doomed to die, but as soon as it fell into the master's hands, it immediately recovered!"

  Two identical faces appeared with the same smile, and they exclaimed in unison: "Master, you're too awesome!"

  Tang Nian's hand moved slightly, and the autumn dew fragrance that had been cut off suddenly sprouted again.

  Ye Lianqiao and Ye Muxiang's faces twitched slightly.

  Tang Nian slowly got up, "Let's just consider it dead."

  "Madam, how can you bear to use the precious herbs that were barely saved like this? There are already prepared ones in the medicine room, and there are other autumn dew fragrance in the medicine field, no need to use this one!" Ye Lianqiao exclaimed with a heartache.

  Tang Nian looked at the Autumn Dew fragrance in her hand and said, "It's not very difficult, it's easy to revive." Her medicine had an immediate effect on this ordinary spiritual herb.

  "Even so, it's still a medicinal herb that Mother personally tended to, and yet you used it so simply..."

  Tang Nian said: "Isn't taking care of it for the purpose of using it?" Looking at Ye Muxiang's eyes, as if to say: Can't you just use it?

  "...the mistress said so." Mu Lianqiao and Ye Muxiang were defeated under her clear gaze.

  Tang Nian returned to the icy valley, her eyes gleaming with delight as they fell on the nine stems of Jade Pearl Moonflower in the cold pond water. These days, she had been constantly nourishing them with medicine, and it would still be a while before they bore fruit. However, plucking off a petal every now and then wouldn't hurt, and they would recover relatively quickly.

  "Green green, tripod."

  In front of the green stream, a virtual shadow floats, reflecting Tang Nian's face as fragile as a bubble, with sparkling eyes, like a blue wave fairy, elegant and leisurely.

  A tripod circular cauldron floated in front of me, half-empty, with emerald purple seal characters vividly printed on the body of the cauldron. A burst of dark green sandalwood fragrance wafted over. It turned out that its original form was a medicine cauldron, and the emerald stone-like appearance was its sealed and dormant state.

  Ordinary people refine medicine by driving the spiritual fire with their spiritual power, but Tang Nian's method is different. She controls the medicinal properties and carefully prepares the spiritual medicine, sorting them according to quantity before adding them to the cauldron. With her palms condensed with medicinal energy, she strikes the cauldron in a rhythm that seems mysterious and profound.

  Her figure revolved around the medicine tripod, her palms sometimes like a green wave floating on water and sometimes like a violent storm. Her skirt was like clouds and mist, her long sleeves like water and waves. Under the icy tree, cold pool, and moonlight, she seemed to be a fairy dancing lightly, with flowers in the mirror-like water, like a dream or an illusion, captivating the country and the city.

  Humm——

  As the last palm fell, the medicine cauldron lightly trembled and emitted a sound of Bi Bo Long Yin. Several elixirs flew out, and Tang Nian happily beckoned them into her arms. Immediately after, she felt a wave of exhaustion and weakness flood her entire body, causing her to fall backwards. The medicine cauldron also disappeared into thin air without her medicinal power to support it.

  "Master... Master!" Green's worried cry.

  "It's nothing." Tang Nian now only wanted to lie on the ground, sleep well, and recover her depleted spiritual energy and physical strength.

  She had barely fallen to the ground when she was gently enveloped in a warm and serene bosom.
