Don't worry, landlord.

  When Zhu Miao Jie arrived after receiving the order, she saw this scene. The two people on the bed were sleeping with their clothes on, embracing each other, the woman's face was calm and beautiful, the man's eyes were cast down, gazing at her, his lips slightly curved up.

  "Landlord."

  Cui Ling Hong gently lifted Tang Nian's pale wrist without startling her, and when he saw that she had slightly furrowed her brow due to the movement, he naturally used his other hand to gently stroke her brow, whispering a soothing phrase like a spring breeze: "It's okay, sleep."

  Tang Nian's eyebrows were pressed and stroked by him, relaxing, the expression on his face also softened, even the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a comfortable and pleasant feeling.

  Zhu Miao rushed forward to take Tang Nian's pulse, then let out a light breath and reported to Si Ling Gu Yun: "The mistress is overworked, exhausted and weak, but there's no major problem." From the moment she was summoned from her quarters in Xiang Lou, she had been nervous and worried that something serious had happened to Tang Nian, and only now could she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  She was really afraid that something unexpected would happen to Tang Nian, and what would happen if Zhuang Zuo did something, she could see that the host was getting more and more fond of this person.

  This is the first time in so many years that the lord of the manor has shown such a different fondness for someone, and this person is not even afraid of the lord's poison.

  "Tell them to prepare the medicine." Zhu Miao said lightly, then immediately asked in a low and curious tone: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I don't know why Mistress is like this? Ah! This way I can also better diagnose and prescribe the medicine." She was really curious, at Xueying Mountain Villa, what could have made Tang Nianian so exhausted.

  "Refine medicine." Ciling Guhong said calmly.

  Zhu Miao's expression suddenly turned serious, and after a moment of hesitation, he spoke decisively: "I hope the master can grant me permission to take a look at the elixir refined by the mistress."

  When she heard that Tang Nian was going to refine the medicine herself and feed it to Liu Shi, she wasn't surprised. After all, Tang Nian was born into a family of alchemists from the Tang Sect, and although there were rumors that her talent was somewhat lacking, it wasn't strange that she knew a bit about refining medicine.

  Generally, ordinary yellow-grade medicines only need to be matched in sequence according to the prescription and can be completed without consuming much energy. Only elixirs above the mysterious grade require utmost care, not allowing a single mistake, which not only consumes energy but also requires the support of the yuan force of strong people above the mysterious grade.

  Zhu Miao Jie, as a Tier 4 Alchemist, could tell from just a few words that the pill Tang Nian Nian had refined was definitely of Xuan rank or higher, otherwise it wouldn't have resulted in such consequences.

  She was filled with astonishment. Refining medicine was one thing, ordinary yellow-grade elixirs only required knowledge of the recipe, and even without talent, anyone could memorize it by rote as long as they had sufficient materials. However, refining medicine beyond the mysterious grade required not only exceptional talent but also the same level of martial arts talent, precise control, which made high-grade refiners extremely rare and held in high esteem.

  She had never thought that Tang Nian could refine the Xuan Pin Dan, after all she didn't have any yuan power, this was something they all knew, and just this one point was enough to dispel everyone's speculation.

  However, since these words came from Ciling Guhong's mouth, she wouldn't have any suspicions.

  Si Ling gave her a cold glance, inserted his hand into the inner pocket of Tang Nian's clothes, and took out the ten light gold round pellets she had put in. He handed them to Zhu Miaoqi, "Pack them up."

  Zhu Miao's mouth twitched, and without hesitation, she poured out the elixir from one of the jade boxes she carried with her, then filled it with Tang Nian's elixir, leaving one pill in her hand to admire.

  The more I look at its shape, color and fragrance, the more shocked I am.

  This elixir is round and smooth, without a single crack or bump, its light golden color is even and lustrous, emitting a soft glow. As for the fragrance, just one sniff makes me feel refreshed and invigorated throughout my body. On the surface of this elixir, lotus-like patterns float, as if born from nature itself. Just looking at it makes me feel that the lotus is like a living thing, full of wonder.

  Zhu Miao took a deep breath, but her eyes couldn't hide the surprise and joy. Just as she was about to exclaim, she was suppressed by a glance from Si Ling Gu. Looking at Tang Nian who was sleeping soundly, she lowered her voice, "Master, in my opinion, the elixir refined by the mistress is already comparable to top-grade heavenly elixirs. The mistress's alchemy skills are absolutely above mine, and possibly even surpass those of a regional lord or king... no, it's very likely that she's a regional sovereign!"

  The more she said, the more shocked and suspicious she became. Zhu Miao knew that a land-level alchemist was of extremely high status, with many powerful individuals seeking to protect them. If Tang Nian really had such abilities, not to mention her innate talent for alchemy, shouldn't she have at least possessed earth-level yuan power? So why would she be treated so poorly in the Tang clan, being ignored and bullied by Liu's mother and daughter, and even forced into a substitute marriage? The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

  But this elixir can't be fake, and she won't suspect Ci Ling's words even more. The only answer is probably known only by Tang Nian herself, no matter how they guess, they can't guess it.

  Zhū Miào Jiǎn composed herself from her astonishment and sincerely admired, "No wonder those days Lian Qiāo and Mù Xiāng two girls kept saying in front of me how formidable the master is. To be able to refine such a pill, taking care of the medicine field and nurturing herbs, how could she not be formidable?"

  As soon as he looked up, he saw that Cui Ling Gu Yun's eyes were filled with joy, and his expression was like Zhu Miao Ti's astonishment, all of which seemed to be directed at him. Zhu Miao Ti knew that Cui Ling Gu Yun himself had great achievements, and how many people admired and were shocked by him, but he didn't care, his face unchanged.

  The master is getting more and more considerate of his wife.

  "Put it on." Ciling Guhong glanced at the shallow golden medicine pinched in her hand, "On the case table."

  Zhu Miao's face was pleasant and smiling, slowly probing, "Cough! Master Zhuang, this...this elixir is something that has never been seen before. May I ask to keep one pill for research?"

  Cui Ling glanced over, but didn't say a word.

  Zhu Miao's face suddenly fell, "Understood." Reluctantly, he put the dan medicine in his hand into a jade box and placed it on the case inside the house. Before leaving, he silently looked at Tang Nian who was sleeping, thinking to himself: Master, can't you be so possessive? Not even giving me a single dan medicine made by my mother's own hands?! You won't give it to me, next time I'll directly ask Mistress for it, let's see how you'll handle it!
