Morning Star

"Just white hair." Chujiu said to Chu Wenxuan.

"White hair? Are there any other characteristics?" Chu Wenxuan continued to ask.

"I didn't see it clearly. He disappeared in a flash. All I saw was a man in white, with all white hair. I turned around and saw there was a box on my desk. I opened it and it turned out to be the Marrow Cleansing Pill." Chujiu continued to make up stories without blushing or beating his heart.

She even felt like she could become a swindler.

"I didn't see clearly. All in white? I should know who it is." Chu Wenxuan said in a low voice, his fair and slender hand resting on his white jade chin.

There is probably only one person who can quietly enter a noble family and be so generous in giving people tenth-grade elixirs.

That person is the only alchemist in Hualing Continent who can refine tenth-grade elixirs so far - Venerable Qu Ling.

People who have heard of him say that he is a young man, while others say that he is an old man. Everyone has different opinions, but they all have one thing in common: every time he appears, he is dressed in white and has white hair.

This guy is always elusive and does what he wants. It all depends on whether he is willing to help anyone. He will help whoever he wants to help. Even if someone pays him a huge price to help him make pills, he won't help. Whether he is willing or not depends entirely on his mood. When he is in a good mood, he will just give pills to others and even help them make pills. When he is in a bad mood, even if you beg him on your knees, he won't even look at you, and sometimes he might even beat you up.

This person has no standard to follow when doing things. There is no reason to do so. If there must be a reason, it is that he is in a good mood.

It seems that Xiaojiu is lucky to have met the Venerable Qu Ling. It is also her good fortune.

The two were very close, so Chujiu heard it clearly. She was delighted, she didn't expect that there really was such a person out of nothing.

Thank God and earth so much!

Just as she was thanking God, she heard Chu Wenxuan ask, "How did you know this was the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

Here comes the fatal question again, but she is not panicking. Based on her many years of experience in deceiving people, no, many years of experience, plus what Chu Wenxuan just said, this time she said without any guilt: "Didn't my brother tell me before that the Marrow Cleansing Pill emits golden light? I saw that this pill also emits golden light, so I guessed it was the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"I see. Xiaojiu, you are really lucky this time. It's really a huge opportunity that has fallen on you. Hahahaha..." Chu Wenxuan said with a smile.

It looked as if he had obtained the marrow cleansing pill.

Seeing this, Chujiu's mouth twitched.

How come the brother who had a serious face just now suddenly changed his demeanor? The people in the Chu family are indeed extraordinary.

After laughing enough, Chu Wenxuan continued, "Xiaojiu, who else knows about this besides you and me?"

"No more." Chujiu answered honestly.

Chu Wenxuan nodded and said seriously again: "Well, you must keep this a secret."

"Yeah, don't worry, brother. I know about this." Chujiu nodded affirmatively.

Are you kidding? Can anyone know about this? Of course not. This is something that can bring about a fatal disaster. If anyone knows about it, she will be dead. And it might also bring trouble to the Chu family.

Chu Wenxuan looked at Chu Jiu's firm answer, smiled knowingly, patted her head, and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell Dad and Mom about this later, they will definitely be very happy when they know it."

"...Really?" Is it true? Chujiu was very confused.

It was obvious that when she first came to the Chu family, they treated her very badly, and it was only after her unremitting efforts that the situation improved a little. Will they really be happy for her?

Chu Wenxuan was a subtle observer, so of course he knew what she was thinking. He said seriously, "Really, there is no father or mother who would not want their children to be well. Look, your father or mother are no longer as indifferent to you as before, right? Hmm?"

Chujiu nodded and smiled: "Yeah. It's good to have my brother here."

"Silly girl, you just found out?" Chu Wenxuan pinched Chujiu's face and said with a smile.

"I've always known that, hehe."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"Um...Brother, why do you always like to pinch my face? It's become wider."

"Wide cute."

"..."

Afterwards, Chu Wenxuan told Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin about this in private.

A moment later, Chu Wenxuan took her to the Chu family's pharmacy. Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin were both there. The only person who was not there was Chu Furong.

She hadn't seen her much in the past few days. She had only seen her a few days ago when she was having dinner, and she hadn't seen her since then.

"Daddy, Mom is looking for me?" Chujiu walked into the pharmacy.

According to this progress, could it be that he is going to tell her how to take the marrow cleansing pill?

I was secretly delighted in my heart. She would undergo a drastic change soon on the ninth day of the first lunar month, hahahahaha…

Ahem, calm down, Chujiu, you don't know about this, you have to pretend you don't know. Uh-huh, show your innocent side.

Xiang Tingqin walked towards Chujiu and pulled her to his side, while Chu Congnan walked to the door and used a secret technique to separate the pharmacy from everything outside the house.

This shows how well the Chu family's patriarch and his wife work together, and how cautious they are. They are careful even in their own home.

Chujiu pretended not to know the situation and asked Xiang Tingqin: "Mother, why did you and father ask me to come to the pharmacy?"

Chujiu blinked her big watery eyes and continued to pretend to be innocent.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Tingqin slapped Chujiu on the back of the head, but it didn't hurt much. He said speechlessly, "Come on, stop pretending to be naive. Hurry up and take out the marrow cleansing pill."

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Well, they had seen through everything. Then she would stop pretending.

Take out the marrow cleansing pill obediently and open the box.

Xiang Tingqin took the box from Chujiu's hand as if she had discovered a new continent, and looked at the pills in the box carefully.

The marrow cleansing pill was like an exhibit, being admired by Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin.

This made Chujiu surprised and speechless.

Who could have thought that the usually serious head of the Chu family and his usually gentle wife would hold a box in their hands and look at it with their eyes shining.

After the appreciation, the two returned to their serious and earnest state again, as if the two people with shining eyes just now were not them.

The atmosphere changed in an instant. They are indeed a couple, a perfect match.

It turns out that the people in the Chu family are extraordinary.

"Well, have you prepared the things that Wenxuan asked you to prepare?" Chu Congnan cleared his throat and looked at Chu Wenxuan seriously and asked.

Chu Wenxuan was no longer surprised by their transformation.

Chujiu had no reaction on the surface because he had the original owner's memory. But he was shocked in his heart. After all, memories and seeing with one's own eyes are different feelings.

"I'm ready." Chu Wenxuan answered seriously.

Xiang Tingqin nodded, took Chujiu's hand, looked at the two of them, and finally looked at Chujiu, smiled and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Chujiu nodded and followed Xiang Tingqin.

Chu Congnan and Chu Wenxuan followed behind.

Several people came to a shelf in the house where various bottles and jars were placed.

Xiang Tingqin stretched out his right hand and moved a bottle, and the shelf moved to the right, and a door frame appeared in front of them.

A few people walked into the door frame and the shelf closed automatically.

Chujiu watched all this happen, feeling somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything made sense.

Which big family doesn’t have a basement, secret room or some secret passage?

After passing through the door frame, what came into view was an open-air pool with white mist floating in it. The white mist was too thick to see the water in the pool clearly. There were no weeds around, and it was so clean that it seemed like someone cleaned it every day.

Xiang Tingqin pulled Chujiu to the side of the pool and patiently explained to her: "This is our Chu family's spiritual medicine pool. The white mist floating above is all spiritual energy gathered together. You will use this spiritual medicine pool to nourish your body later."

Chujiu nodded, and then asked: "Why is the spiritual energy there so strong? There is no such strong spiritual energy here or outside?"

"Because there is a spirit gathering array around the pool that can gather spiritual energy." Xiang Tingqin explained.

"Okay, got it." Chujiu nodded.

Xiang Tingqin smiled at Chujiu, then turned to look at the father and son standing behind her and warned: "You two stay here and guard me well. If I find out that you two have any little tricks..."

At this point, Xiang Tingqin raised his right hand and squeezed it hard, then continued, "Got it?"

The father and son nodded repeatedly, fearing that she would crush them to death. They did not dare to have any improper thoughts, especially Chu Congnan.

Then Xiang Tingqin pulled Chujiu into the spiritual medicine pool.

The two of them stood by the spiritual medicine pool. Xiang Tingqin waved his hand and performed a secret technique to isolate the situation inside from the outside.

People outside can neither see nor hear what people inside are saying.

Chujiu has seen this move three times today. The first time it was performed by Chu Wenxuan, the second time it was performed by Chu Congnan, and this time it was performed by Xiang Tingqin. It looks like a very powerful move.

So Chujiu, who was curious, looked up at Xiang Tingqin and asked, "Mom, what was that thing you just used? It's amazing. Can you teach me later?"

Xiang Tingqin immediately became excited after hearing this, and replied with a smile: "I didn't tell you before, this is a secret technique unique to our Chu family, called space isolation. After performing this secret technique, the things inside the space can be isolated from the things outside. People outside can't see or hear what's happening inside. But people inside can see the outside, and once someone steps into this space, the people inside can immediately find out."

"How amazing. Is this a family heirloom in our Chu family?" Chujiu exclaimed.
