The Psychic Girl

"No one has been here before. I, I want to be alone for a while. You all go back and rest! Don't come out without my order!"

He stuttered a little nervously when he spoke, but his tone was unquestionable.

Hiding in his arms, Xia Xi felt his heartbeat in his chest getting faster and faster. She couldn't help but look up at him again, only to find that he was looking straight ahead with a dull gaze while speaking, and his originally pale cheeks had already turned red.

As if he was slightly tipsy after drinking.

"Yes, then, we'll take our leave first!" Although they vaguely felt that Pharmacist Yan was a little abnormal, the two guards still obediently withdrew.

After the guard left, Xia Xi dared to stick his head out after a while. He was relieved to find that the man had indeed gone far away.

Remembering that she was still in the arms of this stranger, she quickly stood up, took a few steps back and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for saving my life. I am grateful."

"No, it's okay. Although this medicine garden is almost abandoned, it still has many mechanisms. You don't look like a cultivator. Leave quickly."

With the cool breeze, the blush on his face gradually faded away, and he returned to his previous elegant appearance.

"Let's go, let's go now! I only need one Jueyu Grass to save one life. I'm really not a bad person. Since you are a pharmacist, you must cherish human life. Look, you saved me, why don't you lend a helping hand and save another life? To you, it's just an ordinary flower among millions of plants, but to the sick, it's the only medicine."

After Xia Xi finished speaking, he lowered his head and tapped the piccolo in his right palm, as if he was thinking about something, so Xia Xi couldn't see his expression clearly.

"The medicine in Yanjiabao is only for practitioners, right?"

"No, he is an ordinary person like me who doesn't know how to practice."

"Then do you know the consequences of trespassing into the Yanjiabao medicine garden? You are a weak woman without any spiritual energy. Who are you trying to save? Relatives, close friends, or lovers?"

When talking about his lover, Yan Zini paused slightly, and the subtle feeling was even strange to him.

"Neither, just a stranger." Xia Xi spoke very sincerely and genuinely.

His eyes followed Xia Xi with an expression of disbelief.

For some reason, Yan Zini always felt that he had known the person in front of him a long time ago, and that he had vaguely had this conversation a long time ago.

A smile appeared inadvertently at the corner of his mouth.

"You are so weird..."

"In my opinion, there is really no difference between cultivators and ordinary people. The boundary between strong and weak is not just determined by a strong body. The size of ability is not the level of spiritual power. Wisdom, perseverance, courage, judgment of timing, and the ability to judge the situation are all very important. Like you, I can't cultivate spiritual energy, so I chose to be an alchemist. They think that if they crush my spiritual bones, I will become the mediocre person they hope for. I will prove that without spiritual bones, I can still turn the tide."

Yan Zini didn't expect that he, who was usually taciturn, would say so much to a stranger he just met, and it was the truth hidden in his heart that he had never expressed. The girl in front of him seemed to have some kind of magic that instantly broke down his defenses against people.

"You want to feel the rain grass, don't you? Come with me. I have an ear disease, but I can understand lip language. If you have something to say..."

Before Yan Zini finished speaking, she immediately responded, "Say it to my face!"

In fact, if he hadn't said it, Xia Xi wouldn't have noticed it at all.

He waved his hand to light the firefly glass lamp hanging on the mahogany chair, and the faint blue light illuminated the space in front of him.

The wooden chair turned automatically as if it had consciousness and moved towards the pavilion on the side.

A person who cannot cultivate spiritual energy, cannot walk, and has ear disease, can become the alchemist of Yanjiabao. To be able to do all this, this person must have a very strong heart.

Although Xia Xi didn't understand everything he said, she could feel the strong soul in this weak body.

The light of the Firefly Glass Lamp adjusted its brightness as his left hand intentionally trembled.

Passing through the dim terraces and buildings, they began to travel through an uneven bamboo forest.

Although this medicine garden is the smallest in Yanling Fort, it is several times larger than the ordinary medicine gardens of general drug dealers.

Along the way, he seemed to stop moving casually and slapped the stone walls at hand, but in fact he was preventing the mechanism from being triggered.

After wandering around, the two finally came to a place where the word "Zhenyuan" was engraved on a huge rock.

Zhenyuan is quite different from the outer courtyard we just saw. Carefully trimmed and cultivated plants can be seen everywhere. Although it is autumn and the garden is about to be abandoned, you can still see many exotic flowers and plants blooming with different colors at night.

"This is the place my mother built and maintained when she was alive. I come here to take a look every few days during her death commemoration."

As he spoke, he took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve, walked to a small piece of dark blue soil, plucked a flower stamen that was shining with azure blue light from the place where vines and branches were entangled, and put it in the tube.

"Jueyu is a second-level herb with a warm nature and a sweet and spicy taste. It is suitable for planting in water-element soil. Adding it to medicine refining can improve the fusion of the medicine. Its fragrance has a calming effect on the mind. It only blooms on rainy days. You are very lucky. The Jueyu herb is the strongest when it blooms. It only drizzled during the day."

"Okay, using this Lan bamboo can prolong the medicinal properties of the Jue Yu Cao and keep the flower from withering temporarily." Yan Zini turned the wooden chair to face Xia Xi and handed the thing to her.

"Lanzhu?" Xia Xi quickly took the bamboo tube from him and looked at it curiously.

"It's a bamboo that grows in extremely cold places. I found it in the Frost Secret Realm. It took a lot of effort to get it to survive in Dongli. Its surface changes from green to blue as the temperature drops. It's a very rare container for preserving herbs."

Facing Xia Xi's questions, he explained patiently.

"You saved me and helped me get the Jueyu Grass. I will definitely repay you if I have the chance. I'm not the kind of person who would not repay a favor."

The patient was finally saved, and the Ye family could be rescued. Holding the hard-earned Jueyu Grass in hand, Xia Xi felt much more at ease.

Yan Zini just smiled bitterly and said nothing, thinking in his heart that it was better not to meet someone like me.

She had just returned to the Ye Mansion at sunrise and handed Jueyu to Ye's father. Ye Shao burst into tears and immediately made medicine for the patient.

After the patient recovered, Ye’s Pharmacy became famous and its position in Jinquan City became more stable.

Ye Shao once asked his daughter about the origin of Jue Yu Cao, but she evaded the question by saying that it was given to her by Yu Yaocailang.

The result is good, so naturally no one will care about the process.

Except for the servant A Ming who always had some doubts, no one in the Ye family would have thought that their daughter, who had been stupid for the past decade, would break into the medicine garden at night and steal.

Later, although Xia Xi went to the medicine garden many times to thank the pharmacist, the place was completely deserted and unattended.
