Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

At dawn, the first light of dawn, the world slowly awakens from its slumber, all seems tranquil and mysterious. On the eastern horizon, a touch of pale blue-purple gradually gives way to a gentle golden hue, as if nature's palette is quietly shifting. A thin mist veils the fields and woods, casting a hazy veil over the landscape and making the scenery appear exceptionally soft and dreamy.

The birds, seemingly awakened by the rising sun, began to chirp joyfully in the branches. Their clear and melodious songs, one after another, interwoven into a natural morning song, adding a touch of vitality and energy to the tranquil morning. A gentle breeze, carrying the freshness of dew and the fragrance of earth, filled the air with a refreshing and invigorating aroma, inviting one to take a deep breath and appreciate this gift of nature.

At such moments, everything seemed so pure and beautiful. The distant mountains gradually became clearer, and the nearby flowers and plants were covered with pearls of morning dew, shimmering and translucent. Each drop of dew shimmered in the morning light, like a star on the earth, telling the farewell of night and the welcome of morning.

Dawn marks the beginning of a new day, the beginning of hopes and dreams. It's not only the most tranquil and purest moment of the day, but also a time for the soul to purify and thoughts to be sorted. In this tranquil morning light, people can slow down, calm their minds, appreciate the beauty of life, contemplate the future, and live in harmony with nature, welcoming each new day filled with possibilities.

In this very harmonious environment, a soft hum was suddenly heard, "Miss, get up quickly. We have agreed that we will go out to play today. Get up quickly, otherwise the sun will burn your butt."

As she said that, she walked forward and pulled Li Ruoyue up. Li Ruoyue opened her eyes sleepily as she pulled her, and said reluctantly, "What time is it now? Let me sleep a little longer. I read very late yesterday and I'm still very sleepy now."

"Miss, we finally have a day off, get up quickly and go out to play with me," she hummed softly.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, let's go." Li Ruoyue said dotingly, "You are the boss today, I will listen to you in everything. But we have to finish today's morning class first, and we can go after we finish it, understand?"

"Very well, young lady," Luzhu replied reluctantly. "It's hard to get a day off, and we still have to do morning lessons. "Well, fine then, I'll go early after finishing my lessons."

Morning Exercises and Meditation: With the first rays of sunlight, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu begin their morning exercises. Li Ruoyue guides Luzhu through a series of breath-regulating exercises. Through deep breathing and specific body movements, they help the body and mind transition smoothly from sleep to the new day. These exercises not only strengthen physical fitness and enhance mental focus, but also promote inner peace and clarity. Afterward, they sit in nature for a short meditation, allowing their minds to settle in the tranquility, feeling the breath and pulse of nature, and recharging their souls.

After finishing their morning exercises, they all had some light sweat on their bodies, and their whole bodies were clear and refreshed.

Miss, can we go for a walk in the back mountain? Okay, I feel so relaxed now, I want to take a walk. Li Ruoyue quickly responded: Okay, let's go for a walk now. I also want to feel the fragrance of nature. As they said that, they walked hand in hand happily along the mountain path into the woods.

Together, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu would stroll through the valley, observing the subtle transformations of nature in the morning light. They would listen carefully to birdsong, identify different plants, and savor the coolness of the morning dew and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air. In this way, they not only deepened their understanding of nature but also cultivated a keen sense of their surroundings, strengthening their connection to nature and making each day full of freshness and the joy of discovery.

As they walked, Luzhu let go of Li Ruoyue's hand, jumped behind a big tree, pointed at a silvery grass and asked Li Ruoyue, "Miss, what kind of grass is this? Why don't I remember it being mentioned in the book?"

Li Ruoyue walked to the big tree, bent down gently, and checked the herb. After knowing what kind of herb it was, he pulled Luzhu to sit under the tree next to the herb. "Luzhu, let me tell you a story," Li Ruoyue said softly.

When Luzhu heard Miss Dao say this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said eagerly, "Yes, yes, Miss, please tell me quickly. I love listening to your stories the most."

Far in the East, a mysterious valley shrouded in mist lies the "Valley of Miraculous Medicine." Legend has it that here grows a miraculous herb called "Moonlight Grass," which blooms only on full-moon nights, emitting a faint silver glow that can heal the world's deepest wounds, whether physical or emotional. The story of Moonlight Grass, like the stream flowing through the valley, is long and mysterious, and has been passed down for centuries.

At the entrance to the Spiritual Medicine Valley lived an old herbalist named Yunhe. Yunhe dedicated his life to the study of herbs, with a particular fondness for moonflower. However, moonflower is extremely rare, visible only once in a lifetime, and only reveals its true form on certain full-moon nights. Yunhe spent decades searching for moonflower, scouring every corner of the valley, but never managed to see this legendary herb.

One stormy night, Yun He stumbled upon a plant emitting a faint silver light on the edge of a cliff deep in a valley. With a start, he realized it might be the moonlight grass he'd longed for. However, the moonlight grass grew in an extremely treacherous location, forcing Yun He to overcome numerous obstacles before reaching it. After a difficult climb, Yun He finally stood before the moonlight grass. At that moment, the moonlight grass, as if sensing his presence, burst into a brilliant light never before seen.

Yunhe carefully plucked a leaf of moonlight grass and brought it back to the pharmacy. He used it to brew a special medicinal decoction. The decoction emitted a faint silver glow, like the moonlight grass shimmering in the night sky. Yunhe gave this decoction to a villager heartbroken after losing a loved one. After drinking the decoction, the villager felt an unprecedented warmth and peace, and the pain in his heart seemed to be gradually healed by the power of the moonlight grass. He rediscovered the meaning of life and began to face each day with a grateful heart.

Since then, the story of Moonlight Grass has spread throughout the Valley of Miraculous Medicines, becoming a symbol of hope and healing. On every full-moon night, brave travelers would set out on quests in search of Moonlight Grass. While Moonlight Grass remains rare, its legend inspires people to never give up on the courage to seek light, even in the darkest moments.

Though a legend, this story conveys the profound connection between herbs and human emotions, as well as the mysterious power inherent in nature. In real life, many herbs truly possess astonishing healing properties, playing a vital role in both traditional and modern medicine, contributing to human health and well-being. The story of moonflower embodies a reverence for nature, an exploration of the mysteries of life, and an eternal pursuit of hope and healing.

Li Ruoyue said this with hope in her eyes. She said to Luzhu: "You must learn these herbs well. Remember that they may become your life-saving skills in the future, so that you will no longer feel helpless and insignificant in the face of illness. Study medicine well so that you can protect yourself when you are injured or in danger."

When Luzhu heard this, she nodded firmly and said firmly, "Miss, I will. I will study hard and will not let you down."

Li Ruoyue would use this time to guide Luzhu in identifying and gathering herbs from the valley. They would carefully select those plants that appeared particularly vibrant in the morning light, then meticulously process and sort them back home. This process not only taught Luzhu about herbs but also how to live in harmony with nature and respect the unique value of every life.

After observing nature and preparing their herbs, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu would return to their home to prepare breakfast together. They typically chose nutritious, easily digestible foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and homemade herbal teas. Over breakfast, they would sometimes exchange thoughts and feelings, sharing observations and reflections on life. Other times, they would quietly go about their respective tasks in silence. This constant interaction not only deepened their mutual understanding and rapport, but also strengthened their emotional bond.

After enjoying breakfast, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu sit down to plan their day's activities. Whether it's furthering their knowledge of herbs, exploring uncharted areas of the valley, or pursuing creative projects like painting or weaving, they ensure their schedule is both fulfilling and meaningful, fostering both personal growth and strengthening their mutual understanding and collaboration.

Through these activities, Li Ruoyue and Luzhu not only made full use of the tranquility and beauty of dawn, but also cultivated healthy living habits and deepened their understanding and awe of nature. More importantly, they established a deep emotional connection in the process, grew together, and enjoyed simple and pure happiness.
