I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 85: The Uninvited Guest Arrives

After the meal, Qin Yiyao carried the medicinal mud and walked towards her room.

After boiling a tub of water and adding bath salts and flower petals, Qin Yiyao poured the medicinal mud into the tub and then used her inner energy to catalyze it. In less than fifteen minutes, the hot water in the entire tub turned reddish-brown and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

Just smelling that scent made her feel a tension in all the muscles in her body.

I don't know what kind of medicinal herbs this medicinal paste is made from.

But the effect will definitely be very good.

After waiting for a while, Qin Yiyao took off her clothes and went into the bath.

Her figure was exquisite and delicate, her skin fair and smooth, like a peeled egg. Qin Yiyao squinted her eyes in comfort, then slowly immersed herself in it, a blush rising to her cheeks. She did not forget to practice the breathing techniques taught in the book "Body Therapy". The medicinal power began to flow through her limbs and bones, tempering her internal organs and cleansing her meridians, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

This is to remove impurities and strengthen the body.

Unbeknownst to her, she had fallen asleep in the bathtub.

The night passed.

As dawn broke, Qin Yiyao opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with energy and vitality.

As she stepped out of the bathtub, she clenched her fist, and the bones in her hand cracked, as if pure brute force was coursing through her arms and palms. Just as she was surprised by her body, which had suddenly become several times stronger, she opened her mouth slightly and heard herself exhale a breath containing the roar of a dragon!

Qin Yiyao was even more surprised now.

Because she clearly exhaled a very weak dragon breath unintentionally just now!

She quickly looked inward at her dantian and found that there was a thin wisp of ancient dragon energy swirling within it!

After soaking in a medicinal bath all night, why is there an extra dragon energy emanating from my body...?

What exactly was the medicinal mud that Gu Heng gave her made of?

Qin Yiyao changed her clothes and took the dress and undergarments she had changed out of yesterday to the backyard to wash them. Ever since a few days ago, when she was slightly criticized by Gu Heng for leaving her clothes lying around in the room after taking a bath, she had developed this habit.

Down in the backyard of the clinic, Qin Yiyao put the clothes in a wooden tub.

Then she drew her sword and performed a few sword flourishes.

They are much more agile than before.

After that medicinal bath overnight, it was as if a portion of the power that had been suppressed within her body for a long time was released, allowing her to leap from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the tenth level! Being reborn with this body also has its advantages.

That means her cultivation level will advance very, very quickly... Perhaps in the eyes of others, her talent is excessively monstrous, but in fact, this is the "benefit" of being resurrected from the dead... As for the price, Qin Yiyao has already experienced it for a long time.

Life as an ordinary person is not easy.

"Good morning, Yi Yao."

At that moment, Gu Heng's voice came from outside the door.

Qin Yiyao stopped and turned to look at him.

Gu Heng was wearing a moon-white robe today, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the cuffs and collar were embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns.

"...Master knows how to wear nice clothes. I thought you only wore those coarse cloth clothes."

She rolled her eyes.

"Your master is very good at dressing up."

Gu Heng walked closer calmly and touched the little braid on Qin Yiyao's head.

He accepted the teasing from the little girl. After all, he used to be penniless, and even eating was a problem, let alone buying clothes. Now that he had money and could eat well every day, he should start thinking about other things.

"By the way, what medicinal herbs were used in Master's medicinal bath?"

Qin Yiyao couldn't help but ask again.

She was eager to know what medicinal herb could have given her a dragon's aura.

"That medicinal mud is my exclusive recipe, so it's a secret."

Gu Heng smiled mysteriously.

But he could also sense that Qin Yiyao's health had improved.

That medicinal mud was indeed effective. It seems I need to make more today, and use it on her once a week. This appropriate external assistance will help Qin Yiyao better cultivate her internal strength. "It's a secret... but I am your disciple."

Qin Yiyao pouted.

"It's only been less than a month. Let's wait a year or two before talking about it."

Gu Heng nodded, then patted Qin Yiyao's head again before leaving.

Qin Yiyao stood there, stunned for a long time.

……

In the afternoon, Qin Yiyao took the new batch of Golden Spirit Liquid (before dilution) that she had refined that morning to deliver it to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop.

Gu Heng continued to watch the shop.

Moreover, not a single person came to see a doctor this morning.

In the past, Gu Heng would have been worried sick, but now he doesn't care anymore.

I'm rich now!

He rarely left the clinic because he bought a month's worth of ingredients in advance for cooking. In addition, he used the "Primordial Mystic Ice Pearl" given to him by the system to create a small ice cellar in the basement of the backyard to use as a refrigerator.

Gu Heng heard that Jinling Liquid was selling very well.

Yunling City is very large, and Jinhuang Baoxing has a good reputation, so even if they launch new medicines, they can sell them very quickly, and sometimes even sell out.

However, in the south of Yunling City, this news seemed to be particularly isolated, and no one had heard of any neighbor buying that Golden Spirit Liquid... But if no one came to see the doctor, it meant that they might have bought the Golden Spirit Liquid to keep on hand, so they could drink a bottle whenever they felt unwell.

Then the minor ailments disappear, and there's no need to see a doctor anymore.

"...Forget it, let's just close down today. Anyway, I'm rich, I can live like a rich man."

After sitting in the front hall for several hours, feeling almost like grass was growing on his head and his whole body was stiff, Gu Heng decided not to continue minding the shop and planned to do something else.

"Well, never mind that, let's make some more medicinal paste for the little girl."

He went back to the back room and took out the "Qiankun Purple Gold Furnace," which was neither purple nor gold, nor Qiankun.

Gu Heng brought up the system panel, opened the "Shop" section, and then took out "Multi-bearded Ginseng", "Black Lingzhi" and other medicinal materials from the "Medicinal Materials" sub-interface. These were all needed to refine that brown medicinal mud, but the truly important ones were not these.

Scroll down, there are some special "medicinal herbs" there.

The first one was a dried-up heart, the heart of some kind of wild animal, but it was definitely not a human heart.

The system also labeled this "medicinal herb" with unusual simplicity: dried heart.

Having been driven to despair by wordplay, Gu Heng, for once, felt that the system was being honest and hadn't given this thing any particularly grandiose names, like "The Dried Heart of a Dragon"...

And this "dried heart" is the main ingredient in his medicinal mud.

According to the system, the effect is that "it can strengthen the body after being used as medicine".

It proved to be very effective!

Everyone who has used it says it is good.

At least Qin Yiyao showed a visible change.

"Is anyone here?"

Just as Gu Heng had prepared the medicinal herbs and was about to start the furnace to boil them, a sound suddenly came from outside.

Business is coming in?

Gu Heng wiped his hands and went to the front yard outside the main hall, where he saw two people and two boxes.
