Chapter 19: The First Prince’s Consideration (1/2)

In Bai Luochu’s previous life, her behaviour wasn’t restricted at all when she lived in the temple. She would simply grow any kind of flowers or plants wherever she liked. She didn’t understand the so-called elegance of landscaping. She responded casually to Zi Su’s question, “I have nothing to do and casually made some arrangements.”

“If Young Lady likes flowers and plants, Zi Su will get people to bring more over tomorrow.” Zi Su giggled and replied. She didn’t feel that anything was off at all.

“No need for that. Have you brought all the herbs?” Bai Luochu quickly changed the topic and didn’t continue talking about the plants in the courtyard.

Zi Su had nearly forgotten what she was tasked to do after looking at all the rearrangements in the courtyard. When she heard Bai Luochu’s question, she quickly handed the medicinal herbs over. Taking out a bottle of spirit medicine from her sleeve, she placed it properly in Bai Luochu’s hand.

“Earlier on, when this servant handed over the list to the staff in the medicine room, they could identify that these herbs were all used to assist in one’s cultivation. Hence, they handed over a bottle of spirit medicine meant for cultivation. They said that my Lord had previously passed down an order. He said that as long as Young Lady requests for it, you may take anything you wish. However… you can’t take too much of it.”

“He is afraid that my cultivation will forcefully rise with the use of spirit medicine and not my own effort. My foundation will be unstable because of it, right? Even though my strength will increase rapidly in a short amount of time, it will be detrimental to me in the long term. It will also affect my future progress in cultivation. Did I get it right?”

When Bai Luochu saw the servant girl stammering, she conscientiously completed her sentence. It was true. She had only been cultivating for several days but had been using medicinal ingredients frequently. Anyone who saw her consumption of medicinal ingredients would think that she was overly eager for success as she used the effects of spirit medicine to quickly increase her cultivation state.

“That’s right... We aren’t able to provide Young Lady with too much spirit medicine because of Master’s orders. It will be great as long as Young Lady can understand the meaning behind this servant’s actions. This servant shall take her leave first and will come back in the afternoon to bring lunch.”

After her explanation, Zi Su bowed and slowly left the room, closing the door behind her.

The moment the doors closed, all the clamor in the outside world became unrelated to Bai Luochu. She quickly returned to her state of cultivation and when she opened up the bottle of spirit medicine, a wave of subtle medicinal fragrance tickled her nose.

Bai Luochu couldn’t help turn curious when she stared at the spirit medicine and medicinal herbs in front of her. She couldn’t understand the reason behind the First Prince spending so much money to buy her into the residence. They might say that she was bought to be a personal servant, but what was the real reason? Even though they treated her well, it could be said that the way they treated her was too good to be true.

Bai Luochu didn’t bother about it. If she didn’t enjoy such carefree days, it would be a waste.

After Bai Luochu opened up the bottle of spirit medicine, she didn’t reserve herself and swallowed everything in a single gulp. In an instant, the spirit qi inside the spirit medicine carried the medicinal effects and gushed towards Bai Luochu’s spirit platform. When Bai Luochu noticed the mild medicinal effects and the pure spirit qi, she decided to use the spirit medicine to nourish her meridians.

After the bottle was completely used up, Bai Luochu’s meridians were almost fully recovered.
