Chapter 49: Dreams
Yun Ruoyan looked at the golden pill in her ancestor's hand and slowly stretched out her hand, although she was trying her best to restrain the excitement in her heart, her fingertips still trembled a little imperceptibly.
Her two white fingers gently pinched the golden pill, and in an instant, ripples of spiritual power floated on the surface of the golden pill.
The ripples were wave after wave, floating in the performance of the pill, and it looked very peculiar.
Yun Ruoyan only felt that the tentacles were cool, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort that spread from her fingers to her whole body.
Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue were stunned, but slowly their faces showed a look of surprise, and they all said in unison: "This is the top-grade elixir?!"
Then the three sisters all looked at Lin Zainan in surprise and said, "Grandfather, you have refined the top-grade elixir, and you have finally broken through." ”
Like weapons, elixirs are generally divided into lower, middle, and upper grades.
The refining of the lower-grade elixir requires the cultivation of a first- to third-level alchemist, the medium-grade requires the cultivation of a fourth- to sixth-level alchemist, and so on, and the high-grade elixir requires the cultivation of a seventh- to ninth-level alchemist.
Lin Zainan is only a fifth-level cultivator of the alchemist, and he has been stagnant in this cultivation for many years, so for many years, the Lin family can only refine medium-grade elixirs, and the Lin family is thin, in fact, the Lin family is already in decline.
It's just that he relies on the fame accumulated over the past hundred years and the reputation that Lin Jae-nan won when he was young.
If Lin Zainan can refine a top-grade elixir, then the status of the Lin family can be further guaranteed!
The three sisters all looked at Lin Zainan excitedly.
But Lin Zainan shook his head bitterly and said, "Where is it so easy to break through, I'm afraid Lin Zainan won't have that opportunity in my life." ”
"Then how did you refine this medicine?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
The three of them all looked at Lin Zainan in confusion, waiting for him to answer.
Lin Zainan sat on the Taishi chair, casually took the tea that Lin Qingchen had made for him, took a sip slowly, and then said lightly: "I used my spiritual power to cultivate in exchange." ”
What?
The surprise of the three of them turned into shock in an instant, you must know that using spiritual power to refine medicine and using spiritual power to change medicine are two completely different concepts.
The spiritual power consumed by alchemy can be replenished through cultivation, but exchanging spiritual power for cultivation is a taboo for alchemists, because after the exchange, the alchemist's cultivation will not only retreat but can no longer be refined through cultivation.
Yun Ruoyan looked at the golden elixir of spiritual power in his hand again, and only felt that it weighed a thousand catties.
"Grandfather, I..." The complicated emotions in her chest kept churning for a while, blocking her so much that she couldn't say anything.
Lin Zainan put down the teacup in his hand, his hair was snow-white, his face was solemn, and he looked at Yun Ruo with bright eyes and said, "You don't need to be stressed, you are my Lin Zainan's granddaughter, and you are the blood and blood of my Lin family." It was the regret of my life that I couldn't keep your mother back then, and now what I do is a little compensation for your mother. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Qingchen and ordered, "Pour a glass of wine for your sister and let her take the medicine quickly." ”
After the elixir is refined, it must be stored in a special container, and if it is exposed to the air for a long time, the spiritual power on it will be lost.
Lin Qingchen hurriedly followed his grandfather's instructions, poured a large glass of fifty-year-old wine and handed it to Yun Ruoyan.
Yun Ruoyan also suppressed all distracting thoughts, took the wine glass, put the golden pill full of spiritual power into his mouth, and then raised his head and drank a large sip of wine.
The pill melted when it met the wine, and the medicinal aroma was mixed with the aroma of the wine, and it was strong and fragrant. The strong spiritual power accompanied the fragrance of medicine and wine, and turned into a cool breath and entered Yun Ruoyan's body.
Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably, and when she opened her eyes, she only felt that her eyes were clear.
"Quick, drink it up. Lin Zainan said: "This phoenix treasure is a detoxification medicine, it is cool, wine can dissolve the coolness and increase the medicinal effect, quickly drink the wine in the cup." ”
Yun Ruoyan listened to Lin Zainan's words, and immediately raised her head and drank all the large glasses of wine in her hand.
A spicy warm current rushes down and the cool breath in the abdomen blends and spreads, nourishing Yun Ruoyan's internal organs, bones and meridians, as well as every inch of skin and every pore along with the blood.
"Look, Sister Ruoyan's face!" Lin Qingxue looked at Yun Ruoyan in surprise, her eyes staring at her face for a moment.
I saw that her face was first blue and then red, and finally turned into a strange purple, and then the purple slowly retreated from Yun Ruoyan's left forehead to the right, and finally converged on the birthmark on Yun Ruoyan's right cheek.
The purple-black poisonous blood broke through the scab that had just formed on the scar on Yun Ruoyan's right face and flowed down.
"Great, finally the poisonous roots have been forced out. Lin Zainan's tone was also quite excited, he turned his head to look at Lin Qingchen, who was also looking at Yun Ruoyan with full attention, and ordered: "Qingchen, go and collect the poisonous blood on Ruoyan's face!"
Lin Qingchen was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and quickly found a small porcelain bottle to collect the poisonous blood flowing from Yun Ruoyan's face with a silver needle and handed it to Lin Zainan.
Lin Zainan took the porcelain bottle in his hand, snorted coldly, and said to himself: "I want to see what kind of powerful poison it is, which has harmed my grandson for so many years!"
Yun Ruoyan seemed to be floating on the clouds at this time, and she was full of relaxation that she had never felt before.
"Chirp. In extreme comfort, Yun Ruoyan heard the sound of chirping, but she didn't want to open her eyes, she didn't want to pay attention, at this moment she just wanted to sleep comfortably like this.
"Master, congratulations, you have finally cleared the toxins from your body. Jiu Jiu said happily: "Master, sleep well, you will be better when you wake up." ”
Yun Ruoyan just kept standing in the middle of the room, and after a long time, when Lin Qingxue tried to wake her up, she found that she was actually asleep standing like that.
Yun Ruoyan slept very soundly and soundly, even when Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen put her on the bed, she didn't have the slightest reaction.
Lin Qingchen brought hot water, put in anti-inflammatory powder, and then used a towel to wipe Yun Ruoyan's right cheek covered with purple-black blood clots, gently and softly, little by little, to wipe off the dirt, revealing her fair and clean skin.
Looking at Yun Ruoyan's gradually revealing true face, Lin Qingchen's eyes slowly widened.
After Lin Qingxue helped her grandfather back to the room to rest, she walked to the room where Yun Ruoyan was resting, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Lin Qingchen's low voice, and she hurriedly walked in.
When she saw the face of Yun Ruoyan lying on the bed, she also let out a low snort, and then slowly widened her eyes like Lin Qingchen.
"Yan'er, Yan'er. In her sleep, Yun Ruoyan heard someone calling her breast name, which had only been evoked when she was very young.
Who is calling her? Yun Ruoyan finally opened her eyes.
In the eyes of a pink peach blossom forest, in the depths of the peach blossoms, the man was calling her again.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, come here. ”
"Who? Yun Ruoyan walked into the peach blossom forest in the direction from which the voice came.
Finally, she saw the woman who called her in the forest, wearing a pink dress the same color as the peach blossom, dancing among the fluttering petals, and she smiled at Yun Ruoyan as she danced.
"Yan'er, do you see your mother dancing beautifully?"
"Mother, are you my mother?" asked Yun Ruoyan as she walked towards the woman, and gradually she saw her face clearly.
The woman is extremely beautiful, with creamy and snowy skin, hair dyed like ink, eyebrows like distant daisies, and eyes like stars.
Yun Ruoyan is sure that this is her mother-in-law!
Because when she was very young, Yun Ruoyan had seen a portrait of her mother hanging in her father's room. It was only later that Aunt An's was corrected, and the portrait of her mother disappeared, but the appearance of her mother was deeply engraved in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
"Mother. Yun Ruoyan called her mother with tears in her eyes, and approached the dancing woman step by step.
At this time, the woman stopped dancing and looked at Yun Ruoyan. Under Yun Ruoyan's gaze, she clutched her chest with a painful expression. Then, suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood.
Blood stained her pink dress, and she slowly lay down in the falling peach petals with affection and reluctance in her eyes.
"Mother!"
Yun Ruoyan woke up from the bed with a scream, looked around and found himself lying in a familiar room, only then did he react, it turned out that he had a dream.
The house is a woman's boudoir, which is very clean, and there is no feeling of being vacant all year round.
Yun Ruoyan remembered that this was her mother's boudoir in the Lin family, and she would live here when she came to the Lin family occasionally in her previous life. Behind the house is a peach forest, and when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, they are as beautiful as in a dream.
Yun Ruoyan shook her head, trying to get rid of the picture in her dream.
"Chirp, master, you're awake, tweet. There was a chirping voice in my head.
"Well, this night's sleep is so comfortable. Yun Ruoyan got up from the bed and found that she was wearing close-fitting pajamas, and her own clothes were nowhere to be found, it was estimated that they were too dirty and were directly thrown away.
She walked to the closet against the wall and opened it to find a random piece of clothing to wear.
"Master, it's great that you've slept for three days and three nights this night, and the poison in your body has been completely cured!"
Yun Ruoyan took a pink dress from the kitchen, and when she was wearing it, she paused when she heard the chirp, and she asked in disbelief: "I slept for three days and three nights?!"
"yes!"
She frowned slightly, and said to herself: "I don't know how my ancestor is, will the loss of so much cultivation affect his body." And the Yun family's side, if I don't go back for so long, will they all think I'm dead? ”
"Sister Ruoyan, you're awake!"
Lin Qingxue's voice came from behind her, Yun Ruoyan turned around and saw Lin Qingxue, but for some reason Lin Qingxue suddenly froze.
"Sister Qingxue, what's wrong with you?" Yun Ruoyan looked at Lin Qingxue suspiciously and asked.
Lin Qingxue was excited, and hurriedly patted her round little face with her hand, and kept saying to herself: "Oops! Haven't you come to see it every day these days, how can you still be beautiful, it's really unproductive, too nymphomaniac." ”
"Sister Qingxue, what's wrong with you?" Yun Ruoyan looked at Lin Qingxue's abnormal behavior in confusion.
"She's so beautiful by you. At this time, Lin Qingchen walked in with a tray and a smile.
She looked at Yun Ruoyan and said with a smile: "This little nymphomaniac, every day you have to stare at your sister all day, you are going to be cross-eyed." ”
"I don't. Lin Qingxue covered her face and said embarrassedly: "It's just a long time coming." ”
Yun Ruoyan couldn't understand what the two sisters were talking about for a while, so she stood there and didn't speak.
Lin Qingchen walked to her side, took her arm, and said, "Sister, I'll make up for you, okay." Then he pulled her to the dresser without saying a word.
"Sister, look. Lin Qingchen pointed to the bright and transparent crystal mirror and let Yun Ruoyan look at it.
Yun Ruoyan turned her head inadvertently, and a beautiful woman appeared in her eyes without warning.
Clotted snow skin, ink hair scattered, black eyebrows are picturesque, and eyes are like stars.
Yun Ruoyan slowly raised her hand and stroked her right cheek, smooth and white like a newborn baby.
"Is this me?" she said, looking at herself in the mirror in disbelief.
