Chapter 2248

Zhu Yanyi followed Shen Jiang into the Medicine Bodhi Garden. Seeing the strings of Medicine Bodhi hanging from the trees, looking just like grapes, she stopped in surprise. "So beautiful."

It truly was beautiful. Because of the unique spiritual energy of the Medicine Bodhi, a hazy glow surrounded each string. It made people feel as if they were in a dream.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Shen Jiang smiled. "We like this scenery too."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. The amazement in her eyes did not fade. "It is really beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful Medicine Bodhi."

Shen Jiang laughed. "Among all Bodhi trees, only the Medicine Bodhi has this effect. Here, take these scissors. Cut down whichever string you like." Shen Jiang handed a pair of scissors to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi took the scissors. She looked at the Medicine Bodhi tree and then said, "Elder Shen Jiang, can I cut it with the branch?"

Shen Jiang looked at the Bodhi tree, then looked at Zhu Yanyi, and nodded. "Yes, but only the single branch holding that string."

"I don't want anything else. I feel the Medicine Bodhi is more beautiful with the branch." In truth, Zhu Yanyi planned to plant that branch in her Ruyi Space. Since the space had Xirang (Self-Growing Soil), no plant could die there. With the branch, Zhu Yanyi would effectively have endless Medicine Bodhi.

"Then choose a string." Shen Jiang had no objection. Indeed, Medicine Bodhi looked better hanging on the branch, so he did not mind.

Zhu Yanyi looked around and said, "That one. It is quite independent." She pointed to a string at the top of a tree. It was not large, but it stood alone. The main branch was neither too thick nor too thin. Most importantly, she could feel the vitality radiating from that branch, which was different from the other Medicine Bodhi.

"Alright, then cut it." Shen Jiang said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and slowly flew up. She arrived in front of that string of Bodhi, carefully supported it with her hands, and cut it along with the branch. Then she landed on the ground and returned the scissors to Shen Jiang.

Shen Jiang looked at the string Zhu Yanyi had cut. Although it was not large, there were actually eighty-one fruits. "Your luck is really good. There are eighty-one Medicine Bodhi fruits. Although they are small, the effect of the Medicine Bodhi remains."

Zhu Yanyi noticed this too and laughed. "I didn't expect my luck to be so good." She carefully put it away. In fact, as soon as the Medicine Bodhi entered the space, Zhu Yanyi placed it in the Xirang (Self-Growing Soil). The branch began to take root and grow rapidly.

Zhu Yanyi did not worry about this. She let everything in the space develop on its own.

Shen Jiang led Zhu Yanyi out of the Medicine Bodhi Garden and then asked, "Why do you need Medicine Bodhi? What pill do you plan to refine?"

Zhu Yanyi did not hide anything. "To be honest, Elder Shen Jiang, I come from the mortal realm. My realm has no spiritual energy. Now my cultivation is at the Void Movement stage. If I enter that realm, it will bring a heavy burden to it. So I need Medicine Bodhi to suppress my cultivation and store the excess power."

Shen Jiang nodded in understanding. "So you want to refine the Star-Dotting Pill." Elder Shen Jiang then added, "But this Star-Dotting Pill is a seventh-grade pill. Are you sure you can refine it?"

"I forgot to tell you, Elder Shen Jiang. The highest grade of pill I can refine now is a top-grade seventh-grade pill. I am thinking of practicing refining seventh-grade pills more, so I can hope to break through to the eighth grade sooner." Zhu Yanyi did not hide this. Some things really could not be hidden, especially in the Medical Realm.

Zhu Yanyi could see that the people in the Medical Realm might be arrogant or look down on others, but their character was good. In their eyes, there were probably only black and white colors, with no gray area. So with such people, it was better to speak directly. Beating around the bush was not a good thing.

Zhu Yanyi also understood why the Medical Realm did not allow outsiders to enter. No one knew the thoughts of outsiders. The Medical Realm was too pure. People like them were only suitable for living in the Medical Realm, not outside.

Zhu Yanyi’s only regret was that such people lived in the Medical Realm, leaving fewer doctors outside.

Elder Shen Jiang’s eyes lit up after hearing this. "You can refine top-grade seventh-grade pills. That is great. I have a seventh-grade pill that needs someone to refine. I wonder if you can help me?"

"Of course." Zhu Yanyi agreed without hesitation.

Although she was refining pills for Shen Jiang, Zhu Yanyi could improve her alchemy skills through the process.

It was a win-win situation. Zhu Yanyi knew Shen Jiang’s good intentions, and Shen Jiang really needed a high-level alchemist. So the two agreed on this.

"By the way, Elder Shen Jiang, how did you arrange for my companions who came with me?" Because Zhu Yanyi was different, Shen Jiang had not arranged for her to stay with the others from the Saint Academy.

Shen Jiang smiled. "I asked Ma Bo to test their situation. Their basic knowledge is solid, so I took them to other useful places according to their own needs. Some went to learn pill making, some to extract medicinal materials, and some to learn perfumery."

"That is good." Zhu Yanyi naturally knew that everyone who came here had different focuses in medicine. People like her, who specialized in all-around medicine, were rare. Fortunately, knowing they all had places to go, Zhu Yanyi felt much more at ease.

Zhu Yanyi and Shen Jiang arrived at the alchemy room. Shen Jiang prepared a separate alchemy room for her. "I will have someone send the medicinal materials. According to alchemy rules, you get one share for every three shares of materials."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Elder Shen Jiang, it is not necessary."

"It is necessary. This rule cannot be abolished. Besides, I am asking you to help refine pills. How can I not pay you?" Shen Jiang never thought people should refine pills for free. That was wrong.

Seeing Shen Jiang’s attitude, Zhu Yanyi did not refuse again. "Then let’s follow the old rules."

Shen Jiang left satisfied to make preparations.

Zhu Yanyi first familiarized herself with their alchemy room, then began to preheat the pill furnace. When the medicinal materials arrived, Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and said to Shen Jiang, "If anyone wants to learn my technique for refining seventh-grade pills, you can let them watch, but they must not make a sound."

Shen Jiang was slightly stunned by this. "Are you sure? Pills above the seventh grade are high-level pills. They are not easy to refine. Moreover, everyone has different techniques for refining pills. Most people do not tell others. Are you sure you want to teach everyone?"
