Chapter 2251
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "It’s not perfect, but it’s decent."
"Ma Bo is my son, but she takes her mother’s surname," Lu Ying answered with a smile. The answer was simple, and Zhu Yanyi understood immediately.
Indeed, many sons took their mother’s surname. "Sorry about that," she said.
Lu Ying waved his hand gently. "It’s fine. People in the medical world know our relationship. But that boy wanted to make his own way. Fortunately, he hasn’t brought shame to me, so I let him go."
Then, Lu Ying looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Shen Jiang said you are the successor of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi?"
"In a way," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.
Lu Ying nodded, turned around, and without hesitation, retrieved a box from a hidden compartment. "This is an item left by the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. She once said only her successor could open it." She pushed the box toward Zhu Yanyi. "Actually, our medical world developed because our ancestors’ ancestors received guidance from the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have today’s medical world."
Zhu Yanyi hadn’t expected such a deep connection between the medical world and the Azure Sovereign Qingdi.
Lu Ying smiled. "Although our ancestors received guidance, they still relied on their own medical skills. So, there are differences. But after so many years, some medical techniques have become similar."
Zhu Yanyi agreed. "You’re right. Over time, things become similar. Knowledge and learning are like this, and medical skills are too. No matter the style, the root purpose is to benefit humanity. So, convergence is a good thing."
Lu Ying said, "Let’s not talk about that. This box belongs to the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. I give it to you. Take it. I have completed the task left by our ancestors.
To be honest, I don’t know what’s inside. The highest leaders of each generation only had the right to keep this box, not to open it.
I think someone must have been curious and tried to open it. But the Azure Sovereign Qingdi placed a seal on it. Only his successor can open it. Others cannot. Even if they can’t open it, it’s still his item. Keeping it here for too long isn’t good. Giving it to you now is perfect."
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly and didn’t refuse. She put the box away, then took out a bottle containing about 300 milliliters of medicinal liquid. "I don’t have many rare items. This is a thank-you gift for keeping this item for us."
Lu Ying was curious. She opened it, and a unique medicinal fragrance made her feel refreshed. She knew this was definitely a rare medicinal essence. She looked at Zhu Yanyi in surprise. "Miss, this is absolutely rare. Are you really giving it to us?"
"This is medicinal liquid, the essence of millions of herbs. I thought other gifts might not be appreciated. This will be useful to you. But don’t use it unless absolutely necessary. I only have these 300 milliliters. Once used, it’s gone," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Also, possessing great treasures can bring trouble."
"Don’t worry, I understand," Lu Ying said carefully hiding it. This wasn’t something anyone could easily get. Since Zhu Yanyi offered it, if it were anything else, she might refuse. But for this, she sincerely wouldn’t refuse.
Zhu Yanyi gave this because of that reason. No matter what was in the box, the fact that they preserved it for so many years showed their kindness. She wanted to repay them.
Because of this thought, she gave the bottle of medicinal liquid. For healers, medicinal liquid was far more useful than Spirit Spring water.
After leaving Lu Ying, Zhu Yanyi went back to rest. Most importantly, she needed to open the box. To avoid any issues, she decided to open it in the small bamboo pavilion in the Ruyi Space.
There was the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s inheritance and his aura. It was the most appropriate place.
It was a carved agarwood box, unlocked, but Zhu Yanyi found a seal from the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. She placed her hand on the box, circulated the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s technique, and the box slowly opened.
Inside was a letter and a jade token. The jade token looked like a small jade box, about the size of a palm.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t look inside the box yet. She opened the letter.
"To the one who sees this letter: You are my successor. I valued healing throughout my life, but I failed one person. This person is my lover, Qian Yao. I have no regrets toward the world or the Chaos, but I feel guilty only toward my wife, Qian Yao. Now that Chaos is imminent, I separated my emotional soul and my wife’s soul to nurture this ten-thousand-year jade box. My successor must find a way to send us into reincarnation, so we can reunite in the next life. This is a mandatory task for my successor. Left by the Azure Sovereign Qingdi."
Zhu Yanyi read the short letter and smiled helplessly. Fortunately, she hadn’t opened the jade box. It contained the souls of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi and her wife, Qian Yao. The jade box existed to nurture them.
They wanted to enter reincarnation. She dared not do this casually. She would ask Yan Aohan later. Sending great beings into reincarnation should be done by Yan Aohan. But she needed to give him advance notice.
Zhu Yanyi had an idea immediately. After leaving here, she would leave a message for Yan Aohan in the Underworld. When she returned to the Huaxia plane, she would decide how to handle this.
Zhu Yanyi carefully closed the box and placed it in the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s small bamboo pavilion. Most importantly, she placed the jade box under the portrait of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi and burned incense. It was a gesture of respect from her as her successor.
After seeing the truth, Zhu Yanyi left the space.
Zhu Yanyi and her group had only thirty days in the medical world. Every day, everyone was busy. They constantly practiced and learned.
Thus, the day of parting arrived unnoticed.
Bai Chaihu felt the most emotional during this time. When he first brought them here, he thought it was just a mission, with little emotion. But now, as he saw them off, he felt reluctant to let them go. "Will you come again next time?"
"I’m not sure. We have limited spots. Our school has many students. Usually, we compete in exams to decide who comes," Bai Haochen answered.
