Chapter 2400
Honglian hummed in agreement. "It really isn't. This condition started after my face turned red. The main thing is, I am an immortal, yet I must eat huge amounts of food every day. If I don't eat, I have no energy. If you truly stop feeding me, I won't die, but my whole body will feel terrible."
Zhu Yanyi listened, slightly surprised. She said, "Honglian, I am a medical cultivator. Extend your hand. Shall I check your pulse?"
"Sure." Honglian held a piece of immortal beef in her left hand and extended her right hand to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi checked Honglian’s pulse and examined her body. She discovered something and smiled. "Honglian, did you visit a secret realm before ascending?"
"How did you know?" Honglian was stunned.
"And you killed a red cow in that realm, then roasted and ate it," Zhu Yanyi continued with a smile.
"Yes, you saw that too?" Honglian looked at Zhu Yanyi with suspicion. "Are you a spy sent by some sect? That’s why you know everything about me."
Zhu Yanyi laughed at Honglian’s words. "I am not a spy. I am a medical cultivator. Didn’t I tell you? Since I am a medical cultivator, I understand medicine. When I checked your pulse, I naturally found this issue."
Honglian still didn’t believe it. "Checking a pulse can reveal that I ate a roasted red cow in a secret realm?"
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "That roasted red cow was no ordinary cow. It was a Fire Cow, a spiritual beast with strong fire attributes. Its spiritual energy was very potent. By roasting it, you increased its fire attribute even more.
"You should be glad your constitution is fire-based, so you could withstand this change. Otherwise, if you had a different constitution, you would have burned to death long ago. Your current state is not your final form. Once you fully absorb the Fire Cow’s energy, you will return to your original appearance."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Honglian and said, "Of course, if you trust me, I can use another method to treat you. I can accelerate the dissipation of the fire attribute and seal the excess fire spiritual energy in your dantian. As your cultivation improves, this energy will slowly unlock according to your level. This way, you can restore your original appearance sooner."
Honglian patted her face. "So, this illness was caused by eating."
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "But because you ate it, you were able to ascend to immortality. Without the Fire Cow’s energy, you could not have ascended yet."
"Right, I almost forgot," Honglian said with a sigh. "My original aptitude was average, not particularly good. Yet I ascended. My master and several senior brothers did not ascend."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "That is because the Fire Cow’s fire attribute changed your constitution, turning you into a natural Fire Spirit Body. However, since you have not fully absorbed the fire attribute, your constitution is still concealed."
Honglian looked surprised. "Does that mean I have become a treasure?"
Zhu Yanyi had never heard anyone describe their constitution this way. She laughed. "You are correct. By normal standards, you have indeed become a treasure."
Honglian stuck out her tongue. "After you treat my appearance, can this body constitution still be concealed?"
"That is possible," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "But do you trust me so easily?"
"Of course I trust you. I have nothing worth plotting for. If you were scheming against me, you wouldn’t have told me so much," Honglian said straightforwardly.
Zhu Yanyi liked Honglian’s frank personality. "In that case, after we finish eating, I will take you to my place to treat you." She then teased, "I am a liar, you know."
Honglian snorted at Zhu Yanyi. "If there are beautiful liars like you in the Immortal Realm, I accept it."
"Cough, cough." Yan Aohan coughed twice nearby. "Don’t say that. Yanyi is my wife, not yours."
Honglian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. "So, you are jealous."
Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue and smiled at Yan Aohan. "Stop being jealous."
Yan Aohan looked seriously at Zhu Yanyi. "If you didn’t flirt with people randomly, I wouldn’t be jealous. The problem is you have been too good at flirting lately."
Yan Aohan was quite dissatisfied with this aspect of Zhu Yanyi. Why flirt when things were fine? This naturally made Yan Aohan unhappy. His rivals included not just men, but women too.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Okay, I was wrong. I won’t flirt randomly anymore." It was better to admit fault quickly to avoid her husband’s anger.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi like this, Yan Aohan nodded in satisfaction. "As long as you understand in your heart. You are my wife. If you must flirt, you can only flirt with me. Absolutely no one else, whether man or woman." Yan Aohan did not forget to advise earnestly. In his heart, he thought he would stick to his wife more often in the future, mainly to supervise her and prevent her from flirting randomly.
Zhu Yanyi nodded eagerly. Her husband was dangerous when jealous. Especially after a month of long travel, Zhu Yanyi did not want to continue such journeys recently. That painful yet happy feeling was truly memorable.
After finishing the meal, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan took Honglian to the Suiyuan Pharmacy.
"This place is really nice." Upon entering the Suiyuan Pharmacy, Honglian’s eyes were full of surprise. "There are many medicinal herbs planted in this courtyard. It’s a pity my second senior brother is not here; otherwise, she would definitely like it." From this, one could tell her second senior brother was also a medical, herbal, or pill cultivator.
"Is your second senior brother also studying medicine?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually.
"He is a pill cultivator. But my second senior brother is very powerful. He can already refine sixth-grade pills," Honglian said proudly.
"That is good." For an ordinary pill cultivator, reaching the sixth grade was indeed rare. Zhu Yanyi was an anomaly and could not be judged by normal standards.
Zhu Yanyi said, "As long as you ascend, you will have opportunities to meet in the future." She then introduced the Suiyuan Pharmacy. "This is the temporary resting place for my husband and me. We call it Suiyuan Pharmacy. Unless one has fate, they cannot find this place. My husband specially refined it for me, and I chose the name."
"Is this an immortal artifact?" Honglian widened her eyes.
