Zhu Yanyi looked down at her feet. "I just miss all the grandpas and grandmas. I worry if their bodies will be okay in the capital."
Thinking of health, she remembered the Spirit Spring. She took out a small porcelain bottle, no bigger than a thumb, and handed it to Master Wisdom.
"This is life-saving medicine. Only one drop left. Here, take it. I gave every grandpa and grandma one drop. You get one too," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
Master Wisdom took it and opened the lid. A wave of spiritual energy hit his nose. His state of mind suddenly improved by a step. Surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly closed the lid.
"Only someone as careless as you would give such a good thing away so easily. Don't do this again in the future."
She sighed in her heart. No wonder those elders were worried about this little disciple. Sometimes her actions warmed their hearts, but also made them worry.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I got it by chance. I don't have much. It's for protection. I hope you never have to use it. If you use it, it means you are in danger."
Zhu Yanyi meant it. She only hoped they used the Spirit Spring liquid for protection, not as regular medicine.
Master Wisdom smiled gently. "Child, thank you."
She didn't think it was just ordinary medicine. As a Buddhist practitioner, she knew some things. She could feel from the spiritual energy that this was no common item. But Zhu Yanyi was never an ordinary person. Since her disciple gave it to her, she accepted it without question.
Zhu Yanyi had lunch with Master Wisdom before returning to Xie Zhong.
Xie Zhong asked her about the houses. "What do you plan to do with those few houses? Rent them out?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "I haven't decided yet. Let's leave them as they are for now. I'll think about it later."
Renting was a good idea, but Zhu Yanyi didn't want to be a landlord yet. The houses still held many items left by the elders. She wanted to finish organizing them first. Even if she rented them out, she would need to pick steady, educated tenants. She couldn't let anyone damage the structure of the houses. These houses were the life's work of the elders.
Zhu Yanyi was nostalgic. She disliked people changing established layouts. It was a strange kind of obsession of hers.
With the elders gone, Zhu Yanyi felt empty inside. To fill that emptiness, she threw herself into her studies. During the day, she attended school for high school courses. At night, she entered the Ruyi Space to learn various medical techniques.
From the cases of Old Man Yun and Yan Aohan, she could see that someone in the shadows knew internal formations. Although these formations were nothing to Zhu Yanyi, she worried the other party was also studying them. If they became too advanced, she might not be able to break them. So, while no one was watching her closely, she learned as much as she could.
Zhu Yanyi arranged her study schedule very tightly. In her spare time, she helped Xie Xinlian recover from childbirth.
Because she had publicly cured Zhou Mingyu's snake poison, people from nearby villages treated her like a goddess. They came to her for illnesses they couldn't solve. She helped when she could.
Her days were very full. She had no spare time at all.
Meanwhile, in the capital, things were very tense during this period.
