Zhu Yanyi felt a bit annoyed inside. She remembered she had originally called it Spirit Spring, but now she had changed the name to Spirit Liquid. Fortunately, no one had noticed. If they had, she would have had to make up another excuse, saying she just made up the first name casually and changed it later because it didn’t fit. Luckily, it was just a name, and no one would think too much about it.
Old Master Yao knew the origin of the Spirit Liquid, so she cherished it even more. She did not regret giving away that one drop, but she felt she should have told Zhu Yanyi before doing so. After all, she had given it to her for self-defense.
Gu Jingting listened and asked, “What is faith?”
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She gave her a look that said, Are you joking? “Faith is not a thing. It is a person’s mental power. For example, people who believe in Buddha chant scriptures every day to prepare for their next life. That is a spiritual support. I think your question is a bit strange. Do you really not know what faith is?”
“I naturally know what faith is.” Gu Jingting felt amused and helpless after hearing Zhu Yanyi’s doubt. “I just said it casually. Besides, the effect of faith is quite strong.” Gu Jingting understood the power of faith. She knew that those in power today had reached their position because they shared a common faith. Faith seemed vague and empty, but in reality, it controlled people’s hearts. Because of this, she believed Zhu Yanyi when she said the Spirit Liquid was limited. After all, she was just a girl from the countryside. Even if the villagers believed in and worshipped her, they were only people from one small place. So, the amount of Spirit Liquid produced would naturally not be large.
Old Master Yao also thought of this. However, he believed that as long as his disciple worked hard, this life-saving Spirit Liquid would become more abundant. He would not be greedy for his disciple’s things. He only instructed, “No matter what, this item is rare and hard to find. You should keep it hidden and not take it out casually in the future.”
Zhu Yanyi knew they believed her. Although she felt a bit sorry, she had no other choice. She could only show more care on the surface. “I will not use it unless the patient is very special. For example, I used it for Madam Ouyang because her body was extremely exhausted. I diluted it many times so that no one would notice the effect was too good. For Old Master Du, I only used Spirit Water. As for the Boss, I used one drop in her medicinal meal.”
“Hmm.” Old Master Yao nodded. Having such a thing did not mean it should just be hidden. It needed to be used where it mattered most. Someone like the Boss was very precious to Huaxia while alive. So, Zhu Yanyi using it was something she naturally agreed with. Old Master Du having Spirit Water was also good. Old Master Yao had tasted the effect of Spirit Water herself. She had consumed a lot of Zhu Yanyi’s Spirit Water back in the Four Towns.
“Tomorrow is Old Master Du’s surgery day. Ani, how is Old Master Du’s condition?” Old Master Yao stopped discussing this topic and changed the subject. Regarding the item in Zhu Yanyi’s hand, Old Master Yao would not ask, nor would she allow others to ask.
Hearing Old Master Yao’s question, Zhu Yanyi answered without hesitation. “There is no problem with the surgery tomorrow. I will use gold needles to anesthetize Old Master Du.” Actually, Zhu Yanyi very much wanted to tell Old Master Yao about the five-character surgical technique she had created herself. But this was something she had invented, and she did not know if it would be useful for Old Master Yao. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Grandpa Yao, I created a five-character surgical technique myself.”
