Chapter 2401

"Actually, it should be considered a divine artifact. It just lacks a spirit. With a spirit, it would be perfect. Right now, it can grow, but the spirit hasn't been cultivated yet, so it’s only a semi-divine artifact." Zhu Yanyi smiled brightly. "But keeping it here is quite good. At least no one will find it. And no one has found us either."

"If I remember correctly, this place belongs to the 'Three-No' zone." Hong Lian had noted the location when she arrived. She had found it strange to come here, and even stranger that such a house existed without anyone noticing. Now, she understood a bit.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Yes, this place is in the 'Three-No' zone."

After getting a definite answer, Hong Lian gave Zhu Yanyi a thumbs-up. "You’re amazing. You dared to build such a large courtyard here."

"Not just anyone can find this courtyard," Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "As I said, only those with destiny can enter Suiyuan Pharmacy. Besides, I told you it’s a semi-divine artifact. Placing it here makes it completely undetectable."

Hearing this, Hong Lian realized Zhu Yanyi had been telling the truth. She tilted her head. "Really? No one has found this place?"

"If you don’t have the right destiny, you can’t find it," Zhu Yanyi confirmed. "Besides, this 'Three-No' zone originally belongs to me."

"Ah~" Hong Lian looked at Zhu Yanyi with disbelief again.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Don’t doubt it. It’s true. It originally belonged to me. I have the land deed right here. I was alone and hadn’t figured out the situation here, so I didn’t touch it. Now that I’ve understood the situation, this place will be mine in the future."

"The land deed is with you?" Hong Lian wanted to confirm again.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Yes, the land deed is indeed with me." She looked at Hong Lian. "It’s been with me for a long time. I originally wanted to establish a sect here."

"You want to establish a sect? Do you need my help?" Hong Lian thought Zhu Yanyi had already established one.

"It would be best if you helped. Actually, I haven’t established the sect yet because I’ve had no time. Establishing a sect requires people. Currently, there are only my husband and me. Even with you, that’s only three people. There’s too much to do." Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, then looked at Hong Lian. "Since you said you want to join, let’s do this: you manage the sect affairs, such as organizing and recruiting. I will generally provide the funds, and you handle the rest."

Hong Lian opened her mouth wide, looking at Zhu Yanyi. "You’re just handing it over like that? Don’t you think that’s wrong?"

"What’s wrong with it?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.

"Everything is wrong! We’ve only known each other for one day. You trust me like this, without worrying that I might take your money and run?" Hong Lian reminded her.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head and smiled lightly. "If that happens, I’ll just blame my own poor judgment. Besides, do you really think my things are that easy to take?" She gave a mysterious smile and stopped explaining. "Come on, let’s go inside. I’ll give you acupuncture. I’ll seal your excess fire spiritual energy, which will make you feel a bit more relaxed."

Hong Lian nodded. Although she didn’t fully understand what Zhu Yanyi meant, she realized that Zhu Yanyi was definitely not just a pure medical cultivator on the surface.

Zhu Yanyi prepared to give Hong Lian acupuncture. Yan Aohan did not enter. He walked around once and then went into the Ruyi Space to visit the baby.

After all, Hong Lian was a woman. Zhu Yanyi needed to give her acupuncture, which required removing clothes. It would be awkward for a man to be present, even though Hong Lian’s current appearance did not look like a normal woman.

Hong Lian lay on the sickbed. Zhu Yanyi began the acupuncture. "I will seal your excess fire spiritual energy in your dantian. But don’t worry, this fire spiritual energy will not harm your dantian. Right now, your dantian is like a warehouse, storing the excess fire spiritual energy. When you need it, you can release it slowly."

As Zhu Yanyi spoke, golden needles flew everywhere. Just from this skill, Hong Lian knew Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills were extraordinary.

"I feel your medical skills are already very impressive," Hong Lian said.

"I’ve been studying since childhood. I started learning medicine at age five. After all these years, I’ve been on this path. If my medical skills weren’t good, I’d be letting myself down," Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile, her hands never stopping.

Zhu Yanyi’s movements were fast. Hong Lian had wanted to say something else, but for some reason, she felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

After Hong Lian fell asleep, Zhu Yanyi’s hands moved even more freely. She continuously used wood elemental energy to guide Hong Lian’s body. Gradually, Hong Lian’s red skin color faded. Her figure also changed. Her originally burly, Zhang Fei-like appearance slowly disappeared. She was now a bit taller, with shoulders slightly broader than a normal woman’s, but it was still clear that she was a woman.

After finishing, Zhu Yanyi stepped aside. Hong Lian was still sleeping and needed to wake up naturally.

Hong Lian woke up naturally, sat up, and looked around. Then she remembered where she was. Seeing a mirror nearby, she went over to look and was stunned.

The woman in the mirror had a round face. Her features were not particularly delicate, but she had a natural heroic spirit. Her original red face was gone.

Hong Lian walked out of the room and saw Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan in the courtyard. One was drying herbs, and the other was weeding.

"You’re awake. You slept quite long—three whole days," Zhu Yanyi said.

Hong Lian’s face was full of surprise. "I just looked in the mirror. I never thought I could look this good."

Zhu Yanyi laughed heartily. "You weren’t ugly originally. You just had too much fire energy. Now that the fire spiritual energy is sealed, you’ve returned to your original appearance."

"This looks better than my original appearance," Hong Lian said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Really? That’s good too. It shows my medical skills are decent."

"Not just decent, but very good," Hong Lian said seriously. "Now that I look like this, I can go find a job without problems."

"You still want to find a job?" Zhu Yanyi glanced at Hong Lian sideways.

Hong Lian remembered what happened before her treatment. "Oh right, I almost forgot." She patted her forehead. "I’m supposed to help you establish a sect."
