Chapter 24: Must Succeed

Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Xue Fanxin heard their conversation clearly from outside the study. Thinking back to how Xue Batian had given her 5,000 taels without even blinking, she was extremely touched.

Her grandfather was too good to her. No matter what, she had to help this old man.

Grandpa Xue Fanxin walked into the study and handed over the 10,000-tael banknote. Grandpa, these are ten thousand taels of silver. Take it for emergencies. I'll think of a way to get you more silver later and solve the problem of the Xue family's provisions.

Little Xin'er, where did you get these 10,000 taels? Xue Batian knew very well that he had only given this girl 5,000 taels in the morning, but she came back with 10,000 in the afternoon.

Could it be that she stole it?

That couldn't be right. Based on her ability, it was already good enough that others didn't steal from her. How could she have the strength to steal from others?

Xue Fanxin did not want Xue Batian to think too much, so she told him everything that had happened today in detail. Of course, she only said that Lian Bingyu had offered a high price to buy the Purple Jade Orchid from her. As for sowing discord, she did not mention a word.

How could she bring that up?

You swindled Lian Bingyu for 10,000 taels of silver. Aren't you afraid of provoking her? Xue Batian was actually quite afraid of Lian Bingyu. After all, she was Sage Zhong Yang's disciple.

Sage Zhong Yang was the most formidable alchemist in the Nanling Empire. Offending him was not a wise move.

Grandpa, don't worry. These ten thousand taels are nothing to Lian Bingyu. She won't get angry with me over this little money. Grandpa, I'll go back to my room first. As for the Xue family's army provisions, I'll try my best to help you resolve them. Xue Fanxin didn't say much to Xue Batian. She carried the herbs she had bought from the pharmacy back to her room and started to fiddle with her herbs.

Although she was good at medicine, she did not know how to refine the herbs or concoct spirit potions. Therefore, when she concocted her first spirit potion, she was especially careful. All the steps were done according to the book, and each one required considerable detail.

She did not buy many herbs this time. She did not know if she could successfully concoct the Spirit Awakening Potion. If she failed, the few thousand taels of silver would be wasted! It had to be known that what the Duke's estate lacked the most now was money, money, and money

I can't waste it. I have to succeed.

In order to successfully concoct the Spirit Awakening Potion in one try, Xue Fanxin became extremely alert and experimented with it carefully.

Fortunately, the method of concoction recorded in the book was very detailed. Even the use and time were written clearly in a detailed manner. As long as one put in a little effort and was not too stupid, even someone concocting a spirit potion for the first time would be able to successfully do it.

Xue Fanxin worked hard for an entire night before finally concocting the Spirit Awakening Potion. She then instructed the maidservant to prepare hot water for immediate use.

The method to use the Spirit Awakening Potion was very simple. You just had to soak it in the bathwater.

Only by awakening her spirit could she embark on the road of cultivation and become a powerful person. She did not believe that a 21st century medical genius like her could not awaken her spirit.

Xue Fanxin took off her clothes and soaked herself in the tub. She could clearly feel the Spirit Awakening Potion attacking her meridians and opening them all.

However, this process was no ordinary pain. It was as if she had been beaten up by a group of people, and her entire body was in intense pain.

If she had not been a practitioner in her previous life, she would not have been able to bear such pain.
