51: Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill

"Xiaochun, let me explain."

"Yesterday, I went to treat a patient at Hundred Flowers Tower."

Qin Feng said helplessly.

"I don't believe you!"

Seeing Xiaochun's tearful, aggrieved, and skeptical look, Qin Feng's head throbbed. He was racking his brains for a way to patch up the lie when a voice, seductive to the bone and laced with playful laughter, drifted in from the clinic entrance.

"Giggle... Little sister, what he said is true."

Everyone looked toward the sound. Hua Qianying was leaning against the doorframe at some point, still in that dazzling rose-red dress. Her eyes shimmered, and her smile was like a blooming flower. She was like a sudden burst of a flaming rose, instantly drawing all eyes in the clinic.

Doctor Chu's eyes narrowed instantly. A faint, imperceptible glint and gravity flashed through the depths of his eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well. Beside him, Liu Da was dumbstruck, his saliva nearly dripping out. He hurriedly wiped his mouth after Xiaochun glared at him.

Xiaochun saw Hua Qianying in person and heard her confirm it. Although she still felt the woman was rather bewitching, at least Big Brother Qin hadn't lied to go fooling around? She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and whispered to Qin Feng, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Qin, I... I misunderstood you."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened. Hua Qianying? How did she find this place? Was it a coincidence, or... He subconsciously touched the hundred flowers token in his robe. He understood now; there must be some unknown tracking connection between the mother and child tokens.

He suppressed his doubts and put on a professional smile, stepping forward. "Pavilion Master Hua, hello. Are you here to continue your herbal treatment?"

Hua Qianying walked into the clinic with graceful steps, bringing a gust of fragrant wind. Her gaze paused subtly on Doctor Chu for a moment before landing on Qin Feng, her eyes full of smiles. "Mhm, let's find a quiet room. Big sister has some private words to say to you."

The two entered the inner room. Hua Qianying set up a simple soundproofing barrier before looking at Qin Feng leisurely, her eyes filled with a smile that seemed to see through everything. "Who would have thought... the famous 'Ghost' is actually an obscure little apprentice in this Huichun Medical Hall. If the Purple Robe Bandits and the Yin Demon Sect, who are still searching high and low, found out, they probably wouldn't be able to guess it even if they racked their brains."

She paused, her gaze sweeping toward Doctor Chu outside as if intentionally or unintentionally, and lowered her voice. "Your master... hehe, his foundation is quite deep. He's probably a Grand Martial Master, or even higher? It's just that he looks old, and his blood and qi seem to have some hidden injuries. I'm afraid in the future... he might not be able to protect you forever."

Qin Feng was inwardly alarmed; Hua Qianying's insight was incredibly sharp! His expression remained unchanged as he asked in a deep voice, "What is Pavilion Master Hua's purpose for coming here today?"

"Giggle, look at you. Can't big sister come to see my newly acquired 'good little brother' if there's nothing wrong?" Hua Qianying gave him a flirtatious look, her charming appearance enough to make any man's heart race. With a flick of her wrist, she took out an exquisite white jade bottle and pressed it into Qin Feng's hand. "Here, this is big sister's introductory gift for you—the 'hundred flowers jade dew pill', which has miraculous effects for a Martial Master Peak to Breakthrough the Grand Martial Master Bottleneck. I specifically applied for it from the palace treasury for you today. You heartless little rascal, and you still suspect big sister has ulterior motives?"

hundred flowers jade dew pill! A Medicinal Pill to Breakthrough to Grand Martial Master! This 'introductory gift' was incredibly significant!

Qin Feng took the jade bottle. It felt warm to the touch, and he could feel the vast medicinal power within. His expression was complex, but he eventually cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the generous gift, Pavilion Master Hua."

"That's more like it." Hua Qianying nodded with satisfaction, then her tone became slightly more serious. "By the way, let me remind you: chaos is coming. Having more strength means having more capital for self-preservation. Take care of yourself."

"Chaos? Does Pavilion Master Hua mean the matter of the Emperor being captured at the front lines?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.

Hua Qianying only smiled mysteriously and didn't answer directly. "When you need to know, you will know. Alright, write me a few prescriptions for that beauty-enhancing and soul-soothing medicine like last time."

After seeing Hua Qianying off, Qin Feng returned to the front hall, feeling the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Doctor Chu looked at him, his voice calm but meaningful. "Feng'er, this Pavilion Master Hua... is not simple. The Hundred Flowers Palace behind her runs deep. If it's not necessary, it's best to stay away from her."

Xiaochun also came over, tugging at Qin Feng's sleeve, her small face full of worry and a hint of imperceptible jealousy. "Big Brother Qin, she... she's the owner of a brothel! Her guests... it's still... it's better to have less contact with her."

Seeing his master's grave expression and Xiaochun's concerned eyes, Qin Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.

Stay away?

Now that he had the hundred flowers token on him and the mother token was still in her hands, how could he stay away?

That night, Qin Feng took out the hundred flowers jade dew pill. The Medicinal Pill was the size of a longan, pure white all over, with naturally formed hundred-flower cloud patterns on the surface. It had an exotic fragrance and was shrouded in Spiritual Qi. He swallowed it without hesitation and then circulated the Primordial Unity Qi Art.

The Medicinal Pill melted in his mouth. It didn't bring a violent impact but instead turned into a warm, jade-like, yet vast and pure current, like the vitality gathered when a hundred flowers bloom in spring, quickly rushing to his limbs and bones. His Sword Heart was clear, precisely guiding this massive medicinal power to be greedily absorbed and refined by his Meridians and Sword Bone.

He could clearly feel his Internal Energy becoming increasingly pure and condensed at a visible rate. His Late Martial Master Realm was rapidly consolidating and launching an impact toward that sturdier barrier.

"It really is good stuff!" Qin Feng praised inwardly. With the coordination of his Sword Heart, the absorption efficiency of this Medicinal Pill was extremely high.

"I must reach the Martial Master Peak as soon as possible!" Feeling the surging power within and the vague pressure from the outside world, Qin Feng's determination to become stronger grew even firmer. Only with strength could he control his own destiny in the upcoming chaos.
