Yu Shiqi listened to the wind and snow blowing outside the window all night, but when he woke up the next day, he saw a sunny sky.

The handymen of the inn were already clearing the snow at the front and back doors. Yu Shiqi was thinking about what he promised Xi Lingyue last night, so he ran to the top attic without even bothering to eat breakfast.

He planned to go through the six or seven boxes in the attic one by one. When he reached the fourth box, the picture book Xi Lingyue wanted had not yet been found, but the usable painting tools were almost there.

Yu Shiqi put the painting tools aside and went back to dig through the remaining boxes. After a while, he finally found a set of hardcover picture books buried underneath.

He took out the picture book together with the wooden box and bookcase, brushed off the accumulated dust, and saw the words "Zi Chen Kan Luan Romance" engraved on the box and the bookcase, and knew that he had found the right book.

Out of curiosity, he randomly picked out a book and opened it to see another small title on the title page.

"Night Journey to Wangchuan River..." Yu Shiqi read out.

The name was so strange that he secretly doubted it. Originally, the picture book was called Zi Chen Kan Rebellion, and the content must be about the rebellion that took place in the imperial capital in the last years of Taiye. But what does "Wangchuan Night Journey" mean?

It sounds like a legend from Jianghu.

Suddenly there was the sound of deliberately released footsteps behind him. Yu Shiqi closed the picture book and turned around to nod to Yin Xue who came up with cleaning utensils.

"The young shopkeeper said last night that the young master wanted to help her find something and ordered me to clean the attic today. Why did you come up first, young master?"

"No need to bother, I have found what she wants." Yu Shiqi smiled and held up the wooden box in his hand.

Yinxue glanced into the attic, noticed the pile of painting tools that had been sorted out, and said, "Then let me help you take down the painting tools and clean them."

"Now that I'm tired, I'll go and give this to the young shopkeeper first." After Yu Shiqi finished speaking, he walked past her holding the picture book box.

"Hey, the young shopkeeper may still be resting..." Yinxue turned around and said hesitantly, but Yu Shiqi had already walked down the stairs.

Xilingyue's room was on the easternmost side of the second floor. Yu Shiqi came to the door with the picture book in hand and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard an exclamation from inside.

He could recognize that it was Xi Lingyue's cry, and then heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking.

"Miss Xiling!" He pushed open the door without thinking, and saw Xilingyue squatting on the ground, looking at the broken porcelain on the ground with a sad look on her face.

Xilingyue's right sleeve was rolled up to the crook of her arm, and there was a red scar on her exposed forearm that was still bleeding. The sound of opening the door made her raise her head in shock, and she saw clearly the expression on the face of Empress Yu Shiqi.

Calmness returned.

"Did you find the picture book I wanted?" She saw what Yu Shiqi was holding in his hands.

"Found it...what's wrong with you?" Yu Shiqi saw a drop of blood condensing at the wound on her forearm, then fell to the ground and fainted into a blood spot.

There was a pool of lake-blue crystal liquid among the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Yu Shiqi didn't know what it was, but she could feel that Xilingyue seemed to feel sorry for them.

Xilingyue did not answer his question directly, but carefully picked up the largest piece of broken porcelain with her left hand and said "Look" to him.

Yu Shiqi looked at her hand and saw that the broken piece of porcelain still contained a small pool of lake-blue liquid.

Although he didn't understand what she meant, he still watched patiently and quietly, waiting for her to explain to him.

Xilingyue glanced at the scar on her right arm, frowned, gritted her teeth and suddenly clenched the fist of her right hand.

Yu Shiqi cried out "Ah". He saw that Xi Lingyue was deliberately using his inner energy to tear his wound even more seriously.

Different from the previous situation where blood slowly came out, the blood flow continued after the wound opened.

"What are you doing? Why are you doing this?" Yu Shiqi glanced around the room, trying to find something to help her bandage the wound and stop the bleeding.

"Calm down, I'm not crazy, look." Xilingyue said as she poured the liquid from the porcelain tiles onto the wound on her right arm, and the wound immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared completely. She wiped away the blood with a cloth soaked in water, and her forearm became as smooth as jade again, with no trace of scar visible.

Yu Shiqi found it incredible. He had only seen this kind of efficient regeneration and healing in the people and animals controlled by Yan Guming before.

"What kind of elixir is this?" he asked curiously.

"I got it from the thieves who desecrated my ancestor's tomb that day." Xilingyue said lightly.

Yu Shiqi's face suddenly darkened, and he cried out anxiously: "You used Yan Guming's medicine? How dare you... you... you..."

Seeing that he was so worried and scared that he couldn't speak clearly, Xilingyue suddenly laughed heartily. She stretched out her hand and flicked her finger on his forehead: "I'm teasing you. He has been burned to ashes. How could he still be there?"

What’s next?”

Yan Guming was burned to ashes by the heavenly fire she carried with the Yutian Sword. Even the Immortal Lotus, which condensed Xiling Xianhe's lifelong cultivation, was almost not spared, not to mention various common objects?

Before Yu Shiqi could continue to ask, she said: "This is a recipe that I studied on my own. This is the first time that I have made such a successful recipe. It's just that I was too excited just now and accidentally smashed it. What a pity."

Yu Shiqi didn't expect that this elixir was actually prepared by Xi Lingyue himself. He immediately admired her and comforted her and said: "Since we have succeeded, we can just prepare it according to this recipe in the future. It doesn't matter if we think about it."

It’s a difficult matter, there’s no need to be too sad, young shopkeeper.”

"What do you know? It's not difficult to prepare. The available raw materials are very rare." She sighed.

"Isn't it possible that even the Great Snow Sect can't do anything?"

"The shark oil needed to grow the bone shark, the juice extracted from the Shuanghua Twin Lotus, and the morning dew from the center of the flower when the soul-fixing grass blooms." Xilingyue looked at him with complicated eyes, "The bone shark only exists underground in Kunlun.

Among the undercurrents, the Frost Flower Twins are blooming on the top of the mountain. These two are not bad. The most difficult thing is the morning dew of the Soul-fixing Grass."

"Why?" Yu Shiqi had never heard of these magical things, and secretly sighed that the Western Wilderness is really a vast land and rich in resources.

"Because Soul-fixing Grass only blooms once a year, and only blooms for half an hour at a time, and it only blooms in the early morning to accumulate morning dew." Xilingyue pointed to the mess in front of her with a bitter smile: "This is just a little medicine here.

, I don’t even know how many flowers’ morning dew was used.”

Yu Shiqi nodded as if he understood.

"Put the picture book here, I can clean it myself." Xilingyue stood up and said.

"It would be great if this medicine could be prepared in large quantities."

He was actually still thinking about medicine.

Xi Lingyue guessed that what he was thinking was that if this kind of medicine could be mass-produced, it would be of great benefit to the practice of medicine and saving people. However, she didn't like Yu Shiqi's kind heart, so she deliberately said: "

Even if it can be prepared in large quantities, it will only be used by the people of the Great Snow Sect, and I don’t have the ambition to help the world and save people."

After hearing these words, Yu Shiqi's interest dropped. He suddenly remembered that he had nothing to do if he stayed here, so he retired to Xilingyue.

"Today Xueqing, I plan to go out for a walk, do you want to come with me?" Xilingyue suddenly asked.

"Go outside?"

"Go and see if anyone is trapped in the snow. It was so windy and snowy last night."

Yu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, thinking that what this Xiling girl said and what she did were not consistent, but he did not intend to point it out, but readily agreed.

"Then...are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?" Xilingyue subconsciously glanced at his right arm, thinking that the wound was obviously healed, and he had seen it just now.

Yu Shiqi whispered: "You said before that dealing with Yan Guming will greatly weaken your vitality."

Xilingyue smiled slightly, shook her head, and pointed at her cheek: "Don't you think my complexion looks much better today than before?"

Yu Shiqi glanced at her, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xilingyue did not hear the imaginative words of praise. She turned to look at the bronze mirror placed on the dressing table and found a small red bump bitten by mosquitoes on the lower half of her left cheek. She said angrily: "It looks like it was in the inn."

It’s too warm, and there are mosquitoes at this time of year...what should I do, what should I do, they’re so conspicuous.”

"The white jade has slight flaws, which is harmless. Young shopkeeper doesn't need to pay too much attention to it."

Xi Lingyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Yu Qiqi as if she didn't recognize him - when did this guy become so good at talking?
