Chapter 1274 The Whereabouts of the Physical Body
Wei Anyu did wake up the next day, but he was extremely weak. After all, he had been starving for three days and had not eaten or drunk anything. The fear and despair of being conscious but unable to control his body almost overwhelmed him.
Wei Anyu didn't even have the strength to cry. After waking up, he fell seriously ill. But since then, he never dared to get close to Yunxi again, nor did he have any desire to compete for favor. He silently became the seventh young master born out of wedlock.
After this incident, the Prime Minister gathered all his sons, wives, and concubines together, dismissed the servants, and made it clear that no one in the family should covet Yunxi's things. Otherwise, Xiaoqi would serve as a warning. He also told everyone about how Xiaoqi stole Yunxi's protective jade pendant, which ultimately caused him to fall into a coma for three days for no apparent reason.
Since then, no one has challenged Yunxi's position in the Prime Minister's residence. Even her elder brother and sister, who are born of the same mother, speak softly and gently to Yunxi and dote on her. The two of them always search for delicious and fun things outside the residence and send them to Ranxi Garden. When they have time, they will come to Ranxi Garden to sit for a while, talk about things outside, and also send their little sister some storybooks to relieve her boredom, making Yunxi's days more and more leisurely.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Yunxi was ten years old. Her eldest brother had already entered officialdom, her second sister had gotten married, her third and fourth sisters were looking for a husband, her fifth sister had hired a female tutor, and her sixth and seventh brothers were still studying at the school. Only she was the most carefree. Although she could not leave the Prime Minister's residence, she could do whatever she wanted.
Feeling bored, Yunxi begged the Prime Minister to invite Physician Ye to teach her medicine. She wanted to learn the medical skills of Yufeng Kingdom to prepare medicine for herself and improve her health so that her body could withstand the strain.
Doctor Ye only taught Yunxi for a year before claiming that there was nothing more to teach her, and that the rest was just about accumulating experience. However, as the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Wei, who was most favored, she had no way to interact with outsiders and thus had no way to accumulate experience in treating patients. Learning medicine was just a way to pass the time.
Knowing her own situation best, Yunxi, combining the available medicinal herbs in Yufeng Kingdom, prepared a body-conditioning soup for herself, specifically for soaking in.
After three years of treatment, the results have been quite good. At least now Yunxi can sense that her physical body is unharmed, but she still cannot use her divine soul power to summon it from its exact location. Her contracted beast Lili has also temporarily fallen into a deep sleep because her physical body and divine soul are separated.
It seems that something has happened to her, and Bingyi Baihu and Qianxun should have noticed. Yunxi hopes that they will be quick-witted and protect her physical body.
Yunxi was unaware that the Yufeng Kingdom she was in was the mortal realm. Because her physical body contained abundant immortal energy, she directly fell into the cultivation realm of this world, landing in a dangerous place called Flaming Mountain. She plunged headfirst into a volcano crater, was enveloped by rolling lava, and sank to the bottom.
The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame instinctively burst forth, protecting Yunxi's physical body. However, because she lacked a divine soul, her physical body fell into a deep slumber, quietly remaining in the volcanic lava, awaiting the return of her divine soul.
When Yunxi entered the cultivation world, strange phenomena still occurred, attracting the attention of many cultivators. However, because she had fallen into a notoriously dangerous place in the cultivation world, she had not been found for a while.
However, because of Yunxi's presence, the strange fire Yan Yan, which was nurtured by the volcano itself, actually tried to devour Taixu Tianbing Yan Yan. After being taught a lesson by Taixu, Yan Yan secretly stole a spark of Taixu and hid away, no longer bothering Taixu.
Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame deliberately threw out that spark so that Yan Yan could devour it. After fusing with its ice flame, it could generate a new strange fire. This new strange fire could conceal its aura from its master's, making it the best camouflage.
As Taixu Tianbingyan had predicted, the birth of the new Strange Fire completely erased the strange phenomena caused by their fall into this realm, but it also made Flame Mountain famous. Yunxi's physical body was safe before the new Strange Fire stabilized, but there was a risk of exposure once the cultivators vying for the new Strange Fire arrived. However, Taixu felt that he could handle it.
At this time, Yunxi, who was nourishing her spirit in the Yufeng Kingdom, was unaware that her physical body had fallen into the perilous realm of cultivation. However, through the guidance of the Grand Preceptor Lingjian, she confirmed the presence of cultivators there, and thus continued to patiently refine her physical body, striving to make it strong enough to support her divine sense in searching for her body. One day, the Grand Preceptor Lingjian came to see Yunxi and examined the prescription she had prepared for herself to enhance her physique. His eyes shone brightly, and he nodded in praise repeatedly.
"Yunxi, your prescription is wonderful. It can enhance physical strength to the maximum extent. It's a pity that if we could use spiritual plants from the cultivation world as a substitute, the effect would probably be doubled."
Yunxi rolled her eyes after hearing this:
"Ling Jian, you know perfectly well that I have no spiritual root and cannot cultivate, so why provoke me like this?"
Ling Jian laughed after hearing this, handed back the paper with the recipe written on it, and changed the subject:
"Yunxi, my mission to guard Yufeng Kingdom is coming to an end. Soon a new national advisor will replace me. After I go back and collect the spirit stones, I will go into seclusion to break through my limits. I don't know if I will be able to see you after I come out of seclusion. I hope everything goes well for you."
Yunxi knew that Lingjian would return to the cultivation world after completing his mission, so she didn't try to stop him. She just smiled and said:
"I wish you a successful breakthrough. We'll definitely meet again sometime."
Thank you for your kind words.
After Ling Jian agreed, he left Yun Xi a bottle of medicine to strengthen her body, and then got up and left.
A month later, Ling Jian left Yu Feng Kingdom, and the new Grand Tutor Qian Yuan officially took office. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Jian did not mention Yun Xi's special status to Lin Yuan. Therefore, when Lin Yuan heard the rumors about Yun Xi's noble destiny, he did not take them to heart. He only thought that Ling Jian had received benefits from the Prime Minister's Mansion and spread these rumors to elevate Wei Yun Xi's status, and it did not attract his much attention.
Yunxi had no interest in getting to know the new Imperial Advisor and continued to live a quiet life in the Prime Minister's residence. Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Yunxi was already sixteen years old. She was about to have her coming-of-age ceremony, and the Prime Minister's wife attached great importance to this matter and had started preparations long ago.
Over the years, everything in the Prime Minister's residence has gone smoothly. The Dowager Lady is in good health, and Prime Minister Wei is highly valued by the current Emperor. Madam Wei handed over the power of managing the household affairs to her eldest daughter-in-law early on. With nothing to worry about, she devoted herself to accompanying Yunxi. She picked up the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting with Yunxi and lived a very comfortable life. She even seemed to grow younger with each passing year, which made all the concubines extremely envious and jealous, but none of them dared to approach her.
The other children in the family are all outstanding. Some are sent down to work, some are engrossed in poetry and songs, and some travel abroad. They have all made a name for themselves in their respective fields. All four daughters are capable of handling things on their own, and even Xiao Qi is married. However, he continues to avoid Yun Xi as always.
After the wedding, Wei Anning's wife wanted to meet the rumored noble lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, so she begged her husband. Finally, after returning to her parents' home on the third day after the wedding, she met Yunxi and was immediately amazed by her beauty.
From then on, Su Wanying loved to spend her free time in Yunxi's courtyard, chatting, embroidering, painting, writing poetry, and making rouge and face powder. The more she visited, the more she liked Yunxi, feeling that she was omniscient and omnipotent, and even exclaimed:
"Yunxi, is there anything you don't know or can't do?"
good night!
