Chapter 38 Solidify the Foundation!
[Rejuvenating Grass: It can be used to refine the "Rejuvenating Pill" to restore spiritual power, and is one of the main ingredients.]
【Dewdrop Flower: Can be used to refine the "Rejuvenation Pill" as an important auxiliary ingredient; it can also be used to refine the "Foundation Building Pill" as an auxiliary ingredient.】

【Starlight Leaf: Can be used to stabilize the medicinal properties of pills. It is a common auxiliary medicine for many kinds of pills and is also one of the main ingredients of the "Foundation Building Pill".】
【…】
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up. "I never expected that so many spiritual plants would grow here!"
With these spiritual plants, one can not only draw talismans.
Even Qingluan and Ziyan's cultivation has been settled!
At least reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is no longer a concern!
……
In the following days.
Qin Xiao never left the backyard of Ziyan Pavilion again.
During the day, he and Mu Ziyan stayed together in a secluded underground mine.
Collect those rare spiritual plants one by one.
Subsequently, he used spiritual power to create blades to mine spirit stone ore.
Qin Xiao naturally stored these spiritual plants and minerals into the system space.
But in Mu Ziyan's eyes, it was the immortal's "hidden power" technique.
She was always amazed and became increasingly fascinated by the path of cultivation!
at night.
The boudoir became a place for cultivation.
Qin Xiao led Mu Ziyan to explore the path of cultivation.
He also personally helped Mu Ziyan solidify her foundation.
He also meticulously taught the basic methods of guiding qi into the body from the "Hehuan Immortal Scripture".
He even thoughtfully copied it down for her.
This makes it convenient for her to take out her knowledge and insights whenever she wants.
Mu Ziyan was already intelligent, and with her spiritual root and the personal guidance of Qin Xiao, a Core Formation cultivator, her progress was incredibly rapid.
In just a few days, I was already able to vaguely sense spiritual energy.
I began to try to guide the faint spiritual energy into my body according to the method.
Although I'm not yet proficient.
However, he has already officially stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortality!
The maids and guards in the backyard still didn't know the origins of this suddenly appearing, extraordinary "Young Master Qin".
But she saw that her young lady was inseparable from him, her expression full of dependence and sweetness.
Meanwhile, the master tacitly approved of the matter.
I gradually got used to his presence.
Especially the head maid, Zhishu, had already cleverly changed her address.
When she sees Qin Xiao in private, she always smiles and respectfully calls him "son-in-law".
This form of address always made Mu Ziyan blush slightly, but she never objected.
She merely glanced at Qin Xiao shyly, which could be considered an admission of consent.
Just when everything was peaceful and serene inside the Ziyan Pavilion.
Inside the Prince of Jin's residence, however, the scene was quite different.
The atmosphere was gloomy and oppressive!
Since Qin Yuan was kicked away by Qin Xiao in Ziyan Pavilion that day and was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he has never woken up again.
In the past few days, all the famous doctors in Jinyang Prefecture have been summoned.
Various precious medicinal herbs were delivered to the Prince's residence like a flowing river...
The people in the Prince's mansion were filled with anxiety.
The strategist, Mr. Zhao, was so anxious that blisters appeared on his lips, but he was at a loss for what to do.
The only option is to send more people, while strictly controlling the flow of information to avoid causing greater unrest.
On the other hand, they continued to search for renowned doctors.
That afternoon.
An elderly physician with white hair and beard, whose ancestors were said to have been imperial physicians, was urgently summoned to the Prince of Jin's residence.
He carefully examined Qin Yuan's pulse and eyelids at his bedside, and inquired about the circumstances of his injury.
In the end, with a furrowed brow, he could only prescribe a few doses to strengthen the body and prolong life, before shaking his head and sighing as he left.
However, not long after the old doctor left.
Qin Yuan, lying on the bed, twitched his fingers a few times.
The personal attendant standing guard by the bedside was the first to notice, immediately rushing forward and anxiously whispering, "Your Highness? Your Highness, can you hear me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuan's eyelids trembled.
The guards immediately summoned Mr. Zhao and several other advisors from the mansion.
After being given another bowl of herbal soup, Qin Yuan finally woke up!
He suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.
His eyes were initially unfocused and confused.
They quickly focused their attention.
The humiliating scene before I lost consciousness flashed through my mind.
That masked figure, with a seemingly casual kick, utterly humiliated him!
"Uh, ah!"
Qin Yuan tried to speak, but the aggravation of the severe injury in his chest and abdomen caused him to experience intense pain.
In an instant, veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat soaked his temples!
Seeing this, Mr. Zhao quickly sat down by the bedside and urgently advised, "Your Highness, please calm down! Your injuries are extremely serious; if it aggravates your internal organs, it will be very troublesome!"
Qin Yuan's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with boundless rage and humiliation.
He wanted to speak, but with the slightest exertion, the excruciating pain contorted his face and left him drenched in cold sweat.
Mr. Zhao then hurriedly instructed his attendant, "Quickly! Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone! Write down whatever the prince wants to say!"
Soon, a small table was placed on Qin Yuan's bed.
The Xuan paper was spread out, and the ink was ground.
Qin Yuan shakily picked up the brush and dipped it in ink.
He scrawled a few large characters on the paper in a crooked hand: 【Ziyan Pavilion, that bastard, may he die a horrible death!!!】
The pen strokes almost pierced the paper, and the ink was dripping!
Mr. Zhao glanced at it and said with righteous indignation, "Your Highness, I understand your anger! I have been sending men to keep a close watch on Ziyan Pavilion day and night! That madman who injured you has been holed up inside the pavilion for the past few days and hasn't stepped out even once!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and stared intently at Mr. Zhao.
He opened his mouth, eagerly asking something, but this triggered a violent coughing fit.
Mr. Zhao understood immediately, knowing what the prince was most concerned about, and said confidently, "Your Highness, rest assured! I have investigated thoroughly, and nothing has happened between that fellow and Miss Mu! He just lives in the guest room in the front yard, absolutely nothing else!"
These words were spoken with absolute certainty.
In fact, the scouts reported that the mysterious man had clearly been living in the backyard all along and was definitely not an ordinary guest.
But he was well aware of Qin Yuan's obsession with Mu Ziyan.
If we tell the truth now, the prince's rage will likely cause our injuries to worsen immediately.
This white lie was to save the prince's life!
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan's tense nerves relaxed, but the ruthlessness in his eyes did not diminish.
With trembling hands, he picked up the pen again and wrote on the paper: [Identity verified?]
Mr. Zhao leaned closer for a closer look, then whispered, "Your Highness, his identity has not yet been determined, but he seems to be a wandering knight-errant."
A fierce glint flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes as he struggled to write: "Where is the Emperor?"
Mr. Zhao glanced at it and hurriedly replied, "According to the latest intelligence, His Majesty's procession is progressing slowly and is expected to arrive in Jinyang Prefecture in at least six or seven days. It will take at least ten days to reach the city of Jinyang Prefecture."
Qin Yuan took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and then wrote: [Summon the palace guards, offer generous rewards to recruit martial artists, and quickly eliminate the Ziyan Pavilion! I will make Mu Ziyan mine! This time, I will use force!]
Upon seeing the last three words, "by force," Mr. Zhao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly advised, "Your Highness, isn't this somewhat inappropriate? You have cultivated the reputation of 'Wise Prince' for many years. If you were to force yourself on Miss Mu, it would likely damage your reputation, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would also..."
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Yuan became agitated and coughed violently, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Mr. Zhao quickly patted Qin Yuan's back gently, "Your Highness, please don't be agitated, everything can be discussed!"
Qin Yuan raised his hand and pounded his chest twice, looking at Mr. Zhao, and forced out the words through gritted teeth: "What a load of rubbish, a wise and virtuous prince!!"
Immediately afterward, he grabbed Mr. Zhao's sleeve tightly, panting heavily, and said, "I want her... If I can't have her heart, I'll have her body! With the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's wealth, the dragon throne, the imperial throne... they'll all be mine!"
Looking at Qin Yuan, who seemed to have gone mad, Mr. Zhao forced a smile, knowing that further persuasion would be useless.
After a sigh, he nodded emphatically: "Yes, Your Highness, I understand! Rest assured, Your Highness, I will make all the necessary arrangements within three days to make that madman disappear and to bring Miss Mu back... so that Your Highness may have your wish fulfilled!"
Qin Yuan gritted his teeth and declared fiercely, "If three days isn't enough, then tomorrow at the latest, I will go myself!"
