ld patriarch sneered, "You say you won't let me in Do you even have me, your stepfather, in your eyes!"He roared with anger, causing Mu shi to tremble. She forced herself to speak despite her fear."I,...The defenses of Bai Cui Yuan were like an ironclad fortress, with no weak points. Zhao Xingzhou and Fu Ming tried every possible way to break in, but to no avail.
On the high walls of the vast garden, as soon as anyone attempts to cross the security line, a group after another of powerful martial arts fighters will emerge from the shadows.
Fu Ming had also thought, with a garden this large and walls this long, surely the defenses wouldn't be so tight everywhere.
After a day and night of struggle, Zhao Xingzhou was exhausted, his body covered with several wounds.
Fu Ming, protected by Shen Li, remained unharmed but grew increasingly resentful.
"What in the world is this place!"
The defense was just as strict as the palace walls.
Three of them wouldn't be able to break through on their own.
Su Yusheng didn't join them in being foolish. Baipu Garden had existed in Muyu for so many years, if it were that easy for people to break into, it wouldn't have such a mysterious reputation today.
He went back to the Su residence, asking around for Gu Liusheng's whereabouts. He hoped he could find another way to enter through the main gate openly.
The day after the detoxification, Fang Jinshu made two pills that could strengthen one's foundation and cultivate their元 spirit. The detoxification process was not pleasant.
The sleeping beauty lying in bed had been eroded by toxins for five years. She was worried that when the antidote was finally administered, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it. So she prepared these two good things for him to take first.
Gu Liu Sheng suspiciously stopped by the bed, his gaze falling on the two pills in her hand, seeming very unconvinced.
Fan Jinshu laughed angrily, "What, are you afraid I'll poison him"
"These two pills in my hand are something you can't buy even with all the money in the world."
To refine these two Foundation-Building Pills, she wasted almost half a pool of spiritual spring water. If it weren't for the sight of the medicine materials filling the whole room and three mu of land, she wouldn't be so generous.
"Is this medicine truly harmless to his body" Gu Liusheng asked hesitantly.
He also knew that to employ someone without suspicion, Fang Jinshu's medical skills had also been tested by him repeatedly. Since he brought her here, he should not doubt her abilities any longer.
However, Gu Liusheng had already developed the habit of protecting this person.
His body could no longer withstand even the slightest injury.
"Alright, these two pills were originally meant to ease his pain during tomorrow's detoxification. Since Mr. Gu is so concerned, I won't take them."
She also saved two good medicines to help Ah Yu's health.
Fang Jinshu walked straight to Zong Yu's side and picked up a candy, offering it to his mouth.
"If others don't appreciate it, then we'll just eat it ourselves."
"Come, A Yu, have some nourishment."
Zongyu smiled and opened his mouth, swallowing the pill without hesitation.
Gu Liu Sheng stared at them intently, waiting for a long while. He didn't see any signs of Zong Yu reacting to the situation. Instead, after swallowing the pill, even the fatigue from days without proper rest miraculously disappeared.
"Good medicine," Zongyu said, somewhat surprised.
After swallowing the pill, he felt a slight warmth throughout his body. Jinxiu hadn't returned to her room these past few days, so Zongyu had been guarding outside her medicine cabinet, feeling rather tired.
But now all those feelings have disappeared, and my whole body feels as if it is filled with inexhaustible energy.
Zong Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked up another pill and held it to his daughter-in-law's mouth.
"You eat too."
Such good things shouldn't be cheapened for others.
Fang Jinxiu smiled and opened her mouth, just as her lips were about to touch the pill, Gu Liusheng suddenly rushed over and took the pill from Zong Yu's hand.
The two of them turned their heads, looking at him in surprise.
"What does Boss Gu mean by this again"
Gu Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just now I was momentarily confused. I certainly believe in Zong's medical skills. Since you say this medicine can help him alleviate the pain of detoxification, of course I have to let him take it."
Fang Jinshu secretly smiled, and didn't try to fight back.
Gu Liusheng carefully fed the pills down, sitting by the bedside and watching for a while. The sleeping beauty's originally pale lips had actually recovered a bit of color. Although he was in a deep sleep, he had been tormented by toxins for years, his brow always slightly furrowed. Now, it had relaxed.
Gu Liusheng was overjoyed, "It actually worked!"
He became interested in the pill and turned to Fang Jinshu.
"Madam Zong, do you have more of this medicine I'm willing to pay a hefty sum for it."
Fang Jinshi thought about the complicated process of refining those two Solid Foundation and Nourishing Yuan Dan. Making money was certainly important, but it was too much trouble.
"This medicine is difficult to refine, and currently there are only these two."
Gu Liusheng heard Fang Jinxiu's reluctance and still persisted.
"If Zong's daughter refines this medicine again in the future and wants to sell it, please feel welcome to come find me at any time."
Fan Jinshi hurriedly nodded with a smile, “Very good, very good.”
This laughter sounded exactly like the kind you'd hear at a dinner table when someone is politely refusing a business partner's request to increase production. It was all about social graces and avoiding conflict.yue, "Xiaoyue, go get the things I prepared for Seventh Prince."Yes, madam.Fang Jinshu turned to Mu Shi and said, "Mother, I'm really fine. Don't worry.""Time is of the essence now, I have several imp...
