When the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill fell into her palm, Gu Jin noticed its faint white glow was slowly fading until it was no longer visible.
The three small elixirs looked almost indistinguishable from ordinary pills.
But Gu Jin could sense that the elixirs contained a trace of Spiritual Energy.
She picked up three small boxes from the table, which were specifically used for holding elixirs.
Putting the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill into a wooden box, she placed it on the table in the Alchemy Room, and Gu Jin turned to leave the space.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to stay longer and study further, but her body couldn’t hold up.
When she was retrieving her Spiritual Power after forming the pill, it was ultimately a step too late to stop, and all the energy in her body was devoured. That was her last remaining bit of Spiritual Power.
Returning to her room, Gu Jin didn’t even take off her clothes; she lay on the bed and closed her eyes deeply, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
While she was in slumber, her body was recovering at a slow pace.
Lying on the spacious bed, even with a light blanket covering her, wisps of Spiritual Energy still surrounded her.
...
The next day, Gu Jin woke up a bit late.
She got up in a hurry, rushed out to the living room, and was about to make breakfast in the kitchen without washing up.
Only to see a young boy, freshly washed and looking refreshed, sitting at the dining table holding a cup of milk, drinking with a half-eaten bun in his hand.
"Sister Jin, you’re up."
The boy put down his milk cup and smiled as he greeted her.
Seeing that he was already having breakfast, Gu Jin’s initial anxiety instantly vanished.
She leaned against the kitchen door, looked at the boy with a slight smile at the corner of her lips, and asked, "Did you buy the buns from downstairs?"
"Yeah, there were quite a few people in line."
The boy brought the last bite of the bun to his mouth and got up to retrieve the ward milk from the pot.
"Sister Jin, you’re going to be late, wash your face and have breakfast first."
Urged by the child she was raising, Gu Jin turned and left.
After washing up, she changed into her school uniform, grabbed her backpack, and left the room for breakfast.
When she thought of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill in the space, her steps paused.
Since the elixir was successfully refined, the next step was to conduct the experint.
Her chosen target was Old Man Yu, simply because he had cultivated before, and his constitution was not suitable for cultivation.
Gu Jin took out her phone from her backpack, found Yu Qingli’s number in her contacts, and pressed the call button without hesitation.
She didn’t have to wait long before the call was answered.
"Miss Gu."
Yu Qingli’s gentle voice ca through the phone.
Holding her phone, Gu Jin glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing she didn’t have much ti.
So she wasted no words, getting straight to the point: "Mr. Yu, I have a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill here, and I’d like for Old Yu to try it. Please ask his opinion, if he’s interested, I’ll bring the elixir over this afternoon after school."
Yu Qingli, who was sitting in his dining room having breakfast, received Gu Jin’s call with a bit of cheerfulness.
But the straightforward words from the other end left Yu Qingli sowhat stunned.
However, being a leader, within a few seconds, he relayed Gu Jin’s words to his father, who was sitting at the head of the dining table.
"Bang!"
Old Man Yu’s face turned flush with excitent upon hearing his son’s words, even dropping his spoon into the bowl.
"Yes! Yes! When is Miss Gu coming? I’ll personally go to receive her!"
The biggest regret in the old man’s life was knowing the way to cultivate, yet always being unable to step into it.
This was a regret that had haunted him for decades.
