Chapter 24 Spirit Awareness Pill and Storage Ring
Zhu Wanyu noticed that Xiao Yun did not respond to her question, but instead was staring at the jade pendant beneath her neck. She smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong? Do you feel something is off about this jade pendant?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Xiao Yun replied, snapping out of his thoughts.
It was getting late, and Xiao Yun took out his Writing Tools from his bag, pulling out a Miniature Oven, preparing to treat her joint issues.
Zhu Wanyu and Fang Xiaolu looked on with great curiosity at Xiao Yun's actions.
Fortunately, the injury at Zhu Wanyu's knee joint was much better than that of Liu Ziyan. It was only a result of poisoned blood, and he just needed to use a piece of her nail as a catalyst.
Using scissors, Xiao Yun took a piece of her nail, dried it, ground it into powder, placed it on the inkstone, mixed it with cinnabar, and ground it into ink. He then swiftly drew a diagram of the joints on Xuan Paper.
He asked Fang Xiaolu to roll up Zhu Wanyu's pant leg, exposing her pair of fair legs that looked like jade. He then sat on the edge of the bed and placed the drawing over her knee joint. Closing his eyes slightly, he circulated his internal energy and focused it into the palms of his hands, gently massaging her knees.
After massaging back and forth for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yun lifted the Xuan Paper, revealing that the diagram had disappeared but a mass of dark blood remained on it.
Xiao Yun let out a gentle breath and said, "Auntie, try getting up and walking a couple of steps!"
Duan Qingxue and Fang Xiaolu helped Zhu Wanyu get off the bed. As she walked two steps on her own, she found it strange; not only had the pain completely vanished, but her legs also felt particularly light.
Uh—could it be that I have truly encountered a miraculous doctor?
Zhu Wanyu was overjoyed. She grabbed Xiao Yun's hand and said, "Thank you, Xiao Yun. I really don't know how to express my gratitude; my joints are truly better!"
However, Xiao Yun's face appeared slightly pale. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled faintly, saying, "Auntie, Xiao Lu and Qingxue are classmates; we are all friends, so there's no need for thanks."
Zhu Wanyu looked at his exhausted face and asked with concern, "What happened to you?"
Xiao Yun was momentarily at a loss for how to explain. How could others know that every time he treated someone with Bone Painting, he had to expend a significant amount of his True Qi? Today, he had treated two people in a row, which, according to The Thirty-Six Techniques of Bone Painting, was already beyond the limit for an ordinary person.
Although Xiao Yun possessed extraordinary skills, at most he was still just an ordinary person; he could not bear the loss of more True Qi.
At one point, Duan Qingxue had suggested that he rent a storefront and open a Bone Painting Studio specifically for treating people. He had certainly considered it. However, with his current abilities, he could not handle multiple clients in a single day.
Seeing Zhu Wanyu and the others looking at him with questioning eyes, Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing, Auntie. I'm just feeling a bit tired!"
"You've worked hard!" Zhu Wanyu gave him a knowing look and nodded. "Although you didn't answer whether you come from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, I believe you are definitely not an ordinary person. How about this: since you've cured my leg joints, I have no way to repay you, so I'll give you two items that I believe you'll like!"
She bent down and dragged out a large box from under the bed. Opening it, she took out a brocade box and then opened it to reveal a jade ring and a red pill.
"Ah, this is a Storage Ring and a Spirit Awareness Pill?" Xiao Yun recognized the items in the box immediately with his intelligence.
These two rare treasures were worth their weight in gold; how could Zhu Wanyu possess such items?
With the Storage Ring, the greatest convenience is being able to store anything inside it, so there's no need to carry a bag when going out. The Spirit Awareness Pill, when consumed, allows one to see through walls and scan objects several kilometers away; if cultivated well, one could even spot an ant clearly from over ten kilometers away.
Such precious items, how could Zhu Wanyu be willing to give them to him?
To others, these two items might seem unremarkable, even worthless, but Xiao Yun deeply understood their value.
As he pondered this, Zhu Wanyu smiled and said, "Xiao Yun is indeed not an ordinary person; you recognized these two items at a glance."
She extended her hand and passed the brocade box to Xiao Yun, adding, "From now on, these two items belong to you!"
Xiao Yun could hardly believe what was happening; she truly gave him these two items. He knew that for those who practiced martial arts and cultivation, everyone would fight over such treasures. He carefully accepted the brocade box from Zhu Wanyu's hands.
Standing aside, Duan Qingxue didn't know what the Storage Ring and Spirit Awareness Pill were truly used for, but she could tell from Xiao Yun's expression just how valuable these items were. She couldn't help but feel puzzled—why would Aunt Zhu give such precious things to Xiao Yun? Was it merely gratitude for healing her leg joints?
She even speculated whether Zhu Wanyu had ulterior motives, wanting to use these treasures to win Xiao Yun's heart and marry her daughter off to him.
Thinking this way made Duan Qingxue feel a twinge of jealousy in her heart.
Facing these rare treasures, Xiao Yun naturally didn't want to be polite anymore, so he placed the brocade box into the bag he had brought. Yet he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Auntie, how did you obtain the Storage Ring and Spirit Awareness Pill?"
