The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

38. The Jade Pendant Issue

Su Kexin borrowed another book from the library, “The Foundation of Healing,” and followed its teachings to cultivate. After a period of practice, she successfully nurtured her damaged spiritual veins and then practiced “The Yin-Yang Art,” which indeed had a remarkable effect, allowing her to balance and control the yin and yang energies within her blood.

“Indeed, senior brother is learned and talented. The foundation of the spiritual veins is essential, and ‘The Foundation of Healing’ technique really solved my problem.”

While thinking of Lin Nuo’s face, Su Kexin couldn’t help but giggle foolishly, although she wasn’t certain that it was truly Lin Nuo who had hinted at her; it had always been her and Zhao Yueqing’s speculation.

Regardless, she was aware of her own deficiencies, and senior brother had played a significant role. She was truly grateful to him.

“Right, the medicine should be ready by now; I need to find the physician.”

Su Kexin finished her qi cultivation, adjusted her posture, got off the bed, tidied up the three secret manuals, and groomed herself.

Lately, she had been paying special attention to her appearance and behavior, especially when there was a chance of encountering Lin Nuo. She made sure to dress up carefully before leaving the house.

Although she was naturally beautiful, with fair and smooth skin, she still sought advice from Zhao Yueqing on skincare and even sent someone to town to buy some spiritual ointments and moisturizing lotions.

Of course, in addition to her outward appearance, she also focused on improving her strength. After all, she couldn’t just be a pretty face; entering the Xuan Yun Sect was mainly for cultivation, and only with increased strength could she confidently approach senior brother.

Su Kexin went to the pharmacy, a small hut filled with the strong scent of herbs, where an elderly pharmacist was in charge of concocting various medicinal herbs.

“Master Guo.”

The door was not closed, and Su Kexin knocked gently.

The old pharmacist turned around, saw Su Kexin coming, and greeted her with a kind smile.

“Kexin, you’re here. Have a seat, I’ll pour you some tea.”

“There’s no need for formalities, Master Guo. I’ve finished all my medicine. After the treatment, I feel that the positive spiritual energy inside me has been completely neutralized. I’ve come to ask Master Guo what I should do next to nurture my body?”

“Child, the positive spiritual energy in your body is too strong; you need to drink long-term brewed medicine. It’s not possible to neutralize it completely now.”

The old physician chuckled, “Come, let me check your qi again to get an idea of the positive spiritual energy inside you.”

The kind old physician led Su Kexin to the qi vessel, which had handprints on it. Following the old physician’s instructions, Su Kexin placed her hands on the handprints of the qi vessel.

Circulating her qi, the inner energy flowed within the vessel, emitting a faint spiritual light.

After a long while, the state of the inner energy appeared on the qi vessel, and the old physician observed it, greatly surprised.

“This… shouldn’t be…”

“Master Guo, what’s happened? I haven’t run into any trouble again, have I?”

Su Kexin listened, feeling somewhat scared, as recent tests had all brought bad news.

“It’s not that, child. It’s good news, but it doesn’t quite make sense. Your excessive positive spiritual energy has been almost completely neutralized, and now the balance of yin and yang in your blood is just right. It shouldn’t have happened so quickly.”

Master Guo, the old physician with decades of medical experience, had encountered cases of excessive positive spiritual energy before. They were usually neutralized with yin-cold herbs, and the balance of yin and yang energies couldn’t be rushed; it had to be gradual and required a long time to harmonize.

But Su Kexin’s progress was beyond his expectations, too rapid.

“Child, you haven’t taken any other medicine recently, have you?”

“No, I’ve only been taking the medicine you prescribed, Master Guo.”

“Has someone been using a cultivation technique to neutralize the yin and yang energies in your blood?”

“I haven’t,” Su Kexin shook her head, “though I have practiced some techniques, ‘Foundation Healing’ and ‘Yin-Yang Formula.'”

“Those two techniques shouldn’t cause it.”

The old physician stroked his long beard, deep in thought. What could be the reason?

If the robust spirit of righteousness was neutralized in a short period, it must correspond to a yin-cold energy.

But there’s no such yin-cold environment in Tianling Mountain.

If it was brought back from outside…

“Child, do you have any jade pendants or bracelets that can contain spiritual energy? May I see them?”

“I have a spirit-containing jade pendant.”

Su Kexin took out the translucent jade pendant and handed it to the old physician.

The old physician carefully examined the pendant and noticed a faint weakness in the vibrant green hue at one spot.

Under normal circumstances, he would have thought nothing of it, but given Su Kexin’s excessive righteous spirit energy, it would surely affect the pendant. The green hue of the jade should be absolutely bright, yet there was some darkness, which was unreasonable.

“Child, may I borrow this for a moment?”

“Mhm, alright.”

The old physician took Su Kexin’s jade pendant, placed it on the edge of a turntable, and spun it around a central crystal ball.

As the turntable’s speed increased, it soon came to a stop, and the crystal ball’s surface seemed to be covered with a layer of faint dust.

“So that’s it.”

Looking at the dust on the surface, the old physician reached a conclusion.

“Master Guo, what is this…?”

Su Kexin listened, puzzled, feeling it was all very mystical.

The old physician turned around, speaking gravely, “This pendant contains demonic energy.”
