Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 252 Cleansing Meridian Pill

Gu Ping was left alone in the room, quietly half-lying on the bed.

Gu Ping carefully considered every word Su Yue had just said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what she said made perfect sense.

So, once he was sure Su Yue had gone far away, he immediately lay back down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and pretended to be sick and bedridden.

After all, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if those two servants are actually wicked women?

If someone intends to harm another, there's no way to prevent it.

When Su Yue stepped into the courtyard, it was exactly noon.

Sunlight filters through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows and adding warmth and vitality to the entire courtyard.

At this moment, Chunhua and Qiushi had already served the food, and the aroma was irresistible.

However, feeling somewhat tired, Su Yue only ate a few bites of food before losing her appetite.

She gently put down her chopsticks and rubbed her temples, feeling an indescribable fatigue still emanating from her body.

So she summoned Dali and asked her to move the chaise longue under the newly erected grape trellis.

The grapevines climb and twist, their leaves lush and green, dappled with sunlight.

Su Yue lay down, feeling the gentle sunlight falling on her body, bringing a touch of warmth.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of hair from her forehead. She squinted slightly, and in this atmosphere, drowsiness gradually crept in. Unconsciously, she closed her eyes and entered a light sleep.

Meanwhile, inside the Gu residence, a completely different scene unfolded. The household was in disarray, with servants hurrying about, seemingly enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

Lord Gu was extremely anxious about Gu Chuan and Gu Yu, so much so that his lips were covered in blisters.

Despite having skilled imperial physicians brought in from the palace, they were helpless in the face of the Marquis's illness and could only shake their heads and sigh.

Jiang Ying was extremely anxious and sent people again to invite her brother, Jiang Chengkun, to come.

Before long, Jiang Chengkun arrived in a hurry. Before he could even stand still, Jiang Ying couldn't wait to start complaining.

“Brother, Chuan’er has clearly taken the pill you gave him, but his condition has not improved; on the contrary, he has a persistent high fever!”

What exactly happened? What should we do now?

You should think carefully again to see if there are any other feasible methods. If there really is no other way, why don't you go and ask the Imperial Advisor for help yourself?

We can't just stand by and watch Chuan'er suffer like this forever!

"It's all your fault for giving me that pill; otherwise, Chuan'er's illness wouldn't have gotten so serious!"

Faced with his sister's accusations and complaints, Jiang Chengkun was equally anxious, but he firmly believed that the pill he had obtained was absolutely genuine.

Back then, he spent a full three thousand taels of gold to obtain this pill, almost emptying his entire fortune!

If it weren't for the fact that they were fellow disciples, and that he usually fawned over the alchemist, he would never have had the chance to buy such precious pills.

Moreover, he personally witnessed the entire refining process when that pill was first produced.

That entire batch of pills only produced three pills in total.

The senior brother in charge of alchemy could only produce one batch of such high-quality pills per year at most.

It should be noted that within the entire Imperial Preceptor's Hall, there are only three individuals possessing the ability to refine pills.

One of them was the alchemist, and the other was his master.

The other one is the Grand Preceptor, but the pills he concocts are never taken out; they are always supplied to His Majesty.

Unfortunately, many years ago, that master passed away in an accident while traveling.

Therefore, nowadays, the only person in the entire Imperial Preceptor Hall who can refine such rare elixirs is the one right in front of us.

It should be noted that all the medicinal materials used in this Cleansing Pulse Pill are rare and precious items.

Even if the entire Imperial Preceptor Hall put in all its efforts and spent two whole years, it would only be able to barely gather one copy!

This shows that the Cleansing Meridian Pill is truly a rare and hard-to-find medicine!

Once word gets out that someone possesses the Cleansing Meridian Pill, it will inevitably attract countless greedy people to fight over it.

These people were willing to risk their lives to forcibly seize this invaluable elixir.

For this reason, when the medicine was delivered that day, Jiang Chengkun specially dispatched his closest and most trusted confidant to escort it.

In his view, this trusted confidant would never betray him.

At this moment, Jiang Chengkun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot as he hurriedly rushed to Gu Chuan's bedside.

When he saw Gu Chuan's weak and flushed face, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"This medicine can't possibly be fake. Let me check it out first," Jiang Chengkun muttered to himself, then turned to leave.

However, at this moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stopped and turned to the crowd, saying, "I will go and beg that senior brother one more time to see if he has any other pills that can save Chuan'er."

"Wait for my news." After saying that, Jiang Chengkun hurriedly left the room without looking back.

This Cleansing Pulse Pill was originally intended for Gu Chuan to take when he entered the Imperial Academy two months later.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, and who could have predicted such an unexpected turn of events?

It has long been rumored that this miraculous elixir has the power to bring the dead back to life. Even those who are on the verge of death and barely clinging to life can regain their vitality after taking this elixir.

Gu Chuan only suffered a minor leg injury. Logically speaking, the Cleansing Meridian Pill should have been able to cure him completely and restore him to his original state quickly!

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and it lost its intended effect at this moment.

If this Cleansing Pulse Pill is taken under normal circumstances, its effects are simply miraculous.

It can not only help users cleanse their marrow and meridians, thus achieving a complete transformation.

Importantly, even ordinary people who have never had any cultivation experience will become as powerful as the Grand Preceptor after taking this pill.

It's a pity that he was already quite old and missed the best time to take the medication.

Otherwise, it would probably be Gu Chuan's turn to find this pill.

But what's the use of thinking about all this now? It's all too late. Jiang Chengkun felt heartbroken.

As soon as Su Yue opened her eyes, she saw Dali running excitedly from outside the door.

Tian was jumping around, his face beaming with joy.
