The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

“Who was that young man?” Somehow, Qin Muyao felt that the youth gave off a very weird aura.

“My lovely little wife.” Ji Fengyan grinned.

The corners of Qin Muyao’s mouth twitched. After bidding Ji Fengyan farewell, he left the Tushita Palace.

Qin Muyao was the Tushita Palace’s first customer and a huge spender at that. Yichen was still somewhat nervous even after Qin Muyao left. Ji Fengyan exchanged some words with him before leaving with Liu Huo in tow.

In the following period, Ji Fengyan left the residence less and less often. Liu Ruse’s health had improved greatly. Just a few more days of bed rest and she would return to her normal self. With fewer trips to visit Liu Ruse, Ji Fengyan devoted an increasing amount of time guiding Linghe and the rest in their cultivation.

Linghe and company were still beginners in the art of cultivation, but Ji Fengyan was in no hurry.

The beginning part of an immortal cultivator’s practice was always the slowest. Moreover, starting cultivation only at Linghe and company’s relatively advanced age, it was an incredibly arduous process. If not for her elixirs, it would probably be impossible to see any results.

Nevertheless...

Ji Fengyan was not in a rush. Using the free time before she had to head off to the institute, she jotted down the key concepts of cultivation for Linghe and the others to study. She also pointed out to them the crucial aspects of the practice.

The days went by and the time for Ji Fengyan to enter the capital institute drew nearer and nearer.

Linghe and the rest only recently found out that Ji Fengyan needed to enroll in the institute. At that instant, they all looked like they couldn’t bear for Ji Fengyan to leave. In order to ensure the safety of Linghe and company while she was gone, she specially left Yang Jian and Xiao Tianquan behind.

Everyone in the Ji family knew that Ji Fengyan was heading to the capital institute. Their spirits were lifted, just waiting for her to leave so that they could regain control of the residence.

But...

The moment they saw the towering Yang Jian sitting steadfastly in Ji Fengyan’s yard, their raging spirits were immediately dampened.

During the last two days of preparation, Ji Fengyan made her final arrangements and packed her things, ready to head off to the capital institute.

Hearing news of Ji Fengyan’s departure to the capital institute, Fourth Princess had ran crying to her. Fourth Princess offered to plead with the Emperor to let Ji Fengyan stay with her, so that she wouldn’t have to suffer the future hardships of war.

However...

Thinking of the Emperor’s sanctimonious manner, Ji Fengyan rejected Fourth Princess’s kind intentions, triggering another round of crying.

Eventually, Ji Fengyan still left. She only brought along Liu Huo, Bai Ze and little bat. Carrying her own luggage, she boarded the horse carriage arranged by the dark guard and started off in the direction of the capital institute.

The capital institute was the most prestigious institute in the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Not just anyone was accepted. Students who were selected either held high social statuses or extraordinary talents. All graduates from that institute ended up as the pillars of the capital’s society.

Enrollment into the capital institute was opened in August every year. The institute was situated upon the eastern side of the Kingdom, along the Demon Seal mountain range. Sitting high above ground, it was erected in an excellent location. The Demon Seal mountain range formed the boundary between the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon and the rest of the nations. Half of the boundary belonged to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, while the other half was spread out among the other countries without differentiation.

A long, long time ago, even before the founding of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, there was a major battle at the Demon Seal mountain range. Legend had it that this battle was exceedingly fierce and brutal, the resulting mound of corpses were all buried in that deep ravine.
