Qi Zhenbai already had a guess in his heart. It was probably because he had recently been eating the spirit rice cooked by his wife every day. These days, Qi Zhenbai clearly felt the benefits of the spirit rice to the human body. No wonder after eating it for a month, the Zhou family’s grandmother made an unexpected recovery.
Qi Zhenbai feigned surprise. “What spiritual energy?”
Perfected Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. That was true. Even though Young Master Qi was surrounded by a purple and oppressive noble aura, he was still a mortal, after all. How would he know anything about spiritual energy?
This Young Master Qi must have stumbled upon some kind of opportunity. As expected of someone favored by the gods. Perfected Zhang didn’t think much of it. Although he was envious, he didn’t press the issue.
Grandpa Qi, who had seen much of the world, could vaguely guess what spiritual energy was. At that moment, Perfected Zhang didn’t keep him in suspense, and explained, “This spiritual energy is a gift from the heavens; it is the essence of heaven and earth, and of all things. In ancient times, flowers, grass, and wood which turned a thousand or ten thousand years old had spiritual energy, or only cultivators had it. I see that there is a very pure spiritual energy inside Young Master Qi which is very beneficial to the body. If the body is nourished by this spiritual energy for a long period of time, it can extend a person’s lifespan at the very least, while miraculous healing isn’t impossible in extreme cases! However, there is very little spiritual energy left in this world that is this pure. I think Young Master Qi is blessed with good fortune and will definitely survive his calamity at the age of thirty!”
After listening to Perfected Zhang, Grandpa Qi was very excited. He wasn’t curious about Zhenbai’s spiritual energy. After all, it was something too intangible for a mortal like him. As long as the child was healthy, it was fine.
It had to be said that this grandson’s health had always been a sore point in his life. This child was born with a purple aura all over his body. Grandpa Qi knew that this child would be extraordinary in life, but later on, this child suffered from serious illnesses and minor ailments. Later, he hired someone to read Zhenbai’s fortune, and was told that the child would have been destined to be an emperor if he lived in troubled times. Unfortunately, he was born in the modern era, and this fate was too heavy to bear. Even the Qi family’s century-old history couldn’t suppress his fate, so he would probably die early.
It was only later when the child’s cold illness acted up that Grandpa Qi had to acknowledge the Celestial Master’s words. He had always been worried that the child would die early.
So, when he heard Perfected Zhang say that Zhenbai was getting better, Grandpa Qi was very happy.
Perfected Zhang wrote a new prescription and told the Qi family patriarch to gather the required ingredients to prepare a medicinal bath for Zhenbai.
Only then did Grandpa Qi heave a sigh of relief, and he personally sent Perfected Zhang out.
Qi Zhenbai followed him to see Perfected Zhang off. Next to Perfected Zhang, Li Sangyu never took her eyes off Qi Zhenbai.
Qi Zhenbai was expressionless.
Grandpa Qi wasn’t surprised. To be honest, if he hadn’t found out that his grandson already had a partner, he would have asked Zhenbai to consider Perfected Zhang’s disciple. Of course, he didn’t really care about Perfected Zhang’s disciple or about other benefits; he just felt that if Zhenbai was connected to Perfected Zhang’s disciple in this way, Perfected Zhang would definitely do his best to treat Zhenbai’s condition.
But since his grandson had a girlfriend, the Qi family patriarch didn’t want to force the child. The two of them would be spending the rest of their lives together, after all, so the most important in his opinion was that his grandson liked her.
After sending Perfected Zhang off, the Qi family patriarch didn’t forget to speak up for Qi Hao, that rascal. “Zhenbai, don’t take issue with that child, Haozi. He specially brought back half a bag of rice today. However, that rice really does taste good!”
Since the Qi family patriarch had spoken, Qi Zhenbai naturally acquiesced. In any case, he had already beaten up the kid, who was his younger cousin, after all. What else could he do? “I understand, Grandpa! But, Grandpa, that rice is extraordinary. Eat more yourself, and don’t give it away!”
Grandpa Qi didn’t think much about it. When he returned to the study, he accidentally saw the rice test report. For some reason, he thought of what Perfected Zhang had said after taking Zhenbai’s pulse and what Zhenbai had said before he left. Grandpa Qi had a vague guess in his heart, and his face changed drastically. He shouted, “Where’s Zhenbai? And Qi Hao, get him in here first!”
