Chapter 868: [(676)] Ninth Rank Great Tonic (Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscription) Chapter 868: [(676)] Ninth Rank Great Tonic (Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscription) The town within.


    Upon entering, one beheld a spacious courtyard with green bricks and red tiles.


    The yard was an oasis of calm in the midst of chaos, even more expensive than Xu Wanxiao’s sixty-million-valued villa. This was made possible only because she was the second daughter of the God Weeping Group’s wealthy family.


    In the evening, Ji Yuyan called to invite Pei Jinye to a private party being held that night.


    Since Ji Yuyan seldom played hostess and had coaxed him over the phone for a good while, Pei Jinye could only agree; otherwise, who knows how long that girl would’ve nagged him.


    Upon arrival at the gate, the housekeeper was already waiting early.


    “Mr. Pei, my young miss had instructed me to wait for you here.”


    “I’ve kept you waiting,” Pei Jinye nodded.


    The housekeeper was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, with meticulously combed hair, who said with a smile, “It’s no trouble, Mr. Pei, please, this way.”


    Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, they entered through the gate, where a sightseeing cart awaited.


    “Mr. Pei, please.”


    The driver was a different person, a young man who also respectfully addressed him as Mr. Pei.


    As the cart started, they passed through the garden’s paths.


    A verdant greenery enveloped the area, a tranquil and serene atmosphere permeating, full of fresh calmness.


    Pavilions and terraces with green glazed tiles were an important component of the gardens.


    Not far off, the glazed tiles behind the trees hinted at a delicate luster.


    Two words came to Pei Jinye’s mind: Wealthy!


    After driving for a few minutes, they finally saw Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue busily moving about in a pavilion set within a rockery garden.


    Even from ten meters away, the scent of medicinal herbs could be detected.


    The two ladies were fiddling with some bottles and jars, cooking something unknown, but the fragrance was somewhat refreshing, rejuvenating both mind and body.


    “What are you cooking?”


    Upon hearing Pei Jinye’s voice, Ji Yuyan looked up and immediately smiled, “You’ve arrived, please sit, please sit. I’ve just developed a new Medicinal Soup for invigorating the mind, you should try it later.”


    “…”


    Pei Jinye fell silent.


    It was a silence that seemed deafening.


    Murong Xiyue laughed with a “pfft”, “She’s just teasing you, this is an invigorating Medicinal Soup we exchanged from the school.”


    When Pei Jinye looked at Ji Yuyan again after hearing this, Ji Yuyan made a funny face at him.


    Pei Jinye shook his head, a bit helpless.


    It was now entering July, and the weather was slightly hotter. Murong Xiyue was wearing a pale-yellow long dress, her hair tied in a ponytail.


    Whereas Ji Yuyan was dressed in casual attire with her hair coiled into two buns, giving her a somewhat mischievous appearance.


    Pei Jinye made himself at home and moved closer to have a look.


    A pile of white medicinal jars.


    He took a sniff, somewhat surprised, “Is this Spiritual Medicine?”


    “Right, the Spiritual Medicines produced by the school are indeed powerful,” Ji Yuyan remarked, “It’s just that they are somewhat pricey.”


    “We’ve used up all our Academic Credits,” Murong Xiyue said with a smile. Despite using them up, there was no complaining from anyone.


    It was just the way of going all out to support a close friend.


    Of course, for these two women, such expenses were hardly anything at all.


    “This seems like a fair amount,” commented Pei Jinye after counting, at least a dozen jars.


    Their current Academic Credits were no more than thirty, so managing to buy so many seemed quite nice.


    But Ji Yuyan immediately grew excited, “This is hardly enough!”


    She pointed with her hand.


    “This! And this here! Only these three jars were bought, the rest I… took from home!”


    “…”


    Pei Jinye twitched the corner of his mouth.


    Good lord.


    Rich women… two rich women…


    “Good things are meant to be shared. It’s not that I didn’t want to invite Liu Limin and the others, it’s just that these Spiritual Medicines primarily enhance spiritual power, and their spiritual power is still too weak. It’s different with you,” said Ji Yuyan, picking up a fan and starting to fan the pottery jars, her face glowing red from the heat of the fire.


    Pei Jinye looked up, catching Murong Xiyue’s eye and smiled, “You should have said something earlier. I still have some Academic Credits.”


    “It’s all right,” Ji Yuyan didn’t dwell much on the issue of Academic Credits.


    She seemed to understand some things, too.


    There were indeed things they could be reckless about, but flaunting wealth wasn’t her intention.


    “Maybe reduce the heat a bit,” Pei Jinye suddenly spoke up.


    Ji Yuyan was startled.


    Pei Jinye had already taken the fan from her hands.


    “I’ve learned a bit about pharmacology before, I know a bit.”


    Seeing this, Ji Yuyan’s eyes lit up, “You actually know this stuff!”


    Delighted, she immediately started assisting, along with Murong Xiyue.


    “You even have blood from a Fierce Beast? You’re really willing to spare it, but this pot of Medicinal Soup is mainly for nourishment. Your beast’s blood is too fierce, the two Medicines might clash and impact the effect…”


    “This is from a Ninth Rank Fierce Beast; I thought it would consolidate…” Ji Yuyan stuck out her tongue.


    She figured since she was already taking from home… might as well take more.


    Ninth Rank Ferocious Beast Blood was a must!


    Pei Jinye chuckled, “Don’t worry since it’s all brought here, let me concoct some vitality-boosting preparation for you. This beast’s blood is the essence of the heart, where the purest energy lies.”


    “How does it compare to Ferocious Beast Meat?” Ji Yuyan asked curiously.


    “Ten times stronger,” Pei Jinye continued fanning, controlling the heat, preserving the essence of the Medicinal Soup.


    From then on.


    Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue had nothing to do but watch curiously from the side.


    Before long.


    Pei Jinye turned off the heat and set the finished porcelain jars aside.


    Then, taking the Fierce Beast Blood, he assessed it, “We don’t need this much.”


    “No issue, we have plenty of people, go ahead and use it,” Ji Yuyan said from the side.


    Pei Jinye looked over curiously, “How many people did you invite?”


    “About twenty or so people in total.”


    Pei Jinye turned to look at the Medicinal Soup upon hearing this, “Then this definitely isn’t enough.”


    “This is just for the few of us.”


    “…”


    Pei Jinye had nothing to say about the wasteful extravagance of this wealthy lady.


    “How long will it take?”


    “It needs refining first; at a minimum, one hour.”


    “Ah, that long…”


    Ji Yuyan hesitated a bit.


    She had invited Pei Jinye over to enjoy himself, not to work him to the bone.


    After Pei Jinye had placed the ingredients into the new porcelain pot, he said, “Just arrange for someone to keep watch over it, maintain the fire and let it simmer for an hour.”


    Ji Yuyan finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief.


    After arranging for someone to take over,


    Ji Yuyan, accompanied by Pei Jinye and Murong Xiyue, started to enjoy the Medicinal Soup. That’s when Ji Wutian arrived fashionably late.


    “What is that smell? It’s so good!”


    “It’s the medicine I personally put in. Want a drink?” Ji Yuyan glanced over sideways.


    Ji Wutian immediately retracted his hand, “You didn’t poison it, did you?”


    Ji Yuyan instantly became furious.


    Ji Wutian smirked slyly, “If Old Pei dares to drink it, then it must be fine.”


    He then took a cup from above,


    and downed it in one gulp.


    “Holy shit, it’s so hot!!!”


    Ji Yuyan’s face was full of disdain.


    After some idle chatter,


    Ji Wutian pulled Ji Yuyan aside to a private spot.


    Hearing she had ‘procured’ stuff from home, his gesture of picking up the cup became stiff.


    “Aren’t you afraid of getting picked up by your family?”


    “Didn’t you also drink it?”


    “Fuck, you’re so ruthless.”


    Ji Wutian wished he could vomit it out right then; his face genuinely changed color, “I can’t handle this storm! Ji Yuyan, I’m not joking with you, your dad is the chairman of the God Weeping Group, my old man isn’t, don’t sacrifice me when the time comes!!!”


    “Panicking for what.” Ji Yuyan responded irritably, “You’re such a pushover; trust me, you won’t get punished.”


    “…” Ji Wutian looked over gloomily, “Does sister Yuqing know about this?”


    “What do you care whether she knows or not?!” Ji Yuyan retorted with irritation.


    Ji Wutian was equally irritated, “Sis, I would have let it go if it were just ordinary stuff, but this thing… if my old man finds out, he could literally kill me.”


    “Why so scared? I told you, you won’t be held responsible, and besides, what’s the use of good stuff if not to be eaten? If it’s useful, who dares to say no? Worst comes to worst, I’ll have my sister drink a bit as well.”


    “…You’re insane.”


    Ji Wutian forced a smile and pulled out his mobile phone.


    Ji Yuyan looked over, “What are you doing?”


    “Accepting a mission, to run away and hide for a couple of days.”


    “What a coward,” Ji Yuyan said with a look of contempt, “Go play by yourself. I’m done dealing with you.”


    She then walked away towards where Pei Jinye and the others were.


    “Let’s go, most of them have already arrived.”


    Inside the nearby villa, quite a number of people were being led in one after another.


    Ji Yuyan began introducing everyone to each other.


    A group of men and women, dressed in an assortment of styles; some were enthusiastic, but others were cold and indifferent towards Pei Jinye.


    A quick glance.


    These people were mediocre in terms of strength.


    They looked more like a group of wandering martial artists.


    The moment Ji Yuyan showed up, people toasted to her welcome, and the young girl seemed to relish the feeling of acting like the overlord of the martial world, quite satisfied, ordering the kitchen to prepare even more food.


    The crowd had their fill of the feast.


    When Ji Wutian showed up, a lot of people approached him to toast, including some who had previously not cared much about Pei Jinye.


    Ji Wutian welcomed them all without discrimination.


    He didn’t care about any status or rank.


    After the meal ended,


    Everyone dispersed.


    Ji Wutian, reeking of alcohol, lay against a pillar, grinning idiotically to himself, then burst into song, singing halfway before he started to heave and gag.


    Ji Yuyan instructed someone to carry Ji Wutian away.


    Yawning without any ladylike grace, “I hadn’t expected socializing to be so exhausting.”


    Murong Xiyue also looked tired.


    “It’s almost been an hour; it should be just about done.”


    Just as they spoke,


    sudden noise erupted from the entrance.


    “Everyone get out of the way!”


    A tall and upright young man strode in, facing Ji Yuyan with a frown as he scolded, “Were those people just now called over by you? Didn’t you see what kind of people they were? A rabble of nobodies!”


    Ji Yuyan immediately retorted with hands on her hips, “Ji Qiancheng, are you meddling too much? It’s my get-together; I invite who I want. Do I need to inform you?”


    “The family knows you’re making friends recklessly, afraid you’ll be deceived, that’s why they specifically sent me over!” Ji Qiancheng frowned.


    “What deception? What trickery?” Ji Yuyan said irritably, “Since when is it your place to meddle in what I do?”


    “You think I want to bother with you? If you were a bit more sensible yourself, the family wouldn’t have had to send me on this errand.”

    As Ji Qiancheng spoke, his gaze fell on Pei Jinye, but after a brief look, he dismissed him.


    However, Ji Yuyan took Pei Jinye and Murong Xiyue, and said, “Let’s go.”


    “Ji Yuyan!”


    Ji Qiancheng shouted behind them, frustrated and angry.


    Ji Yuyan didn’t look back.
