Lin Zainan was not in a hurry to let Yun Ruoyan start refining medicine. He said that the newly condensed spiritual fire was not easy to control, and the homework he assigned to Yun Ruoyan was to go back and practice more control of the spiritual fire.
In Tinglan Garden, Yun Ruoyan closed the door to practice in the house, while Shao Yao and Xi Lan were embroidering pillows and gossiping in the yard.
"Sister Shaoyao, what do you think if our young lady's body is ruined by practicing like this all day long!" Xi Lan rubbed the tip of the needle on her scalp and said with a frown.
"No, our lady has a sense of propriety." Shao Yao lowered her head, embroidering the stamen of a phoenix flower very carefully.
She gave Yun Ruoyan several suits to choose that day, and Yun Ruoyan chose the phoenix flower at a glance. She remembered that the young lady didn't like the phoenix flower in the past, saying it was too ostentatious and coquettish.
"My lady's eyesight is getting better and better now, the appearance of that phoenix flower is the most beautiful among all the flowers." Xi Lan said with a smile.
Shao Yao paused with her fingers, then smiled and said: "Yes, our lady is getting better and better."
"Sister Shaoyao, sister Xilan."
The two were talking, when suddenly a voice sounded not far away, they looked up, and saw Ling Lan timidly standing at the corner of the yard.
Yun Ruoyan was practicing controlling the spiritual fire in the room, and saw two small red flames in the palms of her hands, and as she poured the fire element mist from the spiritual sea into her palms, the two small flames grew bigger and bigger, Like two blood lotuses blooming in her palm.
"For the control of the spirit fire, not only must it be able to control its size at will, but also be able to change its color at will."
Lin Zainan's teaching to Yun Ruoyan rang in her ears, "Red color has almost no temperature and cannot be used to refine medicine alone, but it is indispensable in the process of refining medicine. It can adjust the temperature that is too high. It can also be a transition between the two flames."
Yun Ruoyan's eyes were fixed on the red flame in her hand, and she was concentrating on converting it into the previous orange color, but she failed after trying for a long time.
With a sound of "poof", the two flames went out together, and the fire elemental mist in Yun Ruoyan's spiritual sea had been exhausted by her.
"Using spiritual fire really consumes a lot of spiritual power. No wonder my grandfather didn't let me start refining medicine right away."
Yun Ruoyan looked at her white spiritual sea, and said to herself: "With my current level of spiritual power, it may be difficult to even ignite the medicine stove. It seems that the practice of Sword Master has to continue. ah!"
The sword master's practice is the basis of all practice, because through the practice of the sword master, the spiritual sea can be strengthened and expanded, and the spiritual energy of the world can be absorbed faster and more purely.
Because Yun Ruoyan broke through too quickly, although she was already at the seventh level of Sword Master, her Linghai was relatively weak.
If she didn't use the power of the silver bracelet to make her confront the same seventh-level peak swordsman, she would definitely be defeated because her spiritual power was exhausted.
Therefore, what she needs to do now is to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth and continuously refine these spiritual energy into spiritual mist to strengthen her spiritual sea.
Having found a new target, Yun Ruoyan immediately entered the silver bracelet space to practice spiritual sea without stopping.
She had just closed her eyes when there was a knock on the door.
She said with some displeasure: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb me when I was practicing?"
"Miss, Lily Lan said that she has something important to report to you." Shao Yao's voice sounded outside the door.
Yun Ruoyan sat on the stool, and Ling Lan bowed and stood in front of her.
"Is this what Da Furen asked you to put in my meal?" Yun Ruoyan held a small jug the size of a palm in her palm, and asked Lily of the Valley: "Do you know what this is?"
"Miss Hui, it smells like wine, and I don't know what kind of servant it is."
Ling Lan replied respectfully: "The Da Furen just told me to pour some into your favorite pork belly when no one is looking."
Yun Ruoyan sneered suddenly, and said, "I even found out that I like to eat braised pork. I really put my mind to it this time."
Lily of the valley didn't reply, just buried her head lower.
Seeing her trembling look, Yun Ruoyan said in a light tone, "Ling Lan, you've done a good job."
As she spoke, she took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from her body and put it on the table, "This is your reward."
Ling Lan looked up and saw the silver but did not come to take it, but knelt down and said with a choked voice: "Miss, you can't repay Ling Lan for your kindness, if Ling Lan takes this silver, the father at home will definitely will blame me."
Yun Ruoyan nodded slightly, and asked, "Is my husband feeling better?"
"My dad is better."
Ling Lan raised her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve and said: "Thank you, Miss, for the doctor you hired for my father, and for helping my brother pay off his gambling debts. Ling Lan will repay you by doing her best."
Although Linglan was the lady's eyeliner in Tinglanyuan at the beginning, Yun Ruoyan found that this girl's nature was not bad, so she guessed that she must have something to hide.
When she went to the Lin family, she asked Lin Qingchen to help investigate. Sure enough, Linglan's family is very difficult. Her father in his seventies is seriously ill and has no money for medical treatment, and his only brother is addicted to gambling and owes a huge debt.
Yun Ruoyan asked Lin Qingchen to cure Ling Lan's old father's old illness, and also paid off his brother's gambling debts.
After Lily Lan found out about this, she was naturally very grateful, which was also what Yun Ruoyan wanted.
Although the eldest lady has a deep heart, she is mean and ungrateful, knowing that Ling Lan's family is in trouble, she threatens her with this, and every time she gives Ling Lan only enough money for her emergency, so that she can't leave her control.
Yun Ruoyan felt that the Da Furen was sometimes even worse than Yi Qianying in winning people's hearts.
"Get up." Yun Ruoyan stretched out her hand to support Ling Lan, and said, "This money is for you for reporting the letter last time, take it."
It turned out that the last time Yun Ruoyu poisoned Yun Ruoyan in the soup, Ling Lan had notified her in advance. That day Ling Lan happened to go to the Yilan Courtyard to report Yun Ruoyan's situation, and just walked to the window to listen. Arriving at the conspiracy of the An family.
After Linglan came back, she immediately found Shaoyao, and Shaoyao immediately told Yun Ruoyan about it.
Yun Ruoyan picked up the silver and stuffed it into Ling Lan's hand, Ling Lan tremblingly held the silver, and kept saying thank you miss.
She looked at the silver in her hand with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.
The monthly bills of the servants of the Yun family are not small, and they only have five coins a month, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to her monthly bills for two years.
Previously, the Da Furen's tip was only two liang at most, but Yun Ruoyan's image in Ling Lan's heart instantly became much taller.
Yun Ruoyan looked at the little girl's reverent eyes and felt that she needed to add a layer of insurance.
She asked, "I heard that your elder brother is still a scholar."
Ling Lan didn't expect that Yun Ruoyan would ask her about her elder brother, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My elder brother is indeed a scholar, and he is very talented, but because his family is poor and cannot afford the examiner's request His filial piety is silver, so he will fail in repeated trials."
The common people on Shenyuan Continent have two ways to change their lives.
One is to become a strong person through cultivation. As long as one breaks through the cultivation base of a third-level sword master, one can usually find a job as a nurse, and it is not a problem to support a family.
If you reach the fifth-level swordsman's cultivation base, you can become a disciple of a big family, or directly enter the court to seek a martial arts job.
But most people have no cultivation talent, or the cultivation talent is extremely poor, and they have no hope of breaking through to the third-level sword master in their lifetime, so they can only take the second path, the scientific examination.
Ling Lan's elder brother took the second path, but the corruption in the current imperial court is serious, and the emperor Lixiu puts more emphasis on martial arts than literature, and does not pay attention to scientific examinations and the selection of civil officials, and fraud in scientific examinations has become a common practice.
Ling Lan's elder brother is just because he can't afford the filial money required by the examiner. He has a talent but has been repeatedly failed. After several times, he was deeply hit and became addicted to gambling.
Yun Ruoyan had heard Lin Qingchen tell her about these situations. Lin Qingchen said that Ling Lan's brother had a certain air of despondency, and now that he was at home, he might not be able to restrain himself from continuing to gamble.
Yun Ruoyan came to the desk and wrote a note and handed it to Linglan, and said to her, "Tell your brother to take this note to the Lin Family Wanyao Tang in the city, and they will give your brother a job."
"Miss, what... what did you say?" Ling Lan looked at Yun Ruoyan with wide eyes, and couldn't believe her eyes and ears. Miss actually said to let his brother go to the Lin family's Wanyaotang.
Yun Ruoyan was amused by her stunned look, and said: "Wan Yaotang was opened by my grandfather's house, and now my cousin is taking care of it, the girl who went to your house to treat your father last time .”
Ling Lan immediately thought of Lin Qingchen. It happened that someone from the casino came to ask for the bill that day, and said that if she couldn't pay the money, she would burn down her house.
At this moment, a beautiful woman appeared suddenly, not only paid off the debts for her family, but also cured her old father.
Lin Qingchen, like Yun Ruoyan, was a Bodhisattva in Ling Lan's mind.
"You ask your brother to hand this note to Miss Lin, and she will definitely accept your brother." Yun Ruoyan said.
Lily Lan held the silver ingot tremblingly in one hand, and took the note in Yun Ruoyan's hand tremblingly in the other hand, feeling a little dazed.
She never thought that Yun Ruoyan could solve the two big problems on her head that made her breathless in this short moment.
Life in the family will be easier with money, and my brother will still be with the female Bodhisattva when he has a job.
For some reason, Ling Lan is convinced that her brother will definitely quit gambling this time, and her hard life is finally coming to an end.
With a plop, Ling Lan knelt down in front of Yun Ruoyan, and kowtowed heavily to Yun Ruoyan.
"Miss, if you need Ling Lan to do anything in the future, Ling Lan will definitely die!"
Yun Ruoyan nodded in satisfaction, and then helped Ling Lan up.
After Linglan left, Yun Ruoyan casually took the small bottle in her hand and uncorked it, put it under her nose and sniffed it, a strange smell immediately entered her nose.
"Ah Choo..." Yun Ruoyan sneezed fiercely and yelled, "What the hell!"
