Previously at the eighth heaven of the Purple Mansion, Shen Qing cultivated and broke through to the ninth heaven on his own. This time, with an additional minor cultivation advancement card, he directly reached the Golden Core Realm.

Normally, the bottleneck from the ninth heaven to breaking through a major realm is more difficult than the minor realms before it.

But with the system item, he reached it instantly. Now he just needs to digest the changes after breaking through the realm.

“A new skill, Massage, appeared on the system panel...”

Shen Qing shook his head with a smile.

It's not useless, it's just not very useful.

Better than nothing, it's passable.

Not long after, the door opened.

Ning Zhenzhen had finished washing up and changed her clothes. She originally intended to talk to Shen Qing about something, but as soon as she entered, she sensed the fluctuation of Golden Core Realm spiritual power.

She covered her mouth in surprise: “You’ve reached the Golden Core Realm?”

One must know, Immortal Lord Zhao, for them to accumulate deeply and achieve great things, used her Immortal King level realm to suppress their cultivation in the three mortal dao realms with Immortal Radiance.

The benefit was that their strength in the same realm was significantly higher than others, their foundation was more solid, and they slowly digested the Immortal Radiance during cultivation, which greatly benefited them.

But this also made their cultivation speed in the three mortal dao realms much slower than others.

Otherwise, Ning Zhenzhen wouldn't still be stuck in the Spirit Vein Realm.

Shen Qing restrained his aura, just smiled, and didn't say much.

He could clearly sense that the Immortal Radiance still remained within his body, but it had been refined, constantly nourishing him.

Ning Zhenzhen didn't ask further. She said, “Wanqing’s parents are back. I heard Lin Yi even caused trouble at the Hua Family.”

She was quite happy, unable to stop gloating.

Shen Qing had personally witnessed Lin Yi's incident, so hearing her say this now didn't spark much curiosity.

He just wondered how others would talk about this matter.

He followed Ning Zhenzhen out and happened to see Jiang Wanqing and The Jiang Couple discussing something.

Upon seeing him come out, Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but recall last night, her face flushed. She turned her head and said, “This is Young Master Shen Qing, whom I mentioned. He has impressive attainments in both medical and alchemical arts.”

“Oh?” Jiang Lin looked over upon hearing this. “As expected of Immortal Lord Zhao’s esteemed disciple, he is indeed a man of outstanding talent.”

“We are planning to go with Wanqing to diagnose Old Family Head Hua. I wonder if...”

If Shen Qing was indeed as formidable as Jiang Wanqing claimed, he might truly be able to resolve Old Family Head Hua’s hidden ailment.

At the very least, it would be good to discern something about his condition.

Moreover, even if Shen Qing wasn't as formidable as Jiang Wanqing claimed, Jiang Lin wouldn't dare to slight him or look down on him, simply because of his master.

Shen Qing had no objections. It was quite boring to stay at someone else's house all the time during a trip, and it was a good opportunity to meet Hua Xiangrong along the way.

So, The Jiang Couple, who had just returned home, rushed back to the Hua Family in a flurry.

They had originally intended to bring their daughter, Jiang Wanqing, who had also studied medicine with the Medical Immortal. Shen Qing was an unexpected bonus.

Upon arriving at the Hua Family.

Shen Qing had already formed an idea about Old Family Head Hua's ailment when he observed Lin Yi using the protagonist observation card earlier. Now, after a on site look, he had deduced the specific situation.

As for treatment, it was actually not difficult.

At this moment, Hua Chengyue and his wife were gathered around Jiang Wanqing, anxiously waiting.

Lin Yi, the legitimate successor to the Medical Immortal's legacy, was unreliable. If Jiang Wanqing also proved unreliable, then they would truly be at their wit's end.

Only Hua Xiangrong kept staring at Shen Qing, her brow subtly furrowed.

This person... is very strange.

But what exactly was strange about him, she couldn't articulate.

Shen Qing came to her side at some point and asked with concern, “Are you worried about Old Family Head’s condition?”

“Ah?” Hua Xiangrong’s brow relaxed, and she lowered her head, saying, “Yes, Grandpa is not young anymore. Now that he suddenly knows he has a hidden ailment, if anything unexpected happens...”

Shen Qing chuckled, “There are not only those who dare to call themselves Medical Immortal before becoming an immortal with superb medical skills in this world.”

What did he mean?

Hua Xiangrong's heart grew wary. “But our Hua Family only knows of one Medical Immortal.”

Shen Qing: “I happen to have a pill formula that is perfectly suited for Old Family Head’s injury.”

Needless to say, Hua Xiangrong clearly didn't believe him.

But... she then remembered that The Jiang Couple had specifically introduced this person's master as Immortal Lord Zhao, whose title was Xuanji and who was an Immortal King Realm expert.

“If you trust me, then come with me.”

Hua Xiangrong thought about it, still suppressing the unease in her heart, and followed him.

The two soon arrived at a secluded corner.

Shen Qing naturally had pill formulas, and more than one.

The Ancient Dao of Alchemy Inheritance from Shennong Valley was all-encompassing.

But the real reason Shen Qing actively approached Hua Xiangrong wasn't out of benevolence, but because... [Name: Hua Xiangrong]

[Cultivation: Purple Mansion Realm Third Heaven]

[Special: Demon-Suppressing Female Martial God, Flower Fairy]

[Introduction: Her true spirit is incomplete, only half of it exists, the other half is unknown. Her personality is outwardly gentle but inwardly strong, tenacious and unyielding, hating evil like fire, having slain countless evil demons.]

[Note: Due to the Demon-Suppressing Female Martial God part, the other party harbors vigilance and uncontrollable malice towards the host.]

The true spirit is the foundation of a person, the core of the soul.

“System, I'm not a demon, am I?”

[From her perspective, the fate of a Destined Great Villain is that of a demon.]

“Tsk.”

It seems like another reincarnated one, just like his Senior Sister and Master.

And he met her during her weak reincarnated period, when her memories hadn't yet recovered.

It seemed she was also an immortal in her previous life, but he didn't know at which realm. The first three heavens of the True Immortal Realm are called Human Immortals, the middle three heavens are Earth Immortals, and the last three heavens are Heavenly Immortals.

This is different from before ascending to immortality. These three stages can even be considered three independent major realms.

“If Young Master Shen’s pill formula is truly effective, our Hua Family will surely offer a generous reward,” Hua Xiangrong said solemnly.

Shen Qing used his hand as a brush, writing the pill formula in mid-air.

Of course, only half of it.

And Hua Xiangrong stared at this pill formula without blinking, her heart filled with shock.

Her intuition told her that this pill formula was viable.

Hua Xiangrong had always trusted her intuition.

However, this pill formula was only half complete.

“What does Young Master Shen need in order to give me the complete pill formula?”

“I haven’t decided yet,” Shen Qing said. “How about you come to me tonight, and I’ll tell you?”

“You...!” Hua Xiangrong glared.

Her intuition was indeed correct, Shen Qing was not a good person!

Shen Qing: “Have you noticed that your true spirit is incomplete?”
