Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One: Onsen Palace
welcomed the dawn.The morning bell at Guanxing Lou has already rung.This resounding and prolonged sound echoed throughout this 300-mile vast kingdom, causing anyone who heard it to feel clarity in th...The Onsen Palace is located to the east of the entire Qi Wang Palace and, under normal circumstances, is a place where only members of the royal family can enjoy.
Since the current emperor came to power, he has directly set aside half of the pond specifically to bestow rewards upon meritorious officials, expressing his gratitude.
And this time, the three participants in the Yellow River Gathering enjoyed a "heavenly bath" which was the highest level spring eye in the entire Hot Spring Palace, and the medicinal herbs used were needless to say.
Fortunately, the "sky bathing" is divided into three pools. People of different cultivation levels and physiques will have different effects from the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Medical Bureau. It's essential to treat each person individually.
Otherwise, being with Ji Zhaonan and Chong Xuanzun... would be quite awkward.
Three of the nation's most gifted individuals had already met outside the Onsen Palace, each with nothing to say.

Jiang Wang and Ji Zhao nan weren't familiar with each other. They just nodded politely and had nothing else to say.
And He Xuan Zun, it's only a matter of time before they clash. After learning about what happened during He Xuan Zun's studies at the Jixia Academy, this meeting was different. While He Xuan Zun didn't glare or scowl, he wasn't as friendly and approachable either.
As for Ji ZhaoNan and ChongXuan...they seem to not get along either, treating each other as if the other doesn't exist.
The only real benefit is that the three of them can still focus and remain calm, each standing still and practicing right where they are. It's not too difficult to endure.
Only when the young eunuch from the Hot Spring Palace came to lead them away did Jiang Wang feel a little more at ease.
"Tianyu" didn't involve any romantic affairs. The eunuch led Jiang Wang to a bathing pool made of green jade and then bowed before departing.
There was a white-bearded old man sitting behind a long table by the pool, waiting.

It seems he was also a decisive person. Upon seeing Jiang Wang, he opened his medicine pouch and said directly: "Take a drop of fresh blood from the Azure Sheep male for use."
The needle pouch was filled with needles of varying lengths and colors. It was unclear what purpose those multicolored needles served... Looking at them gave me a creepy feeling.
But taking his blood was nothing new to Jiang Wang. The eunuch had already explained the process. This imperial physician was going to examine his blood and, based on his physique, concoct a medicinal solution tailored specifically for him.
Over these three days, Jiang Wang bathed in incense and water at the Xiashan Villa, and did soak in some medicinal baths, but it was naturally far inferior to the conditions at the Onsen Palace. At best, it could only be considered a warm-up.

With everyone already here, Jiang Wang didn't waste any words. He sat down opposite the old man and extended his right hand.
The old man, with his withered and cold left hand, grasped his. His right hand hovered over the needle case, as if deliberating which one to use.
He started chatting casually, as if offhandedly: "I heard that a few days ago, a man from Qingyang Town beat up an injured patient at the Imperial Medical Bureau"
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. Only then did she realize that the old man had quite a grip. She tried to pull her hand away, but it wouldn't budge...
"How could that be" Jiang Wangqiang smiled forcefully. "I just went to see my friend and express my condolences."
The old man raised an eyebrow: "Oh, friend,"
"Yes, yes..." Jiang Wang streamed cold sweat, watching the old man pull out a crimson needle from his needle pouch - a full foot long! Heaven knows how that obvious needle pouch could produce such a long needle!
"Just a drop of blood, right" Lord Jiang confirmed again.
Whitebeard stared at his hand, as if searching for the right spot to insert the needle, without looking up: "How do you define a drop"

Jiang Wang: ...
“I was wrong!” Jiang Wang apologized sincerely. “From now on, I promise I will never cause trouble at Taiping Hospital again.”
"Tsk!" said the old man with white beard, "What are you nervous about I'm an old man, would I bully you kids"
That inch-long red needle, lightly tapped on Jiang Wang's finger by the old man, disappeared from his hands without even a hint of pain.
The most terrifying thing is the absence of pain.
Given Jiang Wang's current cultivation level, taking a single drop of his blood right in front of him wouldn't even register as a sensation. This kind of power is truly intriguing...
When the other party loosened their grip, Jiang Wang silently retracted his hand and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, may I know your name"
The old man glanced at him: "What, do you want to go back and gather your cronies to surround my door Are young people this ruthless now I'm getting up there in years..."
"How could I" Jiang Wang wiped his sweat: "I just think the old gentleman is a highly skilled doctor, and I want to make a good connection."

Whitebeard the old man brought out a medicine chest from somewhere and placed it on the long table. After opening it, he began taking different powders from inside and putting them into a jade bowl.
Then he said, "Oh, my surname is Lei."
Jiang Wang stood up abruptly.
It's said, how could this old gentleman let Lei run out of breath first! Feelings are like a family! This is not right! We must find a different physician!
“You're kidding!” the old man laughed like a child. “My last name is Wen.”
“Oh, Dr. Wen,” Jiang Wang’s heart lightened slightly.
The old man squinted his eyes, carefully measuring out the powdered medicine, and as if casually asked: "My surname, I don't think you've met many people with it, have you"
"Not many," Jiang Wang said honestly. "I only know a girl named Wen."
The old man shook the jade bowl in his hand and said in a soft voice, "Where is Wen Tinglan You must call me San Ye."
That's easy to talk about!
Jiang Wang's heart was filled with joy, and a smile appeared on his face: "Actually, we have some history together!"

He originally wanted to say how close he was with Yan Fu, and that Yan Fu was still Wen Tinglan's fiancé, so in a way they were all family.
But suddenly, the old doctor Wen said fiercely: “I have a needle that can make someone impotent for ten years. If anyone dares to make my Tinglan unhappy in the future, I will definitely make them try it!”
Jiang Wang silently closed his mouth.
"By the way, you just said we have some kind of connection" Old Master Wen asked.
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I mean from now on, we can be considered to have a connection. Today, I was fortunate enough to meet Wen Shenyi and witness your superb medical skills, Jiang Wang is truly lucky for three lives!"
Old Doctor Wen tapped him with her finger and smiled, "This child, he really knows how to talk!"
...Just end it already… Jiang Wang thought.
"Speaking honestly and acting sincerely!"
Elder Physician Wen had already prepared the medicinal powder. With a flick of his finger, he brought out another foot-long red acupuncture needle, suspending it above the jade bowl. A drop of crimson blood fell into the cyan jade bowl, and upon contact with the powder, it instantly transformed into a milky white potion.
The fragrance is surprisingly intoxicating!

Elder physician Wen casually tossed the jade bowl towards the bathing pool. The bowl hung above the pool, and milky-white medicinal liquid cascaded down like a waterfall, mixing with the hot spring water in the pool.

It became clear and translucent, and the fragrance also became faint and ethereal.
The old doctor beckoned, put the jade bowl away, closed the medicine chest, and stood up. "Alright. Go enjoy your sunbath," she said.
Jiang Wang let out a sigh of relief and was about to head to Qingyu Pool.
Wen the old physician suddenly turned his head and said, "Rest assured, there is no harmful medicine."
Then he swaggered away.
This time, it's truly goodbye.
Only Master Jiang stood by the Green Jade Pond...his mind in turmoil.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to continue or not.
