When she woke up the next day, Chu Ran felt much better.
This is also because her spiritual consciousness is too powerful, and her meridians have carried the impact of the huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth during that riot, so the forced advancement did not leave more serious sequelae.
If it had been anyone else, their meridians would have been damaged, and they would have had to recover for at least ten days and a half.
"I'm going on a long trip in a few days." During breakfast, she told Mercury about her decision. "It could take at least half a month, or at most, several months before I can come back."
"Where are you going, Miss?" Mercury asked hurriedly.
She didn't say anything, just said: "The place I am going to is very dangerous and I cannot take you with me. Just stay in the mansion and I will set up a formation in the yard so that even if I leave, no one in the general's mansion will even think of harming you."
"
Mercury wanted to go with her, but she also knew in her heart that as a spiritual practitioner, she would not only be unable to help, but might also hinder the young lady.
He nodded glumly: "My servant listens to you, but Miss, the trial in the imperial city will be coming soon. If you leave now, won't you not be able to participate in the trial?"
"Trial?" Chu Ran was stunned for a moment, then vaguely remembered that such a thing happened.
That was the selection competition prepared by the Three Kingdoms in order to join the Six Sects.
Only the top twelve are qualified to become disciples of the six sects, and the trials in Jin are to select candidates to participate in the Three Kingdoms selection.
According to the usual practice, those who participate in the trial every year must be under twenty years old, their strength must not be lower than that of a spiritual servant, and they must come from a famous family.
The top ten will be determined through trials and represent Jin in the competition.
Everyone has only one chance to participate in the competition.
She shook her head: "I'm not interested."
Rather than wasting time on such things, she would rather go to the Jiuyou Mountains to find spiritual fires and spiritual herbs to improve her strength.
After informing Shuiyin, Chu Ran began to arrange her whereabouts and at the same time began to make preparations before departure.
Four days have passed in a flash.
In the past four days, the news that Chu Xinghe's spiritual root had been destroyed for the second time and that it would be impossible to repair it in this lifetime spread like wildfire in the imperial city.
At the same time, it was also spread that Qin Yao successfully reshaped the spiritual root for Chu Xinghe, and then turned against a second-grade alchemist and killed him instantly.
In an instant, Qin Yao's name spread throughout the imperial city, and no one knew about it.
Many forces have asked for pills and medicine. In the past few days, the messages from the Rongwei Army have not stopped.
Chu Ran was busy preparing things and did not respond for the time being, but the money he got from just passing the word of mouth was already as high as ten thousand taels, and it was still rising day by day.
She used the money, plus a middle-level elixir recipe, to buy many spiritual herbs and spiritual stones from the black market, as well as a yellow-level spiritual weapon.
Then temper the herbs into elixirs to prepare for emergencies.
"I have placed the formation spirit stone under the tree in the yard. When I leave, I will activate the formation. By then, the entire Zhaiyue Pavilion will be within the defensive formation. Unless you have the strength of the spirit master, no one can
Want to break it."
Chu Ran said softly to Mercury.
As soon as he finished speaking, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Miss." A servant ran into the yard, "Someone is looking for you outside the house. He claims to be your wet nurse's son."
Chu Ran was slightly startled.
Wet nurse?
A memory suddenly flashed through her mind.
The original owner did have a wet nurse when she was a child, who took care of her from the time she was born until she was three years old.
That person's name was Li Xiuniang. She was once a maidservant served by the original owner. In the original owner's vague impression, she seemed a little stupid and a little stupid, but she was very good to the original owner.
She would secretly bring steamed buns and rice porridge to the original owner to eat, and would hug her and cry after the original owner was abused by people in the house.
One day when the original owner was three years old, when she went to the kitchen to steal food, she was caught by Zheng Jinhua's people. After being beaten, she was thrown out of the general's mansion, and she was never heard from again.
"You said Li Xiuniang's son is here?" Chu Ran asked, with a somewhat meaningful tone.
The servant kept his head lowered and did not look at her: "...Yes, that person indeed said that."
"Oh~"
The rising sound made the servant swallow unconsciously, and his voice became a little tight: "Miss, do you want to see him?"
Chu Ran smiled: "See you, why not?"
She left the yard alone without letting Mercury follow her.
When passing by the servant, he smiled and said, "Thank you for coming all the way to tell me this."
In the past few days, the General's Mansion was very busy with Chu Xinghe's affairs. It also had to deal with guests like Fu Wanwan who came to visit her, and no one paid any attention to her.
And because of her bad relationship with Chu Tian and the others, the servants even avoided her.
But he was so kind to send a message to me, and there was really no way he could stop people from thinking about it.
Chu Ran's eyes deepened a little and fell on the servant, making him tremble all over.
The head hung lower.
"This is what small children should do."
Chu Ran did not comment, walked past him to the front yard, and immediately saw the young man pacing back and forth anxiously outside the door of the mansion.
He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with only the lowest level of spiritual cultivation. His skin was dark, and he was wearing a patched robe that had been washed white.
When he saw Chu Ran coming out, strangeness appeared on his face first, and then he asked tentatively: "Are you the eldest lady?"
Chu Ran nodded, "Are you Li Xiuniang's son?"
"Yes! This is my mother's silk handkerchief. I wonder if the eldest lady still recognizes it?" The young man took out a silk handkerchief that had become unstitched and worn out, and handed it to her to see.
The words Li Xiuniang can still be vaguely seen on it.
Chu Ran glanced at it and asked, "What do you want from me?"
The young man's eyes flickered a little.
"I... my mother has a serious illness. The doctors said there is no cure. I don't know if she feels something. She has been calling her eldest lady these past few days... I heard it when I was a child.
Mom said something about the General's Mansion, and I thought she might be talking about the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, so I came to the city. I didn't expect that it was really you."
As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a plop.
"Miss, please go see my mother, please!"
He kept kowtowing with great force, and within a few beats, blood started to flow from his forehead.
The look was so urgent that it was almost pleading, as if asking her to save her life.
Chu Ran's eyes moved slightly, and he waved a wave of spiritual power to hold his head.
"Stop knocking."
She walked down the steps.
"Lead the way, I'll go with you."
The boy's back arched even harder.
He stood up tremblingly, his voice filled with tears: "Thank you, thank you."
Chu Ran followed him and walked outside the imperial city.
Along the way, his head was always lowered and he never looked at her once.
After leaving the city, follow the opposite direction of the official road, heading towards the mountains and forests in the south. The further you go, the fewer people there are.
The sky gradually darkened, the stars and the moon were blocked by layers of dark clouds, and the mountains and forests stood quietly in the darkness. The wind sounded like weeping, and occasionally a few crows came from the forest, adding a bit of gloom.
The young man stopped in front of the mountain road, his body shaking like chaff.
"I'm sorry, Miss!"
Throwing these words behind him, he ran towards the mountain.
At the same time, several bloody light pillars shot into the sky!
