"Bring me a pen and a piece of paper!" After everyone else had left, Jiang Chen instructed Ye Xinru.
Hearing Jiang Chen's command, Ye Xinru hurried to fetch the paper and pen. Jiang Chen wrote down over ten kinds of medicinal herbs, all of which were precious materials that would cost millions at market price. Ye Xinru was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be so knowledgeable about pharmacology. However, this wasn't the time for admiration. Once Jiang Chen finished writing the prescription, he instructed Ye Xinru to go collect the herbs.
After Ye Xinru left, only Jiang Chen and Ye Ming remained in the hall. Ye Ming sat awkwardly to the side, feeling uneasy. The cold aura emanating from Jiang Chen made Ye Ming too intimidated to make contact.
"Lift your head," Jiang Chen suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Ye Ming flinched and slowly raised his head, avoiding eye contact and not daring to meet Jiang Chen's gaze.
"What? I won't eat you; there's no need to be so afraid of me," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Only then did Ye Ming cautiously look at Jiang Chen, his expression softening slightly.
In the evening, Ye Xinru rushed back in a hurry, and at the same time, Chen Zhi arrived. Earlier, when Ye Xinru went to buy the herbs, she had called Chen Zhi. As a practitioner of Zhenren Dao Fa, he was quite knowledgeable about medicinal materials. She invited him along to avoid any mistakes. Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had come to Gusu, Chen Zhi left the hospital immediately and limped over to meet Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang, I've finally been waiting for you; Ming'er is saved!" Chen Zhi exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the herbs Ye Xinru had brought back and nodded in satisfaction before instructing her to prepare a bath and hot water.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Chen asked Ye Ming to undress for the medicinal bath. Although Chen Zhi wanted to see how Jiang Chen would treat Ye Ming, he felt uncomfortable staying in the room while Ye Ming was undressed. So he waited outside instead. Ye Xinru remained in the room, anxiously watching.
Ye Ming possessed the Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body. The Spirit Serpent Body is one type of Innate Spiritual Body. Innate Spiritual Bodies come in various forms: Xiantian Ice Body, Xiantian Fire Body, Xiantian Lightning Body—these attribute-based Spiritual Bodies are highly sought after by major sects in the Xiu Xian World. Besides these natural attribute Spiritual Bodies, there are also Xiantian Beast Bodies. Ye Ming's Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body is one such type.
With proper cultivation, this Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body could traverse the Earth effortlessly. While Innate Spiritual Bodies are excellent, if a Spiritual Body does not awaken, it can turn toxic and cause immense suffering.
Jiang Chen was now helping Ye Ming awaken his Spiritual Body. He formed a formation in mid-air and set up a small Spirit Awakening Formation around Ye Ming. Although his cultivation level wasn't high at present, his profound experience from his past life was sufficient for this task.
"Formation activate; awaken Spiritual Body," Jiang Chen chanted softly. The formation emitted radiant light that illuminated the entire room brilliantly. Various colors of light flowed like rippling lake water as the formation's power infused into the medicinal bath, causing the liquid in the wooden tub to boil and steam to rise like a thick mist enveloping Ye Ming within it.
The spiritual energy within the formation, combined with the medicinal power of the herbs, formed a peculiar force that seeped through Ye Ming's skin and into her body. Enveloped in steam, her transformation was obscured, leaving only the sound of her pained whispers.
Activating the Spiritual Body was not an easy process; those with weak wills often failed at this initial stage. It was not uncommon for accidents to occur during the activation of the Spiritual Body in the Xiu Xian World. However, Ye Ming had endured the pain brought on by the Serpent Spirit Body mutation every month, so the agony of activating her Spiritual Body should be manageable for her.
Ye Xinru stood nearby, her heart aching as she listened to her daughter's pained murmurs. Clenching her fists tightly, she felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety. She wanted to rush over to comfort Ye Ming and encourage her, but feared interrupting Jiang Chen's work, leaving her to pace restlessly in place.
After about half an hour, Ye Ming's soft cries finally ceased. Jiang Chen withdrew the formation, and the steam surrounding Ye Ming gradually dissipated, revealing her form. Ye Xinru watched intently and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter still seated in the wooden tub, her complexion still quite rosy.
"Alright, President Ye, you can help your daughter rinse off now," Jiang Chen said before leaving the room.
A fine sheen of sweat had formed on Jiang Chen's forehead; the consumption of his Spiritual Energy had been significant. Not only did he need to help Ye Ming activate her Spiritual Body, but he also had to refine her physique. Nevertheless, this effort was worthwhile for Jiang Chen; an Innate Spiritual Body was a promising prospect for cultivation. During this time, he had contemplated much about his rebirth on Earth and felt compelled to contribute to its future.
His family and friends still lived on Earth, and he aimed to cultivate a force there to prevent any potential invasions by foreign civilizations.
Once Jiang Chen left the room, Ye Xinru hurriedly inquired about how Ye Ming was feeling. Ye Ming could hardly articulate her sensations but felt rejuvenated overall. She stood up from the bath, revealing her body covered in dark, viscous impurities. Ye Xinru quickly urged her to wash up.
After cleaning herself, Ye Xinru gazed at her daughter's body in astonishment. Now, Ye Ming's skin was smooth as jade and flawless, resembling a figure sculpted from white marble—almost unreal.
"Mr. Jiang is truly remarkable," Ye Xinru marveled.
She urged her daughter to get dressed and tidy herself up. Once Ye Ming was ready, Ye Xinru couldn't help but exclaim again, "Ming'er, your beauty now is beyond words—like a celestial being."
Ye Ming blushed deeply and stole glances at herself in the mirror, confidence sparkling in her eyes.
For years, due to her peculiar illness, Ye Ming had shied away from contact with others and had no friends; she mostly stayed at home. Although she was beautiful and came from a good family, prolonged self-isolation had made her timid and insecure. Now, however, there was finally a glimmer of spirit in her eyes.
In the villa's hall, Ye Xinru led Ye Ming before Jiang Chen. At that moment, Ye Ming wore a fitted long dress; her long hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders while her red lips contrasted against her bright teeth—she resembled a pure white lotus emerging untainted from muddy waters.
Ye Ming's beauty lay in its purity and possessed a unique charm.
"Ming'er, hurry up and thank Mr. Jiang," Ye Xinru urged eagerly.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for saving my life. I, Ming'er, will never forget this kindness," Ye Ming said hurriedly, bowing deeply in gratitude.
Beside him, Chen Zhi was astonished by the drastic change in Ye Ming and couldn't help but admire Jiang Chen even more.
"Mr. Jiang, I have studied Ming'er's condition carefully, but I was always at a loss. I never expected you to resolve it so quickly. However, I am curious about what exactly is wrong with Ming'er. Could it really be the result of the Serpent Evil?" Chen Zhi asked, filled with curiosity.
