All the alchemist's jaws dropped to the ground in shock at the young boy's potential talent. To prove his abilities, Jianyu walked over to the tables where there were many unfinished pills and potions recipes. The first one which he looked at was a detoxification potion that had many incorrect ingredients and portions. Though incorrect the theoretical ideology behind it proved to work. Grabbing a clean sheet of paper he wrote a new and revised version of the detoxification potion that was proved to be effective.
The quietest of the Alchemist which was at the corner walked over to look over the recipe Jianyu had written wrote. He smiled at the youth's profound knowledge of alchemy, "Boy you're young yet you have knowledge of a high-ranked Alchemist. You remind me of one of my disciples." He smiles before sighing heavily out of grievance. This alchemist proved to be similar to his previous disciple.
Jianyu bowed in respect while sadness lingered in his grey-brown eyes. He managed to hold back the tears seeing as this alchemist was her previous alchemist teacher, "This young one was taught by a travelling female alchemist who had unfortunately died and she had left me her skills." He showed a butterfly mark on his inner wrist which was similar to the birthmark he had in his previous life.
The elder's eyes shot open in an instant. Upon hearing about a female travelling alchemist who had died tragically. He understood that the boy was indeed Daiyu. He pulled out a rose quartz tablet that had a spider lily engraving and handed it to the young boy. The other elders' jaws dropped once again because of the rose quartz. The Head Grandmaster had given the boy granted permission to restrict gardens in the sect. Granted the rose quartz tablet gave Jianyu access to restricted parts of the alchemy library and permission in the imperial palace. This had more power than most high-ranked alchemists within the sect.
This quartz had a lot of power which had equal power to the princes and princesses in the kingdom. The quartz required that it had to be given by a special oath that only the grandmaster and Lian Daiyu had created between master and pupil. Lian Daiyu having taught Jianyu meant this would be given to him. Many of the alchemists respected Lian Daiyu for her dedication to alchemy but there were a few who hated Daiyu. Her ascension to a black gold Dou Emperor at a young age when they are old and were still struck at Dou King or Dou Spirit. Many were infuriated to be overpassed by a younger person.
Once Jianyu had received the rose quartz tablet. A multitude of emotions welled up inside of him, "Junior give many thanks to elder." Jianyu knelt on one knee showing great respect to the elder. Elder Zhong took the young boy's arms and brought him up. They immediately had a fondness for each other that couldn't be understood by outsiders.
The elder chuckled feeling joyous, "Ah Boy there is no need for you to kneel before me." He stroked his beard chuckling, "It has been a while follow my young one." The elder walked out of the conference room before Jianyu gave him farewells to the other before catching up with his elder.
In the background, the other alchemist was shocked, to say the least. The head grandmaster had not laughed wholeheartedly since the death of his last and only disciple. The two people were like a grandfather and a grandson both were handsome despite the elder being old. Many alchemists wanted to be a disciple of the Grandmaster but he only accepted people who had the potential to become high-ranked alchemists. So, the requirement was difficult already since there were not many alchemists who become high-ranked alchemists.
The elder and Jianyu walked down to another room which was Elder Zhong's private room. The elder closed the door behind him, "Daiyu how is it possible? How are you alive?" The old man transformed into a much younger-looking middle-aged man with fox-like tendencies. He was a master of shape-shifting since he was a nine-tailed fox.
Jianyu hugged Elder Zhong happy to see someone familiar in this new life, "Master, when I died my soul, was transmigrated into this young girl's body." Explaining the new appearance in this part of the country. It was a lushly part of the country compared to the old deserted rural area that was known for the survival of the fittest.
Master Zhong was confused seeing as he just saw a young handsome boy, "Young girl?" Jianyu took off his disguise, revealing the appearance of a distinguishable young lady from a noble house.
Once Kuan-Yin took her hair out and took her disguise off. Master laughed again, "To think I didn't realise that you were a girl." It was a useful skill that Kuan-Yin had learnt in her past life which proved to be useful once again in this life.
In this life she wanted to honour her master for all of his teachings, "Master, this young one wants to become your disciple again." Daiyu cupped her fist and bowed towards her master, "This body needs training in alchemy, martial arts and bard skills again." Though she already knew her skillsets her current body needed the training to become what it was like in her past life. Nimble but strong.
There was a fondness on Master Zhong's face, "This old master is happy to become your master again." he laughed ruffling Kuan-Yin's hair happily as he treated her like a granddaughter. The door suddenly was knocked upon and Kuan-Yin quickly put her disguise back on to Jianyu.
Master Ko rushed into the room and cupped his hand with a fist showing respect. "Grandmaster Zhong the Second Prince has had another relapse of his Frost physique." Despite the happy reunion they quickly had to respond to such an emergency. Master Ko began guiding them to the infirmary where the Second Prince was admitted.
Both Masters and Jianyu rushed over to the infirmary to see the Second Prince. To Jianyu the second prince was by far one of the most handsome men he has seen so far. He had seen many beautiful faces in her first lifetime. But, he could see frost spreading all over the Prince's body just from speculation Jianyu could see something was inhabiting his body. It was very similar to the parasite little Hong had but it had a different constitution. It was much more deadly, vicious and much harder to deal with.
After further investigation, the parasite that was in the Second Prince's body wasn't normal. It was a gold Dou spirit level beast that feasts upon the hosts' dantain and once that is depleted then it will eat on the organs, bones and flesh and then travel to another host once it finishes. But, that wasn't all it was a Frost Parasite Worm which is common in the colder parts of the country yet they were in one of the warmer parts of the country. So, this part of the country was not adept to control such a beast as a parasite.
Jianyu had not encountered such a parasite before in his life, "Master this young one has an idea why the Second Prince is like this." But, he had heard enough stories about its treatment of it whilst travelling around the country.
Master Zhong smirked as he questioned him, "And what would be in His Majesty's body?" Though he knew that Jianyu already knew the answer it was an act to keep up to deceive the other alchemist around them.
Jianyu nodded as he understood Master Zhong's motive, "A Dou Spirit Frost parasite." Confidently answer the question without hesitation.
The same arrogant alchemist named Master Chen spoke up, "Impossible! Then how come I can't sense this parasite." He couldn't let go of the fact that this newcomer was calling all the shots despite just being at the alchemist sect for only one day all because he had potential genius talent.
Jianyu glared at him with annoyance, "The reason being you are incompetent. Your skills are higher than mine yet you can't sense a Frost parasite." Master Chen was fuming at this point, he was too embarrassed to speak from being scolded by someone wet behind the ears.
Jianyu pushed the prince's body upright to cleanse his body of the parasite. He stared at his master Master Zhong gave him a bag full of needles. He helped the prince with the circulation of his qi and warm up his body so the needles are easier to put in. The youth rapidly placed needles in acupuncture points on his back. Moments after a black liquid began to excrete from the prince's pore which soon stank up the room with a foul smell. The window had to be opened to release the foul stench as it was difficult to breathe.
Everyone was shocked by the amount of foul black liquid that was seeping out of his pores. The liquid stained the bedsheets black. People were disgusted by the scene and moved out of the room to get fresh air into their lungs. Yet, Jianyu who was the closest was struck with being drowned in the liquid and stench. Many had left but Elder Zhong, Master Chen, Master Ko and the prince's servant remained in the room.
After a while, the Prince's once sickly pale complexion had turned into a much healthier pale colour. He unconsciously spat out the same looking parasite that Hong-li had but it was plumper and more active as it was trying to find a new host. The parasite began releasing out frost to freeze a victim. But, before the parasite could find a new host Jianyu scooped the parasite into a porcelain bottle.
Despite being skilled, Jianyu came off the bed tiredly and his legs buckled underneath him. Just after one treatment, Jianyu was already exhausted. Elder Zhong caught him before he could face the plant into the ground. "The Second Prince should be able to cultivate again. He should exercise lightly to strengthen his body. Cook nutritious meals to help recover his body but also help with cultivation. Give him blood replenishing pills to help him recover from his weak state." Jianyu couldn't hold back and fainted due to exhaustion.
Elder Zhong carried the youth to his room to rest. He removed the mask and hairpin from the youth showing the ethereal beauty that was hidden underneath. A beautiful young girl with hair that was lustrous and silky, her pale skin was desired by many, her lashes were like butterflies perching on her eyes, and her lips were a peachy pink colour. He sighed as his pupil was another beauty that could conquer kingdoms.
