On the day of the grand opening of Heavenly Pill Tower, it had created quite a stir through the entire Hundred Rivers City. It could be said that overnight, the deserted inner streets of the west market had become the most lively place in the city. People were fighting over renting the two rows of shops. Various street stalls had also been set up between the streets and alleys. Even the wall that had originally been blocking this street had been opened up so that people could walk around with ease. It could be said that Heavenly Pill Tower had not only changed the emptiness of the west market, it had also brought prosperity to the area.
Feng Jiu, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Mo Chen went to Greenwaves Lake to enjoy the scenery after they had finished their meal at the restaurant. One could go boating on the lake and also sit in the bamboo forest pavilion to sip tea and play the zither. It was a quiet and charming place.
The three of them sat by Greenwaves Lake sipping tea and chatting until the sky started turning dark. At that point, Mo Chen stood up and left, while Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu returned to Heavenly Pill Tower.
“Master, the old man has woken up.” Leng Hua reported as soon as they stepped through the doors of Heavenly Pill Tower.
Feng Jiu nodded and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze: “Do you want to go to the attic to wait for me?”
“Sure.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded and went up to the attic.
Feng Jiu brought Leng Hua with her to the wing-room at the back courtyard. Once they entered the wing-room, they saw Fan Lin looking after the old man. When he saw his Master, he stood up: “Master, he is awake.”
“Did you feed him the medicine?” Feng Jiu asked. She walked over to the bed in the inner chamber and watched the old man on the bed as he opened his eyes slowly and looked at her.

“Grandfather Tan.” Feng Jiu’s eyes narrowed as she smiled at the old man and took in the look of shock in his eyes: “Unexpectedly, we meet once again.”
“It’s you?” The old man obviously recognised her. However, he hadn’t expected the young boy back then would become a woman now. So, she had disguised herself as a man?
“It’s me, Feng Jiu.”
She smiled, then sat down on the chair next to the bed and looked at him: “How are you feeling? Do you feel better?” As she spoke, she stretched her hand out and took his pulse and explored the situation in his body.
“So you saved me.” He murmured. He finally knew why he was still alive when he should have died. She had saved him. However, if she had saved him, then the people who were after him would…
“No, I can’t stay here.” He struggled to get up but was pushed down by Feng Jiu.
“Don’t worry, you are very safe here. Those people can’t hurt you.” Feng Jiu said: “It took me a lot of effort to save your life. Your injuries are not healed yet so you can’t get out of bed and move around.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry, it’s alright to stay.” She smiled then asked Fan Lin: “Did you give Grandfather the potion to drink?”
“Not yet.” Fan Lin took the bottle of potion out and handed it to Feng Jiu. He then stepped forward and helped the old man sit up against the bed.
Feng Jiu unscrewed the lid and passed the bottle of potion over to the old man: “Grandfather Tan, drink this up! It’s good for your health.”
Old Tan was taken aback when he saw the bottle of transparent potion and shook his head: “This is too expensive, I cannot accept it.” He knew how expensive this bottle of potion was just by looking at it, how could he drink such a thing? He didn’t know how she had obtained such a valuable item, but it couldn’t be wasted on him.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled: “I refined this potion, it’s not worth a lot.”
