I Have Medicine

lack eyes made one feel like they were even darker and more profound than usual.

However, there wasn't any doubt that the depths of those pitch-black eyes were pulsing with a kind of ecstasy.

Tianheng could sense his meridians strengthening.
The warmth that flowed through his body became burning hot!

As for the pain…

The margin of Gongyi Tianheng's lips slowly exposed the hint of a smile.

It was extremely disturbing.

The greater the pain, the more delighted he became!

Gu Zuo wiped away the first wave of sweat from Tianheng's face, whose eyes became bright — It looked like there was a strange power brewing within his body.
Continuous streams of qi flowed above the medicinal decoction.
It seemed like there were countless bolts of richly colored cloth fluttering in the air.

Very good.
The medicinal properties were still stable… In that case, he would go to work on the second item.

He quietly said: “Young master Tianheng, I'm going to give you a dish of medicinal cuisine.
You must endure this by all means.”

Gongyi Tianheng's eyes moved imperceptibly and fell on Gu Zuo.
He opened his mouth very slowly: “Okay.”

Gu Zuo couldn't help smiling, and psyched himself up [3].
He quickly returned to the secret room.

He'd been refining “meals of organic harmony” for a long time and could be considered skillful.
After he came back to carefully deliberate, he increased the medicinal properties to the limits of his patron's endurance — That's right.
For whatever reason, ever since he started refining medicine, he always had a kind of intuition of how medical properties affected people.
Just as he used to be in modern times, he seemed to be able to sense something from medicinal ingredients, but now, this perception was even more obvious.

It was very odd, but also very useful for him.

Not long after, Gu Zuo arrived at the side of the bath tub, carrying a bowl of medicinal cuisine.
He held the handle of a spoon, and quickly called out: “Young master Tianheng, take your medicine.”

Gongyi Tianheng heard about Gu Zuo raising the subject of this process long ago.
At this time, he bore this pain and opened his eyes: “…That's inconvenient.”

His voice was somewhat rough, but it carried an undertone of s.e.x appeal.
Compared to his normally gentle words, it could attract people even more.

However, Gu Zuo currently didn't pay attention to that sort of thing.
He was very nervous and took this seriously.
With a steady hand, he ladled out a spoonful of medicinal cuisine and delivered it to Tianheng's lips.

Right now, Gongyi Tianheng…only had the strength to open his mouth.

Fortunately, the cuisine entered his mouth and didn't make him spill too much.

At this time, the heat flowing through his belly suddenly became fierce.

For each meridian, from the outside it was like being turned into a pincushion, and from the inside it was like a fire was burning.
It caused Tianheng extreme pain.

After Gu Zuo fed him, even though Gongyi Tianheng had an astonishing fort.i.tude, he couldn't help but crease his eyebrows.

However, he merely frowned.
Nothing more.

Gu Zuo felt admiration in his heart.

He didn't know how painful it was…but he had a rough idea of how bad it was based on Tianheng's reaction.
Moreover, he'd be seeing this kind of situation every day in the future.

Right when he was accompanying his patron to endure, several lines of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Long term mission: Thirty strands of medicinal qi every month to maintain system function.]

[Mission prop: >.] [4]

[Completion mode: Daily.]

[Completion time: No limit.]

[Failure penalty: Obliteration.]

Unexpectedly, the system that hadn't responded for quite a long time, once again showed its sense of existence?

Gu Zuo couldn't help but stare blankly.

Speaking of which…ever since he removed the threat to his life, he quickly forgot that the system even existed.

Last time, after he completed his mission, he didn't know how to ask whether the “medicinal qi” could be acc.u.mulated.
Then, he subconsciously felt that gathering medicinal qi was unlikely to be the only requirement for a month.
Only, he didn't expect the system to release a long term mission.

In addition, what was a >? It didn't sound like it was necessary for medicine refining.
On the contrary, it seemed a little like…a martial skill.
But, did pharmacists have martial skills?

Subsequently, Gu Zuo recalled a certain matter.

He remembered that on the second day of his arrival, Gu Zuo intended to tell his patron about the existence of the system.
Besides wanting smart people to help in its a.n.a.lysis, it was also for the sake of paving the way for future missions later on… However, he was preoccupied with finding a treatment method for his patron and completely forgot to confess.

Up until now, his patron probably still only believed that he obtained the three prop books through a fated meeting…

Gu Zuo was very embarra.s.sed.

Otherwise, wouldn't taking the chance to tell his patron while he was soaking in the medical decoction just scatter his attention?

Thinking about this matter in particular, he took a look at the > from his storage s.p.a.ce.
After discovering that the thing inside was completely incomprehensible [5], he was even more resolute.

Some things had their specialized field of study!

Medicine refinement was his specialty, and using his brain…was his patron's specialty.

Rather, it looks like a drum barrel, with high walls and a small circ.u.mference just enough for one person.
Although, I can't tell if there's a built in seat for Tianheng, or if he's sitting directly on the base.
