    Gu Chengrui spent some time ying with the children before sending them off to ss. He then retreated to the study, meticulously recording the exquisite prescriptions gleaned from his nine past lives.


    News of Gu Chengrui’s awakening reached the pce, eliciting a heavy sigh of relief from the Emperor. “Two days off is too little,” he dered. “Grant him five days to recoverfortably at home.”


    “Your Majesty’s kindness will be ryed to my lord,” Lin Yifan responded gratefully.


    “Go. Fetch him some tonics as well,” the Emperor instructed Eunuch Qian. He then dispatched another eunuch to inform the Empress, who immediately burst into tears upon receiving the news.


    The pressure of the past two days has been immense. While she enjoyed the Emperor’s favor, Gu Chengrui’s absence threatened her sole source of support at court.


    With him gone, whispers of selecting new consorts would surely resurface, jeopardizing herfortable position.


    Back in their residence, Gu Chengrui simply smiled upon receiving the Emperor’s extended leave and the delivered tonics.


    By nightfall, he continued working diligently and had sessfully memorized and stored all the prescriptions within his space.


    Zhou Ying, finishing her tasks, found Gu Chengrui rxing outside the vi’s shade, sipping tea while engrossed in medical texts. “You’re incredibly fast,” she remarked as she approached.


    “My current divine sense is much broader than yours,” he exined. “Memorizing those prescriptions was a simple task.”


    He poured her a cup of tea. “Come, rest for a while. I have something to discuss, Qing’er.”


    “Don’t make me feel awkward,” she chuckled.


    “ThenYing’er it is.”


    “Whatever,” she replied, taking arge gulp of tea. Gu Chengrui, surprised, swiftly refilled her cup.


    “I want the children to start cultivating immediately,” he announced. “The earlier they begin, the stronger their foundation will be. Guoguo, especially, is already a bit behind.”


    “But what if someone discovers them cultivating?” Zhou Ying expressed her concern.


    “Don’t worry,” Gu Chengrui assured her. “I’ll ce seals on them to prevent them from revealing anything.”


    “Fine, I trust your judgment. Make the arrangements.”


    “Excellent. Later, I’ll retrieve two jade stones from the interspace and carve pendants with spirit gathering formations for the children. Remind them to wear them at all times.”


    “I’ll remember.


    “Wait, you can ess the warehouse?”


    “Naturally, anyone with divine sense can ess it.”


    “In that case, why don’t you look for what you need and also gather anything we might require soon?”


    Zhou Ying finished her tea as Gu Chengrui waved his hand, materializing a palm-sized imperial jade she had bought earlier. He tossed it into the air, where it spun rapidly, shattering into jade dust before reforming into five jade pendants.


    He presented three pendants to her. “These are for Gu Wanning and her son. While they can’t cultivate, wearing them will nourish their bodies.”


    “You’re quite considerate of them,” Zhou Ying acknowledged with a nod.


    “Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed,” Gu Chengrui replied enigmatically.


    Zhou Ying rolled her eyes yfully, but still tucked the pendants away.
