CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 166: NO WONDER THEY SAY A DAY APART FEELS LIKE THREE YEARS

After Feng Qiwu finished speaking, he left the dungeon without expression.

Ling Xi and the others glanced at Consort Li, who was filled with horror, and then followed suit and left.

In their hearts, they had already sentenced the Crown Prince of Qi, Qi Hao, to death.

To offend His Highness, what does it matter even if he is the Crown Prince of Qi?

You will be destroyed just the same.

...

After Feng Qiwu left the dungeon, he did not return directly but asked Xiao Quanzi, "How is the inspection of the spirit roots of the people in the Seven Star Tower going?"

Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi immediately, respectfully handed Feng Qiwu a booklet, "Reporting to Your Highness, due to time constraints, I only had time to check some of the people. Here are the spirit root test results of all the people near the Capital City, in which there are one hundred thirty-one with single spirit roots, five hundred eighty-nine with double spirit roots, and one thousand six hundred with triple spirit roots..."

As for those at a farther distance, there wasn’t enough time to check them in the short term.

Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly after hearing this.

The cultivators under his command seem to be quite numerous.

However, it can also be foreseen how many people will be able to cultivate once the Star Power is fully restored.

But fortunately, he greatly benefited from Witch Doctor Gu He and obtained many cultivation techniques from his Star Ring.

Although these techniques were not as high as the so-called Nine Yin Scripture, they were just suitable for his subordinates to cultivate now.

Thinking of this, Feng Qiwu slightly nodded and then took out some cultivation methods, saying, "From today on, distribute these mental methods based on their spirit roots, and let everyone memorize them!"

Thus, when the Star Power is fully restored, they will naturally be able to enter into a state of cultivation.

As to why not let them try cultivating now?

Naturally, because the Star Power is still too thin at this time. Besides him, even extraordinary individuals like Ling Xi with single spirit roots cannot yet gather this nearly non-existent Star Power.

But he estimates that by the time Ling Xi and the others can successfully absorb Star Power, the world will undergo a tremendous change.

...

Seeing Feng Qiwu conjure a pile of mental methods out of nowhere, Xiao Quanzi suppressed his excitement and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Then he hurriedly hugged the thick stack of mental methods with happiness, not feeling tired at all.

At this time, Ling Xiao returned.

"Your Highness, your subordinate has returned," Ling Xiao stepped forward to salute.

Feng Qiwu nodded slightly, then asked, "Is there a problem with Susu’s side?"

"No, the Crown Princess Consort has already started acting according to the prescription she wrote, letting me return to follow her steps," Ling Xiao said.

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu raised an eyebrow and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go, I’ll also go and take a look."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ling Xiao promptly responded.

Afterward, the group re-entered the secret chamber under the Eastern Palace.

Feng Qiwu kept many Death Warriors, so the space under the Eastern Palace was naturally not small.

And now, a great quantity of rotten oranges was piled inside.

These rotten oranges had been deliberately left to rot after puncturing the skins according to Feng Qiwu’s earlier orders in the northwest.

After entering, Ling Xiao instructed, as Bai Susu had done before, "Everyone put on masks and rubber gloves first."

They were already in a basement, and now with so many rotten oranges piled up, it was not good for breathing.

Then, Ling Xiao said to a group of apprentices in the Seven Star Tower, "Be careful, watch how I do it. This is very important, and there must be no sloppiness. Understand?"

The apprentices quickly nodded, showing nervous expressions.

Even the Crown Prince himself has come here, how dare they not be serious?

Then they watched as Ling Xiao used a bamboo sheet to scrape the mold from the orange skins bit by bit.

Although the apprentices did not understand, they had long been accustomed to following orders without question, thus quickly picking up the rotten oranges and scraping off the mold as instructed by Ling Xiao.

Seeing they were working meticulously, Ling Xiao then paused his actions and instructed the cooks to prepare rice and taro juice.

After cultivating all the mold in earthenware jars, Ling Xiao finally relaxed and told Feng Qiwu, "The Crown Princess Consort said we only need to wait another seven days."

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu could only nod, "I understand."

He didn’t actually know what Susu was trying to do.

But whatever she was preparing to do, he would support her unconditionally.

...

That night, when Feng Qiwu went to find Bai Susu, he saw her reading the Alchemy Heart Method of Witch Doctor Gu He by the coal fire.

"Susu, do you want to practice alchemy too?" Feng Qiwu stepped forward to ask.

Throughout history, there have been Alchemy Masters.

Before Da Qin, there were several emperors from other dynasties who ultimately perished due to the art of alchemy.

Therefore, alchemy was classified as a wicked and fringe art, unworthy of serious attention.

When Bai Susu saw Feng Qiwu come over, she smiled and said, "No, I’m just looking at the differences between ancient alchemy and modern herbal prescription writing."

In essence, whether it’s alchemy or writing prescriptions, both use various medicinal herbs.

However, alchemy extracts the essence, while now people decoct the herbs to drink the medicinal liquid.

But she must admit that alchemy is a technical skill that cannot be compared with modern herbal medicine.

Moreover, even if she wanted to practice alchemy, she didn’t have the conditions for it now.

...

Feng Qiwu nodded after hearing this, and once Chuntao and Nuoxia left of their own accord, he embraced Bai Susu and couldn’t help but say, "It is strange, I clearly saw you during the day, but I always feel like it’s been a long time since I last saw you. No wonder some say that not seeing each other for a day feels like three seasons have passed; the ancient people did not deceive me."

Hearing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but grin.

"Maybe it’s because we’ve been together every day recently, so you’re not used to it?"

Not only was Feng Qiwu not used to it, but she herself wasn’t quite used to it either.

When reading, she couldn’t help but glance to her side, because Feng Qiwu was usually by her side.

"You’re probably right, so now I wish the wedding could be moved forward," Feng Qiwu sighed.

"Alright then, even after the wedding, we can’t always be glued together every day. You should pretend to go to work... to court, and only come home at night," Bai Susu laughed.

Furthermore, being together every day might quickly exhaust the feelings.

Once the honeymoon phase is over and they enter the flatness, what if they can’t handle it?

So it’s better to take it slow and steady.

Feng Qiwu raised an eyebrow when he saw her quickly correct her slip of the tongue.

Going to work?

So that’s what they call going to court?

...

Bai Susu didn’t know that Feng Qiwu had overthought. She cautiously glanced at his expression and was relieved when she saw he was just calmly looking at her.

Another slip of the tongue.

Fortunately, Feng Qiwu didn’t ask her what "going to work" meant.

She couldn’t keep attributing everything to those ancient books with forgotten titles and such.

Then she quickly said, "It’s getting late, let’s go to sleep."

"Hmm." Feng Qiwu didn’t expose Bai Susu’s slip of the tongue, smiling as he carried her to bed.
