Chapter 61: Her Cinnabar Field Has Been Rendered Useless

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After hearing Su Ji’s diagnosis, Feng Xiuyu opened her eyes wide, and her face twisted with rage.

“Mother, it’s that despicable girl! She’s the one who rendered my cinnabar field useless! It’s her! Kill her now! Go!” When she’d been fighting Feng Tianlan, she’d felt her cinnabar field burst. She was sure that the despicable girl must have done something to her. Ruthless girl!

Feng Xiang was shocked. He took a step back, then asked in an agitated and trembling voice, “Doctor Su, can you check again? Did you make a mistake?”

Yu’er was a genius, how could her cinnabar field now be considered useless? It cannot be true! It cannot be true! It simply cannot be, Feng Xiang thought.

Si Rong was so shocked that he could not even speak. If this prodigy’s cinnabar field was ruined, her meridian channels were weak and thin, and she was unable to train anymore, didn’t that make her a useless person? Did that mean that he, the great Third Prince, was about to marry a piece of trash? If, besides the Fengs support, there was no other benefit in marrying Feng Xiuyu, should he still marry her?

It angered Su Ji that Feng Xiang did not accept his diagnosis. He immediately showed his displeasure on his face but tried to remain calm as he said, “Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to heal her. I ask that the Feng Clan Head finds a more powerful doctor to look at her.”

He was the best alchemist in all of South Peace City, but Feng Xiang still doubted him, which made him angry. Feng Xiang saw that Su Ji was getting ready to leave, so he quickly went to him and said in an apologetic voice, “No, please don’t misunderstand. You know that Yu’er is a genius. Plus, her abilities rank higher than Feng Tianlan’s. So, even if she’s hurt, she can’t be so severely injured that her cinnabar field is ruined, her meridian channels are weak and thin, which means she’s now…she’s a…”

He couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘she’s a useless person now.’ He felt that, if he said it, then it meant that he believed it. Su Ji started to feel bad for them as he heard Feng Xiuyu screaming and wailing in rage, while Feng Xiang looked at him with hope in his eyes. Their daughter’s current situation resembled falling from heaven into h.e.l.l. It was a hefty blow, indeed, so he sympathized with them.

“Father, go and kill that girl for me! She hates me, and that’s why she destroyed my cinnabar field! Father! Kill her! Kill that sl*t!” Feng Xiuyu continued screaming uncontrollably, unable to accept the truth that she had become useless.

Su Ji frowned and said, “Third Miss ate some illegal medicine, and that’s what caused your cinnabar field to implode and your meridian channels to become weak and thin. This was not caused by external forces.”

He’d been the doctor on standby during the battle between Feng Tianlan and Feng Xiuyu. So, he’d seen what had happened and knew that the damage had not been caused by an external force.

“No, I’m sure it’s her! I’m sure it’s that sl*t!” Feng Xiuyu continued to scream furiously. I can’t become a useless person. I can’t accept this. I can’t—she thought to herself. She kept screaming with bloodshot eyes: “Even before I ate that pill, I could already feel my cinnabar field bursting, so I’m sure that sl*t did something!”

Even if her cinnabar field had imploded because she’d taken illegal medicine, it was still Feng Tianlan’s fault. If Feng Tianlan had just let herself be killed, she would not have needed to take the prohibited medicine, and her cinnabar field would not have imploded. So, this was all Feng Tianlan’s fault! Feng Tianlan was the one who’d turned her into a useless person. She was not going to let Feng Tianlan off the hook!

After listening to what she said, Su Ji pondered for a while before asking, “What has Third Miss eaten recently? After looking at your cinnabar field, I feel like there might be some other reason.”

He was unable to pinpoint exactly what was wrong. Yes, illegal medicine could have very well caused it, but it could have also been something else. He was unable to provide confirmation.

“She took a Marrow Cleansing Pill, a Spirit Boosting Pill, and a…”

Feng Xiang was too embarra.s.sed to say that she had also eaten an illegal substance, which the Battle Ring strictly prohibited.

Su Ji understood where Feng Xiang was coming from. Still, he asked, “Exactly what medicine did Third Miss eat?”

Different illegal pills had different side effects. Before he could diagnose what exactly had ruined her cinnabar field, he needed to know which one she’d eaten.

“It’s a Level Advancing Pill. Within two hours, her power will advance by one level.” Seeing that Feng Xiuyu was still screaming incoherently, Xu Jiayi answered on her behalf.

Feng Xiang stared at Xu Jiayi and asked suspiciously, “Where did Yu’er get that sort of pill?” Level Advancing Pills were outlawed entirely, and it was illegal to consume them.

Xu Jiayi did not answer Feng Xiang and continued to console Feng Xiuyu. The Level Advancing Pills were items kept by her own family. She had always known what Yu’er’s limitations were. So, she’d intended to give one to Yu’er when she reached a point where she couldn’t advance her skills anymore. Once Yu’er reached a level beyond her abilities, then she could be just like her older daughter and make it into Flying Frost Pavilion without needing to pa.s.s any tests.

After that, to cover up any side effects of the pill, Xu Jiayi had planned to find an opportunity to claim that Yu’er had been injured in a fight. At that point, since the Flying Frost Pavilion would have already considered her one of their own, they would have been able to heal her.

In any case, she’d been meant to use the pill much later. She had not expected Yu’er to be so impatient to win and use it so soon. This was a miscalculated move! The girl just couldn’t check her temper!

Feng Xiang threw Xu Jiayi a cold stare, then looked back hopefully at Su Ji. He said, “Doctor Su, can her cinnabar field and meridian channels be healed?”

As long as they could be restored, he was willing to pay any price. After all, with one more strong fighter at his side, he had a better chance of becoming the strongest in all of South Winds Nation.

Seeing that Feng Xiang had asked so sincerely, Su Ji replied honestly, “There is a Restoration Pill that can heal damaged cinnabar fields, but it is extremely hard to find. Also, you have to eat one Nurturing Pill per day until you get your hands on a Restoration Pill. Only then can there be any hope of restoring her cinnabar field.”

Obtaining one or two Nurturing Pills was easy, but eating one a day would even empty the country’s reserves. Nurturing Pills were expensive!

“Would any grade work?” Feng Xiang asked hurriedly. If she needed at least Grade 7 and above, it would be extremely hard to accomplish this, even with all the money in the world.

Su Ji nodded. Then, he returned to the topic of illegal medicines, saying, “Third Miss’ cinnabar field did not implode due to any external forces. Nor was this particular illegal medicine the cause. It’s possible that some other pill, which she consumed before, caused this. But I am not able to detect what went wrong. Feng Clan Head, you will have to find out who gave her this poison yourself.”

The side effects of Level Advancing Pills include weakened meridian channels and an inability to train, but they did not include imploding cinnabar fields or an inability to gather spirits. Feng Xiuyu must have eaten something else that caused this.

Little did they know that Feng Tianlan had coated the Marrow Cleansing Pills that they’d bought with two pieces of Spiritual Crystal with poison that smelled similar to the pills. This was the poison that had caused Feng Xiuyu’s cinnabar field to implode. If they ever found out, Feng Xiang and Feng Xiuyu would die from rage. They had spent a fortune only for Feng Xiuyu to effectively turn into a useless person!

“Poison!” Feng Xiang clenched his teeth and threatened, “If I find out who poisoned my daughter, I will make his life a living h.e.l.l!” He thought: Who could be so cruel? This heartless person has turned a genius to trash. Even if he dies a thousand times over, it won’t be enough to dissipate my anger.

“Big Brother Rong…” After she finished a bout of screaming, Feng Xiuyu finally came to her senses and started to think about what she should do.

Feng Xiuyu immediately started crying and looked at Si Rong, who had not uttered a single word. She used her most understanding and magnanimous voice and said, “Big Brother Rong, I’m now a useless person, and I’m not worthy of you. You should marry my elder sister, after all…”

As she continued to sob, Feng Xiuyu was certain that Feng Tianlan had destroyed her cinnabar field because she was jealous that Big Brother Rong liked her.
