Chapter 2

Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill.

The row of words was not in a huge font, but it exuded an ancient and profound aura like the six paths of reincarnation.

Xia Zhuyuan was stunned.

At that moment, she had forgotten where she was and what the time was. It was as if she was immersed in the Great Dao, comprehending Heaven and Earth.

Creak.

It was not until the sound of the door opening was heard that Xia Zhuyuan snapped back to reality.

Then, she saw a lady villager leading a rather handsome young man in.

“Oh my, young lady, why are you awake?” Aunt Li was a little surprised.

Chen Xuan also looked at Xia Zhuyuan.

Well, just as Aunt Li described, the lady had big breasts, and a big butt, seemingly able to give birth to a son.

However, she was not injured.

She was nowhere close to the “on the verge of dying” state that Aunt Li had said.

Instead, she was standing there, looking at the Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill that he had made for Aunt Li’s husband.

“Ahem, young lady, you can’t take this medicine.”

Chen Xuan walked over and very politely took the bottle of Six-flavor Rehmannia Pills from Xia Zhuyuan’s hands.

He was trying to say that the medicine was for men and women couldn’t take it, but Xia Zhuyuan mistakenly took it as an understatement that the medicine was expensive and Chen Xuan didn’t want to give her any.

After returning the medicine, Xia Zhuyuan looked at the two.

Aunt Li looked like an ordinary person, so ordinary that she couldn’t be any more ordinary.

As for Chen Xuan…

She couldn’t see through him at all.

Even though she had already become a Martial God, she still felt as if she was staring into an abyss when she looked at Chen Xuan.

So, he was the one who saved her?

Thinking of the magical effects of the band-aid and the Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill, Xia Zhuyuan immediately explained, “I have no intention of coveting the medicine, I just picked it up to take a look, please don’t blame me, senior.”

It had been three years since Chen Xuan came to Dama Village, and the uncles and aunties in the village all called him Xiao Chen. To suddenly be called “senior” by a fair-skinned, beautiful young lady with an extraordinary aura, Chen Xuan’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

He hurriedly said, “You’re too kind, miss. Aunt Li said that you’re not feeling well, and I happen to have some medical skills. Why don’t you let me take your pulse and see how you are?”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, senior.”

As a high and mighty Empress, Xia Zhushan had been very resistant to men in the past.

However, when it came to Chen Xuan, she subconsciously reached out her hand.

At this time, she had not realized that the effect of the Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill was not as simple as just “replenishing blood qi”.

Plop.

Chen Xuan’s hand came into contact with her porcelain-like fair and smooth skin.

In an instant, Xia Zhuyuan felt as if she had been brought into another world.

It was as if Heaven and Earth had become chaotic, and only she and this man were spiraling between Heaven and Earth. Everything in the world was blank, and only the two of them existed.

“This is amazing! Is this Dharma impartment? Is the senior imparting his Dharma to me by taking my pulse?”

Xia Zhuyuan was shocked!

It was said that experts had the ability to pass on their cultivation, learnings, and Dao to others through physical contact.

Such Dharma imparting ability would evolve in many ways in the advanced stages.

For example, dual cultivation, Dharma impartment through pulse checking, will inheritance, and so on!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xia Zhuyuan’s body seemed to be exploding. Her eight extra-meridians, will, learnings, Dao, realm, and primordial spirit were all greatly shocked.

Buzz…

At a certain moment, Xia Zhuyuan’s consciousness became clear and she actually entered the “anatta state”.

As the saying goes, in the “atta state”, one observed things with one’s perception. In contrast, in the “anatta state”, one observed things as they were.

The whole world became clear again, and Xia Zhuyuan’s cultivation was improved and stabilized again.

Xia Zhuyuan was shocked.

This was already the third time she had been shocked since waking up.

In her shock, the Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill’s medicinal effect seemed to be stimulated once more. The medicinal power flooded her again, and her blood qi surged uncontrollably and gushed out.

“Sh*t! I’m bleeding.”

The Empress blushed.

There was too much blood qi, so she could not suppress it.

As a result, the blood leaked through other means.

She felt a wave of warmth.

“Damn it.”

How many years had it been since she had experienced such a thing?

To think Aunt Flo had come to visit at a time like this.

She remembered that during her first time, she had used silk pads.

Later on, she found it too troublesome and simply evaporated the blood with spiritual power.

When the smell of blood appeared around female cultivators, it might not be due to anger or killing intent. There was a chance that her period had come.

It was just that such a thing at such a time was just too embarrassing.

The flow this time was surprisingly heavy too.

It was like a gushing spring.

“Hmm?”

Chen Xuan looked at Xia Zhuyuan and felt her pulse. He revealed an expression of understanding.

Regardless of all else, he had studied medicine for three years under the influence of the system.

He did have the ability to read pulses.

No wonder Aunt Li said that the lady was bleeding non-stop. So this was what she meant.

Ahem.

Even though it was awkward.

However, among all the rewards he had received in the past few years, the system had given him some female-use items.

“Young lady, please do not feel embarrassed to see a doctor for your illness. I apologize if I may be offending you,” Chen Xuan retrieved a Nines Sanitary Pad from his system storage and handed it over, “This is for day use. Use it, for now. On top of that, I’ll make you some brown sugar syrup. It should help with your symptoms.”

The lady’s body was still too weak. To think she would even faint in front of Aunt Li’s door when her period came.

Sigh.

Chen Xuan sighed.

The Empress looked at the angel-wings-like item in Chen Xuan’s hands.

Looking at its shape, she could vaguely guess its use.

This was the first time in her life that she actually blushed.

She took the day-use Nine Sanitary Pad and said, “Thanks.”

Then, she ran away with a red face.

“You’re leaving just like that?”

Aunt Li came out and saw that Xia Zhuyuan was gone. She said with some regret, “Xiao Chen, what did you give her? Why did she run away out of fright? I had wanted her to be your wife.”

Chen Xuan didn’t expect to scare the lady away.

However, he didn’t take it to heart. After all, the lady would only know how useful the sanitary pad was after using it.

When she got used to it, she might come back to ask for night-use ones.

…

In the palace back in the imperial capital, Xia Zhuyuan looked at the sanitary pad in her hand uneasily.

“The senior gave me this. Could it be that he’s really giving it to me to use for my period? …No, I’m probably overthinking things. That senior was able to save my life and help me breakthrough. His strength is unfathomable. Why would he spend time on women’s matters like this?”

But if not, what was this thing for?

Just as Xia Zhuyuan was still puzzled, Nightingale, the commander of the Embroidery Pavilion, her sentinel, ran in with a panicked expression.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Xia Zhuyuan said.

“How could you not bring an Embroidery sentinel with you? You’re invaluable. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to the millions of people in the Wu Dynasty?” Nightingale complained.

In the entire palace, she was the only one who dared to speak to the Empress in such a manner.

“Oh, there’s the smell of blood in the air.”

Nightingale’s eyes became sharp.

Xia Zhuyan glanced at her, “Don’t be anxious. It’s just my period.”

“Alright.”

Nightingale relaxed, but she was still worried about the Empress’s health.

This was because, judging from the intensity of the smell of blood in the room, the Empress’s volume this time was truly a little terrifying.

Then, she saw the angel-wings-shaped sanitary pads on the Empress’s table.

She couldn’t help but take a step forward and size it up.

“Your Majesty, what is this? It’s so soft and it smells so good.”

“I don’t know either,” Xia Zhuyuan shook her head.

“Your Majesty, please have some tea. Oh my, Your Majesty, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I deserve to die!” At this moment, the maid who served tea to the Empress accidentally spilled the tea on the sanitary pad.

“Hmm? The tea has been absorbed.”

Xia Zhuyan did not blame the maid. She seemed to have discovered something new and ordered someone to bring a pot of water.

She poured the whole pot of water on the sanitary pad.

“It has all been absorbed!”

The Empress was shocked.

She then got someone to bring a few large buckets of water and poured them onto the sanitary pad one by one.

One bucket.

Two buckets.

Three buckets

….

Ten buckets!

As more and more water was poured onto and absorbed by the sanitary pad, the Empress and Commander Nightingale were both shocked.

It was hard to imagine that the thin piece of pad that was only the size of half a palm could absorb ten buckets of water.

And from the looks of it, it seemed like it could continue to absorb more liquid.

“What’s this? Could this be a magic item?! The expert gave me a magic item, but I thought it was… for that. This is too embarrassing!”

The Empress’s face turned red again.
