Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Genius Young Lady vs. Reborn Concubine-born Daughter (Part 30)
The first thing Cheng Lingyu did upon returning to the Second Prince’s Mansion was to research how to consume the Mystical Profound Pill and what preparations were needed.
Fortunately, the Second Prince didn’t care about her at all, and the servants in the mansion knew that this master wasn’t favored. She didn’t have many hobbies, preferring to read books, so no one paid her much mind. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIꜰire.net
Cheng Lingyu leafed through several ancient texts, all of which stated that the Mystical Profound Pill should be swallowed directly.
Moreover, it would take effect quickly, with results appearing overnight, whether it was a success or a failure.
However, the effect of this Mystical Profound Pill is very intense, and when it takes effect, it will be very painful, and it must not be disturbed. Therefore, it’s best to find a quiet environment.
A quiet environment? That would be impossible at the Second Prince’s Mansion.
Cheng Lingyu picked a time to tell the mansion’s steward that she wanted to stay at an estate on the outskirts of the city for a while to relax.
When she said this, her tone was very plaintive, reminding the steward of the news that had just circulated today about the Second Prince fancying a Flower Maiden at the Drunken Moon Tower.
It seems she’s upset.
The Second Prince had previously instructed that, unless it was something important, the back courtyard should be fully entrusted to the steward. So, the steward didn’t report to the Second Prince and just ordered a few capable guards to accompany her to the estate to ensure Cheng Lingyu’s safety.
Cheng Lingyu successfully arrived at this rarely visited estate.
Since she was a woman, the guards only stood outside the courtyard, not entering, which was very convenient.
She informed them in advance that she would wake up late in the morning and asked them not to disturb her, to which the guards all agreed.
That evening, Cheng Ling sat on the bed, looking at the jade vial for a long time. Finally, she pulled out the jade stopper and took out a smooth, round jade-colored elixir from inside.
After another moment of contemplation, she stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.
At first, she felt nothing, but gradually, a heat emerged from her dantian. The heat wasn’t obvious initially but soon intensified, reaching a scorching level, and then spread throughout her entire body.
It was as if with a “boom,” something inside her was switched on. Her whole body, from head to toe, including her internal organs, skin, and even each strand of hair, felt scalded.
Extreme pain spread through her body, as if countless blades were tearing at her flesh beneath the skin.
Cheng Lingyu knew this was the process of reshaping her Root Bone.
She couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. Back when she was still the Mercenary Queen, she had been ambushed and chased for seven days and nights, with her calf pierced by a bullet that wasn’t treated in time. Even when it became red, swollen, and festering, she didn’t frown.
Such pain was nothing compared to now.
Her consciousness was already muddled by the pain…
Realizing this, she suddenly bit down hard on her tongue, using the last bit of her remaining strength.
It was just adding one more source of pain, but this action allowed her to barely regain a bit of clarity.
She couldn’t fall into a coma, otherwise, she might never wake up again.
She secretly encouraged herself, having paid so much and plotted for so long, finally seeing a glimmer of success. How could she allow herself to falter at this final step?
