The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife
chapter-1869

The test results for his son’s spiritual roots were already in. He possessed the wind, metal, and fire attributes, with both metal and fire being of the innate sky spiritual root variety. Such extraordinary talent was scarce, even within the Bai Family.

Lin Peiyun reflected on her despair and uncertainty just a few days ago. With everything turning around, her gratitude toward Xi Yue deepened even more.

Seeing Bai Yingfan still circling their son with a foolish expression, she couldn’t help but scold him gently, “Husband, did you remember to pay Miracle Healer Xi’s consultation fee?”

“Oh, right, right! I almost forgot!” Bai Yingfan snapped back to reality and quickly pulled out an antiqued bronze box. He handed it to Xi Yue with great respect, saying, “This is the consultation fee and token of gratitude we have prepared for Miracle Healer Xi. Please accept it.”

Xi Yue took the box without a hint of formality, promptly opening it to see what was inside.

As soon as she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise. It turned out that the box was a storage device, and it was divided into four sections.

The first compartment was filled with a substantial number of crystal stones. Xi Yue estimated there were roughly 20,000 of them.

The second compartment held a dozen bundles of tender, yellow herbs. Xi Yue recognized them immediately as [Moonlight Herb], a common plant on the Siam Continent. This herb was essential for crafting many lower-tier elixirs like spirit healing pills and meridian cleansing pills, which were frequently found on the market.

Although these young seedlings weren’t particularly valuable on their own, the sheer quantity of them represented a significant cost.

Xi Yue’s mood brightened instantly. She realized that many pharmacists and doctors on the Siam Continent had personal herb gardens for growing common spiritual herbs. By giving her so much [Moonlight Herb], Bai Yingfan must have assumed she had a personal garden as well, especially since [Moonlight Herb] had a very short growth cycle.

That was indeed the case. As long as she planted the [Moonlight Herb] in the Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field, it would take only half a month to grow enough of the primary herbs needed for the spiritual healing pill and meridian cleansing pill.

In the third compartment was yet another spirit plant—a small, vibrant green tree. The moment Xi Yue saw it, even her usually composed demeanor couldn’t contain her excitement, making her momentarily forget about the Bai Family’s token jade slip in the fourth compartment.

Xi Yue recognized the small tree from the Record of Everything—it was a Soul Nourishing Tree sapling. Once matured, it would emit an aura that could soothe and repair the soul. Mature Soul Nourishing Trees were ranked above level 10, and finding even a fragment of one was exceedingly rare among the prestigious families on the Siam Continent. Owning such a tree would be immensely beneficial to cultivators, making its value immeasurable.

“This is far too precious to be used as a consultation fee,” Xi Yue said, moving the box aside with a complex expression. “Please take back the Soul Nourishing Tree. The other items are more than sufficient, even exceeding the value of the consultation fee.”

Bai Yingfan chuckled and shook his head. “The Soul Nourishing Tree is indeed valuable, but that’s referring to the mature tree. A sapling like this is of no use to my family. It takes thousands of years to grow a mature Soul Nourishing Tree, and there’s a risk of it dying if not cared for properly. It would be a waste to keep it here. It’s better off with Miracle Healer Xi.”

Xi Yue fell silent for a moment before softly saying, “Thank you,” as she carefully put away the Soul Nourishing Tree sapling.

With her Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field, the growth rate of her spirit plants was not just a modest increase like other doctors’ herb gardens. Her field accelerated growth by a hundred times. With the addition of Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring water for irrigation, she might soon see a mature Soul Nourishing Tree.
