After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Lin Zhixu felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, "It's alright, I'm tough, I won't die that easily. But you, I just got here and I saw you putting on a brave face. I think Chu Yan is right, you've just recovered, so take a break for a couple of days."

Zhou Tong awkwardly touched his nose and muttered under his breath, "Why are you saying that too? I'm not made of paper. I've rested for so many days, I'm really fine..."

Lin Zhixu chuckled: "Only someone who loves you would worry about you so much. Besides, the elders have given you a holiday, so you might as well cherish this rare vacation."

Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Chu Yan, her ears turning slightly red, and obediently responded.

Chu Yan was also embarrassed and dared not look at him.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Zhixu couldn't help but smile again.

"Alright, I'm relieved to see you're alright. I need to go see Jiang Che later, so I'll be going now."

Zhou Tong immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

Lin Zhixu shook his head: "No need, you should rest well, I can go by myself."

Zhou Tong had no choice but to say, "Alright then. I went to see him yesterday. He was more seriously injured than me, but with Elder Xuanqing taking care of him personally, he should be fine now."

Lin Zhixu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned and left.

……

Danfeng is still the same as before.

No, it should be said that it's even more innovative than the old one.

This was the first time he had stepped into Danfeng's territory since he was struck by lightning.

Now the plaque on the door has been repainted, the stone steps have been replaced, and everything has been restored to its original state, with no trace of damage visible.

He went up the stone steps and arrived at Elder Xuanqing's alchemy pavilion.

The disciple guarding the door recognized him at a glance and quickly bowed.

Lin Zhixu returned the greeting: "Please trouble you to go in and inform him, Senior Brother. I've come to see Senior Brother Jiang Che."

The disciple agreed and turned to go inside. He returned shortly after, trotting out and respectfully saying, "Elder, please come in."

Lin Zhixu thanked him and stepped into the inner hall of the Dan Pavilion.

He was stunned as soon as he entered the door.

Inside the main hall, Elder Xuanqing was chasing Jiang Che around the room, carrying a bowl of medicine.

Jiang Che was only wearing his undergarments and his face was still a little pale, but he ran very fast, dodging left and right around the pillar.

"Jiang Che! You stop right there! Drink your medicine!" Elder Xuanqing was sweating profusely with anger, chasing after him while yelling, "I poured my heart and soul into making this medicine for you, and you dare to complain? Do you know how many people outside would kill for this!"

Jiang Che ran while shouting back, "Master, don't make it sound so noble! Anyone who didn't know better would think you doted on me! You're clearly using my body to test drugs!"

"With your medicine, even a healthy person would get sick after drinking it! I suspect you're doing this on purpose!"

Elder Xuanqing masked his guilt with anger: "You unfilial disciple! You're becoming more and more lawless! How dare you slander your master's painstaking efforts! You have to drink this medicine today, whether you like it or not!"

Lin Zhixu stood at the doorway, unsure whether to go in or back: "What...what are you doing?"

Only then did the two notice Lin Zhixu's presence, and they both stopped moving in unison.

"Ahem." Elder Xuanqing was the first to react, straightened his back, straightened his crooked clothes, and tried to put on an air of otherworldly elegance. "It's Zhixu. You've come at the right time. I'm feeding your Senior Brother Jiang his medicine. He's not fully recovered yet and needs to take his medicine on time."

Jiang Che rolled his eyes and mercilessly exposed him: "Junior Brother Lin, you've come at the right time! Quickly save me! My master is abusing his power, using me as a test subject for his medicine. You have no idea, the medicine he gave me yesterday was so bitter my tongue is still numb!"

"The main problem is that his medication has all sorts of bizarre side effects, making it impossible to guard against them!"

Elder Xuanqing was furious: "You traitor! What kind of drug-testing puppet is that! That's called an improved drug! Haven't you heard that good medicine tastes bitter?"

"But you can't make someone feel nauseous for three days straight!"

"You're feeling nauseous because your injury hasn't healed yet!"

"My injury healed a long time ago, it's just that your medicine made me weak!"

The two started arguing again, exchanging words back and forth.

Lin Zhixu stood at the door, feeling helpless.

"Um... how about I come another day?"

"No!" The master and apprentice said in unison.

Elder Xuanqing glared angrily at Jiang Che: "You're deliberately making yourself a laughingstock! Get back to your bed right now!"

Jiang Che pursed his lips, went back to bed, and silently mouthed, "If you're a brother, stay and save me."

Lin Zhixu: "..."

He suddenly regretted coming here.

Elder Xuanqing placed the medicine bowl on the table, composed himself, and finally regained some of his elder's authority. He said to Lin Zhixu, "Ignore that scoundrel. You're here to see Jiang Che, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, he's fine, he's very lucky. There's just a trace of residual poison in his body, but I'm using medication to slowly remove it, and so far it's working well, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Zhixu nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you for your trouble, Elder."

Elder Xuanqing chuckled, "You're too kind. It's best if you're all well. By the way, how are you feeling? I heard you were corrupted by demonic energy at the altar?"

"But you seem to be better now, right? Just in case, come over here and let me take a look at you."

Lin Zhixu's fingers twitched almost imperceptibly, but his smile remained impeccable: "Thank you for your concern, Elder. I'm fine now; my master has already treated me. Senior Brother Jiang, you still need to trouble yourself, so I won't bother you any further."

Elder Xuanqing, hearing this, didn't insist any further and nodded: "That's good. Yu Linzhou, aside from anything else, certainly has a lot of good stuff. Since he cured you, he must have done a more thorough job than I could."

Lin Zhixu timely changed the subject, asking, "I just heard the elder say that Senior Brother Jiang refused to drink his medicine? Is it because the medicine is too bitter?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che, who had been lying like a corpse, immediately sat up and sneered, "What's bitterness? Bitterness is the least of our worries. This medicine is newly formulated, and while its effects are good, the side effects are terrible. I was almost too ashamed to show my face because of it."

Lin Zhixu became increasingly curious: "What side effects are so severe?"

Jiang Che choked up for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Seeing him stammering and rolling his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, Elder Xuanqing answered for him impatiently, "So what if it makes you gasp and fart after drinking it? What's there to be embarrassed about! You call this a side effect? ​​If it weren't for this medicine, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"

Jiang Che's face flushed red: "What do you mean 'small problem'! It keeps going all day long, and it's loud and smelly! The disciples of the Pill Pavilion are all looking at me differently! Don't I have any dignity left?!"

Elder Xuanqing was not at all intimidated and said confidently, "Doesn't that just mean the medicine is working? It's a good thing that the turbid qi in the body is being expelled! You should be secretly happy! I haven't even complained yet, but you're already complaining."

Jiang Che: "...Tell me the truth, you don't mind?"

Elder Xuanqing: "..."

Okay, he was disappointed.

That's because Jiang Che's farts really do smell terrible.

It seems the medicine still needs to be improved.

...At the very least, the farts shouldn't smell that bad.
