Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

A strong medicinal aroma wafted in the air as Zhan Chen heated the medicinal herb. A thick medicinal liquid came from the medicinal herb as he kept heating it with precise control.

It took five minutes to extract the medicinal herb. Then he picked up another one and treated it as before. Whole process took him an entire hour. Beads of sweat drops were rolling out from his head as he finished with all the spirit medicines. ​​

His face was pale but still a grin appeared on his face. "My injuries will be gone after this", he thought to himself.

"Chen-er, what are you doing? Can I come inside?

Zhan Chen smiled after listening his mother's voice. "Mother, please come in", he replied immediately.

Li Qingzhao pushed upon the door and came inside. She looked curiously at Zhan Chen. "Chen-er, what are you doing?", a curious look appeared on her face.

"Mother, I am preparing a medicinal bath for me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile. "Hmm, what a good smell. what have you added in it?", Zhan Qingzhao's curiosity rose after she took in the aroma of medicinal herbs.

"Mother, I can move again after taking this medicinal bath", Zhan Chen looked at his mother with a smile.

"Chen-er, are you joking with your mother? How can a medicinal bath heal your body?", Li Qingzhao spoke softly as she reached her hand to tousle his hair.

It was obvious that she wouldn't believed him because even the vice-head of alchemy association failed to do so. She thought Zhan Chen was telling lies to make her feel better. A affectionate look appeared on her face as she looked at Zhan Chen.

"Chen-er, what did you want to eat tonight? I will personally prepare it for you", Li Qingzhao smiled at Zhan Chen. "I want to eat roasted duck", Zhan Chen replied with a excited look on his face.

"Ok, then. I am going. I will tell the maids to help you with your bath", Li Qingzhao left with a smile on her face.

"No one believes an honest man", Zhan Chen shook his head. Maids came over and helped him to enter the bath tub.

Zhan Chen sat in the bathtub leisurely as medicinal essence entered his body. His hidden injuries started to heal on their own. Zhan Chen let go his all of the worry and focused on absorbing the medicinal essence mixed in the bathtub.

He circulated the medicinal strength into all parts of his body. "What is this?", his brows furrowed as he noticed a problem.

He noticed that the medicinal strengths couldn't circulate properly inside his opened meridians. His soul consciousness entered his body and he felt extreme rage as he witnessed the scene inside.

He show the convergence meridian which was just above his dantian region fractured. From the look of it, he immediately deduced it was not fractured naturally but someone had did it with malicious intention.

He wracked his brain to recall anyone striking his dantian region. A incident appeared on his mind as the look on his face turned ugly.

"No wonder I couldn't progress in these five years", he thought to himself. He recalled betrayal in his past life and his eyes grew cold. "I was indeed too naive. I had not noticed the ugly side of cultivation world untill the last moment", he thought to himself.

"Fortunately it is only a crack. It is still treatable with these medicinal essence", he thought to himself. He guided the medicinal essence with his soul energy and let it flow towards his convergence meridian.

The fractured meridian didn't show sign of healing immediately. Zhan Chen guided the the medicinal essence patiently. Beads of sweats started to appear on his head as he kept using his soul.

What Zhan Chen was doing was impossible for many people. It needed delicate control over soul energy. As a genius in alchemy, he had experience in using soul in such a manner. Otherwise he couldn't have healed his meridian even if he used a third grade or fourth grade pill.

His meridian showed sign of recovering after fifteen minute. It took almond half an hour to fully heal. Zhan Chen had a pale look when he was finished with his meridian. He was already gasping in last ten minutes. It was clear that the consumption of his soul strength was enormous in the treatment of his meridian.

Zhan Chen felt dizzy but he still greeted his teeth and held on. He couldn't sleep as he was still absorbing the medicinal essence from the bath tub.

"Young master, what are you doing?", came the curious voice of a little girl. Zhan Chen smiled after listening the voice of Little Tao.

"Little Tao, I am busy in doing something. Come back when it is time for dinner", he replied in a soft voice. He gained some colour in his face after an hour. He was still absorbing the medicinal essence from the bath tub. There were many cracked bones inside his body. Zhan Chen didn't want to leave any hidden injury. So, he waited patiently to absorb all the medicinal strength from the bath tub.

It took another hour to fully absorb the medicinal essence. Zhan Chen tried to move himself this time but he felt pain all over his body. "I can't be rash. The medicinal essence needs some time show its effect", he thought to himself.

He called for the maids and they helped him to move back to his bed. After sometime Li Qingzhao entered with little Tao. Zhan Qingyue was following them from behind.

Zhan Chen saw Qingyue and a smile appeared on his pale face. He was not immature like Zhan Qingyue. He was previously unsure but after seeing her emotion for him, he knew what to do.

Zhan Qingyue didn't look at his eyes. She quickly took look at him and then lowered her head. What happened today was still vivid in her mind. So, she was too shy to talk to him.

"Chen-er, let's have dinner together", Li Qingzhao spoke with a smile. Zhan Chen nodded and Li Qingzhao started to prepare their dishes. Little Tao and Zhan Qingyue helped her.

Zhan Chen felt his hunger flared up after Li Qingzhao uncovered the roasted duck. Soon, dishes were prepared and everyone started eating the roasted duck.

"Mother's cooking is best", Zhan Chen said with a smile. Little Tao and Qingyue nodded their head in agreement.

"Mother, I want to ask you something", Zhan Chen looked at his mother.
