Chapter 91: Circus Monkey
While Anji spent the next three weeks strengthening different muscles and increasing her stamina under her father’s tutelage, Yan Ping made steady progress with her recovery.
Initially, she thought it was troublesome to drink persimmon leaf tea daily when she was racing against time to recover her cultivation base. However, it was a token of gratitude from her disciple. Hence, the blind prophet drank it.
Over time, she slowly realised the difference the persimmon leaf tea had on her body. Anji must have gained more medical knowledge from Doctor He. How else would she know persimmon leaf tea was great at improving blood circulation and digestion and could aid in recovering Yan Ping’s physical condition?
After nearly a month of isolated recovery, Yan Ping finally regained enough power to reach the Refined Core level. Some people claimed that it was easier to regain a lost cultivation level if it was attained once. However, Yan Ping disagreed. Just because she knew what to do did not mean the process was any easier. If anything, it was more frustrating to know what must be done but have no ability to make further progress due to physical limitations.
Maybe she was getting on in age.
"Sect Leader Yan," Gu Ying greeted. "I’ve brought your meal for today."
Coming out from her meditative state, Yan Ping picked up her staff and slowly uncrossed her legs.
"Come in," she croaked, feeling her throat parched.
The first thing she did before eating was to ask about Anji’s progress.
