My wife is a reborn big boss

"Does the Jishi Sect have a grudge against the Medicine King Valley?" Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow. Fortunately, he could still move his facial features, otherwise he would really be a human-shaped pillow.

This wasn't the case in the previous game; the background story only stated that the two families used to be from the same sect, but later split due to differences in their ideologies.

In the game, Medicine King Valley sells high-priced medicines, while Jishizong runs a medical clinic.

Dying in the game will reduce your maximum health and mana, which can only be restored by going to the Jishi Medical Clinic.

"The Jishi Sect split off from Medicine King Valley; they were originally one family." Bai Xuanji rubbed her temples. "Later, some disciples who had entered the world to refine their hearts successfully forged their hearts and entered the Innate Realm, and the internal strife in Medicine King Valley began."

"Could it be?"

"It's the one you're thinking of," Her Majesty the Empress said with a smile. "These disciples, seeing that poor people couldn't afford medicine, launched a fierce attack on the valley's high-priced medicine policy after they were forged in the Heart Forging Bureau. I suppose their Heart Forging Bureau was a test of their own conscience."

It started as criticism, but then escalated into arguments, and finally turned into a bloody fight.

Although Medicine King Valley is considered a first-rate sect, the top sects in the martial arts world respect their medical skills and miraculous medicines, but as for their martial arts... well, let's just say they're not as powerful.

She chuckled twice and continued, "Perhaps because they couldn't withstand the inner torment, Medicine King Valley doesn't have any masters of the 'Daoist Natural Realm'."

Now things are much better. There are many more disciples in the valley who have successfully cultivated their hearts and minds at the Innate Realm. When they fight, they are evenly matched, and perhaps the older generation of Innate Realm cultivators will have a slight advantage.

However, most of them didn't break through to the Innate Realm through the Heart-Forging Bureau; they relied on refining divine medicines to forcibly achieve this breakthrough. Therefore, as long as those disciples aren't foolish, they will eventually gain control of Medicine King Valley.

"But they can't stand it." Wu Qiong sighed. "It's easy to guess that if we continue to follow the rules of Medicine King Valley, their Dao hearts won't accept it. But if we want to change Medicine King Valley, they will clash with the conservatives."

"Ah Qiong is right," Her Majesty the Empress continued. "So these disciples led a group of their fellow disciples who shared their ideals to rebel against Medicine King Valley and, with the ideal of healing the sick and saving lives, founded the Jishi Sect."

Jie Se also solemnly said, "Among the sects of this world, there are not many that I admire, but the Jishi Sect is one of them."

Ye Qingxuan nodded: "I also greatly admire the actions of the Jishi Sect. They charge high prices when treating the wealthy, but very low prices when treating the poor."

With a gentle smile, he said, "It's not that they refuse to accept money from the poor, nor that they deliberately charge exorbitant prices to the wealthy. Life is of equal value, so the fees they charge are also of equal value to the patients. If a poor person has only one hundred copper coins, they will charge one; if a wealthy person has millions in assets, they will only charge ten thousand. This practice is in accordance with the principle of equality for all beings, therefore I say they are worthy of respect."

"Truly admirable," Wu Qiong exclaimed.

I never imagined that the balancing act in the game of my past life would turn out like this in this life.

That's right. In the previous game, the lower your level, the less game currency you need to spend at the Jishizong Medical Clinic; the higher your level, the more game currency you need to spend.

There's nothing wrong with that, after all, when we make games, balance is the key!

The main issue is that the game is still in closed beta; otherwise, it wouldn't be in-game currency...

"Is the Jishi Sect going to attack Medicine King Valley?" Li Jianshi frowned.

She was informed by the people from Zhaixing Tower that Wu Qiong was in imminent danger on her way back to the sect. Without thinking, she turned around and returned to the capital, so she was unaware of the matter.

"Not bad." Bai Xuanji nodded, then frowned slightly: "Originally, I was going to personally go and retrieve the 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core,' but I have to take care of A-Qiong and handle state affairs, so I really can't get away. Moreover, the Great Zhou has just been established, and the officials and powerful figures are all busy with their own affairs and have no time to spare. I am currently having a headache and don't know what to do."

"I'm sorry, but due to my master's reasons, I am unable to visit Brother Wu to ask for medicine," Ye Qingxuan said with difficulty.

"Under normal circumstances, I would simply offer the Great Rejuvenation Pill in exchange," Jie Se said, stroking his bald head. "But the situation at Medicine King Valley is complicated right now, and I cannot even protect myself. This..."

"Why should you two apologize? You owe me nothing. I am already very grateful to you both. There is no need for you to put yourselves in danger because of me," Wu Qiong comforted the two.

Li Jianshi pursed her lips and said, "I can go."

Wu Qiong refused: "No, it's too dangerous."

Li Jianshi was deeply moved and comforted Wu Qiong, saying, "It's alright, Brother Qiong. I am a direct descendant of the Xuantian Sect. Neither of them would dare to harm me. If they did, only destruction awaits them."

"That's right. It might not be so certain if someone else went." Bai Xuanji narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "This little girl will definitely be fine if she goes."

Because she knew that Medicine King Valley was a subordinate sect of Xuantian Sect, specifically responsible for accumulating wealth for Xuantian Sect.

Because of their bad reputation, Medicine King Valley and Xuantian Sect have no apparent relationship.

"The 'Entwined Heart Glazed Stamen' is about to bloom. There's no time to lose; I must go to Ningzhou now." Without time to say goodbye, she glanced at Wu Qiong, who seemed hesitant to speak, then turned and left, leaving only one sentence:

"Poor brother, wait for me."

Wu Qiong watched her departing figure, his brows furrowed.

Her Majesty the Queen comforted him, "Ah Qiong, don't worry, this little girl will be alright."

This girl is a direct descendant of the Xuantian Sect. Going to Medicine King Valley is like going to her back garden. What danger could she possibly face?

Seeing that Wuqiong still looked worried, she sighed inwardly but smiled and said, "Aqiong, she will be alright. This is my promise to you."

She promised not to harm Li Jianshi, but she didn't care about making things difficult for her, since Zhaixinglou hadn't just notified one person.

A girl dressed in black barged in, and Lu Xiaohuang scurried after her, shouting, "You can't come in!"

"You received the news too?" That's right, this is the secret weapon Her Majesty the Empress used to deal with Li Jianshi! The future leader of the Demonic Sect, Su Mubai!

Su Mubai ignored her and simply stood five meters away from Wu Qiong, staring at him blankly.

She could no longer see anyone else.

Bai Xuanji pouted and turned to tease Lu Xiaohuang, who was about to cry: "Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaohuang."

Lu Xiaohuang shivered, knelt on one knee, and buried her head deeply: "Your...your humble servant is here."

Her voice was trembling with tears.

"Have you forgotten what I said?" Her Majesty the Empress smiled enigmatically. "It seems you really want to serve Ah Qiong in bed."

"No!" Lu Xiaohuang raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears. "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

She really didn't know Wu Qiong well...

Her Majesty the Queen stopped teasing her and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, you may leave."

Although she never intended for Lu Xiaohuang to serve her in bed, how dare she so disdain the man Bai Xuanji had her eye on! This was intolerable, and she had to teach her a lesson.

See? Sometimes a woman's temper is completely unreasonable.

Lu Xiaohuang fled in panic, and just as she stepped out of the gate, she heard the Empress's voice behind her:

"Remember to wash it clean."

She stumbled, but ran even faster, her mind racing as she went:

"His Majesty told me to leave, but then told me to wash myself clean... Does this mean he wants me to serve him in bed, or not?"

It's obvious that someone will be up all night again.
