Chapter 552: Origin of the spiritual dewdrop

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Cousin, you’re sweating a lot. You have to drink more water.” Yu Youyao held her teacup and moved closer to her cousin. Seeing that he was still very weak, she said, “I’ll feed you.”

Zhou Linghuai seemed to be really tired and couldn’t muster any energy. He leaned against the couch and waited for Yu Youyao to bring the cup to his lips and carefully feed him.

After drinking a cup of water, the faint fragrance of lotus lingered in front of his mouth.

Zhou Linghuai frowned. “If you use too much spiritual dewdrop, will it harm the body?”

The effect of the spiritual dewdrop was not very powerful. If it was used alone, it would only have some effect of strengthening the body and expelling poison. Once the poison in the body was removed, it would make ones ears and eyes sharp, and one’s body feel light. Many powerful Chinese medicines could also achieve the effect of expelling poison. However, the effect was not as obvious as the spiritual dewdrop.

Yu Youyao also knew this, so she rarely used it alone. Instead, she used the spiritual dewdrop to make medicinal herbs and spices to unleash the effect of the spiritual dewdrop better.

However, he did not believe that there was a benefit in the world that had no drawbacks.

He hadn’t noticed anything unusual before, but recently, Yu Youyao had been using the spiritual dewdrop more than before. He was worried that it would be bad for his health if she ate too much.

At this point, Yu Youyao was also a little puzzled. “I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere. It’s just that in the past year or two, the spiritual dewdrop usage seems to have increased a little. I can use four to five drops a day, but I don’t feel uncomfortable. I wonder what’s going on?

Zhou Linghuai already knew the origin of the spiritual dewdrop.

It was originally a mysterious Kunlun Jade that Eldest Madam Xie had brought from her maiden home. It had been carved by Grandmaster Hui Neng of the Precious Peace Temple.

Later on, because of this pendant, it triggered a sisterly conflict.

Old Madam Yu had punished Yu Youyao to kneel in the temple hall. For some reason, Yu Youyao had fainted in the temple hall. She had a high fever and was unconscious for a day and a night, almost losing her life.

When she woke up, Yu Youyao’s Buddha pendant had already reached her forehead. There was a blood jade lotus flower in it. Each flower and leaf would produce two to three drops of spiritual dewdrop every day.

Zhou Linghuai had some guesses that he still needed to confirm. “Is it possible that it has something to do with your increasing age?

Previously, Yu Youyao was young, so there was a limit to how much she could use?

Yu Youyao shook her head. “That shouldn’t be the reason. The increase of the spiritual dewdrop isn’t without warning. Actually, it has been imperceptibly increasing in the past year or two. It’s just that its origin is more mysterious. When I use it, I can’t help but be cautious. Every time I need it, I’ll use it in moderation. When I don’t need it, I won’t use it, so I didn’t notice it.”

After her cousin found out about the origins of the spiritual dewdrop, he had also reminded her, “You have to be vigilant about things of unknown origins. But don’t be too vigilant. From the looks of it, the spiritual dewdrop can only be good. It doesn’t do you any harm. If you don’t take it from the heavens, you’ll be punished. However, you still have to know how to use it.”

She agreed deeply.

Yu Youyao continued, “It was also by chance that I discovered later that there was humid water vapor on the lotus petals. It was a little like steam. As the water vapor increased, it would condense into dew. It seemed to have nothing to do with age. Sometimes, there was more, and sometimes, there was less.

There should be a specific reason, but I didn’t notice it.”

This was how the spiritual dewdrop was produced.

Zhou Linghuai was deep in thought. “The child Buddha sits on a lotus jade pendant. It’s a Buddhist treasure that can’t be separated from Buddhism. I remember you telling me earlier that when you were young, Grandmaster Hui

Neng of the Precious Peace Temple had once read your fate and said that if you show your virtue, you can reach nirvana. It’s very likely that the amount of spiritual dewdrop condensed is related to your virtue. Do good deeds and care for the blood jade lotus flower. More spiritual dewdrop will be created.”

Zhou Linghuai had been familiar with the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism since he was young. He had even dabbled in unfathomable witchcraft scriptures. Although he was curious about such a mysterious matter, he was not surprised.

This world was so vast. There were countless things in the world, and there were always secrets that exceeded the imagination of mortals.

However, everything in the world changes.

There were many strange things about Yu Youyao.

Firstly, Grandmaster Hui Neng was the leader of the Six Wise Monks of the Precious Peace Temple. He was already a peerless eminent monk, but he actually made an exception and carved a jade pendant for Yu Youyao.

At that time, Madam Xie had just married into the Yu Residence.

But!

A man would wear a Guanyin pendant and a woman would wear a Buddha pendant. A jade pendant of a child Buddha sitting on a lotus was more suitable for a child. Clearly, Grandmaster Hui Neng had already deduced that Madam

Xie would have a daughter. This jade pendant was carved for Yu Youyao.

Zhou Linghuai’s gaze landed on Yu Youyao’s wrist again.

The sparkling and colorful blood beeswax prayer beads circled her thin wrist like armbands. Small beads matched her fair wrist. They were incomparably delicate and beautiful.

It was said that this string of blood beeswax prayer beads had been personally sent by Old Madam Yu to the Precious Peace Temple to be blessed by Grandmaster Hui Neng.

Old Madam Yu even asked Grandmaster Hui Neng to take a look at Yu Youyao’s

life. The Grandmaster, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth for a little girl. “If you show your virtue, you can reach nirvana!”

What was nirvana?

Buddhism believed that perfection of merit was nirvana.

But!

It was commonly believed that only phoenixes could undergo nirvana.

A peerless monk like Grandmaster Hui Neng was like a rotten cabbage in front of Yu Youyao. He could be invited at any time.

Fortunately, Old Madam Yu was smart and had been hiding it. Otherwise, just based on this honor, Yu Youyao would have long become famous in the world.

She might even have a “natural phoenix fate” and enter the central palace.

Previously, Mr. Xian Yun had also talked about Yu Youyao. “Fate is extremely precious. If you can do good deeds, you will definitely be able to have a good beginning and end!”

Not only that, but Mr. Xian Yun had also vaguely reminded him that this little cousin of his was not ordinary. If he did not protect her carefully, even he would not be able to protect her from her fate.

Many strange things were all done by one person. Many things seemed confusing, but in fact, it was not too complicated. Everything had become very simple.

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened. “Cousin, you mean that it’s because I’ve done a lot of good things in the past two years that the spiritual dewdrop has increased?” She had a vague feeling that her cousin’s deduction made sense.

Zhou Linghuai had been thinking about the origins of the spiritual dewdrop for more than two years. With this speculation, it was not groundless. “That should be the case. In Buddhism, lotus flowers symbolize holiness, beauty, and charity. The lotus flowers symbolize ten good practices of Bodhisattva…”

Before her cousin could finish speaking, Yu Youyao couldn’t wait to ask, “Which ten good practices?

She couldn’t be blamed for being too anxious. The main reason was that this mysterious thing was rooted in her mind. Although it was a good thing, it always made her feel worried.

Her cousin studied Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism at the same time. He was also very proficient in Buddhism.

Moreover, her cousin was knowledgeable. Since he had said this, there must be a reason. Thinking about it carefully, the increase in the spiritual dewdrop seemed to have started two years ago.

What had she done then?

A charitable hall had been built in the capital!
