Frailty and a Ferocious Armlet (Part I)

Seeing that Lu Erniang was still pondering, Flower Lady spoke up first. "This Madam Bai's constitution has never been good. Because of her innate frailty, she cannot withstand harsh medical treatments, and even acupuncture and breath-regulation are useless. Several physicians we consulted all said it requires a life of luxury and leisure to slowly nurse her back to health." The so-called life of luxury and leisure meant nothing more than meticulous care in clothing, food, housing, and travel, using various slow-acting, resource-intensive methods to consolidate her root and nourish her foundation. Spices and the like were precisely one of the most crucial links in this. Is that so? Yu Ci lowered his head and pondered, finding it rather strange. Did Flower Lady arrange such a romantic formation today just for this trivial matter? It was fine that he was thinking, but Lu Erniang beside him assumed he was putting on airs, and said with a bold surge of spirit, "If Grandmaster Jiu Yan has any considerations, just bring them out! Whatever I can do, I certainly won't decline." Lu Erniang promised so readily that it only made Yu Ci even more suspicious. Yet he knew better that guessing wildly in his heart served no purpose, so he simply smiled and responded with equal readiness. "Since Master Lu is giving me such face, if I refuse again, I wouldn't know what's proper. May I ask what kind of incense that Madam Bai needs?" Flower Lady and Lu Erniang exchanged glances, both revealing expressions of joy as Lu Erniang spoke. "It is Cloud Born Incense." "Cloud Born Incense?" Yu Ci searched through the various records from the Unnamed Incense Scripture and quickly found the corresponding entry. The raw materials and preparation methods were extremely detailed, which instantly made him feel more relaxed.
