Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin의 모든 챕터: 챕터 531 - 챕터 540

Lucia's voice was as light as a sigh. "There are still many incredible things. Once you become the family head, you'll come into contact with more and more of them."She looked at Isolde, her gaze suddenly heavy. "Isolde, being the family head means you must nourish the medicinal plant with your blood. Can you bear this responsibility?"Isolde lowered her head and studied her palms.They were fair and slender, marked only by faint calluses on her fingertips from typing. Those were the only signs of labor.'If I have to cut my flesh and draw blood every day…' The thought alone made her flinch.She looked up, hesitated for a long moment, then spoke. "May I ask how often blood must be drawn? And how much? If it's too frequent, if it becomes too much of a torment… I'm sorry, but I may not have that strong a spirit of sacrifice."Lucia froze for a moment, then she laughed.Her smile looked eerie on her withered face, but her eyes softened. "You're certainly honest. "Rest assured, onc

Isolde had looked at medical books when she was a child.When she picked a major for her college entrance exams, she skimmed a few introductory medical textbooks but put them down after just two pages. The herbal remedies, pharmacology notes, and drug interaction warnings gave her a headache. They interested her far less than coding.At first glance, the book appeared even more complex, ancient, and overwhelming.Even so, Isolde accepted it politely and opened it. As expected, it was filled with intricate pharmaceutical knowledge.Phrases such as “sweet and warm,” “energy channel tropism,” “ascending, descending, floating, and sinking,” and “sovereign, minister, assistant, and courier,” along with the “seven emotions of compatibility,” crowded the pages in dense blocks that made her head spin.What surprised her was that after a single reading, the content seemed to come alive and settle naturally in her mind.She did not simply memorize it. She understood it. The knowledge felt

Isolde walked into the classroom and set her books on the table.She tilted her head toward the apprehensive Mimi and smiled. "Mimi, do you perhaps have a misunderstanding about me? I pitied that child, but… if it were me, I wouldn't have saved him either."A pill that could bring a person back from the brink of death was likely a once-in-a-lifetime treasure, no different from a second life. To use it to save a grandnephew? One would hesitate even for a biological son.Mimi froze for a moment, then laughed."Lady Isolde, you're quite honest. It's fine to say this in front of me, but don't let others hear it. Although this is human nature, most people are unreasonable, especially when someone…" She gave a cold laugh. "Especially when someone is trying to be a saintess."Yesterday, Aurelia had produced a Regeneration Pill and saved that child in public.The child did not even have much of a connection to her. That single act pushed truth, goodness, and beauty to an extreme and won

Isolde rubbed her temples to ease the throbbing from the swelling, then stood and walked toward the door.Though the knowledge had flooded in with violent speed, it settled into something like instinct the moment it took hold in her mind.She had the strange sense that it was not learned, but remembered....The academy had its own pharmacy in the northeast corner.The space was vast. Rows of medicine cabinets lined the walls, each fitted with tightly packed drawers labeled with drug names.The air was thick with the scent of herbal medicine, bitter, pungent, and sweet, all mingling in a concentration that refused to dissipate.Isolde stepped inside and took a deep breath.In the past, the smell would have made her sneeze. Now, it stirred a faint sense of familiarity.She began preparing the prescriptions.The first prescription was for a cold-damp joint condition. She moved to the cabinet, her gaze scanning the labels as her hand went unerringly to a drawer.'Notopterygium

"One day—just one day—and you fully grasped all the foundational theories. You can even formulate your own prescriptions. T-This is unheard of. You're a true genius in medicine! You were born for the way of medicine!" Gideon praised.He stood, straightened his robes, then stepped back and offered a formal salute. "Lady Isolde, it is my honor to teach you. From today on, I will devote all my strength to passing on everything I have learned."Isolde hurried to steady him and replied politely, "Archon Valecion, the honor is mine. I will work hard and learn well."Gideon nodded repeatedly and gathered the books on the table. "Good, good, good! Come, I'll take you to the Anatomy Room. Recognizing herbs is not enough."You must understand the human body. Practicing medicine without knowing what lies inside is like a blind person trying to describe an elephant by touch."As he spoke, he strode outside.Isolde quickly followed....In the corridor, Gideon led with long, rapid strides,
