A mother sacrifices for her child without ever considering whether it is worth it.
In the same way, when a child understands and cherishes their mother, any sacrifice they make becomes worthwhile, and any suffering endured is without regret.
Wei Yuan does not know how the Ice Fire Palm performed by Wu Zhenyu's character Jiang Yulang in the movie version of Peerless Beauties was cultivated, but he has now fully realized that it must be something like this.
The basin filled with Blue Elixir continuously emitted cold air and water vapor, undoubtedly because the temperature had reached an extremely low level. However, strangely enough, it had not yet solidified into ice.
The temperature here was definitely lower than zero degrees in ice water, but that was not the hardest part. After all, with only his hands submerged in the cold medicinal liquid, Wei Yuan was at least still moving as he repeatedly rubbed his mother's legs to ensure the medicine worked effectively on her.
Rubbing his mother's legs with his hands generated some warmth, preventing him from feeling as if his hands were completely frozen, which was not too arduous.
However, the Blue Elixir contained substances that acted like catalysts, so the coldness came on very quickly, and it dissipated only after a short time. After catalysis, the speed of the three reactions would increase significantly.
At this moment, Wei Yuan was already anxious because this chilling sensation would not last long, yet his mother seemed to feel little change.
Through his own hands, Wei Yuan sensed that there was actually very little Morphine Ointment in the Blue Elixir that provided a calming and pain-relieving effect. His hands were about to freeze; if there were more Morphine Ointment present, this sensation could not be so intense.
"Damn it, the dosage of Morphine Ointment is still too low; its effect is not very obvious. Why is this stuff so hard to find?"
On one hand, Wei Yuan was suffering greatly and wanted to curse himself for not collecting and producing more Morphine Ointment to add to the medicinal liquid before continuing his work.
On the other hand, even though he felt enveloped by a wave of coldness, he was internally frantic to the point where sweat was almost breaking out.
Clearly, since the Morphine Ointment's effect was not apparent, logically speaking, his mother should be feeling quite cold. However, upon seeing her expressionless face, Wei Yuan noticed that it seemed as if her feet were soaking in warm water.
"I can't believe this; please stop messing with me."
Wei Yuan kept shouting inwardly. He was so anxious that his hands did not pause for a moment; instead, they moved faster and faster as he frantically wiped his mother's feet with a towel soaked in Blue Elixir.
"Ha..."
Suddenly, Wei Yuan heard a sound; it turned out that his mother had finally reacted with a shiver after a series of responses. It seemed that it was indeed having an effect.
"Mom, how are you feeling? Do you sense anything?"
Wei Yuan did not stop his scrubbing but couldn't help but ask.
Wu Shuzhen's lips trembled slightly as she replied, "It's a bit cold."
That's great.
Wei Yuan's heart was filled with joy; finally, his efforts were not in vain. After infusing the Transparent Substance formed by the Third Form and Restorative Power into the medicinal liquid, he used a towel soaked in the liquid to wipe his mother's feet. As a result, the Transparent Substance still entered her body, and after strong catalysis, it truly began to take effect.
What he initially thought were insensate legs now felt a hint of chill. Wei Yuan quickly said, "Mom, this is a normal reaction from the medicinal liquid; it means the medicine is working."
Everyone present, including Wu Shuzhen, let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They all understood that this meant Wu Shuzhen could feel cold in her legs again after six months, which perhaps indicated that there was hope for her recovery.
With this reasoning, they were easily convinced. Wei Yuan continued with his work, filling a basin with Blue Elixir; the chill became increasingly intense.
Although Morphine Ointment was added to reduce bodily sensations, he still felt as if his hands were frostbitten. However, when Wei Yuan saw that his mother's face began to show signs of distress, he finally felt at ease.
This proved that his mother's legs truly felt this coldness and were beginning to struggle against it. This was because the Transparent Substance formed by Restorative Power had completely entered her body and was even starting to take effect.
However, Wei Yuan did not stop his work entirely; instead, to enhance this effect, he continuously drew Restorative Power from the two Dark Cloud Substances through the Mist-like Space in his consciousness and infused it into the Blue Elixir.
The increase in energy further promoted the reaction, making Wei Yuan feel that the chill in the medicinal liquid deepened even more. However, gradually due to the catalytic properties of the liquid, this reaction did not last more than five minutes.
In about two minutes' time, Wei Yuan's hands transitioned from an extreme cold sensation to a new extreme reaction, akin to the heat of a volcanic eruption.
This was the second reaction: Burning Volcano.
At this moment, amidst such an intense reaction of the medicinal liquid, Wei Yuan felt as if his hands were being roasted on a grill. The exaggerated heat made him break out in a sweat.
At first, since his hands were still icy cold, this high temperature barely felt like torture. But as the sensation began to be enveloped by the intense heat, Wei Yuan started to experience an overwhelming desire for self-destruction.
It was an absolutely cruel torment; under such high temperatures, one couldn't help but think: it would be better if I just died.
Fortunately, after a minute, Wei Yuan's mother, Wu Shuzhen, who had been shivering continuously before, began to sweat on her forehead.
The effect of such a large dose of Transparent Substance mixed into the medicine was incomparable to previous experiences, especially after it entered her body, the reaction was significantly stronger.
Wei Yuan noticed that his mother Wu Shuzhen's neck started to sweat profusely, almost soaking her clothes completely. Her eyes began to redden, and her face flushed as well.
Of course, this reaction could also be seen in Wei Yuan, although it was not as pronounced. Clearly, both mother and son were facing a difficult trial.
Though only a few minutes had passed, it felt like centuries under the extreme heat, and all they could do was endure.
The primary function of the medicinal liquid was as a catalyst, which directly led to the second most difficult reaction. After enduring for three minutes, it finally came to an end. Once they got through this phase, Wei Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
For his mother, the third reaction was actually the simplest. The third reaction involved feeling an unbearable itch and discomfort in the area where Restorative Power was applied.
For someone with broken legs and little sensation, this itching response did not cause much pain; rather, it was Wei Yuan who felt somewhat uncomfortable.
His mother Wu Shuzhen remained in her wheelchair. Although she began to feel something unusual in her legs, her nervous system had already suffered some damage, so this reaction was not intense.
However, continuously extracting Dark Cloud Substance from the Mist-like Space and amplifying the reactions meant that Wei Yuan was now facing the consequences of his actions.
After soaking his hands in the medicinal liquid for such a long time, he could not escape a similar reaction. Although under the influence of Restorative Power, Wei Yuan felt some changes in his hands.
Indeed, they became whiter and cleaner; even the skin felt delicate and smooth, as if he were a newborn baby.
It turned out that the Third Form of Restorative Power itself served to repair the human body. Therefore, no matter which part of the body it came into contact with, it would take effect by restoring every organ to its optimal state.
As is well known, a man generally would not consider how to take care of his hands. Wei Yuan was no exception; compared to the girls he knew, his hands were definitely rough.
However, after soaking in the Blue Elixir infused with Third Form Restorative Power, he immediately noticed an improvement in the condition of his hands' skin.
This sparked an idea in Wei Yuan: what if he added Third Form Restorative Power to a solvent and marketed it as a skincare product? Would that be feasible?
But soon enough, his mind lost its ability to think clearly because the third reaction began. Due to the excessive amount of Transparent Substance soaked in the medicinal liquid, this third reaction became particularly intense.
Wei Yuan's Mother still had limited reactions due to the sensory issues in her legs, but Wei Yuan, as a normal person, was enduring a lot of pain.
At that moment, he felt as if his hands were poisoned, suddenly becoming extremely itchy. The itchiness was at least ten times worse than the first time he used Restorative Power to heal his foot injury.
As a result, Wei Yuan became quite comical, scratching his left hand with his right and then scratching his left hand with his right, both hands busy and chaotic. Xie Ge, Lan Xue, and Xie Yufei thought he was joking and burst into laughter.
They believed that since Wei Yuan looked like this, it meant the treatment was very successful.
However, Wei Yuan felt quite wronged. Just after refining the Ice Fire Palm, he was now starting the Itchy Divine Skill. Was he not allowed to live?
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain. After five minutes, he felt the itchiness in his hands had disappeared. This indicated that his mother, Wu Shuzhen, should be experiencing the same thing, meaning that this time the healing of her legs was successful.
Although it wouldn't take effect immediately, he had extracted all the available Restorative Power from the Third Form Dark Cloud Substance within the Mist-like Space. He believed it could have a long-term effect in his mother's body.
In no more than three months, Wu Shuzhen would at least no longer need to use a wheelchair. This was already the greatest comfort for him as a son.
However, after most of the newly formed giant Dark Cloud Substance had been extracted, it began rapidly absorbing the surrounding Dark Ink-colored Mist to replenish its losses.
Moreover, it showed an increasing trend, and as more and more Dark Ink-colored Mist gathered around, Wei Yuan even felt a bit excited. If the Light Ink-Colored Mist completely disappeared, what kind of changes would occur?
The level of Restorative Power capable of healing the human body was already quite extraordinary. Next, it seemed that the color of the Dark Cloud Substance was also becoming darker. What other situations might arise?
For now, although Wei Yuan thought of many possibilities, he could only wait with a sense of anticipation for these changes. He no longer dared to act too hastily.
Although there were no unusual sensations brought by the changes in the Mist-like Space, thinking back on that experience which felt like a massive explosion still made him feel a bit fearful.
Fortunately, there were no issues with his mother's healing process; this was something to be grateful for. After tidying up what he had on hand, Wei Yuan said, "Let your body slowly absorb the effects of the medicine; it will take effect after some time."
Although everyone did not doubt Wei Yuan's words, they still found it somewhat unbelievable. Even the city's renowned orthopedic hospital concluded that complete healing was impossible.
Yet here was Wei Yuan, claiming that just one bottle of unknown medicine would show results after some time. Wasn't that too exaggerated?
This left everyone feeling puzzled. However, since Wei Yuan had such confidence and had previously healed Zhang Sheng's mother with great success, it naturally gave them a boost of reassurance.
After everything was tidied up, everyone kept quiet about the matter. From Wei Yuan's words, they understood that this was a long-term treatment method and would not yield immediate results, so there was no need to continue the topic and burden Wei Yuan further.
Thus, everything returned to the post-dinner situation, with everyone chatting and watching TV in the living room. At this moment, Lan Xue's glance at her watch caught Wei Yuan's attention, and he realized it was already ten o'clock at night.
Although the Blue Old Man was pretending to be foolish, Wei Yuan believed that the old man was actually more clear-headed than anyone else. He also knew that at this time, it would worry the old man if a girl like Lan Xue went outside.
Just as he was about to sit for a while longer before sending her back, it seemed that the old man did not allow it; suddenly, a heavy downpour began.
The sound of rain hitting the roof was clearly audible outside, especially near Cousin's pharmaceutical processing factory, where part of the roof was made of iron sheets and rubble, making the raindrops sound even crisper and louder.
"It's raining," Xie Yufei reminded them.
However, everyone had already noticed, especially Lan Xue, who frowned slightly and said, "Oh no, how am I going to get back?"
At this moment, Xie Ge followed up on her words: "It looks like it's a sudden heavy rain. Even if you drive back in this weather, it might not be safe on the road."
As he spoke, he unexpectedly winked at Wei Yuan, and Wei Yuan immediately understood.
Cousin was in business and often had to ship goods, so he occasionally paid attention to weather forecasts. His earlier insistence on having Lan Xue stay a little longer was likely because he anticipated that it would rain soon.
Of course, his intention was not just out of concern for Lan Xue's safety on the road but rather to keep her here. Since there were only four rooms available—one had already been given up for Wei Yuan's mother to stay in—each of them had their own room, leaving one room for Wei Yuan and Lan Xue to share.
Xie Ge had long noticed that although they were a couple, with Wei Yuan being so dense, their relationship probably hadn't developed to that point yet. So he took this opportunity to help them get closer.
In any case, at this moment, Lan Xue surely wouldn't want Wei Yuan to drive her home in such weather; she would have to stay here for the night. Meanwhile, Xie Yufei had already been sent off to bed by Cousin and was told to pretend to be asleep no matter who knocked on the door.
This was to prevent her from opening the door and letting Lan Xue sleep in the same room with her; otherwise, it would waste Xie Ge's efforts. Besides, Wei Yuan originally planned to stay here for two months during summer vacation and discuss strategies with Cousin before taking action against Xu Feng and his group.
So he wasn't planning to leave anyway. In his bag were not only a bottle of Blue Elixir and silver needles but also some personal clothing items.
At this moment, the two were forced into the same room. The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping; it seemed they could only stay here for the night. To avoid any awkwardness for her, Wei Yuan took the initiative to go take a shower first. However, while in the bathroom, he felt that the impact of the water flow could not wash away the impure thoughts in his mind.
With such help from the old man and a heavy rain providing an opportunity for a lone man and woman to be alone together in one room, how could they let this chance slip away?
With the full cooperation of Cousin, how could Wei Yuan bear to disappoint this elder who was so devoted despite his age? He felt that no matter how strong the current flowed, it couldn't wash away the contradictions in his mind.
To go or not to go?
This was an especially contradictory question. Logically, Lan Xue had already made her feelings clear. Before this, whenever Wei Yuan wanted to take a step further, he was always stopped. Lan Xue's reason was: wait until you get into college.
Now that the college entrance examination was over and the applications had been submitted, everything was settled. Shouldn't he hurry up? Was he going to leave her virginity waiting for appreciation?
Wei Yuan was also a man. When he truly liked a girl, of course he wanted to have all of her. He felt that this shouldn't be considered a wicked thought, right?
Be a brave man; go for it.
The thoughts in his mind began to tangle together. Meanwhile, outside the room, Lan Xue was also feeling nervous and conflicted. It didn't help that Wei Yuan was still inside, making her feel particularly shy.
In fact, this wasn't Wei Yuan's first time in this situation. But precisely because it wasn't his first time, he felt even more nervous. Perhaps this was where his contradictions lay.
