"A drop of ancient dragon blood, I wonder what marvelous uses it might have? It should be able to enhance one's physique, or perhaps even grant a trace of ancient dragon power."
Lin Qiubai pondered.
The Origin Realm is essentially about condensing vital energy into a giant dragon. If one were to consume this drop of ancient dragon blood...
At this thought, Lin Qiubai opened his mouth. But halfway through the action, he stopped.
He recalled that the drop of blood had just been spat out from the mouth of the demon.
"Forget it, swallowing it directly feels a bit strange; I'll save it for later to use in a medicinal bath."
Lin Qiubai stored it in a jade vial and then sat cross-legged on the bed to continue his daily cultivation.
As for the Purple-Winged Thundercloud Leopard, it was outside in the garden, enjoying the Xuan Shen sent by Yuan Danqiu.
Although the Xuan Shen was not very old, when combined with a vial of golden medicinal essence, it made all the difference.
"Uncle Lin's generosity is truly extravagant!"
Yuan Danqiu left with weak legs.
When he saw Lin Qiubai casually pour an entire vial of golden medicinal essence for the Purple-Winged Thundercloud Leopard to eat, even though he knew it was the king beast of the Creation Realm, his heart couldn't help but ache. It felt as if it were eating his own heart!
Fourteen plants of three-hundred-year-old Xuan Shen were enough for a disciple at the second level of the Origin Realm to break through to the fourth level.
Of course, disciples in the Origin Realm could not consume all fourteen plants of three-hundred-year-old Xuan Shen at once.
One can only consume them one by one.
To fully digest, it takes four months.
Moreover, the efficacy of the medicine is inversely proportional to the quantity of Xuan Shen consumed.
When taking the first one, the effect is better. By the time of the second, the effect is not as strong as before.
But in any case, this indicates how incredibly precious the golden medicinal essence is!
"Sigh, I guess that's why I have to call him 'Shishu'..."
Yuan Danqiu completely did not understand the lifestyle and thought process of a peerless genius, and could only let out a soft sigh before quickly disappearing from the roadside.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, he encountered Zhen Xian, who had come out in search of that call.
"Xian, why are you out walking so late?"
The leader of Yuan spoke with a hint of concern and indulgence.
"Leader, I can't sleep, so I came out for a stroll."
Zhen Xian stuck out her pink tongue.
"You little girl, so quirky. You can wander around, but you must not go to remote places and you are not allowed to stray from the elders' patrols."
Yuan Danqiu rubbed the little girl's head and watched her leave; he really liked Zhen Xian.
But she was too unfortunate! Abandoned by her parents in the wilderness right after birth.
Zhen Changlao found her during his travels, and she was nearly on the brink of death.
Later, Zhen Changlao took care of her in the sect's beast training grounds, milking the beasts every day, playing both father and mother, and eventually raised the little girl to adulthood.
At that time, the little girl was lively and adorable, like a porcelain doll, running around all day long, causing Zhen Changlao to chase her throughout the sect. There was much joy in the sect because of her.
But good times did not last long.
When Zhen Xian turned ten, she suddenly fell ill. One half of her body was icy cold while the other half burned with fever. At its worst, she coughed up fresh blood, which was bizarre enough to make Zhen Changlao faint from shock!
Afterward, Zhen Changlao sought out renowned doctors throughout Youyun Prefecture and even spent all his savings to hire a Fourth Rank Alchemist to concoct pills, but none could cure her strange illness...
He could only watch helplessly as Zhen Xian fell ill again and then entered a period of weakness that lasted for two months.
The Fourth Rank Alchemist said she would not live past fifteen. At this point, calculating it out, Zhen Xian had only six months left to live...
So it didn't matter that Zhen Xian ran around everywhere; all the elders of the sect indulged her and allowed her to be her quirky self.
"Here it is, my aura is here, but I can't feel it... my heart hurts so much..."
Zhen Xian's stunning beauty seemed to ripple like a lake disturbed by the wind. Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and her dark brows furrowed as if she were a sickly beauty from ancient times, evoking deep sympathy. She clutched her chest as two streams of tears slid down her exquisite cheeks.
"Where is it?"
She was having another episode.
In just two short months, Zhen Xian fell ill again.
Blood even gushed from her delicate lips, staining her pure white dress—a sight that was shocking to behold.
Lin Qiubai jumped down from the bed.
Pushing the door open, he saw his junior sister Zhen Xian fainted on the ground not far away.
"What happened?"
Lin Qiubai checked her breath and found it very chaotic.
"Master Lin, Xia Xian's illness is very peculiar. It cannot be cured; she can only be left in bed to wake up naturally. However, after she wakes up, she will fall into a state of weakness for two months."
"Sigh, the last time she fell ill was just a little over two months ago, and now she's having episodes so frequently."
Elder Zhen, who had been following Zhen Xian, sighed deeply, his aged face filled with sorrow.
In his life, his beloved wife died during childbirth, and his young son passed away early. Later, in despair, he embarked on the path of cultivation and saved Xia Xian in his old age to raise her as his granddaughter.
But this only granddaughter was also treated mercilessly by fate.
"Wasn't she lively just today?"
Lin Qiubai was puzzled, recalling Zhen Xian's quirky demeanor earlier that afternoon. She had seemed like a perfectly healthy young girl; how could she faint suddenly or vomit blood at will?
"Sigh, poor Xia Xian. Even Fourth Rank elixirs cannot cure her; I don't know what strange illness this is. Her time is running out... Sigh, if only this illness could transfer to me! Why does it have to be like this?"
Elder Zhen picked up Zhen Xian, tears streaming down his face.
The feeling of helplessness was the most painful!
Lin Qiubai was astonished; what kind of illness could turn a lively girl into such a weak state in an instant?
Even if one were to face a thunder tribulation, it wouldn't be like this, right?
"If you go back now, the journey is long and bumpy, and it won't be good for Zhen Xian. Just put her on my bed for now."
Lin Qiubai held onto Zhen Elder.
He then opened the Recording Gold Paper and began to skim through the various difficult cases.
There were quite a few cases similar to Zhen Xian's, but the details were slightly off. Comparing them with Zhen Elder's case, he quickly ruled them out.
After testing for an hour, he still couldn't find a corresponding case.
"Could it be a Special Physique?!"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Qiubai, and he hurriedly searched for Special Physique.
Tens of thousands of types of Special Physiques were quickly eliminated by Lin Qiubai, and finally, he found one that was ninety percent similar.
There was only one case of this type of physique.
Lin Qiubai collected his thoughts and focused his gaze on Zhen Xian.
"Zhen Elder, I apologize."
Lin Qiubai reached out to untie Zhen Xian's skirt, gently peeling it away to reveal her slender waist. On her fair skin, which resembled mutton-fat jade and seemed to carry a faint fragrance, a purple scale stood out prominently.
"What... what is this..."
Zhen Elder stared in shock.
“Dragon Scale. A new one has just grown. She might be born from the union of the Dragon Clan and the human race.
So she retains a significant amount of dragon blood, but that part of her lineage has awakened. As a result, her human body cannot withstand it; such a situation is extremely rare.”
“Lin Sect Master, do you have any way to save her? I only have this one granddaughter, and I don’t want her to die.”
Zhen Elder immediately knelt down. It’s not hard to imagine how this Elder must have appeared when he sought medical help for Zhen Xian.
A man’s knees are worth gold.
Especially for a martial artist.
His willingness to kneel shows just how much he loves this granddaughter!
“To be honest, the first case that took the Seventh-Rank Elixir was not saved. I… fear I may not have the ability.”
Lin Qiubai couldn’t bear to refuse, but he couldn’t take on this responsibility.
“Grandfather, please get up… It’s okay, it’s okay, Grandfather, don’t do this… I’ll be your granddaughter in my next life…”
A weak voice came from the bed, and Zhen Xian had tears streaming down her small face as she looked at Zhen Elder with heartache.
