Chapter 817: An unusual wound.
Seeing the two enjoying their meal, Chi Ye shook his head helplessly and took Bai Wuwen and Xiao Sheng outside for some fresh air. Back then, the leader had given him a large basket of fruit, which he brought to his sister. Among the fruits was durian. After Ah Xing tasted it, she couldn't stop eating it, and every time he went out, she would buy a large bunch to bring back.
When the two had almost finished eating, the three of them came in, their expressions returning to normal.
"Brother!" Chi Xing was about to chat with Gu Yin when she saw her brother return and immediately called out happily.
Chi Ye nodded and asked with a smile, "How have you been these past few days? Are you feeling alright? Does your tail hurt?"
Chi Xing smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't hurt! I'm fine!" As she spoke, she straightened her blue fishtail and swayed it from side to side.
Gu Yin looked up and saw a black patch the size of a basketball at the bottom of the beautiful fishtail. Judging from its hideous appearance, it looked like it had been burned.
Seeing that she was alright, Chi Ye smiled and nodded: "Let me introduce you. This lady is Zhou Guyin, a new researcher. These two are Bai Wuwen, a member of the Bai family, and Xiao Sheng, both of whom are colleagues at the base. You should have met them before."
Chi Xing smiled and tilted her head to look at the two men: "I've seen them. When they came with the others, they secretly looked at me from outside the door, but they probably didn't see me."
"Yes, yes, we really haven't seen it before. We were just curious, so we sneaked over to take a look. And today, we are truly amazed! Just as mysterious and beautiful as the legends say! And with extraordinary abilities! But your defenses are very strong; we couldn't even get a step in! We admire you!" Bai Wuwen joked.
"Indeed, I've always been curious about it, and today I'm fortunate to have Gu Yin's help!" Xiao Sheng nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing looked at Gu Yin and said shyly, "Sister A Yin is so beautiful! When I saw you just now, I thought you were also a merman! I feel so close to you!"
Gu Yin blinked upon hearing this: "It's possible that you feel a sense of familiarity because I used the mermaid's inner core."
Inner core? Chi Xing looked at Chi Ye: "Brother?"
Chi Xing was puzzled. Giving a clansman's inner core to a stranger didn't seem like something her brother would do. Moreover, a mermaid's inner core wasn't a simple thing. Many abilities that mermaids possessed were compressed into their inner cores before death, and then the inner core would be passed on to the next member of the clan, which was a kind of inheritance. Outsiders couldn't just take it, otherwise the mermaids would be in danger, unless it was one of their own. So, did her brother like this sister?
Seeing his sister's confusion, Chi Ye opened his eyes slightly and gently patted her head: "What are you thinking? Your sister Gu Yin is quite capable. We'll still have to ask her for help with your tribulation and coming of age. It's just an inner core; it's nothing compared to you."
Knowing that her brother wouldn't say something that would make her feel disappointed if he didn't have a clear understanding of the situation, Gu Yin's sister really had the ability to help her!
Chi Xing looked at Gu Yin with surprise and excitement: "Sister!"
Gu Yin, who had been staring at Chi Xing's tail, snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this: "What's wrong?"
"Thank you, sister!"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows, then smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. I'll do my best, but I don't know the result. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Chi Xing shook her head: "What brother said must be true! I believe brother! Brother wouldn't misjudge people! Sister is definitely the most amazing!"
This girl has such a sweet tongue! Gu Yin smiled helplessly, then nodded at the wound on her tail: "Was this caused by lightning during your tribulation?"
Chi Xing tucked her tail in and nodded, "Yes, I failed my tribulation and my tail was hit." She then put her tail back into the water, saying apologetically, "It's ugly, sister, don't look." It was so big, really ugly!
Gu Yin chuckled upon hearing this: "A flaw doesn't detract from its beauty! It's not ugly at all, it's a very pretty big tail! By the way, have you used any medicine on your tail? Or is it a special injury that ordinary medicine can't be used?"
Chi Ye let out a soft sigh: "Using medicine from our clan is useless, and using medicine from outside is useless. We've tried many medicines, but none of them work. But it doesn't matter. Once A-Xing successfully transcends his tribulation, all of these will disappear."
Gu Yin squatted down: "Can I touch it?"
Chi Xing looked at her brother, and Chi Ye nodded, so she moved the fish tail to the shore.
Gu Yin reached out and touched it; the surface of the wound was uneven, and there wasn't a single piece of healthy flesh to be seen.
"Have you tried removing all that charred, malignant flesh and then treating it again?"
Chi Ye shook his head: "I haven't tried it, but it really doesn't work. This isn't an ordinary burn. It's lightning during a tribulation. The temperature there can melt everything. The medicines on the market are useless, and even those from their aristocratic families don't work."
Gu Yin knew, of course: "Have you used our medicine before? There's a scar removal product, it's a traditional Chinese medicine, the herbs all come from the Dabai Mountain area, and I made it myself. It was just launched recently, have you tried it?"
Those medicines were modified from prescriptions from the cultivation world; they should be effective for this stuff.
“I have that medicine! I’ve bought it! I’ll have someone deliver it right away!” Xiao Sheng, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up and then contacted his people to have the medicine delivered.
Gu Yin was speechless at his fawning attitude. Wake up! You're the "Crown Prince"! Is it really okay to be this obsequious?! Where's your maturity and composure? Where's your taciturn nature?
If Xiao Sheng knew what Gu Yin was thinking, he would immediately sneer. He'd be joking, wouldn't he? He's the lowest-ranking person here! He's just a handyman! He goes wherever he's needed! If it weren't for his somewhat useful physique, he wouldn't even have gotten in! And he's so taciturn, he wouldn't even know how he'd be thrown out!
About ten minutes later, someone brought over some ointment, and Xiaosheng went out to get it.
Chi Xing asked nervously, "Is that medicine very good?"
Gu Yin nodded: "This is the best scar removal medicine on the market right now. It's the kind that's endorsed by the government. The main reason is that the medicinal materials used to make it all come from the Dabai Mountain. Some of the medicine you need for your tribulation later will also come from the Dabai Mountain. I don't know if this medicine will work, but it won't hurt to give it a try. At worst, it's like this now, right?"
Chi Ye knew how capable Gu Yin was; if she dared to say that, then the medicine must be somewhat effective.
"Ah Xing, let's give it a try."
Chi Xing nodded: "Okay."
Because the wound was in a rather unusual location, Chi Xing needed to lie down on the shore to apply medicine, so all the men left, leaving only Gu Yin behind.
The area is quite large, so Gu Yin and Chi Xing painted it together.
Chi Xing slowly applied the ointment to the wound.
Gu Yin took a cotton swab and applied the ointment as well. After she finished, Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing and asked, "Did you feel anything? Everyone says it feels cool and refreshing when you apply it. Did you feel anything?"
Chi Xing felt it for a moment, then shook her head: "I can't feel anything." Her expression darkened. Was it still no use?
Gu Yin frowned. This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the dosage of the medicine was too low? Could it be that different species require different dosages?
"Okay, after I log in, I'll open the lab and make a separate batch for you. It might be because the amount of herbs used is less, since your injury is different from that of ordinary people. It will have to be made again. Don't be sad."
Chi Xing didn't understand, but she got it right and nodded: "It's okay, Sister Gu Yin, thank you."
Seeing the people below preparing to enter, Chi Xing sat down, her hair covering her private parts.
"How is it?" Chi Ye and the other two asked as they entered.
Gu Yin voiced her guess, and Chi Ye nodded: "That makes sense. Then I'll trouble you."
"A message came in. The elders have found a suitable place. We need to go and take a look. Chi Ye, you have experience, so check if the space is big enough for the giant snake to undergo its tribulation. If not, we'll have to find another one. Elder Jin wants us to go now." Bai Wuwen received a message on his bracelet and quickly replied.
Chi Ye nodded upon hearing this and looked at Chi Xing: "When that python undergoes its tribulation, your brother will take you to see it. Do you dare to go?"
Chi Xing gritted his teeth and nodded: "I dare! I'll go!"
After saying goodbye to Chi Xing, the private car drove towards the exit of the canyon. It seems that the place for the tribulation is outside the canyon.
After everyone left, Chi Xing entered the water to rest, but as soon as her wound touched the surface, a chill ran through it! She looked at her tail in surprise, thinking it was a hallucination. She lifted her tail, but the chill disappeared. She put it back in the water, and the chill returned!
"It seems to be working!" Chi Xing happily put away the remaining ointment, planning to try applying it again later!
