Chapter 450 The ruthless male protagonist 9 In front of the skeleton was an ancient jade box, and some weathered herbs were scattered around it.
Most striking are the ancient characters and diagrams of the human body's meridians carved on the stone wall in front of the skeleton.
She didn't recognize any of those strange characters, nor could she understand those pictures, but the moment her eyes fell upon them, she felt a sense of complete understanding.
The crystalline skeleton seemed to come alive, and two golden beams suddenly shone from its eyes, shooting straight into Zi Xi's brow.
Zi Xi cried out in pain, feeling as if her entire head was about to explode from the massive flow of information.
Countless unfamiliar words, images, incantations, herbal shapes, and meridian pathways flooded into the depths of her memory.
The intense pain caused Zi Xi to curl up on the ground, her whole body convulsing.
Sweat instantly soaked through her already damp and cold clothes, but what followed was a gentle yet powerful warm current that surged from between her eyebrows and quickly flowed throughout her body.
Wherever this warm current passed, Zi Xi's cold body quickly warmed up, and the abrasions and bruises on her body healed and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What shocked her even more was that she felt a tremendous change taking place inside her body.
It was as if something that had been blocked for a long time was forcibly broken open, and the bones and muscles were reshaped and the blood was cleansed.
Is this some kind of bone marrow cleansing treatment?!
This process lasted for an unknown period of time.
When the massive flow of information finally subsided, and the warm current gradually merged into her dantian, Zi Xi slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, which once always held a sense of bewilderment and confusion, were now clear and bright, like stars washed by a clear spring, their depths sparkling with a lively light.
She was no longer that foolish little girl who was bullied and lived in a daze.
Zi Xi sat up in a daze, feeling a lightness and power she had never experienced before, and the previously unfamiliar and obscure information in her mind.
The ancient tradition known as the "Shennong Manual" is now as clear as an innate instinct.
Zi Xi also understood the identity of the skeleton in the cave. It was a rare person from ancient times who had secluded himself here and was proficient in medicine, poison and martial arts.
She inherited his entire legacy, including martial arts, medical skills, poison techniques, and the ability to identify the characteristics of all plants in the world.
Subconsciously, she touched her neck, where a warm, smooth safety buckle hung—something she had worn since childhood.
At this moment, the safety buckle seemed to resonate subtly with the aura of the "Shennong Manual" within her body.
Fragments of memory begin to flow back, but they are still incomplete.
She remembers the cruel faces of her adoptive parents, who sent her to a place like a juvenile detention center.
A blurry figure appeared in her mind, instantly accompanied by a sharp pain, causing Zi Xi to immediately abandon the memory.
If she was sent to a juvenile detention center, why did she fall off a cliff?
My previous memories were cut off after I was sent to the juvenile detention center, as if shrouded in a thick fog.
"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore."
"I will never forget the kindness of my predecessors in teaching me."
Zi Xi shook her head, stood up, and solemnly performed the three bows and nine kowtows to the skeleton that had given her a new life.
She opened the jade box, inside which was a set of gold needles as thin as cicada wings, and several fragrant, unidentified medicinal seeds.
She carefully put the jade box away, then looked firmly toward the cave entrance.
The rain had stopped sometime earlier.
Zi Xi took a deep breath of the fresh, moist air from the bottom of the valley, feeling the ever-flowing energy of the Shennong Technique within her body.
It's time to leave.
It's time to take everything back!
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Zi Xi stood by the cold pool, looking at her reflection in the water.
It's still the same face, but the features are more refined.
