Chapter 340 Healing the Bones
Meng Qingyin looked at Qin Jiu and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jiu, go to the Magic Tower Shop and order a healing item. I don't have a chance today, so I'll pay for it."
Although her voice sounded as steady as ever, there was a barely perceptible tremor in it.
Qin Jiu deliberately changed the subject, waving her hand and saying, "Why are you talking to me about money? Chen Leying is also my friend, I'll pay for her treatment."
He then opened the Magic Tower Shop.
A minute later, Qin Jiu looked distressed and asked Meng Qingyin for help, "I don't have enough money. This medicine is too expensive; it costs 1,000 gold coins."
Lu Cheng was shocked: "What kind of medicine did you order? Why is it so expensive? It actually costs 1000 gold coins?"
Qin Jiu replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's a medicine specifically for treating comminuted fractures. It's for my sisters, so it definitely has to be super fast and effective."
Actually, there are also simple treatments for fractures, and those medicines are cheap, but they require a long recovery period, which is not acceptable.
Qin Jiu looked at Meng Qingyin and said, "Just lend me 600 gold coins."
Without saying a word, Meng Qingyin transferred 1,000 gold coins to her directly.
Qin Jiu quickly replied, "That's too much, too much."
After saying that, he was about to turn back.
Meng Qingyin pressed her hand down, her expression forlorn: "Even a thousand gold coins can hardly make up for the guilt in my heart."
Qin Jiu paused for a moment, then didn't insist any further.
She bought the treatment, a dark, pungent-smelling ointment that, according to the instructions, could treat all bone injuries and would be effective immediately upon application.
Qin Jiu gently applied the ointment to Chen Leying's arm with a spatula, quickly covering it with a thick layer. With some ointment left over, she then applied it to Meng Qingyin as well.
The moment the ointment touched her skin, Meng Qingyin felt a cool sensation, which relieved the severe pain in her feet.
The excruciating pain disappeared in no time.
Tang Mian and Chen Leying also regained consciousness one after another.
Meng Qingyin gave them a brief explanation, deliberately omitting the dangers and only mentioning the positive aspects.
Although she spoke casually, everyone knew that the real battle was far more complicated than she made it sound.
Tang Mian looked at Chen Leying and asked, "By the way, what exactly is Chen Jinliang's indestructible body? Wasn't it said at the beginning that his weakness was the back of his neck? How come he was completely unharmed when I attacked him? Does he actually have a weakness?"
Chen Leying's lips were still a little pale. She slowly said, "His weakness is in the back of his neck. This was revealed by his behavior when we attacked him at the beginning. As for your attack being ineffective, it was Zhou Xing's arrival that made him fearless. So I guess Zhou Xing has some kind of means that makes him have no weakness."
Meng Qingyin's words just now confirmed her guess.
Zhou Xing possesses exceptionally powerful healing abilities. With him around, even if Chen Jinliang's weak point is hit, Zhou Xing can heal him instantly.
Therefore, Chen Jinliang was so fearless after Zhou Xing arrived.
Tang Mian couldn't help but admire, "Your observation is too meticulous. If it weren't for you, we would probably have been wiped out."
“I didn’t help much,” Chen Leying shook her head, glancing at the baby, “Did the baby experience any discomfort after taking Zhou Xing?”
“No,” Meng Qingyin said, taking out the bone as she mentioned Zhou Xing. “This is the bone that was extracted from his body back then. His healing abilities are so powerful because of this bone.”
[Healing Bones: The bones of a certain primitive animal greatly enhance healing abilities. But... only by dissolving them into your own blood and bones can you truly become one. The process of fusion is extremely painful and lengthy. Are you ready to accept the bones?]
Tang Mian couldn't hide her surprise, "Animal bones? There are such props? Animal bones have such a powerful effect?"
Meng Qingyin handed the skeleton to Fei Qiu, saying, "This skeleton only enhances healing abilities. You can keep it."
Fei Qiu was flattered and asked in a rough voice, "You...you gave it to me?"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "Only you are the most suitable."
Of all these people, only Fei Qiu possesses the ability to heal.
Meng Qingyin added, "As for whether or not to use it, that's up to you."
After all, she had personally witnessed Zhou Xing, who possessed this ability, become neither human nor ghost.
Fei Qiu took the skeleton and suddenly asked, "If I use it... then... will I also have the ability to be immortal like Zhou Xing?"
According to Meng Qingyin, Zhou Xing's head was able to automatically reconnect to his body after being severed; this ability was simply terrifying.
Meng Qingyin shook her head. "It shouldn't be. It should just be Zhou Xing's own ability. After all, this bone only has an enhancing effect, rather than creating something out of nothing."
Fei Qiu nodded. "Then, little one...doesn't that mean he/she has the ability to be immortal?"
Since immortality is Zhou Xing's own ability, and now that he has been eaten by Zai Zai, Zai Zai has acquired his healing ability, does that mean he also has the ability to be immortal?
Meng Qingyin: "Perhaps."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Finally, Meng Qingyin said, "Let's go back first."
The group found Li Tieniu and his companions, and Meng Qingyin took them back to Li Family Village.
Li the blacksmith had already learned of their rescue and was waiting at the door with the families of the construction team members.
Meng Qingyin also noticed a young man in the crowd who looked ashamed. When Li Tieniu saw him, he punched him hard in the face.
The young man was knocked to the ground and did not fight back as Li Tieniu punched him repeatedly. It was only after the crowd pulled Li Tieniu away that the young man scrambled to his feet.
Meng Qingyin guessed that the young man might be Zhou Mingde.
He had fallen out with Li Tieniu over personal gain, and now, because of him, A Dong from the construction team has died. He and Li Tieniu will probably never speak to each other again.
Meng Qingyin left after safely returning the person.
Back in the car, she washed off the plaster from her feet and sat in the driver's seat, lost in thought.
That piece of bone that healed... was it actually an animal bone?
What kind of animal could leave behind such powerful abilities in its skeleton after death?
How did the deity Zhou Xing mentioned bring Chen Jinliang back to life?
Are those pangolins still alive?
While it seemed that Zhou Xing's problem had been solved, what lay before them was an even more complex and confusing situation.
