Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing glanced at Niu Shanming a few more times.
Upon closer inspection, the problem was discovered.
She discovered that Niu Shanming had a chronic illness, an illness that had existed for many, many years.
Perhaps because the old ailment had been suppressed by medication and not eradicated, it has rebounded severely now.
Once it occurs, it could be life-threatening.
Wait, that's not right.
Bai Qingqing was taken aback.
I've never studied medicine, so how could I suddenly tell that Niu Shanming has a health problem?
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing hurriedly called out in her heart, "Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao."
"Host, there is no need to be surprised. After cultivating the Heavenly Origin Technique, you will be able to master weapon crafting and pill refining without a teacher, and you will naturally be able to see other people's physical conditions."
"Self-taught? You mean I can refine pills now?" Bai Qingqing asked in surprise.
"Yes, host."
“But I don’t have any formula in my head,” Bai Qingqing said, frowning.
All I can see right now is the symptoms.
As for how to treat it, what kind of medicine to use, and how to refine the medicine, they were completely clueless.
Is this system just fooling me?
"Xiao Hao would never deceive the host. If the host thinks that way, it will hurt Xiao Hao's young heart."
Bai Qingqing was speechless for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay, I misunderstood you. I'll be more careful in the future. Now, can you tell me what happened?"
"The host does not have a pill furnace yet. Once the host touches the pill furnace, the pill formula will be automatically infused into the host's sea of consciousness."
"You mean I should go buy a pill-making furnace right now?" Bai Qingqing asked anxiously.
"I wonder if there are any requirements for this alchemy furnace?"
"Yes. The requirement is that it must be a pill furnace obtained from a system gift pack."
"..."
"Therefore, please spend your spirit stones diligently and try to open the second return gift pack as soon as possible. Good luck, Xiao Hao believes in you!"
Bai Qingqing was speechless again.
This feels so much like those company leaders on Earth who like to make empty promises.
"Xiao Hao and the host will always be of one mind."
Damn, I forgot again that this guy can hear her thoughts.
Bai Qingqing immediately muttered a few words in her mind: "System is good, system is wonderful, system is awesome."
"Xiao Hao isn't a frog, so you don't need to praise him so much," Xiao Hao said proudly.
"I'll be more careful next time, I definitely will." Bai Qingqing smiled awkwardly, then got back to the main topic and asked, "Do you have any way to help Niu Shanming with this injury?"
"The healing pills you received last time only require one to heal you."
"Is this healing pill really that powerful?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"A product of the system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!" If Xiao Hao had a physical body, he would be standing tall and looking very proud right now.
"Okay, I understand," Bai Qingqing replied, then gave a very perfunctory compliment: "Xiao Hao is great!"
Xiao Hao: "..."
“Chief Bull, this old ailment of yours has been going on for quite some time,” Bai Qingqing said, stroking Wukong’s head.
“It has been quite a few years.” Niu Shanming nodded repeatedly.
In his heart, Bai Qingqing was an unparalleled immortal, so naturally nothing could be hidden from her.
His old ailment was contracted when he advanced to the half-step immortal realm.
With his natural talent and cultivation level, he could have survived this safely.
However, at that time he was ambushed and besieged by his enemies, and under the tribulation of lightning, he was exhausted and his health was severely damaged.
Normally, there would be a Heavenly reward after passing the tribulation.
The Heavenly Reward can completely eliminate the damage from the lightning tribulation, and also bring many other benefits.
But his enemy possessed a very strange top-grade spiritual artifact that could completely shield his aura, making it seem as if he had vanished entirely.
When Heaven's rewards cannot find an object to reward, they will slowly dissipate.
Fortunately, after escaping, he obtained a top-grade spiritual herb, which suppressed the injuries in his body.
In addition, he possesses the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, making his inherent qualities extraordinary.
The clan also has a rich cultural heritage.
That's why we've come this far.
Although the suppressed lightning tribulation injury never flared up, he dared not relax in the slightest.
He knew that he had to cross the threshold of becoming an immortal before the lightning tribulation injury in his body could possibly heal under the reward of the Heavenly Dao.
If it remains inside the body, it will always be a hidden danger.
So over the years, he has spent his time in seclusion.
But the path to immortality in this world has long been severed.
He hadn't believed it before, thinking he could defy fate and change his destiny.
The higher his cultivation level, the more he could understand it.
The laws governing this world are incomplete, and he is unable to comprehend the complete power of these laws.
This means that he will never be able to enter the realm of immortals.
Originally, he had given up hope and decided to focus on nurturing the people of his clan after emerging from seclusion this time, leaving his future to fate.
Then Bai Qingqing appeared, and his hope was rekindled.
As long as he tries to curry favor with powerful figures, he might still have a chance in the future.
“If this injury is not treated, it will take your life when it flares up in the future,” Bai Qingqing said again.
Before Niu Shanming could say anything, the Bull Demon King knelt down in front of Bai Qingqing with a thud, banging his head on the ground: "Please, Master, save my clan's ancestor."
"Bull Demon King!" Niu Shanming shouted first.
It is common knowledge that injuries from lightning strikes are incurable.
Then, smiling at Bai Qingqing, he said, "I'm old, and I've become much more indifferent to life and death. I know my injury is beyond repair, so please don't take the Bull Demon King's words to heart..."
"Who said it can't be cured?" Bai Qingqing helped the Bull Demon King up and rubbed his head. "Are you silly? Does it hurt?"
The Bull Demon King hurriedly shook his head and asked nervously, "Master, can you heal the wounds of my clan's ancestor?"
Niu Shanming and Niu Yunxiao also looked at Bai Qingqing with tense expressions.
“Of course.” Bai Qingqing nodded and took out a healing pill from her system space: “Eat this and your old injury will be cured.”
“Nine, nine-pattern pills…” Niu Shanming swallowed hard, his words barely audible.
Niu Yunxiao was speechless; he just stood there with his mouth open.
"This is called the Healing Pill. One pill can cure your old ailments." Bai Qingqing handed it to Niu Shanming: "If you trust me, then take it."
Wukong and Bai Wenyuan, standing to the side, were filled with envy.
This is a nine-patterned elixir!
Moreover, according to the immortal, this elixir can also heal injuries from lightning tribulations.
Niu Shanming took it somewhat mechanically, his mind completely blank.
It took her a while to come to her senses. She looked up at Bai Qingqing and stammered incredulously, "Given to me?"
“You are a member of the Bull Demon King’s clan. Since I have a way, I won’t let you lose your life,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Niu Shanming said, and then knelt down straight down in front of Bai Qingqing.
"It's just a small matter. Besides, we don't stand on ceremony with our own people. Get up quickly, or I'll get angry," Bai Qingqing said, deliberately putting on a stern face.
