Chapter 298 Do you want to go back to Miaojiang?
Lan Xiyue stared at the frail woman on the bed and softly called out to the system, "System, is there any cardiac stimulant in the mall?"
System: "Dear host, yes!"
Lan Xiyue did not hesitate and decisively ordered: "Exchange for the cardiac stimulant."
"Ding Dong, redemption successful! After deducting 10,000 points from the host, the host still has 4.49 million points."
The system's prompt sound made Lan Xiyue's mouth twitch. The price of this cardiac stimulant was really high.
But when she thought about the dying life on the bed, which was the relative of the strange old man, Lan Xiyue felt that the ten thousand points were worth spending.
A cardiac stimulant instantly appeared in her hand. Lan Xiyue rolled up the woman's sleeve and slowly injected it into her slender arm.
The clear liquid slowly flowed into the woman's body, as if a life force was quietly reviving. After the injection was completed, Lan Xiyue carefully put the syringe back into the space and gently took the woman's pulse.
This time, the pulse was noticeably stronger, no longer as vague as before.
Lan Xiyue felt relieved for a moment, and then a thought flashed through her mind, and the silver needles appeared in her hand again, like stars, piercing into the woman's acupoints.
As the silver needles danced, the toxins in the woman's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gradually calmed down.
Lan Xiyue's forehead was slightly sweaty, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she looked at the woman's body again, her brows furrowed.
This woman's body had long been riddled with holes from the poison. Even if she were to be cured, she would only live a few more years. Lan Xiyue pursed her lips, an indescribable bitterness welling up in her heart.
"I'm afraid she doesn't have many years left... She has been poisoned for many years, and her body has long been worn down by the toxin. If she hadn't been given precious medicinal herbs all the time, she would have died long ago. Now she only has three years to live. Even if the poison in her body is removed, she can only live two more years." She murmured softly, her eyes full of complexity.
Dongfang Ming, the one who was also poisoned, should also know about his mother's condition, right?
System: "Master, once your space is upgraded to the maximum level, the spiritual spring water can save her."
"System, are you sure that the spiritual spring water can save Dongfang Ming's mother?" Lan Xiyue's voice was uncertain, but also full of hope.
System: "Master, you don't know the magic of the spiritual spring water yet, do you? It can bring back the dead."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. However, when she realized that it would take another 8,000 merits to upgrade to the maximum level space, the light quickly dimmed again.
She sighed softly, put the silver needle into the space, stood up, pushed open the door, and was greeted by Dongfang Ming's anxious gaze.
"Xiao Yue'er, my mother..." Dongfang Ming's voice trembled slightly, full of worry for his mother.
Lan Xiyue looked at him, feeling a mixture of emotions. She said in a deep voice, "There's no immediate threat to her life, but Auntie is indeed very weak."
Dongfang Ming's eyes flickered with sadness when he heard this. He naturally knew about his mother's condition, but he was unwilling to give up any hope. "Xiao Yue'er, do you have any solution?"
Lan Xiyue fell silent. It was better not to tell Dongfang Mingling about the existence of the spring water for the time being. After all, it required eight thousand merits, and she didn't know when she could earn enough merits, so as not to give him hope and then disappointment.
Dongfang Ming saw this, feeling disappointed but also relieved. He forced a smile, "Xiao Yue'er, don't blame yourself. I also know medicine and poisons. I know my mother's physical condition well. I was just asking too much."
Lan Xiyue walked slowly to the stone table and sat down. Dongfang Ming followed closely behind her and sat down opposite her. His eyes involuntarily fell on the purple ring on Lan Xiyue's slender finger.
Punu brought tea and snacks in due time, placed them on the stone table, and then retreated.
Dongfang Ming's eyes grew serious, and he spoke slowly, "Xiao Yue'er, the Great Elder and the others will never give up the sacred object easily. You must be extra careful. Why don't you take the sacred object and hide it properly?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue looked down at the purple ring that seemed to have merged with her finger, and muttered softly, "It's not that I don't want to take it off, but I really can't take it off." As she spoke, she tried to take off the ring, but the ring seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.
Dongfang Ming frowned upon seeing this: "How could this be?"
Lan Xiyue shook her head helplessly.
Dongfang Ming pondered for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Yue'er, how did this sacred object come into your hands? Was it really given to you by my grandfather? Is he still alive?"
Lan Xiyue pondered for a moment, frowning slightly. "This is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly myself. Anyway, I knew your grandfather and considered him a family member. So, I will also treat you and your aunt as my family members. As for your grandfather, I'm afraid he has been reincarnated."
Dongfang Ming heard this and a wry smile appeared on his lips. "Reincarnation? Well, since Xiao Yue'er is not comfortable talking about it, I will not ask any more questions. From now on, Xiao Yue'er is my sister."
Lan Xiyue picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down. Her expression became serious: "Dongfang Ming, don't worry, I will find a way to save my aunt and the poison in your body."
It’s better not to tell him about the spiritual spring water for now. Let’s wait until her space is upgraded to the maximum level.
Dongfang Ming smiled evilly, trying to lighten the mood. "Xiao Yue'er, don't stress yourself out. Mother has been poisoned for years. Over the years, I've traveled all over the mountains and rivers, searching for rare medicinal herbs just to maintain her health. I know her condition better than anyone else."
Lan Xiyue's eyes were even more resolute: "Dongfang Ming, you just have to trust me. I said I would find a way, and I will definitely find a way to detoxify you and your aunt."
Dongfang Ming looked at her and nodded: "Okay, I believe in Xiao Yue'er."
Dongfang Ming looked at Lan Xiyue with some reluctance, "Xiao Yue'er, I may have to leave Dongyao Country."
Lan Xiyue was stunned. "Are you going back to Miaojiang?"
Dongfang Ming looked into the distance, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Yes, go back to Miaojiang. Some people are restless. It's time to go back and take everything back."
Lan Xiyue probably knew something without Dongfang Ming telling her. It was just someone trying to seize power. The strange old man used to be the king of Miaojiang, and Dongfang Ming was the descendant of the strange old man. So it was obvious that those people in Miaojiang took advantage of the strange old man's disappearance to launch a coup.
