"Heh, you have indeed died once. Now, you are more like a zombie than a human."
[Frinina: Zombies?! !!!]
[Kaiya: So this is the real reason why the Rebirth Hall and the White Atractylodes lineage are at odds]
[Charlotte: Is this what Master Hu meant by going against the principles of life and death? Mr. Baishu, may I give you an exclusive interview?]
[Hu Tao: You did it after all, Bai Zhu]
[Lei Movie: Is there really a way to bring the dead back to life?]
[Atractylodes macrocephala: Strictly speaking, it doesn't count; it's far inferior to true immortal arts.]
Jia Liang didn't quite understand. "A zombie?"
Bai Shu explained, "That's right. Before we set off, I asked Qi Qi to prepare a 'medicine of immortality' to keep your body teetering on the brink of life and death."
"Although it's far from being a true immortal technique, it can probably only extend your lifespan by a little."
"As for the specific date, month, or year... I'd like to take this opportunity to observe further."
"But no matter how long it takes, it should be enough for you to say your goodbyes properly and then set off in peace. I wonder if Hall Master Hu would accept this arrangement?"
Everyone turned around to look at Hu Tao in the corner, and they were surprised to find that Hu Tao was there too.
"The elixir of immortality... Just how long have you been secretly working on this? You've actually managed to concoct something like this?"
Hu Tao's words were barbed.
Bai Shu didn't take it seriously, saying, "It's just a half-finished product that doesn't live up to its name. If it weren't for Jia Liang's strong will, it probably wouldn't have been very effective."
"In the end, I'm just a doctor. I don't understand so many profound principles about the cycle of life and death and the balance of Yin and Yang."
"Knowing that there is a life worth saving right before us, there is no reason not to save it. Besides, wasn't it Master Hu who asked Jialiang to help guide us before we set off?"
[Paimon: So it was Kurumi who brought Karen here back then?]
[Ying: Paimon has wronged someone again.]
[Zhongli: I can understand. The sect leader is not a rigid or conservative person.]
In the video.
Hu Tao felt embarrassed after her little scheme was exposed, especially since she had just implied that she was criticizing Bai Shu.
"If the hall master hadn't specifically reminded us, we probably wouldn't have had time to find our senior sister later."
Ying: "So besides Xiao, Kurumi was also there."
Hu Tao, however, understood a different meaning: "No wonder they didn't mention the elixir of immortality back then. They were still wary of me even at that time."
Jia Liang awkwardly laughed to ease the atmosphere, "Uh... haha, Master Hu even told me not to say anything carelessly, but I still couldn't hide it from Mr. Bai."
Chang Sheng smiled smugly: "Hehe, don't underestimate my nose!"
Hu Tao stubbornly continued, "I just saw that Jia Liang was still worried about his missing family members, and I wanted him to fulfill his wish and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would linger and have to go through the trouble of performing rituals for him."
"I just didn't expect that Bu Bu Lu would snatch this deal in the end. Oh well, let's just consider it an order postponement."
"Sigh, having Qiqi was already a headache enough, and now there's another one. If only I had taken him to the Hall of Rebirth from the beginning."
Qiqi, peeking from the corner: scared.JPG
[Yae no Miko: Hall Master Hu is quite the little tsundere, so cute]
[Furina: Is that girl named Qiqi also a zombie? I noticed it before, the one on her head]
[Qiqi: I am Qiqi, and I am a zombie]
[Hu Tao: Qi Qi, don't avoid me!]
[Qiqi: High temperatures, fake smiles, and death... I hate it]
Ayu did not agree with Hu Tao's plan.
"I...I will definitely become a better pharmacist for Mr. Bai and Mom, and cure Dad again. Please stop trying to take advantage of my dad."
Jia Liang smiled with satisfaction.
Hu Tao didn't hold a grudge against the child, but instead joked with him: "Oh, someone who wants to steal business from Wang Sheng Tang, even two Yun Lai Hai can't hold him, so you'd better work harder."
After saying that, she left. "Traveler, Paimon, see you another day."
Qiqi, sitting in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew... finally, they're gone..."
"It's finally over. Shouldn't we do something to celebrate this rare reunion?"
Yingmei guessed that Paimon was up to no good again, and sure enough.
"Hehe, we should cook a nice meal to celebrate at times like this!"
Using the excuse of wanting to show off her cooking skills, Yingmei took Paimeng and Ayu to go grocery shopping, leaving Jiang Li and the others some space.
Wendy: As expected of a traveler, you're always so understanding.
[Paimon: Wasn't it Paimon who suggested it?]
[Ying: You really want to eat it, don't you?]
"Bai Zhu, Chang Sheng, if it's convenient, let's go outside and catch up."
Bai Shu followed Jiang Li out.
Behind him, Qiqi, as a senior, was reminding Jialiang of the precautions to take as a zombie.
"First, don't forget flexibility exercises. Second, don't forget..."
"Hmm, don't forget what?"
"forget!"
Everyone: This is a firsthand account, that's true.
The scene cuts to Jiang Li and Bai Zhu.
Jiang Li: "Since we parted in the valley, so much time has passed without us realizing it. Changsheng is still the same as ever, unchanged."
Chang Sheng: "You've changed quite a bit."
"Yes, back then, I never imagined that this day would come. I also never imagined that even you, Bai Shu, would turn out like this."
The two walked and walked until they came to the pavilion.
Jiang Li said earnestly, "I have seen your elixir of immortality, and its pharmacological properties are somewhat similar to the poison I have refined."
"Using toxins to maintain one's previous state is indeed a brilliant idea. Senior sister won't blame me for imitating it without permission, will she?"
"How could that be? With your qualifications, even without precedent, you should be able to deduce it yourself in time."
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Li's expression turned serious.
“But from the time you met Jialiang until now, only a few days have passed, yet you have been able to study this poison so thoroughly.”
"They even used it to improve the original prescription—which can't be explained by qualifications alone."
"Bai Zhu, tell me the truth, did you... personally test the poison?"
Chapter 72: Personally testing poison is the least of my worries.
[Paimon: Will he personally test the poison?]
[D'Artagnan: Going to this point, it can't be explained by mere medical responsibility, can it?]
[Erhesen: Perhaps from his perspective, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages]
[Bai Zhu: Just like I told Paimon before, everyone has their own agenda, whether good or bad.]
Changsheng: "Ha, I knew you couldn't hide for long."
"The contract of immortality... it probably transfers more than just life force."
"...As expected, you couldn't hide it from your senior sister after all." Bai Shu smiled slightly. "That's right, besides vitality, the secret method of longevity can also transfer toxins and diseases."
“When I treated Jialiang for the second time, I transferred some of the toxins to myself. This was to reduce his burden and also to facilitate a deeper study of its toxicity.”
"However, all the remaining poison has now gone with the remnants of the demon god, so Senior Sister no longer needs to worry."
Jiang Li was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Shu's nonchalant attitude.
After all, both sides are people close to her, and she would feel bad if either side were to be hurt.
"That was far too risky. If we hadn't eliminated the remnants of the demon god back then, even your own body would have been—"
Halfway through her sentence, she realized she had no right to blame Bai Zhu, because she herself had done the same thing.
Then, she changed the subject and revealed the reason why she had severed ties with her master back then.
"The reason I distanced myself from my master and avoided seeing him back then was because I didn't want my master, who didn't have much time left, to continue to shorten his lifespan in order to heal Jialiang."
"But I never expected that in the end, I would risk my life to concoct poisons, just like you did, while you would test poisons on yourself... One by one, they all followed the same path as their master and the others."
"Is this the destiny of our lineage? To die young because of our obsession with saving people, to be so fixated on the miracle of defying life and death, unable to extricate ourselves."
Bai Shu disagreed, as he had never believed in the concept of fate.
"The idea of fate should not come from the mouth of a doctor."
Jiang Li: "Bai Shu, I can see that over the years you've transferred many diseases and poisons to yourself through contracts, many of which are now beyond my comprehension..."
[Ying: So, Bai Zhu's poor health isn't due to transferring too much life force, but rather because she directly transferred the patient's illness to herself?!]
【walnut:...】
[Zhong Li: This state of mind is far beyond what ordinary doctors can achieve.]
[Furina: This is beyond the realm of humanity.]
[Nel: But it seems like all the doctors in their lineage are like this, so doesn't that mean every generation...]
In regular chat rooms, the chat room was already overwhelmed.
I was wondering why my illness had improved so easily; it turns out Mr. Bai was taking on the pain for me.
Mr. Bai, thank you so much. Without you, I'm afraid I...
When Mr. Bai treated me, he didn't even charge me for the consultation...
...
