My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Lin Mo was clearly a little stunned by what he said.

Yin Xue shrugged: "Of course, otherwise how would I feed your mother if it fell on the ground?"

Lin Mo paused almost imperceptibly.

"What do you need me to do?"

He asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Sit in the center of the formation."

Yin Xue pointed out.

"I will activate the formation and create a passage. A part of your consciousness will be drawn there, just like last time."

"But this time you need to spare a wisp of your mental energy to firmly lock the essence of the medicine you are transferring."

Remember, the channel will be open for a very short time, possibly only a few minutes! You must complete the targeting and delivery within this time.

Lin Mo did as instructed immediately.

He stepped into the stone house and sat cross-legged in the center of the dark red magic circle, feeling a cold sensation coming from beneath him.

Two large wooden barrels were also placed to the side.

"here we go!"

Yin Xue let out a low shout and quickly formed several profound hand seals with his hands.

Dark red magic was injected into the array as if it were alive.

Om-!

The entire magic circle suddenly lit up with a blinding red light, and the patterns spun wildly!

Lin Mo felt a pulling force that was more domineering and heavier than the last time, instantly pulling part of his consciousness away from his body!

Suddenly everything went black, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness and disorientation returned.

But this time, he clearly felt two warm, vibrant energy flows closely following his consciousness.

It was those two large buckets of stone-cloth herbs.

The passageway was filled with bizarre and fantastical lights, making time and space seem meaningless.

Lin Mo focused all his attention on those two energy streams.

They tightly enveloped them with their powerful mental energy, resisting the invisible erosion and compression within the passage.

He could see that the originally abundant medicinal essence was shrinking and condensing at a visible speed as it passed through the passage!

It was as if two invisible hands were constantly extracting and refining it.

It also continuously annihilates the parts that cannot withstand the pressure of time and space.

Two large buckets... became one bucket... became half a bucket... became just a handful...

Lin Mo's heart sank little by little.

Anxiety, like cold vines, entwined his consciousness.

Faster! Faster!

Finally, light appeared ahead, and the familiar smell of disinfectant could be faintly smelled.

Arrived!

Lin Mo's consciousness suddenly crashed back into the original world, and he reappeared in that familiar hospital room.

It seemed to be nighttime here, with only a dim bedside lamp on in the ward.

The mother, Zhou Xiaomei, lay quietly on the hospital bed, seemingly asleep.

His face looked even paler and more haggard under the light.

Lin Mo had no time to feel heartache; all his attention was focused on the medicinal essence that followed.

At this moment, the energy that has undergone a long cross-border journey has been compressed and condensed to its extreme.

What was originally two large buckets has been reduced to a small lump, less than the size of a thumb.

Unlike Lin Mo's mental projection, this stone-cloth herb is real.

If someone were nearby at that moment, they would only see a floating water droplet.

Lin Mo carefully manipulated the remaining medicine, slowly moving it towards her mother's lips on the sickbed.

Every inch of movement is accompanied by a massive consumption of mental energy.

This process was far more difficult than he had anticipated.

Controlling physical objects from a distance puts an immense strain on one's mental energy.

It was as if he wasn't moving the medicine, but dragging an invisible mountain.

A pricking pain and a heavy sense of fatigue came from my consciousness.

Faster! Faster! Just a little bit more!

He cried out silently in his heart.

He squeezed out all his willpower and frantically urged the spiritual thread connecting him to the medicinal liquid.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing and bulging.

Just then—

Click.

The doorknob of the ward turned without warning.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

A night shift nurse, dressed in a light blue uniform, walked in with light steps.

"Bed 23, it's time for your dressing change."

The nurse spoke softly as usual, looking up at the hospital bed.

This sudden intrusion caused subtle fluctuations in the space of this world.

It instantly disturbed Lin Mo's mental power!

hum!

Lin Mo felt the thread of spiritual energy that held the vital essence tremble suddenly.

The precise control over the medicinal liquid was instantly disrupted by this sudden interference!

The pea-sized amount of liquid medicine, having lost its last pull, dripped straight down!

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted, and his consciousness went completely blank!

Finished!

All the effort, all the expectations, were about to fail at this last moment!

Lin Mo's breath hitched.

pat.

A sound so faint it was almost inaudible.

The drop of pale green liquid traced a brief arc in the air.

It landed perfectly on the bedside table, in the open white water glass.

The medicine liquid fell into the water and quickly spread, turning half a cup of clear water into an extremely delicate light green color.

Lin Mo's wildly beating heart suddenly stopped, followed by a surge of exhaustion, as if he had just survived a disaster.

He fell in... he fell into the water! There's still a chance!

At this moment, Zhou Xiaomei, who was lying in the hospital bed, was also awakened by the nurse's voice and slowly opened her eyes.

"Auntie, you're awake? It's time to take your medicine tonight."

The nurse skillfully walked to the bedside, took out the pre-packaged pills from the tray, and picked up the water glass from the table.

"There's still water, and the temperature should be just right."

Zhou Xiaomei nodded weakly and, with the help of the nurse, propped herself up slightly.

She took the pills and, using the water glass the nurse offered to her lips, put them into her mouth.

The water, infused with the essence of the stonewort herb, flowed down her throat.

Lin Mo's consciousness was fixed on his mother.

Despite the excruciating pain from the depletion of his mental energy, he stubbornly maintained even the slightest trace of perception.

He sensed it.

The moment the mother drank those sips of water, a gentle, subtle warmth flowed through her.

It seemed to slowly melt away within her parched and weak body.

That faint life force, which was originally like a candle flickering in the wind and was slowly fading away, actually... stabilized under the influence of this gentle force!

It will no longer continue to weaken.

Even more so, it faintly exudes a new vitality!

Although the changes are so subtle that they are almost imperceptible.

But for Lin Mo, who was constantly aware of his mother's life status, it was like a ray of dawn in the darkness!

it works!

This medicine really works!

It can stabilize the mother's vitality!

It can fight off the depletion caused by that damn cancer!

Lin Mo felt that all the exhaustion and all the killing were worth it at this moment!

An indescribable excitement instantly rushed into Lin Mo's mind.

A feeling of exhaustion arose spontaneously.

But he doesn't want to go back yet.

The body formed from spiritual power slowly knelt before Zhou Xiaomei's hospital bed.

Looking at his mother's weak appearance and feeling the faint warmth on the bed, Lin Mo just wanted to lie down on his mother's bed and get a good night's sleep.

Just then, Zhou Xiaomei turned slightly to the side.

He fumbled in the drawer of the bedside table and pulled out that familiar notebook.

This is the very notebook that Lin Mo mistook for a "suicide note" during the last observation.
