People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 177 The Emperor Finally Appears

Not the house, but the lobby.

In the hall filled with the slightly bitter smell of medicinal herbs,
The little zombie at the front desk who was originally in charge of dispensing medicine was now holding a glass of iced coconut milk in both hands, drinking it in small sips with an expressionless face using the straw that came with it.

Although Qiqi's expression was still dazed, Lin Feng could clearly sense a feeling of "comfort" from the little guy.

Because it was already time for dinner, and we had already received many patients during the day,

Therefore, at this time, the number of patients coming for treatment is much less than during the day.

Lifting his right hand from the wrist of the patient in front of him, Bai Zhu wrote out a prescription based on the patient's description of the condition and the results of his own examination.

I didn't disturb Qiqi who was enjoying it. After explaining the usage and dosage,

He personally selected the necessary medicinal materials from the reddish-brown medicine cabinet behind the counter, packed them up, and handed them over to the grateful patient.

Seeing that the last patient in the medicine room had been treated,
Bai Zhu, who finally had some free time, let out a long sigh and came to Lin Feng with a smile on his face:

"I saw you every day in the medicine room a few days ago, but I am a little uncomfortable after not seeing you for a few days."

"Since the benefactor has returned, has the important matter mentioned earlier been completed?"

Bai Zhu asked.

"What Doctor Bai said is correct."

"——Although this matter has been dealt with barely
But it is only temporary after all, and I am afraid that the days ahead will not be as leisurely as they are now."

Lin Feng thought about the favor he had to repay and the deal he had to make with the Emperor, shook his head, and responded.

"I haven't been here for a while. I miss Changsheng and Qiqi playing and fighting at the dining table. Do they still eat on time every day?"

"Haha, come to think of it, this is all thanks to the ingredients provided by my benefactor."

"——In terms of the vitality contained in them, the effects of these ingredients are actually no less than those aged tonic foods.
Even though Changsheng and Qiqi didn’t need to eat every day like ordinary people, after getting used to eating such good food, they would sit quietly at the table and wait before the meal. ”

Bai Zhu recalled the two little ones who had seemed particularly obedient in recent days, and his words unconsciously carried a hint of relief from the bottom of his heart.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he continued:
"Just now a young man in green clothes said that a benefactor had shown him the way and asked him to wait for a while at Bubulu.
I don't think his words are false, so I have arranged for Ah Gui to be in charge of reception in the backyard temporarily.
It’s just that he seems to be very interested in the flower that the benefactor left behind before he left, and he has been studying it with Changsheng in the garden for a while now.”

"Judging from his clothes, this guy should be a bard from Mondstadt.

After arriving at Bubulu, he attracted the attention of many guests with just a few words. Even Changsheng, who had been lazy during the day, started chatting with him. This is very rare. "

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked at the place on the medicine cabinet where the white snake often hid. As expected, he did not see the shadow of Changsheng. He could not help but admire the bard's special communication ability.

I don't know if it's the characteristics of the wind element or Wendy's own characteristics.
This guy who doesn't do his job properly often has a very good affinity for creatures other than humans.
Along the way, even with some less intelligent creatures he encountered on the road, he seemed to be able to communicate with them to a limited extent and obtain some information.

In addition, this guy's words and deeds are indeed consistent with the impression given by the bard, and can be regarded as "interesting".
Changsheng, who was the incarnation of an immortal, probably sensed something extraordinary in him, so it was not surprising that he was interested in him.

After Bai Zhu mentioned the flowers, Lin Feng also turned his attention and felt the concentration of the breath of life emanating from the medicine room.

Then he was somewhat surprised to find that the Qingxin Flower with "weak healing" effect that he left behind before he left was now in unexpectedly good condition.

Not only is its own vitality vigorous, but the healing aura around it is also much stronger than expected.

Curious about this situation, he asked Bai Shu in front of him:

"I see that this medicine room is full of vitality. Just stepping into it makes people feel relaxed and happy. The effect this time has far exceeded the effect of my Qingxin Flower. Could it be that Doctor Bai also knows the technology of cultivating rare plants?"

Bai Zhu shook his head when he heard this, as if to indicate that someone else was the one who contributed.

"Although there are indeed methods for growing and cultivating common medicinal herbs in the sect's classics,
But when faced with such extraordinary flowers and plants, all my experience is useless, and I am no different from those laymen."

"In fact, Changsheng has been taking care of the rare flower that you left behind. For some reason, it seems to have a special affinity for this spiritual plant.
During these days, Changsheng would often lie down beside the flowers to take a nap, and he seemed to be relying on some secret method like the "Ear Snake Dragging Dragon Method" to subtly enhance the effect of the spiritual plant. "

"But if you ask it what this ability is called and where it came from, it will only say that it learned it some time ago, and it can't remember any other details."

Bai Zhu pointed to the place where Changsheng was originally lying, indicating that this was the residence specially prepared for it. It had been a long time since the flower in the backyard was planted and it had not received the favor of its owner.

"Oh? I didn't expect that a plant I left behind would be favored by Changsheng. It must be said to be a pleasant surprise."

After hearing the specific reasons given by Bai Zhu, Lin Feng no longer felt surprised by the current result.

——After all, Changsheng was originally an immortal from the Chenyu Valley area, with the immortal name "Medicine Lord".

Even though they have lost the ability to exist independently due to the severe damage they have suffered, some of the peculiarities that once belonged only to immortals still remain to some extent.

From the cave in Yaodie Valley on the east side of Chenyu Valley in the game, we can see that the immortal "Yaojun" is very good at cultivating various medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.
The fairy branch in the Lingshu Courtyard has the miraculous effect of giving life to the slow fairy statue, allowing the stone statue to think and speak.
Thinking of Changsheng's various behaviors in the past, Lin Feng could no longer hate this little white snake who liked to go around him to ask about gossip and climb onto Qiqi to beat the rhythm for the little guy when he had nothing to do.

Recalling the area of ​​Chenyu Valley, it seemed that there was still a fairy tree with powerful vitality that he had planted in the past, as well as many medicinal herbs with extraordinary effects. Lin Feng said to Bai Zhu in front of him:
"Changsheng told me before that there is a kind of mutually beneficial contract between it and you, Doctor Bai. Therefore, the life states of the two of you will be reflected on each other in a certain proportion."

"Perhaps you haven't noticed it, Doctor Bai, but in fact, many of your hidden injuries have been subtly eliminated by the power fed back by Changsheng."

"——From this we can see that there is actually a deep connection between Changsheng and this spiritual plant with a unique breath of life.
If we can find a few spiritual herbs that have the effect of healing the foundation of life, then Changsheng and Doctor Bai, your conditions may be greatly improved."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he saw Bai Zhu in front of him with a helpless look on his face.

He sighed and said:
“Although I did not know before that Changsheng had such a characteristic that it could coexist with these exotic flowers and plants.”

"But I have actually done a lot of attempts to find these immortal things."

"——and the results of these attempts"

He paused, then shook his head and said:
"——All in vain."

"."

"Not to mention the immortal medicine that can nourish life, like the one you left behind, even those common medicinal herbs that have been aged are priceless. We have spent years trying to find only a few." "I think our lineage lacks some immortal fate after all. Even if we force it, it will be difficult for the immortals to look at us."

Recalling the attempts that I and my predecessors had made,

Bai Zhu had to admit that their lineage had not been recognized by the immortals because they often used the law of contracts to prolong the lives of patients.

Such an action that goes against fate seems to have violated some taboos. The seniors in the sect who went to visit the immortals,
Not even one of them had ever been received by an immortal, let alone had the legendary opportunity of being bestowed with the immortal herb.

"Doctor Bai, don't worry too much. This "Hearing Snake and Dragging Dragon Method" goes against the principles of life and death, and it is indeed likely to be disliked by the immortals. If you follow the path of ordinary people who visit the immortals, it will be difficult to be received by the immortals."

"——But where there is loss there is gain. Your lineage has been sacrificing its life to save others for a thousand years. If there is such a thing as fate in the world, then the time has come for you to be rewarded for your efforts over the past thousand years."

Lin Feng paused, and seeing that Bai Zhu's mood had improved, he continued:

"Although at present, I am not good at cultivating these pure exotic flowers and plants, so I cannot provide more similar plants for longevity experiments in a short period of time."

"But as far as I know, there was a fairy named "Yaojun" in Chenyu Valley where Mr. Bai was born. Although he has disappeared for a long time,
But there have always been rumors that there are still many elixirs left in his cave for those who are destined to find them later."

"After this busy period, if Mr. Bai is free, you can bring Changsheng and Qiqi with me to visit Chenyu Valley.

Although I dare not guarantee the results, if I can gain something, it will be regarded as a reward for Changsheng's chatting with me during this period of time. "

Thinking of Changsheng's current carefree and happy appearance like a child,

In order not to disrupt its daily routine of playing and frolicking with Qiqi,

Lin Feng did not intend to tell Bai Zhu that Changsheng was Yaojun before officially setting off.

After all, he still had to discuss the details of the transaction with the Emperor about the Heart of God, and there would still be some time before the group went to Chenyu Valley.
For an immortal who has lost all his memories, Lin Feng suspected that even if Changsheng knew his identity, he might not tell anyone else about it.
After all, the two words "Yaojun" may have no other meaning to it now except for being an empty code name.

——Just wait until it completely recovers its memory in the future, and then it will be up to you to choose whether to explain it to Bai Zhu and Qi Qi.

Back to the present.

After hearing Lin Feng's words that were almost "explicit", Bai Zhu

As someone who is good at understanding people's hearts, how could he not know that this was actually a gift from the noble person in front of him to himself and Changsheng.

Even though Bai Shu didn't know the true identity of Mr. Lin, from the details of his daily life, he had realized that his identity was most likely beyond his imagination.

Bringing this young man back from the wild to Bubulu is definitely the greatest fate for this lineage in the past thousand years.

——It has even become so great that it can make up for every time those immortals avoided it before.

With this thought, Bai Zhu calmed down his emotions and spoke with some inexplicable emotion:
"——In that case, I would like to thank you on behalf of Changsheng and Qiqi."

Bai Zhu cupped his hands, his gratitude evident in words.

After seeing Lin Feng accept it calmly, he continued:

"Although we in this lineage have always tried our best to prolong the patient's life and do not believe in fate or destiny,
In recent generations, people no longer hope for the favor of immortals or gods, but just do their best to do the things in front of them. "

"But the various gifts you have given me recently have made me feel that the choices made by our ancestors may not be wrong.

Even though their methods were against common sense and not recognized by the gods, their kindness was not forgotten after all."

Having said that, Bai Zhu paused, and for a moment he seemed to have mixed feelings. Although he wanted to say something else, he finally stopped here.

Seeing this, Lin Feng originally planned to say a few more words to let Bai Zhu not take it too seriously.

But at this moment, Qiqi, who was hiding behind the counter and drinking coconut milk, suddenly froze.
Just like a small animal being targeted by its natural enemy, it shivered all over.

Lin Feng watched this usually slow little zombie, not knowing where its potential had been unleashed.

In that moment, he rushed to the corner of the backyard with a reaction speed much faster than that of a normal person.

Qiqi, who looked like a child, skillfully pushed away a huge rock that was several times taller than her, jumped up, and disappeared into a dark cave.

After a few slight noises, a pair of small hands stretched out from the bottom of the cave and moved the stone back to its original place, and peace returned to the Bubu Lu.

"."

"."

"Is the recent effect of Master Hu's treatment a little too remarkable?"

"Didn't Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall try to stop her?"

Lin Feng looked at this hiding method that had evolved countless times, and looked at Bai Zhu beside him with a somewhat amused look.

"Ahem, recently, that guest official Zhongli seems to be busy with other things.
Without this close person to stop him, Master Hu's inspiration is indeed more 'creative' than before."

"However, considering the remarkable efficacy, Qiqi has hardly forgotten the patients who came to get the medicine recently, so Changsheng has been pulling me and Agui to come every day and won't let us stop."

Bai Zhu shook his head upon seeing this, apparently he was no longer surprised by Qiqi's alert look.

"."

When Lin Feng heard this, he didn't know what to say about this "treatment effect" for a moment.
After a three-second silence for Qiqi's hard times,

He then raised his head and looked at the late-coming Master Hu, and the tall figure behind the lively girl, which both he and Wendy had been thinking about.

——It was the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall who had disappeared for a while according to the people in Liyue Harbor.
