Life in the valley is quite comfortable. I get up early every morning to prepare breakfast and then go to the medicine field to observe the growth of the medicinal herbs, cultivate the soil appropriately, and water them.

In two months, Ling Ruoli managed the medicinal field in order.

Xu Xing'an treated Mei Zi as promised, but after she woke up, she couldn't face her wrinkled body. She didn't want anyone to see her appearance, so she wore a black veil all day.

The demon poison can be cured, but the original energy is missing. Xu Xing'an said frankly: "The original energy in people is like the roots of plants. If the roots of plants are cut off, the stems and leaves will wither and fall. The original energy of people is the same."

The implication is that Mei Zi doesn't have much time left, not that he is not doing his best, but Mei Zi's body is like a dead tree, and if he wants to revive, he needs to be injected with vitality.

"A dead tree comes back to life with spring," Ling Ruoli muttered to himself.

Xu Xingan glanced at her and stood up to take care of the herbs. The medicine naturally required sacrificing a person's whole body's vitality, so this matter needed to be considered, killing one person to save one person.

"Life and death are determined by fate. You can take her to fulfill her wish and spend the last moments with her." Xu Xing'an looked at the figure outside the window and knew who it was without having to guess.

Hearing his tone, Ling Ruoli was very unhappy, "Didn't you say there was a way?"

"If you want to do something that will damage your moral character," Xu Xing'an said, "don't look for people in the valley. I don't have enough manpower."

Hearing a sound outside the house, Ling Ruoli went out to check and saw Mei Zi leaving in a hurry, so she followed her.

Looking at the two men's backs, Xu Xing'an shook his head helplessly. He didn't know whether he was sighing at the uncertainty of life or his own medical skills.

In the past, she could walk for a long time without feeling tired, but now, after walking less than a mile, Mei Zi felt that her body could not hold on any longer.

The whole person collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, looking dejected, and then he kept smiling bitterly.

"Mei Zi" Ling Ruoli rushed over and was about to get closer when she was stopped and told not to go any closer.

"Forget it, A Fei," Mei Zi whispered, with an indifferent and helpless look in her eyes.

Ling Ruoli stepped forward, held her hand, smiled bitterly and said, "You are not alone. Even if it really comes to that, I will accompany you."

"A Fei, what are you talking about?"

Ling Ruoli sighed and told Mei Zi why she wanted the fox demon's inner elixir. She also said that her memory had been bad recently and she was afraid that she would forget everything, so she hoped that Mei Zi would remember it for her.

On the way back, the two of them were silent.

Seeing the two people coming back, Xu Xing'an lay down on the rocking chair and pretended to sleep.

"Stop pretending," Ling Ruoli said, "Two thousand years old demon pill"

When Xu Xing'an opened his eyes, he didn't expect that this girl had the monster's inner elixir.

Using demon pills as a guide would be much better than using human essence. After all, demons have a long cultivation period, and those who have practiced for more than a thousand years are more pure.

"enough?"

Xu Xingan took the inner pill and said carefully: "Miss Mei's illness is not serious. She may not be able to absorb all of this thousand-year-old demon pill."

"How many"

"I have only been practicing for five hundred years, but I can guarantee that she will recover as before." Xu Xing'an said affirmatively.

"Okay, the rest will be considered as consultation fee."

"That's great." Xu Xing'an put away the demon pill and said that he needed to prepare the necessary things and also needed someone to protect him so as not to be interrupted midway.

"Then I'll rely on you, sir."

Xu Xingan bowed a little embarrassedly and said, "Ah, you're welcome."

"Then don't bother sir, Ruoli will go and prepare dinner!"

Seeing the man was about to leave, Xu Xing'an stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, this is a tonic, I made it myself, drink it."

"I'm not sick!" Ling Ruoli was a little flattered. It turned out that the medicine this guy had just made was for her.

"Consider it as a thank you for taking care of the medicinal field these days." Since this girl came, he has saved himself a lot of worries. The medicinal field is well managed. If he could let the girl stay, she would be a good helper.

Ling Ruoli took the medicine, hesitated for a long time, and finally drank it.

"hooligan"

Mei Zi had been busy in the kitchen for a long time. Seeing her coming, she asked for help. “Yes.”

Ling Ruoli was picking vegetables and glanced at Mei Zi. She felt that Mei Zi was completely different from before.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing that she had not picked the vegetables for a long time, Mei Zi had to do it herself.

"You knew already!"

"What?" Mei Zi then smiled and said, "I've figured it out. It's fine to take it one day at a time. At least you're always with me."

"The miracle doctor has promised to save you. You will recover soon."

Hearing this, Mei Zi's eyes flashed with excitement, and then she asked seriously: "What did you exchange?"

"A bead"

Mei Zi turned her back and put the vegetables in her hand into the clean water to wash. "Don't lie to me. That Xu Xing'an doesn't even care about gold. He can be dismissed with a bead."

"Yes, a spirit inner elixir."

Mei Zi paused, closed her eyes, looked up and said, "You are really annoying."

I had given up in the beginning, but there was someone who didn't want to give up on me, which moved me to tears. Now he's making the decision on his own. Although I'm happy, there's still some tension.

"I, I'm sorry."

"I'm not sorry," Mei Zi said with a smile, "Since you've done this much, I'd be ungrateful if I didn't accept it! When?"

"Three Days Later"

The two looked at each other and lowered their heads to work.

"How much do you know about Li Yan, and the master who tied you up and took you as his apprentice? How dare you come here?"

"It's the same everywhere. At least we don't have to look after that old bastard in Changguo!" Ling Ruoli said.

I was just worried that if I left, it would implicate the Ling family. My father protected me with his life, and I had no connection with the Ling family, so I felt relieved.

After Mei Zi packed up, she smiled and said, "Today I will go and deliver food to the miracle doctor!"

Ling Ruoli nodded and said: "Okay"

No one was in the pharmacy, so Mei Zi came to the study and saw Xu Xing'an rummaging around. She sighed, thinking that she had been drowsy these days and had no mood when she woke up, so Ah Fei must have done all the work.

"Doctor Xu, it's time for dinner!"

Among a pile of boxes, he found a round object with a pattern carved on it. "Ah, this is it!" Xu Xing'an put away what he found.

"Miracle doctor" Mei Zi called him several times, but no one responded.

When Xu Xing'an saw Mei Zi, he said to her, "In the past, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to cure diseases and save lives. How noble! But you don't know that there is a beast called Tongtianxi. This beast specializes in eating unusual poisonous herbs, fruits and branches. It tests the medicine on itself and finds herbs that can detoxify to save people. It can be said that it is a strange beast that cares about the world."

“Such a strange beast really exists!”

"This Tongtian Beast has three horns, one on the top of its head, one on its forehead, and one on its nose. They are the essence of the Tongtian Rhino itself, a top-grade elixir. I accidentally got a treasure made from its horn, which can cure all kinds of poisons."

As she was talking excitedly, Xu Xing'an explained the reason. After checking her pulse, he could absorb the inner elixir of the demon beast through the horn of the Tongtian rhino, so that the cultivation of the demon elixir could be integrated into Mei Zi's body.

"Then thank you very much, sir!" Mei Zi bowed.

"Oh, no need. I haven't tried it before. Just make do with it!"

Mei Zi was speechless. This old man's words always gave people a feeling of being unreliable.

Just as she was about to leave, Xu Xing'an stopped her, "Which of your friends can take good care of her? She is pregnant and still working hard for you! This friend is worth it!"

"What did you say?" Mei Zi asked in shock, "Please tell me again, what happened to her?"

On the other side, Ling Ruoli waited for more than half an hour but no one came. She was hungry, so she said, "Forget it, I won't wait any longer," and left some food for Mei Zi. Just as she was about to start eating, someone came back.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

As soon as Mei Zi came in, she pulled her aside and asked, "Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

"It's pretty good!" Ling Ruoli said, "Why did it take so long? I've been waiting for a long time. I'm starving."

"Sorry, something delayed me!" Mei Zi put down the pheasant she had just shot, "Have a good rest after dinner."

Ling Ruoli was a little uncomfortable: "Why are you so weird?"

"A Fei, you..." The words came to Mei Zi's lips but she didn't say them out loud. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Stop hesitating. If you have something to say, just say it nicely!"
