Chapter 738: Sacrifice is life

Two hours later, the old doctor began to give acupuncture.

This old doctor was also a capable man. Although the time was short, he had mastered at least 90% of the key points. Without much guidance from Shi Liyuan, he inserted silver needles into the back of Ye Wenyan's head quickly, steadily and accurately.

But he said: "I am just memorizing it by rote. I have never used this kind of acupuncture before and I have no idea what kind of disease it can cure. But you are a skilled doctor and you must know more than me. You have taught me a lot these days. I have learned a lot from prescriptions to acupuncture. In my heart, I am already half of your disciple, but I don't know if you are willing to accept an old man like me. Alas, I am old and I don't have many years left to live. Sometimes I wonder, what's the point of learning all these skills? How many more years can I treat patients? I don't have any disciples or anything like that. When I die, I will take them into the coffin and the inheritance will be cut off.

If only I could live longer, I would dream of living a hundred years, but it’s a pity that I’m only sixty years old. Alas! "

Ye Wenyan closed her eyes and tried to feel the changes in her spiritual power. Although she ignored the old doctor, she listened to everything he said and was filled with emotion.

It is said that after hundreds of years of changes, humans have long been accustomed to a lifespan of sixty years. But in reality, this is not the case!

No one would complain that their life is too long, and no one would not want to live longer. The restrictions on life span on this continent have long become a gap that people cannot jump over, and have also become a nightmare in people's hearts.

She is willing to do whatever it takes to break this nightmare, hoping that by then, everyone will understand her.

The old doctor has already started calculating the time, and in order to be more accurate, he even lit a stick of incense in the room.

Ye Wenyan said that this acupuncture method needs to stay for half an hour. So they just watched and counted the number of incense sticks that burned out. In fact, there was no spiritual power left in her body. This acupuncture method sacrificed her vitality. Ten years of vitality, in exchange for the recovery of spiritual power in a short period of time, was enough for her to set up a spiritual gathering formation for her master Li Yuan. After that, the spiritual power dissipated and could not be used for several months.

She had never told anyone about this, especially Shi Liyuan. She must not tell anyone because if she did, he would never let her do it.

But in the current situation, if she doesn't do this, this trip south will probably be stuck in Qiuguan City and she won't be able to move forward.

The snowstorm was getting stronger and stronger. The people in the city could no longer go out. Even the officials had a hard time walking on the streets. Every day, people froze to death, and every day, people were buried in the snow and could not be found. Large tracts of crops outside the city were buried by the snow and could no longer be harvested. The food stored by the people in the city was consumed day by day, and it was getting less and less. If this continued, people would freeze to death when they went out, and starve to death at home.

Yun Xiao accused her of not saving Feng Zhaolian, and she also blamed herself for not being willful for once in the face of the greater good of the world.

But she couldn't. From childhood to adulthood, the training of the Xuanmai Ye family was centered around two words: "responsibility". She had a responsibility to the world and to the shoreless sea at the other end of time and space. Grandfather had long said that the five veins existed not for no reason, but to shoulder a mission. Perhaps the mission did not appear very clearly in front of them, but they still had to be prepared for it. When one day humans needed them, the world needed them, they would devote themselves to it without hesitation, and even sacrifice their lives.

The family teachings were still fresh in her mind, and had long been engraved in her bones. She could not and could not go against them.

Maybe Feng Zhaolian can wait, but the world can't. She can't give up the lives of more people for the sake of one person's life.

I hope that one day Feng Zhaolian will come back and be able to understand her.

Half an hour was about to pass, and her spiritual power had begun to recover. After her consciousness began to move on its own, she immediately checked her body and soon found a few white hairs in her hair.

The loss of vitality is not as simple as having a lifespan of 60 years and only 50 left. It is an indescribable discomfort, as if the vitality of all functions in the body is suddenly stripped away. Such a suddenness will make the body feel uncomfortable, and thus show signs of aging at the fastest speed. Although ten years of vitality is not enough to age too obviously, and the Xuanmai Ye family is long-lived, she will not be bound by a lifespan of 60 years. This kind of aging will only make her hair gray at most.

But she felt guilty and was afraid that Shi Liyuan would find out, so she used magic to turn her white hair black again.

Finally, half an hour later, the old doctor quickly pulled out the needles.

Ye Wenyan, who had regained his spiritual power, looked much more energetic than before, which made the old doctor marvel.

He packed up his things and left, tactfully giving Ye Wenyan and Shi Liyuan some space to talk.

The moment the door closed, Shi Liyuan grabbed her arm and stared at her for a long time before asking, "How is it?"

She nodded, "Don't worry, my spiritual power has recovered. Although it can't last too long, I can still set up a spirit gathering array for you." "I'm asking about your health!" He was so angry that he hit her, "I don't care whether your spiritual power has recovered or not, I don't care whether there are any unusual movements in the shoreless sea, and I don't even want to care about the world! Ah Yan, I just want to know if you are injured?"

"No." She said firmly, "It's just that after using this spiritual power, I won't be able to use it for a few months, and my body will be weaker. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, this kind of weather suppresses the spiritual power, so I can't use it even if I want to. As for getting sick, I get sick on the 15th of every month, and I'm used to it. Besides, I don't feel particularly uncomfortable after the acupuncture, so maybe I won't get sick." She told Shi Liyuan, "My spiritual power can last for 24 hours, which is two days. We have to take advantage of these two days to do everything we need to do, and then move to Scarlet Cloud City before the spiritual power dissipates."

He stared at her for a while, and seeing that there was really no problem at the moment, he nodded, "Okay."

Ye Wenyan probed his consciousness into the storage bracelet, thought for a moment, released Guan Bao first, and then took out some pills. He asked someone to call Yun Xiao, and handed Guan Bao and the pills to Yun Xiao. Then he said to Yun Xiao: "Guan Bao is a spirit turtle, you know that. I changed it to the size of the palm of your hand, so it is convenient for you to carry it. Although the spirit turtle can't use its spiritual power at the moment, just like in Xiushan County, it at least has a skill that can make people dizzy, maybe it can be useful to you."

After that, Guan Bao talked about the pills. "I brought these pills from Lin'an. I used my spiritual power to transform them. I can't say they can cure all diseases, but at least the diseases you have seen so far can be cured. The people of Suyuan are good at using spices and making all kinds of strange medicines. These pills can also be used as detoxification pills at critical moments. Or you can take one on the road and smoke it with fire, then put the smoke into a snuff bottle, take it out and smell it every few days, and you will not be afraid of Suyuan's incense."

Yun Xiao was stunned. "You let me stay one more day just to give me these things?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Yes, although I can't go with you, I have to do my best to help Feng Zhaolian. In addition, I also have a favor to ask. If you meet Ji Duo and Ji Rong along the way, please tell them that I am safe and ask them not to chase me to Chiyun City, but just go back to Lin'an. The weather has changed suddenly, and the capital Lin'an must not be in any better condition."

Yun Xiao took a deep breath and bowed to Ye Wenyan, "Okay, thank you, Fourth Miss." Then he looked at Shi Liyuan, "Thank you, too, Lord Emperor. When I find her, I will definitely bring her to Scarlet Cloud City to meet up with you. I know she's also thinking about that shoreless sea, but unfortunately something went wrong along the way. It's really fate."

Yun Xiao finished speaking, bowed to them again, and was about to leave. When he turned around, Guan Bao, who had been in a daze, finally reacted and shouted, "Wait! Wait! No, Ye Wenyan, what do you mean? Are you just going to give me away like this? I am your turtle, not an object, how can you give me to anyone you want?"

Ye Wenyan stroked his forehead and said, "I didn't give you away. I just lent you to Yun Xiao for use."

"Borrow? Aren't you still treating me as an object? Why don't you lend your man to someone? I don't care, I'm not going anywhere. Hurry up and put me back into your storage space. I haven't finished eating my nectar yet! I'm a dignified spirit turtle. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth hadn't suddenly disappeared, I could have transformed into a human form in another hundred or eighty years. Now I've become a plaything that you borrow and give away. The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill!" Guan Bao was very angry and struggled to jump out of Yun Xiao's arms.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao put it on the ground and said to Ye Wenyan, "Since it doesn't want to, there's no need to force it."

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, lowered his head to look at Guan Bao, and after a while he asked, "If Yan Budu wanted to lend you to someone else, would you refuse?"

Guan Bao shuddered reflexively when he heard the name Yan Budu. Then he heard Ye Wenyan snort coldly: "As expected, you are still only afraid of your former master. In your eyes, I am someone you can bargain with at any time, or simply refuse to obey. From the way you speak, I don't think of me as your master, but it seems to be the other way around. Between you and me, you are the supreme one. In this case, Guan Bao, you don't have to follow me. I can find a spiritual pet for myself, but I can't find an ancestor for myself. I can't afford to serve an ancestor like you. I will ask someone to send you back to Xiushan County and continue to live your previous life!"

As she spoke, she was about to walk out, shouting, "Someone come!"

Guan Bao shuddered at that moment - "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why are you so stubborn, little girl? I'm just negotiating with you. If you don't agree, just say so. I'll go with him, and that's it. Why do you have to send me back? I showed you everything I saw at the beginning, so I'm your tortoise. If you send me back, wouldn't that be divorce? I don't want to be the one who is divorced. Okay, don't be angry, I apologize to you. You are the only master in my heart, and I have forgotten the one before. Now I will listen to you wholeheartedly. You can lend me to whoever you say. But..."

It looked towards Yun Xiao, "What are you borrowing me for? Where are you taking me?"
