Jialiang put his hand to his chest in disbelief. His heart had never beaten so strongly.

I got up from the ground and jumped twice tentatively. My waist and legs were no longer sore, and I felt extremely good.

"Jiang Xi... I'm cured, my illness is really cured--!" Jialiang was as happy as a child at this moment.

Jiang Xi felt a lump in his throat and burst into tears of joy.

The endless bitterness in my heart was released at this moment. I hugged Jialiang and everything was said without words.

When Jialiang fell ill, Jiang Xi promised A Yu before going out to collect herbs that no one in their family would be in danger.

Now, the promise has been fulfilled, may the Rock King bless you.

"I don't know why, but every time I see such a scene, I feel happy." Changsheng raised his head and looked at Bai Zhu.

"That's what we do, isn't it?"

"The miracle of defying life and death, summoned by inhuman power, is fascinating precisely for this reason."

Bai Zhu also looked at Changsheng and smiled happily.

When the whole family is together, nothing makes us happier than a happy ending.

[Oh yeah! No knife, no one is dead, long live my wife!]

To be honest, before I saw the ending, I really thought Jialiang was hopeless. I even doubted my wife's righteousness and how she couldn't even do such a thing.

[Who knew she simply didn't understand pharmacology and medical skills, and didn't dare to act rashly. I'm sorry, I'm guilty. I'll confess right now and offer 648 for my wife!]

[The above person, you really should repent. Seeing your sincerity, I forgive you on behalf of my wife.]

[I heard this calculation in Teyvat.]

[Other people kick the knife away and stab themselves, but my wife kicks the knife away and breaks it in the process. My wife is awesome!]

[With my wife here, nothing unexpected happened. Luckily, I've always firmly believed in my wife, hehe...]

Hunhun showed an expected expression. This wave, this wave, she was a prophet, and she stood in the atmosphere from the beginning.

Smile crookedly and click the mouse.

I thought the story ended here, but I didn’t expect there would be more to come?

On the way back to Liyue Harbor, Paimon suddenly thought of a question.

Hu Tao said that Bai Zhu seemed to have a strong obsession with [immortality].

After spending some time together, Paimeng felt that Bai Zhu was not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve immortality, so she asked directly.

"Bai Shu, we heard from Hu Tao that you are obsessed with [immortality]. Why is that?"

"Bai Zhu, it seems that you haven't hidden it from everyone. At least that Hall Master Hu has detected some clues." Changsheng was somewhat gloating.

"Including my master, all those in our lineage who have signed contracts with Changsheng throughout the generations have died young."

"Hey?! Changsheng, are you some kind of monster?"

Paimeng was surprised after hearing Bai Zhu's words.

"You are the demon. Back in Chenyu Valley, even the immortals had to give me face. With my help to regulate your body, you can not only prolong your life, but also live a long life. You won't get stomach upset no matter what you eat."

"No matter how many people pray, they can't get the opportunity to ask a fairy to possess their body." Changsheng turned his head away arrogantly, not wanting to pay attention to Paimeng.

"Isn't this completely contrary to what Bai Zhu said? Could it be that one of you two is lying?" Paimeng spread his hands.

"Paimon, this is a very, very long story..."

Bai Zhu's voice began to speak, and a PV began to play.

At that time, there were diseases that plagued all living beings, and a medicine master made a great vow to eradicate the suffering in the world.

But even with kindness and ingenuity, mortals cannot defeat the ravages of natural disasters...

After practicing medicine for decades, even the people closest to him have fallen ill and are about to say goodbye to the pharmacist.

Legend has it that deep in the mountains of Chenyu Valley lives the God of Medicine who can cure all diseases. The pharmacist went to the mountain alone, but only found a white snake with a weak breath and exhausted power.

The white snake slowly spoke, "Sign a contract and live with me, and I will teach you the secret method of healing and saving lives. But you must not forget, this method... will eventually harm you."

The pharmacist uses methods beyond mortal reach to reverse life and death and perform miracles.

But separation still comes unexpectedly, and the person who passes away becomes a pharmacist who has exhausted his vitality.

Then, the pharmacist passed the contract to his last patient - his favorite disciple, and the disciple decided to use his life to save more lives.

This goes on from generation to generation...

"Until Master wants to use this method to treat a close relative of a younger generation..." Bai Zhu said here and turned to look at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"How is my method of treating Jialiang different from Master's?"

"At first, I kept saying that this method was an evil method that would only quench thirst with poison, a poisonous technique that went against the laws of nature. I didn't want to see Master waste his life for Jialiang again."

"I can't sacrifice one of my loved ones in exchange for the life of another..."

"I used the remains of the demon god to make medicine for Jialiang. At the last moment after I fainted, I realized that I was using my own life to exchange for Jialiang's life."

After listening to Baizhu and Jiang Li's stories, Paimeng felt mixed emotions, and finally understood why Changsheng had said that Jiang Li had also embarked on this old path.

"Baizhu, Gracilaria, you..."

"Hehe... don't be sad, Paimeng, aren't we all fine now?" Bai Zhu said.

"Before Master passed away, he left me a question. Senior Sister's words reminded Master of the time when our great master passed away. Master felt the same emotions as the family members at his bedside."

"Master asked me, aren't the lives lost prematurely because of this contract worth saving?"

"Is this contract poison or medicine for us?"

"What about now? Do you have an answer?" Changsheng raised his neck.

"What would you have done if I hadn't signed a contract with you when my master entrusted you to me?" Bai Zhu asked Changsheng.

"...Well, I will probably go back to Yaojun Mountain to have a good sleep, and then I can go to see my old friends and your ancestors." Changsheng's tone was relaxed, as if he had already put life and death aside.

"Then there's no need to think about it anymore. Since there's a life worth saving right in front of me, and I know how to save it, there's no reason not to save it."

"I don't want Changsheng to lose the contract and die, nor do I want the next person to inherit the contract and die young. So... isn't there only one way?"

This is why Bai Zhu pursues [immortality].

"Liyue is fortunate to have someone as pure-hearted as Mr. Bai Zhu."

"Mr. Zhongli, you're joking. I'm just a moth that wants to pursue the light but doesn't want to be burned by the flames."
