Chapter 27 No Regrets
Are you still there?
The sound reached Shen Che, who was returning from the Mu family's banquet and was resting on his bed.
Throughout the entire process, the jade cicada on his waist showed no abnormalities, indicating that the Mu family did not use any other methods against him at the time.
During the time, perhaps because he was drunk, Mu Changming generously gave him a Worry-Free Pill, saying it was a promise from the Mu family that should have been given long ago.
He didn't take the pill either, but kept it close to his body.
He was startled awake when he suddenly heard Luo Qianhua calling his name.
From the moment he gave the medicine to Luo Qianhua, he increased the time difference between the two.
He thought the other party would contact him soon, but he didn't expect to wait for almost an hour, which meant that several days had passed on the other side.
At that moment, when Shen Che looked over there again, he saw Luo Qianqiu, who was pale and so weak that she looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Dr. Luo, what's wrong with you? Even if you have the medicinal herbs and can concoct the medicine, you still need to take good care of your health."
"Thank you for your concern, but I know my own body well. I apologize for the long delay in contacting you."
After catching his breath, Luo Qianhua continued, "Besides preparing the medicine these past few days, I've also been thinking about your pill. I've remembered it."
"A long time ago, I saw a fragment of a text. It is not quite the same as your medicine, but they should lead to the same goal."
At this point, Luo Qianhua's expression turned somewhat serious, which startled Shen Che slightly.
"Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
"This medicine is not just problematic, it's downright monstrous. Although I couldn't fully discern the medicinal ingredients, I could taste the main component."
"This is the blood and bones of an infant, or more precisely, the blood and bones of an unborn baby!"
"In that state, the innate energy hasn't dissipated, and using special medicinal herbs to enhance its function makes it an extremely vicious drug!"
"If my guess is correct, this should be a medicine that can enhance one's skills and solidify one's foundation, right?"
Holding the Worry-Free Pill that Shen Che had given him, he was quite confident in his ability to identify medicinal herbs.
"Moreover, this drug contains an addictive ingredient."
"Once taken, one pill may not cause any significant abnormalities, but if two or three pills are taken, it can make one unable to stop, and one will lose oneself silently."
"Initially, it can cause irritability and anxiety. However, if there is another medicine to counteract this, this medicine can be a powder or a fragrant powder."
"Upon contact, the person who takes this pill will become calm, and will be unconsciously drawn to it."
At this point, Luo Qianhua paused for a moment before asking, "Where did you get this medicine?"
"It was a gift from someone else!" Shen Che understood what this meant; this medicine was a trap, and a huge one at that.
He looked outside, where the Mu family home was brightly lit, but his gaze now held a hint of coldness.
"Worry-Free Pill, what a wonderful Worry-Free Pill!"
"Dr. Luo, thank you so much, I understand!"
"Wait!" After finishing discussing the medicine, Luo Qianhua suddenly said, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"This question may be somewhat inappropriate, but I still want to ask." After hesitating for a moment, Luo Qianhua slowly spoke.
"You can send me so many medicinal herbs all at once, or you can deliver a single pill like this directly to me. I wonder if you can pass on knowledge as well?"
After speaking, Luo Qianhua waited blankly for Shen Che's reply, her face full of anticipation.
"Why ask this question?" Although he didn't know why he asked this, Shen Che hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully. This question didn't seem to matter much to him.
"That's possible, but I don't know if you..."
"I knew it would work, I knew it!" Luo Qianhua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Shen Che's affirmative answer.
He had lived for decades and seen a lot, but he had never seen anything like what he had seen in the last few days.
That's why he boldly guessed that the other party could not only transport goods, but perhaps other things as well. And sure enough, it was true.
"Actually, I have another request!"
He stroked several booklets, which represented half a lifetime of his hard work.
After a long while, Luo Qianhua said with a pleading look, "I hope you can do me a favor. My time is coming to an end, but my medical skills cannot be buried with me."
"Can you take all my medical skills?"
"Please find me a successor to pass on my medical skills and save more people."
"You!" Shen Che never expected that the other party would make such a request.
He was always the one who had to ask for it; this was the first time someone had given it to him personally, yet he still felt hesitant.
I should have been ruthless and taken it directly, so the old man wouldn't change his mind, but why am I still hesitating and not wanting to?
Seeing that the voice in her mind never sounded, Luo Qianhua pleaded again.
"I am about to die, and I have spent my entire life practicing medicine, yet both of my apprentices have died here. I do not wish for my medical skills to end in obscurity. Can you help me?"
"Please pass on my medical skills and the notes I've kept over the years, so they can save more lives. I beg you!"
"Alright, then consider your medical skills and medical books as part of the reward for those medicinal herbs. As for passing on the tradition, don't worry!"
"I will definitely pass on your medical skills. Many people study them, and they will save even more lives."
"Alright, that's good. Let's begin then, I'm afraid I can't hold on much longer!"
"Okay!" He nodded, and in the next moment, countless medical knowledge flooded into his mind, as if he had spent decades practicing medicine and solved countless difficult and complicated diseases.
From medical skills to pharmacology, from medicinal herbs to meridians, the knowledge was so vast that Shen Che felt his head was throbbing for a moment.
Several more volumes of Luo Qianhua's medical notes were now at hand.
On the other side, Luo Qianhua also felt her mind go blank for a moment.
He couldn't remember any of the medical skills, or even any knowledge related to them, as if he had never encountered them before.
At this moment, Luo Qianhua did not feel the slightest emptiness; instead, he laughed loudly and heartily.
"I knew it! I knew it could really work!"
He lay down by the bed, cut his wrist with a dagger, and placed it in a large ceramic basin that had been prepared beforehand.
Fresh blood flowed down his wrist and into the ceramic basin.
"Dr. Luo, what are you doing?" Upon seeing this, Shen Che immediately tried to stop him.
However, he can teleport things because he can consider it an investment. He can also teleport knowledge and martial arts skills because he can consider it a return on his investment.
But he couldn't teleport himself there, at least not now.
"This is my own choice. Now that there is a great plague in the city, only my blood will be of use."
"I am eighty-two years old this year and have lived long enough. Now that my legacy has been fulfilled, I have no regrets."
As she spoke in a low voice, Luo Qianhua felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, as if all the memories of her life were swirling and flashing through her mind at that moment.
He thought of his former lover, his two apprentices, his life's struggles, and Fuqing City, which had originally seemed destined for death but was gradually beginning to show signs of life.
The sound of dripping water echoed in my ears; it was the sound of my own blood flowing. I figured I had enough blood in my body.
A final, faint smile appeared on his lips.
"I have no regrets in this life!"
