Chapter 739

Ou Yan was lying on her back on the bed. Her black hair covered a little of her face. She was so thin that her face looked like it was hanging on a plate, but it was still white and flawless. Her long and narrow eyes were tightly shut, showing that her eye sockets were a little sunken. It was obvious that she was worried, and the sunken eye sockets made her dark eyelashes look even longer. Coupled with her fair skin, it was another kind of morbid beauty.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at this face that was completely different from the one she remembered. Her eyes couldn't help but moisten. Yes, this was a high and mighty woman. She was the younger sister of a sect master and also the head of a manor. However, she was so amiable and amiable. When she saw Zhang Xiaohua, who had just come from the countryside, she didn't look down on her, disdain, or distance. Instead, she treated her as an equal and even lent her a book on medicinal herbs.

This kind of equal treatment really comforted Zhang Xiaohua's slightly inferior heart. Just like Qiu Tong, she gave Zhang Xiaohua a motherly love.

"Young Miss, how is it?" Qiu Tong saw that Zhang Xiaohua was in a daze and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Zhang Xiaohua came to her senses and forced a smile, "Don't worry, Big Sister Qiu Tong. I will do my best to treat Big Sister Ou."

"Sigh …" When she heard Zhang Xiaohua's words, Qiu Tong seemed to hear the guilt in her voice. She let out a long sigh and didn't say anything else.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ou Yan and picked up a stool to sit in front of the bed. She narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at Ou Yan's face. She had only taken a rough look, but now that she took a closer look, she felt that Ou Yan's face was covered in a faint layer of green. Following that, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes twitched. She narrowed her eyes and released her divine sense. The moment she did so, Zhang Xiaohua's expression changed drastically.

Do you know why?

Before Zhang Xiaohua left the Guozhuang House, when Liu Qian was still taking care of the injured Zhang Xiaolong in the Guozhuang House, Zhang Xiaohua told Liu Qian that he could feel his grandmother's vitality gradually fading away. Liu Qian thought that it was because of the blood connection. Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand it himself. It wasn't until Zhang Xiaohua comprehended the Heavenly Dao that he had a certain foundation. After several opportunities, he had a deep impact on the Dao of Life and Death. Now, although his divine sense couldn't reach far, he had some special magical abilities!

For example, right now, he could clearly feel that Ou Yan's life force was slowly but steadily slipping away!

When she saw Zhang Xiaohua's expression change drastically, Qiu Tong who'd been paying attention from the side was stunned as well, and she said, "Zhang Xiaohua, could it be that you noticed something?

You … you haven't taken her pulse yet, right? "

Sighing softly, Zhang Xiaohua's lips curled up, and he said, "I'm just wondering why Sister Ou is so skinny. Isn't the Fragrance Cult's leader a little too stingy?"

"Pfft!" Qiu Tong couldn't help but laugh even though she knew Zhang Xiaohua was spouting nonsense. She then rebuked, "Hurry up and take her pulse. When she recovers, she'll make you something nice to eat."

Qiu Tong seemed to remember that Zhang Xiaohua liked to eat meat.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled, and said, "Sister Qiu Tong, you keep asking me to take her pulse. Why don't you take out Sister Ou's arm? If you want me to personally take it out from under her blanket, wouldn't that be blasphemy?"

Qiu Tong slapped her forehead, and said, "Look at me, I'm getting dizzy."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and carefully took Ou Yan's arm out from under the blanket. Seeing that her wrist was already skin and bones, Zhang Xiaohua's heart ached. She then carefully placed two fingers on Ou Yan's pulse and listened carefully. After a while, she sent her vital energy into Ou Yan's meridians.

Ou Yan's meridians were small and fragile, which was the main reason why she couldn't practice martial arts. However, Zhang Xiaohua circulated her vital energy and didn't find any abnormalities. All the major acupoints on Ou Yan's body were normal, and her internal organs were normal as well. However, due to the knot in her heart for a long time, there was some sedimentation in her heart meridians. Ou Yan was still young, and it wasn't obvious yet. When she was old, there might be major problems.

However, this wasn't what Zhang Xiaohua was looking for today. Just as Qiu Tong said, the doctors at Lingering Fragrance Peak couldn't find out what illness Ou Yan was suffering from!

Zhang Xiaohua didn't believe it. His medical skills were praised by Valley Master Nie in Rejuvenation Valley, especially when he was dealing with difficult illnesses. Hence, he used his vital energy to check Ou Yan's meridians again and again. However, he still couldn't find any abnormalities.

In the end, Zhang Xiaohua put down her hand and said apologetically to Qiu Tong, "Elder Sister Qiu Tong, I was too full of myself earlier. This … I really didn't find anything wrong with Elder Sister Ou's illness."

Qiu Tong was a little disappointed, but it wasn't out of her expectations. She forced a smile and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you're already doing well. The doctors at Lingering Fragrance Peak said the same thing."

Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She asked, "What else did the doctors say?"

"Sigh, they didn't say much. They just said that Young Lady might be suffering from heart blockage and fatigue, which caused her to be mentally sluggish and she fell into a deep sleep."

"Didn't Elder Sister Ou wake up for a while in the afternoon?

How did the doctors deal with her? "

"The doctors said that they weren't confident and only left behind a few Awakening Pills from Lingering Fragrance Peak for Young Lady to take and see if there would be any effect.

After she left, I fed one to Young Mistress. It was still useful. Not long after, Young Mistress woke up and wanted to eat some snacks from Ping Yang City. However, she only ate a little before falling asleep again. It was the same as before.

I was thinking of giving Young Lady another pill tomorrow morning to see if there would be any effect! "

"Awakening Pill?"

Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback. The pill formula of this Awakening Pill was recorded in the jade slip he had obtained from the Pill Room of the Tian Mu Peak. However, he had not paid much attention to the use of this pill. Usually, he would not hear the disciples of the Pill Tower Hall mention it. He thought that it was an ordinary pill.

"Can I take a look?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"Of course." Qiu Tong turned around and picked up a jade bottle from the table. She poured out a pill.

Zhang Xiaohua took it and looked at it carefully. It was a pill the size of a soybean. It wasn't perfectly round and was dark green in color. Before Zhang Xiaohua could bring it to her nose, a refreshing smell that was different from the usual pill fragrance rushed to her nose.

"Thin Mint Herb?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded slightly. This Thin Mint Herb had a unique smell and a refreshing smell. It was most suitable for waking up and cleansing the mind. However, this Awakening Pill smelled so pungent for two reasons. Firstly, the Thin Mint Herb used must have been young. The older the Thin Mint Herb was, the fainter the pungent smell. In the end, there was only a lingering coolness left. Secondly, there was a mistake in the refining method. It didn't capture the essence of the Way of the Immortals. Not to mention whether the essence of the Thin Mint Herb could be combined with other supplementary herbs to produce an effect, the pungent smell had already dissipated much of the medicinal effect.

"Could this Awakening Pill be effective for Ou Yan's illness?

If that's the case, perhaps the pill I refined can save Ou Yan's life? "Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself.

She then handed the Awakening Pill to Qiu Tong. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister Qiu Tong, keep this Awakening Pill. When you give it to Miss tomorrow, let me take a look. Perhaps I can see its effects!"

Qiu Tong kept the pill and nodded. "Tomorrow. I hope this Awakening Pill will be useful."

Then, she suddenly realized something. "Where can I find you tomorrow?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed. "I'm now in the Misty Hall in the front mountain. I'm a disciple on duty from the Pill Expanding Hall. However, it's not convenient for you to find me. I'll do it myself."

She then looked at the full moon in the sky and said, "But it's already late. I'll have to nag you all night."

Qiu Tong was stunned. "There are many rooms in this manor, but it's too late to pack them up. Moreover, there are many spies in the Incense Cult. You don't want others to know, right?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded. "It's fine. Just find me a place. If it's not convenient here, I'll just find a cave on the mountain."

"There's no need for that. Come with me." With that, she led Zhang Xiaohua out.

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "You don't have to go out. Just tell me where it is and I'll go there myself."

"I see."

Qiu Tong thought for a while and said, "This courtyard is empty. There aren't many people there. If you're brave enough, you can go there and stay for a night."

"Alright. I'll come over first thing in the morning. Don't let the servants come over."

With that, Zhang Xiaohua went out and made a hand seal. Without waiting for Qiu Tong to come out, she went straight to the backyard.

When Qiu Tong came out, Zhang Xiaohua was long gone. It was like a dream. She couldn't help but believe that the country youth of the past was no longer someone she could see through!

Just as Qiu Tong said, no one came to the backyard. It was rather dusty. Zhang Xiaohua went in and found a random room. She took out a praying mat and sat down cross-legged. Then, she set up a restriction. Not long after, she fell into her daily slumber.

The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua first finished her homework. Seeing that it was still early, she sat on the praying mat and carefully considered Ou Yan's condition.

Ou Yan's condition was really strange. Even in Rejuvenation Valley, she had never heard Mu Qingxuan talk about such a case. It made her feel like she didn't know where to start. After thinking for a while, she didn't have any ideas. Zhang Xiaohua could only take out the pill formula that recorded the Spirit Awakening Pill and read it carefully.

The Spirit Awakening Pill was refined using the same method as the Yuhuandan Pill. It was also refined using the two main ingredients, Lotus Grass and Clear Eucalyptus Fruit, along with a dozen other supplementary ingredients. The Lotus Grass and Clear Eucalyptus Fruit weren't considered rare compared to the Ice Soul Grass. Even the Mystic Birch Forest had plenty of them. Zhang Xiaohua didn't take long to prepare all the herbs needed to refine the Spirit Awakening Pill. She placed them in the coin pouch!

After preparing everything, Zhang Xiaohua put away the praying mat and turned around to return to Ou Yan's room. Qiu Tong was anxiously pacing left and right. When she saw Zhang Xiaohua suddenly appear, she couldn't help but jump in fright!
