Chapter 1260: Chapter 1261 Guh Siyi’s Engagement (1)
With the five-thousand-year-old herbs, coupled with other precious medicinal materials, healing Ye Chenghong’s hair is not a difficult task. Afterwards, An Yiqing can refine some advanced Qinglu Beauty Elixir to completely restore his aging appearance.
However, while the external issues can be resolved, the inner breath that Ye Chenghong lost due to sadness will need to be carefully recuperated to be restored.
By the Spirit Spring, An Yiqing withdrew the Internal Breath Flame and opened the lid of the Medicine Cauldron.
Inside the large Medicine Cauldron, a black transparent pill emitted a lasting fragrance.
An Yiqing placed the pill into a small porcelain bottle and tucked it into her pocket, gently letting out a sigh of relief.
"Oh my! I say, Old Black, can you stop eating? Even with the growth speed of medicinal herbs in Ancient Space, it can’t keep up with your eating pace!" From afar, Old Jin’s exasperated voice resounded.
"Woof! Don’t you know that my spiritual power relies entirely on these herbs for supply? I’ve been hungry for ages."
An Yiqing heard the conversation between the two little fellows and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
When did Xiao Hei’s body require precious herbs to fill its belly?
Could it be that it’s about to level up again?
An Yiqing felt her way toward the medicine field. As she approached, the arguing Xiao Hei and Old Jin quickly rushed over to her.
"If your eyesight isn’t good, don’t wander around! Oh my! Every one of you is making me, Master Cat, worry!"
Listening to Old Jin’s complaints, An Yiqing helplessly twitched her mouth and rolled her eyes hard.
"Xiao Hei, what’s going on with your body? How come you never needed herb supplies before?"
Xiao Hei shook its head, then remembered that An Yiqing couldn’t see. Blinking its round eyes, Xiao Hei obediently answered An Yiqing’s question.
"I don’t know either. Ever since the master went missing, I’ve felt extremely hungry every day. No matter what I eat, I can’t get full. I keep thinking about the big white radishes here every day. Master, is there something wrong with my body?"
An Yiqing bent down, gently patted Xiao Hei’s little head, and embraced its small body.
After a while, she softly sighed.
Xiao Hei’s body wasn’t experiencing problems, or at least with her current medical arts, she couldn’t detect any issues. But if that’s the case, why is Xiao Hei so hungry?
Hmm? Hungry?
A sudden flash of insight crossed An Yiqing’s mind as she recalled something. Before she went missing, she too felt terribly hungry every day and needed to eat a lot.
Could Xiao Hei’s current situation be similar to how she was at that time?
"Xiao Hei, aside from feeling very hungry recently, is there anywhere else you’re uncomfortable?"
Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then shook its head, its moist round eyes looking at An Yiqing, "No, Xiao Hei is doing just fine. Even though I feel very hungry, my body doesn’t feel weak. Master, don’t worry, Xiao Hei is alright."
An Yiqing reassuringly rubbed Xiao Hei’s little body, embedding this matter firmly in her heart.
For now, Xiao Hei’s condition mirrors her own back then. She can only take one step at a time and perhaps soon visit the Spirit Spring to see if the Jade Spirit will have any effect.
At the Spirit Spring, An Yiqing, with the help of Xiao Hei and Old Jin, moved the half-human-high transparent Jade Spirit.
After being nurtured long-term by the magical Spirit Spring, the already crystalline Jade Spirit now appeared even more dazzling and radiant.
"Xiao Hei, try absorbing the energy of the Jade Spirit."
Xiao Hei obediently walked over to the Jade Spirit, stretched out its little paw, and placed it on top, letting the spiritual energy inside circulate.
