Chapter 597: Chapter 599, Wonders of the World (1 more)
If it had been before, Yun Jinnian would definitely not believe that an insect could be so clever, but having encountered one, she now understood that in this vast world, there is no end to wonders.
Just as when she fell down the snowy mountain, she thought she was surely doomed to die, yet now she was well and alive.
Thinking of this, Yun Jinnian took the Spiritual Poisonous Insect to the main house.
It was the first time she had entered Han Tianci’s main house. She just sat in the small hall and did not go to the bedroom.
She took off the pouch from her waist and opened it to reveal a small cauldron; the Spiritual Poisonous Insect was lying inside, asleep. Beneath its abdomen were several snow-white insect eggs, each a tiny speck.
Elder Mu and Elder Tu followed her inside and peered into the small cauldron without a word, their faces filled with joy.
"Saintess, please drip a few drops of blood onto this small cauldron," Elder Mu suggested.
Yun Jinnian thought for a moment and nodded her head. She took a silver needle and pricked her left thumb, dripping blood onto the cauldron, which was absorbed instantly without leaving a trace.
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect stretched and yawned, opening its eyes to look at Yun Jinnian with longing.
"Little thing, you’re awake!"
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect blinked its eyes.
Yun Jinnian smiled and fed it with her blood, and after consuming four or five drops, the insect stopped eating and prepared to close its eyes to continue sleeping.
Yun Jinnian hurriedly said, "Little thing, can you spit out a bit of essence for me? There’s someone here whose life is hanging by a thread and urgently needs to be saved!"
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect didn’t really understand, but seeing Yun Jinnian mimic a vomiting gesture, it tilted its head, thought for a moment, and reluctantly spat out a tiny amount.
Yun Jinnian quickly caught it with the silver needle, tenderly stroked the insect’s head, and the insect rubbed its head against Yun Jinnian’s fingers before closing its eyes to sleep.
Yun Jinnian handed the silver needle to Elder Mu, "Despite being just an insect, it is so endearing. Elder Mu, bring me a piece of Blood Lotus Flower later, I will take it to the palace to feed it!"
"Yes!"
Elder Mu and Elder Tu’s medical skills were also not bad; they were capable of rejoining tendons. Yun Jinnian had learned some of the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles too, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t grasp its essence, so it still took Yun Jinnian herself to do it personally.
After sorting out the Spiritual Poisonous Insect, Yun Jinnian washed her hands and the silver needle with strong alcohol. Then she cut into the flesh that was almost healed, found the severed tendon, placed the essence spat out by the insect in the middle, and took extreme care stitching it together with a fine needle threaded with Heavenly Silkworm Thread.
Sweating profusely, Hemei moved forward to wipe Yun Jinnian’s brow but Han Tianci was quicker, using a handkerchief to do it.
At that moment, Yun Jinnian couldn’t be distracted at all and was completely focused on the task at hand.
The room was silent, fearing any noise might disturb Yun Jinnian.
After a long time.
Yun Jinnian finished the task, cut off the Heavenly Silkworm Thread with small scissors, and stood up. To Rourou, she said, "Let’s leave it at that for now. This Heavenly Silkworm Thread is so fine and soft, I don’t know if it will become embedded in the tendon. In a few days, I’ll cut it open to check. If it has integrated, there’s no need to remove it, but if not, it still needs to come out!"
Yun Jinnian finished speaking, feeling her mouth dry and her stomach growling with hunger.
"Hemei, I’m hungry, prepare lunch!"
Everyone paused, then covered their lips and chuckled lightly, yet also with admiration and reverence.
After all, Yun Jinnian was just a thirteen-year-old child.
Han Tianci said with a smile, "I’m hungry too, let’s set it up in my courtyard!"
Hemei and Henuan went to help Yun Jinnian freshen up, and someone prepared the meal. By the time Yun Jinnian was done washing up and had changed clothes, a sumptuous meal had already been laid out on the table.
