Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 389 Lily, who is not human and has a complex background
"Putting aside whether you live or die, could you make it a little darker? It's really blinding."

Before Lily could wipe her snot on his thigh, Zhang Ze pulled his leg away and took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.

"What's going on?" Hearing the commotion outside, Junior Sister and Ah Li came out as well.

Seeing that Lily seemed even brighter than last night, Junior Sister and Ah Li also put on sunglasses.

"I'm going to die..." Lily continued to sob.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's go inside first. Staying here is like being a monkey show."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Zhang Ze picked up Lily with one hand and threw her into the yard.

After closing the courtyard gate, Zhang Ze looked at Lily, who was sitting on the ground, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless, and asked curiously.

"What happened to you?"

He crouched down and used his hands to probe the light around Lily, but he felt nothing. The golden light was neither qi nor demonic energy, and he couldn't tell where it came from.

Moreover, judging from Lily's appearance, her breathing was deep and even, her head was pointed, and she was making a lot of noise. It was obvious that she had not yet reached the stage where a person's words become kind when they are about to die.

"Can't you see it? Haven't you noticed after all these days? Don't you care about me at all?"

Lily pointed to her glittering face
"I saw it, you're glowing, and then what?" Ah Li, who was perched on her junior sister's head, took out a stick from somewhere and poked Lily's twin ponytails.

“Yes, what does this have to do with you dying? And what kind of magical artifact did you use to create this light?” Zhang Ze asked.

"This isn't a magical artifact! It's just me radiating light! Me! I'm radiating light!" Lily stood up and pointed to her large face.

Zhang Ze, Chen Qin, and A Li: "Huh?"

Lily, "What are you all sighing about!"

It's sad, but ever since Lily started shining in the North until today, no one has really cared about her.

Everyone thought she was up to something new again.

As for Lily herself, she had been busy helping Xiangxiang and the others move, and because she was naturally easygoing, she didn't pay much attention to the matter.

Aside from the glowing, there was nothing wrong with her body. She thought the glowing was just like a dog shedding its fur when it's the season, and it was a normal phenomenon.

Until last night.

After smelling her junior sister's potent perfume, she suddenly felt an inexplicable drowsiness, the kind of drowsiness that made her feel like she would die if she didn't sleep.

But after Lily managed to crawl back to her home, she couldn't fall asleep.

Meditation is useless, banging your head against the wall is useless.

Even drinking two bowls of the "bewitching soup" didn't work.

I wanted to move but couldn't. I lay in bed with my eyes open, feeling extremely tired but unable to rest, suffering from insomnia and anxiety.

At the same time, its own brightness also increases.

The drowsiness gradually subsided as dawn broke and the sun rose higher in the sky.

As soon as her drowsiness subsided, Lily rushed here for help.

Zhang Ze scratched his head, circled Lily twice, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Why don't we take her to see a doctor?" the junior sister suggested.

Thousand Machine Town has expanded several times over, and because all six sects have settled here, its convenience far surpasses that of other cultivator markets.

You can find almost anything you're looking for here.

West of Qianji Town, Yaowang Valley opened a clinic here.

Its name is Martial Arts Medical Hall.

The clinic is named this not because the owner's surname was Wu, but because the clinic has two floors.

The first floor was used for practicing martial arts, and the second floor was used for medical treatment, hence the name.

For serious illnesses, use the teleportation array; for minor illnesses, take the stairs.

When the person with a minor illness went upstairs, all he could see on either side were muscular, burly men.

All I could hear were long, drawn-out breaths and the crackling of knuckles.

When someone with a serious illness opens their eyes, they are greeted by a massive, granite-like chest, the owner of that chest with a sunny, enthusiastic, yet menacing smile, and the medicine bottle and bills handed to them.

In short, thanks to its unparalleled service and superb medical skills, the martial arts medical clinic has maintained an invincible record of zero negative reviews, zero medical disputes, and zero overdue medical bills since its opening.

Even Qianjige, which prioritizes customer satisfaction, cannot achieve this.

After all, Qianji Pavilion can't use the Thousand Machine Thunder to threaten customers, saying they'll blow you up if you don't pay.
After passing through the noise on the first floor, Zhang Ze and his junior sister led Lily up to the second floor and, following the signs, arrived at the door of the room at the end of the corridor.

Upon entering, one sees an elderly man dressed in the blue robes of Medicine King Valley, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, sitting behind a desk, his eyes closed in meditation.

Zhang Ze and Chen Qin weren't very familiar with the people of Medicine King Valley, but judging from the old man's demeanor and condition, he must be one of the Medicine King Valley elders who was here on duty.

It should be quite reliable.

As soon as the group entered, the old man spoke.

"sit."

The old man's voice was strong and reassuring.

Lily sat down in the chair nervously, but before she could describe her symptoms, the old man suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong, senior?" Lily asked quickly.

However, the old man remained silent, only frowning and shaking his head.

Finally, the old man sighed deeply and said calmly.

"Go home and have something good to eat. Do whatever you want and be happy."

Zhang Ze, "?"

"It's not anything else! I'm still a child! Grandpa, please think of something, I..."

Lily was in a complete panic.

The old man continued to shake his head, "Life is full of helplessness; it's fate, it's all predetermined. You..."

His words implied a definitive conclusion: if it's incurable, go home and wait to die.

Lily was so scared she almost cried.

However, Lily quickly stopped crying because she saw a white shadow flying through the air outside the window.

The white-clad figure kicked the window open and then kicked the old man in the back of the head.

Then the owner of the foot stomped down hard.

The force was so great that it slammed the old man's face into the table in front of him.

The owner of the jade feet, Senior Sister Xiaoxue, who had become a spirit from the Twin Trees of Medicine King Valley, stood on the old man's body, hands on her hips, looking down at Zhang Ze and the others.

"Sorry for the trouble, don't listen to this guy's nonsense."

"Is this your patient?" Zhang Ze asked curiously, looking at the old man who was twitching every now and then to prove that he was still alive.

He remembered that there were no mental hospitals in Qianji Town, so there shouldn't be any patients running away.

"No, this is my junior brother, Xiao Liu. He is a proper elder of Medicine King Valley, and he is very skilled in treating qi deviation."

Xiaoxue explained. "Since he's an elder, why did you say he was talking nonsense?" A-Li asked.

Xiaoxue: "This idiot used himself as a test subject a few days ago and accidentally ate Fuji's mushroom. Now he is in a hallucinatory and delirious state and is somewhat unclear about his own identity."

"So what does he think he is now?" the junior sister asked curiously.

"Veterinarian," Xiaoxue replied.

Lily, "."

'Oh well, a veterinarian it is, it's better than a terminal illness,' Lily comforted herself.

"Then... then please, Senior Sister Xiaoxue, examine Lily and see what's wrong with her luminous syndrome," Zhang Ze said.

Xiaoxue: "No problem, no problem."

After capturing the old man Xiao Liu, Xiao Xue tied him up with vines, then threw him outside and hung him on a tree in the yard.

"Ignore him, let's go see a doctor."

Senior Sister Xiaoxue sat down, and with a flick of her hand across the table, the concave mark on her face, which still exuded an air of otherworldly elegance even after her head was stepped on, was restored to its original state.

The table is as good as new again.

This time, Lily finally finished explaining her condition completely.

After listening, Xiaoxue looked at the glowing Lily and said "Oh".

"Let me be healthy."

It's unclear whether she or Fuhime learned bad habits from her, but their methods of dealing with Lily are strikingly similar.

Green branches sprouted from under Xiaoxue, wrapping around Lili, enveloping her, and turning her into a green ball that hung in the air.

After playing with Lily for a while, Xiaoxue seemed to notice something.

"Hmm, that's interesting. I feel like I've seen your situation somewhere before."

"What illness does Lily have? Can it be cured?" Zhang Ze asked hurriedly.

"What you have isn't actually an illness, how should I put it..."

Seemingly to be on the safe side, Xiaoxue waved her hand and summoned a few grass seeds from the medicine cabinet in the room. With her spiritual power, the grass seeds took root and sprouted in her hand, and a golden-red spiritual plant appeared in Xiaoxue's hand.

Xiaoxue took the unknown spiritual plant and approached Lily. Once it entered the range of Lily's golden light, the spiritual plant suddenly began to tremble like a dancing grass.

Xiaoxue retrieved the spiritual plant, casually planted it in a flowerpot, and then looked at her junior sister.

"Do you have any leftover bait from yesterday when you were fishing for Ah Li?"

The junior sister thought for a moment and said, "That's all. Even the bottle was eaten by Ah Li, but I still remember the dosage ratio."

"Write it down." Xiaoxue pushed a piece of white paper in front of Chen Qin.

Having obtained the formula, Xiaoxue examined it, then held it in her hand and turned it to ashes. She closed her eyes and communicated with someone using magic.

A moment later, a spirit monkey carrying a medicine box and wearing a thousand-machine power armor swung Elder Liu, who was hanging from a tree, and jumped into the house.

The clever monkey took down the medicine box, completed the delivery, and then politely bowed to everyone before jumping out of the window, swinging Elder Liu again, and leaping onto the opposite rooftop, disappearing from sight.

Xiao Liu had no objection to this, because Xiao Xue had gagged him.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxue began casting spells to prepare medicine, condensing spiritual energy into a sphere to absorb and refine the medicinal power.

In addition to the medicinal powder from Medicine King Valley that the monkey brought, she added several other plant extracts to it.

After preparing the medicine, Xiaoxue did not hand it over to Zhang Ze, but swallowed it herself.

The diluted medicinal power was injected into Lily's body along with the vines.

The bonds were loosened, and Lily fell to the ground with a thud, her hands behind her back.

The golden light that had covered her body had vanished without a trace.

Ah Li went up and poked Lily, but Lily didn't react at all.

I don't know if Lily had a terminal illness, but she certainly looks like she's dead now.

"Don't panic, Lily isn't dead. I just stopped all her bodily functions, putting her into a state of suspended animation. She's not sick, but she does need rest."

"What exactly happened?" Zhang Ze asked.

Xiaoxue, "Lily...she's not human."

Zhang Ze, "Huh?"

Xiaoxue carefully chose her words, "It means exactly what it says. She is not human. Due to some influence, her talent was only recently awakened. The golden light was just a manifestation of her unconscious use of her ability."

“But Lily herself is completely unaware of this and doesn’t know how to control herself. And these fragrances and powders…” Xiaoxue shook the porcelain bottle in her hand, “are drugs that can cause excitement for Lily, who is trying to stimulate her talent.”

"Lily is like me?" Zhang Ze asked in astonishment.

"Not all of them are the same; her background isn't as complicated as yours." Xiaoxue knew about Zhang Ze's situation.

"She should be this one."

As she spoke, Xiaoxue pulled a medical record out from under the table, scribbled on a piece of white paper, and then handed both papers to Zhang Ze.

"Huh? Is this reasonable?" Zhang Ze asked in astonishment.

“That makes sense. You should trust my professional judgment,” Xiaoxue said confidently.

The owner of that medical record wasn't a person, but Egg.

Star God Egg.

After being dug out by Zhang Ze, Egg stayed at the Beast Taming Sect for a long time, maintaining and upgrading the Thousand Machine Magic Module below Spirit Deer Valley.

Once, while Egg was sunbathing, it was covered in medicinal powder by a clumsy junior disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.

Dandan's symptoms were exactly the same as Lily's: he was excited for fifteen minutes, but then felt listless all night.

As for that piece of paper, it contained Lily's ingredient report.

Four-tenths are Star Gods, three-tenths are people, and Xiaoxue doesn't know what the other three-tenths are.

Zhang Ze, "..."

He felt as if he had found the other egg that had been lost...

'Damn it, aren't there any normal people around me?'

'And what the heck is this ingredient? Is Lily one of the Powerpuff Girls?'

Zhang Ze felt so tired.

"So, Lily is alright now?" the junior sister asked.

Xiaoxue shook her head. "After she woke up, she would still glow. That glow should be a special ability of those star gods, generated through vibration and... the same kind of resonance that Zhang Ze mentioned."

"For those Star Gods, this situation is just like breathing for you; it's a normal daily activity. But Lily's background is somewhat complicated, so constantly using the Star God's abilities will still be a burden for her."

"As for how to resolve this, I suggest you find an expert to handle it."

"After all, I am just a tree, you can't ask too much of me."

Xiaoxue, who is also not human, shrugged.
