The five-and-a-half-year-old baby doctor comes to the city to cure those who refuse to listen.

The tearful words spoken in the courtyard, "So the end of science is metaphysics," exploded like a depth charge in everyone's minds.

Falcon stared blankly at the man on the ground, whose skin was newly grown and whose breathing was steady. He then looked at the large vat next to him, which was still emitting a strange medicinal fragrance. He felt that his materialistic worldview, which he had built up over the decades, was being repeatedly crushed by a road roller.

This isn't metaphysics, this is clearly theology!

"Cough...cough cough..."

Just then, the man on the ground coughed violently a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were initially confused, but quickly sharpened. He sprang to his feet with a somersault, his body instantly tensing as he assumed a fighting stance that combined offense and defense.

"Where am I?"

A clear, slightly hoarse female voice rang out.

Only then did everyone realize that the person who had been "stewed" back from the corpse poison was actually a woman with neat short hair and heroic features.

"Suzaku! You're awake!" Falcon was both surprised and delighted, and rushed forward in one stride.

The woman known as Vermilion Bird relaxed her guard slightly upon seeing the falcon, but her body remained tense. "Wasn't I cursed by the Corpse King? Logically, I should already be..."

Falcon pointed to the side, his expression a complex mix of emotions.

Zhuque looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a beautiful five-year-old child being led by an old man, with an unfinished meat bun in his other hand, looking up at the kitchen with longing eyes.

"Don't tell me he saved me." Zhuque frowned, her tone full of suspicion.

"Who else could it be besides Advisor Chu?" Falcon gave a wry smile.

Zhuque's gaze swept back and forth over the child. She didn't believe it. How could someone who could undo the Corpse King's curse be a little brat who could trip over himself while walking?

There must be something fishy going on here.

"Thank you so much, Advisor Chu, for saving my life." Zhuque walked towards Chu Chen with a tearful expression on her face.

"This junior, Zhuque, has nothing to repay you with but please accept my bow."

She said "thank you" as she leaned forward slightly, but her right hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, flashed out and grabbed Chu Chen's shoulder with a sharp gust of wind!

She used thirty percent of her strength in that grab, enough to crush an adult's shoulder blade in an instant. She just wanted to test the child's abilities.

Lin Jianguo and Falcon's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

Just as the hand, moving so fast it was barely a blur, was about to touch Chu Chen.

Chu Chen didn't even turn his head.

He even got distracted and stuffed another big mouthful of steaming braised pork into his mouth.

Just as Zhuque's fingers were about to touch his clothes, Chu Chen casually handed over the chopsticks in his left hand, which were still covered in oil.

Not fast, not slow.

It's like picking your teeth after a meal—effortless and natural.

"Smack."

A soft sound.

The tip of the chopsticks precisely touched the pulse point on Zhuque's wrist.

Zhuque froze on the spot, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Her hand, powerful enough to split stone, froze in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further.

A tingling sensation spread like lightning from her wrist. In the blink of an eye, half of her body, from her right arm to her right leg, lost all feeling and could not move.

Zhuque's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

She watched as the five-year-old child slowly chewed the braised pork in his mouth before turning his head to look at her with his clear, bright eyes.

"Sister, it's impolite to touch me like that."

Chu Chen spoke in a muffled, childish voice, but his words sent a chill down Zhu Que's spine.

"If it weren't for the fact that you're not bad-looking, this hand would be ruined today."

After he finished speaking, as if he had done something insignificant, he swallowed the piece of braised pork and then squinted his eyes contentedly.

"Grandpa, this meat is stewed until it's so tender and delicious."

Zhuque stood motionless, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Although she only used 30% of her strength in that grab, the speed and angle were extremely tricky. Even the top experts in the Dragon Group couldn't dodge it so easily.

Not to mention, the other party crippled half of her body with just a greasy chopstick.

What kind of amazing move is this?

She now finally understood that Falcon's horrified expression wasn't an act.

This child is not human.

It's a monster!

"I...I was wrong..." Zhuque managed to squeeze out a few words, her posture extremely humble, "Please forgive me, Advisor Chu."

Chu Chen then slowly extended his chopsticks again and gently tapped her shoulder.

The numbness vanished instantly.

Zhuque felt her body go limp and almost collapsed to the ground. She forced herself to stand and bowed deeply to Chu Chen.

This time, it was a deep sense of awe.

"Dragon Group, Suzaku greets Advisor Chu."

"Alright, alright," Chu Chen waved his chopsticks impatiently. "Don't block my way while I'm eating."

He picked up the largest piece of pork belly, stuffed it into his mouth, and his cheeks bulged out.

Looking at his innocent and naive way of eating, and recalling his unpredictable and mysterious methods just now, Zhuque felt a wave of dizziness.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and took out a device wrapped in a special material from her pocket.

"Advisor Chu, this is the energy fluctuation data we collected deep in the Kunlun Mountains."

She handed over the instrument, her expression becoming extremely solemn.

"Our team was attacked by the Corpse King while investigating the source of this abnormal energy, and the entire team was wiped out."

Chu Chen's chewing motion slowed down a beat.

Kunlun Mountains?

Abnormal energy fluctuations?

A thought struck him, and he took the instrument.

That wasn't an energy fluctuation at all.

That was the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which caused a spatial resonance when it gathered wildly!

There is only one possibility that could trigger a spiritual energy tide of this scale.

It contains rare and precious natural materials, which are about to mature!

Considering the location of Xuanyao Valley and the "Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass" that Wu De had previously confessed to, it's easy to see why.

The answer is self-evident.

Chu Chen's small face showed no expression, but his heart was in turmoil.

Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass!

That was the divine medicine he had devoted his entire life to refining in his previous life, which ultimately led to the explosion of the alchemy furnace and his own death!

It is also the only hope that can truly bring Lin Xiu back to life and even reshape her physical body!

"How often does this fluctuation occur?" Chu Chen's voice remained calm and composed.

"Once every three days, each time stronger than the last," Zhuque replied immediately. "According to our calculations, the next energy peak will occur at midnight three days from now. At that time, the intensity may be more than ten times that of now."

More than ten times!

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes.

This means that the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass will likely be fully mature in three days!

Those people from Xuanyao Valley must already know this news, and they will definitely go back at all costs to seize the divine medicine.

There's no time left.

Chu Chen tossed the instrument back to Zhu Que, a hint of weariness beyond his years showing on his young face.

He walked over to Lin Jianguo and tugged at his sleeve.

"Grandpa, I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

Lin Jianguo quickly put down the bowl in his hand and picked him up with heartache.

"Okay, okay, let's go to sleep now."

Chu Chen buried his head in his grandfather's arms and muttered something softly.

"Grandpa, I don't want to sleep in the bed tonight."

"I want to sleep by the well; it's cool there."
