Chapter 192 Hua Tuo Reborn
Chapter 192 Hua Tuo Reborn
Lin Xi tried to reach out and touch it, but found herself bounced back. She didn't give up and tried several more times, but the result was always the same.
What's missing?
Lin Xi thought for a moment, but had no clue, so she put it aside for the time being. Just then, she noticed that the thread had disappeared again, just like that, vanished into thin air.
Lin Xi went through the process again in the same way as before, but found that the transparent line that had appeared before did not reappear, so she had to give up for the time being.
It seems that this will require a certain opportunity.
Lin Xi returned to her bedroom, intending to pick out a simple outfit to visit the antique market.
Then a white dress and white sneakers, keep it simple.
.......
The streets were bustling with people. The once spacious streets were now lined with small stalls, each exuding a rustic charm, and the calls of vendors filled the air.
"Xi Xi, I haven't seen you for several days. You've become more and more beautiful. Even plastic surgery couldn't have worked this fast." Ye Jinran looked at Lin Xi, whose face was becoming more and more exquisite, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Almost everyone's eyes were on Lin Xi along the way, regardless of age or gender.
Lin Xi seemed used to the stares around her and casually replied, "Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for so long that we're having the wrong impression."
"This is exactly the image of my ideal woman, she's so perfect."
"Looks like going out today was the right decision, otherwise how would I have had the chance to meet a fairy?"
"Honestly, with that level of looks, she could debut right now. I'd watch whatever she does."
"That face, that figure, it's simply out of this world."
Ye Jinran shrugged, spread her hands with a helpless expression, and looked around, as if to say, "I'm not the only one who thinks this way."
Lin Xi chuckled softly and changed the subject, "Is there any event happening at the antique street today?"
Ye Jinran nodded, a smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand, his every gesture exuding elegance. He explained softly, "Today is the Antique Festival, held twice a year, in the middle and at the end of the year. People who love antiques usually bring their collections to the antique street to trade during this time. Some rare and precious items also appear, so the antique street is especially lively during these two periods every year, with everyone hoping to find a bargain or try their luck with stones..."
Lin Xi looked around and nodded.
“It’s quite lively,” Lin Xi suddenly noticed a dilapidated stall in the corner ahead.
"Host, there's something you need up ahead. You must get it." The system, which had been gone for a long time, suddenly reappeared, its tone filled with excitement and urgency.
"Looks like there's something good, let's go check it out."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she walked straight ahead, with Ye Jinran following behind at a leisurely pace.
A middle-aged woman sat in front of the dilapidated stall, her face etched with the marks of time. A sign on the stall read, "Needs money for life-saving treatment."
Lin Xi casually picked up the unfathomable plant in front of her. It was as white as jade and emitted a faint, delicate fragrance that was very soothing.
"This is it, host, you must get it, you absolutely must get it..." The system's voice grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.
Lin Xi felt reassured, but her expression remained nonchalant as she casually said, "I think this looks pretty good. I've never seen it before. It's fine to keep it at home for fun."
She casually tossed and turned the plant in her hand, as if she had simply found an interesting toy. But if someone with a higher level of martial arts skills were to see that she was actually controlling the force of each movement to avoid causing harm.
The middle-aged woman watched as the woman in front of her, who looked like an angel, played with the plant in her hand, and seemed to be interested. She was delighted. "I accidentally fell off a cliff while I was picking herbs for my husband. I pulled it out by chance. I didn't expect it to have a hemostatic effect, but it was useless for my husband. So I thought I would take it out to see if anyone knows about it and can exchange it for some money to save my husband."
Lin Xi paused, exchanged a glance with Ye Jinran, and both of them felt a strange sensation.
"You said this can stop bleeding? Does it have any other uses?" Lin Xi asked casually.
"Nothing has been found yet." The woman shook her head blankly.
It's just for stopping the bleeding; it shouldn't be enough to make the system so excited and anxious.
"Then I'll take this one. Name your price, and if it's reasonable, I'll take it back and study it."
The woman, who seemed only interested in her, weakly asked, "One million?"
"One million?" Lin Xi was somewhat surprised.
'Was it too expensive? Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they don't seem like people who are short of money.'
The woman was a little uneasy, but she didn't want to lower the price. One million was barely enough; any less and it would be useless.
so cheap?
"How much do you have? I'll take it all for you since you saved someone," Lin Xi said softly.
"I only have two plants. If you want them both, I'll give them to you for 150 million," the woman said quickly after seeing that the woman in front of her had accepted the price.
"I'll give you 1000 million. Give me both of these plants, and while you're at it, take me to see that place you mentioned."
"Oh? Okay, okay, but not today. I have to take my husband to the hospital first. Leave me your phone number, and I'll contact you when I'm done here," the woman said gratefully.
Lin Xi took the two herbs, and instantly they entered the system space, leaving behind two empty boxes.
Lin Xi glanced in Ye Jinran's direction and saw that he looked unpredictable, as if he hadn't noticed anything. She stopped worrying about it and turned her gaze to the woman in front of her.
"Okay." Lin Xi left her her contact information, watched her leave, touched her watch, and then strolled around with Ye Jinran again.
"You just let her go like that?" Ye Jinran asked, narrowing her eyes slightly as she looked at Lin Xi's calm expression.
"Otherwise what? We're good citizens, and they're in a hurry to save people," Lin Xi said calmly.
"Aren't you afraid she'll stop contacting you later?"
"Heh, she won't." Lin Xi smiled.
Because she will still need herself!
Ye Jinran looked at the woman in front of her, who stood there quietly, yet exuded an elegant and confident aura that drew people in.
Ye Jinran's favorability +5
[Ye Jinran's favorability rating has reached 90. You have been awarded one chance to participate in a lottery.]
"Host, would you like to participate in the lottery?" The system's voice appeared again, but this time it was no longer as weak as before.
"Let's start the lottery."
As the lottery wheel stopped spinning, a ball of light appeared, and Lin Xi reached out her hand.
"Hua Tuo reborn?"
"If Hua Tuo were alive, it would mean you possess top-tier medical skills, even the ability to bring the dead back to life. Of course, all of this depends on your own physical condition. The higher your physical condition, the more energy you can withstand. At least with your current physical condition, it would be difficult to find someone in this world with stronger medical skills than you," the system explained very considerately this time.
"What is the use of this herb?"
"Level 5 is a watershed moment. You'll see when the time comes. Good luck, host." After saying this, the system fell silent again.
