564: Chapter 564 Resurrection

Qin Chen ignored the idle gossip and did not respond to Chu Chu's words.

His gaze fell upon Mother Chu; with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he saw the condition inside her body with absolute clarity.

Decades of illness from overwork, combined with a frail and sickly constitution, had caused her internal organs to wither; her life Origin was like a lamp nearly out of oil, with only a final glimmer of light remaining.

Under normal circumstances, she indeed only had three months to live.

The lifespan of a Mortal is different from that of a Cultivator.

To him, there were far too many ways to extend the life of a Mortal.

Furthermore, he had a stalk of immortal medicine in his possession—of course, Mother Chu was a Mortal and could not withstand the medicinal power of an entire stalk.

Only a small piece, the size of a fingernail, would be enough.

That bit of medicinal power would be sufficient to revitalize the withered vitality in her body, allowing her to live for several more decades without issue.

Qin Chen reached into his robes and, without drawing attention, broke off a small piece from the immortal medicine inside his qiankun ring.

The fingertip-sized fragment of medicine was emerald green and translucent, shimmering with a faint spiritual glow.

He crouched down, pried open Mother Chu's mouth, and flicked the small piece of immortal medicine inside.

The immortal medicine slowly dissolved in Mother Chu's mouth.

A majestic surge of vitality gushed out like a tide, flowing down her throat into her body, traveling through her extraordinary meridians and soaking into her internal organs.

The originally withered organs were like a parched riverbed welcoming spring rain, reviving inch by inch and regaining vitality bit by bit.

In an instant,

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Mother Chu's originally gaunt and sallow face seemed to be lit from within—her skin gradually became rosy, her sunken cheeks filled out, and her cracked lips regained their color.

Her hands, which had been skeletal with bulging veins, now gradually relaxed, and a faint red tint appeared at her fingertips. Her breathing changed from weak to steady, one breath after another, calm and powerful.

Chu Chu knelt to the side, watching her mother's transformation with wide eyes, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Her tears fell like broken strings of pearls, yet she forgot to make a sound, simply keeping her mouth open and weeping silently.

The surrounding commoners were also stunned into a dead silence.

"This... what medicine is this? It can actually bring someone back from the dead?"

"Look at her... she's completely different from just now; it feels like she's ten years younger!"

"It can't be, right? How could such a medicine exist in this world?"

Doctor Wei stood frozen in place, his eyes bulging and his lips trembling as he repeatedly muttered, "Impossible... impossible... absolutely impossible..."

He had practiced medicine for decades and seen countless medicinal materials; he believed there was nothing he didn't recognize.

But that small piece of something just now—he couldn't even tell what it was.

That surge of vitality, that energy—it was simply not something that should exist in the Mortal realm.

Across the street, at the Liu Family Medicinal Materials Firm.

Liu Caiping and Ji Bin stood at the entrance, still holding their account books, staring motionlessly at the scene across from them.

Both were Foundation Establishment Cultivators; that majestic vitality and energy might be invisible to ordinary people, but how could they miss it?

That energy overflowed from Mother Chu's body, rippling out and even causing the Spiritual Qi in the air to tremble slightly.

The two exchanged a glance and hurried across the street to get closer. Their gaze shifted from Mother Chu to Qin Chen, sizing him up from head to toe.

"What did you just give her?" Liu Caiping's voice was tight, carrying a hint of urgency that was hard to detect.

Qin Chen glanced at her and finally understood why he had provoked her in the first place.

This Liu Caiping was indeed a beauty of the human world—her long legs were partially visible beneath her skirt, her figure was voluptuous without appearing bloated, yet her face was as cold as if it were covered in a layer of frost.

Ninety percent of men would not be able to resist taking a few extra looks upon seeing her.

It was just that her coldness was too heavy, like a layer of frost that made people afraid to approach.

No wonder he had drunkenly tried to flirt with her back then—likely eighty percent of men wouldn't be able to help themselves if they had too much to drink.

But things were different now.

In his eyes, all beauties were no different from skeletons.

He simply gave a slight smile and did not answer.

He naturally knew that Liu Caiping and the other person were across the street, and he never intended to hide anything.

Because now, there was no longer any need for concealment.

"Kid, I'm talking to you! What was that you just gave her?" Ji Bin shouted, a greedy light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Chen glanced at Ji Bin and immediately guessed who he was.

Although Ji Bin was fair-skinned with regular features, his triangular eyes always betrayed a sinister ruthlessness.

Qin Chen ignored him and turned his gaze to Chu Chu, saying softly, "Alright, your mother is fine now. Go on back."

Only then did Mother Chu slowly sit upright, looking around in a daze before her gaze finally landed on Chu Chu's face: "Daughter... what happened to me?"

Chu Chu wiped away the tears on her face and smiled through her weeping: "Mother, it was this Young Master Qin who saved you..."

She briefly explained what had just happened in a few sentences.

Upon hearing this, Mother Chu immediately pulled Chu Chu down to kneel, intending to kowtow.

Qin Chen reached out to support them, his tone calm and unhurried: "It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning. You are an elder, and I am a Junior; I cannot accept such a grand gesture from you."

Supporting her mother, Chu Chu turned to look at Qin Chen; her eyes were still red, but her voice was as serious as if she were swearing an oath: "Young Master, I said just now that as long as you saved my mother, I would be willing to serve as your slave."

Qin Chen smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need to be a slave. If you are willing, you can work at the Qin Residence from now on."

Chu Chu was startled, and then her eyes reddened again, though this time with tears of gratitude; she bowed deeply: "Yes, Young Master Qin."

Qin Chen's disregard completely infuriated Ji Bin.

Ji Bin took a step forward, narrowing his eyes as his voice turned cold: "Kid, can't you hear me? I asked you, what did you just give her? Do you have any more? Hand it over immediately!"

Qin Chen turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth curling slightly: "What is the meaning of this?"

"Hand it over," Ji Bin pressured, stepping forward.

Liu Caiping held him back and interjected, "Young Master Qin, what you fed her just now was likely only a small piece. The whole stalk is still in your hands, isn't it? I am willing to pay a high price for the rest; what do you think?"

Qin Chen looked at her and smiled, his tone nonchalant: "I'm sorry, it's not for sale."

"You..." Ji Bin suddenly laughed, a laugh that carried a hint of coldness. "Young Master Qin, is it? There are some things that people like you are not meant to possess, do you understand?"

Qin Chen simply smiled and didn't respond further; he turned and led Chu Chu and Mother Chu toward the Qin Residence.

Ji Bin stood in place, staring at Qin Chen's back with a gaze like a venomous snake.

He turned to Liu Caiping and sent a transmission: "Senior Sister Liu, that must be a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure. I will get it for you tonight."

Liu Caiping frowned and glanced at him, replying via transmission: "Don't do anything reckless. If you dare to cause trouble, then leave the Tianhuang Secret Realm."

"Yes, yes, rest assured, Senior Sister Liu, I won't do anything reckless," Ji Bin replied with a smile through transmission, yet his gaze remained fixed intently on Qin Chen's back.
