I'm a male god in Liyue

There seems to be some connection between these things.

After the meal, Xia Zhi and Bai Shu sat together, drinking tea and exchanging medical knowledge.

Although both of them were masters of medicine, their medical knowledge was not entirely the same.

Bai Zhu's medical knowledge is limited to the continent of Teyvat.

Xia Zhi's medical knowledge, due to the system, directly includes both the Teyvat continent and the original world.

This makes Xia Zhi's insights on the same medical issues often more profound than those of Atractylodes macrocephala.

The more the two talked, the greater Bai Shu's surprise became.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the prescription that Xia Zhi had written for Zhu Zi the day before yesterday.

"Mr. Xia's idea is truly ingenious. Using poison to fight poison, with each step linked to the next, it not only eliminates all their toxicity but also stimulates all their medicinal properties. It can be described as perfect."

"Dr. Baishu, you flatter me. There is no perfect medicine in the world. This prescription is too potent. Although it is non-toxic, it is not something that just anyone can use."

"That's true..."

Seeing that Bai Shu hadn't gotten to the point yet, Chang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Since Mr. Xia has such a deep understanding of poisons, would you be willing to take a look at Bai Shu's case?"

"Oh? What do you mean by immortality?"

"Bai Shu has been poisoned a lot and has been dragging it out. If I hadn't spoken up, he probably would have kept holding on."

"As expected... it's poisoning..."

"Has Mr. Xia noticed it too?"

"Well, although I can't see, I can vaguely sense that something is wrong with Doctor Baishu's body, but if you don't tell me, I won't presume to ask."

"I would be grateful for Mr. Xia's help!"

Xia Zhi nodded, finished diagnosing Bai Shu, and asked with a look of surprise, "How could she be poisoned by so many kinds of poison?"

Bai Shu paused for a moment, then said, "The reasons behind this... are somewhat complicated..."

"No wonder your body is so weak. The compound toxins are a bit troublesome... I need to think about this carefully... Shen He, go get me some paper and pen."

"?" After thinking for more than ten seconds, is this what you call being serious?

A moment later, Xia Zhi picked up his pen and wrote down a very complicated prescription.

Just like the prescription from the day before yesterday, it was also full of poison.

"This is a detoxification prescription I made based on the current state of toxins in your body. You only need to take it once, but you must not be poisoned again during the period of taking the medicine, otherwise this life-saving prescription will become a deadly poison."

"it is good."

"Another thing to note is that after taking it, your body will experience many adverse reactions due to the stimulation of the poison, and you may feel very painful."

"It doesn't matter."

"I have a kind of incense that can calm the nerves and soothe the mind. I'll give you two pieces later. You can light it when you take your medicine; its aroma should help you."

Bai Shu paused for a moment, glanced at Chang Sheng who seemed somewhat expectant, and nodded: "Then thank you very much, Mr. Xia. I will remember this great kindness."

Xia Zhi shook his head and smiled, "Remember to come over again tomorrow, I'll check on things."

"it is good."

Bai Shu took his leave, and the silver progress bar on his body disappeared.

Xia Zhi glanced at the silver treasure chest lying quietly in his inventory.

I wonder how much of his mind and memory these two pieces of [calming incense] will help Changsheng recover...

Saving a physician like Bai Zhu, who could save many more lives, should be considered a great act of merit, right? I wonder how much the luck bonus from [Auspicious Omen] will increase?

Chapter 171 Another Day of Remembering Mr. Zhongli

Bai Zhu returned to Bu Bu Lu and began to select the herbs according to the prescription.

After selecting the herbs, he gave instructions to Agui and took them to the quiet room in the backyard to begin decocting the medicine.

Changsheng looked at him and suddenly said, "Baishu, although Mr. Xia said that the lotus seed porridge at noon was specially made for Miss Zhu, it was actually specially made for you."

“I think so too. Although Miss Zhu is somewhat anemic, she doesn’t need such precious spiritual items to nourish herself.”

“The two glasses of juice that Agui bought from Mr. Xia’s shop last Friday were more ‘vital’ than regular juice. Mr. Xia should have already noticed your physical condition at that time.”

"Ah."

"But why would Mr. Xia help you like this?"

"I do not know either."

"Mr. Xia even helped Qiqi recover, which is practically a life-or-death situation. It's clear he cares about Qiqi a lot. But that doesn't seem quite right. He cares about everyone else in his shop, including Miss Zhu. When she had a stomachache, he immediately prescribed a cure for her. It seems Mr. Xia is quite protective of his own... Bai Shu, do you think it's possible that Mr. Xia helped you because you took Qiqi in? And that bowl of lotus seed porridge at noon was just to nourish Zhu's body, and maybe he could also nourish you a little?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shu fell silent.

It seems, perhaps, maybe, there really is such a possibility.

Summer shops.

After Bai Shu left for a while, Yao Yao came over, and Diona greeted her happily.

"Yaoyao, I left you a bowl of lotus seed porridge in the kitchen. You can eat it when you get hungry in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you, big brother. Yao Yao feels that big brother's voice sounds nicer!"

"is it?"

"Yes!"

"Big brother also thinks Yao Yao's voice has become even more beautiful. Has Yao Yao grown taller again?"

"That's right! Yao Yao has grown taller! Every morning after shooting practice, Yao Yao draws a line on the wall to measure herself!"

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded. Compared to half a month ago, Yao Yao had indeed grown a little taller.

The people in this world seem to develop physically earlier than the people in the original world.

The store was open in the afternoon, but there weren't many high-quality customers.

Another day of remembering Mr. Zhongli.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and decided not to use the [Stealing Technique], planning to save it for Chang Sheng tomorrow morning.

After dinner, everyone went for a walk together as usual, leaving Miss Akabane to look after the house.

Diona walked down the street, constantly looking around with curiosity in her eyes.

I passed by a barbecue stall, and the owner was grilling tigerfish.

This snack involves quickly grilling fish caught from the dock after lightly marinating it. The aroma attracts cats on the street, and freshness is the secret to its deliciousness.

Diona's eyes lit up as she gazed at the golden fish on the grill, and she was almost unable to move.

There's really nothing you can do against her.

A moment later, everyone had a skewer of hot grilled tigerfish in their hand.

Diona took a bite, her face beaming with a satisfied happiness.

Cats really love eating fish.

So in the following days, everyone bought her dried anchovies, takoyaki, grilled squid, and grilled shrimp...

Diona was so full by the end that she started burping.

She blushed and covered her mouth, but her body still made hiccuping movements.

Zhu Zi, having been there before, said: "Just let the boss give you a massage."

"Massage? Hiccup..."

"Yeah! I once ate too many mooncakes and then I got hiccups. The shop owner rubbed my back and it was fine!"

"Really, hiccup?"

Xia Zhi smiled helplessly: "Come here, let me help you catch your breath."

"it is good."

"Turn around and face away from me."

"Oh."

Diona was shorter than Zhu Zi. Xia Zhi bent down and gently stroked her back through her clothes, feeling her body stiffen instantly.

"Relax."

Xia Zhi gently pressed on certain parts of her body before withdrawing his hand.

"All right."

"Hey?"

"See, the hiccups are gone now? The boss's massage is amazing! He can cure even the most difficult ailments!"
