Chapter 942: No Response System

Xiao Zhen opened his eyes and felt as if his internal organs were being roasted. It was extremely painful.

Looking at the surroundings, I saw a simple thatched house with a strong smell of medicine in the air.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, with a quilt that had turned a little pale from washing covering him.

By analyzing these clues, Xiao Zhen guessed that he must have been rescued by someone.

Feeling the energy of heaven and earth around him, although it is not an ordinary world, but judging from this level, it is probably just some low-level practitioners at most.

Overall, we are safe now and have escaped from the dangerous hellish place of Wanjie Mall.

Xiao Zhen really wants to know the situation of Chen Kong now. It must be very bad!

A guy who hurt me so badly has now fallen into the hands of an even more cruel woman. I really hope that guy doesn't die too easily.

"System, where am I now, and which world am I in?"

……

There was silence for several minutes, and Xiao Zhen felt something was wrong. There was no mechanical prompt sound of the system in his mind, which was not a good sign.

I called out a few more times, but got no response.

This made Xiao Zhen, who relied on the system to get to where he is today, panic. If there was no system, how would he get home?

Because he was too excited, Xiao Zhen's internal injuries began to cause problems, causing him to cough up blood.

Perhaps because the noise was a little too loud, the wooden door of the room was pushed open. Through the slightly dazzling sunlight, Xiao Zhen saw a slender figure walking towards him.

Just as he was about to ask something else, Xiao Zhen felt his soul becoming tired, and soon his eyes closed and he fainted again.

When he woke up again, Xiao Zhen found that there were two more people in front of him, one was a middle-aged woman with a slightly haggard face, and the other was a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The middle-aged woman nodded and asked, "Is everything okay? I wonder where you are from and why you are unconscious in the back mountain!"

Just as Xiao Zhen was about to speak, he found that his blood and qi were surging. He couldn't help but cough a few times in pain, and then he explained:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I fell into a trap while trying to save my friend and was seriously injured. It was only thanks to the two of you that I was saved and my body was not left to lie in the wilderness."

Facing his benefactor, Xiao Zhen said everything he could.

“You can call me Mr. Nian Duan, and you don’t need to thank me, because it was my foolish disciple who insisted on bringing you back.

Furthermore, your injury is very serious. Even if all the great doctors from previous generations were here, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to cure you.”

After Nian Duan finished speaking, he pushed the door and left.

In fact, she hadn't said anything yet. When she discovered Xiao Zhen, even though he was seriously injured, the aura he exuded still prevented the wild beasts from approaching.

Nian Duan didn't want to have too much connection with this person of mysterious origin. He just hoped that the other party could leave as soon as possible after his injury healed and not cause too much trouble.

The little girl glanced at Xiao Zhen and silently brought a bowl of medicine.

"Drinking this should help your injury."

Xiao Zhen looked at the girl in front of him whose eyes were full of innocence, smiled, took the medicine and drank it all.

After waking up, he had already roughly checked his whole body.

His soul was severely damaged and his body was shattered. Now he could only exert strength close to that of the Nascent Soul stage at best.

But that also comes at a price. Once excessive force is used, it is likely to cause the already unstable body to completely collapse.

The system doesn’t know what’s going on now and has completely lost contact.

However, he survived the disaster. Xiao Zhen began to recall what had happened before. In order to escape from the pursuit of the terrifying girl in the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage behind him, he had to take the risk and rush into the chaotic turbulence.

In the end, the bet was right, but this is what happened.

Under the terrifying power of that chaotic turbulence, it was already a great fortune for him, a celestial being, to survive.

Thinking of his family members who were still in the world and other worlds, Xiao Zhen felt particularly uncomfortable. He was afraid that he would never be able to go back.

After a while, the little girl came back with a long package in her hands.

As the package was opened, Xiao Zhen saw clearly that it was a broken sword.

The little girl put the package beside the bed and said softly, "This... is your stuff."

Xiao Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked the broken sword. The Sword of Luck, which had already grown to the level of an immortal weapon, was now also covered with various cracks, and the immortal aura was no longer on the sword.

Thinking back to when I was on the verge of death in the chaos, it seems that the luck of the Sword of Luck must have played a certain role, otherwise I would have been doomed to die in that situation!

After resting for another two days, Xiao Zhen absorbed some energy from the air and finally managed to catch his breath.

However, it is impossible for this body full of wounds to recover on its own by just meditating and practicing Qigong.

Xiao Zhen pushed open the wooden door. This was the first time he observed where he was.

There are a few simple thatched houses and various herbs drying on the open space. There are no other neighbors around, but the environment is beautiful, with mountains and water.

When I asked the little girl before, I also learned her name.

Duanmu Rong, this name is a bit old. Xiao Zhen searched his memory for a long time before he finally decided on an anime character.

Perhaps this is also a part of fate. However, from the little girl Duanmu Rong, I learned that the world is still divided and the Qin State has not yet begun to unify the world.

Xiao Zhen saw the quiet figure in the yard. When he walked over, he discovered that Duanmu Rong was holding a medical book in her little hands.

Xiao Zhen really couldn't understand the writings of this era. Without a system, he had to learn them on his own.

Duanmu Rong also noticed the figure behind her, and the little girl said shyly:

"Brother Xiao Zhen, you're awake. Do you feel better today?"

"Thank you so much, Rong'er, for sending me the medicine every day. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to walk now!"

Xiao Zhen complimented him a few times. Although the medicine had no effect on his body, it was out of kindness of Duanmu Rong and Mr. Nian Duan.

Seeing the several herbs placed next to Duan Mu Rong, Xiao Zhen asked, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be used to treat colds and fevers!"

Duanmu Rong nodded, then pointed to the medical book in her hand and said word by word:

"According to the book, these herbs are very effective in treating colds and fevers. I was thinking if I could mix them together and make a new prescription."

As a senior in pharmacology, Xiao Zhen began to explain: "Rong'er, your idea is still too simple. For example, this herb, although it is very effective in treating colds, if it is mixed with other herbs, it may cause some rejection reactions such as diarrhea and vomiting."

Xiao Zhen picked out a small dried flower from among the herbs, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, then said lightly:

"This flower has a cooling effect, so it's suitable for making herbal tea in the summer."

Duan Mu Rong asked in surprise: "Does Brother Xiao Zhen also know medical skills?"

Xiao Zhen admitted it with a smile. After all, he was a high-level alchemist. He could know the medicinal properties of various herbs and analyze their effects just by smelling them.

Sometimes when one ingredient is missing when refining an elixir, Xiao Zhen can quickly find other ingredients that can be used as replacements based on their properties.

Duanmu Rong blinked her eyes, looked at the medical book in her hand, and asked expectantly:

"Brother Xiao Zhen, your medical skills must be very high, so can you teach me?"

Looking at the little girl's innocent eyes, Xiao Zhen would of course not refuse.

However, he also had his own conditions, which was that he hoped that in addition to teaching medical skills, in exchange, Duanmu Rong must also teach him how to use words.

Duanmu Rong was very confused. Xiao Zhen seemed to be from an extraordinary family, so how could he not even recognize a single word?

Although the world is now divided and each country has a different writing system, it seems that no one has ever heard of someone like Xiao Zhen.

Nian Duan, who had been hiding in the dark and watching, was also surprised at Xiao Zhen's knowledge of various pharmacological aspects, and there was less indifference in his eyes.
