I'm a male god in Liyue

"Yes."

"Successfully used [Stealing Skill], and learned the skill [Rebirth Technique] from the target."

"【Secret Technique of Life Transformation】: It allows one to transfer one's own life force to others and absorb the suffering of others into oneself."

Xia Zhi looked at the skill description and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

When Xia Zhi first arrived in Liyue, he heard that the doctor Bai Shu of Bubulu was a highly skilled physician. Folklore said that he could cure all diseases and detoxify all poisons. No matter what illness you had, as long as you went to Bubulu, he could cure you.

Although Xia Zhi felt that this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it was normal for Bai Shu, as a master of medicine, to have his reputation exaggerated due to the large number of people he had treated.

But now it seems that Bai Shu's body has reached the point where he is plagued by all kinds of diseases and poisons. It is likely that he has used this [Life-Changing Secret Technique] to save people many times over the years.

The rumor that it can "cure all diseases and detoxify all poisons" is probably true. However, Atractylodes macrocephala did not actually cure the patients' diseases, but rather absorbed and transferred them to itself.

What a living bodhisattva!

"Cough...cough..."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but "look" at Bai Shu again, and saw that he was covering his mouth with his hand and was still coughing lightly. Xia Zhi examined him carefully and found that the "vitality" in his body was even thinner than yesterday.

He had already drunk four cups of rainbow juice yesterday, so his vitality should have recovered. Why did it decrease instead of increase?

Unless he used the [Life-Changing Secret Technique] to save the patient after he went back yesterday...

Bai Shu couldn't possibly be unaware of how bad his physical condition was, yet he still chose to relinquish his last remaining chance of survival.

The patient was probably in an extremely dangerous state, which forced him to do this...

Are all doctors in this other world so selfless?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After lunch, Shen He went to wash the dishes, while Xia Zhi, Qi Qi, and Zhu Zi sat together drinking tea.

He asked casually, "Miss Qiqi, how did you meet Doctor Baishu back then?"

Qi Qi thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "I can't remember some things from so long ago. I only remember that when I woke up I was inside a piece of amber. It seemed like someone was going to take me somewhere. I was very scared, so I broke the amber at night and secretly escaped. Then I met Mr. Bai, who was collecting herbs, in the mountains."

"Was Dr. Bai Shu in poor health at that time?"

"Oh no, Mr. Bai coughs frequently at night."

"Didn't Dr. Bai try to rest and recuperate for a while?"

"Everyone tried to persuade Mr. Bai, but he always refused, saying that patients came to him for treatment every day and he couldn't rest."

"That's it..."

Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Qi Qi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Mr. Bai... seems to be pursuing the elixir of immortality."

Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback: "An elixir of immortality?"

Qi Qi nodded: "Yes, I've seen some collected pill formulas in Mr. Bai's pharmacy, and I even helped Mr. Bai refine them a few times, but I failed in the end."

Zhu Zi asked curiously, "Is there really a medicine that will prevent you from dying if you take it?"

Qiqi shook her head: "I don't know."

Zhu Zi looked at Xia Zhi: "Boss, do you know?"

Xia Zhi chuckled: "Maybe so. In a way, Qi Qi can be considered immortal..."

At this point, Xia Zhi suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Bai Shu took in Qi Qi because he was interested in her immortality as a zombie?

If Bai Shu could obtain immortality, his current predicament of weakness would be easily resolved, and he could use his [Life-Changing Secret Technique] to save people without any scruples.

Is this why he's pursuing the elixir of immortality?

By the afternoon.

Just like yesterday, A-Gui came to the shop to buy takeaway juice.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replaced his drink with two glasses of rainbow juice with a higher concentration.

Agui carefully carried the juice back to Bubulu and brought it to Baizhu.

"Mr. Bai, I've bought it for you."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Zhu thanked him gently, picked up the cup, and took a sip through the reed straw.

"Ok?"

Bai Shu's expression changed involuntarily.

He sensed an even stronger sense of vitality from the juice.

The flavor was much stronger than the juice he had drunk that morning.

Bai Zhu looked at the juice in the glass, paused for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled softly.

"This Mr. Xia... is quite a remarkable person..."

Yuehai Pavilion.

After finishing the last document, Gan Yu stretched lazily.

Great!

It's Friday!

I'm leaving get off work early!

I can go get a massage from Mr. Xia again!

A hint of anticipation flickered in Gan Yu's eyes. She quickly tidied up all the completed documents on the table, then got up and left.

After a while, Huixin came to pick up the documents, only to find that no one was in the office.

"Huh? Where's Senior Gan Yu?"

Huixin was a little puzzled. She walked to the table, picked up the documents, and looked at them. She found that all the documents had been processed.

"This document was just delivered this morning, wasn't it? As expected of Senior Gan Yu!"

Huixin picked up the documents with admiration and carefully took them away.

As she reached the door, two colleagues approached. Huixin suddenly overheard them talking about Senior Gan Yu, so she slowed down and listened intently.

"It's rare to see Secretary Gan Yu leave work early today."

"Yes, I worked late last night, and when I left, I saw that her office light was still on."

"Have you noticed that Secretary Gan Yu seems to be in a very good mood today? She was smiling when she greeted us."

"She's finally able to leave work early and get some rest, so she must be in a good mood."

"No, I feel like she's not in a good mood, it's more like..."

"What kind?"

"I feel this kind of anticipation, like I'm about to go on a date..."

"Have it?"

"Yes, I felt she seemed a little shy..."

"Why?……"

The two colleagues walked away.

Huixin stood there, holding the documents, her expression turning somewhat strange.

Today is Friday.

She remembered that last Friday, Senior Gan Yu also left work early, just like today. She even bumped into her at the door, and it seemed like she was rushing off to meet someone.

By the way, it seems that Senior Gan Yu skipped work for a day last Saturday.

She didn't come to work at Yuehaiting that day. Could it be that she was too tired the night before?

Chapter 158 Miss Akabane has a great advantage

Gan Yu left Yuehai Pavilion, went home, took a shower, and changed her clothes.

As she went out, she looked at the sky and noticed that the clear sky had suddenly become covered with dark clouds.

Is it going to rain again?

The weather has been a bit unusual these past few days.

Gan Yu went back inside and took an umbrella. She went to the street and bought some fresh sunset fruit and pastries. It was six o'clock when she arrived at the Summer Shop.

Shen He was sweeping the floor at the entrance when he looked up and saw her. He greeted her softly, "Senior sister is here."

Gan Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, junior sister, you're off work, right?"

"Just got off work."
