Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Finally, someone opens the door of the emergency room and all exhausted doctors come out. Liu Guiying looks up immediately.

“Doctor, how is my daughter?”

The attending doctor has seen so much death and pain, but now his indifferent heart is still touched by the middle-aged woman’s deep-set and bloodshot eyes.

“We have saved her from the infection this time, but we also find she has a tendency to have intracranial hemorrhage. If there is no matched bone marrow in these two days... you must be prepared.”

Liu Guiying’s knees go weak and she almost falls to the ground.

In the past few months, she has learned many things about Liu Xinyou’s illness. During the acute leukemia treatment, the most two dangerous killers for patients are infection and intracranial hemorrhage. Because of advances in medical science nowadays, the fatality rate because of the infection of acute leukemia is very low. However, there is still no ideal treatment for intracranial hemorrhage... It is the most important cause of death in acute leukemia sufferers.

The doctor said Liu Xinyou may have intracranial hemorrhage, which is like a death sentence. Liu Guiying is trembling. After half an hour later, she finally feels strong enough to change into asepsis clothes and enter the ward. Liu Xinyou’s skinny face is now as small as a palm. Covered with tubes, she lies on the hospital bed.

She can’t eat anymore, with the parenteral nutrition keeping her alive.

Liu Guiying sits down next to her daughter’s bed, “Youyou, Youyou...”

Liu Xinyou’s eyelids flicker but she still can’t open her eyes. Liu Guiying’s tears are like water from faucets which can’t be turned off. She feels she has fallen into an ice cave. It is the summer day in July but she is shivering with cold.

Probably the hospital also regards it impossible to save this patient. Only one nurse has ever come to record the data and change the parenteral nutrition when Liu Guiying is sitting there dumbly. The ward is so deserted and Liu Guiying is completely lost.

Mothers and daughters are connected to each other. Liu Guiying is so close to her daughter and can feel Liu Xinyou’s life is fading away even without looking at those numbers. She doesn’t want to believe it but she has an intuition that her daughter may not last the night.

Liu Guiying keeps holding Liu Xinyou’s hand, feeling her low body temperature. She does not think of having dinner at all. If Liu Xinyou can’t make it tonight, she probably will not be alive. Living alone is much worse than reuniting with her families, isn’t it?

She sits there without noticing it is getting dark.

It is already one o’clock in the morning. The dark ward suddenly has light and it dazzles Liu Guiying’s dull eyes. She finally has some reaction.

Two young men of about 18 or 19 years old are looking at the medical card and standing at the bedside. They are somewhat surprised, “Excuse me. Are you Ms. Liu Guiying who lives in the Happiess District of Furong District, Jiang City?”

Liu Guiying doesn’t know the two young people in front of her. She holds her daughter’s hand tightly and looks at them blankly. She doesn’t scream immediately because the two young men have friendly faces with gentle attitude.

“Oh, our visit may be too abrupt. May I ask if you have worshiped a fairy whose Taoist name is ‘Mortal Heart’ in your home?”

Liu Guiying holds her breath. After her daughter reminded her, she has never told anyone about her worshiping the Mortal Heart Fairy. How can the two teenagers know it? She nods unconsciously. One of the teenagers is relieved and takes out a valuable jade bottle from his pocket. He pours out a sweet-scented pill, opens Liu Xinyou’s mouth and makes her swallow it.

The other teenager begins to tear off all tubes including the I.V. on Liu Xinyou.

Liu Guiying finally has some reactions, shouting angrily, “Who are you? What are you going to do with my daughter?” She rushes to push away the teenager who is trying to lift up Liu Xinyou. The young man is stunned for a while.

“Get out! All of you get out! No one is allowed to touch my daughter! She is fine. She’ll be fine. Oh...” Liu Guiying is kind of crazy now. She is delirious, regarding the two teenagers as hospital staffs. Liu Xinyou hasn’t died yet and they have been here to make room for others. They are too bullying.

“Ms. Liu, you misunderstand us... Let me put it this way. Did you make a wish in front of the Mortal Heart Fairy about saving your daughter?”

Liu Guiying is stunned. She stares at the teenager in disbelief.

The young man’s eyes are very gentle and calm. He doesn’t seem to be lying. Is it really the mercy of the fairy who knows her is suffering? As a nobody, Liu Guiying is clear about who she is and what she has done. She is more aware of the fact that she only offers incense and rarely serves offerings when worshiping. How can Mortal Heart Fairy suddenly hear her wish?

Seeing that she still doesn’t believe it, the boy stops explaining and just opens the window to let her look out.

A large golden hawk is in the air. The ward is on the eleventh floor and the golden hawk is just staying outside the window as if it is waiting for them.

“This is...” Liu Guiying opens her eyes wide. It is the mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia going viral a few years ago. Why is it here? The golden hawk in front of her has a small crown and is bigger, but there are no other differences from the mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia.

“We are going to take your daughter to Mount Jun for treatment. We will be able to arrive there in half an hour by this hawk. In my humble opinion, your daughter can’t afford any delay.”

The boy gently lifts Liu Xinyou. It looks very easy for him.

Liu Guiying dumbly stares at him stepping on the back of the hawk carefully. The other young man comes here on a sword.

“You still don’t make it clear yet? It is important to save people first. ”

“Brother Yuan, I’ll take your flying sword. Let Ms. Liu sit on Goldie’s back.”

At this time, Liu Guiying is very sensitive and fragile. It is really not appropriate to separate her from Liu Xinyou. Only by keeping her with her daughter can she trust them completely. Huang Weijian thinks very carefully and Yuan Ye nods, approving his sagacity.

A gust of wind carries Liu Guiying to Goldie’s back and Goldie flutters its wings. She is so scared that she clutches its golden feathers tightly. Thinking for a while, she still boldly spares one hand to hold her daughter.

Oh, her hand is kind of warmer now! Liu Guiying remembers the boy in front of her has put an aromatic pill in Liu Xinyou’s mouth. Now she totally knows it is because of the elixir. The ordinary mother doesn’t know how to express her appreciation. She is murmuring intermittently, showing no uninhibited personality and loud voice as normal her.

“My surname is Lin. Ms. Liu, you can just call me Xiaolin.” Lin Luodong can s her embarrassment so he takes the initiative to talk to her.

They are not familiar with each other. Lin Luodong is just trying to eliminate her tension of flying in the high night sky. There is not a certain topic in their conversation. Liu Guiying talks about her long-pressed sadness and Lin Luodong comforts her at appropriate time.

Half an hour passes quickly. Liu Guiying still has tears on her face when everyone arrives in Mount Jun. Thinking about it, she realizes she didn’t ask the teenager whose surname is Lin why he suddenly appeared in the ward on behalf of Mortal Heart Fairy. However, she doesn’t dare to ask more about immortals’ secrets.

Mount Jun is very quiet at night. She follows several people to Liu Yi Well and sees the Mortal Heart Fairy’s face appearing on the water. Liu Guiying’s hesitation is totally gone.

“Fairy, you are so merciful. Believer... I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you.” Liu Guiying is still wrapped in gauze on her forehead but she kneels down to kowtow again. Yuan Ye takes her in his arms.

“Grandmaster doesn’t care about these things. You don’t have to do it.”

Liu Yi Well’s waterway is separated. Yuan Ye takes over unconscious Liu Xinyou from Lin Luodong and walks down the well. Elixir can only temporarily keep Liu Xinyou alive. If leukemia can be cured so easily, it will not be a major medical problem.

Liu Guiying has completely trusted them at this moment. Walking into the residence, she knows she is just a mortal woman so she does not dare to follow in. Fortunately, the boy whose surname is Lin and another boy with long bangs also stay here with her.

It’s also the first time for Yuan Ye to come to the Dragon Palace. He certainly will be very excited on a normal day but now it is for saving life. Holding Liu Xinyou, he hurries all the way through the main hall, the long corridors, and the huge side hall. He finally comes to the refurbished Royal Garden of the Dragon Palace.

A shadow casts down in front of a strange tree covered with barbed thorns. Yuan Ye stands in the shadow. Another world appears when he opens his eyes again.

It’s the Palace of Jiuhua. Is it the Treasury of the Dragon Palace Rong Donglin was talking about?

He envies Rong Donglin that he has been to the Dragon Palace. Yuan Ye only has the opportunity to step here a few years later than him.

Yuan Ye holds Liu Xinyou and sets foot on the path.

“Go straight inside.” Lin Luoran’s voice could be heard in the palace.

He takes a deep breath and walks through the first palace where white mist clusters are floating everywhere. Rong Donglin said it had been a playground for children of the Dragon Palace. Everyone who comes here has a chance to choose... Yuan Ye thinks about the patient in his arms and forgets this beguiling temptation quickly. He comes to the second palace.

There are some messy lines on the slate floor. With a quick glance, he finds nothing unusual. However, he still avoids them carefully while he takes Liu Xinyou heading forward. Yuan Ye finds his grandmaster Lin Luoran is squatting on the ground and drawing those strange lines when he reaches the seventh palace.

The vast and boundless palaces are all covered with scratches and dots on the ground. For the first time, his young grandmaster is a bit sloppy. It seems that she immerses in a certain state.

What’s she calculating about? Yuan Ye is curious but just watches the lines quietly aside. After a while, he feels dizzy. He quickly puts his mind back, dare not to look at those line anymore as he realizes that his personal ability is not strong enough.

“How is she going?” Lin Luoran says suddenly.

Yuan Ye checks Liu Xinyou’s pulses and answers cautiously, “Grandmaster, she is not in a good condition. She has been sick for too long and her vital energy and blood has dried up. The elixir is holding her last breath.”

Lin Luoran finally raises her head. She claps her hands and reclaims her attention from the endless deduction. It takes her a while to get some energy back.

She doesn’t need to check pulses as Yuan Ye. Just at a glance, she knows Liu Xinyou’s physical condition. However, Lin Luoran doesn’t save her immediately. She asks Yuan Ye after thinking about it, “How much do you know about leukemia? Is there a great chance to cure her with drugs but not by the means of our personal ability? ”

Yuan Ye understands her meaning immediately. Does his grandmaster finally want to develop Lins to a larger scale? Yuan Ye feels excited, but he is always cautious, so he does not rashly promise, “Grandmaster, if Lins’ research department studies the ancient prescription, maybe it will have a breakthrough in less than half a month. Effective drugs will be introduced in three months.”

Lin Luoran smiles. “Three months? That’s quick enough. You put her down and I’ll take a look at her. You can go to the first palace to choose a gift but don’t be too greedy. I think Rong Donglin should have told you that. Just treat it as usual. ”

Yuan Ye holds back his excitement and carefully puts Liu Xinyou down.

This girl is very lucky. Terminal illness doesn’t mean death in the hands of his grandmaster. Yuan Ye sighs silently. He carefully avoids the lines on the ground and goes to take his chance in the first palace.

Lin Luoran then starts checking for Liu Xinyou.

No wonder the power of faith is so desperate. For families like Liu Guiying, it is not easy for her to have supported herself so far in the face of her desperately ill daughter.

Lin Luoran has to value what her first devout believer is begged for.
