"Mom, I have to go out first." Zi Lingxue hurriedly greeted Gong Suyan and quickly changed into a black robe.

Zi Lingxue arrived at the Xiao family's backyard with familiarity.

Zi Ling Xue lowered her voice and said, "En, bring me to see your family's young master!"

"I am truly bold. Please forgive me for not being able to get up." Miss Xue, please take a seat. " Xiao Chen said indifferently. His gentle voice was like a hot spring. It was also like the willow leaves flying by the lake in the third month. He gently and gently extended both of his hands in a polite manner as he extended an invitation.

Zi Lingxue nodded and sat down next to Xiao Chen without a trace of politeness.

"I wonder what's wrong with Young Master Xiao's body?" Zi Ling Xue lowered her voice.

"Hur hur. "As expected of Miss Xue, to be able to take out a grade-6 pill, even if you have a pet by your side, it would still be extraordinary!" Xiao Chen smiled faintly.

Zi Ling Xue frowned. In the next moment, Qing Yi's head peeked out from Zi Ling Xue's sleeve as he looked warily at Xiao Chen.

The others looked at each other. It wasn't the first time Zi Lingxue came to the Xiao family's Auction House, but no one could tell that she had a Spirit Beast level pet with her.

However, Xiao Chen was able to see through it with a single glance, showing how extraordinary it was.

"Miss Xue, don't panic. I mean no harm. I'm just sighing. This little green snake is a treasure!"

Zi Ling Xue nodded. If Xiao Chen really had some evil intentions, he wouldn't have to say it out loud. Instead, he would wait for her to cure his illness before he could do anything.

"Qingyi." Qing Yi immediately returned to Zi Lingxue's hands with a low shout.

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze, but his figure seemed a little lonely. "When I was reborn, I was different from ordinary people. I have an extremely high cultivation speed. Other people need to work very hard to obtain the results of their cultivation. I only need to simply cultivate."

"However, this terrifying rate of growth has a huge price to pay. It is to speed up the burning of my life force, and cause my appearance to be as inanimate as death itself." Xiao Chen's face was pale and he looked incredibly weak.

Presumably, this kind of price was too high.

"Father searched for an alchemist for me, but was unable to find out what had happened?" Xiao Chen suddenly smiled, "I was planning to give up at first, but she refused. She kept telling me not to."

Zi Ling Xue's heart sank as she asked, "Pill image, can you tell what disease this Xiao Chen has contracted?"

Dan Ying's voice rang in Zi Ling Xue's ears, "What a pity."

"Eh?" Zi Ling Xue asked curiously.

"Xiao Chen is actually a Spirit Lord …" The ancient Pill Shadow's voice also rippled a little. "Perhaps the most talented person among the younger generation of the Northern Yue Sect isn't the young master of the Shui clan. It is this Xiao Chen from the Xiao clan."

"That's because he has the larva of a Jade Cicada in his body."

"That thing is constantly absorbing Xiao Chen's life force. If it is not removed in time, I'm afraid that within five years, Xiao Chen will die."

"Spirit Jade Cicada?"

"The Spirit Jade Cicada is a very strange creature from the ancient times, it's life force is very strong, as long as there's still a trace of its blood, it will wait for the opportunity to enter a person's body, although it will cause a temporary increase in one's spirit energy, but in reality, the Spirit Jade Cicada is absorbing a person's life force, waiting for the moment they break out of the cocoon and revive."

"I just don't know where the spirit jadeite cicada from the young master of the Xiao family came from." The pill shadow murmured.

Zi Ling Xue's expression was somewhat serious, "Is there any way?"

Dan Ying was silent for a moment. "I do."

"But now is not the best time."

"This disease happens once every two years, and when it occurs, it is at its weakest. If you want to get rid of it, you have to do it when the disease strikes, only then will you be able to completely cure it."

"How long?" Zi Ling Xue frowned.

Pill Shadow glanced at Xiao Chen and said softly, "After half a month, it will be time for the Spiritual Qi Gathering."

"Even if it wasn't for the young master of the Xiao family, the Spirit Jade Cicada must be killed because their natures are dangerous. If the Spirit Jade Cicada were to be reborn, I'm afraid that the Northern Yue State would face another disaster."

Zi Ling Xue's eyelids twitched as she didn't expect such a terrifying existence to exist in Xiao Chen's body.

Zi Ling Xue's conflicted expression completely fell into the eyes of the crowd. Xiao Chen's illness was quite strange. After so many years of searching for a good doctor, she was completely helpless against it. Originally, she was completely disappointed.

Xiao Chen's slender fingers trembled slightly. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually quite concerned. After all, no one wanted to be bedridden at such an age and they didn't know when he would die.

After Zi Ling Xue and Pill Shadow discussed the matter, she finally said, "Young Master Xiao's illness is a little troublesome, it's …"

Zi Lingxue repeated what the pill image said without changing a single word.

"It's not impossible for her to be cured, just that..."

At this moment, everyone in the Xiao family held their breath as they waited for Zi Lingxue's answer.

Zi Ling Xue suddenly raised her head. "It's just that the medicinal pills that I need to refine are quite complicated. Moreover, I still have matters to attend to recently and will need to wait for another half a month. During this time, all of you should try to gather as many medicinal herbs as possible!"

The teacup beside Xiao Chen's hand shattered.

"Is there really hope?" Xiao Chen seemed to be muttering to himself, but Zi Lingxue could hear an inexhaustible bitterness in his voice.

"Yes." "80% sure!" Zi Ling Xue nodded. Dan Ying would never say something he wasn't confident in. Furthermore, Zi Ling Xue also believed in Dan Ying's strength.

However, she didn't make it sound like she was going to leave a mark on everything.

"If you are able to cure me, Xiao Chen, then the Xiao Clan's door will forever be opened for Miss Xue. If Miss Xue has any request, feel free to speak."

Zi Ling Xue smiled. "It won't be too late to say that after I've really cured you."

Xiao Si's mouth was agape as he looked at Zi Lingxue. Was this girl, who looked to be even younger than the young master, really confident? However, there seemed to be no other way.

It was always good to have more people to try.

Xiao Chen smiled in relief. He had thought that he would never have the chance in his life. He never expected that things would take a turn for the better. Even if he had an eighty percent chance of success, it was still enough!
