Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 317 Lin Hui's Chapter (5)

After everyone separated, Zixuan, Zhao Heng and Bai Yan continued upstream along the stream.

The roar of the waterfall grew closer, and the air was filled with moist vapor. Zi Xuan walked in front, followed closely by Zhao Heng, spear across his chest, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Bai Yan walked last, clutching his medicine basket tightly in his arms, his eyes flickering with a strange light.

"It's just ahead." Zi Xuan said, looking back, the mist condensed into tiny droplets on her eyelashes.

The three of them turned a corner, and the scene before them suddenly opened up—a silvery waterfall cascading down a hundred-meter-high cliff, forming a clear, deep pool at the bottom. In the mist that splattered the rock faces on either side of the waterfall, clusters of strange plants crept among the crevices: their scaly, bluish-brown leaves curled tightly into fist-sized balls, like countless sleeping beasts crouching on the stone walls. As the mist passed over them, the withered balls slowly unfurled, revealing the emerald green within. The edges of the leaves glowed with a faint phosphorescence, as if infused with life.

"It's Qinglin grass!" Bai Yan was overjoyed. He was about to take a step forward, but the next second he was forced back by the slippery land under his feet.

"Be careful, the road here is very slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into the water." Zixuan said.

"Then...what should I do? I can't swim." Bai Yan looked up. The rocks had become very smooth after being washed by the waterfall, and some parts were covered with moss. He then looked at the bottomless pool of water under his feet. It was obviously very close, yet it seemed so far away.

Zixuan patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, have you forgotten? I can fly."

Then she looked at Zhao Heng and said, "I'll leave Mr. Bai Yan to you. I'll be back soon."

"Well, then you have to be careful." Zhao Heng nodded.

Zi Xuan stepped lightly, and her staff carried her into the air, her wide sleeves rustling in the wind. She hovered at arm's length from the rock wall and carefully retrieved the medicine shovel...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After hearing Long Xianlin's words, Mo Yan and Kailin were shocked.

Resurrection Pill? Isn't this a common elixir in real life, in fairy tales and fantasy novels? Could it be that resurrection from the dead also exists here?

No, just because they share the same name doesn't mean they are the same thing. After all, in this world, many things are different from reality, and perhaps they just happen to have the same name.

Kailin calmed herself down and then asked, "Doctor Long, excuse me, is the resurrection pill you mentioned…"

Before he finished speaking, Long Xianlin nodded: "Yes, it is just as you think. It can summon the souls of the dead back to reality and bring them back to life."

"But what does this have to do with what we are doing now?" Mo Yan asked.

"Because the recipe on this prescription is the folk recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill."

"What?" The two were shocked when these words came out.

"Doctor Long, you must have made a mistake, right?" Karen asked with an expression of disbelief.

But Long Xianlin shook his head. "You probably don't know what the folks say about Muyue Ganoderma and Qinglin Grass. The other herbs on the prescription are easy to understand, as they all replenish the patient's deficiency and replenish their Qi. But Muyue Ganoderma is said to gather the spiritual energy of all things, and as a medicine, it can replenish the spiritual energy lacking in the human body. And Qinglin Grass, because of its growth characteristics, is known as the herb of resurrection."

"There's actually such a thing." Mo Yan lowered his head and thought about it.

"But these are just folk rumors, they may not be credible, right?" Karen frowned.

Mo Yan folded his arms, turned to look at Kailin, and said, "As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. If someone says that, then there's probably some real evidence."

Long Xianlin nodded subconsciously: "That's right. Do you want to see it? When the important person around you leaves you, and you have a prescription that can bring them back to life..."

"Then I will definitely try. After all, no one wants to see their loved ones leave like this." Kailin subconsciously looked at Mo Yan and replied.

"That's right. Even if people know the authenticity of the prescription, they will still risk their lives."

"But what if the prescription is not as miraculous as the rumors say? Then in the end it will be all in vain, and we may even be on the verge of collapse." Mo Yan said seriously.

"But for the sake of their loved ones, how can people care about those things, whether they are true or false? They only keep going because they have hope." Long Xianlin smiled and said, "Even if they know it's stupid, they will still hold on to hope and try their best for their loved ones."

At this moment, Mo Yan seemed to notice something and suddenly remembered the rotten ginseng that Doctor Long had left at home, with a missing corner. He remembered what he had said before...

"He's only 10 years old! And he's all alone..."

"Doctor Long, have you ever..." He was about to speak when Zi Xuan's voice came from not far away.

"Mo Yan! Kailin!" She waved at him excitedly, obviously having picked the Qinglin grass.

Mo Yan's words came to an abrupt end, and at this moment the three of them looked forward at the same time.

"What a bad time you came." He shook his head.

It’s not that Zixuan and Zhao Heng can’t hear it, but Bai Yan is also there, and it’s not good to talk about my guess in front of the person concerned until the matter is fully investigated.

"Xuanxuan, you're back so soon." Kailin forced a smile and said.

"Yes, Doctor Long is right. There's a waterfall not far ahead. If I couldn't fly, it would be difficult to pick herbs from such a smooth rock." Zi Xuan walked forward. "By the way, you just..."

At this moment, she noticed the expressions of the two people. Out of suspicion, she followed their line of sight and floated gently behind them, and her eyes were focused on Bai Yan.

Then she looked at the crocodile carcasses scattered across the ground. Although their bodies bore marks of cuts, the one Long Xianlin had been responsible for hadn't even had its skin peeled off halfway. Seeing this, she somewhat understood Mo Yan's concerns.

She gasped softly, then smiled again: "No, it's okay."

"Then let's go back as soon as possible!" Bai Yan said excitedly as he walked over. He then looked at the herbs in the basket, "With these, Ge Lian will definitely be able to..."

He didn't say anything else, and this action further confirmed Long Xianlin's guess.

On the way back, which was the main road, in order to create an opportunity, Long Xianling deliberately took Bai Yan to walk in front, and Kailin followed beside them, ostensibly to protect them, but actually to cover up.

Zixuan and Zhao Heng were following 5 meters behind. After listening to Mo Yan's explanation of Long Xianlin's guess, they immediately showed some surprise and worry.

"There is actually such a thing." Zhao Heng said seriously while thinking with his head down.

"It seems that things are not that simple. Judging from his behavior, it is indeed a bit strange." Zi Xuan frowned slightly. "If Doctor Long's guess is true, and if the rumors are true, then it's fine. If it doesn't come true, he will definitely collapse."
