Mu Yang did not act directly.
Instead, he first asked for Baizhu's opinion.
After all, this was the other's Legend Quest; he'd already freeloaded enough.
He had to give him full face.
Moreover, this was his patient; how to proceed should indeed consult the doctor's opinion.
Seeing Baizhu nod, Mu Yang drew Withering Glory and with one sword severed the product condensed from the God Remnant.
Also severing the connection between the child poison and the mother poison...
After Jialiang lost the suppression of the child poison, his chest immediately began to hurt.
Accompanied by gradually recovering memories.
[...Your mind and memories will be eroded by it... in the end, it's no different from being dead...]
[...Use it, at least... I can still guard you both, watch Ayu grow up.]
...
Jialiang recalled the scenes in his mind.
These scenes tugged at his heart more than his heart disease.
[...Mom! You don't look right...]
[...It's okay, it's okay, Mommy will go gather herbs right away. Nothing will happen to our family...]
Jialiang really couldn't bear it anymore.
His heart was in extraordinary stabbing pain.
But at this moment, he kept pounding his own head.
He wanted to stop these wild thoughts.
The memories recovering at this time had instead become his burden.
Wasn't this meant to shake his resolve to die?
No, no more remembering.
In a daze, Jialiang saw Jiangli in the distance slowly awakening from her coma.
He had thought seeing this scene would be satisfying enough...
Jialiang self-mocked, "People ah, the longer they live, the greedier they get..."
"Really want... to hear your voice again."
The awakened Jiangli rushed to Jialiang's side, tears streaming as she kept calling out.
But no matter what, Jialiang couldn't hear anymore.
Originally, he only had a heart disease.
But years of using poison refined from God Remnants had already transformed his body.
Now losing the child poison, the functions sustained by the poison were slowly failing.
Jialiang still wanted to say something, but could no longer open his mouth.
Finally, even his eyelids no longer obeyed him, heavily closing...
[So sad, why must you hurt me with this kind of knife]
[Romance I can tolerate, but they're doing it for Ayu...]
[Family knife, unavoidable]
[Old Mi calculated that I'd fall for this set, wuu wuu...]
Just when players thought the screen would go black and Jialiang had already kicked the bucket.
They heard Jiangli's calls.
"—Jialiang! Jialiang!"
"—Dad! Are you awake?"
Jialiang on the sickbed opened his eyes and actually saw his wife and son.
And not far away, Lumine...
What was going on here?
[Holy, how did he revive? Is Bubu Pharmacy's Qiqi fully constellated?]
[You, give me back my tears]
[Mine don't need returning, because I really have full Constellation Qiqi...]
[If you don't want, give to me. Qiqi wife is so cute, surprisingly someone doesn't like her, hmph]
Jialiang struggled to sit up, "Ugh... Jiangli... Ayu?"
He couldn't believe what he saw.
"I wasn't already..." He tried to raise his hand, but saw it covered densely with talismans.
"What are these?"
Baizhu walked in smiling from the doorway.
"—How does it feel to come back from the dead?"
"If there's any discomfort or abnormality... could you describe it to me in detail?"
Jialiang still hadn't figured it out, "Mr. Baizhu! I... I shouldn't have..."
Back in the cave, Mr. Baizhu had clearly said there was no saving him.
Why did he wake up in Bubu Pharmacy now?
And asking how coming back from the dead felt.
Could Mr. Baizhu's medical skills really be profound to this extent?
No, coming back from the dead shouldn't fall under medical skills anymore...
Baizhu's expression unchanged, still gently smiling as he answered.
"Hehe, you did indeed die once. The current you is closer to a zombie than a human."
"...Zombie?"
Baizhu nodded, "Correct. Before we set out, I had Qiqi prepare a dose of [Elixir of Immortality], maintaining your body in the crevice between life and death."
"Though far from true Adeptus arts, it can probably only extend your life a bit."
"As for specifically days, months, or years... I also want to take this opportunity to observe further."
——————
Silver Wolf's livestream room.
The plot reached this point.
Silver Wolf also saw Baizhu's true purpose.
As well as those words he said when teasing Paimon earlier.
"From Qiqi's story, we know her life was saved by an Adeptus."
"From then on frozen between life and death. Didn't expect Adeptus arts to actually be researched by Baizhu."
[He probably deduced it through Qiqi]
[That's still very impressive okay]
[Just now don't know what he's researching this for]
Silver Wolf smiled, "I've already figured it out, no spoilers. You guys watch ahead."
[I guess it's related to the secret art of saving people]
[Just zombie is far from enough, but indeed already very impressive]
[Why not let Mu Yang speak up and ask Madame Ping?]
[Probably have to wait for Qiqi's Legend Quest to reveal]
Silver Wolf expressed agreement, "After all, immortal and mortal differ, it involves fate and opportunity. Mu Yang tacitly allowing Baizhu to research God Remnants is already very satisfying for Baizhu."
"I think later Mu Yang might intervene, after all the stronger Baizhu becomes, through the contract, Changsheng might also recover power."
——————
On Teyvat's side.
Baizhu's subsequent words were for Hu Tao to hear.
Jialiang had now come back to life; he hoped that Hu Tao could wait until the day he truly dies.
Before taking the person away.
Hu Tao coldly huffed.
"[Elixir of Immortality]... just how long have you been secretly tinkering with this to actually refine such a thing?"
"A half-finished product in name and reality. If not for Jialiang's firm will, it probably wouldn't have much effect."
He walked up to Hu Tao.
"In the end, I'm just a physician, I don't understand so much about cycles of life and death, the great principles of yin-yang constancy."
"I only know that if there's a life worth saving right in front of me, there's no reason not to save it."
"Moreover, before we set out, wasn't it Hall Master Hu who had Jialiang come help guide the way?"
[Ah? So Hu Tao wasn't eavesdropping]
[No wonder Mu Yang didn't expose her then]
[So Baizhu also sensed it, are they all this sharp?]
Hu Tao pretended surprise, "Aiya ya, exposed huh."
"No wonder you didn't mention the immortality medicine then, even in that situation still guarding against me."
Hu Tao talked to herself, finding a way out for herself.
Mouth saying helping fulfill wishes, lest wandering on yin-yang boundary and needing extra effort for transcendence and such, she walked out Bubu Pharmacy's door.
"Forget it forget it, just consider the order delayed."
Hu Tao finished speaking and left dashingly.
