Chapter 418: Treatment

He knew the white mage, because Qingren obtained the belt from him, and Dimu Li was also personally handed to Qingren by the white mage.

Qingren had told him this, on that desperate day.

In this light, the white mage indeed had a way to cure Li, because Xiao Li had been entrusted by him to Qingren, who had just become a mage.

Now all doubts and lack of understanding have been answered, the logic forms a closed loop.

The white mage is a good person.

Thinking of this, Lun Dao Fan cast all his worries behind his back, watched calmly, and even relaxed his body.

No problem, definitely no problem.

"Give me your hand, Xiao Li." Jiang Xia reached out his hand.

"Mm." Dimu Li actively extended her small hand wearing the ring.

When Jiang Xia placed Dimu Li's hand at his waist, a surge of extremely powerful magic suddenly burst forth, and in an instant a cracking sound exploded, as if something had exceeded its usage limit and shattered, also like the crackling of lit firecrackers.

"The ring, it broke." Dimu Li stared for a moment.

This ring was given to her by Qingren; although it was used to transmit magic, she also cherished it, but now it actually broke.

But she soon could no longer feel this confusion.

An immense surge of magic was erupting from the white mage's body before them, and it poured along Dimu Li's hand into her body.

After receiving the magic, the original feeling of weakness in her body vanished completely.

Her body unexpectedly felt a sense of fullness, as if something had been forcibly infused into it; although arduous, it was very comfortable.

Dimu Li clenched her lower lip tightly, making sure she wouldn't cry out, because crying out during magic replenishment would be truly embarrassing.

Of course, the Philosopher's Stone's magic cannot be controlled by an ordinary mage; Cao Zhen Qingren's magic can only sustain the most basic activity, far insufficient to meet the Stone's needs, but Jiang Xia can.

"Are the soul and body almost completely fused with the Philosopher's Stone?" Jiang Xia frowned.

After carefully examining Dimu Li's body, Jiang Xia discovered that her soul was almost identical to the Philosopher's Stone, so once the Stone was removed, Dimu Li would die.

Therefore, either directly use the Philosopher's Stone's resurrection mechanism, infusing a large amount of magic at once to revive Dimu Li, or directly extract it from her living body, kill her, and thus obtain the Philosopher's Stone.

These two choices are: save the person and lose the Philosopher's Stone; do not save, and Dimu Li's body will disintegrate in half a year.

One is Dimu Zou's choice, the other is Guleimlin's choice.

Children without the ability to choose can only pick one; adults naturally want them all.

To save the person, the stone, he also wants it; this does not stump him.

Jiang Xia reached out his hand; amid everyone's astonished gaze, his right hand plunged directly into Dimu Li's chest, purple light surged forth, the powerful magic quickly gathered in his palm, where the magic coalesced, a gem radiating golden light, resembling a heart, appeared; that reconstructed heart was beating inside Dimu Li's body.

The magic flowed like blood from the heart, gradually circulating throughout her body.

The Philosopher's Stone within her body, amidst the circulating magic, received sufficient energy, sustaining Dimu Li's already deceased body.

This was a magic gem created by the Philosopher's Phantom, retaining most of the phantom's traits, able to automatically restore magic, maintaining the Philosopher's Stone.

But this is only one function; its main function is that this magic gem contains Jiang Xia's power, allowing the Philosopher's Stone to be separated while preserving Dimu Li's soul intact, which takes a little time. Once separated, a new body can be made for her.

It only takes a cell coin, very simple.

An illusory persona can become a sentient being; Dimu Li, who possesses a soul, can likewise.

Once that heart gradually stabilized and formed a connection with the Philosopher's Stone, Jiang Xia released his transformation.

The white-outer robe magic attire turned into specks of starlight, and Jiang Xia's hand also withdrew from Dimu Li's chest.

"The treatment went well; from now on you're free." Jiang Xia clapped his hands, "A happy ending for all."

"Do I really not need magic anymore?" Dimu Li seemed to have just emerged from that comfortable feeling, a bit dazed.

She gripped her own hand tightly, as strong as if she could crush a cup; her originally cold hand gradually gained a trace of warmth, she was no longer cold like a doll.

"Mm, you don't need it anymore; you can choose to travel, eat various things, wear many beautiful clothes, even sever ties with the magical world, live freely, and no longer have to lie weakly in bed as a sleeping beauty."

Jiang Xia looked into Dimu Li's eyes and gently nodded.

Yes, she is no longer a doll; she is Dimu Li, a human, a girl who can live on.

Tragedy may be unforgettable, but comedy is what people strive for.

Dimu Li felt the warmth in her hand, trembled slightly, crystal tears traced her beautiful face, but she seemed unaware she was crying.

After confirming, she threw her arms around Jiang Xia and burst into loud sobs, tears gushing out.

No one knows how much psychological pressure those repeated magic replenishments placed on her; although Qingren is a good person, such endless dependence also made her sad, truly like a doll that needs someone to wind its spring each day to move.

Although she still smiled every day, the inner fear and anxiety were known only to herself; she simply did not want to bring negative emotions to those around her.

She could do nothing, but now she no longer needs to rely on others and can live on her own.

"Xiao Li.." Damen Linzi's eyes also glistened with tears, but she was full of smiles.

"Honestly, it's clearly a good thing, why cry? Why?" Nara Shunping cried, snot and tears streaming.

"Because these are tears of joy." Dimu Li released Jiang Xia, laughing through tears.

Just as several people were wiping away tears, a beast's roar suddenly sounded in Mianying Tang, accompanied by an agonized scream to the extreme.

"It's the crystal ball." Jiang Xia said.

"How could there be such a huge phantom!" Damen Linzi exclaimed.

"This phantom must be synthetic, otherwise why would it have so many heads?" Nara Shunping pointed at the huge phantom.

The huge phantom inside the crystal ball appeared lion-like, with eagle and shark heads on its left and right shoulders, a red bull's head on its chest, and a lizard's tail.

"It's a chimera, the phantom from within Rentang Gongjie's body has burst out." Jiang Xia said.

History has changed; the Lei Jiweng that was supposed to enter Cao Zhen Qingren's body has instead broken Rentang Gongjie's seal, releasing the chimera.

Moreover, it seems the chimera is not easily persuaded when hungry; it is currently fighting Cao Zhen Qingren, and Lei Jiweng is also nearby, meaning Cao Zhen Qingren must battle two phantoms while also protecting the already comatose Rentang Gongjie. (End of chapter)
