Chapter 14 Cleansing the Marrow and Meridians? Cleansing the Marrow and Meridians? ...
014
In fact, Jiang Lai felt that she was a daughter of heaven, otherwise how could she have all the good things happen to her?
The ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow finally agreed to acknowledge Jiang Lai as its master, because its true form was in Jiang Lai's secret realm space, and it didn't want to disappear and had to return to its true form. More importantly, it coveted the spiritual energy in Jiang Lai's secret realm space.
To put it simply, this world is already in the Dharma-ending Age, and there is no spiritual energy left outside. However, this does not include Jiang Lai's secret realm space, because the secret realm space contains too many good things, including the existence of ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow.
As long as Jiang Lai doesn't take the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow out and destroy it, this secret realm space will always have enough spiritual energy.
However, Jiang Lai is also unable to cultivate. Even though the spiritual energy in Jiang Lai's secret realm is abundant, people in the Dharma-ending Age no longer have spiritual roots. So even if Jiang Lai's space has spiritual energy, it is useless. It can only be used for beauty and health, and at most, to strengthen the body and prolong life.
"Did your creator give you a name? Now that you've acknowledged me as your master, I can't keep calling you 'Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow,' can I? How about I call you Little Jade?" Jiang Lai asked.
“No, I’m not a girl, and I have a name. My name is Jin Nian.” Yu Sui, also known as Jin Nian, said with great pride, “It has the character ‘Nian’ meaning ten thousand years and the character ‘Jin’ meaning jade. Isn’t it perfect for me? I chose this name myself.”
"That really sounds nice. By the way, what do you mean by saying Su Erniu's soul is rotting and stinking?" Jiang Lai suddenly remembered what Yu Sui had just said and had a guess in her mind.
"It doesn't mean anything." Jin Nian was completely confused, not understanding why Jiang Lai asked this question.
"I mean, why did you say Su Erniu's soul is rotten and stinking? Can you see it or smell it?" Jiang Lai asked directly.
"That's right, I'm a ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow, so I have some ability. This Su Erniu's soul is rotten, it smells like decay. Let me tell you, don't get too close to people like this, or you'll definitely get into trouble."
"Can you see everyone, or can you only see Su Erniu's soul?" Jiang Lai asked, feigning curiosity.
"I can only see some extreme cases, such as extremely evil people and extremely kind people. Most people in this world cannot see me."
"And what about me? Did you come here from Su Erniu's place because my soul smells sweet?" Jiang Lai was also a thief, and the only question she asked was whether her soul smelled sweet.
“Yes, you’re a little golden figure that exudes a sweet fragrance and shines with golden light. However, the color of your golden light, which represents a great philanthropist, is a little different from others. Although the golden light is quite strong, it’s also a bit weak. I don’t know why, and I can’t see through it either,” Jin Nian said with a puzzled look.
Jiang Lai was also puzzled, but after hearing what Wan Jinnian said, she felt very pleased. It's hard for a person with a conscience not to be happy when they know that they will be a good person in the future.
"If you don't know, you don't know. As long as you know I'm not a bad person, that's enough." Jiang Lai didn't have much of a reaction to this, but then she said, "If Su Erniu is a bad person, can I give her space to someone else? I don't want hers. Can you find a really nice person covered in gold and give it to her?"
Jiang Lai didn't ask Jin Nian whether she agreed or not, but only asked if it could be done. Sure enough, Jiang Lai got the answer she wanted: "Of course it can, but separating the space from Su Erniu's body will have a certain impact on Su Erniu's body."
What Jin Nian didn't say was that Su Erniu's luck wasn't very good, comparable to Jiang Lai who hadn't come here. After this rebirth, her luck improved with the help of the space, but if the space were removed from Su Erniu, her luck might become even worse.
"Let it have an impact. It's not that I'm heartless. This Su Erniu has already caused the original owner to lose a life. Calling the police will only make her stay in the police station for a while. That's practically no punishment. Even that's letting her off easy." Jiang Lai didn't think she was being heartless at all.
As for whether Jin Nian has a way to separate the space from Su Er Niu's body, Jiang Lai doesn't care, she believes Jin Nian can do it.
"I'm leaving this matter to you. Find a great philanthropist, preferably someone who's sure they'll do good deeds, and send Su Erniu's space over there." After Jin Nian acknowledged her as its master, Jiang Lai treated it without any politeness.
Jiang Lai put the matter aside, leaving Jin Nian there to figure out how to complete it. Jiang Lai then began to study the effects of the spiritual milk produced by the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow, and then she discovered that she had really struck gold.
Knowing that Su Erniu had already drunk the spirit milk, Jiang Lai was quite bold. Since Su Erniu had already tested it on her, she decided to mix three drops of the spirit milk with water and drink it.
However, Jiang Lai had made some preparations beforehand. As a bestselling author, she had read and written quite a few novels. The terms "ten-thousand-year jade marrow" and "spiritual milk" were clearly not ordinary things. Most cultivation novels had the effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body.
Although Jiang Lai didn't know what the effects of Su Erniu drinking the spirit milk water would be, she didn't want to skip any preparations. Better safe than sorry. What if she really expelled a body full of smelly mud like in the novels? Wouldn't that be an obvious message to everyone that she had a problem?
So, after taking Jiang Lai to the hospital, even the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her. Ye Anguo, who was blaming himself for not taking good care of Jiang Lai, finally saw her wake up nearly four hours later.
"Jiang Lai? Jiang Lai? You're awake! Is anything bothering you? I'll go get the doctor." Ye Anguo said with delight.
"I don't feel unwell anywhere, I'm just a little thirsty." Jiang Lai glanced around and realized she was in a hospital. It seemed she had to go home first. There were too many people and too much gossip in the hospital, and it would be troublesome if someone saw her.
"Let me pour you a glass of water." Ye Anguo immediately brought Jiang Lai a glass of water from the table. It was just the right temperature, not too hot or too cold, and it was clear that he had prepared it for her in advance. This earned Ye Anguo even more favor from Jiang Lai.
"Lai Lai is awake?" Jiang Lai was about to speak after drinking some water when she saw Jiang Bolin and Liu Aihua coming over with lunchboxes. Upon seeing that Jiang Lai was awake, they were immediately overjoyed.
"Lai Lai, is there anything else that's bothering you? Have you called a doctor to come and take a look?" Liu Aihua asked.
"I'm fine, no need to call the doctor, Mom, I want to go home," Jiang Lai said coquettishly.
“Okay, okay, let’s go home. If you’re alright, let’s go home.” Jiang Bolin agreed without hesitation.
But Jiang Bolin's agreement was useless. "No, you can only go home after the doctor has seen you and given permission." Although Liu Aihua usually dotes on Jiang Lai and seems to be very obedient, when it comes to Jiang Lai's health, Liu Aihua is actually the most principled one.
"Then Mom, you go quickly. I know my body; I'll definitely be fine," Jiang Lai said.
"Okay. You eat first. I made your favorite steamed pork with rice flour and braised eggplant with green beans. Eat first, and then go back." Liu Aihua said, taking the lunchbox she had brought.
"No, I'll wait until I get home to eat with you all." Jiang Lai has never liked the smell of hospital disinfectant.
"Okay." Liu Aihua answered readily this time, because she knew Jiang Lai didn't like the smell of hospitals, and she also knew Jiang Lai wouldn't joke about her health.
In the end, Jiang Lai was discharged from the hospital smoothly. As mentioned before, the doctor did not find any problems with Jiang Lai's body. The doctor could only find that although Jiang Lai's body was not good, it was quite normal this time. So after another check-up, there were no problems, and Jiang Lai was sent home. Then, Jiang Lai went home with the support of Ye Anguo, Jiang Bolin, and Liu Aihua.
After returning home, she inevitably received a lot of concern from her older brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. During the meal, the Jiang family kept putting food on her plate.
Jiang Lai finally finished her meal, and then, feigning exhaustion, she was kindly escorted back to her room to rest.
Once Jiang Lai was sure no one was around, she mixed three drops of the spiritual milk with water and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, just like the marrow cleansing effect in cultivation novels, Jiang Lai expelled a layer of black, sticky toxins from her body. It smelled terrible, and Jiang Lai almost died from the stench.
However, there were benefits as well. The effects of the spiritual milk were no different from those of cleansing the marrow and removing toxins. After drinking these three drops of spiritual spring water, the toxins were expelled, and Jiang Lai felt lighter. She didn't know what words to use to describe it, but Jiang Lai had a feeling that the original owner's weak and sickly body no longer existed.
Jiang Lai was originally thinking about how to improve her body. She was a homebody and disliked exercise the most, but her body was really weak. Jiang Lai was thinking of practicing in the wind field and gravity body in the space. However, she was lucky and no longer had to force herself.
After the toxins were expelled, it took Jiang Lai a long time to wash off the sticky stuff on her body. As a result, the clothes she was wearing at the time were ruined. Of course, with such an effect, Jiang Lai would be happy to ruin a few more sets of clothes.
After it was all over, Jiang Lai entered a dark and sweet dream, in which everything was possible.
