In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.
When Liu Ming finally found the girl in a dilapidated wooden hut within the city, she was already gravely ill, looking as if she was on her last breath.
If it were not for a few kindhearted beggars nearby who had taken care of her, Uncle Qian's granddaughter might have passed away at such a young age.
Greatly alarmed, Liu Ming naturally spared no effort in treating her, but he discovered that the disease afflicting the girl was an extremely rare and strange illness that was continuously devouring her vitality as if she had tuberculosis.
Fortunately, Liu Ming had learned many unconventional remedies for treating complex diseases during his time on the perilous island, and he had carried with him numerous spiritual talismans and medicinal pills. This allowed him to temporarily reverse her condition and barely maintain it from deteriorating further. However, a thorough cure would require another type of spiritual medicine that was seldom seen in the world.
