Life Drain System

    " ... Also, Yang said that whatever this is, it is not something within the systems knowledge base. Thus it is something new, or not yet discovered in the universes." Yueliang explains as they run.

    "So that is the case, hmm. It is kind of interesting to think that no one has discovered this yet whatever it is, or that it may be a new ailment." Shen Hu said quietly.

    "Well, personally I thought it is new, because if someone so much as got this once before, it should have information in Yangs' data bank. However the fact that it is still not in there despite Qing getting this, I do not know what to think now. I mean it should at least tell about it even if the cure is not found or understood yet." Yue nearly trips while running with Qing in his arms.

    Hearing his reply, Shen Hu just stays silent the rest of the trip, while Yueliang follows suit. As they make their way to the mana crystal cave, there is a beauty busy at work elsewhere.

---- Meanwhile Elsewhere ----

    In a nice well supplied and pristine kitchen, a lady with jade like skin, as well as white furry ears and a tail is walking around while humming. She picks up a bowl from a shelf, and places it on the counter, before going to the stove to get the pot of boiling salt water with something inside. Seeing that there were 4.56 jin of her gold potatoes that she skinned, inside still not done, she carefully puts the lid back on them. 

    Going back to the counter, she picks up a knife, as well as a small white onion, and dices it into small square pieces. She picks up the cutting board, and slides it all into the bowl with the knife elegantly. Next she does the same with a few pickles. Next pouring in mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, some finely chopped celery, and chives. 

    Next she takes the pot of potatoes and dumps the boiling salt water into the steel sink, that flows into the steel pipes with an enchantment to transport it to the farm, while of course changing its temperature so as to not kill the plants. Grabbing out the potatoes she cuts them up, dumping them into a second bowl, then pouring vinegar, and eggs, before mixing them all by hand.

    Having finished mixing all of this together, She dumps it into the other bowl, and mixing these two together while pouring in hydrogen peroxide she thinks to herself. 'I hope the men enjoy this when they return. I even added hydrogen peroxide to clean our teeth, and over all this should make some wonderful potato salad.'

    Then finally she places it into the enchanted refrigerator when she hears. "Huoli, can you help me clean this?" Xue Meiren says while using her chi to rub vinegar and baking soda into different parts of the stove to clean it, using her front paws on the counter so that she can see what she is doing. 

    "Sure, however can you take the rest of it and put it into a bottle before putting it under the sink for later?" Huoli replies.

    "Alright." Xue Meiren replies, as she pushes off of the stove, and using her chi she levitates the mixture of baking soda and vinegar and pours it into a bottle. Then puts the lid on nice and tight before levitating it into cabinet beneath the sink that she opens with her paws.

---- Shortly After In The Mana Crystal Cave ----

    Yueliang and Shen Hu slow their running until they come to a halt in the middle of a cavern. Then Yue lays down Qing who is still asleep in his arms with a pained looking expression. He proceeds to sit beside her, before guiding his chi into her body, thus utilizing it to examine what is going inside, on before doing anything.

      Yue watches as what is seemingly mostly semi transparent cells moving through her body, pretty quickly bouncing around, hitting everything in their path. However he also sees them gradually slowing down.

    Whilst watching he thinks to himself. 'Is this some sort of ailment that occurs from not using chi? If so because I introduced it too her then I should be the cause. No, it cannot be as there is chi all around us, as well as what makes up our body. Then maybe it is because she is not used to so much flowing through her at once, thus she is facing a rejection of sorts. Well now I feel a little guilty, for nearly killing an innocent.'

      'All in all, the reason must because a group like this probably would not have people with chi or anything around them normally, thus weakening there body. So over all, I am the cause due to introducing her to such things.' Yueliang thought to himself as he analyzes the situation. He then guides the semi invisible cells all to one location in her right pinky with his chi. 

      After guiding it to her pinky finger on her left hand, he takes out a small knife from his inventory before making a small incision on the tip of her finger, letting the cell like substance flow out, and turning black and slimy upon touching the air.

    While continuing to push this substance out Yueliang thinks to himself. 'So instead of actually making potions, I need to just use the ingredients if I want to help her speed along her recovery. Hmm, Aloe vera for her external injuries, and as a drink to strengthen her internal body. Then Calendula tea, as well as a poultice made from the marshmallow plant and some others should help.' 

    Leaving her body to rest and sleep on the ground after removing the black slime like goo, he starts working on preparing the medicine from left overs that he bought long ago. First preparing the  Calendula as a tea, then moving on to making the poultice, before extracting the goo from inside the Aloe Vera plant for external and internal use.

    Before even finishing, a pair of pretty eyes open, and just watch the work being done in front of her. Lady Qing stays silent, and just admires the careful work being done to prepare medicine while thinking. 'Wow, if we were back in my town, he would be very popular. Being able to work with herbs is something that takes a lot of study and practice. To think he can not only fight but also work as a doctor. Also, come to think of it, where am I?'

    She starts looking around, seeing beautiful blue, purple, and a few other colored mana crystals in the what seems to be a cave. Even seeing a small pond near one of the sides with some water dripping into it peacefully. 'Are we in a cave in the forest? Who knew caves where so pretty and serene? Hmm, are those mana crystals?' She pondered, each question bringing forth more questions as time passes.

    Looking over to his left as he finishes making the different medicines, Yueliang sees her seemingly awake. "Look who is awake, sleepy head. Here have some tea it should help, also if I may see your left hand." Yueliang says while passing her a large cup of tea, and reaching his hand out.

    Reaching out with her right, she clasps the cup before drinking from it. While taking a sip, she reaches her left hand forward, allowing Yueliang to examine it. He gets some of the goo from a small plate he prepared it on, and starts rubbing it on and around her pinky injury, while she does not even wince from the pain. 

    "Qing, I apologize for putting you into this situation. If I did not try speeding along your healing process, you would not have gotten sick." Yue says while applying the medicine.

    "Do not worry about it. Although I did not expect it, I am sure neither did you. Also, while this may have happened because of that, you are also the one who fixed it and to me that is what matters more, don't you agree?" Qing says.

    Hearing that, Yueliang looks up at her, into her eyes, before saying. "You are too kind, but yes I agree. It is less about how it happened, and more about doing the right thing in the end. Anyways, I have a poultice here for you. If you do not know how to use it, let me know, and I will explain it. Then there is also these creams to apply all over your body at night and let them soak in. They will not only heal you but also, make you more beautiful and healthier at the same time. Then last but not least here is a drink, and some tea bags for the next week."

    "You really went all out, thank you so much, however I have one question. How should I carry all this to town?"

      "What do you... , ahh right, you were asleep. We are actually already here, and underneath it." Yueliang replies with a gentle smile.
