Chapter 25
Su Mu gently touched the surface of the Moonheart Stone.
The medicinal formulas from his master's teachings surfaced in his mind.
A glint of sharp insight flashed in his eyes.
Li Chunyang watched Su Mu's expression closely.
This young miracle doctor's reaction was highly unusual.
He couldn't help but speak up. "Young friend Su, do you recognize this object?"
Ren Qingxin's beautiful eyes shifted.
Her slender fingers lightly tapped the table.
"Mr. Su, what exactly is this treasure?"
A slight smile touched Su Mu's lips.
"For you, this is a deadly poison."
His voice remained calm and even.
"Divine Doctor Li, have you heard of the Moonheart Stone?"
Li Chunyang's brow furrowed deeply.
He pondered for a long moment before shaking his head.
"I know of Moonheart Grass and Crescentwood."
"But this Moonheart Stone—I've never heard of it."
Su Mu's fingertips gently brushed the stone's surface.
The formation of this object was nothing short of miraculous.
The symbiotic growth of Moonheart Grass and Crescentwood was already rare.
Let alone their transformation into this amber-like marvel.
"This object is precisely their combined form."
His voice remained composed.
"They grew together through a fortunate coincidence."
"Years of weathering and erosion followed."
"Eventually, it took this form."
Li Chunyang's beard trembled slightly.
"Impossible!"
His voice held disbelief.
"How could two common medicinal herbs become this?"
Su Mu suddenly exerted force in his palm.
The earthy yellow stone shell cracked audibly.
A bluish-black core was revealed.
An interwoven scent of pungency and rich fragrance filled the air.
Li Chunyang's expression changed drastically.
"A highly toxic substance!"
He exclaimed urgently.
Ren Qingxin hurriedly covered her mouth and nose.
Su Mu handed over the shell fragments.
"Smell this instead."
His gaze fell upon the core.
Swirling colors shifted unpredictably across its surface.
Without hesitation, he picked up the core.
Under Li Chunyang's horrified stare, he swallowed it.
A warm sensation instantly spread through his limbs.
A hidden pain somewhere within his body quietly dissipated.
His mind achieved unprecedented clarity.
Ren Qingxin's beautiful eyes widened.
She watched the changes in Su Mu's aura.
She found herself unable to look away.
Su Mu let out a long breath.
The hidden ailment in his spirit finally showed improvement.
He turned to Ren Qingxin with a smile.
"Miss Ren, I will remember your kindness today."
"Ten million will be sent to you shortly."
"Let us each take half of these shell fragments."
"They may save lives in the future."
Ren Qingxin smiled gracefully.
"To receive Mr. Su's guidance."
"Qingxin has already gained invaluable knowledge."
