A golden light flashed, and the talisman burned out in Chu Mengmeng's hand, turning into gold dust that dissipated in the air. At the same time, a powerful force surged out of Chu Mengmeng's body, instantly dispelling the darkness around him. The walking dead were hit by the golden light, and they screamed miserably, with bursts of black smoke coming out of their bodies, and finally turned into ashes.

"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Xiao Yichen hurried forward to check on Chu Mengmeng's condition.

"I'm fine." Chu Mengmeng shook her head, her face a little pale, "It's just that the consumption is a bit large."

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also came over, their faces full of worry.

"Let's leave here first." Xiao Yichen made a prompt decision and led everyone out of the mine quickly.

In order to completely resolve the crisis hidden in Xiao Yichen's body, the group decided to go to the secret valley to seek help from Elder Li, who has superb medical skills.

The valley where Elder Li lived was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Chu Mengmeng and others passed through a dense bamboo forest and finally came to an ancient wooden house.

"Elder Li, I have something to ask you." Xiao Yichen stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

After a while, the door of the wooden house slowly opened, and an old man with white hair and youthful appearance walked out. He glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze, and finally landed on Xiao Yichen, "Are you the boy from the Xiao family?"

"It's me, the junior." Xiao Yichen answered respectfully.

"Come in." Elder Li turned and walked into the wooden house, and Chu Mengmeng and others hurriedly followed in.

Elder Li motioned everyone to sit down, and then carefully asked about Xiao Yichen's condition. After listening to their story, Elder Li frowned slightly, "The poison you were poisoned with is unusual, and I have never seen it before."

Chu Mengmeng's heart sank. Could it be that even Elder Li had no solution?

“But…” Elder Li paused, his eyes fell on Chu Mengmeng, “I have an ancient medical skill here, maybe it can help you.”

Elder Li said as he took down an ancient medical book from the bookshelf and handed it to Chu Mengmeng. "This book records the treatment methods for various difficult and complicated diseases. Take it back and study it carefully. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Chu Mengmeng took the medical book and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Elder Li."

After returning to the room, Chu Mengmeng couldn't wait to open the medical book. The text in the medical book was obscure and difficult to understand, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she studied it more attentively. With the golden finger brought by the time travel - the ability of photographic memory, Chu Mengmeng quickly mastered the contents of the medical book. She read the medical book over and over again, constantly simulating various treatment plans in her mind.

Xiao Yichen was touched and distressed when he saw Chu Mengmeng working so hard. He knew that everything Chu Mengmeng did was for him.

"Mengmeng, take a rest." Xiao Yichen walked to Chu Mengmeng with a cup of hot tea and said softly.

"I'm fine. I want to watch for a while longer." Chu Mengmeng replied without raising her head.

"You've been watching for a whole day. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it." Xiao Yichen put the teacup on the table and gently rubbed Chu Mengmeng's shoulders. "I know you are worried about me, but you have to take care of yourself too, otherwise how can I feel at ease?"

Chu Mengmeng raised her head and looked at Xiao Yichen's concerned eyes, her heart warmed, "I know, I will pay attention to rest."

In the following days, Chu Mengmeng studied medicine hard while taking good care of Xiao Yichen. She made medicinal food for him every day, massaged his acupuncture points, and helped him solve his problems. With Chu Mengmeng's encouragement and care, Xiao Yichen also actively cooperated with the treatment and worked hard to get better.

As they worked together, their feelings deepened. Xiao Yichen looked at the girl who worked so hard for him, and his heart was filled with gratitude and love. He knew that he would never let go of her hand again in his life. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, making the room warm. Chu Mengmeng put down the medical book in her hand and rubbed her sore eyes. During this period of time, she had devoted almost all her thoughts to Xiao Yichen's illness. The medical skills taught by Elder Li were profound and extensive. Chu Mengmeng was like a dry sponge desperately absorbing knowledge. At the same time, she was constantly trying to use her "golden finger" to analyze the toxins in Xiao Yichen's body, hoping to find a more effective treatment method.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so focused?" Xiao Yichen walked to Chu Mengmeng's side without her knowing when, and his gentle voice brought her back to her senses.

Chu Mengmeng raised her head and looked at Xiao Yichen. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "I'm wondering when you will get better, and then accompany me to the foot of the mountain to taste all the delicacies in the world."

Xiao Yichen chuckled and held her in his arms, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Suddenly, Chu Mengmeng seemed to remember something, left Xiao Yichen's arms, walked quickly to the table, and picked up an old book. This was a book she accidentally found in Elder Li's study. The pages were yellowed and recorded all kinds of rare and exotic plants and strange stories.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, Xiao Yichen walked over curiously.

Chu Mengmeng pointed to a page with a picture of a red plant with petals blooming like flames, emitting a strange light. "Look at this, isn't it very similar to the 'Heart-burning Grass' that Elder Li mentioned before?"

"Heart-burning grass?" Xiao Yichen carefully identified the plant in the picture, "It does look very similar. Could it be..."

“The book says that the Burning Heart Grass grows in extremely cold places and is born along with volcanoes. It blooms only once every hundred years. When the flower blooms, its medicinal properties are the strongest, and it can cure all the strange poisons in the world…” Chu Mengmeng’s voice trembled slightly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

“You mean…” Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng, an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.

"Let's go find the Burning Heart Grass to detoxify you!" Chu Mengmeng said firmly, with an unprecedented light flashing in her eyes.

However, the next moment, Chu Mengmeng's face became solemn. "But, the book also says that the place where the Burning Heart Grass grows is extremely dangerous. It is shrouded in miasma all year round, and there are ferocious beasts roaming around..."

Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to give it a try, for you and for myself."
