Chapter 182 A Tranquil Valley Orchid and a Soothing Congee
Upon hearing this, Director Sun subconsciously adjusted his reading glasses:
"Theoretically... that's how it is. The reason her brain is currently in a deep dormancy is because her body doesn't have enough energy and must cut off external perception to focus on repairing her cells."
"Of course, if there is external intervention to replenish the energy she needs to repair herself, her brain's self-protective mechanism will be activated, and she might wake up!"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
Since it is a case of "being unable to tolerate nourishment", and since the massive spiritual energy is accumulating in the body, causing it to go into hibernation, then using ordinary medical IV drips to accelerate metabolism is simply a drop in the ocean!
Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying: "Medicine and food share the same origin." The one who tied the knot must untie it.
Only a higher-level and gentler type of medicinal diet can resolve this stagnation of spiritual energy!
"I see."
Lin Fan nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the duty room.
"Hey! Mr. Lin! Where are you going?!" Director Sun exclaimed anxiously and quickly chased after him.
"Go cook for my daughter." Lin Fan pushed open the door without turning his head.
……
Go downstairs, get in the car, and start the engine.
The Wuling Hongguang sped through the quiet streets in the early morning, heading straight for Phoenix Golden Street.
Ten minutes later, at Lin's shop.
After entering the store, Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in the system space in his mind.
As he stepped into the farm shrouded in dense spiritual mist, a series of crisp system notification sounds immediately rang in his ears!
[Ding! A major transformation in the host's state of mind has been detected, leading to an understanding of the profound principle of "food and medicine sharing the same origin"!]
[Hidden Quest Activated: The World-Saving Chef (Phase 1)]
[Mission Objective: Use ingredients from the Spirit Field to create medicine and successfully save the lives of three critically ill or dying patients (Current Progress: 1/3).]
[Mission Rewards: Unlock the exclusive building 'Spirit Spring Herbal Cuisine Restaurant', 10 Thousand-Year Wild Ginseng Seeds, and permanently increase the flow rate of all attributes in the farm space by 200%!]
Lin Fan's pupils contracted slightly.
really!
The system is not just a cooking aid; it is a heaven-defying entity that possesses the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth!
So-called "spiritual ingredients" are essentially the purest life energy!
For ordinary people, it can strengthen their bodies, but for those on the verge of death, it is an elixir that can bring them back to life!
"The little girl with leukemia is one example, and Tuantuan's current condition... if I can wake her up, that should also count as progress."
Lin Fan strode quickly into the depths of the farm.
He didn't look at the vibrant [top-quality cabbage] and [spiritual green-backed river shrimp].
His current goal is very clear.
In her current state, Tuantuan's body is in a state of extreme self-protection, and she cannot swallow ordinary spiritual ingredients, even if they are made into soup.
He needs a supreme divine object that can instantly transform into the purest energy, directly penetrate the human body's barriers, and awaken the brain's consciousness!
Lin Fan's gaze finally settled on the mutated tea trees growing alongside the century-old plum tree.
【Orchid Tea in a Secluded Valley】
The system's assessment is: the leaves are like cracked ice, and the tea soup is like a spiritual spring. It has the miraculous effect of cleansing the soul and reshaping the mind.
"This is it."
Lin Fan carefully picked the topmost nine tender leaves, which were as translucent as glass.
Just holding it in your hand, you can smell an exquisite fragrance that refreshes the mind and seems to instantly dispel all fatigue and gloom.
But that's not enough!
Without hesitation, he focused his mind and directly drew a handful of pure [spiritual spring water] from the deepest part of his body!
Ten minutes later, at Lin's shop.
The roller shutter door was tightly closed, and the lights in the shop were off, with only the stove in the back kitchen emitting a faint blue glow.
Lin Fan stood in front of the Purple Gold Bagua Wok, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of all distractions.
This time, he wasn't cooking, he was concocting medicine!
"Whoosh!"
A handful of crystal-clear Xiangshui tribute rice was poured into a clay pot.
In traditional Chinese medicine, rice water is known as the "king of all medicines" because it can gently encapsulate the potent effects of medicines and protect the patient's weak stomach and intestines.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fan poured the handful of [spiritual spring water] into it.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook slowly.
The incredible evenness of heat distribution in the Purple Gold Bagua Pot was brought to its fullest potential at this moment.
In just fifteen minutes, the rice grains in the pot completely melted, turning into a thick, rich, milky-white rice porridge that exuded an amazing vitality.
"The final step."
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed, and he crushed the nine glass-like leaves of the [Valley Orchid Tea] and sprinkled them into the boiling rice porridge!
However, the moment the tea leaves came into contact with the rice porridge!
A visible wisp of bluish-green mist suddenly rose from the clay pot!
That wasn't water vapor at all, but rather an extremely concentrated, almost liquefied, spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
The originally milky white rice porridge was instantly dyed into an extremely noble and clear light blue color.
An indescribable, wonderful aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen and even wafted out onto the street through the exhaust fan.
The aroma carries the richness of tribute rice, the sweetness of spiritual spring water, and the ethereal quality of orchids in a secluded valley that can strike straight to the soul!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for creating a top-grade medicinal cuisine: Orchid in a Secluded Valley Soothing Porridge!]
[Medicinal Cuisine Rating: Exquisite (Unique)]
【Characteristics: A source of vitality. It gathers the pure essence of orchids from secluded valleys and blends the rich flavor of tribute rice from sacred springs. The rice porridge, though formless, transforms into vital energy that enters the internal organs, calming the mind, strengthening the body, and cleansing away impurities.】
Lin Fan's eyes lit up! He immediately put the pot of pale blue "immortal porridge" into a thermos and tightened the lid.
He turned around and rushed out of the kitchen.
……
The First Municipal Hospital, VIP ward.
Shen Man hadn't slept all night, and she arrived very early. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Tuan Tuan's little hand tightly.
Meanwhile, Qin Lang was standing in the corridor, frantically trying to contact top pediatric immunology experts across the ocean.
Due to the time difference, he could only make overseas calls again and again at this time to discuss the illness.
Director Sun didn't leave either. He sat on the sofa some distance away, holding one lab report after another, seemingly possessed, constantly muttering various medical terms:
"This doesn't make sense... The absorption speed is too fast... This is practically perfect cell remodeling... What exactly is that substance...?"
"Bang."
The door to the ward was gently pushed open.
Lin Fan carried a thermos and walked in, bringing with him the chill of the early morning.
Upon hearing the door open, Qin Lang abruptly hung up the phone and rushed into the ward; Shen Man also stood up as if electrocuted; even the director, who was in a daze, was jolted awake, suddenly raised his head, and stared intently at the silver thermos in Lin Fan's hand with his bloodshot eyes.
"Brother Lin! You're finally back!"
Qin Lang, his eyes bloodshot, strode over to Lin Fan and spoke urgently in a low voice.
"I just contacted the top pediatric immunologist at the Mayo Clinic, and they said the chartered plane can land in Jiangcheng this afternoon! If all else fails, we'll take Tuantuan abroad for treatment!"
