After seeing the liquid on the bark, Zeng Jingrong quickly helped A Feng sit up.
The two cooperated to force A Feng to drink it.
Then, Tian Jing used her ability to scan A Feng's body, "She's stabilized a bit, I'll get more."
After a few more trips, Tian Jing gave up, "This is all I can do to stabilize her."
Zhao Xiaofang stared intently.
"Tian Jing, what did you feed that woman?"
"Plant essence."
"Plant essence?"
Zhao Xiaofang repeated, "Is it the same thing I drank back then?"
"Yes!"
"Then why were you hiding it? And why aren't you hiding it now?"
Tian Jing pointed at Zeng Jingrong, "Ask him."
Facing Zhao Xiaofang's questioning gaze, Zeng Jingrong shook his head, "Unless you can immediately wake A Feng, you are not qualified to know this secret."
"I can't."
Zhao Xiaofang shook her head, "I mixed several types of rat poison from the market."
Rat poison?
Most modern rat poisons contained Dichlorvos, and the other ingredients were concocted by the sellers.
Zeng Jingrong frowned and called Tian Jing aside to talk.
"Tian Jing, I know my request is difficult for you. I don't care what Zhao Xiaofang said, I only beg you to save A Feng."
"This is a personal plea from me, and I will absolutely not report it. You've seen how Jing Liang is, he has remembered A Feng for over thirty years."
"If A Feng dies, he won't be able to live on, and my little aunt won't be able to either."
"I beg you to save her. I'll take Zhao Xiaofang and Li Aiguo away. Even if you can only save half of her, as long as she can live."
Tian Jing looked up at the sky. She truly regretted saving Zhao Xiaofang.
"Alright! I'll trust humanity one more time. If you turn out to be like Zhao Xiaofang, then I'll destroy everything. No one will ever try to probe me again. I am now level five."
Zeng Jingrong's eyes sparkled, "Level five? How did you cultivate?"
Tian Jing shot him a glance, "That's classified. Go quickly and knock those two out, then wait here."
"You..." Before Zhao Xiaofang could exclaim, she was knocked unconscious with a chop.
Li Aiguo naturally suffered the same fate.
Watching Tian Jing disappear like lightning, carrying a person, a fighting spirit rose in Zeng Jingrong's eyes.
He had been stuck at the peak of level three for five years. If he could learn Tian Jing's cultivation method, could he also level up?
Tian Jing propped A Feng between the branches of a tree before heading to Xiao Song.
"Xiao Song."
"Tian Tian. You finally came to see me? Is that whirring thing in the sky the helicopter you mentioned? Are they looking for me?"
Xiao Song's words made Tian Jing feel even more guilty, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. But they aren't looking for you, they're looking for Misty Valley."
Xiao Song felt relieved, "Tian Tian, it's not your fault. One day, my uniqueness will be discovered by humans, but by then, it might be my end."
"Xiao Song?"
Tian Jing was surprised, "Why are you talking like that? Isn't it good here? You have Xiao Qing and the others with you."
Xiao Song was indifferent, "I've just been through a lot of fear lately and had a realization. No life is eternal."
"I've lived long enough. I used to live alone, now I live happily."
Tian Jing was speechless.
Xiao Song, however, asked her, "Did they find Misty Valley? I haven't heard the sound of helicopters lately."
"They found it. The situation is not resolved yet."
"Then why are you here? I saw you place someone on another tree."
"I..."
"Are you going to save that person?"
"Yes!"
Tian Jing no longer hesitated, "I don't know if it will work. That person was sprayed with poisonous powder."
"Then chop it."
"I didn't bring a knife. Can you try to send down two drops from the root?"
"Okay, wait."
After waiting for over half an hour, Xiao Song spoke.
"Tian Tian, help me. I've already moved it to the lateral root, and I can't squeeze it out."
"Where?"
"Where a little root tip is exposed. You use your ability to draw it out, and I'll squeeze."
After a few minutes of cooperation between the person and the tree, two drops of green juice were squeezed out.
Tian Jing's inner thoughts were confirmed, and she smiled happily.
"Xiao Song, try to move all the tree core essence to the various roots."
"That way, no matter if humans accidentally or intentionally cut you, your tree core essence won't flow out of the trunk."
"Alternatively, if humans don't even spare your roots, let the essence flow out from the root tips and spread into the soil to nourish the earth and trees, preventing greedy humans from obtaining it."
"Yes, yes!"
Xiao Song was very pleased, "I'm quite idle, I'll try practicing."
Tian Jing recalled a knotting method from a dream during the apocalypse, "...Xiao Song, if you can't store it in the roots after moving it, try practicing this knotting method. If you can practice it, try to form the essence into knots at the root."
Xiao Song shooed her away, "Okay, okay, hurry up and go. I'll try it now."
Tian Jing dripped the two drops of green juice into A Feng's mouth, then picked her up and quickly returned.
The helicopter was almost here.
As expected, the moment she placed A Feng back in her original position, the roar of the helicopter sounded.
Zeng Jingrong hurried over and asked, "How is she?"
"I haven't checked yet."
Her ability entered, the stomach area was not severely blocked, but the liver area was still somewhat congested.
"It's slowed down a bit. It's the tree essence I applied that's working."
Zeng Jingrong immediately chimed in, "Right! Let's leave together on the helicopter."
Tian Jing refused, "I know you've realized I'm different, and I haven't deliberately hidden it."
"But that doesn't mean I'm willing to expose everything. I like a simple life. I hate various schemes and calculations against me. Now, I just want to follow your vehicle."
Zeng Jingrong didn't insist, "Tell Jing Chu and Jing Liang that I will find the best doctors to treat A Feng."
Two people got out of the helicopter and helped carry away the unconscious Zhao Xiaofang and Li Aiguo.
Before boarding the plane, Zeng Jingrong requested, "When we get to the capital, wait for me. I have something to ask you."
Tian Jing waved goodbye to him noncommittally and turned to descend the mountain.
Ask her?
It would undoubtedly be about the methods for cultivating and advancing her abilities.
Hers were impossible to replicate.
Unless these people occupied Misty Valley...
Perhaps...
Halfway down, she met Zeng Jingliang, whose face was pale.
Zeng Jingchu followed behind him.
Upon seeing Tian Jing, Zeng Jingliang stopped, his face becoming even paler.
"Tian Jing..."
He only managed to call out Tian Jing's name before collapsing.
Tian Jing reached out and caught him.
"Thank you."
Zeng Jingchu stepped forward and shifted Zeng Jingliang, who had slumped onto Tian Jing's shoulder, to lean on his own.
Then, he reached into Zeng Jingliang's collar and took out a small bottle.
He sprayed it under Zeng Jingliang's nose, and soon, the purplish-lipped Zeng Jingliang began to recover.
"He has asthma?"
"Yes."
"Running with asthma? He's trying to die?"
"He was worried about A Feng, and my cousin used the helicopter."
"Captain Zeng said he would find the best doctors to treat A Feng, and A Feng's condition has already improved."
Zeng Jingliang could breathe normally now, "Thank you, Tian Jing."
Tian Jing waved her hand, "Why are you thanking me? Speaking of which, it's my fault that A Feng was implicated."
