Chapter 1172
Spring Old nodded without hesitation. She swallowed the pill and drank the water in one gulp. Zhu Yanyi set the cup aside and helped her onto the bed. Spring Old yawned, looking sleepy. Zhu Yanyi casually inserted a gold needle into her sleep acupoint. Spring Old slowly fell asleep.
Zhu Yanyi used her special ability to observe her. She saw that the missing one-tenth of her brain matter began to emit new signals. The empty space started to repair itself automatically. Everyone watched as Spring Old lay in bed, her face covered in sweat. If not for the gold needle holding her still, Spring Old, lacking her wisdom, might have hurt herself.
The people nearby felt deeply conflicted. They didn’t know exactly what he was feeling, but they could see it was painful.
"Ani, Old Spring seems to be in great pain," Elder Jan said with concern. Seeing Spring Old like this, he felt a nameless sadness in his heart.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She knew, but this was the process of Nirvana. She comforted Elder Jan: "I know. But this is the effect of the Nirvana Pill. Phoenix Nirvana happens at the moment of death. That pain is seeking life from death. Although I improved this pill, this heaven-defying pain still exists. Human nature follows the flow. Now I am forcing a reversal, so he must bear some pain. That is why I used the needle on Grandpa Spring. He is missing one-tenth of his brain. If I didn’t help him with the needle, he might not survive the Nirvana smoothly. That would only harm him."
"How long will this take?" Elder Yun asked with concern. The Nirvana Pill was truly heaven-defying.
Zhu Yanyi kept her eyes fixed on Spring Old’s changes. She said, "About one more hour. The Nirvana Pill’s effect is quite domineering. With the original pill, you wouldn’t finish Nirvana in less than a day and night. This version is what I deliberately adjusted. It is already the best outcome." Zhu Yanyi felt heartache for Spring Old’s pain, but she knew that after pain comes the rainbow. So, despite the suffering, she could only watch from the side.
Gu Jingtian stepped forward, checked Spring Old’s pulse, and said, "Old Spring’s vitality seems to be returning to youth."
"Nirvana. If it didn’t have this effect, wouldn’t it waste the name Nirvana Pill?" Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. In reality, her eyes never left Spring Old, and her special ability continued to monitor her condition.
Spring Old’s missing brain matter was slowly growing. At any time, loss or growth in the body is very painful. As his brain matter grew, his memories gradually became complete.
After exactly two hours, Spring Old finally opened his eyes. Zhu Yanyi stepped forward, removed the gold needle, and whispered, "Grandpa Spring."
Spring Old turned her head. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, her eyes were a bit confused. "Ani, what happened to me?" She frowned slightly, then some memories slowly appeared in her mind. She realized she had been suffering from senile dementia for nearly a year. She looked at her hands and showed disgust. "No wonder my hands are so weak and powerless. It’s because I haven’t exercised for a long time. Getting old, and then getting such a strange illness."
