Chapter 835: The Blue Sea Turned Into Mulberry Fields (2/2)
Also, back when he had left Earth, the casual use of antibiotics had been prohibited. How many years had it been? Why were antibiotics being applied through the IV needle?
”Many thanks for saving me. I still don’t know how I can address you.” Mo Wuji hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
The youth laughed and waved his hand, ”There’s no need to be so courteous. It’s just a simple matter. I’m Xian Zhiyang, I’m a student of the Faculty of Extraterrestrial Biology at Xing Wu University.”
Mo Wuji smiled, ”It might be a simple matter for you, but it’s far from simple for me. Oh right, I’m called Mo Wuji.”
Actually, Mo Wuji knew that even if Xian Zhiyang didn’t save him, he shouldn’t meet with any further injuries since he was on Earth. Even if he met with some wild animal, that animal wouldn’t be able to harm him. His God Physique would definitely be too tough for the fangs of the animals here. This IV needle was different; it didn’t pose any harm to his body.
”Since you are fine, then you can go and settle the payment,” After saying this to Xian Zhiyang, the nurse walked into the room and began tidying the medicines and the tools.
”Alright Mo Wuji, you can follow me. After we pay the fees, we can go for a meal,” Xian Zhiyang said jovially as he patted Mo Wuji’s shoulder.
Mo Wuji didn’t have any bag. Although Xian Zhiyang didn’t know where Mo Wuji got his ointment from, he was clear that Mo Wuji didn’t have any cash or identity card with him.
”Many thanks. The air here rather smelly, it’s best if we leave soon,” Mo Wuji said hurriedly. He seemed to feel that something was amiss. He decided that he was going to ask Xian Zhiyang some questions.
Xian Zhiyang chuckled, ”Wuji, the air here has been purified. Once we leave the hospital, you will have a real taste of what’s smelly. However, our country is researching on a nationwide air purification device. When that time comes, things wouldn’t be as bad as it is now.”
”Zhiyang, Xing Da Auxiliary Hospital seems rather old and dilapidated. How can it be the biggest hospital in Qi Shu City?” As he followed Xian Zhiyang to pay the bills, Mo Wuji took the opportunity to ask.
Xian Zhiyang sighed, ”The equipment here is already tens of years old. Qi Shi City cannot compare to other cities. Our city is not developed in terms of spatial navigation. After entering the Age of Space, the Earth’s atmosphere was damaged the air was contaminated. The rich and powerful all chose to leave Earth and head for Planet Diyuan. Our country is considered one of the more powerful countries in the world; we own a piece of habitable land on Planet Diyuan. As long as one is capable, one would have the opportunity to go to Planet Diyuan.”
The two had already reached the payment counter. Mo Wuji saw Xian Zhiyang’s receipt; it was $631. The key thing he saw was the date; the year 2077 was especially stunning.
Since he left, half a century had already passed. He didn’t know whether he would meet any familiar faces on this Earth.
”Let’s go, let’s have a good meal. Oh right, where’s your hometown? Why did you come to Qi Shu City?” Xian Zhiyang said in an extremely carefree matter after paying the fees.
”It’s Chang Luo. Thereafter, I worked at Jing Yang for a period of time. Oh right, I worked for Jing Yang’s Xia Clan. Have you heard of it?” Mo Wuji was feeling rather absent-minded. Actually, he didn’t really have the same urge to see Xia Ruoyin at this moment. Instead, he wanted to find Wen Xiaoqi. Was she doing well after these decades? Did she have grandchildren? Or had she gone to that Planet Diyuan that Xian Zhiyang mentioned?
”I naturally know of Jing Yang’s Xia Clan,” Xian Zhiyang said to Mo Wuji with an expression of respect, ”The Xia Clan has direct access to Planet Diyuan. In fact, they have their own spaceship. Xia Clan’s body tempering fluid is something the entire world desires. It’s said that Planet Diyuan isn’t as safe as Earth. Even though the air there is clean and the environment is beautiful, there are actually plenty of fierce beasts…”
As he said this, Xian Zhiyang seemed to recall something. He said to Mo Wuji, ”Wuji, that ointment of yours is not bad too. It actually healed you in such a short period of time. You didn’t even need any antibiotic injections. If you start a company and sell that ointment, you might be able to tap into a huge market in Planet Diyuan.”
Mo Wuji silently clenched his fists tightly. Xia Clan’s body tempering fluid? That was his meridian opening fluid, ok? It was just that the formula that he kept in his notebook wasn’t perfect and there were also some key ingredients and steps which he didn’t write down. After Xia Ruoyin plotted against him, she didn’t receive the exact formula.
Clearly, Xia Clan’s body tempering fluid was modified from that incomplete formula of his meridian opening fluid. However, he would definitely take back whatever belongs to him.
”I don’t have the formula. And that ointment was left behind from my ancestors. After I used it, it’s gone.” Mo Wuji was good at discerning people’s character. He could tell that Xian Zhikang wasn’t trying to use an indirect approach to obtain his formula.
Expectedly, Xian Zhiyang sighed, ”That’s a pity… Wuji, The Xia Clan’s space pharmaceutical company is one of the best in the world. It must have been hard for you to enter. Why did you leave?”
Mo Wuji also sighed, ”Because I wasn’t good enough, I was chased out. I was almost killed too.”
Xian Zhiyang didn’t to seem to have found it peculiar when Mo Wuji said that he was almost killed. In fact, it seemed like it was normal to him.
By now, the two had already walked out of the hospital. Indeed, the air outside was far polluted compared to the air in the hospital; it was filled with an indescribable odour.
Mo Wuji lifted his head and saw the dull grey sky. He sighed with deep emotions.
Xian Zhiyang also sighed, ”If not for that planet which exploded near the Solar System those years ago which destroyed Earth’s atmosphere, the Earth wouldn’t be as it is now.”
Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to ask about the explosion of that planet, he still resisted it. It would be weird if he didn’t know of such a huge incident. However, after hearing Xian Zhiyang’s words, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of how Earth got here. It didn’t seem to be entirely man-made. That also seemed right, when he left Earth those years ago, conservation and protection of the Earth’s atmosphere were important matters.
