Chapter 596: Chapter 434: New Myth, I Owe You a Favor_2
Professor Lu Tiantian analyzed the biological data for over four hours and commanded, “Now hang a Delta drip bottle for it.”
“I’ve estimated that we’ll need about 10 tons of Delta Potion, and 1.2 tons of Anti-interference Hormone. Let’s use up all we have on hand and wait for the Little Mirage Dragon to transport the new batch of medicine.”
“Great Commander, make this Puppet’s body a bit smaller, let these vines circulate along the loop structure, much like the tissue akin to blood vessels… We need to hang drip bottles in every nook and cranny within the Ancient Insect’s body.”
“Understood.”
These drip bottles are wrapped with leaves from the Tree of Life, and the liquid inside is also manufactured by humans themselves. Once absorbed by the organism, it can greatly enhance life force.
Just for 10 tons of Delta Potion, that would cost 80 Spirit Essence, plus the expenses for Lu Yuan to fight resistance and transport Life Essence.
This medical service trip, with all the various expenses added up, doesn’t really earn much for humans, at most a thousand.
The Ancient Insect felt a magical warmth flowing from its limbs and throughout its body, its vitality slowly reviving.
This feeling, really long-lost, was just like being cured of a disease all at once.
The energy of Life Attribute, this New Myth does have some abilities.
[New Myth… your method is merely prolonging my life for now. Without curing the root cause, it’s not of much significance.]
“Stop talking nonsense, it’s not even started. Now it’s just to give you a bit of strength, brace yourself for what’s to come, prepare for a mental ordeal.”
The Ancient Insect had originally wanted to act high and mighty, to chat a bit, but seeing how volatile Lu Yuan’s temper was, it quickly reminded itself to “remain graceful,” “maintain dignity,” “this junior is a bit arrogant, will have to take leave later.”
Suddenly thinking of something, it asked: [Do you mean, I can flip back now? Lying upside down like this is not… comfortable.]
“If you have the strength, do as you please.”
With a loud rumble, the Ancient Insect flipped back over.
Its two long antennae, twitched slightly.
Phew…
That’s more comfortable.
Lu Yuan added, “If I can’t crawl out later, I’ll just randomly cut a hole to burrow out from your body.”
The Ancient Insect nearly spit out a mouthful of old blood, wouldn’t that be injuring me?
But it wouldn’t need to flip over again; later on, it could just prop itself up slightly with its legs, leave a crack for Lu Yuan to crawl out—that is, if after the surgery, it still has a smidgen of strength left.
After a while, the Little Mirage Dragon came back.
It transported a large amount of potion, blinking its big eyes while staring at the old sage who has gone through vicissitudes.
The old sage secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that it hadn’t seen itself with its belly up.
Only with those giant horns pointing upwards can one maintain the image of a sage.
[This Essence of Heaven and Earth is truly playful and cute, innocent and adorable, just a bit too weak.]
The Ancient Insect sighed softly and started to give advice like an old sage: [To become stronger, one must cultivate life and nurture temperament. But in this era, few walk the path of cultivation; they are all Spirit Devourers seeking quick success.]
[Back in the day, I also suffered a great deal to grow into…]
[Ah?]
“I’m starting now, bear with it.”
Lu Yuan took out a black potion and squeezed it hard to shatter it.
In an instant, the power from the Deformed Ghost, like a wolf spotting its prey, infiltrated the Ancient Insect’s biological tissues at a rapid speed.

The Ancient Insect sensed that cold and sticky power and was nearly scared out of its wits.
What are you doing?
But still, he mustered all his strength, stumbled through his words, and with a lightness as if speaking of trivial matters, he finished the sentence: “[Junior, I teach you a lesson. The most important thing in the world is endurance. No one can remain immortal, but one must not lose grace. Come on, pain!]”
The Little Mirage Dragon immediately felt an extreme admiration. This large insect was truly a perseverant mentor and a model worth learning from.
…
The pain that surged into the soul was intense to the extreme!
The Ancient Insect’s body started trembling.
One after another, monstrous tumors rapidly grew inside its body, and ironically, the recently infused life power became the perfect nourishment for the tumor’s growth!
At this moment, ordinary potions were no longer effective in maintaining its life; it required the Greedy Demon God himself to personally deliver a massive amount of Life Essence—indeed, most medical costs arise in this way. Old Lu might not profit, but he can’t run at a loss; roughly transmitting two thousand was his limit.
“What did you inject me with?” the Ancient Insect asked through gritted teeth.
“The power of another ‘Ghost,’ which can continuously repel ‘Withering Disease’… No more wasting words, hurry up and undergo a Devouring Evolution.”
“I will only infuse you with two thousand units of Spirit Essence. You’d better hurry up and activate your immune ability, otherwise, once the medical expenses are gone, don’t blame me for making a run for it,” Lu Yuan said mercilessly.
The Ancient Insect originally wanted to howl in misery, but in order to survive, it also demonstrated a strong-willed side.
Its blood circulation sped up rapidly; it had three hearts altogether, one in the abdominal cavity, one in the buttocks, and another on top of its head.
“Thump~ Thump~” The three hearts produced a strange resonance sound. The ability for Devouring Evolution was far more powerful than that of ordinary members of the Insect Race, and it even exhibited a touch of ancient rhythm.
Meanwhile, the power of the ‘Ghost’ also struck back immediately, but the emergence of the monstrous tumors engaged in massive warfare with the Withering Disease, with tumors continuously growing and rapidly withering.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, with the three powers intermingling.
Lu Yuan, as a doctor, also felt a trace of pressure—the consumption rate of Spirit Essence was faster than he anticipated—if indeed two thousand units of Spirit Essence were exhausted, whether he should make a run for it or not became a question.
As for the medical experts, they took this opportunity to transplant numerous “Anti-Mutant 1”.
Even for such an enormous body, implanting a thousand would not suffice.
And naturally, the Ancient Insect had its capabilities, acutely sensing the wonders of the “Anti-Mutant 1” organ amidst the excruciating pain.
This peculiar organ could slowly absorb the power of the Deformed Ghost—and it was a homologous type, an organ originating from the Insect Race. It quickly devoured one of them, and after understanding the principle, it began to slowly fertilize this kind of “Anti-Mutant 1.”
The progress of the surgery was smoother than expected. After almost two days and the expenditure of fifteen hundred Spirit Essence, the force of Withering was cornered into a small area.
With a faint “pop,” that entire patch of biological tissue fell off, emanating a dense black fog.
Lu Yuan quickly picked it up and placed it into a specially made glass bottle, then swiftly stashed the bottle into the Storage Space—this trophy was naturally his to keep.
The Ancient Insect’s body was now filled with tumors, its lifeforce ebbing away.
The power of Deformation entangled its body, and it could burst dead at any moment.
Lu Yuan infused it with a good amount of Life Essence, barely managing to save its life… This time he really didn’t earn much money, approximately just a modest profit of three hundred. Compared to such a high-risk surgery, that’s not too much.
What follows is patient recuperation, simply letting the “Anti-Mutant 1” absorb the remaining Deformation power.
As for the life power that has been drained over so many years… It could only recover slowly with time.
“Senior, can you heal yourself now?”
[No problem now.]
[New Myth, I owe you a favor.]
[Stay here for a while. Once I recover a bit, I have some matters to discuss with you.] It was extremely weak, not even able to raise its head, but the huge black horns shone brightly.
“No problem, I’ll take my leave then.” Lu Yuan picked up the Legendary Axe, awakened the medical team from the buds, and left the vast Altar Park.
The medical team was rubbing their hands together with great excitement. Earning 300 Spirit Essence was fantastic!
It also signified that their team added another splendid achievement to their record.
