Chapter 1

Listen! True Mercury!

Listen! Chaoyang City Affiliated Municipal Hospital.

Listen! In the emergency room!

The crimson emergency light on the top of the door kept flashing, the glaring light making it hard to open one's eyes. On the other side of the door, the dense spiritual energy was so substantial that even with the door closed, it still unconsciously seeped out.

Seven doctors in white coats were doing their utmost to save the patient, but not with scalpels or forceps. Instead, they stood at key points of an array, forming a harmonious Yin-Yang Taiji pattern. Endless life force flowed through the array, merging into the body of the young man on the bed, who was covered in blood.

Sweat drenched the foreheads of the seven doctors, but they had no time to wipe it off...

The young man's face was pale, his breathing rapid, as if he were on the brink of death.

After a long while.

A nurse came forward to check the young man's injuries and exclaimed, "No good, the patient's heart rate has dropped below the danger line."

"Activate the powerful life support array immediately!"

The doctor standing at the head of the array, with his hands glowing with a faint white light, controlling the flow of the array, said without hesitation upon hearing the nurse's words.

"Yes!!!"

Several nurses quickly operated the instruments beside the young man, then placed their palms on a palm print indentation. As if something was being absorbed, a complex and profound small array diagram quickly appeared above the young man, emitting a faint white light, forming a film that enveloped him.

His originally rapid breathing gradually stabilized.

"The powerful life support array can only last for a while... His injuries are severe. To completely heal him... Forget it, for now, we can still support him. I'll go talk to his family."

Looking at the young man's pale face, the doctor sighed, indicating for the intern doctor behind him to take over his position. He removed his mask and walked out of the emergency room, looking exhausted.

Outside the emergency room.

The mother and daughter had been anxiously waiting for a long time.

Noticing that the doctor had finally come out, the older one hurriedly approached. Her originally pleasant voice had become hoarse from staying up all night. She asked worriedly, "Doctor Chu, how is my son? Has he come out of danger?"

Doctor Chu sighed and asked, "Are you the mother of the patient, Su Xian, Yang Wanhuai?"

"Yes... I am Su Xian's mother, Yang Wanhuai! Doctor, how is my son?"

Doctor Chu glanced at Yang Wanhuai. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, and it didn't seem like she came from a wealthy family.

He said, "Your son's condition is not optimistic. The attacker seemed to have acted with malice, using ice poison spiritual energy to injure his essence. To completely heal him, we would need to use at least a level 7 healing spell! As a student of Chaoyang High School, your son has an agreement with our school, which can cover over 90% of the costs. However, even with that, the remaining cost is still at least 100,000 star coins... This is not a small amount, so I must get your consent, Mrs. Yang. Do you want to continue the treatment?"

Yang Wanhuai's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she exclaimed, "100,000... 100,000?"

She stood there in shock, then fell to the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her cheeks. She covered her face and murmured, "But... I only have 10,000 star coins, which I've saved up over the years... Where can I find the remaining 90,000?"

"If it were a smaller amount, our hospital could advance the payment, but 100,000 is too much for us to handle..."

Doctor Chu took out a towel and gently wiped his sweaty forehead, sighing. He could see that this family... only had these three people. The young man on the bed was probably the only male in the family.

They say money is just an external thing... but sometimes, money is life!

Sometimes, even giving up one's life can't buy it.

Even though he had seen many life and death situations, he still felt a pang of sympathy. Doctor Chu put on his glasses, looked away, and said, "Currently, we have activated the spirit trapping array, the powerful life support array, and the spirit gathering array. However, the hospital director specifically mentioned that, for Miss Su Tao's sake, these costs can be waived... but the level 7 spirit card is too expensive... Do you think you can find a way to cover the cost?"

"I... I don't know what to do... I... Su Xian... my poor Su Xian..."

Yang Wanhuai sat on the ground, covering her face and sobbing, "I'm just a part-time worker... I only earn 2,000 star coins a month... Even if I sold my life, I couldn't come up with 100,000..."

"Then, do you know who the attacker is? If you do, you could report it... maybe you could get compensation..."

"But we don't know who the attacker is. When we received the call, Su Xian was already like this."

Yang Wanhuai cried even harder.

"Mom, don't cry... We... haven't reached the end yet..."

Beside Yang Wanhuai, a pretty girl of about 15 or 16, Su Tao, helped her up. After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lip and said, "Mom, don't I still have 100,000 star coins? Let's use that 100,000 first!"

Yang Wanhuai's face changed, and she exclaimed, "But... that's the tuition for your scholarship to Tianzhu College! It's the school's sponsorship for you. Where will we get the money for your tuition now?"

"Healing is the priority... As for school..."

Su Tao paused and said firmly, "There's still half a year left. I'll find a way!"

"Tao Tao, I'm sorry to you..."

Find a way? What way?

Your daughter is trading her future for your son's life...

Yang Wanhuai was already sobbing uncontrollably.

………………………………………………

A level 7 spirit card contains a level 7 supreme spell... If it's an offensive spell, its power can move mountains and seas, and if it's a healing spell, it can bring the dead back to life.

As the gentle light points gradually entered Su Xian's body.

His body, which had been pierced by ice poison, regained vitality. Even the severed tendons and muscles reconnected, and the true essence began to flow!

Su Xian soon woke up.

However, his face still looked somewhat dazed... It seemed he couldn't accept that he had just been on the brink of death.

After all, he was a young man, and in their world, there was no concept of life and death.

The doctor didn't take it seriously.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.

"In any case, it's a good thing you're still alive. The power of the level 7 spirit card is very strong. Not only did it heal your injuries, but it also greatly improved your physical condition... It can be considered a blessing in disguise. However, your mother and sister really went through a lot for you, especially your sister. In the future, you should repay her."

Su Xian's attending doctor, Chu Xu, sighed softly and looked at Su Xian, who was staring blankly out the window. He said, "Are you bored? Why don't you watch some TV? You'll be discharged soon anyway."

Saying this, he said, "Turn on the TV."

"Yes, Mr. Chu!"

A mechanical sound came from his wrist.

Then, the black bracelet on his wrist glowed, and a huge floating projection window appeared in front of Su Xian.

Su Xian's eyes, which had been vacant, finally showed some life, but he didn't look at the vivid and almost 3D-like images that were right in front of him. Instead, he glanced at the black bracelet on Chu Xu's wrist...

And on his wrist, he also had the same bracelet.

"Rest well. Your mother and sister are packing up. They'll come to pick you up soon. Don't worry, since we used a level 7 spirit card, you don't need to stay in the hospital anymore..."

Saying this, Chu Xu left the room and closed the door.

The room was left with only Su Xian.

Su Xian stared blankly at the huge floating window in front of him, as if he were right there.

Suddenly...

A loud boom echoed.

Countless ribbons flew!

Dozens of flying swords, each with different colored lights, rose from the ground, trailing long, brilliant tails, like jet planes, circling and dancing in the sky, crossing and forming beautiful patterns!

Along the way, they passed by the spaceships floating high in the sky.

Below...

Skyscrapers stood tall, and occasionally, floating boats passed by in the air, filled with spectators cheering loudly!

A commentator was rapidly introducing the race, and although there was no amplification device, his words sounded like thunder, resonating in everyone's hearts.

Many people stood high in the sky, shouting encouragement.

It seemed... they were holding a flying sword speed race?

Although he was in his late twenties, even though he was now back to the age of his youth, his mentality was much stronger than that of a young person. Two days of being awake was enough for Su Xian to understand everything.

He had traveled through time...

Being an orphan with no ties, no relatives, and no home, moving wherever he went, traveling to another world didn't seem too surprising. It was like taking a spontaneous trip.

But the world he had traveled to...

Su Xian sighed deeply, a strange expression appearing on his face. He muttered to himself, "I dare say, among the countless people who have traveled through time, the one who has traveled to such a bizarre world as mine is absolutely unique."

Saying this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time!
