Chapter 244 Holy Ashes

Faced with Reshiram's questioning, Zhou You was not at all confused.

"No dead thing can compare to a living life. You don't need to think too much about helping others within your ability."

"Taoism is always inaction, but it can do everything. Birth, aging, sickness and death, the law of the jungle, and the survival of the fittest are natural laws. Every minute and every second in the world, people or elves die for various reasons. If nothing unexpected happens, I don't intend to change anything, but it's really not worth it to die because of bad luck and genetic collapse caused by human experiments."

Besides, the Phoenix King sheds hair all day long, and it has never been seen as bald as a toucan. The rainbow feathers are obviously renewable resources, which are not so precious compared to life.

Reshiram did not comment on Zhou You's views.

After a while, Joey hurried back to the hall again and took Zhou You to the inside of the Pokémon Center.

Seeing that things were turning around, the handsome guy hurriedly followed, intending to witness the end of the experiment until the end.

Soon, Zhou You came to the room where the patients were placed in the Pokémon Center.

Dratini, Yukira, Scyther, Kairos, Casey, Vulpix, Seahorse, Eevee, Lapras, each of which is extremely rare, now fills the entire centralized ward. At a glance, there are about forty or fifty elves, each of which is lying on the bed with a dull look, motionless and dull eyes.

He did not make any mistakes, but just because of bad luck, he suffered and fell into suffering like a zombie, counting the days and waiting for death.

It sounds funny, but life is full of similar helplessness, elves are like this, so are people.

But Zhou You feels that he should be able to do something now.

"Are all of them here? Have any elves died during this period?" Zhou You confirmed again and again, "Considering the legends in the Johto region, I think we can try even the dead elves."

The Phoenix King once resurrected three elves that died due to lightning hitting the scorched tower, and gave them the three powers of lightning that attacked the tower, fire that burned the tower, and water representing rain. This is a well-documented historical fact.

Joey shook his head and said seriously: "All are here, and we have been working hard to treat them."

After confirming it, Zhou You took out the rainbow feather from his arms again.

In an instant, the dazzling rainbow light bloomed in front of everyone.

But it seems that nothing special happened.

"Woof?" Leftovers tilted his head in confusion. Didn't it automatically take effect to dispel Darko's moves when he used it before?

Joey, the handsome guy, the nurse and Jigglypuff couldn't help but show lonely eyes when they saw this.

Sure enough, it was just a legend. A feather can bring the dead back to life. How could such a miracle happen?

Zhou You frowned, thinking.

In the movie, how did Xiaozhi come back to life?

It seems that he was beaten to ashes by a group of elves, and only the hat remained in the world.

It seems that this cannot be reproduced?

But if it is in the game, the rainbow feather itself has no effect. The item that can simultaneously remove the dying and abnormalities of all elves and restore all HP and PP should be the holy ash.

Thinking of this, Zhou You consciously injected his flame into the rainbow feather of the Phoenix King.

The feathers, which were already colorful, suddenly became more brilliant!

"There is movement!?" Joey said in surprise.

Using the rainbow feathers with the power of the Phoenix King as a medium, the endless life fire is transformed into a magnificent life energy, which turns into a warm light to illuminate the people and elves in the room.

Under the comfort of the light of life, the elves who had been devastated by genetic experiments felt the warmth for the first time in their lives. The life energy that flowed into their bodies took root and sprouted like a seed, slowly releasing vitality to make up for the already dilapidated body and genes...

The fire was fleeting, and after a moment, the rainbow feather burned out, leaving only a palm-sized white crystal.

"So that's it, that's what happened." Feeling the rapidly fading vitality in his body, Zhou You suddenly realized.

The life energy that a rainbow feather can bear is limited, and even the Phoenix King cannot pour vitality into it without limit.

The rainbow feather is just a medium.

If you want to treat more people or elves, you have to pay your own vitality... or lifespan/life.

By distributing your vitality to others in the most gentle way through the fire, of course, no matter what kind of injuries or diseases, they can be quickly healed.

And the white crystal emitting rainbow light that fell into his hand after the rainbow feather burned out is a highly compressed and pure crystal of life energy!

Then the question is, where did the excess vitality of him and the Phoenix King, which had already exceeded the limit of their bodies, come from... Zhou You has never figured this out. The fire of life must have a fuel, right?

Anyway.

"This white crystal should be the legendary holy ash." Zhou You paused and changed his words, "Maybe it is more appropriate to call it holy carbon? Grind it into powder and give it to these elves... It may also be applied externally, anyway, try both methods."

Just as the result of uncontrolled self-replication of somatic cells is cancer, anything in excess is harmful to the body.

To be safe, Zhou You and Joey chose to grind the crystal into powder and use it bit by bit.

After Zhou You spent a lot of his life force to grind the crystal, he only filled a 500ml bottle.

After a busy afternoon, they were surprised to find that the holy ash ground into powder could be absorbed by the elves directly. About 1ml was enough for the dying elves to repair their genes, restore their health, and move as usual.

37 dying elves and 11 barely alive elves all recovered their health like a miracle!

Including Zhou You, everyone present was shocked by the effect of the holy ash.

The crystallization of vitality of 500 people/elves...

Just with the power of the rainbow feather, it can be achieved to this extent. You can imagine how shocked the people of Yuanzhu City were when they saw the three elves resurrected by the Phoenix King...

"Qiao Qiao, thank you!" Although he had long since become indifferent to the life and death of elves, Joey in Yuhong City was still crying with joy at this moment, "I was really about to be overwhelmed by guilt in the past two months. I never thought that they would recover one day!"

Zhou You also sighed with relief: "Just in case, you should do a comprehensive physical examination and observe for a while. You are also very busy, so I won't bother you for now."

After that, he took back the holy ash... leaving 52ml for the elf center in Yuhong City just in case, and then returned to the hall with the handsome guy.

On the way out, the handsome guy's steps were unusually brisk, and he was obviously relieved because he risked his life to go undercover in the evil organization and finally ushered in a relatively satisfactory result.

But both Zhou You and the handsome guy understood that this incident was not really over yet, and the real culprits behind it were still at large.
