While everyone was working hard, Mira took a short break from extracting Blood Essences to ask Aelina about Seraphina.
"Seraphina, huh…" Aelina murmured, "She's… doing better, but she was in really bad condition when you returned. Almost every bone in her body was broken, her meridians were overworked beyond their max potential, and she had lost vast amounts of vitality. I'm afraid she's even lost a portion of her lifespan. If it weren't for the help of the Elders, our healing pills, and her will to live, she would've died. Though, she's pretty much half-crippled now."
"Is fixing one's meridians that much of a pain in the ass?"
Aelina nodded seriously, "It's not just a pain. It's similar to trying to repair someone's brain. You'd need a miracle medicine to fix them."
"Hmmmm." Mira fell deep into thought.
