Qin Shi wore no rings on her hands, no bracelets on her wrists, nor any gemstone necklaces around her neck.
"Could it be that it's not the Demon Spirit Gemstone causing trouble? Then there's real trouble." Li Xiu was not a doctor; if it was indeed some mysterious illness, he had no way to handle it.
At this point, there was nothing else to be done but to leave it to fate. Li Xiu reached out to turn over Qin Shi's clothes pocket, wanting to see if she had any gemstones on her.
Qin Shi was dressed in a patient's gown, with only two pockets in her jacket; a quick feel revealed nothing inside.
"It seems I can't be of any help here either." Li Xiu stood up preparing to leave when he suddenly noticed a backpack hanging next to the bed.
Li Xiu remembered having seen this backpack before; it seemed to have been with Qin Shi all the time, and she treasured it even more than the Phoenix Magic Armor, keeping it close even while sleeping.
