Ling Zhenfei explained Mr. Su's condition to the leaders again, but since they were outsiders, his explanation was very general.

However, Ling Zhenfei explained it very well. As long as the cause of the illness was identified, with the right medication and good rest, recovery was possible.

The leader was very pleased after listening, shook Ling Zhenfei's hand and said many words that deeply moved Ling Zhenfei.

After the leader left, Ling Zhenfei treated Old Master Su once more. Although the bugs were gone, the meridians damaged by the bites still needed treatment.

With Ling Zhenfei's efforts, it only took one morning to completely cure Old Master Su. After taking Ling Zhenfei's elixir, he also felt much better mentally and even wanted to speak at times.

Ling Zhenfei advised Old Master Su not to rush to speak and to rest well. Old Master Su was very obedient and indeed refrained from speaking, resting well.

Su Yuwei has been by Old Master Su's side taking care of him. Although not biologically related, she is just like family, even closer than true kin.

Seeing this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel happy for Old Master Su. Having an adopted daughter as good as her is truly the result of good fortune and divine blessing.

With nothing much left to do, Ling Zhenfei thought about leaving the next day, as Old Master Su would probably be able to speak by then.

Since he was already in the Capital City, Ling Zhenfei wanted to connect with friends in the city, like Chu He and Li Ru, but then realized his phone had no signal here, likely due to signals being blocked.

It must be truly boring here, working in such a place is not easy, especially spending the New Year in such a remote location.

As Ling Zhenfei pondered this, he suddenly noticed Su Yuwei walking toward him and sitting down in front of him.

They were sitting on a stone bench in a small courtyard. The view here was quite good; looking afar, you could see the surrounding mountains and the air was nice.

"Feeling really bored, aren't you?" Su Yuwei must have noticed Ling Zhenfei's boredom and asked.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yeah, even the phone doesn't have a signal, life here is really tough."

Su Yuwei said, "There's no signal here indeed, but you can use a landline if you want to make calls without disruptions, just enjoy the peaceful time."

She said so, but Ling Zhenfei wasn't someone who could sit idle.

"The security here should be strengthened, it seems tight but lacks experts. What if someone wants to assassinate Old Master Su?"

Su Yuwei said, "Don't worry, while it seems there are no experts here, it's all high-tech. Unless there's someone using Earth Escape Technique, it's impossible to get in."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit surprised as Su Yuwei seemed very confident, yet it was unclear why she was so sure.

Since Su Yuwei put it that way, Ling Zhenfei had nothing to add, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "But it's really boring here, mind if I visit some friends?"

Su Yuwei replied, "Of course you can, but it's quite far from the city. It might not be quick to return, as there are few cars in the city now, making commutes inconvenient."

Ling Zhenfei felt very frustrated, not expecting to end up in such a remote place after arriving in the Capital City.

At this moment, Su Yuwei said, "But I'm closer to the Great Wall here. How about I take you to visit the Great Wall?"

Ling Zhenfei was caught off guard; he never thought he would get to the Great Wall. He hadn't been there before, so he readily agreed.

Su Yuwei drove her car, and as they chatted, they arrived at the foot of the Great Wall.

The endless Great Wall lay before Ling Zhenfei, leaving him somewhat in awe. They got out of the car and walked up beside a broad section of the wall.

Despite some remaining snow, the Great Wall looked very beautiful. The distant mountains were shrouded in white, with the black and white intermingling, sparking an overwhelming sense of awe and tranquility within him.

As Ling Zhenfei was enjoying the time with Su Yuwei, the long-awaited sound of his phone startled him.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, especially seeing the phone number—startled at receiving a call from someone at Lin's Group.

He hadn't been in touch with Lin's Group for a long time. Although he had a good relationship with them before, following Elder Lin's passing and Lin Yuluo's travels, Ling Zhenfei had no connection with Lin's Group.

Sometimes he'd make a few calls, but he wasn't familiar with them. It was merely maintaining a forced connection, so Ling Zhenfei didn't answer the phone.

He continued climbing the Great Wall with Su Yuwei, who said she wanted to climb to the highest watchtower over there.

Ling Zhenfei said, "As the saying goes, 'One mountain higher than another,' maybe once we reach that watchtower, it will seem lower than the one we're at now."

But Su Yuwei was determined to go over, so Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to follow her.

Both had Northern Spiritual Energy within them, so they climbed swiftly, even faster than some fitness enthusiasts.

Su Yuwei looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You cultivate Spiritual Energy, and so do I. I came across it by chance, but why do you cultivate it? Who taught you?"

Ling Zhenfei paused for a moment, recalling his cultivation of Spiritual Energy, which began from a special experience when he was young.

Back when Xishan Manor was dark, Ling Zhenfei claimed that his Medical Arts were taught by an old man from Xianling Mountain. In reality, he was referring to the cultivation of Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy practice was indeed taught by an old man in Xianling Mountain, who seemed to be at least eighty or ninety years old, with a full head of white hair and beard.

Not only Ling Zhenfei, but a few other children also encountered the elder back then. The elder imparted the cultivation method to them, but only Ling Zhenfei persisted in practicing.

The cultivation was incredibly tough back then. Ling Zhenfei carefully memorized the Cultivating Technique and practiced diligently every night. It took about a year just to begin sensing the presence of Spiritual Energy.

It was this persistence of Zhenfei that laid a solid foundation for his Spiritual Energy. Other children couldn't have stuck with it.

Upon reflection, it's true—of the children who learned Spiritual Energy with Ling Zhenfei, only he ended up in a better position.

Xianling Mountain is indeed a treasure trove. The elderly man with the white hair might be an immortal cultivator residing within Xianling Mountain. To ordinary people, such individuals are essentially like Immortals.

Ling Zhenfei shared his story with Su Yuwei, but before he could finish, his phone rang again.

He checked his phone, and this time, Xiao Yaqing was calling.

Ling Zhenfei was very surprised. Could it be that Xiao Yaqing was calling to wish him a Happy New Year? But he doubted that was the case.

Ling Zhenfei quickly answered the call, hearing Xiao Yaqing's anxious voice on the other end.
