Seeing that Zhou Yun had no choice but to agree to Ling Zhenfei's insistence, she could only agree.

"Sister-in-law, you really needn't worry. It's only been a few days, and we've already made so much money before. Even if we don't sell for a year, there's no need for concern. My ornamental fish business can also make money. It's a good opportunity for you to relax. Let Brother Er Meng build a few more greenhouses. Trust me, it won't be long before those restaurants will be begging to buy our vegetables."

"Alright then, but don't stay away all the time. Visit Ling Xiu more often and don't neglect her."

In Zhou Yun's heart, she had already considered He Lingxiu as her future sister-in-law, which is why she reminded Ling Zhenfei.

"I understand, sister-in-law."

And so, several days passed. Every morning he would go to give Qiu Qing acupuncture treatments. In the afternoons, he would head over to the ornamental fish base to help Fatty with the busy work.

The small fish at the ornamental fish base gradually grew up. Because of their good species, they grew very beautiful, each one attracting attention.

Fatty had long since spread the word and had also made some online promotions. These past few days, there were always businesses visiting to see the fish, some even signing contracts on the spot, just waiting for the right moment to have the fish delivered.

The profit margin for ornamental fish was incredibly high. Both Ling Zhenfei and Fatty were counting on these fish to make a fortune. Fatty was so happy every day that he couldn't close his mouth. Once these fish were sold, he would make more money than from his restaurants.

Zhou Yun also brought good news. Two restaurants had already resumed their vegetable supply from Xishan Manor. It was clear that without the delicious vegetables from Xishan Manor, the taste of their dishes was hugely compromised. Some customers even said that if they couldn't eat the original taste, they wouldn't come back again.

Ling Zhenfei had already anticipated this situation, which is why he was so confident. As long as the online public opinion dissipated, he believed the vegetables from their manor would be even more popular than before.

In the evenings, he would enter the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow to cultivate. The immense Spiritual Power inside was virtually inexhaustible. He even felt that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Zhiyi Boundary. At that time, he had no idea what astonishing changes might occur.

Early in the morning, he arrived at Old Master Qiu's household to provide Qiu Qing with acupuncture. The reason for switching the treatments to the morning was because treating in the morning is a tradition in traditional Chinese medicine, which advocates that treatments should not be carried out after midday. However, many modern practitioners have forgotten this tradition.

Traditional Chinese medicine states that the energy is most abundant in the morning. This 'energy' refers to Spiritual Energy. Ling Zhenfei could sense it. Before he would not choose specific times for treatments, because his own Spiritual Power supported him. Now, thinking back, it was simply a waste of Spiritual Power.

Another more important reason was that he found early morning treatments to be less disrupted by unrelated people, especially Qiu Yun and Jin Zhi. Without these two, it was much easier for him.

Unexpectedly, the couple, Qiu Yun and Jin Zhi, who usually struggled to wake up in the mornings, had got up early and seemed to be waiting in the yard intentionally for him.

Ling Zhenfei didn't care much about ignoring the two and went directly to Qiu Qing's house. Qiu Qian, knowing Ling Zhenfei's habits, had already been waiting for him early. What was different today though, was that there was another person next to him—a woman who appeared to be in her forties. Despite her age, she didn't look it all and seemed to be in her thirties, very well-maintained.

From her appearance, she was definitely a beautiful woman, bearing some resemblance to Qiu Qian. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, she smiled warmly—a smile that could captivate any city.

Ling Zhenfei was good at reading people. Although the woman appeared amiable, there was a decisiveness in her brow that suggested she was very strong-willed, at least very intelligent inside. He absolutely could not see through her.

Qiu Qian came up and took Ling Zhenfei's arm, then introduced the woman to him, "Divine Doctor Brother, this is my mother. She heard about you treating my father's legs and rushed over from out of town."

As Ling Zhenfei had guessed, the woman was indeed Qiu Qian's mother. No wonder Qiu Qian was so beautiful—it was a result of good genes.

"Hello Mr. Ling, I am Qiu Qian's mother, He Yun."

Speaking, she extended her delicate hand towards Zhenfei, who hastened to grasp it lightly in response.

"Good day, Madam, I will certainly give Mr. Qiu the best treatment possible."

"But what about Qiu Qing's legs? It's been ten years, can they still be healed?"

"Mr. Qiu's condition is very serious, but after several days of acupuncture treatment, there has been significant improvement. I believe there will be effective results soon, please grant me a bit more time, Madam."

"Please, Sir, do not say such things. Whether or not you can cure Qiu Qing's ailment, our family is extremely grateful to you."

After the formalities, Zhenfei finally entered the room to treat Qiu Qing. It was a critical moment that day, and Zhenfei was very careful. As he administered the needles, his powerful spiritual power infused the silver needles. Although it looked as if Zhenfei were using the silver needles to help with recovery, it was more like he was using his own spiritual power to nourish Qiu Qing's damaged meridians.

The treatment went on for an exceptionally long time, and it wasn't until after more than three hours that Zhenfei finally stopped, but the silver needles on Qiu Qing's legs were not yet removed.

"Qiu Qian, I'm really hungry. Could you just fix me something for breakfast? Leftovers from the morning would do."

Indeed, the reason Zhenfei stopped was because he was too hungry. The treatment was incredibly draining, not just physically, but mentally as well, because intense concentration was necessary. Now he needed a break to eat and rest a bit.

Qiu Qian had actually prepared breakfast long before, and she quickly heated it up for Zhenfei and brought it to him.

Maybe because today's treatment had taken so long, as soon as it stopped, many people came to see Qiu Qing. In a short while, the room was already full of visitors.

"How is Second Brother feeling? Is there any sensation?"

Qiu Yun visited Qiu Qing every day asking after his condition. It was unclear whether he was genuinely concerned as he appeared or if he was just waiting to mock Zhenfei.

"I still can't feel anything."

Qiu Qing shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment on his face.

"I've always told you, that kid is a fraud, but you just wouldn't listen."

Qiu Yun was always full of schemes and his words were particularly infuriating; he would say anything, no matter how slanderous.

"Younger Brother, if you call Little Brother Ling a fraud, then tell me, what has he swindled from us? Until now, he hasn't asked for a penny and has even purchased quite a lot of medicinal herbs. How can you say that he has swindled us?"

Qiu Feng was quite displeased to hear what his younger brother said, feeling that speaking in this manner was an outright offense to Zhenfei.

While eating breakfast, Zhenfei was listening and seething inside. If it weren't for Qiu Qian and Old Master Qiu, he really couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters.

"Big Brother, you're just naïve. Do you think fraud is only about money? True, he hasn't taken our money, but I think the payment has been in kind. Look at Qiu Qian, she's practically throwing herself at him. He's not after our money, but a person."
