"Sister, don't cry anymore. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that just now."

Li Ru shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. You spoke the truth. It's just that I feel my life has been too miserable. I haven't had anyone who truly cares about me all these years. What meaning does my life even have?"

This made Ling Zhenfei even more unsure of how to comfort her. "Don't say that, sister. You will definitely find someone who cherishes you."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned at that moment. The way Li Ru said it was too obvious. For such an elegant woman to say such words, it nearly made Ling Zhenfei lose his composure.

"Then, please let brother treat sister!"

"Zhenfei, I'm sorry. Will you look down on your sister?" Li Ru said self-reproachfully by Ling Zhenfei's side.

"Sister, don't say nonsense. If anyone should apologize, it's me."

Li Ru kissed Ling Zhenfei's ear and said, "I want to thank you. I think I'm falling in love with you."

"As long as it doesn't make sister uncomfortable, it's all my honor," Ling Zhenfei said, also a bit moved.

"I really regret, why did I have to be born more than a decade before you? If I were your age, I would definitely pursue you vigorously and be with you for a lifetime," Li Ru said somewhat wistfully.

"Sister is still very beautiful. You don't know how many people would fall at your feet," Ling Zhenfei honestly said. Li Ru indeed was a very charming woman.

"Alright, stop comforting me. However, having the memory of tonight, I can say that I haven't lived in vain."

The next morning, Ling Zhenfei got out of bed early, but Li Ru was still deep in sleep.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he was held back by Li Ru's hand, "Are you leaving?"

Li Ru had already woken up. Ling Zhenfei turned around and said, "Yes, I have to go treat Si Mayang, today is critical."

Li Ru said with reluctance, "Will you despise your sister? Can I see you again?" At that moment, Li Ru no longer had the aura of a commanding businesswoman but instead looked like a woman full of melancholy.

Ling Zhenfei gently kissed Li Ru's hand and said, "Why would I ever despise you, sister? We will definitely meet again. I will miss you."

Li Ru finally released Ling Zhenfei's hand. After bidding each other farewell, Ling Zhenfei left Li Ru's house, then took a taxi to Si Mayang's residence.

Because it was mentioned yesterday that the treatment would be early this morning, the Si Mayang's household was already prepared.

"Divine Doctor Ling, you've finally arrived. We were so worried about you since you didn't come home last night," the butler came out to greet him, clearly anxious.

Ling Zhenfei himself hadn't expected that what was initially a simple dinner with Li Ru would turn into what it did.

"It's fine. I stayed at a friend's house. Let's not waste time and start immediately."

Ling Zhenfei said this as he walked into the treatment room. Si Mayang was already prepared.

This room was set up exactly like a hospital ward, which made one wonder if Si Mayang had never left it.

Ling Zhenfei once again helped Si Mayang with the acupuncture, using his Northern Spiritual Energy to nourish the damaged meridians just as before, but this time it was different because they had used the crushed petals of the Seven-Colored Flower, which had begun to show changes.

Ling Zhenfei distinctly felt the meridians of Si Mayang showing signs of revival, which was a very good signal.

After finishing with the Silver Needle, Ling Zhenfei paused his actions, called the butler over, and wrote a new prescription, this time including two petals of the Seven-Colored Flower.

The butler immediately sent people to prepare it, and they began boiling the medicine, not daring to make any mistakes.

Si Mayang was temperamental by nature due to his castration. If there were any mishaps, his anger would be fierce; thus, everyone involved took great care in their duties.

During this period, Ling Zhenfei was not idle, continuously channeling Northern Spiritual Energy into the Silver Needle to moisten Si Mayang's meridians and consolidate the previous day's progress.

The Seven-Colored Flower was indeed miraculous; even severe necrosis like Si Mayang's could be effectively treated with Divine Medicine. In combination with Ling Zhenfei's Spiritual Power, there was hope to restore Si Mayang, but the extent of recovery was uncertain, and they could only take it one step at a time.

About an hour later, the herbal medicine was finally ready, and Ling Zhenfei personally fed it to Si Mayang.

Taking advantage of this time, Ling Zhenfei recalled another topical prescription, wrote it down, and handed it to the butler for preparation. This prescription was not for boiling but for grinding into a powder to be applied directly to the wounds.

After treating Si Mayang with the Seven-Colored Flower in the herbal medicine, the nerves below Si Mayang had miraculously revived and regained vitality.

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased, as this progress indicated that Si Mayang's condition could definitely be cured, though the final outcome would depend on the future treatment results.

Soon, the topical herbal medicine arrived. After processing it, Ling Zhenfei applied it to Si Mayang's privates. This topical application also contained a petal of the Seven-Colored Flower, meaning it was treating both internally and externally. Surely, recovery would be faster.

After handling all this, it was already noon. After dining at the Sima Family mansion, Ling Zhenfei found a secluded room to engage in cultivation, replenishing his physical strength and Spiritual Power, while also considering his next actions.

Of all his memories of Capital City, Lu Huanong stood out the most to Ling Zhenfei — Chen Qian's junior, a girl who resembled a fairy. He was set to assist in her treatment, which was notably challenging due to her unique condition.

Helping Lu Huanong extend her life was tantamount to defying heaven, as meddling too much with fate could lead to divine retribution. The possibility of success was slim, but no matter how slim the probability, as long as there was a chance, he wouldn't give up.

However, making the life-extending pill required Rejuvenation Grass, which even his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow did not contain, so he would have to strive to find it.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ling Zhenfei went alone to the Sima Family's Treasure Pavilion, which was now open only to him. He could freely enter and leave the Treasure Pavilion.

Today, Ling Zhenfei's purpose here was to look for anything that might have been overlooked last time, but after searching, he still found nothing.

Ling Zhenfei also spotted an Elixir Recipe above the Pill Furnace. Among them was a genuine recipe — the Nine Revolutions Soul Restoration Pill. With nothing pressing, he decided to try making it.

Since the Treasure Pavilion was stocked with so many herbs, it would be a waste not to use them.

But of course, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't use a Pill Furnace from the Treasure Pavilion for Alchemy. Although these Pill Furnaces were real, none could compare to his Phoenix Elixir Furnace.

Ling Zhenfei took out the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, and with just a slight infusion of Spiritual Power, the Phoenix Elixir Furnace floated in the air. As Ling Zhenfei increased his Spiritual Power, phoenix fire spewed from underneath the Elixir Furnace.
