The three ninjas also reacted swiftly, and Akiramari immediately responded, bending down to grab the black cloth in his hands and began swinging it powerfully, turning it into a circle in front of him.

The black cloth, like a large wall, blocked all the cow hair fine needles shot from the Storm Mixed Yuan Pearl.

But the swinging black cloth also obstructed their view; at the very moment he was waving the black cloth, Ling Zhenfei made his move. He threw three consecutive punches with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, sending Northern Spiritual Energy through the black cloth towards the three people behind it.

Bang!

A muffled sound—Ling Zhenfei clearly felt his fist hit someone, and that person was sent flying by his powerful Spiritual Power.

From behind the black cloth came low cries—Ling Zhenfei knew someone must have been injured. If not now, then when? He had just thrown the fourth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, and without hesitation, he delivered the fifth punch.

Bang!

The fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists was the Earth-Splitting Fist; this punch contained extremely powerful Northern Spiritual Energy, far more powerful than the fourth punch, and it struck the black cloth, feeling as though it hit a solid object.

The piece of black cloth in the air was directly sent flying, like a sack filled with items being thrown.

With the black cloth no longer obstructing their view, the three Japanese ninjas were fully exposed, panic evident in their eyes; clearly, they hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei's strength to be so formidable. But by now, it was too late for them to hide.

One of them, hit by the fourth punch of Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists just moments earlier, now lay on the ground, bleeding from the mouth, obviously severely injured.

The fifth punch from Ling Zhenfei was even more powerful. While Akiramari was inwardly shocked, his reactions were swift; he quickly grabbed the severely injured comrade, using him as a shield between himself and another person.

Bang!

Ling Zhenfei's potent Spiritual Power struck the man's body, but it provided Akiramari and the other ninja with a chance to escape.

With a wave of their hands, another smoke bomb exploded, enveloping the three figures within it. By the time Ling Zhenfei charged through, there was no sign of them.

They had vanished, but Ling Zhenfei was certain they were now two living beings and a dead one.

Hit consecutively by the fourth and fifth punches of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, it was impossible for anyone to have survived, a fact Ling Zhenfei was utterly confident about.

After the three Japanese ninjas fled, Ling Zhenfei quickly hastened his steps towards the Sima Family's residence. The guards at the door of course recognized Ling Zhenfei, so they did not stop him and let him enter.

Si Mayang had already arranged a place for him to stay, but Ling Zhenfei did not go back. Instead, he headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion.

Upon entering the Treasure Pavilion, Ling Zhenfei quickly sat down on the ground to regulate his breathing. The fierce battle had taken a severe toll on him, most critically, he had been struck in the chest by a covert weapon from a Japanese ninja before the battle.

Though the weapon had only slightly nicked Ling Zhenfei's skin, the toxin on it hadn't been completely removed, and after such a battle, the poison had penetrated into Ling Zhenfei's body.

Ling Zhenfei used his own Spiritual Power to forcibly confine the poison to a part of his body and then expelled all the toxins through bloodletting. Having done all this, Ling Zhenfei finally felt relieved.

Having been unsettled by the previous poisoning incident, Ling Zhenfei truly understood the terror of being poisoned. Seeing the abundance of Spiritual Medicine inside the Treasure Pavilion, he decisively made a batch of Detoxification Pills.

These Detoxification Pills were not very difficult to make. As long as one had enough ingredients, any ordinary Alchemist could produce a significant amount. The only difficult part was gathering the detoxifying medicinal ingredients from various rare and precious herbs.

Luckily, the ingredients in Si Mayang's Treasure Pavilion were plentiful, which made the production process simpler for Ling Zhenfei.

After placing the Detoxification Pills into a small bottle and noting that it was still early, Ling Zhenfei planned to make some other elixirs and thought of Lu Huanong.

Lu Huanong's body was extremely weak, suffering greatly from divine chastisement due to revealing the secrets of the heavens, and without a life-extending pill, Ling Zhenfei did not know what to do.

The Rejuvenation Grass needed for the life-extending pill was incredibly rare, and it might have been completely extinct. Finding it would depend on luck.

One should not cling to a single hope; since he couldn't make a life-extending pill, couldn't he make some other substitute?

Ling Zhenfei racked his brain to think of which elixir could potentially improve Lu Huanong's condition and finally thought of one that might work.

The elixir was the Longevity Pill, considered a nutritional supplement that regulated the body's balance of Yin and Yang. Consumed over a long period, it could extend one's life.

In traditional Chinese medicine, all theories aim to treat by maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang. For instance, if someone fell ill, it was certainly due to an imbalance in certain aspects. If you are overheated, you take medicine to reduce the heat and bring it back to its normal level.

If a part of the body fell ill, as long as you treated the imbalance and achieved Yin-Yang harmony, the illness could improve.

It's like a car veering to the left; to get it back on a straight path, you need to steer it slightly to the right. Most theories in traditional Chinese medicine follow this rationale.

Thus, Ling Zhenfei felt that Lu Huanong's condition must be due to an imbalance of Yin and Yang within her body, so consuming the Longevity Pill might bring her back to a state of harmony.

After checking the available ingredients in the Treasure Pavilion and finding the missing ones in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, Ling Zhenfei prepared the ingredients and began crafting the Longevity Pill.

The Longevity Pill was a long-term medication and thus not very difficult to produce. With the help of the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, he easily crafted a batch of elixirs.

The pills were very small, each only the size of a bean, and he produced several hundred in one batch, but Ling Zhenfei knew they contained substantial Northern Spiritual Energy and should be effective.

After placing all the Longevity Pills into a bottle and packing them away, Ling Zhenfei lay down on a specially prepared single bed, and his Divine Sense entered the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow to begin his cultivation.

In the face of surrounding dangers, only by advancing his Soul Passage cultivation could he acquire more means to preserve his life.

The next morning, Ling Zhenfei got up very early, but the Sima Family members got up even earlier and had already begun preparing for today's treatment.

The most crucial matter for the Sima Family now was Si Mayang's treatment. Si Mayang had already declared that if his illness could be cured, everyone in the Sima Family would be rewarded, which is why they were so tirelessly happy in their efforts.

Getting up early to work, they were not only uncomplaining but each one was also exceptionally spirited, and they greeted Ling Zhenfei with great enthusiasm.
