"Mr. Ling Zhenfei, we agreed last time that you would come to Japan to help treat a patient, but so many days have passed, and you still haven't shown any intention of coming here."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Watanabe. I have a bit too much to deal with domestically, and it might take a while longer."

This made Watanabe Nagayumi anxious: "Mr. Ling, as they say, saving a life is better than building a Seven-Level Pagoda. Saving a life is the priority. If you don't come soon, the patient might not make it."

Ling Zhenfei responded, "But I really have things in China that need my attention. I can only go to Japan after I've finished here."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, I hope you can hurry up. Time really waits for no one, and we've prepared the cash and that piece of yellow cloth you requested."

Ling Zhenfei knew that Watanabe Nagayumi was very anxious now and greatly needed him, so he could totally raise the price at the moment.

Ling Zhenfei said, "A piece of yellow cloth along with a million in cash is indeed quite a lot. I'll head to Japan as soon as I'm finished here."

Watanabe Nagayumi seemed to understand Ling Zhenfei's point, saying, "Mr. Ling, if you have any requests, let's be clear—we celebrities don't speak in riddles."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "I'm indeed troubled by two things right now. One is the strange yellow cloth I got from you. I don't know what it's for, but it has some very unusual Northern Spiritual Energy worth researching.

Another is that I need an herb called Rejuvenation Grass. It would be wonderful if these two things could be settled."

Watanabe Nagayumi was a bit stunned: "You want the Rejuvenation Grass or that yellow cloth? Since you want them, we'll make it happen, but I hope you can be quick. It's really urgent."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, it's a deal then."

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased. If he could obtain the Rejuvenation Grass, Lu Huanong's illness would have a cure. If he could get two pieces of yellow cloth to stitch together with his existing one, he could acquire a new Cultivation Technique.

Either option would solve a lot of problems.

After they settled the deal, Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone and returned to Lu Huanong's side.

To help Lu Huanong endure longer, Ling Zhenfei planned to use his Northern Spiritual Energy to do a full-body cleansing for her.

This meant using his energy, starting from Lu Huanong's Dantian, then following the Cultivating Technique route to cleanse her thoroughly.

The purpose of this cleanse was to use his energy to expel impurities from Lu Huanong's body. From the last alchemy session, Ling Zhenfei knew divine retribution could be real, so he was very cautious in treating Lu Huanong.

There was a trace of Northern Spiritual Energy inside Lu Huanong, but it was too weak.

With a powerful father like Lu Tao, she must have practiced some Cultivation Techniques from a young age, but her body didn't allow her to continue, although the foundation was still there.

Ling Zhenfei felt it was inefficient to first move energy through the Dantian before circulating it throughout the entire body.

After thinking it over, Ling Zhenfei asked Lu Huanong to remove her boots. Lu Huanong, being quite a traditional girl, sometimes even a bit like an ancient one, felt shy about removing her boots at Ling Zhenfei's request.

Ancient girls paid great attention to their feet, and Lu Huanong was no different. Letting someone see her feet was truly embarrassing for her, but she eventually took off her shoes and socks, revealing a pair of pretty little feet.

Lu Huanong's delicate feet were very petite, and as fair and tender as beautiful jade, resembling something sculpted from a Jade Carving.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Excuse me, I might need to hold your feet."

Lu Huanong was stunned and, showing a slightly incredulous expression, asked, "You want to hold my feet?"

Ling Zhenfei, puzzled by her expression, said, "Yes, I thought of a special treatment method that starts from your feet."

Lu Huanong hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement.

Ling Zhenfei gently grasped Lu Huanong's pair of Jade Carving-like feet, causing her body to suddenly tremble, as though electrified.

Ling Zhenfei didn't think much of it and infused energy into the Yongquan Acupoint at the soles of her feet, streaming it throughout her body.

This method sent two streams of energy simultaneously coursing through Lu Huanong's body, eventually channeling it directly into her Dantian, speeding up the process significantly and leaving some of the energy within her.

After several cleansing sessions, Ling Zhenfei exhausted a large amount of energy and finally stopped.

Originally embarrassed about showing her feet, Lu Huanong was now red-faced as Ling Zhenfei held her small feet for so long, looking quite lovely.

"I apologize for earlier." Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Lu Huanong to place so much importance on her feet.

But Lu Huanong's feet truly were beautiful. Though he had seen the feet of many beautiful women, none matched the jade-like delicacy of Lu Huanong's.

They say women's feet are most beautiful in high heels, but Lu Huanong's feet were beautiful without them.

"It's okay. I know Big Brother Lu is doing this for my treatment, and I should thank you," Lu Huanong said softly.

Ling Zhenfei reiterated the important points for Lu Huanong to pay attention to, reminding her to persevere.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang again. He glanced at it and saw it was an unknown number. Initially, he didn't want to pick up, but, against his better judgment, he did.

A man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Mr. Ling Zhenfei?"

Ling Zhenfei hadn't heard this voice before, suggesting he didn't know the person. He replied, "Yes, I am Ling Zhenfei. Who are you and what do you need?"

The man said, "Divine Doctor Ling, my name is Cao Qinglin. I'm from the Capital City, and although you might not know my name, I've long admired you."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit taken aback; he indeed had never heard of Cao Qinglin, unsure why this person was seeking him.

"Hello, Mr. Cao. May I know why you are contacting me?"

Cao Qinglin said, "It's like this, Mr. Ling. You don't know me, but you might know my wife. She used to act in TV dramas—her name is Xu Yuyu."

Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned. Cao Qinglin turned out to be Xu Yuyu's husband, and for a moment, it felt as if his hairs were standing on end.

It was like being a kid caught by a parent after stealing another kid's toy.

"What does Mr. Cao mean?" Ling Zhenfei asked cautiously.

Cao Qinglin hurriedly said, "It's like this, Mr. Ling. I've been married to Xu Yuyu for years without any children. Now Xu Yuyu is finally pregnant, and having a child later in life isn't easy, but suddenly there's an issue with her pregnancy."
