Chapter 220: Chapter 220: In the Dead of Night, A Life-Saving Method

"Doctor Wei, Mr. Su just eats those herbs directly!"

Just as Wei Hongbo was planning to concoct a medicine for Su Luo using the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and the two hundred-year-old Black Ganoderma, Zhou Ye spoke out.

"Eat them directly?"

This statement astounded Wei Hongbo.

"Yes. Mr. Su used to refine elixirs to eat, but later, he started eating these herbs directly, as it seemed to have a greater effect on him," Zhou Ye pondered and said.

Wei Hongbo furrowed his brows.

This went against what he knew.

"Doctor Wei, since Mr. Su usually eats these herbs directly, let’s just let him eat them directly. I think that might be better for him," Shen Qingzhi also voiced her opinion at this time.

"I agree with Qingzhi’s point," Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and also nodded her head.

"This young man exudes mystery and oddity at every turn; following his method is definitely correct," Lin Songbai added.

"Fine, then we’ll do as you suggest," Wei Hongbo didn’t understand, but he agreed nonetheless.

However, Su Luo, who was unconscious, obviously couldn’t eat the Polygonum multiflorum and the Black Ganoderma as they were, so Lin Songbai crushed them into powder and mixed them with Life Essence Elixir to feed Su Luo.

At the same time, Zhou Ye took it upon himself to once again channel his grandmaster-level Inner Strength into Su Luo, aiding him in assimilating the medicinal power, in an attempt to see if it could expel the remaining two Blood Fiend Needles from his body.

However, when Zhou Ye was completely exhausted and his Inner Strength was depleted, there was still no success.

"Regardless, it’s fortunate that Su Luo’s pulse, although weak, is still present. Hanging by a thread, but there’s still a sign of life," Doctor Wei said after examination, finally delivering some good news.

"We need to find another solution; Grandpa Wei, do you know any other divine doctors? Is there a way to invite other divine doctors to come over and consult with you to find a way to save him?"

Lin Ruoxi vaguely remembered that Grandpa Wei once mentioned that while he was known as a divine doctor in Jiangbei, he was actually a mere figurehead and didn’t even qualify for something he couldn’t quite recall. Did this imply that there might be doctors more skilled than Grandpa Wei?

"Yes!" Wei Hongbo said, "But at the earliest, it will also take three days. After three days, they will come to Jiangbei to assess me. As long as Mr. Su can hold on until then, maybe they’ll be able to save him."

"Three days?" The expressions of the others slightly changed.

"Given the situation, perhaps he won’t even last a day," Lin Songbai frowned and said.

"Mr. Su once made me promise not to reveal his ability to refine elixirs, but I’m thinking, if I tell them about Mr. Su’s talent in elixir refinement, perhaps they would be willing to come immediately?" Wei Hongbo said uncertainly.

"They, who are they?" Shen Qingzhi immediately asked.

"The Medicine God Temple!" Wei Hongbo replied.

"The Medicine God Temple? What place is that?" Lin Ruoxi quickly inquired.

Wei Hongbo took a deep breath and explained, "The Medicine God Temple is where all the divine doctors in the world converge. I previously didn’t qualify to join them, but in the past few months, guided by Mr. Su, my medical expertise advanced, and I was successful in concocting elixirs, meeting the standards to join them. They have arranged to come to Jiangbei in three days to assess me. If I pass, I’ll be able to join the Medicine God Temple. With the help of the divine doctors from the Medicine God Temple, I believe the chances of saving Mr. Su would greatly increase."

"The only issue is, telling them about Mr. Su would mean breaking the promise I made, revealing his ability to refine elixirs."

"Now, saving Su Luo’s life is what’s important; other matters are not so critical when his life is in jeopardy," Lin Ruoxi directly stated.

Lin Ruoxi’s words were met with unanimous agreement from everyone present.

After all, saving Su Luo was the most urgent matter at hand.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try,"

Wei Hongbo immediately made his decision to contact the divine doctors of the Medicine God Temple to see if they would be willing to come to Jiangbei the next morning for Su Luo, a prodigy in the art of elixir refinement.

Soon after, Wei Hongbo left the sickroom.

Before long, Wei Hongbo returned.

His face bore a hint of excitement, "I’ve contacted them, and they’ve said that they will send someone tomorrow, and it will even be an Elder. With the intervention of an Elder from the Medicine God Temple, Mr. Su will definitely be alright."

He didn’t even bother to brag about Su Luo; he merely relayed Su Luo’s age and what he knew, honestly. The always haughty Medicine God Temple agreed without hesitation. The person originally scheduled for an assessment after three days would now come to Jiangbei tomorrow.

Moreover, they would send an Elder of the Medicine God Temple.

The Elders of the Medicine God Temple were unparalleled in medical skills, and unrivaled in the way of the Elixir. With Wei Hongbo’s status, it was impossible for him to even make contact, but this time, an exception had been made to send an Elder from the Medicine God Temple, which excited and thrilled him tremendously.

With the Elder of the Medicine God Temple stepping in, he believed that Su Luo would surely be saved.

"That’s good."

Upon hearing this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to provide Su Luo with a peaceful environment to rest, Wei Hongbo suggested that everyone leave the sickroom, keeping only one or two people inside to watch over Su Luo quietly.

"I’ll stay."

Shen Qingzhi and Lin Ruoxi spoke up almost at the same time.

Xia Yi’s lips moved slightly, but she retracted her words before speaking out. She looked at Su Luo on the hospital bed, then at Lin Ruoxi and Shen Qingzhi, and, in the end, she said nothing, nor did she compete with Lin Ruoxi and Shen Qingzhi to take care of Su Luo.

The members of the Lin Family naturally supported Lin Ruoxi staying.

After all, in their eyes, Su Luo was already Lin Ruoxi’s fiancé, their future son-in-law. However, they hadn’t expected Shen Qingzhi to also voice a desire to take care of Su Luo.

But they remembered Su Luo risking everything to save Shen Qingzhi.

That thought slightly complicated the expressions of the Lin Family members.

So, what exactly was the relationship between Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi?

But obviously, they weren’t going to ask at this time.

Shen Qingzhi and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other.

"Let’s take care of him together!"

In the end, they both spoke up almost simultaneously.

Those present wore strange expressions.

Lin Songbai looked meaningfully at Shen Qingzhi but did not say much.

Soon.

Inside the sickroom, only the two women, Lin Ruoxi and Shen Qingzhi, were left to take care of Su Luo.

As for Lin Songbai, he was meditating and recovering in another room.

Zhou Ye kept watch outside the sickroom, restoring his own depleted Inner Strength.

Xia Yi, though she longed to stay by Su Luo, knew she couldn’t contend with Shen Qingzhi and Lin Ruoxi, so she repressed her impulses and went to take care of her daughter.

Inside the sickroom.

Shen Qingzhi and Lin Ruoxi, these close friends, were now silent.

"Last time, Su Luo protected me, getting seriously injured in the process. After being with me, he recovered completely. I wonder if that method would still be effective now?" Lin Ruoxi pondered silently. She had let go of that incident; otherwise, she wouldn’t have tacitly agreed when Grandpa called Su Luo his grandson-in-law.

"Su Luo is unconscious. Will the method from the cave still work?" In Shen Qingzhi’s mind, the incident in Jinling resurfaced, where Su Luo, severely injured, pushed her down in the cave. After several bouts of madness, Su Luo’s wounds had miraculously healed.
