Chapter 48: The Legendary Elixir of Resurrection

**Tang Ailian saw the miraculous effects of the spiritual medicine. She then checked the patient's pulse and felt that there was some Qi flow in his meridians. The vital energy in his chest was absorbing the vitality created by the spiritual medicine.

In the heart of the white-coated doctor, waves of shock and astonishment surged. What kind of medicine had this little girl fed the patient? How could a patient on the brink of death suddenly show signs of vitality? He believed that the patient had temporarily escaped danger.

Yes, it was vitality, and even he could sense it. Previously, the patient's vitality had been severed, but now, he was showing signs of life.

Surprisingly, a small pill fed by this young girl not only went down smoothly but also immediately took effect.

By the way, the girl first covered the patient's mouth with her hand, then tapped his throat and held onto his hand. Could she be a legendary martial artist, using her internal energy to help the patient absorb the medicinal power?

The nurse was even more terrified. Could it be that this little girl had given the patient the legendary Elixir of Resurrection? She stood there in shock, forgetting her nursing duties.

Tang Ailian didn't pay attention to the shocked expressions of the white-coated doctor and the nurse. She turned to the old man and said, "I want to treat him alone. Please have everyone leave."

Without waiting for the old man to respond, the white-coated doctor immediately objected, "No, this is my patient, and I must stay by his side."

The white-coated doctor thought that this girl had merely fed the patient a bit of medicine, and yet the patient had shown improvement. It seemed that she possessed genuine skills, and her treatment process was definitely different from others.

Furthermore, there was something unusual about the patient's background. By participating in saving this patient, he could gain significant benefits once the patient recovered.

Tang Ailian spread her hands towards the old man and said, "It's not that I won't help him."

The old man gritted his teeth and said to the white-coated doctor, "Highly skilled individuals have their own principles. Please, everyone, leave."

The white-coated doctor was resentful. What principles? Was this guy just being temperamental?

He firmly stated, "No, he is my patient, and I must stay here. If something happens to the patient, who will be responsible?"

"I've already said that I will take responsibility!" The old man looked sternly at the white-coated doctor. "Old Zhao has entrusted his son's life and death to me, so I am responsible!"

Although the white-coated doctor was very reluctant, he was eventually escorted out of the ward by the old man, and the nurse followed him out.

Tang Ailian glanced at the old man and said, "You too, please leave."

The old man wanted to make excuses, "I won't interfere with your treatment."

"My treatment method is somewhat special, and your presence would disrupt the energy field." Tang Ailian ruthlessly sent him away.

The old man had no choice but to leave. Tang Ailian sat cross-legged for a while, took a sip of well water, adjusted her state to the best condition, and then began reciting an incantation while forming hand seals.

As Tang Ailian recited the incantation and formed hand seals, a surge of energy began to flow around her, spiraling towards Zhao Lu. It entered his body in a swirling motion. As Tang Ailian's incantation sped up, so did her hand seals, and more and more energy vortexes entered Zhao Lu's body. His brows furrowed, and a look of pain gradually appeared on his face.

His body even swelled up like an inflated balloon.

Outside, the old man suddenly felt a change in the energy field around him. It seemed that the natural energy of the world was converging towards this place, and even his long-stagnant cultivation bottleneck showed signs of loosening.

He was greatly surprised. The Earth's natural energy had become so thin that it was nearly impossible to cultivate. Normally, it was difficult to find even a trace of spiritual energy. But now, where was this natural energy coming from?

No, this wasn't natural energy, but it felt incredibly soothing. It could be called positive energy.

No wonder, Tang Ailian had said that he would affect the energy field if he stayed inside. It turned out that Tang Ailian had manipulated the positive energy from the heavens and the earth to heal Zhao Lu. Being able to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth, this Tang Ailian was indeed extraordinary.

He was relieved that he had invited Tang Ailian. Without her, even if he had the Elixir of Life and could save Zhao Lu, his meridians had already atrophied, and his lifespan had been depleted. Even if he were saved, he would only have a few years left to live.

But now it was different. Zhao Lu had absorbed the positive energy from the heavens and the earth, and his meridians were repaired. His lifespan would also be restored. This was truly a complete recovery!

He wanted to cultivate using this natural energy, but he was afraid that if he used it up, it would affect Tang Ailian's treatment, so he endured it without moving.

Finally, Tang Ailian stopped her hand seals, and the energy within Zhao Lu's body began to dissipate. His body gradually returned to its original, emaciated state.

Tang Ailian opened the ward door and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She said, "Alright, the evil energy in his body has been dispelled, and the root of his illness has been removed. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will fully recover."

The old man and the white-coated doctor rushed in.

Zhao Lu was peacefully sleeping on the bed. Various tubes that had been attached to his body had been removed. His complexion had returned to normal, his breathing was regular, and he looked as if he were simply sleeping.

The old man checked Zhao Lu's pulse and found that his pulse was strong, and his body had returned to normal. He spoke somewhat incoherently, "Is it true? Is he better now? Has the root of Xiao Zhao's illness been removed? Oh, his meridians have also been repaired, and his aptitude has changed. This is incredible."

Tang Ailian's face turned a bit pale, and she glanced at the old man weakly. "Don't say unreliable things, or someone might think you're mentally unstable."

She had known all along that this guy was unreliable. If he mentioned her ability to improve quality, she would be in trouble.

The old man, suddenly awakening from his dream, quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm very reliable."

Although the white-coated doctor didn't understand what the old man was saying, he couldn't contain his excitement. "When will the patient wake up?"

Tang Ailian wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "If you want, I can wake him up right now. However, I just gave him a spiritual medicine, so it's best to let him sleep and fully absorb the medicinal power."

In reality

, she hadn't expended much effort at all. She had acted this way to make the old man owe her a favor and to ensure she received a higher fee when it came time to pay for the treatment.

The old man, touched by Tang Ailian's actions, said with excitement, "You've worked hard, thank you, young friend." He then turned to the gentle-looking man who had come over. "Go get a thousand yuan for the young friend."

A thousand yuan?

At this point, a hundred yuan was already a substantial amount of money. A thousand yuan was a significant sum. However, Tang Ailian remained composed when she heard the old man's offer.

The old man hesitated for a moment in his heart. Was this girl too calm?
