Zhu Yanyi nodded. "For the next three days, you must follow Grandpa Yao. She will help adjust your body. Remember to practice Tai Chi with her in the morning and sleep before ten at night. These three days are for adjusting your constitution. If you recover well, we can proceed with the surgery. If not, we must continue the adjustment."
She paused, then continued, "After three days, I will first remove the eleven pieces of shrapnel. Then, we will schedule treatment for the twenty-one hidden injuries. Finally, I will break the Seven Absolutes Formation completely. After that, it is just recovery. It is quite simple, as long as you trust me."
"I came here because I trust you," Elder Yun smiled slightly. He had learned from Yan Aohan that his body had healed. After having the most advanced checks done, he found Yan Aohan’s physical condition was even better than before. He knew his own body could be saved, so he brought his trusted aides and let Yan Aohan bring him here. He did not ask where the treatment was until he arrived.
To the outside world, he said he was going on a new mission. No one knew he was here. He could control the situation for half a month.
People must live when they have hope. Elder Yun was no different. The country was developing, and he did not want to fall at this moment. As for those who plotted against him, he would deal with them slowly after returning. With a healthy body, he would have plenty of time.
Zhu Yanyi did not tell anyone about Elder Yun’s arrival. She only told Zhu Shunyao that she would stay at Grandpa Yao’s place for a few days because Grandpa Yao was teaching her new lessons. For Zhu Shunyao, since her daughter was not leaving Sicheng Town, staying at Grandpa Yao’s was normal. So, she did not object. She also sent Zhu Yanli to the Xie family, as Xie Xinlian’s due date was approaching. She worried about neglecting her eldest daughter, so she arranged for both daughters to be cared for elsewhere. This way, she could focus on caring for Xie Xinlian.
Zhu Yanyi stayed at Grandpa Yao’s place. Every day, she discussed the medicine for Elder Yun with her. Grandpa Yao found that Zhu Yanyi was very skilled in choosing herbs and calculating dosages. She sighed, "The waves behind drive on those ahead; each wave is stronger than the last."
Three days passed. Although Elder Yun had not started formal treatment, she clearly felt her spirit improve. Her previously overdrawn body slowly recovered. Zhu Yanyi checked Elder Yun’s pulse and nodded. "Good. We can remove the shrapnel now. Grandpa Yun, please change your clothes. I will remove the shrapnel shortly."
The "clothes" were actually patient gowns, but Zhu Yanyi had modified them. Except for covering important parts, the rest was exposed. This design was for people undergoing surgery. Of course, this "surgery" was just a term. It was completely different from Western medical surgeries in general hospitals.
Zhu Yanyi had received the inheritance of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. The Azure Sovereign Qingdi had a thorough understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even some aspects of Western medicine were described in her inheritance. It could be said that the Azure Sovereign Qingdi was a medical god combining both Chinese and Western medicine. However, only Chinese medical traditions bore her name, while Western medicine did not. Perhaps this was why Westerners believed they created Western medicine.
