Having consumed the Spirit Spring liquid, her recovery of abilities was significantly faster. Half an hour later, just as Yan Aohan hesitated whether to wake Zhu Yanyi, she opened her eyes.
She carefully observed Zhang Haitao’s condition again, then nodded with satisfaction. "The ability guidance was very successful. I have removed most of the virus. The rest can be handled within seven days after the surgery. We can operate now."
This first surgery aimed to restore the failing vitality within Zhang Haitao’s body. Only when vitality returned would his overall energy recover. The foundation of this vitality lay in his meridians.
Meridians connect to the entire body. Only when they are connected and unblocked can the body function normally. It is like a machine; only when good belts connect to the power source, along with good oil, can the machine run properly. Zhu Yanyi needed to reconnect the usable meridians first. This work was extremely detailed. She spent seven whole hours on this surgery alone.
During these seven hours, Zhu Yanyi had to keep her mental energy highly focused. Her hand speed could not slow down even a little. Yan Aohan could only watch silently. She could not help with this part. The only thing she could do was wipe the sweat from her forehead and guard their safety.
After confirming everything was connected with no omissions, Zhu Yanyi immediately used her wood ability to guide her body again. As her ability guided her body, even Yan Aohan could feel Zhang Haitao’s vitality slowly returning. If her aura had felt like a ghost’s when they first met her, now it had the aura of a living person. When Zhu Yanyi finally came out of the treatment room, ten hours had passed.
"Ani, how is it?" Zhu Shunyao and the others had returned by then. They knew Zhu Yanyi was saving a life. They could not enter the treatment room, fearing they would disturb her. But the time was so long. As family, they were still worried.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "I am fine. The patient’s life is saved for now. Dad, I have prepared the medicine. Please ask Mom to boil it later. Use three bowls of water to boil down to one bowl, then give it to her. Her mind is very confused now, so do not talk to her much. Let her sleep after drinking the medicine. My medicine has calming ingredients, so it is normal for her to fall asleep after drinking it. Do not worry."
Zhu Yanyi looked very tired and continued, "I operated for ten hours. I am a bit tired. I need to go up and sleep first."
"Okay. Do not worry about boiling the medicine. Your mom and I will handle it," Zhu Shunyao said quickly. Seeing his daughter so exhausted, he felt very heartbroken. But there was no other way. He could help with other things, but he did not have the ability to treat patients.
Zhu Yanyi handed the medicine packet to Zhu Shunyao. Zhu Shunyao took it to find Xie Xinlian. Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "Go rest. I am here. There will be absolutely no problem."
Zhu Yanyi hummed in agreement. She went up to the third floor alone to take a shower and rest.
Performing a surgery is a challenge to a doctor’s energy. Zhu Yanyi had to focus completely on connecting meridians while using her ability to guide them. She performed two rounds of guidance. This was several times more exhausting than for an ordinary doctor. If Zhu Yanyi did not have internal strength and abilities, she would have collapsed from such long-term high mental concentration.
