Wang Dali was Spring Elder’s second disciple. She ran a martial arts school in the capital. Wang Dali often visited Spring Elder in the capital and had occasionally met Zhu Yanyi, so she recognized her. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she stood up.
"Little Junior Sister."
"Senior Brother Dali, please don’t worry about me for now. Let me check Grandpa Chun first." Zhu Yanyi said nothing else. She immediately began to take his pulse.
Spring Elder seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Zhu Yanyi used her special ability to scan her body. She found no issues in her body, so she extended her ability to her head. There, she saw a worm gnawing at Spring Elder’s brain marrow. Zhu Yanyi’s expression changed slightly. She directly opened her medical kit.
She turned to Yan Aohan, who was following behind her. "Protect this room. Do not let anyone in." Then she said to Wang Dali, "Senior Brother Dali, please watch the door. Do not let anyone disturb me."
Wang Dali was honest, but not stupid. Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s serious expression, she knew her master likely had a serious problem. She nodded quickly. "I will guard the door. I will not leave for a single step." Then she walked out briskly.
Zhu Yanyi took out her golden needles. Her hands moved fast, inserting the needles directly into Spring Elder’s head. Each needle seemed to know exactly where to go.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s fast hand speed, Yan Aohan knew there must be something wrong inside Spring Elder’s head. He did not rush to ask for details. Instead, he carefully guarded the environment nearby.
"Do we have a stove or something? Prepare one for me. I will need it soon." Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan, while keeping her mental energy highly focused on Spring Elder.
Yan Aohan did not know why Zhu Yanyi needed a stove, but since she asked, he went out to prepare one. Soon, he brought a stove back. "We only have this coal briquette stove. Is it okay?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at the corner of her eye, then nodded. "It is fine."
Then, she used her special ability to gently push at the back of Spring Elder’s brain. Within the area fixed by the golden needles, a lump appeared. On this lump, something moved up and down, looking like a worm. However, it looked particularly eerie to the human eye.
Zhu Yanyi did not panic. First, she took out a bottle and opened it. A stream of spiritual energy slowly emerged. Yes, this was pure Spirit Spring liquid. After opening the liquid, she took out a scalpel and made a slight cut. A small slit appeared, with little blood flowing. Zhu Yanyi placed the spiritual liquid next to the slit.
Then, the slit grew larger and larger. Gradually, a head drilled out. This head looked somewhat like a skull, with two sharp teeth in its mouth, making it look even more eerie. It looked left and right, as if checking for movement, then slowly drilled out. It sniffed the bottle opening slightly, then drilled inside. As it entered, Zhu Yanyi quickly covered the bottle lid and placed the bottle on the coal stove. She then continued with the subsequent tasks.
Using her special ability, she could see the back of Spring Elder’s brain clearly. The back of her brain was already damaged. Even if she woke up, she might have aftereffects, unless her brain could be repaired.
Tears shone in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes, but she held them back and finished the remaining work. Then, she produced a cup of Medicine Spring water from thin air. She supported Spring Elder and slowly fed her the medicine. After taking the Medicine Spring water, Spring Elder’s expression seemed much better. Her original painful expression had disappeared, replaced by a peaceful sleeping posture.
