Zhu Yanyi returned to her practice chamber, tidied up briefly, and then hurried back home. As soon as she saw Yan Aohan, she said, "Aohan, I know how to treat Zhan Diting."
Yan Aohan was slightly stunned, then asked, "You have a way to treat Zhan Diting?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "If ordinary people lack body parts, I can refine them and then integrate them into the body through surgery, making them functional parts that sustain life. Zhan Diting’s body can be treated this way too. However, since Zhan Diting is not human, like you, the materials might be more complicated."
Yan Aohan rolled his eyes. "Wife, what do you mean 'not human'?"
"(⊙o⊙)… Slip of the tongue. I meant you are not in the category of normal people," Zhu Yanyi corrected herself.
Yan Aohan was speechless again. "Wife, don’t bother correcting it. Your correction just confirms that changing the soup doesn’t change the medicine. 'Not a normal person' is just a shorthand for 'not human'."
"That wasn’t me saying it this time," Zhu Yanyi made a funny face.
Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Alright, it wasn’t you this time. Tell me what you mean. Are you saying that as long as we have suitable materials, we can create internal organs suitable for Zhan Diting?"
Zhu Yanyi hummed in agreement. "But Zhan Diting’s body is different from ordinary people. At least her constitution is definitely better than ordinary people’s. Since you and I are cultivators, and Zhan Diting comes from the same place as you, she is also a cultivator. I think the biggest advantage of being a cultivator is that their physical fitness is absolutely top-notch. Therefore, no matter what, if the materials are poor, we cannot refine body parts suitable for her."
"So, what kind of materials do you think are needed?" Yan Aohan asked seriously.
Zhan Diting was the Diting of the Underworld. His existence was to assist Yan Aohan and Ksitigarbha in suppressing various demons, so he could not suffer any harm. Yan Aohan knew his condition; although he looked fine on the surface, he was alive only because of his high cultivation, using his power to sustain his life. As one of the controllers of death in the Underworld, he could survive, but who wouldn’t want a healthy body if possible?
Zhu Yanyi listened and said seriously, "Listen carefully. The best materials for her body are two parts Xirang (Self-Growing Soil), two parts Heavenly Water Gold, two parts Yellow Springs water, two parts Li Fire, and two parts Phoenix Wutong. These five are the most important because human internal organs are classified according to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The liver is wood, the heart is fire, the spleen and stomach are earth, the lungs are metal, and the kidneys are water. So we need these five materials. Besides these, there are other materials. I will list them for you."
Zhu Yanyi hurried to the side, wrote down the list, and handed the paper to Yan Aohan. "Have someone go find them quickly. If this plane doesn’t have them, other planes might. The sooner we find them, the sooner we can cure Zhan Diting."
Yan Aohan pointed to the Yellow Springs water on the paper. "Is this Yellow Springs water from the Underworld?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "You have this. I know."
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhu Yanyi. "Alright, I’ll get this. There is a whole river of Yellow Springs; you can take as much as you want."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and added, "There is another one you don’t need to look for, which is Xirang (Self-Growing Soil). I have some here. The plants in my Ruyi Space are all cultivated with Xirang. Although these five things sound bizarre, now that you have one and I have one, we already have two. The other three shouldn’t just be legendary items."
Yan Aohan nodded. "I’ll have them come to get the list later." Yan Aohan drew a line under Xirang and Yellow Springs, indicating they were already secured, while the others still needed to be prepared.
"If we have all these materials, how confident are you in curing Zhan Diting?" Yan Aohan asked.
"Eighty percent," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Zhan Diting is not an ordinary person, so such a heaven-defying act will inevitably attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. If an accident happens during the surgery, it wouldn’t be surprising at all. So the remaining twenty percent depends on the mercy of the Heavenly Dao."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yan Aohan’s mouth. "If your medical skill is eighty percent, that is enough. I will help you snatch the other twenty percent from the Heavenly Dao."
"Alright, we’ll talk about that later. For now, the most important thing is to find the materials first," Zhu Yanyi stretched her arms. "We can only take the next step after finding the materials."
Yan Aohan did not hesitate and directly summoned Old Pan and Zhan Diting.
Old Pan and Zhan Diting appeared out of thin air. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, they were slightly stunned. Zhan Diting said, "Boss, aren’t you afraid of scaring the little sister-in-law?"
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhan Diting. "My wife has a big heart. She is almost at the Void Transformation realm now as long as she leaves here. What is there to be afraid of?"
Zhan Diting looked at Zhu Yanyi with surprise. "Little sister-in-law, how long has it been since we last met, and you are already so powerful? Are you trying to suppress us on purpose?"
Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "Keep your chatter. I didn’t call you here to chat."
Zhan Diting raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Yan Aohan. "Boss, what exactly did you call us here for?"
Yan Aohan said slowly, "Ani told me she can cure you, but you need to find the materials on this paper." Yan Aohan handed the paper directly to Zhan Diting.
Hearing this, Zhan Diting was shocked, and surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little sister-in-law, is my boss joking with me?"
"No," Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "When I first met you, my cultivation was not enough, so saving you was impossible. But now I have entered the Pre-Dan stage, so saving you is easier. However, the prerequisite is that you can find the items listed above."
Yan Aohan said, "The most important ones are Xirang (Self-Growing Soil), Heavenly Water Gold, Yellow Springs water, Li Fire, and Phoenix Wutong. These five are the most critical. However, the Yellow Springs water is from our Underworld, so you can just go get it. Xirang is something your little sister-in-law has a bit of, which is enough for you. So among these five important items, you only need to find Heavenly Water Gold, Li Fire, and Phoenix Wutong."
Yan Aohan said seriously, "Old Pan, notify the little ghosts in all planes to keep an eye out for these items. If there is any news, verify it immediately. If it is true, bring it over."
"Yes," Old Pan nodded seriously.
Zhan Diting still looked shocked and uncertain, his face full of disbelief. "Boss, am I dreaming? I originally thought it would take a long time, but I didn’t expect the little sister-in-law to have the ability now."
"A clever wife cannot cook without rice. No matter how capable your little sister-in-law is, she cannot cure you without these materials," Yan Aohan glanced at Zhan Diting. "Instead of dreaming, hurry up and go find the materials."
