Chapter 2596: Seeking Life in Danger

Zhu Yanyi could see through Wen Jianjue’s calculations. As a direct disciple of the Sword Sect, there should have been a branch nearby, yet Wen Jianjue had not gone there. Instead, she had brought people here. It showed great boldness, or perhaps, a desire to seek life in danger.

"Besides, I gave you two pills earlier. You gave one to her and saw the effect. Bringing her here was because you wanted to take a chance," Zhu Yanyi saw through Wen Jianjue’s thoughts at a glance. "Or perhaps you wanted to treat a dead horse as a living one."

After all, Yu Yinuo was practically a dead horse now.

Wen Jianjue had decided to come to Zhu Yanyi immediately because she had said that although Zhu Zhibin had awakened her talent at a hundred years old, she could ensure her cultivation would proceed without issues. Yu Yinuo’s condition was such that even if the sect intervened, it would be difficult to accept her. Even if they did, they could at best preserve her life. However, after Wen Jianjue had given Yu Yinuo Zhu Yanyi’s pills, her life was already secured.

Moreover, Wen Jianjue had noticed that the effect of Zhu Yanyi’s pills was far superior to those she carried with her.

Zhu Yanyi entered the operating room to perform surgery on Yu Yinuo. This was her first patient since arriving in the cultivation world.

Technically, he was not a patient, but a wounded person.

Yu Yinuo’s condition was poor. Her spiritual roots and dantian were destroyed. Fortunately, her innate talent remained. With Zhu Yanyi present, there was no need to worry.

She would first repair the dantian, then the spiritual roots.

Even so, the surgery took a full day and night to complete.

When Zhu Yanyi emerged, she looked at Wen Jianjue and said, "She is fine now. The dantian and spiritual roots have been repaired. However, I cannot restore her lost cultivation. She must start from scratch. Fortunately, her innate talent and experience remain, so recovery will be simple. It will take at most two or three years to return to her previous Golden Core realm."

As Wen Jianjue listened, her shock grew. She had seen Yu Yinuo’s injuries with her own eyes. Yet, to Zhu Yanyi, these injuries seemed insignificant.

"Immortal Zhu, Senior Sister Zhu, is Junior Brother Yu really fine?" Wen Jianjue, usually calm, now looked incredulous.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "She is fine."

Her definite answer confirmed to Wen Jianjue that he was not hallucinating. He bit his tongue; the pain was real. Yu Yinuo was truly healed.

"She has been moved to a guest room nearby. You may go care for her," Zhu Yanyi added, remembering something. "She is in a deep sleep. Do not wake her. Sleep is a vital self-repair process for the wounded. Let her wake naturally. Do not feed her anything. She should wake up the morning after tomorrow."

"Thank you." Wen Jianjue was curious about Zhu Yanyi’s abilities, but she cared more for Yu Yinuo. She hurried to the guest room.

Although the surgery had lasted a day and night, Zhu Yanyi felt no fatigue.

Yan Aohan held Mianmian in one arm and carried a tray in the other. On the tray were a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of wontons.

"The wontons are for you." Yan Aohan placed the tray on a nearby stone table, sat down, and began feeding Mianmian the rice porridge.

Zhu Yanyi did not hesitate. Seeing Mianmian eating the porridge heartily, she felt hungry too. She picked up the wontons and began eating them in large bites.

"Zhibin has been in seclusion for nearly half a month. Do you think her cultivation method is fine?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually.

"There will be no problem," Yan Aohan replied. "I monitor him daily. If there were an issue, I would have told you long ago."

"En." Zhu Yanyi nodded, then asked, "Are there evil cultivators in the cultivation world?"

"Compared to the uselessness of the mortal realm and the stability of the Immortal Realm, evil cultivators find it easier to survive in the cultivation world," Yan Aohan explained without hiding the truth. "Evil cultivators are still cultivators. Unless they reveal themselves, few in the cultivation world can detect them."

Zhu Yanyi understood this. Evil cultivators and demonic cultivators appeared similar on the surface, both emanating black aura in their early stages.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "It seems you have business to attend to."

Although the cultivation world was under the management of the Immortal Realm, Yan Aohan’s presence here meant he needed to investigate this situation thoroughly before reporting to the Immortal Emperor.

"Indeed, the cultivation world needs better management, as it falls under the Immortal Realm’s jurisdiction," Yan Aohan said after a moment’s thought.

Zhu Yanyi agreed. "I think so too. Do you suppose the Immortal Emperor ignores it out of laziness?"

Yan Aohan smiled and shook her head. she finished feeding Mianmian the last spoonful of porridge, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "The Immortal Emperor is not lazy. she simply requires the people of the cultivation world to strive for self-improvement."

Cultivation itself was an act against heaven. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor would not show leniency. Whether one could ascend to immortality depended on personal effort. Thus, the Immortal Emperor would not make the cultivation world perfectly clean. He would leave some elements to urge cultivators to strengthen themselves.

Understanding Yan Aohan’s meaning, Zhu Yanyi finished her last wonton and said, "Actually, this is quite good. Perhaps this place truly needs a doctor like me. Then I will not be bored."

Her primary purpose in coming to the cultivation world was to help Zhu Zhibin through his initial stages. Being here had been somewhat boring. Having something to do would be nice.

As Zhu Yanyi had predicted, Yu Yinuo woke up the next morning.

Upon waking, Yu Yinuo saw Wen Jianjue. "Senior Brother Wen."

Wen Jianjue hurried over and helped Yu Yinuo sit up. "Junior Brother Yu, how does your body feel now?"

Yu Yinuo checked his body. He found his cultivation was gone and was startled. "My cultivation is gone." But upon checking his innate talent, spiritual roots, and dantian, he found them intact.

"You forgot. You encountered the Yin Demon Ancestor, and your spiritual roots and dantian were destroyed," Wen Jianjue said.

"But now my spiritual roots and dantian are perfect," Yu Yinuo said, looking at his body. He felt Wen Jianjue’s words did not match his current state.

Wen Jianjue quickly explained, "That is because Immortal Zhu performed surgery on you. She repaired your dantian and reforged your spiritual roots. However, you must recultivate your power. Immortal Zhu, Senior Sister Zhu, said she could not help with that."

Yu Yinuo was slightly stunned. "Senior Brother Wen, the Immortal Zhu, Senior Sister Zhu you speak of… could it be the one we know?"
