Chapter 54 : The jade-like body lying sideways brings ruin to the beauty

Li Yu’er obediently turned around and went back to the west room.

Meanwhile, Xu Ping’an was still contemplating how to formulate the medicine.

Were there many ways to treat Li Yu’er?

Of course there were many; various methods from the books he had studied could be used.

He could even directly cultivate an immortal.

But those weren’t methods that could be used now.

Firstly, the cost was too high; Li Yu’er wouldn’t be able to afford it even if she dedicated her entire life.

Secondly, the patient hadn’t requested such a thing.

As a doctor, his job was to fulfill Li Yu’er’s wish and let her live a healthy life.

So, to treat her, he needed to use the most basic method: acupuncture, sealing the meridians, reversing yin and yang, and then reopening the meridians.

During the period of meridian sealing, her body would rely on external forces to survive, and there were many things that could sustain her.

Coincidentally, he had one on hand.

A mountain lord’s inner elixir.

It was quite a coincidence, actually.

That time he went into the mountains, he just happened to encounter a mountain lord looking for a meal.

The outcome was self-evident: Xu Ping’an not only obtained this inner elixir but also the tiger meat, tiger skin, and tiger bones. And of course, most importantly… that tiger penis.

Those who know, know.

Xu Ping’an casually opened a box on the medicine cabinet, pulled out a clean bottle, and gently shook it.

Water sloshed inside, but it wasn’t like clear water; it had a slightly dull and sticky feel.

He nodded.

“There’s still more than half a bottle, enough to cure her.”

From another box, he took out a palm-sized piece of broken leaf.

The greenish leaf emitted a faint glow.

The light wasn’t dazzling, but it gave people a feeling they couldn’t tear their eyes away from.

The moment this leaf appeared, the surrounding air suddenly carried a hint of fragrance.

This scent wasn’t strong; it was fresh and elegant. If one didn’t sniff carefully, they probably wouldn’t even notice it.

However, the involuntary sense of peace in the air was enough to prove the preciousness of this remnant leaf.

“I don’t need that much. I’ll use a little less. This is a treasure I painstakingly acquired from the system.”

Although his system was much like an artificial idiot, it did have some personality.

He picked up a towel nearby to wipe his hands, making sure there was no dust or other foreign objects.

Only then did Xu Ping’an gently raise his index finger and thumb and tear off a piece about the size of his thumb pad from the remnant leaf.

He closed the box and put it back in the cabinet.

In his medicine cabinet, which was as tall as a wall, some drawers contained rare treasures, even some that simply couldn’t exist in this era.

Just like the leaf he had just torn off.

That… was a part of a Primordial Green Lotus.

Strictly speaking, it was a remnant leaf of an immature Primordial Green Lotus.

A normal Primordial Green Lotus would be countless times larger than Pangu, but this one clearly hadn’t been nurtured by chaos, so it was stunted.

The leaf was only the size of a person, and what he obtained was just a tiny bit from the front of this leaf.

Even so, this item was precious enough. In this world, every bit used meant one less, and it absolutely could not regenerate in the current environment.

As for cultivation, there was also a seed of the Primordial Green Lotus hidden within the black lotus gourd that the system gave him.

However, in the current environment, unless the world reverted to chaos, this green lotus seed would never sprout.

Of course, there were other methods, such as the Orb of Chaos.

If he could trick the system into giving him an Orb of Chaos, perhaps he would have a chance to put this lotus seed in and cultivate a Primordial Green Lotus.

But those weren’t things he could consider now.

After much deliberation, Xu Ping’an still took out a needle belt from another cabinet.

This needle set wasn’t the one he usually used, but a genuine artifact.

It was the “Heaven-Revolving Earth-Turning Zhou Tian Xingchen Divine Needle.”

Named after the heavens and earth as its foundation, and the constellations of the Zhou Tian, the needles themselves could be used as magical treasures.

However, in his hands, it was just a silver needle with special functions.

He didn’t have magical powers and couldn’t activate it for attack or defense. He could only rely on his medical skills to treat people and diagnose illnesses.

Bringing the needles, the fragmented leaf of the Primordial Green Lotus, more than half a clean bottle of tiger blood, and the well-preserved inner elixir of the mountain lord, he turned and left the east wing, heading straight for the main house.

Arriving at the door, Xu Ping’an gently knocked twice, then once more.

“Miss Yu’er, I’m here.”

“Please come in.”

Xiao Jing’s voice came from inside the room.

Xu Ping’an didn’t doubt her and pushed the door open.

Just as he was about to say something, the first thing he saw was a beautiful patient, her body sprawled out.

A plain dress lightly concealed the delicate beauty; her figure, like a willow branch, slender and graceful. Don’t say she’s not a true woman, her vermilion lips slightly pursed, her face like a peach blossom.

By her mother!

What kind of hentai scene was this?!

Li Yu’er was only covered by a thin layer of plain gauze, her eyes tightly closed, her red lips pursed, and her face flushed like a peach blossom.

She lay there flat.

Although only sixteen, she had what she should have and was slender where she should be.

Even dressed, she looked so delicate and graceful.

Xiao Jing stood by, her pretty face flushed, not daring to meet Xu Ping’an’s gaze, just bowing her head in silence.

This scene before him made Xu Ping’an’s heart quite certain.

At least a B+.

She wasn’t even sixteen, and she’d been ill for so many years.

To develop to this extent showed how many rare herbs and treasures she must have consumed to survive until today.

“What’s all this?”

Seeing Xu Ping’an suddenly turn back, both Li Yu’er, lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and Xiao Jing, blushing beside her, looked up in confusion.

“Sir… aren’t you going to do acupuncture?”

Seeing Xu Ping’an turn away, not looking at them, Li Yu’er, whose face was already flushed, seemed to realize something.

The unnatural redness instantly spread to her neck.

“Quick… quick, help me get dressed.”

“Ah?”

“What are you standing around for? Hurry up~”

“Oh, oh!”

Xiao Jing looked utterly bewildered.

When she saw Li Yu’er looking as if she was about to cry from embarrassment, she didn’t dare to ask any more questions and quickly helped her put on her clothes.

“Ahem~”

Just then, Xu Ping’an, who had turned his back, suddenly coughed twice.

“Uh… just a shirt and pants are fine. The abdomen needs to be needled.”

It wasn’t strictly necessary, but there was no helping it; since they had welcomed him that way, he had to find a way for Li Yu’er to save face.

Otherwise, meeting like this would make it truly difficult to look each other in the eye.

Li Yu’er’s pretty face was crimson; she felt her cheeks burning, and she kept her head low, not daring to look at Xu Ping’an.

After a moment of rustling in the room, Xiao Jing also understood.

She and Miss had misunderstood Xu Ping’an, thinking that for acupuncture, one had to undress completely.

That’s why Li Yu’er had endured the embarrassment and stripped.

Thinking of the scene just now, Xiao Jing also felt her cheeks burning hot.

She forced open her mouth, her voice like a mosquito, barely audible.

“Sir, you can turn back now (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)”
