"Spiritual power has recovered to 89%."

Huh? This time, my spiritual power increased by one point. Zhou Ruo counted on her fingers...

Since the clinic opened, she has cured at least fifty ordinary people.

I'm one step closer to perfecting my spiritual power! So happy!

After Zhang Jing regained consciousness, he found himself in a medical clinic, but he didn't know how he got there.

"Um... Doctor, how did I get here?"

Jia Yuntian said, "Someone helped you in; he was wrapped up tightly from head to toe."

I could only tell he was a man from his actions.

"Where is he?" Zhang Jing asked.

He left after dropping you off.

Zhang Jing lowered his head, feeling somewhat sad.

He was all alone, suffering from Sirius disease and nearly dying on the road. Someone managed to bring him to a clinic, but no one knew who that person was.

I have no clue how to express my gratitude.

He then touched himself and found he was penniless.

Now the doctor at Ling Shu Hall has saved his life, but he can't even afford the consultation fee.

Zhang Jing thought for a moment, then took out a small gourd from his pocket, about the size of Zhou Ruo's small palm.

He handed it to Zhou Ruo and said sincerely.

"I am a wandering scholar, currently penniless. The only thing of value I have is this gourd that my master left me. May I use it to pay for your consultation?"

When Zhou Ruo heard Zhang Jing say that he had no money, she thought it didn't matter if he didn't have any.

But this little gourd caught her eye. She took it and examined it carefully for a while.

This is a spirit-gathering gourd. Zhou Ruo's master in his previous life had one, and he treasured that spirit-gathering gourd very much.

At that time, Zhou Ruo had just begun to stand on his own, and before his master went on a pilgrimage, he specially stored some special spiritual energy in the gourd.

In case Zhou Ruo needs it when treating the elders of the sect.

Later, the sect leader fell seriously ill, and Zhou Ruo used her spiritual power to treat him, but it was ineffective after two days.

Voices began to question her medical skills within the sect, with some feeling that her master shouldn't have put her on the job so quickly.

Later, with the help of the spirit-gathering gourd left to her by her master, Zhou Ruo finally cured the sect leader on the third day.

From then on, he established himself independently within the sect.

How could such a thing exist in the mortal realm?

"Do you know how to use this gourd?" Zhou Ruo asked Zhang Jing.

"Use it? Isn't this gourd meant to be carried on your person to ward off evil spirits? How else can it be used?"

Zhang Jing looked completely bewildered, as if he knew nothing about it.

Zhou Ruo glared at him. To actually use such a treasure as a talisman was too extravagant!

Zhao Jinzhong noticed Zhou Ruo's obvious fondness for the gourd, and he whispered to Zhou Ruo,

"If you like it, then accept it."

Zhou Ruola turned Zhao Jinzhong around and whispered to him, "Brother, this gourd is a treasure, but he doesn't know its value."

Zhao Jinzhong understood. He turned to Zhang Jing and said, "My sister really likes this gourd. You can use it to pay for the consultation fee; it's more than enough."

As he spoke, Zhao Jinzhong took out a silver ingot from his pocket. "My sister was treated for an illness, and I charged three copper coins for the consultation. This silver ingot is to give you back as change."

Zhang Jing was stunned. "How...how could this be?"

For some reason, Zhou Ruo instantly understood Zhao Jinzhong's intention.

She said, "This gourd is a treasure to me; consider it as if my brother bought it for me!"

Zhang Jing stretched out his trembling hands and accepted the five taels of silver given to him by Zhao Jinzhong.

This amount of money should be enough to keep him alive for a year.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong, saying, "Thank you so much, my benefactors!"

It wasn't until Jia Yuntian saw Zhang Jing stand up, clutching the silver tightly in his hand, his eyes brimming with tears, that he understood.

Zhao Jinzhong did this purely to help Zhang Jing.

This reminded Jia Yuntian of the familiar experience he had at Zhou Ruo's stall that day.

When Zhou Ruo cured his illness, she not only didn't charge him for the consultation, but also gave him an apple.

Jia Yuntian thought to himself that he was extremely fortunate to have met such a loyal and devoted employer, and he was willing to follow him for life.

After watching Zhang Jing leave, Zhao Jinzhong said to Zhou Ruo with a heavy expression, "Ruo Ruo, the Sirius virus has probably already entered the capital."

While fiddling with the small gourd in her hand, Zhou Ruo replied, "Hmm...maybe."

Zhao Jinzhong: "If it develops into an epidemic, Ruoruo, I'm afraid you alone won't be able to handle it!"

Zhou Ruo nodded. "If only we had some kind of pill, one pill would cure everyone who has an attack."

"Pills?" Jia Yuntian asked. "Can we make them ourselves?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head, "I've never made a elixir that can cure Sirius disease, and I don't know how..."

The pills that could cure wolves were very common in her previous life, and she never paid attention to the alchemy process of such pills.

The situation regarding the Sirius plague is currently unclear, and it is unknown whether it will spread.

Zhao Jinzhong decided to wait and see, as tracing the lead on Wang Xingtian's sale of pills was his top priority.

"Yun Tian, ​​can you get in touch with Fu Da, Qian Lai, and the others?"

"Sure, young general, I'll have them come if you need them."

Zhao Jinzhong nodded. "Have them come to the clinic at 5 PM tomorrow. I need their help with something."

"Young General, please don't use such formal terms as 'please'."

"The young lady saved Qian Lai's life, so they have no choice but to do things for you."

Taking advantage of the early hour, Zhao Jinzhong took Zhou Ruo and Wulong to the West City.

Ever since Zhou Ruo got Wulong as his "mount," Zhao Jinzhong can now walk with long strides.

The travel time was reduced significantly.

Zhou Ruo sat on the back of the dragon and didn't say much the whole way. Even the dragon was unusually quiet.

As they approached the western city, Zhou Ruo suddenly said, "Brother, this Spirit Gourd... I don't think I can use it yet."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinzhong realized that the girl had been pondering this little gourd the whole way.

"What's the use of this little gourd? You seem to treasure it very much."

She held the gourd in her hand the whole way without letting go.

"Brother, didn't you say at the clinic that if Sirius disease broke out, I wouldn't be able to save everyone by myself?"

"Yes, with so many people, how can you manage all of that by yourself?"

"Hmm." Zhou Ruo nodded. "But with this gourd, I can infuse the spiritual power that can cure Sirius disease into it."

Zhao Jinzhong suddenly stopped, surprised, and asked, "It can be like this? What's next? How do you treat so many people?"

"Gather the patients together, and let the doctors use silver needles to draw spiritual energy from the gourds and insert them into the patients' Shangxing acupoints; that will cure them."

It was so amazing that Zhao Jinzhong felt as if he were listening to a storyteller.

"Could that really be true?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head again, "Not yet. I can't make the spiritual energy that the doctors extract from the gourd work."

"How can we do that?" Zhao Jinzhong was also getting anxious.

"It might take until I fully recover for the spiritual energy I infuse into the gourd to have a symbiotic effect."

Zhao Jinzhong only vaguely understood what Zhou Ruo was saying, but he felt that the situation Zhou Ruo described was already quite amazing and incredible.

He encouraged Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, it'll be soon! You're just over 10% away from fully recovering your spiritual power!"
