The supplies from Prince An's residence were quickly transported to the Ling Shu Hall.

Some of the sick people hadn't eaten much for several days.

Seeing that they were about to be rescued, and after relaxing a little, the feeling of hunger came over them.

The dry rations and water sent by Prince An's residence were a timely help.

The patient's mood stabilized considerably after having a full meal.

In the clinic, Zhou Ruo's face turned deathly pale after treating five more patients.

"Brother, I want to lie down for a while," Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong, pointing to the inner room.

This was the first time Zhao Jinzhong had seen Zhou Ruo so "vulnerable".

Its small body kept enduring.

He carried Zhou Ruo into the house and put her on the bed.

This was the first time Zhou Ruo had this awareness: no matter how powerful her spiritual energy or how strong her spiritual consciousness was.

The energy of a mortal body will always run out eventually.

She lay in bed, her mind clear, but her consciousness gradually blurred, and her body felt heavy.

"Hey! Don't fall asleep! Wake up! There are many people outside waiting for you to treat them!"

Zhou Ruo's spiritual consciousness spoke to the consciousness of this body.

After a while, there was still no reaction from this body.

Looking at the pitifully small amount of energy remaining in her body, Zhou Ruo had no choice but to resign herself to her fate.

"Alright, alright, since you're tired, let's rest for a while! You need to wake up after one incense stick's time!"

If this body has no energy, she can't mobilize spiritual power.

If only there were a Rejuvenation Pill, one pill would quickly restore energy regardless of one's physical condition.

Or a restorative pill would be fine... but unfortunately, none of those are available here...

While resting, Zhou Ruo thought of many names for medicinal pills.

Just as an incense stick was about to burn, Xu Yuan ran into the clinic.

He shouted excitedly, "Young General! The Qi-Subduing Pill has arrived!"

He looked around the clinic but didn't see Zhao Jinzhong or Zhou Ruo. "Where are the young general and the princess?"

An Chang jumped to his feet. "The Qi-Subduing Pills have arrived? How many are there?"

"A total of two thousand pills. After reading the memorial written by the young general, His Highness the Crown Prince came up with another plan."

They said they should be able to produce another two thousand grains before dawn tomorrow.

"Great!" An Chang saw hope now.

But then I realized that Zhou Ruo was dizzy.

He told Xu Yuan, "The princess has treated too many people, and her body can't take it anymore. She's resting inside for a while now."

Xu Yuan then realized that after he returned with the Qi-Subduing Pill, the guards told him that there were still seventy or eighty people waiting for treatment.

Including the new patients who were admitted later, "the young princess has cured more than a hundred patients!"

An Chang turned to look at the nearly empty bamboo basket not far away. "What did you think! We've already eaten three baskets of fruit and rice cakes!"

"Three baskets?!" Xu Yuan was greatly surprised. Could such a small body digest three baskets of fruit and rice cakes in just one morning?

The young princess's appetite and medical skills were equally astonishing.

Inside the inner room, Zhao Jinzhong kept an eye on the sleeping Zhou Ruo.

Xu Yuan ran into the clinic and heard everything An Chang had said.

"Ruoruo, the Qi-Subduing Pill has arrived. Will you be able to wake up?"

Zhou Ruo did not respond.

Within this body, another voice was urging her on.

"Hey! The incense stick's time is up, wake up! Get up and infuse those Qi-Subduing Pills with spiritual energy, then come back to sleep!"

The spiritual sense observed that the body's energy had recovered to one-third; if it were to cure the Sirius disease, it probably wouldn't be able to cure more than thirty people.

However, this amount of energy is sufficient to use spiritual power to refine the Fuqi Pill into a medicine that can cure the Sirius Disease.

At this moment, Zhou Ruo's body obeyed. After her spiritual sense urged her to get up, her eyes trembled and she opened them.

When Zhao Jinzhong saw that Zhou Ruo had opened her eyes, he thought he had woken her up and felt a surge of joy.

"Brother, pick me up, I'll go prepare the Qi-Subduing Pill."

Zhao Jinzhong was taken aback. "You heard the people talking outside? You know the Qi-Subduing Pill has arrived?"

Zhou Ruo nodded weakly, "I understand, two thousand pills."

Zhao Jinzhong found it strange that Zhou Ruo, who was clearly in a deep sleep, could still hear the arrival of two thousand Qi-subduing pills.

While Xu Yuan and An Chang were still talking, they saw Zhao Jinzhong carrying a sleepy-eyed Zhou Ruo out.

"The princess is awake?" Xu Yuan was overjoyed.

"Ruo Ruo, are you alright?" An Chang also went forward to check on her with concern.

Zhou Ruo swallowed hard and said honestly, "I can only hold on until the Qi-Subduing Pill is ready."

Those who heard Zhou Ruo's words in the clinic did not understand what he meant.

I thought she was still half asleep and was talking nonsense in her sleep.

"Where are the Qi-Subduing Pills? Bring them all over," Zhou Ruo said.

"Alright, I'll have someone move it in right away." Xu Yuan said, and then left the clinic.

Soon, several guards carried six jars of Fuqi Pills into the clinic.

"Brother, put me down," Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong, who was holding her.

She walked up to the six jars of Qi-subduing pills and said to the guards, "Open all the lids."

The six lids were opened one by one, and a rich aroma of medicinal pills wafted out.

It was fresh, Zhou Ruo could smell it.

Soon, she infused each jar with spiritual power, turning the Qi-Subduing Pills inside into medicines capable of curing the Heavenly Wolf.

After Zhou Ruo finished preparing the Qi-Subduing Pill, she said, "It's ready. You can take it out for the patients outside to take."

Those around Zhou Ruo didn't know how she prepared the Qi-Subduing Pills; they only saw her stir each jar a few times with her small hands, and then it was ready.

One of the guards asked curiously, "The young princess just stirred it a few times, and the pills in this jar can cure Sirius disease?"

Xu Yuan glared at him, as if to say, who gave you the right to speak here?

In order to maintain order, Xu Yuan still allowed patients to enter the clinic in batches to take the medicine.

First, five people came in.

After taking the Qi-Subduing Pill, in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the wolf-like abscesses on the five people's bodies disappeared.

After the abscess disappeared, the five people immediately regained their energy. The effect of this pill seemed to be even better than that of acupuncture and talisman drawing.

After all, it was a Qi-Subduing Pill, which neutralized Zhou Ruo's spiritual power and maximized the medicinal properties of the treatment for Tianlang.

It can cure Sirius disease and regulate the Qi and blood in the patient's body.

That's why people who take Fuqi Pills can recover their energy so quickly.

Seeing that the Qi-Subduing Pill had achieved the desired effect, Zhou Ruo was relieved.

I just lay down for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the energy I had accumulated was used up again. I've exceeded my limit.

With her last breath, she said to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, I'm going to faint again."

Zhao Jinzhong thought she meant that she felt unwell again and wanted to rest.

But Zhou Ruo continued, "I'm going to sleep for a whole day and night this time, so don't worry about me, brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ruo immediately closed her eyes and fainted.

Zhao Jinzhong was caught off guard and almost failed to catch her as she fell over.

He tenderly escorted Zhou Ruo back to her bed in the inner room once again.

Looking at the person lying on the bed, breathing evenly, Zhao Jinzhong felt incredulous.

Where can you find someone who can clearly state that they are about to faint before they pass out?

And can you know in advance how long you'll be unconscious?
