A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"The Zhao family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. Zhao Yucheng and Zhao Jinzhong have been generals for three generations, and they have killed countless enemies."

"You have done your best to heal Zhao Jinzhong's legs this time. The reason he cannot stand up is because of the resentment of those he killed in the past."

"His murderous aura is too strong; your weak spiritual power is not enough to counter it."

Zhou Ruo vaguely understood some of what her master was saying, and she asked, "Is there a way to cure this?"

"Of course there is. Since ancient times, whether in the celestial realm or the mortal realm, the balance of Yin and Yang has always been important."

"The Zhao family has been granted the title of general since their ancestors, and they have remained powerful for generations."

"The entire general's mansion was shrouded in a strong, chilling aura, but the mansion remained peaceful and unharmed for many years."

"It's because there's a hundred-year-old celestial toad living in the backyard of the General's mansion. This creature has extremely heavy yin energy, which perfectly balances the murderous aura of the General's mansion."

At this point, the master gently stroked Zhou Ruo's hair and said to her affectionately:

"Ruo'er, if you want to recover to 30% of your spiritual power, the only way right now is to help Zhao Jinzhong stand up."

"Before noon, go to the backyard and find the Hundred-Year-Old Toad. By using the Yin energy on its body, you can help Zhao Jinzhong stand up."

After the master finished speaking, he slowly retreated until he disappeared into the purple mist.

Zhou Ruo chased after him, crying and shouting, until she escaped the dream.

She woke up with a start, sat up abruptly, gasped for breath, and carefully considered what her master had said to her in the dream.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Zhou Ruotian left Lanxiang Courtyard before dawn and headed towards the backyard.

When Zhou Ruo arrived at the backyard, it was just beginning to get light.

The backyard is large and connects to a large forest.

The forest was full of fruit trees, and there were many fruits that Zhou Ruo had never seen before.

However, Zhou Ruo was not happy to see so many fruits. She wanted to find the Hundred-Year Heavenly Toad that her master had mentioned as soon as possible.

Zhou Ruo sensed that there was not much yin energy in the orchard, relying on her spiritual energy.

She walked through the orchard and headed towards the bamboo grove behind it.

It wasn't until they reached the depths of the bamboo forest that Zhou Ruo began to sense a cool, shady atmosphere.

There is a stream deep in the bamboo forest, which is the most yin place in the entire backyard forest.

The Heavenly Toad should be nearby. How can we find it? Zhou Ruo stood by the stream, looking around.

After searching carefully, Zhou Ruo discovered a plume of steam rising from the source of the stream.

As she approached, she saw that it was a icy pool about ten feet wide, emanating gusts of cold air.

Will Tianchan be inside?

Zhou Ruo tried to calm herself down. Her intuition told her that the Heavenly Toad was at the bottom of the cold pool.

She called out twice towards the icy pool, "Heavenly Toad Immortal, are you in there?"

The pool was calm and still, showing no reaction.

Zhou Ruo sat cross-legged by the cold pool, waiting patiently.

An hour passed, and the sun was high in the sky.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo forest, casting dappled shadows on the ground, on the surface of the cold pool, and on Zhou Ruo.

"Immortal Heavenly Toad, I am Zhou Ruo, the Immortal Physician."

"I need to heal my brother's legs so he can stand up and walk. Only then can I regain my spiritual power and avoid dying."

"But I can't heal my brother myself. My master said only you can help me. Can you come out and see me?"

Zhou Ruo tearfully recounted her ordeal and her needs, tears dripping into the cold pool.

But the cold pool, just like my brother's leg, showed no reaction.

Half an hour later, a cloud in the sky blocked out the sun.

The icy pool in front of Zhou Ruo instantly darkened.

A gust of wind blew by, and the surface of the pool rippled slightly.

After a while, a small whirlpool appeared in the center of the pool.

Immediately afterwards, something the size of a human head leaped out of the pool and landed beside Zhou Ruo.

The dark brown toad looked at Zhou Ruo with its eyes darting around, occasionally sticking out its tongue.

The Heavenly Toad exudes a strong yin energy, but this yin energy is not malevolent.

Zhou Ruo was overjoyed. She knelt on the ground, supported herself with her hands, and brought her head close to the Heavenly Toad.

"Are you the Celestial Toad Immortal?"

"Croak—croak—" the toad responded twice.

"That's great, Celestial Toad Immortal! I don't have to die!" Zhou Ru clapped and cheered excitedly.

"Immortal Celestial Toad, may I borrow some of your vital energy?"

The toad croaked twice more, then jumped directly onto Zhou Ruo's hand, indicating that she could take its energy.

Zhou Ruo placed the Heavenly Toad between his palms and began to absorb its Yin energy.

After a while, Zhou Ruo felt her hands swell up because she had absorbed enough of the yin energy from the Heavenly Toad.

"Alright, Celestial Toad Immortal, I've retrieved it. Thank you!"

"Croak—croak—" The Heavenly Toad turned around and leaped into the icy pool, disappearing from Zhou Ruo's sight.

Zhou Ruo stood up and dusted herself off.

Satisfied, she walked out of the backyard and headed straight for the Wude Courtyard.

When Zhou Ruo arrived at Wude Academy, it was noon, and Zhao Jinzhong was having lunch.

Zhou Ruo left in tears last night. Zhao Jinzhong was worried about her and felt sorry for her.

This morning, Zhao Jinzhong didn't see her come to watch over him as early as the previous two days, and he was still wondering if Zhou Ruo was still sad.

Seeing Zhou Ruo looking radiant and lively again, Zhao Jinzhong's worries vanished.

"Ruoruo, have you had lunch yet?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head, looking at the seemingly sumptuous meal on the table, and declined Zhao Jinzhong's lunch invitation.

Zhou Ruo patted her head, suddenly feeling a little regretful.

She was in the backyard just now, and there were so many fruits, yet she didn't eat a single one.

These past two days, I've been so worried about whether Zhao Jinzhong's legs can be cured that I haven't had time to eat anything, and now I'm really hungry.

"Since you haven't eaten lunch, why don't you want to eat with me?" Zhao Jinzhong asked, puzzled.

"Brother, do you still have any green dates?" Zhou Ruo looked at Zhao Jinzhong with anticipation in her eyes.

Zhao Jinzhong chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought Zhou Ruo was unwilling to dine with him.

I never expected my younger sister to be so different from other children; she only eats fruit and not vegetables.

"Yes, plenty!" Zhao Jinzhong turned and asked Granny He to bring in all the green dates.

"Eat more, or it will spoil." He handed half a basket of green dates to Zhou Ruo.

What can you do? You have to spoil your own sister!

The moment Zhou Ruo saw the green jujubes, her face lit up with a radiant smile, like fireworks exploding.

She didn't bother to say anything more, and started eating them one in each hand, taking big bites.

Zhao Jinzhong was stunned by the way the person was so hungry and indiscriminate in eating. How could anyone like eating fruit to such an extent?

After eating for a while, Zhou Ruo noticed that Zhao Jinzhong was staring at her, so she urged him:

"Brother, eat quickly! I need to treat your leg after you finish eating. Eat quickly, eat quickly!"

Over the past two days, Zhou Ruo asked Zhao Jinzhong several times with high hopes if his legs could move, but each time she was disappointed.

Last night, Zhou Ruo, seeing no hope for the last time, left in tears.

While feeling sorry for her, Zhao Jinzhong also wondered if he was not good enough and had disappointed his hardworking sister.
