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

Zhou Ruozheng listened as the Taoist priest and Zhao Jinzhong discussed distributing the four Pure Yang Pills and giving them to the four children first.

Save as many children as possible; it would be good if each one could recover even a little.

Suddenly, there was a commotion inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Zhou Ruo went in and saw that there were ten more Pure Yang Pills.

However, when Zhou Ruo saw the number of spirit stones required for the exchange, she suddenly became excited.

"Wow! That's great, the price has dropped? One Pure Yang Pill is only one hundred spirit stones now?"

Upon closer inspection, I was stunned, and my excitement sank to the bottom.

Zhou Ruo felt like she had been deceived, deceived by her own eyes!

A thousand spirit stones?! This isn't a price reduction! It's a price increase!

One, two, three, four, five... ten! There are only ten!

Zhou Ruo's face turned red with anger. Zhao Jinzhong found it strange that she was silently sulking.

He walked over and asked, "Ruoruo, have you encountered some trouble again?"

Zhou Ru crossed her arms, intending to complain to Zhao Jinzhong.

But when Zhou Ruo looked up and saw the dozen or so lifeless children being carefully protected by the Taoist priest, she instantly softened.

I just used five Pure Yang Pills to replenish the child's Yang energy, but the Immortal Treasure Pavilion only had ten more spirit stones.

This "deal" was really frustrating!

What's even more frustrating is that the Pure Yang Pill has now gone up in price!

"Oh! Ten more Pure Yang Pills have arrived."

Despite her anger and frustration, Zhou Ruo silently exchanged the ten Pure Yang Pills.

Zhao Jinzhong was surprised as he looked at the Pure Yang Pills that Zhou Ruo had placed on the table one by one.

"Ruo Ruo, you got so many pills from 'that place,' do you need to pay for them?"

For so long, Zhao Jinzhong hadn't thought to ask Zhou Ruo about it.

Did she bring all those life-saving pills directly, or did she buy them?

It wasn't until he saw Zhou Ruo looking unhappy and even a little strapped for cash that Zhao Jinzhong remembered this problem.

Does this mean I have to pay money? Zhou Ru pondered this question.

"It's kind of like money," she nodded. "I'll take it!"

"Is it expensive?" Zhao Jinzhong asked again.

"Expensive!" Zhou Ruo said angrily.

"Then who was this money paid to?" Zhao Jinzhong asked curiously.

Zhou Ruo was stumped by the question.

Yes, the spirit stones she paid to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion should have been given to the cultivation world!

Last time, she even told Jia Yuntian that she wanted to buy medicinal herbs from her, thinking of helping those senior brothers from the sects boost their sales performance.

How could I forget?

Thinking about this, Zhou Ruo suddenly stopped being angry.

It's not a loss, it's not a loss. Anyway, she's just a transporter of spirit stones. Healing the sick and saving lives is her mission.

"Hehe! Hehehehe!" Zhou Ruo's mood suddenly brightened. "Brother, I'll tell you later!"

"Give these children the Pure Yang Pills first!"

Although Zhao Jinzhong had doubts, he still agreed, "If you don't have enough money, just tell your brother."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Zhou Ruo suddenly became happy.

As long as she continues to treat patients and save lives, the spirit stones will continue to be available.

If one day she can no longer "earn" spirit stones, then the Immortal Treasure Pavilion will have to close down.

On the other hand, the Alchemy Sect discovered that not long after the ten Pure Yang Pills were delivered to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the accounting office had an extra ten thousand spirit stones.

At the same time, we also expedited the order for the remaining ninety pieces.

The chieftain found it utterly unbelievable that someone would buy a Pure Yang Pill for a thousand spirit stones so readily.

Which big spender dares to take such a large sum of money?

He quickly summoned the disciples of the sect, telling them to put aside their current work and go collect Pure Yang Grass.

The entire sect worked together to complete this order for the Pure Yang Pill.

That's 90,000 spirit stones! The spirit stones earned from these Pure Yang Pills alone could feed the Alchemy Sect for three years.

The Taoist priest divided the fourteen Pure Yang Pills he had collected into one pill for each of the remaining thirteen children.

There's one left. The Taoist priest will keep it for now, in case another child is abandoned tomorrow and needs urgent help.

Next, Zhou Ruo used her spiritual power and silver needles to restore the heart meridians of the two children who had regained their yang energy.

The two children recovered quickly.

The two children, one six years old and the other seven, were orphans from different orphanages.

They were taken to a place and locked up every day in a room that smelled of medicine, along with several other children.

When asked which orphanage it was, the two children couldn't answer.

When asked where he was detained or who arrested him, no one knew.

They genuinely knew nothing when asked.

Zhou Ruo did everything she could, but without the Pure Yang Pill, she couldn't help these children restore their yang energy in a short time.

It was getting late, so Zhao Jinzhong and Jiang Zhou discussed it and decided to return first before making any further plans.

After Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo returned to the mansion, An Chang rushed over early the next morning.

"Something terrible has happened; a strange thing has occurred."

As soon as An Chang entered Wude Academy, he began to speak mysteriously to Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong was sorting out what had happened at Yunxu Temple, writing down all the information he knew on a piece of paper.

The idea is to connect various clues in this way in order to find some leads.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jinzhong recognized An Chang's voice from his voice, but he didn't look up and continued writing.

Seeing that he didn't look up and pay attention to her, An walked over to him to see what he was busy with.

An Chang noticed three words on Zhao Jinzhong's paper.

"An orphanage? What kind of orphanage is this? Do you know anything about orphanages?"

An Chang found it increasingly unbelievable as she spoke; what kind of fate was this?

Before he could even speak, Zhao Jinzhong had already written down what he wanted to say on a piece of paper.

Zhao Jinzhong finally looked up at An Chang and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The strange thing I wanted to tell you about is about the orphanage!"

Zhao Jinzhong put down his pen and listened attentively to what An Chang had to say.

"Yesterday, the housekeeper came to report to my grandmother that several children had gone missing from the orphanages that my grandmother had funded."

An Chang said with a stern expression.

Zhao Jinzhong's expression also tensed up. "Are they all boys?"

"How did you know?!" An Chang was about to tell Zhao Jinzhong about this strange thing.

Zhao Jinzhong got up, walked to the door, and closed it.

He turned around and sat down with An Chang, then told An Chang everything that had happened at Yunxu Temple the day before.

"There must be a connection between these two!"

An Chang insisted that the children in Yunxu Temple were the children who had been lost from the orphanages sponsored by the Empress Dowager.

An Chang also said that although there was more than one orphanage where children had gone missing, they were all concentrated in the Tonggu County area.

Zhao Jinzhong had something he couldn't understand, so he asked An Chang, "If the children in the Taoist temple came from the Empress Dowager's orphanage,..."

Why did you only receive the news yesterday? Children had already gone missing six months ago.

"You bringing this up makes me angry!" An Chang couldn't help but slam her hand on the table.

"It's been almost a year, about eight or nine months ago, some children have already gone missing."

However, at that time, only one or two children from individual orphanages went missing, and the head of the orphanage assumed that the children had gone out to play and had not returned.

It wasn't until nearly half a month later, when the number of missing children was increasing and the various hall masters reported their cases, that the truth was revealed.

At least thirty children are missing!

Zhao Jinzhong's heart clenched. Remembering Master Yunxu's words, he said, "I'm afraid there are more than thirty."
