What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Upon hearing this news, I felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, I quickly changed my clothes, grabbed my car keys, and walked out of the funeral home's office building.

The sky outside had darkened, and a sultry wind blew through the parking lot, carrying a hint of rain.

I opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

After two weeks of rest, Li Qing finally pulled through.

I stepped on the gas, and the car drove out of the funeral home and merged into the evening rush hour traffic, quickly heading towards the First Municipal Hospital.

About half an hour later, the car entered the underground parking lot of the First Municipal Hospital.

I pulled out the car key and strode towards the elevator, easily making my way to Li Qing's special ward.

I walked to the door of the ward and peeked inside through the glass window.

The ward was spacious, and the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor arranged by the bureau was standing by the bedside, holding a stethoscope and several silver needles, conducting a detailed examination.

Jin Wanliang paced back and forth by the hospital bed like an ant on a hot pan, still clutching the cell phone that had just called me.

Lying in the hospital bed was Li Qing, who had been in a coma for half a month.

I pushed open the door and quietly went inside.

Upon hearing the door open, Jin Wanliang turned his head sharply.

Upon seeing it was me, his chubby face instantly crinkled with excitement, and he called out in a low voice:

"Brother Chen, you've finally arrived!"

This kid was just complaining about being hungry and wanting barbecue, but he's got more energy than me!

I smiled and walked to the bedside.

Li Qing was leaning against the rocking headboard pillow. Although her face was still pale and bloodless, her eyes had regained their former sparkle.

When he saw me walking over, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

"Hey, busy man Chen, I heard you've been rummaging through corpses at the funeral home every day for the past two weeks. How come you have time to visit a patient like me?"

Li Qing's voice was still a little weak, but his sharp tongue hadn't diminished at all.

"I've been sleeping for so long, I feel like my bones are about to rust."

"You didn't even mention bringing a game console so I could have some fun."

Looking at his carefree attitude, I thought to myself, "It's true what they say, old habits die hard."

Even after getting injured, this guy still has that same annoying, irritating look.

I pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, speaking very casually:

"He can still breathe and curse, so it seems he's really alright."

Forget about game consoles, just stay home and relax.

If you don't wake up soon, Lao Jin will probably take over the hospital cafeteria.

Jin Wanliang nodded repeatedly, complaining with a bitter face: "That's right!"

Young Master Li, you've made me suffer these past two weeks.

I have so many businesses to manage, and I spend all my time here cleaning up after you, peeling apples, and I've lost a lot of weight.

"Once you're better, you have to treat me to meals at the best restaurants in Jiangcheng for a month!"

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a good meal once I'm discharged from the hospital."

Li Qing rolled her eyes and weakly waved her hand.

At this moment, the elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor with gray hair put away his silver needles and stethoscope, turned around and looked at us.

"Alright, you young people can chat all you want, but don't get him too excited."

The old Chinese medicine doctor's voice was very calm and steady.

"The patient's health is now much better, and the damage to his internal organs has been almost completely repaired."

However, this time his injury mainly affected his fundamental health, making his meridians quite fragile. He will need to rest and recuperate for a period of time.

Remember, never force the use of magic power, otherwise it will leave lasting health problems.

"Thank you very much, sir."

I stood up and thanked the old Chinese medicine doctor very politely.

The old Chinese medicine doctor waved his hand, packed up his medical kit, gave Jin Wanliang a few instructions on dietary precautions, and then left the ward.

With only the three of us left in the ward, the atmosphere became a bit more relaxed.

I picked up the kettle on the table, poured Li Qing a glass of warm water, handed it to him, and then sat back down in my chair.

As I watched him sip the water, my gaze gradually became serious.

It's time to ask some questions.

"Tell me about it."

I looked at Li Qing, my tone calm but with a hint of inquiry.

"You said you were going to the Northwest or Southwest to find an opportunity to form your core, how did you end up getting involved with the Black Li gang in the Southern Frontier?"

"If I hadn't received the news in time and happened to be in Yunnan Province, you probably wouldn't even have any bones left."

Upon hearing me mention this, Li Qing put down her water glass.

The casual expression on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unusual seriousness.

Jin Wanliang then pulled up a chair and sat down, perking up his ears.

Clearly, he was also very curious about this matter.

"I have indeed found the opportunity to form my core."

Li Qing leaned against the pillow, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"In the vast mountains of southern Xinjiang, although the terrain is barren and the waters are harsh, the spiritual energy of the earth veins in some places is indeed astonishingly rich."

I found a secluded paradise there and secluded myself for about half a month. It was a natural progression that I successfully formed my core.

At this point, a hint of pride flashed in Li Qing's eyes, but it was quickly masked by a solemn expression.

"Logically speaking, I should have returned to Jiangcheng after I reached the Core Formation stage."

However, in order to consolidate my newly achieved cultivation level and to experience more of the local customs and culture of the southern border region, I did not choose to leave immediately, but instead stayed in the southern border region to continue my travels.

I want to continue to study the natural landscape there and refine my skills in feng shui.

Li Qing paused, a flicker of lingering fear from the memory flashing in his eyes.

"It was this trip that led to a major problem."

He looked at me, his voice lowering slightly:

"I found a very good feng shui layout deep in the mountains of Shiwan Dashan."

According to our line of knowledge, that place is called "Double Dragons Embracing a Pearl," a perfect treasure land that gathers and retains energy, capable of nurturing great fortune.

However, when I actually stepped into that area, I realized something was wrong.

"Something's not right?" Jin Wanliang couldn't help but interject.

"The earth's energy is too weak."

Li Qing frowned, seemingly trying to find the right words to describe her feelings at that moment.

"Logically speaking, with such a feng shui layout, the earth's energy should flow like a river, full of vitality."

But the local climate there is like that of a terminally ill old man.

Not only was it faint, but it also exuded a lifeless sense of decay.

Moreover, it's not just that the earth's energy is weak.

Within a radius of several miles, the area was also plagued by widespread withering and decay of vegetation; not a single living bird or beast could be seen.

Hearing this, I narrowed my eyes slightly.
