Chapter 55 Healing the River
Lin Zhifeng's understanding of storms was refreshed once again—his uncle really was a soft-hearted god!
Back then, he must have doted on the original owner's mother and granted her every wish, right?
Lin Zhifeng, this quick-thinking oddball, now only wants to know one thing: Just how handsome does my sect leader father, Lin Yuan, have to be to make my mother choose him over such a good storm?
While Lin Zhifeng was lost in thought, Jiang Yu had already calmed down from the storm.
Since Feng Bao had promised Jiang Yu to help him, he naturally began to work on solving the problem immediately.
You have to admit, my uncle is a very capable person! He was able to develop a small, insignificant sect into a first-rate sect that rivals the Sword Sect. Asking him to handle the affairs of Star Picking City now is simply a waste of his talents.
Storm didn't have the patience to interfere in the internal affairs of Star-Picking City. He and Lin Zhifeng were only visiting the mortal realm for a few days and couldn't possibly stay any longer. Therefore, he chose the simplest and most direct, yet effective, method: to cure Jiang Liu, the Lord of Star-Picking City.
He told Jiang Yu about his plans, but Jiang Yu was initially skeptical.
After all, her father had been paralyzed for a long time, and his condition was now even worse; he had been in a coma for several days. If she hadn't known that the two powerful figures before her were truly capable, she would have clung to a sliver of hope, even though she thought it was all a pipe dream. If someone else had said those words, she probably would have kicked them out as a fraud.
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Fengbao didn't say much, but took a few steps forward to Jiang Liu's bedside.
Jiang Liu had been bedridden for a long time, and his muscles had atrophied, making him look very weak. Fortunately, he had been carefully cared for, so he didn't have bedsores or any noticeable body odor.
The storm grabbed Jiang Liu's wrist and checked his pulse. It found his meridians were blocked and his life force was dwindling. By mortal medical standards, Jiang Liu wouldn't live more than a few days. However, for cultivators, curing him wouldn't be too difficult.
Lin Zhifeng, who had previously tried to dissuade Feng Bao without success, has now come to join in the fun.
If Jiang Liu's illness were in Lin Zhifeng's original world, it would be colloquially known as a cerebral thrombosis.
Jiang Liu must have encountered a mishap while practicing his martial arts; a thrombus had broken off and blocked a blood vessel in his brain. In Lin Zhifeng's original world, either surgery would have removed it, or medication would have provided thrombolytic therapy, ensuring he'd be walking briskly again within a month or two. Unfortunately, there's no cure in this timeline, which led to his paralysis and near-death experience.
As a cultivator, Feng Bao's methods of diagnosis and treatment are completely different from Lin Zhifeng's. But the patient's illness is this: to put it bluntly, his blood vessels are blocked and need to be cleared.
The storm gently released a wisp of extremely faint spiritual energy into Jiang Liu's blocked blood vessels, then manipulated the energy to clear away the blockages one by one. Then it absorbed the wisp of spiritual energy to prevent it from remaining in Jiang Liu's body and causing him to be overwhelmed and harmed by the energy.
The primary lesion in Jiang Liu's brain was cleared after the cleanup. However, the prolonged blockage had caused permanent damage to his brain tissue. Even though the primary lesion was cured, it was unlikely that he would return to his pre-illness state. Therefore, he still needed rehabilitation treatment.
Storm turned to Lin Zhifeng and asked, "Do you have any low-level healing pills on you?" Needless to say, someone of Storm's cultivation level definitely wouldn't have such low-level pills.
Lin Zhifeng said, "Yes, Uncle, please wait a moment."
Lin Zhifeng searched through several storage containers before finally finding a few Initial Healing Pills. (Even Lin Zhifeng himself didn't consume these low-level pills, so he didn't have a large stock. Finding them in a corner was quite an achievement.)
Feng took out one pill, broke it in half, and put one half into Jiang Liu's mouth. He then gave the remaining pills to Jiang Yu, instructing him, "Give him half a pill every day until he regains consciousness, then stop. This medicine is too strong; do not give him too much. Remember!"
"I understand, thank you for the medicine, Immortal!" Jiang Yu said, carefully accepting the medicine and putting it away.
After finishing his treatment, Feng Bao felt there was no need to stay in Jiang Liu's bedroom any longer. So he took Lin Zhifeng's hand and left for their courtyard.
Back at their temporary residence, Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but grumble, "Uncle, were you impulsive just now? What did you tell me when you came? You said you were just here to see if Mother's reincarnation was doing well, and not to interfere too much in her life. But now you've interfered in her life and changed her destiny."
Storm remained silent for a long time, finally saying helplessly, "No matter what, she's always the one who can control me the most. I can never refuse her. If I don't care whether she lives or dies, it will still affect my state of mind. Oh well... this is my fate!"
Lin Zhifeng was speechless. What kind of tribulation? What kind of tribulation? A tribulation of love? So, a love-struck person can't overcome a tribulation of love. This is simply a dead end, unsolvable!
Regardless of their worries, Jiang Liu, the city lord of Zhaixing City, recovered quickly.
Shortly after that treatment, Jiang Yu happily reported the good news: her father had not only woken up, but had also quickly recovered to his pre-accident condition. Now, after these few days of recuperation, he even seems healthier than before his illness!
"My father asked me to convey his gratitude to the two immortals. He also promised that he would grant any request they might make unconditionally!"
Storm said calmly, "That's good. We don't need him to do anything."
Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: What can we ask of you, a mere mortal? You're making such a confident statement because you know we won't ask you for anything, right?
Feng Bao said to Jiang Yu, "Now that your father has recovered, you don't need to force yourself to become a tool for a marriage alliance. Let's not repeat the tragedy of your Zhaixing City."
Jiang Yu did not answer, presumably because she couldn't make the decision herself.
Feng Baoxin is not the same person after all! If it were Feng Yu, how could she let someone else control her marriage? If it had been Jiang Yu back then, perhaps the three of us would not be in this situation now.
Jiang Yu made an appointment with them to meet with Jiang Liu the next day and then took her leave.
Lin Zhifeng asked Feng Bao, "Uncle, what are your plans? When are we going back to the cultivation world?"
What he didn't dare ask aloud was: Are you leaving or not? Are you trying to get together with my mother's reincarnation or something? What am I supposed to do if you stay here? Can you take me home first? I haven't asked for leave yet!
