Therefore, Ling Zhenfei was also not prepared to continue, to avoid trouble or even possibly bringing disaster upon himself.
But at this mont, the butler unexpectedly blocked the door, seemingly not wanting to let him leave.
"What do you want to do?"
The butler said viciously, "What do I want to do? Do you really think this place is where you can co and go as you please?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "What's the aning of this? Are you actually unwilling to let go?"
At that ti, Si Mayang interfered and sent the butler away, then approached and said, "Divine Doctor Ling, I'm pleading with you, I truly appreciate you, as long as you can cure , we can talk about the price."
Ling Zhenfei turned and looked at Si Mayang, saying, "Brother Sima, I think you've already seen nurous doctors for your condition. The nerves in that area have long been necrotic, now it serves no other function aside from allowing urination."
"I'm aware of my condition. I've consulted many experts in the field, all said it couldn't be treated, only future regenerative technology might help, but I cannot wait that long. You are a Divine Doctor, certainly you have a way, right?"
Si Mayang gripped Ling Zhenfei's arm, begging, which stirred a bit of compassion in Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "To cure your illness is extrely difficult, unless treated with Spiritual dicine to nurture, then there might be a glimr of hope."
Hearing Ling Zhenfei ntion a glimr of hope, Si Mayang sprang up imdiately, "Is what you're saying true? Divine Doctor Ling, I've always known that for such an illness, one needs various Miraculous Elixirs. That's why from my first year earning money, I focused on collecting. Over the years, I have indeed amassed many rare and exotic treasures including Immortal Herbs and Spiritual dicines."
"It's not just Spiritual dicine, but also many antiques and a lot of strange treasures. How about I take you to have a look?"
Ling Zhenfei was curious as to what exactly this rich second-generation had collected, so he said, "Alright, then I will follow you to see if there is indeed sothing that can cure your disease."
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei was not so adamant about leaving, hope surged again in Si Mayang's heart. He instructed his butler, "Quickly, lead the way, take the Divine Doctor to the Treasure Pavilion."
Guided by the butler and Si Mayang, Ling Zhenfei quickly arrived at the Treasure Pavilion located within the second courtyard, an ancient two-story building. When they had passed by here earlier, Si Mayang had only introduced it as the Book Collection Pavilion, but he did not ntion that on its second floor was such a grand Treasure Pavilion.
After passing through multiple guarded checks and several security doors, the three finally reached the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion. As the guards opened the first door, it revealed a facial recognition door. Si Mayang stood below, and the gates heavily swung open.
With the opening of the main door, Ling Zhenfei imdiately slled the scent of dicinal herbs coming from inside, carrying a whiff of Northern Spiritual Energy, clearly indicating that the items inside were indeed valuable.
"Please co in, Divine Doctor Ling," Si Mayang said to Ling Zhenfei with great respect.
Ling Zhenfei did not stand on ceremony and stepped in first.
The scale of the Treasure Pavilion was not small, showing it had been converted from the Book Collection Pavilion. Inside, there were even bookshelves still holding so books.
Si Mayang's collection was ticulously organized on shelves and in glass cases, each item exquisitely packaged and dust-free, evidently due to Si Mayang's regular cleaning.
Ling Zhenfei first took a tour inside. The items indeed were of good quality, and although there were so fakes, most were genuine, clearly having cost Si Mayang a considerable sum of money.
Centuries-old ginseng, Lingzhi mushrooms as large as pot lids, cow bezoar and horse treasures, and a great variety of Immortal Herbs and Spiritual dicines were in abundance—so much so that they dazzled Ling Zhenfei. There were also several different sizes of Alchemy Furnaces, which even astonished him.
"Divine Doctor Ling, with all these Spiritual dicines, there must be so you can use, right? No matter what it is, as long as you can na it, I'll get it for you," Si Mayang said, clearly delighted by Ling Zhenfei's amazed expression.
Ling Zhenfei shook his head, but didn't speak. After walking around for so ti, he said, "You have a lot of items here, but not many I can use. Moreover, they're arranged rather haphazardly. How about this, give a day, and I'll help you organize them."
"You don't need to, Divine Doctor Ling; such nial tasks can be handled by my subordinates."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "The thing is, I find this place quite peaceful, and with all these Spiritual dicines, I want to search for a treatnt thod for Brother Sima's illness, and at the sa ti, see what dical ingredients are missing here."
"Does that an you agree to treat ?" asked Si Mayang happily.
Ling Zhenfei hastily waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that. I'm just thinking of ways to help. Treating an illness requires a clear understanding of the condition and its pathology, but I believe with Brother Sima's array of Divine dicines, combined with my dical experience, I should be able to assist you sohow."
"Really? That's wonderful! I feel relieved with your words, Brother Ling," Si Mayang said with a joyful smile.
"Then, Divine Doctor Ling, is there anything you need?"
"I don't need anything, except that at dinner ti, I'd like so dinner brought over, and also I'll need a foldable bed arranged. I think I'll be staying here at night; otherwise, I won't be able to finish everything. Please make sure no one disturbs the rest of the ti."
"Of course, Divine Doctor Ling. I'll have them arrange everything right away," Si Mayang said, his heart filled with gratitude. He clearly did not expect Ling Zhenfei to take his situation so to heart.
In truth, Ling Zhenfei's actions were not just about organizing a storage for Si Mayang—he had his own motives. The repository was like a treasure trove, and during his brief tour, he'd already seen many items that greatly appealed to him.
For instance, there were nurous Elixir Recipes on top of the Alchemy Furnaces; he'd only glanced at them but noticed several formulas that were extrely peculiar. If he could record all these Recipes and transform them into Elixirs, it would be truly incredible.
Moreover, on the shelves of the Book Collection Pavilion were several books that appeared ancient. What surprised Ling Zhenfei most was that these books were wrapped in a layer of yellow cloth, a material he was exceedingly familiar with.
The Technique he relied on most, the Sky Piercing Finger, was recorded on such yellow cloth, and it was these two factors that made Ling Zhenfei decide to stay.
"Brother Sima, you must be familiar with everything in your Treasure Pavilion; you don't need to worry about hiding anything," Ling Zhenfei said to reassure Si Mayang.
Sima Yang laughed, "Divine Doctor Ling, do you hear yourself? You've only got the clothes on your back; even if I asked you to hide sothing, what could you possibly conceal?"
Feeling relieved by Si Mayang's words, Ling Zhenfei explained, "There are many things here; it might take so ti."
