Ling Zhenfei bid farewell to Han Yunfeng and, after arriving at the nurse's station, found that the nurses there were preparing to finish their shifts.
The nurse from yesterday imdiately spotted Ling Zhenfei and, with excitent in her eyes, said, "Do you need anything, Divine Doctor Ling?"
Ling Zhenfei smiled at the young nurse, "No, I haven't rested all night. I was wondering if there's a quiet place where I won't be disturbed to rest for a bit."
The young nurse thought for a mont and said, "I do know of a quiet place, but I'm not sure if it's suitable."
"As long as it's undisturbed, that's all I need."
"Then just wait for a mont. I'll take you there after I get off work."
The young nurse quickly handed over her duties to a colleague and then led Ling Zhenfei outside.
The nurse took Ling Zhenfei out of the ward and they kept walking until they surprisingly left the hospital.
The two of them chatted and took twists and turns until they arrived at a residential complex behind the hospital.
Startled, Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Why have we co here? This looks like a residential area."
After the conversation on the way, Ling Zhenfei had beco very familiar with the young nurse, knowing that her na was Lu ng, an intern nurse at this hospital.
Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Lu ng's face turned slightly shy, "The only quiet and undisturbed place I can think of is my ho."
"What, you an this is your ho?" Ling Zhenfei truly was stunned, never having imagined Lu ng would take him back to her own place.
If this were discovered by others, who knows what they might say.
Lu ng hurriedly clarified, "No, no, this isn't my ho; it's a house I rent."
Ling Zhenfei inwardly sighed, what difference did it make whether it was rented or owned, it was still Lu ng's place of residence.
"Aren't you worried that I might disturb your rest, having worked all night long?"
Lu ng replied, "It's okay. I was sharing it with a classmate, but she just moved out. You can bear with it and rest in her room."
Lu ng, who brought a strange man back ho, didn't seem to worry about her safety at all, still so naive and unguarded.
"By bringing a stranger to your place, aren't you worried about ?"
"How could you be a stranger, Divine Doctor Ling? You are an honorable gentleman. I bet even if I asked you to do that sort of thing, you wouldn't. You'd look down on ordinary people like ."
As they talked, they arrived back at the apartnt which, just as Lu ng said, had two bedrooms and a living room. One of the rooms appeared to have been recently vacated, with only so simple furniture left.
"I'm sorry to impose on you, Divine Doctor Ling, but please rest in this room for now," Lu ng said sowhat embarrassedly.
"You are being too polite. I should be the one thanking you."
Clearly shy, Lu ng briefly chatted with Ling Zhenfei and then turned to head back to her own room.
Ling Zhenfei sought a quiet place intending to craft the life-extending pills. Little did he know, he would end up in the nurse's ho by a twist of fate. Thankfully, he had no other designs, otherwise, the young girl might have been in danger.
After securing the door, Ling Zhenfei began the process of creating his elixir.
He took out the Phoenix Elixir Furnace and first made a batch of Qi Replenishing Pills to increase the furnace's temperature and to get his hand back in practice. Then he began the process of crafting the life-extending pills.
The recipe for the life-extending pill was etched into Ling Zhenfei's mind, but he carefully revisited the entire production process to avoid any mishaps during the pill making, which could lead to failure.
He placed the required ingredients precisely on the table. Gazing at the half of the Rejuvenation Grass, Ling Zhenfei found his mind awash with myriad thoughts.
As long as the life-extending pill was successfully created today, he would surely administer it to Han Lian. As for Lu Huanong, she would have to wait until the next opportunity to find more Rejuvenation Grass.
Well aware of its rarity, Ling Zhenfei had a deep understanding of the Rejuvenation Grass's value; he had brought it back from Xianling Mountain at the risk of his life. During the heist, two powerful monsters had been caught off guard.
If he harbored any thoughts of returning to Xianling Mountain to pilfer herbs, the task would now be even more daunting. The python and the Eagle, those two great beasts, would surely be well-prepared, making any attempt to steal without considerable strength tantamount to suicide.
Ling Zhenfei would avoid that cliff by all ans if there was another way because approaching it was akin to courting death. Even if he did not steal herbs, encountering the Eagle and Python another ti would likely land him in hot water, as the beasts wouldn't let him off easily.
The flas from under the Phoenix Elixir Furnace jetted out, the blue fire appearing startlingly fierce. Ling Zhenfei continuously added his Northern Spiritual Energy to the flas, intensifying their burn.
The powerful flas increased the room's temperature, a necessity for crafting the life-extending pill.
With the aid of the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, the pill crafting process received a significant boost, resulting in much-improved efficiency.
Had it been anyone else without such an excellent Pill Furnace, their success rate would have been dramatically low, which is why calling the Phoenix Elixir Furnace Ling Zhenfei's number one treasure was no overstatent.
Following the recorded thod in the recipe, Ling Zhenfei added all the ingredients one after another.
As the ingredients were mixed in, a faint fragrance filled the room. He used the Northern Spiritual Energy to churn the ingredients within the furnace.
He then added so Xuantian Spirit Spring Water, a crucial elent that served an excellent neutralizing function.
Ling Zhenfei watched the Pill Furnace with full concentration, sensing the temperature within. After about half an hour and careful temperature adjustnts, Ling Zhenfei finally sensed that the elixir inside was beginning to take shape.
At this step, Ling Zhenfei let out a long breath, then cautiously picked up the final herb in his hand, that half piece of Rejuvenation Grass.
Other ingredients, if lost, could be painstakingly sought by Ling Zhenfei, but not the Rejuvenation Grass. He believed that while it existed in this world, it was exceedingly rare.
He gently placed the Rejuvenation Grass into the Pill Furnace. Ling Zhenfei projected his Divine Sense directly into the furnace to ticulously observe the entire refining process of the Rejuvenation Grass.
This required a high level of precision in controlling the fire's intensity and duration. Fortunately, the Phoenix Elixir Furnace has always been reliable, and this ti was no exception. The Phoenix Flas were enduring and remarkably stable.
The Rejuvenation Grass naturally dehydrated and turned into powder without any mishaps.
Seeing the Rejuvenation Grass's powder perfectly integrate into the furnace, Ling Zhenfei sighed in relief. A crucial step was completed flawlessly without a single error.
Ling Zhenfei carefully controlled the fireplace, and after refining for another half hour, he sent his Divine Sense into the Pill Furnace to closely inspect the elixir ford within. He found the elixir fully shaped, gleaming with a round and exceptionally fine luster.
