When he returned to the room, Qiao Yisheng’s attention imdiately fell on Mu Lingshu. "Stone body, huh? Did you guys co here because of her?"
"Yes, Senior." Zhang Fei nodded at him. "I’ve tried everything to cure her, but all my efforts were in vain. You Shiyan told that the best doctors are in this domain, so I brought her here to find a cure."
"The Zhi Clan rejected you because of their presence, right?" Zhang Fei didn’t hide it from Qiao Yisheng. "I don’t know how you managed to reach the god rank in alchemy at such a young age, but people like you are very rare. Although I’m not an alchemist, I can sll far more herbs from your body than Old Luo’s, proving that you are superior to him in alchemy."
Zhang Fei shook his head. "Senior, I dare not say that I am superior to Old Luo, and I only like herbs and alchemy."
"Hahaha." Qiao Yisheng laughed before speaking to Luo Lianjin. "No wonder you like him, Old Luo."
"If you knew more about him, you’d like him too, Yisheng." Luo Lianjin then asked him. "Can you treat this little girl?"
"Let check first." Qiao Yisheng pulled Mu Lingshu towards a bamboo bed, and he used his senses to check her body after she lay on it.
Zhang Fei and the others waited anxiously, and they hoped that Qiao Yisheng could cure Mu Lingshu’s stone body, as she had suffered for so many years.
A while later, Qiao Yisheng withdrew his senses and took out several golden needles. "Little girl, this might hurt a little, so you must endure it, okay?"
"Yes, Senior."
Qiao Yisheng carefully began to stick his golden needles into several parts of her body, but Mu Lingzhu didn’t feel anything at first because of her stone body. After a significant number of golden needles were inserted into her body, she began to feel pain, which eventually intensified to the point that sweat started to soak her body.
Xu Ling’er and Wu Lianzhi squeezed Zhang Fei’s hands when they saw Mu Lingshu’s expression, as she had never shown any in the past, even when she had suffered a sword injury.
Just like Zhang Fei, Luo Yunxiao and Ning Zhuan’er also smiled after seeing Mu Lingshu’s expression, and they truly hoped that Qiao Yisheng could cure her completely so she could enjoy her life with their husband.
Beside them, Luo Lianjin nodded his head while rubbing his white beard. ’Yishen’s dical abilities are getting better, and he should have surpassed Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen.’
After all the golden needles were stuck in Mu Lingshu’s body, Qiao Yisheng took two pills and asked her to swallow them. Thereafter, he started flowing his qi into her body through his needles to begin the actual treatnt process, causing her to feel more pain.
Several hours passed quickly, and Mu Lingshu’s body was already drenched in sweat, making her body shape visible from beneath her dress.
Luo Lianjin and Xuan Yun were already sitting on the chairs, their eyes closed. Qiao Yisheng naturally couldn’t close his eyes, but he wasn’t interested in observing Mu Lingshu’s body, and he was fully focused on treating her.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Fei would never allow such a situation, but he had no choice but to allow it for the sake of Mu Lingzhu’s recovery.
While waiting, Zhang Fei suddenly felt several senses trying to check on him, but he imdiately activated the soul link and repelled them.
Luo Lianjin and Xuan Yun also felt those senses, even though the owner did not use them to check the two of them. They frowned slightly while turning to Zhang Fei, but he signaled them not to say or do anything.
Qiao Yisheng, who focused himself on healing Mu Lingshu, could also feel those senses. He secretly contacted his clan mbers and asked them to stop their actions. ’Those people are always like that! They were too stupid to reject such a young man just because they disliked dual cultivators, and they ended up regretting their decision.’

A day had passed, but Qiao Yisheng still hadn’t finished treating Mu Lingshu. Even so, Zhang Fei and the others could see that her condition had improved significantly, and she was no longer in pain, which relieved them.
Since he and i had been monitoring the movents of the Zhi Clan mbers from the beginning, Zhang Fei saw on his map that so of them had deliberately co to the Qiao Clan, and he certainly knew that they had co because of him.
[What are you going to do with them, Master? Are you going to build a relationship with them?]
Zhang Fei shook his head slightly. ’They’re powerful cultivators, but their mindsets are trash, and I have no interest in building a relationship with them. Although this Qiao Clan wasn’t as big as the Zhi Clan, they were much better than that clan’s people, and Qiao Yisheng’s dical abilities were surprisingly superb. Compared to them, I’m more interested in establishing a relationship with him and his clan, but I’ll look into the situation in more detail first.’
[Even though she hasn’t fully recovered yet, I can already detect that Mu Lingshu’s stone body is starting to recover, Master. She’ll probably make a full recovery once Qiao Yisheng finishes her treatnt, and she can start enjoying her life with you afterward.]
’I hope so.’
Crack
A middle-aged woman suddenly entered the room, and she nodded to Luo Lianjin and Xuan Yun before approaching Zhang Fei. ’Kid, people from the Zhi Clan have co to our clan to see you. I already told them that you don’t want to be disturbed until your wife’s treatnt is finished, but they insisted on seeing you, so I ca here to inform you. Do you want to et them now?’
’Sigh.’ Zhang Fei imdiately answered her. ’Senior, please inform them that I will et them, but I will only et them after I confirm that my wife is completely cured. If they still insist on eting now, please tell them that I will never et them, let alone have a relationship with them.’
’Alright.’ The middle-aged woman nodded slightly and walked out again.
Luo Lianjin imdiately followed her. ’I will accompany you to et them, Tang Qingyan.’
’Yes, Old Luo.’ Tang Qingyan and Luo Lianjin imdiately left the room.
.
.
.
Soon, Tang Qingyan and Luo Lianjin arrived at the main hall of the Qiao Clan, where five people were waiting for them, two of whom were Zhi Qingshong and Nie Shuyin.
"Where is that kid, Lianjin?" An old man imdiately asked as soon as the two arrived.
Luo Lianjin sighed softly. "Zhi Shengyan, Zhang Fei is accompanying his wife to receive treatnt from Yisheng, and he doesn’t want to be disturbed until his wife is fully recovered. If you want to see him, you should wait patiently, and—"
"Tell him to et us right now." An old woman spoke to Luo Lianjin in a commanding tone, which made him frown.
’This old woman is still as arrogant as ever.’ Luo Lianjin shook his head at her. "Lan Yuerong, I know you are powerful and your Zhi and Lan clans have enormous influence in this domain, but your son and daughter-in-law should have told you so things about Zhang Fei, right? With your attitude, he will never be willing to et you guys, let alone have a relationship with your two clans."
"He—"
"He what?" Luo Lianjin fiercely interrupted Lan Yuerong. "Do you think your Zhi and Lan clans are able to withstand Empress Huo’s wrath? She and Zhang Fei are close friends, and she has declared that he and his sect are under her protection. If you think you can fight her, you can go inside to force him out now. However, I assure you that your two clans will be destroyed if you do that, so you should think twice before doing it."
"You—"
"That’s enough, wife." Zhi Shengyan stopped her imdiately. "How long will the healing process take?"
Luo Lianjin responded to Zhi Shengyan with a shake of his head. "I can’t say for sure, and Qiao Yisheng is still focused on healing that little girl."
"Senior Luo, what exactly is that little girl’s illness?"
"Please tell us the truth, Senior Luo."
Luo Lianjin looked at the two people, who were none other than Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen. "Little Lingshu was born with a stone body, so she couldn’t feel anything since she was born. Even so, her condition has improved significantly now, and she should be able to beco a normal woman after Qiao Yisheng finishes healing her."
"I see." Zhi Qian nodded slightly. "The stone body is indeed troubleso for anyone, both n and won. However, such a condition is not incurable, and Qiao Yisheng should be able to cure her."
"I agree with you, sister." Zhi Shen chid in. "The stone body is curable, but the process will take quite so ti because it is related to all the nerves in one’s body, and we cannot rush the healing process, or it will have a bad impact on our nerves."
