After returning to the Bai family, Bai Qiling went to the secret cave alone.

The Holy Physician Xiao Yue was waiting there.

Upon hearing footsteps, Xiaoyue turned around with a half-smile and said:

"As expected of the Bai family head, he truly keeps his word."

He was referring, of course, to the fact that he hadn't given the knife to the Feng family.

Bai Qiling said in a deep voice:

"My Bai family paid a heavy price for this knife. If you can't cure me, you should know the consequences."

Her tone was full of threat, but Xiao Yue just chuckled and walked over with a smile. Her alluring figure was enough to make many men in the world lose their minds.

It would have been better if those eyes weren't scarlet.

She stretched out her hand, uttering a clear and melodious sound that carried energy as she moved it toward Bai Qiling's chest.

Then he said calmly:

"I already told you to try not to get angry during treatment, why did you insist on going to the Feng family to make things difficult for yourself?"

She had previously said that Bai Qiling should not get angry.

Logically, Bai Qiling shouldn't have attended the Feng family's grand banquet, but he went anyway.

How could the Bai family be intimidated?

Of course, he didn't go for nothing; he had his reasons for going.

I was mentally prepared before I went, but I was still really annoyed by the wind chimes.

Bai Qiling said calmly:

"Of course I have my reasons for going."

"What reason?"

Bai Qiling glanced at her and said indifferently:

"That's not something you should know."

"Heh... OK, OK, I'm just a doctor, right?"

After saying that, he punched Bai Qiling hard in the chest.

Bai Qiling's eyes narrowed, and Xiaoyue said with a half-smile:

"Don't worry, don't worry, this is part of the treatment."

Bai Qiling squinted at her:

"You'd better be getting treatment."

"I'm trying to help you relieve your breathing difficulties, clear your meridians, and remove blood stasis."

As he spoke, he punched Bai Qiling hard in the chest, hitting a pressure point.

It was actually quite comfortable, so Bai Qiling didn't say anything.

After Xiao Yue finished her work, she said softly:

"In two more months, the first course of treatment will be completed, and then we will begin the second course. However, we will need a medicinal guide, which is not easy to find."

"What?"

"Pure Pearl Ice Lotus".

Bai Qiling had never heard of it:

"Where can I find it? I'll send someone to look for it."

Xiao Yue said with a half-smile:

"The Pure Pearl Ice Lotus is an ice-type, top-grade immortal herb that grows only in extremely cold pools of spiritual energy. There used to be quite a lot of it, but now there are fewer and fewer places like it in China."

As society and technology become increasingly advanced, the natural environment has been damaged.

The spiritual energy in the mortal world is not abundant anymore, and naturally growing immortal herbs are becoming increasingly rare. Nowadays, most of them are placed in the otherworld of spirit masters and cultivated artificially.

However, the cultivation method is extremely complex and costly, especially after the thousand families went into seclusion, there are fewer and fewer spiritual medicine masters in the world.

It's worth mentioning that the immortal herbs planted on the Sacred Maiden Peak of the Ruo family are actually cultivated in a place specifically for the Ruo family.

However, there was no Pure Pearl Ice Lotus either.

Bai Qiling, growing impatient after listening to her rambling on for so long, said:

"Then you must know where it is, right? Just tell me."

Xiao Yue smiled:

"I'm afraid that even if I tell you, you still won't get it."

Bai Qiling frowned slightly, deep in thought, before saying in a deep voice:

"Qianjia?"

"Bingo! The Pure Pearl Ice Lotus blooms only once every ten years, and only one flower blooms within the Thousand Medicine Valley! If I remember correctly, it should be blooming in the second half of this year."

Bai Qiling frowned slightly:

"Change to another one."

He simply gave up on negotiating with the Qian family.

Because he himself knew it was impossible.

"Then it can only be the Snow Remnant Kingdom in the Northeast Region. I've heard it exists there too. There's nothing else."

Bai Qiling: ...

"So it's incurable?"

"Haha, don't rush, don't rush, let me continue."

"The Pure Pearl Ice Lotus is actually a twin lotus; for every Pure Pearl Ice Lotus that blooms, a Pure Pearl Flame Lotus will be born..."

"The Pure Pearl Flame Lotus, on the other hand, is the opposite of the Pure Pearl Ice Lotus, growing in extremely hot places. It may even cause the emergence of tombs."

"If you can't get the Ice Lotus, the Flame Lotus will do the same. The Ice Lotus has no side effects, but the Flame Lotus may have some side effects after use."

"What are the aftereffects?"

The Holy Physician Lingyin raised an eyebrow:

"After using it, I feel very hot and might develop hemorrhoids or constipation."

Bai Qiling: ...

Frankly speaking, this is hardly a side effect.

"I've heard that a spirit tomb is about to emerge, which is very likely to correspond with the ice lotus that is about to bloom in the Thousand Families. Patriarch Bai might want to keep an eye on it."

Bai Qiling nodded upon hearing this.

Before leaving, Xiaoyue gave her a final reminder: "Don't get angry so easily," and then departed.

Bai Qiling then contacted Yan Dingyun.

He wanted to ask if Ling Shu Pavilion had any news about the Pure Pearl Ice Lotus.

I was just giving it a try.

Unfortunately, the Ling Shu Pavilion also lacks it.

So Bai Qiling asked Wen Yandingyun if he could contact the Qian family.

Should we ask the Pavilion Master of Ling Shu Pavilion for it?

Unfortunately, Qianjia doesn't even answer Xia Hua's calls, so why would he care about Yan Dingyun?

"What do you want that Pure Pearl Ice Lotus for?"

Bai Qiling didn't tell him, and then changed the subject:

Which tombs are expected to be discovered soon?

"There is indeed one, but we don't know whose tomb it is yet."
