Ji Mofan, who was already feeling uneasy because of Fang Xuan's gaze, almost instinctively grabbed his collar when he heard Li Mingyin say those words.
Although he... but that won't do!
Li Mingyin narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming righteous and stern. "Young friend, how can I examine your wounds if you don't take off your clothes?"
Jimo Fan: ......
Fine, let's say it's his fault.
After the buttons were undone, the fabric slid down with gravity and barely clung to the bent arm.
Ji Mofan turned around, his back to Li Mingyin behind him.
The skin on her shoulders and back had an exceptionally fine texture, even more lustrous than the finest silk. Only a winding scar on the back of her neck jarred away any sense of beauty.
Ji Mofan felt the warmth of the other person's body; it seemed that Li Mingyin had placed his palm on the back of his neck.
The gentle wood elemental energy slowly seeped into the skin and muscles, and the joints that were originally not very flexible due to the missing bone now felt like oiled parts, and were wonderfully comfortable.
He felt so comfortable that he almost sighed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you actually used your bare hands to forcibly remove the immortal bone?" After the initial examination, Li Mingyin withdrew his hand and pointed to the futon beside him. "Sit down first."
"The muscle damage is irregular, and several blood vessels are severed. I really don't know how you managed to hold on for so long."
Ji Mofan touched the tip of his nose. "I'm used to it."
It's not fair to say that he's a puppet who can keep jumping around as long as his mind remains undamaged.
Besides, he's really used to it. There have been times when he was even more seriously injured, but he could still continue doing what he was doing without any expression.
However, it was indeed painful. Although it wasn't the kind of pain that would be unbearable with a single cut, the sensation of ants gnawing at your bones was constant and ever-present.
Looking down at the futon placed next to the alchemy cauldron, Ji Mofan rarely showed a hint of disgust.
It was covered with dregs of medicine and juice from some unknown herb, which had solidified and dried out over time.
Although I know psychologically that these are just medicines, I still can't help but feel that they are dirty.
After mentally preparing himself for a long time, Ji Mofan still couldn't resist secretly casting a cleansing spell when Li Mingyin turned around to rummage through the medicine cabinet.
He had just thought that Fang Xian's words were a bit too rough.
Now I think it's not rough at all; it's all realism.
"You're used to it? With your delicate skin, how could you be used to it?" Li Ming rummaged around for a while, finally gathering all the medicinal herbs he needed. He turned around while muttering to himself, but his raised foot stopped in mid-air.
The alchemy room was dimly lit, with only a small flame burning beneath the cauldron to preserve the embers. A pale orange glow flickered weakly, casting a faint light on Ji Mofan standing to the side.
The young man sitting there had completely taken off his shirt, casually rolling it around his waist. His entire back was exposed to the air, the lines of his muscles and bones clearly visible.
Li Mingyin sniffed.
Hmm, is it because it's too cold that he has a runny nose?
He raised his hand to touch it, but found it covered in scarlet.
...Ouch! My nose is bleeding!
Ji Mofan waited for a while without receiving any further response, so he turned his head to look at Li Mingyin, who was preparing medicinal herbs. "Elder Li?"
Then he saw Li Mingyin tilting his head back, covering his nose with one hand, and raising the other hand high, hopping on one foot.
Jimo Fan: ......
"Elder Li, what's wrong?"
Li Mingyin chatted as he jumped around, "It's nothing! Phew... it's just... phew, the weather's so dry, I'm a little feverish!"
Ji Mofan blinked.
He still felt that Li Mingyin was not very reliable.
*
Although the preliminary preparations were chaotic, Fang Xuan did not intentionally set a trap for Ji Mofan. Li Mingyin was indeed a highly skilled alchemist.
He guaranteed that he could definitely help Ji Mofan with the surgery to replace his immortal bones, but the condition of his wounds was very complicated, so he needed to recuperate before proceeding to the next step.
He said this with great righteous indignation.
If you ignore his bleeding nose, then the credibility is still quite high.
Ji Mofan didn't want to know what was on his mind again.
So Ji Mofan stayed in Changfeng Valley again, but this time he didn't stay in Fang Xuan's courtyard. The disciples of Changfeng Valley arranged a special guest room for him.
However, when the senior brother who had guided him heard that the medical cultivator he had found was Li Mingyin, his expression was somewhat complicated.
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Um, Chief Ji Mo, you must be careful during your treatment."
Ji Mofan tilted his head, revealing a somewhat puzzled look.
Then the senior brother who was leading the way continued, "I'm not entirely sure either, but it's rumored that Elder Li is a bit restless during treatments..."
"Moreover... I have personally witnessed his patients running out of his alchemy room, disheveled and crying."
Ji Mofan blinked.
...Well, let's just deal with whatever comes our way.
If anything really happens, he'll use Fang Xian as a scapegoat, and the disciple will repay the debt owed by the master.
He's already beaten Fang Xian once, so if he does it again, he'll have it easy to crush him.
However, when Ji Mofan officially began treatment with Li Mingyin the next day, he felt that he had drawn his conclusion too early.
When he first entered, everything seemed normal. Li Mingyin was preparing the medicinal bath solution and told him to use up the medicine on the table first, so that the medicinal bath would be more effective.
Because there were so many steps, he even handed Ji Mofan a piece of paper explaining the operating procedures.
But when Ji Mofan unfolded the document to read it, he was so shocked that all his expressions vanished.
This isn't a piece of paper with steps written on it; it's a drawing.
The images show a man and a woman's bodies intertwined, engaged in an unspeakable act.
