After taking the Crown Prince's pulse and confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, Li Mai left only Yun Chang, Zhou Quan, and Chu Yan to stay by her side, and sent everyone else away.
Chu Yan is her apprentice, and she wants to train him to learn spiritual healing techniques. Today, she'll first see if he has the aptitude for it. There are many water-based ability users, but mastering spiritual healing techniques isn't something you can just decide to do; you also need to see if you have the aptitude.
After all, those who want to learn spiritual healing techniques also need to be proficient in medicine.
Li Mai stood in front of the Crown Prince's bed and said to Chu Yan, "Look carefully, and whatever you see or think of, organize it into a notebook. When I'm not busy, bring it to me to discuss."
Chu Yan quickly and respectfully agreed, knowing that her master was going to teach her something.
Li Mai stopped speaking, mobilized her spiritual power, one hand hovered in front of the prince's face, and the other hand hovered in front of the prince's heart. She closed her eyes and concentrated, and instantly a light blue spiritual power poured out, slowly enveloping the prince's body.
Then the blue spiritual energy in front of the door slowly began to change color.
It turned from blue to white, then to pale yellow, then slowly to orange, and finally to a golden aura of spiritual energy. After that, the golden aura continued to penetrate the scar on the prince's face.
Zhou Quan and Yun Chang stood on either side of her, watching with alarm. No wonder Xiao Mai said she might faint after the treatment; the water-based ability could be transformed into golden energy, which was something that ordinary water-based ability users could not do.
And so, Li Mai remained in that pose for an hour. Finally, the golden aura transformed into a blue aura, enveloping the scar on the prince's face. Gradually, it turned pale blue, and finally, it became white, before disappearing completely in a flash.
At that moment, Li Mai, who was standing, swayed and fell to the ground.
Zhou Quan reacted quickly, catching Li Mai and lifting her up in his arms.
Yun Chang glanced at Li Mai with concern and asked in a low voice, "Will Xiao Mai be alright?"
"It's alright, she just ran out of spiritual energy. As for the Crown Prince, please take care of him, brother. Once His Highness wakes up, please explain that Xiaomai will probably wake up the day after tomorrow morning. We will come back the day after tomorrow to give His Highness a second treatment."
After Zhou Quan finished speaking in a calm voice, he carried Li Mai out.
Chu Yan quickly went over to take the Crown Prince's pulse, "Your Highness, His Highness is alright."
"Alright, you stay here and look after His Highness, waiting for him to wake up," Yun Chang instructed him.
"Yes!" Chu Yan replied. He sat by the bed and quietly observed the scar on the prince's face. He found that the scar had already healed most of the way when his master finished the treatment, and now it was still recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, the once hideous scar on the prince's face was reduced to a faint mark, and then it remained still.
Chu Yan's heart trembled violently.
In just one hour, how capable is Master? She was able to do something so incredible.
He made up his mind; he was determined to learn this skill from his master. He planned to resign from his official post as soon as he returned. He wanted to stay by his master's side and learn this skill. Once he mastered this skill, he would be an awesome figure in the world. Why would he need to be a damn official?
Having spent over a year in officialdom, he genuinely disliked that place.
If he and Zhong Hui hadn't been away working on the gold mine for half a year, he felt he would have gone crazy.
The prince woke up an hour later, by which time the anesthesia had worn off.
But the crown prince was still limp, only his eyes open as he looked around the room. Apart from his guards, only Chu Yan was guarding him.
The prince opened his mouth, "Where is the divine physician?"
Chu Yan said softly, "After treating His Highness, Madam Zhou fainted due to exhaustion. Young Master Zhou instructed that Madam Zhou would probably remain unconscious for a day and a night, and would wake up the day after tomorrow so that His Highness could come and be treated again."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince felt a jolt in his heart. It was at the cost of her health?
Throughout his life, many people have admired him, but not a single person who is completely unrelated to him has been willing to sacrifice their own health to treat his illness, let alone remove the scars on his face.
At this moment, he felt a special kind of excitement for Li Mai. His father and grandmother were right; she truly was a benefactor of the Song royal family.
"Bring me the bronze mirror!" the prince said softly.
Chu Yan nodded, stood up, and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Madam Zhou said His Highness has woken up and should drink this all at once."
"Spiritual liquid?" He had seen this before; she had used it on her grandmother.
It is said that a single bottle is worth ten thousand taels of silver.
With the help of his guards, the crown prince drank it down.
It was like a sweet dew entering his heart; he felt a comfortable and warm power spreading throughout his body.
In just a few breaths, the prince felt full of energy. He wanted to stand up and run ten laps. He was no longer feeling weak and limp.
"Chu Yan, this spiritual liquid truly lives up to its name; it is indeed worth a fortune," the Crown Prince exclaimed.
Chu Yan, who was looking for a bronze mirror for the crown prince, turned around and subconsciously exclaimed, "What? It's worth a fortune?"
The Crown Prince chuckled and sat up abruptly. "That thing you gave me just now is a divine medicine from a renowned physician, called Spirit Liquid. A small bottle of it is worth ten thousand taels of silver."
"Last time, the divine physician used three bottles to treat my grandmother's illness," the crown prince explained. He took the bronze mirror from the physician's hand and was stunned when he saw that the ugly scar on his face had been reduced to a red mark.
"He truly is a divine physician! In just two hours, he has healed to this extent?" The Crown Prince held the bronze mirror in a daze for a long time before slowly handing it to Chu Yan and saying softly, "Chu Yan, this divine physician Li may not be an ordinary person."
Chu Yan paused, then nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything.
My master is indeed no ordinary person. She must be an immortal who descended to the mortal world to save all living beings. At such a young age, she has the demeanor and magnanimity of an elder, and her methods are unmatched by people of this era.
"Come with me to see the divine physician." The crown prince reached back and picked up the mask, putting it on.
Chu Yan accompanied the Crown Prince to Zhou Quan's tent. At this time, Li Mai was lying quietly on the couch, while Zhou Quan sat silently by the bed.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince arrive, he stood up and bowed.
The Crown Prince waved his hand, telling him not to stand on ceremony. He went to the bedside and glanced at Li Mai, whose face was pale and lips bloodless, and who looked very haggard.
After Zhou Quan finished arranging how to decoct the medicine, Yun Chang asked Zhou Quan to stay with Li Mai while he went to keep an eye on Zhong Hui's medicine.
Seeing Li Mai like this, the Crown Prince felt a pang of sadness. He bowed respectfully to Li Mai, turned and left. He then looked at Zhong Hui, who lay there quietly with lifeless eyes.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince arrive, Zhong Hui looked at him as if he was about to speak, but the Crown Prince quickly gestured for him to remain silent.
"Lie down properly. I, Song Zhen, will never forget your life-saving grace that day." At that time, let alone cousins, even fathers and sons might not have been willing to take a knife for him. I never expected that this little cousin would end up like this after saving him.
However, the Crown Prince was puzzled as to why Zhong Hui's wounds never seemed to heal or scab over.
