"Sir, please bear with it a little longer. The infection is quite serious; we can't use anesthesia to suture it yet. We need to clean the wound first. [The rest of the text is incomplete and likely refers to further procedures.]"
After cleaning away all necrotic tissue and debris, and checking for further infection, suturing can begin.
"Okay, it's okay. I can manage."
The leader's smile was very gentle.
Jian Ning took out a towel and handed it to him.
"If it hurts, bite down a little. I'm starting."
After speaking, he skillfully picked up the scalpel and tweezers. As soon as he touched the wound, the commander's leg trembled involuntarily, but his face remained unchanged.
Jian Ning tried to clean the wound as quickly as possible, then rinsed it repeatedly with saline solution before bandaging it.
Worried that the leader was too old to handle it, I took a slice of ginseng and soaked it in mineral water.
"Sir, please have some water and rest for a bit before we go out."
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
The commander's forehead was covered in sweat, and his complexion was terrible. Xiao Lingfeng took a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then took out a reclining chair from his spatial storage.
"Commander, please drink your water and take a nap. Jian Ning and I will go out and see how to get out of here."
"Okay." The leader picked up the bottle of mineral water and drank more than half of it in one gulp.
As soon as the water entered my stomach, I felt a surge of heat rising up.
He felt instantly invigorated, and his injured leg no longer hurt as much, but was instead a little itchy. He couldn't help but look up at Jian Ning in surprise.
He knew in his heart that what was soaking in this water was definitely not ordinary medicinal herbs. It must be extremely precious. Little Jian had given it to him to drink. He was deeply moved.
Xiao Lingfeng waited for the leader to finish drinking the water, then picked him up in a princess carry and placed him on the recliner. He then took out a light blanket and draped it over the leader's body.
"You've been hungry all day. Drink that water you just drank, no need to eat first. After you wake up, have some porridge to warm your stomach."
"Okay." The commander also felt that he no longer felt hungry after drinking the bottle of mineral water.
It's because I'm getting older, and after all this time and effort, I've persevered entirely through sheer willpower. Now I have someone to rely on.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
Xiao Lingfeng pulled the blanket up a little higher to cover himself properly before walking out of the thatched hut with Jian Ning.
Huang Fugui had long since disappeared.
Jian Ning called its name twice in her mind, and it quickly flapped its wings and flew back.
Perhaps because the area inside is quite large, its human form couldn't fly as fast as its original form, so it reverted back to its original form.
"Master, there are also many spiritual herbs here, all over there, in patches, as well as a spirit stone mine and a gold mine. This place is truly abundant."
"Let's go take a look." Jian Ning placed a defensive array plate at the thatched hut, just in case a large wild animal came.
Then, holding Xiao Lingfeng's hand, they followed behind Huang Fugui on their swords. After flying forward for a while, they indeed saw a large field of medicinal herbs.
Someone must have been growing them before, otherwise there wouldn't be such a complete variety.
What surprised Jian Ning the most was that there were Yin Shen flowers that Nalan Rong needed here. Although there were only about twenty of them, it was enough.
"Fugui, don't rush to dig up these spiritual herbs. Let me go see if we can store this secret realm. If we can integrate it into the immortal abode, we won't have to bother digging these things out."
"Yes, Master, hurry up! I'm so anxious because we can't dig any more spirit stones out of the mine." Huang Fugui flew around Jian Ning once before landing on the ground.
"What's the rush? Let me check first to see if there are any formations or restrictions here," Jian Ning said, releasing her spiritual sense. It stretched out, and in no time, she had explored the entire secret realm.
There are many spirit beasts here, but none of them are fierce; most are gentle in nature.
This place is some distance from the center. There's a two-story building protected by an array over there; that should be where the original owner lived.
The key to accessing this secret realm should also lie there.
Withdrawing his spiritual sense, he pulled Xiao Lingfeng and Huang Fugui along, and flew towards the small building.
Upon arriving, however, there was no sign of the small building, only a vast expanse of white mist.
"There's a protective formation here. Fugui, go and take the spirit stone from the center of the formation, and the formation will be broken." After saying that, he grabbed Huang Fugui by the neck and threw him in.
"Xiao Ning, isn't this too risky? Will the Fugui be able to break the formation?"
Her actions startled Xiao Lingfeng.
"It can't break formations, but it has an innate ability to break restrictions; no formation can stop it. Don't worry." Jian Ning had barely finished speaking when...
Huang Fugui flapped his wings and flew back, and the white mist in front of him disappeared instantly.
A two-story house built of lush green bamboo appeared before the two of them.
This small building is built by the water, with a bamboo shed roof covered with a thatched dome. All the materials are bamboo, and even standing here, you can almost smell the fragrance of bamboo leaves.
"This house is nice, I like it!" Jian Ning walked over quickly, completely unaware of the top-grade spirit stone Huang Fugui was holding in his hand.
"Hmph, all you know is to like these impractical things. You don't even want top-grade spirit stones?"
Huang Fugui muttered something, then turned into a child and stuffed the top-grade spirit stone in his hand into his pocket.
"If you don't want it, I won't give it to you. I'll keep it for myself." With that, it toddled off to play by the water beside the small building. It wasn't interested in the bamboo house, but perhaps it could catch a couple of fish from the water and grill them?
“I guess the person who used to live here was a female cultivator.”
When Jian Ning went up into the bamboo house, she saw that the room was spotless, without even a speck of dust, which must have been due to an automatic cleaning formation.
The dressing table and wardrobe in the bedroom are both made of bamboo. I opened the wardrobe and took a look.
The dresses inside were shimmering and colorful.
These are all high-grade magical artifacts imbued with spiritual energy. It seems the original owner was quite capable, otherwise he wouldn't have possessed an independent secret realm.
"It's so beautiful!" Jian Ning exclaimed, closing the wardrobe door. She continued searching the room.
"Xiao Ning, look at this thing, why is it holding onto me and won't let go?" Xiao Lingfeng suddenly shouted from the living room.
Jian Ning ran out quickly. There she saw a small yellow chick grabbing Xiao Lingfeng's finger, biting it, and then looking back at Jian Ning with a hint of smugness in its eyes.
"No, where did you find this chick?" She clearly didn't see it when she came in.
"There was an egg in a box on this table. I touched it out of curiosity, and it came out of the shell."
"Hey, why are you biting people? Are you hungry?" As soon as Xiao Lingfeng finished speaking, a contract formation suddenly appeared between him and the chick.
Jian Ning smiled and pulled over a bamboo tatami table to sit down.
