Ning Yao stared wide-eyed at the scene before her.
It's not a hospital with equal proportions; instead, there are relevant departments to choose from at the entrance.
You can choose to go into different departments to treat different patients; all the relevant equipment and supplies are readily available inside.
There's even a huge Western medicine pharmacy with a wide variety of Western medicines.
Ning Yao casually took out a box of Western medicine, and the empty space was immediately filled again.
This change made her eyes widen again: "In that case, wouldn't it be inexhaustible?"
She couldn't understand why a secret realm lost from ancient times would contain modern weapons and a modern hospital.
However, these things were indeed a great help to her.
These things were familiar to her and she could use them with ease.
Even with the existence of such extraordinary secret realms, no one would complain about having too much wealth and ability.
After familiarizing herself with the changes in the secret realm, Ning Yao left it.
Meanwhile, in a mysterious palace in the Yan Kingdom, there was a clear spring surrounded by countless talismans and incantations.
A lotus flower floats in the spring water, and these talismans and incantations seem to be protecting it.
The lotus flower is a pale gold color, with a subtle hint of transparency that disappears.
It was clear that once the surrounding pale gold disappeared, the lotus would wither.
Even the rare flowers and plants grown in the main hall seem to be there to sustain the lotus's life.
"Master! Master!" A young man rushed into the room with a hurried expression.
Inside the room stood an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, his hands behind his back.
The old man exuded supreme authority: "What's the rush?"
The young man bowed and said, "Master! There's something strange about the golden lotus in the main hall!"
The old man was startled by the sound and hurried towards the main hall.
When he arrived, there were already quite a few people watching.
Even through the dense crowd, the elderly could see the golden light emanating from within.
"The patriarch has arrived!"
Upon hearing the sound, the crowd dispersed to the left and right, leaving a path open.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The old man ignored everything else and stared intently at the golden lotus in the center of the hall.
As expected, the golden light around the golden lotus intensified, and it was no longer almost transparent.
Jinlian herself looked less listless and more energetic.
Even the exotic flowers and plants inside the main hall looked much brighter, as if they had been baptized.
The old man stared at the scene in disbelief; it was clearly a case of someone coming back to life.
"How long has this been going on?" the old man asked.
The young man who had spoken earlier replied, "Reporting to the patriarch, it has been about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
The old man was overjoyed, his face beaming with smiles: "Great! Excellent! Go and bring the items from the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, and pour them all in!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Master! You mustn't!"
"Yes, Patriarch! Since Jinlian has been brought back to life, the family heirloom can be kept. If Jinlian develops any problems, we can use it later!"
"Master! Please reconsider!"
The old man insisted, "Am I the head of the family or are you the head of the family! Ah Heng, go and get it!"
A young man named Aheng rushed to the Treasure Pavilion, but returned after a while looking flustered.
"Master! The item is missing!"
"What? How could it be gone?" the old man roared in anger.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
"The key to Lingbao Pavilion has always been with you, how could it be missing?"
"Could it be that you, Ah Heng, stole from me?"
"That's not how it works. Ah Heng has been in charge of Lingbao Pavilion for many years without any problems. There must be another reason now."
"Now that Jinlian has come back to life, it seems she won't need the family heirloom for a while. Since Jinlian can't use it, we don't know if others can."
Ah Heng was deathly pale. He was responsible for the loss of his belongings, but now he was speechless and unable to defend himself.
"Master, Ah Heng didn't do it!" Such a weak and unconvincing explanation would not be believed by anyone.
The old man calmed down and looked at him, saying, "No matter what, the items were lost while they were in your possession. You didn't do it, but you also bear responsibility for inadequate supervision. Do you admit your mistake?"
Ah Heng lowered her head: "Ah Heng admits her mistake!"
The old man nodded: "Since you have admitted your mistake, then I will punish you by sending you down the mountain to enter the world and find your second uncle. Do you accept this?"
Ah Heng was taken aback. Second Uncle?
Is it my second uncle who left home at a young age and has been missing ever since?
"Aheng accepts!"
Some people were dissatisfied with the elderly man's arrangement, but they were silenced.
The old man's stern gaze swept over those who had just made sarcastic remarks: "Aheng was trained by me personally. If the destined person does not appear, he will be the next head of the family! Do you have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, even those who were dissatisfied shut their mouths.
"We will heed the patriarch's instructions!"
Back in the room, the old man looked at his grandson kneeling on the ground and sighed heavily.
"Get up. I think I know who took that thing. He's much more cunning than you."
Ah Heng stood up and sat down opposite the old man.
"Grandfather, it is all my fault no matter what. I am willing to accept the punishment. But I have heard of this second uncle, but I have never met him and know nothing about him. How can I find him?"
The old man gazed into the distance, as if recalling something, and said, "Of course you haven't seen him. I threw him into the mortal world when he was young, to find his destined one."
"If he were still alive, he would be over forty years old now."
Ah Heng's lips twitched. What did he mean by "if he were still alive"? This second uncle, whom she had never met before, was truly pitiful.
"Don't worry, he's still alive. His longevity lamp in the ancestral hall is still lit, and it's brighter than yours or mine. He's doing very well!"
Ah Heng remained silent, sensing a hint of resentment in his grandfather's voice.
"The golden lotus phenomenon has occurred more than once. The first time it appeared was two years ago. At that time, a faint golden light began to emanate from around the golden lotus. This time, the golden light has become more intense. Do you know why?"
Ah Heng shook his head: "Grandson only knows that the Golden Lotus is related to the fate of our clan. If the Golden Lotus withers, then we will also come to an end."
"As long as Jinlian lives, the Ning family will live on forever; this is our ancestral motto!"
The old man nodded and looked at him with affection: "You are right, but this is only one of the ancestral precepts. The second ancestral precept is what your second uncle has done for decades in the world."
Ah Heng tentatively asked, "Searching for the destined one?"
Then, a look of surprise flashed in Aheng's eyes: "Grandfather, you asked me to go find Second Uncle, but he has already found his destined one?"
The old man nodded in satisfaction: "Both of Jinlian's unusual movements were in a positive direction. It seems that the destined person has appeared."
"But why didn't Second Uncle bring him back? Instead, you sent your grandson to find him?"
The old man was speechless at this point: "He probably forgot the way back!"
