Chapter 64: Longing (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Following the map of the Sunset Forest provided by Dugu Bo, Ning Feiliu finally left the Sunset Forest.

He had already stayed in the Sunset Forest for two and a half days; with the clinic closed for two and a half days, presumably only those commoners were thinking of him.

The main reason was that Ning Feiliu was now living outside on his own.

Over the past six months, several brothers had also come to visit him from time to time.

Especially his eldest brother, Ning Mingrui, who would always come to visit Ning Feiliu every two or three days, fearing that Ning Feiliu might have encountered some accident outside, or was being bullied and not saying anything.

It was not until a few months had passed and he saw that Ning Feiliu was truly fine.

And Ning Feiliu's reputation had also been established, that he felt at ease and changed to coming to see Ning Feiliu every half month.

His second brother, Ning Shouzong, also constantly helped Ning Feiliu with arrangements, the supply of ordinary medicinal herbs, and secretly hinting and warning those in the same trade not to have crooked thoughts; all had this second brother's help.

His fourth and fifth younger brothers were still young and had not yet started managing the sect's business, so they could not help much, and it was also difficult for them to come out to visit Ning Feiliu alone.

He could not help his brothers, nor could he defy the heavens and change their fates like this.

Or perhaps... inherited from the bloodline of Ning Feiliu, who had already consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate.

Therefore, to have the ability to be immune to water and fire, one must be like Ning Feiliu and have consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate.

So Ning Feiliu must prevent this catastrophe in the future!

At the very least, he must ensure the safety of his eldest brother and the other brothers!

Ning Feiliu had now also defied the heavens and changed his fate, but unfortunately...

What he relied on now was the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and his brothers were also extremely good to him.

He did not even need to transform the material of his own martial soul, because the material of Ning Feiliu's own martial soul had already completely turned into Moon Stone.

And this could also be passed down.

Although the original plot did not mention the fate of Ning Mingrui, Ning Shouzong, and the others.

But Ning Feiliu could also feel their sincerity.

One hour later.

Because in the 【Martial Soul Group Forging Method】, he already knew that to recast a martial soul, one must have more than five different powers contained within the martial soul.

This was also the reason why Ning Feiliu could never bring himself to hate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Even at the thought of that future catastrophe in the original plot, he felt somewhat indignant and unable to calm down...

Naturally, one must possess the ability to be immune to water and fire; the Qiluo Tulip was secondary.

It could be said that the predecessors plant the trees and the descendants enjoy the shade; Ning Feiliu had to work hard to cast the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Set.

But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered heavy losses in that Soul Hunting Operation; what if Ning Mingrui and the others...

How could he vent his anger on the innocent Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had even helped him quite a bit, just because of the spoiled behavior of Ning Rongrong alone?

He truly could not bring himself to hate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and his many brothers.

But his descendants would not need such trouble; they would only need to use the 【Martial Soul Group Forging Method】 to cast their martial souls to obtain the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Set.

Yes, this meant that his descendants could also use the 【Martial Soul Group Forging Method】 to obtain the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Set.

They would only need to cast the different powers originally in their inherited Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul into the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Set in an extremely hot environment.

Ning Feiliu finally returned to the clinic, but the clinic was now unusually quiet in front of the door, far from the bustle before.

But he did not care; he was not very attentive to the work at the clinic now.

And presumably, the commoners who usually came for medical treatment, having not seen him open the clinic for these two days, probably also knew that he had something to do recently and did not come to open it.

However...

"Little Doctor Ning!" A voice came from the side.

Ning Feiliu turned his head to look and said, "Are you here for medical treatment?"

"Yes..." The weary man in plain clothes clutched his stomach, looking as if he were in unbearable pain, and said, "I have had a stomach upset for the past few days, as if there were bugs crawling inside."

"Didn't I tell you not to drink raw water?" Ning Feiliu said helplessly, "Alright, come in first."

That person smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Ning Feiliu was also helpless against these somewhat ignorant commoners, but he still opened the clinic, intending to start working, but just at this moment...

"Lingling?" Seeing Ye Lingling sitting in front of the consultation desk with her eyes closed in cultivation, Ning Feiliu was somewhat surprised.

Ye Lingling slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Ning Feiliu.

"You've finally returned," she said calmly.

"You've been waiting for me here for a long time?" Ning Feiliu was very curious.

He had previously given Ye Lingling the key to the clinic, and not just Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan actually also had the key to his clinic.

He did not think there was anything of his here that Ye Lingling or Dugu Yan would covet, at most just Alchemy Potions and their corresponding formulas.

However... haha, Ning Feiliu, who had a cheat, would never write the formulas in a notebook.

Even for those powerful Alchemy Potions, he had only prepared two bottles of each.

Ye Lingling probably would not covet his Alchemy Potions either.

So, giving Ye Lingling the key was fine.

But Ye Lingling looked like this... it seemed she had been waiting for him for a long time.

Could it be that in the two days he was away, Ye Lingling had been waiting for him at the clinic?

"No, I just came over every day to see if you had returned," Ye Lingling paused, seemingly afraid that Ning Feiliu would misunderstand, and said, "After all, it was agreed that you would teach me medicine."

"Fine then," Ning Feiliu did not doubt her, saying, "Let's continue to open the clinic and finish treating them first."

With the reopening of the clinic, those patients came to seek treatment again.

Ning Feiliu easily resolved the ailments of a few more patients, but after that, no one else came.

After all... who gets sick every single day.

The nearby sick commoner NPCs had basically been swept clean by Ning Feiliu, so there weren't that many patients coming to seek medical treatment anymore.

At this moment, apart from Ye Lingling and Ning Feiliu, there was no one else in the medical clinic.

Just as chaotic thoughts began to well up in Ning Feiliu's heart...

"Why did you stay with Senior Poison Douluo for so long?" Ye Lingling suddenly asked.

Ning Feiliu didn't think there was anything strange about it; during the time he had spent with Ye Lingling, he actually felt that this young lady wasn't all that cold or aloof.

In reality, this was just his own feeling.

Anyone who actually had interactions with Ye Lingling on a regular basis would be absolutely shocked and unable to believe it if they saw her taking the initiative to strike up a conversation now.

Since when would Ye Lingling take the initiative to chat with someone?!

Ye Lingling didn't actually know why either; she always had an inexplicable sense of closeness toward Ning Feiliu, and his superb medical skills, along with those unheard-of, unfathomable medical theories...

All of it seemed to have stirred a special emotion within her heart.

And this special emotion was something Ye Lingling had only ever felt toward one other person in her life.

That was her father—Ye Tianxin.

If she were to tell Ning Feiliu about this special emotion, Ning Feiliu might give her a definitive answer—that is, "admiration."

Updating one chapter in the morning, asking for follow-up reads; there might be another chapter posted during the lunch break, if there's no time, I'll wait until I get home from work in the evening to post it.
