Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 359: Chapter 229: A Grand Gift

Walking on the streets of Dan City, Ye Lingyue quickly came to appreciate the local customs and culture of Dan City.

Dan City has a special geographical location and is situated on the relatively safe outskirts of the Xixia Plain, hence the population living there has been increasing year by year, now amounting to at least a hundred thousand.

Among them are many people from nearby cities, merchants who come from various places to purchase Elixir Pills and wholesale medicinal materials, as well as common folks who come to Dan City to seek medical treatment and buy Elixir Pills.

These people all embody massive business opportunities, it’s just a pity that Emperor Xia, far away in Xia Capital, is completely oblivious to this.

Ye Lingyue also noticed that there were no shortage of faces from foreign lands on the street, and it was only after walking more than half of the street that Ye Lingyue finally found the Treasure Cave.

Seeing the Treasure Cave, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but smile.

The tastes of the He Family brothers hadn’t changed at all; this Treasure Cave, from its exterior to its size and interior decorations, was identical to the one in Xia Capital, even the attendant sitting inside the gambling den was the same one from before.

If not for the fact that she was in Dan City, Ye Lingyue would have truly thought that she had traveled through time to the Treasure Cave in Xia Capital.

From the outside, the newly opened Treasure Cave seemed quiet, but Ye Lingyue knew that underneath this unassuming gambling den, it must be bustling with excitement.

”Attendant, tell your three bosses that Hong Shisan has come to visit,” Ye Lingyue got straight to the point and announced her name directly.

The attendant hurriedly went inside to report, and brought out some tea.

”Brother Hong, is it really you? I thought my eyes were deceiving me,” A hearty voice was heard before the tea was finished.

A robust old man walked over, it was the long unseen Third Brother He.

It turned out that after receiving a secret tip from Ye Lingyue, the He Family brothers had hurriedly escaped from Xia Capital, avoiding a massive calamity of having their property confiscated. Although there were some losses, the core assets of the Treasure Cave were all preserved.

They planned to establish a new Treasure Cave in other parts of Daxia and after a period of selection, they chose Dan City, which was not only commercially vibrant but also far from the ears of Xia Houhong and Hong Fang.

Thanks to the good reputation of the Treasure Cave accumulated over the years, its business soon recovered to about half of its heyday.

”Thirteenth Young Master, my elder brother has been worried about you, saying that if it weren’t for your help, this century-long foundation of Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect would have truly been destroyed. After we chose the new site, we specifically sent someone to the Ghost Sect to inform you, but unfortunately, we heard you had also gone far away,” Third Brother He, meeting an old friend in a foreign place, couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

Ye Lingyue understood, presumably she had missed the message from the He Family brothers after leaving Xia Capital.

Boss He also told Ye Lingyue that her timing was unfortunate, as Boss Hong had just stepped out and would be back after a while, and currently the Treasure Cave was managed by him and Second Brother He.

”No harm done, I am here this time for Second Brother He, and I’ll visit Boss He another time when I have the chance,” Ye Lingyue said, which at first startled Third Brother He, but then he was overjoyed.

”Thirteenth Young Master, could it be Second Brother’s prosthetic limb?”

”Exactly, I honor my promises. This time, I’ve come to give Second Boss a special gift,” Ye Lingyue said with a smile.

In the Taiyi Secret Realm, she had acquired the Nirvana Cauldron.

The cauldron foot weighed over a hundred jin, and it contained a portion of Nirvana Iron. Wu Zhong, as a gesture of giving a borrowed gift, handed it over to Ye Lingyue. Seeing the deep bond between the three He brothers, Ling Yue did them a favor and promised to forge a pair of prosthetic limbs for Second Brother He when she had the chance.

Boss He and Third Brother He didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.

Unexpectedly, after several months, Hong Shisan personally came to fulfill the promise.

Third Brother He, setting aside the affairs of the underground auction, hurriedly called Second Brother He into the secret chamber.

When Second Brother He heard that Hong Shisan had forged a pair of prosthetic limbs for him, he was still a bit slow to react.

In terms of relationships, among the three He brothers, Second Brother He had the least connection with Ye Lingyue. Boss He and Third Brother He, because of their adventures in the Taiyi Secret Realm, had a closer relationship with Ye Lingyue.

The fact that the other party had gone through so much trouble to forge a pair of prosthetic limbs, purely on a promise, left Second Brother He surprised and deeply touched after learning about it.

”I refined twenty to thirty jin of Nirvana Iron from the Nirvana Cauldron. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough for forging prosthetic limbs. Here are the metal prosthetics I’ve made, Second Boss, please take a look,” Ye Lingyue said as she took out a pair of limbs.

For this pair of prosthetics, Ye Lingyue had indeed expended quite a bit of energy.

Although she had previously refined Dragon Saliva Iron and Meteorite Iron, the process of refining Nirvana Iron and forging it into prosthetic limbs was entirely new to her.

Thanks to the techniques for refining Nirvana Iron on the Hong Meng Notebook, and after repeatedly comparing them to real legs, she finally produced this pair of prosthetics.

”Is this really Nirvana Iron?” The prosthetics that Ye Lingyue presented didn’t look like they were made of metal at all. Because Nirvana Iron required countless hammerings, their original metallic luster was completely gone after the forging process.

To the touch, they felt very soft, akin to human skin, and even had fine blood vessels running through the inside. If one wasn’t looking carefully, it would be impossible to tell they were prosthetic.

What surprised Second Brother He even more was that the limbs weren’t cumbersome once worn. He only practiced walking a few steps on the ground before getting used to them.

”Second Brother, you’re standing up!” Watching Second Brother He slowly moving around, Third Brother He cried unabashedly, disregarding his image.

”What are you doing, Third Brother? You’re almost seventy, and you’re not afraid to make Thirteenth Young Master laugh at you,” Second Brother He reprimanded, but his voice also carried a hint of choking.

”Thirteenth Young Master, I, Third Brother He, rarely admire someone in this life, but you, I truly respect. You’ve helped my Second Brother stand up again; you are the He Family’s great benefactor. From now on, my life is yours, Third Brother He,” exclaimed Third Brother He, tears in his eyes, and he moved to kneel in front of Ye Lingyue, who quickly caught him by the hand.

”Third Boss, please don’t kneel. You’re older than my grandfather. You really can’t do this to me,” Ye Lingyue did not expect Third Brother He to be so emotional.

”Thirteenth Young Master, you’ve truly granted me a second lease on life. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just say the word,” Second Brother He was also full of gratitude.

His legs had been useless for decades, and up to this day, he had given up all hope, never expecting to stand again in his lifetime.

”You two seniors, don’t be so courteous. It was just a simple effort on my part. In the next while, I will help Second Boss regain his meridian flow. In about a month’s time, you should be able to fully adapt to these prosthetic limbs. Then, you will be able to walk as freely as a normal person.”

Losing over twenty jin of Nirvana Iron but, in exchange, gaining the absolute trust of three Reincarnation Realm experts—this deal was worth it!
