Ye Fan could clearly feel that a vortex seemed to be slowly rotating within his Dantian, and as the vortex spun, it continuously absorbed the cold energy.
What was going on?
Ye Fan thought to himself, but he couldn't figure it out.
He had practiced martial arts and knew that for a martial artist to advance further, they would cultivate true qi within their bodies. Once they had true qi, injuring others with it would be far more powerful than ordinary martial artists' fists and kicks.
However, Ye Fan had only heard a little about these things and didn't know how to cultivate them.
But the feeling he had today shocked him.
Could it be that he was about to get lucky?
Seeing Ye Fan place Li Wanying gently on the bed, Elder Lei and City Lord Li hurried in.
"City Lord Li, please remain calm. I need to take your daughter's pulse. Do not disturb me."
Ye Fan said this without turning his head, and then he pressed Li Wanying's wrist.
The sensation of the cold energy entering his body was still present. Ye Fan slowly closed his eyes, feeling the cold energy flow through his body and finally into his Dantian.
Although it was very cold, Ye Fan felt extremely comfortable. Especially as the cold energy flowed through his meridians, it felt as if every part of his body had been completely unblocked. This unhindered feeling made him feel full of strength.
As the cold energy entered his body, Li Wanying, lying on the bed, gradually began to regain a rosy complexion.
Before, her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, giving a terrifying impression.
But now, as her complexion gradually turned rosy, the girl, like a sleeping beauty, appeared so pitiable.
Li Wanying was very beautiful, with a delicate and refined appearance. Unlike the charming allure of mature women, she possessed a youthful radiance.
Lying on the bed, her long, beautiful eyes moved occasionally, and a slight curve on her lips suggested she was feeling comfortable.
Seeing her daughter's complexion gradually regain its color, City Lord Li was first shocked. He knew that ever since his daughter fell ill, he had consulted countless famous doctors, but none of them could do anything. Let alone restore his daughter's complexion to normal, even making her calm required medication.
No one had ever been able to make his daughter fall asleep with just a silver needle like Ye Fan.
Moreover, at this moment, his daughter's lips even showed a hint of a smile.
He knew that his daughter had never smiled since she fell ill.
Seeing his daughter sleeping peacefully and calmly, City Lord Li felt even more relieved.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Ye Fan slowly withdrew his hand.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue treating Li Wanying, but rather that his body's capacity had its limits.
At this moment, Ye Fan was like a mobile icehouse, emitting waves of coldness from within.
Even Elder Lei and City Lord Li couldn't help but shiver.
"I didn't expect this cold energy to be so potent. I almost couldn't bear it."
At this moment, Elder Lei and City Lord Li also felt something unusual. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped significantly.
Furthermore, faint white mist was rising from Ye Fan's body.
Ye Fan ignored the two of them and quickly found a corner to sit cross-legged, feeling the changes in his body.
As for the cold energy that entered Ye Fan's body, it coursed through his meridians and rushed directly towards his Dantian.
His meridians had been unblocked, and he would undoubtedly become a martial arts master in the future.
Elder Lei and City Lord Li exchanged glances. Seeing Ye Fan close his eyes and remain silent, they also cooperated by not asking any questions.
It was only after another half hour, as the room was filled with chilling cold, that Ye Fan finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Let's talk outside," Ye Fan said to City Lord Li.
City Lord Li nodded. He also wanted to ask Ye Fan what exactly was going on.
Coming out to the pavilion, Ye Fan felt the long-lost warmth as the sunlight shone down.
"Mr. Ye, have you made any progress in curing my daughter's illness?" City Lord Li asked urgently, seeing that Ye Fan's complexion had recovered somewhat.
Ye Fan smiled faintly, "It's much better than expected. Your daughter's condition is due to Yin energy entering her body, causing mental confusion. She will be fully recovered once the Yin energy within her body is absorbed."
This was Ye Fan's first time encountering such a condition.
Although he didn't know what in his body was absorbing the Yin energy, absorbing this Yin energy was beneficial to him and not harmful.
At the very least, it was cleansing his marrow and making his body's power stronger.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, City Lord Li's anxious heart finally settled.
His daughter's recovery was more important than anything else.
He quickly rose, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
City Lord Li bowed respectfully, his expression sincere and his attitude earnest.
Finally being able to cure his daughter's illness made him want to laugh in his dreams.
Ye Fan nodded and waved for City Lord Li to sit down.
"Although your daughter's illness can be cured, she has been suffering greatly for a while, so she needs to supplement her nutrition. Moreover, although the treatment today is initial, this situation cannot be resolved overnight. Further treatment is still necessary, so City Lord Li must not be careless."
Ye Fan was stating facts. Given his current body's tolerance, he would need to absorb Yin energy from Li Wanying at least two more times to fully clear it.
City Lord Li nodded heavily. He knew that such an illness couldn't be cured instantly. However, since Ye Fan could cure his daughter, he, as a father, truly dared not act carelessly.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I will never forget your great kindness. If you ever need anything in the future, I will surely repay you."
For the esteemed City Lord to say such words indicated how much he valued this favor.
And Ye Fan was waiting for this very statement.
He smiled faintly, "To be honest, I came today for two reasons: one is to treat your daughter, and the other is to discuss a path to wealth with City Lord Li."
Regardless of whether City Lord Li was greedy for money, when money came his way, he would never push it away completely.
City Lord Li was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Li?"
He wasn't foolish. Ye Fan had come personally and actively treated his daughter. If he said he had no ulterior motive, City Lord Li wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Ye Fan smiled again. "I am new here and have had some conflict with the City Lord's manor. Furthermore, I was arrested by people from the City Lord's manor a few days ago and discovered they were forging porcelain. This practice has seriously affected the rules of the Jiangnan antique market. Therefore, I specifically invited Elder Lei to preside over justice. However, Elder Lei also has concerns, as the Heavenly King's Manor is not a small entity. So, everything will depend on your esteemed self, City Lord."
Ye Fan had made his intentions clear. To deal with the Heavenly King's Manor, City Lord Li's approval was necessary; otherwise, Ye Fan would be powerless.
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, City Lord Li nodded faintly. "I see. I have long heard that the Heavenly King's Manor has been arrogant and overbearing in the antique circle all these years, but I have never had sufficient evidence. Now that Mr. Ye has evidence, this City Lord will naturally not stand idly by. If they are not taught a lesson, they will truly believe that in Jiangnan City, their City Lord's Manor can act with impunity."
