Liu Sandao finished speaking, wrote down a herbal prescription, and handed it to Cao Guifang.
One course of treatment would last about a week, after which adjustments could be made to the prescription based on the patient's condition and improvement, gradually leading to a complete cure.
During this week, Bai Suxiang was busy compiling interview drafts, a task assigned to her by Liu Sandao.
The company needed the deeds of each person, and so did the hospital where Li Langqing was.
"Liu Sandao, someone invited you to dinner tonight, and you must go!"
Bai Suxiang said to Liu Sandao, who had just entered, while organizing her drafts.
She had just received a call from Li Langqing, who said he had booked a table next to Guazi River Park specifically to thank Liu Sandao, as his father had recovered significantly.
Liu Sandao calculated the days; a course of treatment had just ended. Could the prescription really be effective?
As expected, when they arrived at the private room, many people were already seated.
Li Langqing and his parents, Wang Shuxiang and her father.
Liu Sandao paid no mind to the pleasantries at the dinner table. However, during their toasting, a small golden speck flew from Li Langqing's forehead to Bai Suxiang's qilin jade position.
A moment later, the small golden speck flew towards Liu Sandao again.
Liu Sandao couldn't dodge it, and it entered his body.
While handling the conversations of those at the table, he used his mind to try and discern what these light spots were.
He saw that the golden light spots, like pearls, were wandering within the body's blood vessels.
They did not integrate, nor did they harm the body.
Liu Sandao attempted to neutralize them with his cultivation techniques, but it was to no avail.
If he chased them, they ran; if he stopped chasing, they hovered there. After considerable effort and finding no harm, Liu Sandao gave up on the idea of expelling them.
Ever since failing to obtain the Fortune Fruits, Na Qianlai had believed it was due to his incomplete mastery of the Asura Dao Tribulation.
Lu Fang, on the other hand, had served him meticulously. Having returned empty-handed last time, he found himself in a difficult position with Na Qianlai and had to tread carefully.
Na Qianlai was extremely arrogant. When Lu Fang reported that he couldn't defeat the two guardian spirits, Na Qianlai seemed smug. Su Dan Novel Network.
If Lu Fang hadn't known how to flatter and appease him in a timely manner, he might have met his end then and there.
"My Lord, you summoned me?"
Lu Fang asked respectfully upon seeing Na Qianlai.
Na Qianlai had just refined some Fortune Fruits and realized how much the Asura Dao Tribulation consumed them. Fearing that his existing Fortune Fruits would eventually run out, he had to hasten his plans to acquire new ones.
"Tell me, when can those trained spirits be sent to the mortal world!"
"My Lord, these spirits can be sent at any time. However, the longer they are trained, the stronger their powers will become!"
Lu Fang said cautiously.
"Hmph! Are you mistaken? Fortune Fruits are meant to make *me* stronger, not them, do you understand?"
Na Qianlai scoffed, a look of disdain in his eyes.
Did he expect himself, the God of Death, to run around raising these useless beings?
Lu Fang was so scared he dared not say another word, merely lowering his head further.
"My Lord, I have an idea."
After a moment, Lu Fang conceived a plan.
Since acquiring Fortune Fruits was bound to encounter resistance, he reasoned that while Sandong City had Liu Sandao, other cities might not. Across China, there were many places suitable for spirits to be deployed. By simply choosing a few cities and deploying some spirits, the probability of success would naturally increase.
"We'll place one in every city in China. I don't believe that no matter how divine Liu Sandao is, he can appear in so many places at once!"
Lu Fang proposed.
Na Qianlai quickly understood Lu Fang's idea. It was a good plan, but it was a costly endeavor, and he wasn't inclined to undertake it lightly.
He had encountered minor deities in other cities before, some of whom were quite formidable. These trained spirits might not necessarily be their match.
"Hmph! Does doing things come without cost? Be more economical. Send out five first. As for which cities, I think we should choose this one, this one, and also..."
Na Qianlai said, pointing to a map on his desk.
It was a map of China, which Na Qianlai often looked at when he had free time.
He had a persistent feeling that this was the starting point for him to achieve something great, and that time was fast approaching.
With Na Qianlai's approval, Lu Fang took the order to deploy.
He already had a plan for how to select the targets.
Starting with the Fortune Fruits brought back by Na Qianlai, he could find the corresponding individuals through those Fortune Roots. Lu Fang had also refined some of these Fortune Fruits as a reward from Na Qianlai.
Although they felt similar, they ultimately lacked the true aura of the original Fortune Fruits, feeling full but not substantial.
Lu Fang had pondered this for a long time and saw this as an opportunity to verify his conjecture.
After selecting five spirits, he casually picked a few Fortune Roots from the cultivation tray. He then poured a spoonful of the liquid surrounding each Fortune Root into the mouths of each spirit.
Different spirits received liquids from different Fortune Roots.
Afterward, he instructed them to venture into the mortal world and showcase their talents.
Sandong City was indispensable; it was a critical link in this mission. As long as it could attract Liu Sandao's attention, the mission of the spirits in other cities would proceed smoothly.
These matters had already been discussed with Na Qianlai. If the spirits encountered resistance while trying to collect Fortune Fruits, they would send a signal.
This would allow Na Qianlai to retrieve the Fortune Fruits.
Na Qianlai's agreement was also due to the fact that within this Asura realm, his power was the greatest.
The spirit assigned to Sandong City was designated as Spirit Number Two.
It was thin and weak, looking as if it had starved to death in its previous life. The only thing that drew attention was its constant, foolish laughter.
Its foolish demeanor caused even Lu Fang to look at it twice.
"Go! You idiot, your target is Sandong City. Remember the mission; if you fail, you're finished!"
Lu Fang cursed at it as it departed.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Spirit Number Two received the order and set off.
It had few memories of how people lived in the mortal world. The most it remembered was water, constantly drinking water until it reached the place it had just emerged from.
Spirit Number Two had a natural affinity for water. As the saying goes, one lives off the mountains and waters they inhabit. Spirit Number Two, lacking any other skills, followed the waterways to Sandong City.
Whether it was actually Sandong City was not entirely important; the crucial part was completing the mission.
If it failed, it would be thrown back into the cultivation tray and become food for other spirits. Thinking of this, it quickly determined its objective.
