Chapter 69 The Nurse Qing Zhui (1/2)

Qing Zhui was asleep and did not wake up, so she had no idea that Ning Tao had left her room and then returned.

Ning Tao came to her bedside with the rotten, broken tripod in his arms and put the small scalpel, disinfectant alcohol, gauze used to stop bleeding and other things in it on a plate. After getting ready, he reached out and took off Qing Zhui's cyan gauze dress...

The beauty burst upon his vision, like a mist over a snowfield dispersed by the sun.

Ning Tao did not know where to look and had a salty sensation in his nose. He reached over and wiped his nose. The next second, he was speechless on the spot. He was bleeding.

”I am a doctor, and she's my patient.” Ning Tao hinted to himself. Then he took a deep breath. As he calmed down, he started to operate on Qing Zhui.

Wiping Qing Zhui's skin with cotton swabs, sterilizing the scalpel, and sealing Qing Zhui's blood vessels with silver needles. Ning Tao finished the whole thing expertly.

When everything was ready, Ning Tao picked up the scalpel, pinned Qing Zhui's waist, and then cut an incision around her tailbone with the scalpel.

This was Ning Tao's first surgery, so it was hard for him to avoid being nervous. In fact, it wasn't just the surgery itself that made him nervous. Having never had a girlfriend, he found it difficult to see the private parts of women.

But no matter how difficult it was, he had to control himself.

It was not a complicated operation. Assisted by the skills of looking and smelling, Ning Tao soon removed the demon bone attached to Qing Zhui's tailbone. It was attached to the tailbone by a layer of periosteum, so it was inevitable to cut open the periosteum during the operation. Fortunately, with Ning Tao's ability, it was a piece of cake for him to restore that little bit of periosteum for her.

The demon bone that was taken out was really in the shape of a snake, with a head, body, and tail. It was, indeed, black, with several cracks in it, and a faint rancid smell that only a corpse could have. Based on what he could see with his eyes, Ning Tao was convinced that she had less than three months to live.

As soon as the demon bone was taken out, Qing Zhui's breath of life immediately weakened to the extreme. A moment before she had fallen into a stupor under the influence of the Sacred Needles, and now she was unconscious.

Ning Tao didn't dare waste time. He put the demon bone into the rotten, broken tripod, then sat cross-legged beside the tripod, released the alchemy fire, and stuck his hands on the wall of the tripod for refining.

Boom!

The black and white alchemy fire rose from the rotten, broken tripod and engulfed Qing Zhui's demon bone. Now, Ning Tao couldn't see it at all.

Humming...

A hum came from the rotten broken tripod, like the chanting of hundreds of monks at the same time.

Ning Tao's spiritual power was consuming fast. He felt more tired every second than the last second, but he had no way out. He could only hold on, with clenched teeth.

In fact, he was not as sure about the operation as he said. In other words, there were some risks associated with this operation. The risk did not lie in the plan of repairing Qing Zhui's demon bone with the rotten broken tripod, because the rotten broken tripod itself was a professional repairman. The risk was on him. His spiritual power was not reliable, and if Qing Zhui's demon bone was not repaired this time, things would be wrong, and he might have to do a second operation on her.

There were risks in everything, anyway. Family members of patients were required to sign a consent form for any operation at the hospital. The doctor informed the patient's family about the risk, and the family agreed and signed off before the doctor performed the surgery.

Humming...

The hum of the tripod echoed in the quiet room. It started with a high frequency, and a few minutes, the rate decreased, and the black and white alchemy fire in the tripod also began to weaken.

Ning Tao got intense, thinking, ”I can't hold out much longer. If only I can mend her demon bone, or I'll be in trouble.”

Suddenly, something seemed to fly into the rotten broken tripod.

Humming...

The frequency had increased a little bit.

This change surprised Ning Tao. He looked over. When his eyes entered the state of looking, he immediately saw wisps of spiritual energy coming from under Qing Zhui's bed into the rotten broken tripod like a moth to a flame.

The rotten broken tripod could even absorb spiritual energy!

This new discovery excited Ning Tao so much that he came up with a new idea to use the rotten broken tripod. Next time he could find a place full of spiritual energy to fix things. This way, not only would he feel much more comfortable, but things would also be better mended!

There was spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which could breed all things. If a place was abundant in spiritual energy, then that place would produce outstanding people—that was to say, a right place provided remarkable people. Although mankind was known as the original part of the universe, that was quite different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there would be no mankind.

Then Ning Tao made another discovery. There was a source of the spiritual energy coming from under the bed, which was right in the direction of the pool.

With a flash of insight, Ning Tao wondered, ”Bai Jing said Qing Zhui needed to stay in a place full of spiritual energy to survive. There is spiritual energy in this place, but the source isn't here. The mustached vendor said he got those fragments from a pool. Is there a secret under that pool? After the operation, I'm going to the pool!”

Wisps of spiritual energy flew into the rotten broken tripod, which made the following refining and repair much more accessible. After a few minutes, the alchemy fire in the tripod automatically extinguished, and the moment it went out, a light like moonlight shone in the tripod.

It was Qing Zhui's demon bone. Before repair, it rotted and blackened, with cracks in it, but now in the rotten broken tripod lay a crystal clear demon bone covered with spiritual energy. It was even better than the healthy Bai Jing's demon bone!

The result gave Ning Tao a deep sigh of relief and congratulated him on not taking the demon bone back to the Sky Clinic for refining and repairing. Because the Sky Clinic only had the energy of good and evil but had no spiritual energy. Even if the demon bone was repaired in the clinic, it would not be as good as it was fixed here.

Ning Tao picked up the demon bone, went back to the bed, and put it on Qing Zhui's tailbone. When that demon bone returned to Qing Zhui's body, Qing Zhui's breath of life suddenly strengthened. What was even weirder was that her flesh even actively wrapped the demon bone.

After all, she was a demon, different from human beings.

Ning Tao sewed up the wound with a needle and thread, and then pulled out the Sacred Needles that blocked off the blood vessels. Then he launched his extraordinary spiritual power to heal the wound, helping flesh and blood grow together with the demon bone. Finally, he gathered up all his stuff, opened the blood lock on the wall, and returned to the Sky Clinic. After putting the rotten broken tripod and surgical supplies in the clinic, he went back to Qing Zhui's room. This time, he wiped the blood lock off the wall.

When the Sacred Needles on the back of her head was pulled out, Qing Zhui instantly let out a painful groan, and her eyes opened. She looked back and saw Ning Tao standing by the bed.

”I... Ouch!” Qing Zhui seemed to want to say something, but the pain hit her so hard that she couldn't help exclaiming, ”Ouch!”

”Qing Zhui, what's wrong with you?” Bai Jing's voice sounded outside the door.

Ning Tao went to the door, removed the chair, and opened the door.

Bai Jing rushed in eagerly and went straight to the bed.
