Driven by compassion, the two healers did not hesitate and immediately decided to embark on their journey to find the snow lotus. They packed their belongings quickly, taking only essential medicines and weapons, and bid farewell to the small town, heading towards the unknown, frigid land. Along the way, they traversed mountains and valleys, enduring countless hardships. The biting wind cut like knives, and their food and water gradually ran out, but they held only one belief in their hearts—to save the sick.
Finally, they arrived at the legendary land of extreme cold. Here, the snow was pristine, the wind howled, and the temperature was so low that every breath they took instantly froze into icy mist. As soon as they stepped onto this land, a deep roar echoed, and a massive snow beast leaped out from behind a snow slope. Its body was pure white, its eyes flashed with a fierce red light, and its sharp claws carved deep grooves in the snow as it lunged at them, baring its fangs and claws.
Ye Jiuchen swiftly drew his sword, its blade gleaming coldly, and engaged in fierce combat with the snow beast. His movements were agile, his swordplay sharp and swift, each swing carrying the force of a whirlwind. The snow beast dodged with agility, constantly seeking openings to attack; for a moment, snowflakes flew, and the cold light and the beast's shadow clashed. Su Jinran, taking advantage of a lull in the fighting, carefully searched the surrounding area for snow lotus. The biting wind was like a knife, numbing her hands and feet, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, not overlooking any corner.
After a long and fierce battle, Ye Jiuchen, relying on his superb martial arts and unwavering will, successfully repelled the snow beast. The snow beast roared unwillingly a few times before turning and disappearing into the vast snowfield. At the same time, Su Jinran discovered the precious snow lotus on the edge of a cliff. She carefully picked the snow lotus, placed it in her bosom, and joined Ye Jiuchen. Filled with the joy of victory and exhaustion, they hurried back to the clinic.
Back at the clinic, they carefully brewed the snow lotus with other medicinal herbs, following the old man's instructions, and fed it to the patient. As time passed, a miracle occurred: the dark spots on the patient's body gradually faded, his breathing became increasingly stable, and he eventually recovered. The patient and his family were overwhelmed with gratitude, and the entire town cheered.
After this incident, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen deeply realized that there were still many unknown diseases in the world waiting to be explored. They decided to devote themselves even more to studying medicine and constantly improve themselves. At the same time, upholding their original intention of chivalry, they continued to help the people and protect the world's peace and well-being with their benevolent hearts and skillful hands.
After the dramatic incident at the medical clinic subsided, the names Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys. People everywhere raved about their miraculous healing skills, and patients from all over, hearing of their deeds, felt as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness, flocking to the clinic from afar. The once quiet and secluded clinic suddenly became bustling with activity. The threshold was practically worn down, and the line of patients stretched from the clinic's lobby to the street outside, seemingly endless.
Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran began their work before dawn every day and only stopped when night fell. They moved among the patients, examining them, inquiring about their symptoms, prescribing medicine, and dispensing remedies, so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water. However, as patients continued to arrive, some difficult and complicated cases also came their way.
One day, a pale-faced boy entered the clinic. Supported by his family, he walked unsteadily, each step seemingly requiring all his strength. The boy suffered from a strange illness, and his very breath was failing. When Ye Jiuchen took his pulse, he found it to be chaotic and irregular, like a tangled mess. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the boy's meridians were disordered, as if twisted by an invisible hand, his life force flickering in a storm, on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran frowned deeply, knowing how intractable this illness was. In the days that followed, they spent their days immersed in the clinic's library, perusing countless medical books. The yellowed ancient texts were turned page after page, the pages rustling under their fingers, raising a light dusting. They searched for any possible clues in this vast sea of medical texts, leaving no detail overlooked. Moreover, they tried various treatments: acupuncture, massage, internal and external herbal remedies… each method was performed with utmost care, each observation meticulous. However, all their efforts seemed to sink without a trace; the boy's condition showed no sign of improvement.
Just when they were feeling desperate and almost ready to give up, a mysterious passerby quietly arrived at the clinic. This passerby was cloaked in black, his face hidden in shadow, making it impossible to see his features. He lingered briefly at the clinic, leaving behind a subtle clue, before hastily departing. The clue pointed to the depths of a distant, misty forest, where a magical fruit was said to grow, perhaps capable of saving the boy's life.
Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes. Without hesitation, they quickly packed their belongings and embarked on their unknown journey once more. The moment they stepped into the Misty Forest, it was as if they had entered a mysterious, secluded world. A thick fog, like a veil, enveloped the entire forest, obscuring everything in white and making it impossible to discern directions. Various strange creatures appeared intermittently, some enormous, emitting deafening roars; others small and agile, yet carrying deadly venom. Moreover, numerous illusions interfered with their minds; a moment's carelessness could plunge them into hallucinations and cause them to lose themselves.
Having endured countless trials in their search for the Snow Lotus, their will was stronger, and their hearts more resilient. Ye Jiuchen, sword in hand, vigilantly surveyed their surroundings, clearing a path for Su Jinran; Su Jinran, relying on her keen senses, carefully avoided various dangers. Supporting each other, they trudged step by step deeper into the forest. Along the way, they faced countless perils and overcame numerous difficulties. Finally, in the heart of the forest, they discovered the legendary Spirit Fruit Tree. The spirit fruits on the tree emitted a soft glow, seemingly containing boundless vitality.
They rushed back to the clinic with the spiritual fruit and immediately began treating the boy. As soon as the fruit was fed to him, a miraculous thing happened. The boy's previously disordered breathing gradually stabilized, and his disordered meridians slowly returned to their proper positions. A few days later, the boy's complexion regained its rosy hue, and he was once again full of life and vitality.
After this incident, Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran understood even more deeply that the world's diseases are endless, and the path of medical exploration is also without end. But they were not afraid and would always uphold the benevolence of doctors, steadfastly walking on this challenging path, using their medical skills to save more lives.
