Longzhu, upon receiving Zhang Wuwei's second confirmation, was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha! As expected of Lin Xiao! As expected of the next Dragon Lord!"
After a moment of laughter, he quickly asked, "Is there any danger to his life?"
"If it were anyone else, they would surely be dead. However, this Lin Xiao's vitality is exceptionally tenacious. I've given him a medicinal pill. I'll take him to my senior brother to be looked after properly. Perhaps a week will be enough."
As Zhang Wuwei spoke, he recalled that the last time he had personally intervened, Lin Xiao was able to walk again in just a day or two. Perhaps the week he mentioned was being overly conservative.
"Good! That's good. I'll inform his family, tell them he's gone on a temporary business trip." Longzhu knew very well that Lin Xiao's greatest concerns were his wife and daughters at home. He decided to help relay a message of safety to them.
...
Lin Xiao felt his body was immensely heavy, as if something was pressing down on him, making his breathing extremely difficult.
He felt as though he were in a warm pool, the water soothing and comfortable.
But soon, the figure of his wife seemed to appear before his eyes.
"Qinghan!"
Lin Xiao called out, but the figure didn't respond. It turned as if to leave.
"Qinghan?!"
Lin Xiao's heart tightened. He realized it wasn't Luo Qinghan who was leaving, but rather he was drifting further away from her. He couldn't control his body.
He desperately reached out, trying to grasp Luo Qinghan's hand.
"Lin Xiao, you are indeed a devoted lover."
Luo Qinghan seemed to speak, but why did the voice sound like a man's?
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a face.
The Old Celestial Master.
"Lin Xiao, you're awake."
The Old Celestial Master stroked his beard. "Your body is recovering at an astonishing speed. In all my years, I've seen countless injured individuals, yet only your body recovers in one day what others take ten days to achieve. I don't know how you manage it."
"Old Celestial Master... Is this Longhu Mountain?"
Lin Xiao slowly shifted his body. He then realized he was indeed in water, or rather, in a large bathtub filled with medicinal liquid.
"Yes. Your injuries were too severe. Ordinary modern medicine couldn't guarantee your complete recovery, so only this old Taoist could intervene." The Old Celestial Master nodded. "However, it seems we worried too much. With your self-healing ability, you would have recovered within a month even without medical attention."
This was not the first time he had witnessed Lin Xiao's self-healing power.
In a century, he had only seen one person, Lin Xiao, with such a capability.
Furthermore, while Lin Xiao was unconscious, his body absorbed the medicinal liquid in the bathtub at an incredibly rapid rate. The liquid had already been replaced ten times.
What normally required replacement once a day was now needing a change every two hours due to Lin Xiao's absorption, otherwise, only clear water would remain.
And his body's recovery speed was even faster than last time.
His meridians were still in the process of healing, but his dantian was normal, and the wounds on his internal organs were likely completely gone.
As for his bones, they would require a little more time.
