After shaking away the white snow, Ling Yi set up protective restrictions around the area, then sat down cross-legged, preparing to refine the Broken Jade Pill.
Although the situation was urgent, Ling Yi was still confident.
After all, I have accumulated a lot of experience in refining the Qi Refining Realm when refining the Shengyang Pill, and my current level of cultivation is one level higher than before, so the chance of success should be very high.
Putting aside his thoughts, Ling Yi stretched out his palm and snapped his fingers. A ball of flame immediately appeared in front of Ling Yi, hanging in the air and burning spontaneously.
Seeing this, Ling Yi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Then he concentrated on alert and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to refining the Broken Jade Pill...

Meanwhile, the hospital emergency ward.
The attending doctor Wang Chen told Qi Shiyun: "From now on, you can't eat or drink water. The operation is scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon. I want to explain the risks of the operation to you. If there is no problem, you need to sign. The child's As for father, it's best to let him sign."
"He went out... to raise money." Qi Shiyun actually didn't know why Ling Yi was there, but she hoped that he was running around for a small operation fee.
"Why are you raising money at this time? Shouldn't you be with your daughter? Forget it, come and talk and sign."
…
In the doctor's office, Qi Shiyun's whole back was wet after listening to Wang Chen's description of various possible risks.
There was even a moment when she thought that if she didn't have the surgery, she would at least be alive.
She really wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but found that she had no one to discuss it with.
The man who was supposed to be the backbone of the family disappeared as before. As for her parents' house, she didn't even dare to make a phone call.
Over the years, I have always faced difficulties alone, and this time is no exception.
But this time her hatred for Ling Yi was far greater than before. If it weren't for Ling Yi's gambling and loan sharking, her daughter wouldn't have had her legs broken by Zhang Kai!
After much hesitation, Qi Shiyun picked up the pen and wrote her name on the informed consent form.
The moment she put down her pen, she felt like she was carrying her daughter's life on her body. The heavy burden made her breathless.
She didn't even know how she got back to the ward. It wasn't until her daughter shook her arm and asked her, "When will daddy come back?" that she came back to reality as if she was awake from a dream.
Qi Shiyun didn't know how to answer Xiaoxiao, so she forced a smile and said, "I don't know, it should be soon."
As a result, the wait lasted from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The nurse had already sent surgical clothes and asked Qi Shiyun to help Xiaoxiao change into them. She also said that she would pick her up in ten minutes and the surgery would be on time at three o'clock.
Xiaoxiao, who had changed into surgical clothes, looked depressed and looked at the door eagerly, waiting for his father's arrival.
But until the nurse pushed the wheelchair, Xiaoxiao didn't see his father.
Although his face was full of disappointment, Xiaoxiao did not complain. He just sat quietly in the wheelchair without saying a word, which was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Seeing this scene, Qi Shiyun felt distressed again and blamed Ling Yi for not coming back.
As for Ling Yi telling her to remember not to let Xiaoxiao enter the operating room until she came back, she had already forgotten it.
While waiting for the door of the operating room to open, Qi Shiyun held her little hand and said words of encouragement, but tears kept rolling in her eyes.
It was obviously Ling Yi's fault, why should Xiaoxiao bear the responsibility?
Especially when she thought of the risks Wang Chen mentioned, Qi Shiyun felt as painful as being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and her hatred for Ling Yi couldn't stop rising.
Poor Xiaoxiao is still so young and doesn't understand that the pain she is suffering now is all caused by her father. She is still eagerly looking forward to her father's arrival.
Qi Shiyun felt suffocated when she thought of this.
As for Ling Yi's pretentious delivery of food these past few days, she didn't think it was because Ling Yi had changed, but she always thought it was because Ling Yi was brewing some bigger conspiracy.
The door to the operating room opened, and the nurse pushed Xiaoxiao in. When the door closed, Qi Shiyun burst into tears, while Xiaoxiao stubbornly turned her head and looked longingly towards the entrance of the corridor.
Seeing that the door was about to close, Xiaoxiao no longer had any hope and turned around with his head lowered, his face full of frustration.
"Wait a moment!"
A familiar voice suddenly came, and Xiaoxiao and Qi Shiyun looked back at the same time, only to see Ling Yi running toward the operating room with sweat on his face.
He was still covered in mud, as if he had rolled in the snow.
"Dad!" Xiaoxiao grabbed the back of the wheelchair with his hands and shouted excitedly.
When the nurse saw this, she reopened the door of the operating room in a humane manner and pushed Xiaoxiao out again - it doesn't really matter if she is a minute or two late.
Ling Yi used his last bit of strength to run in front of Xiaoxiao. He could no longer stand and collapsed directly on the ground. In order to ensure that he could refine the Broken Jade Pill, Ling Yi had exhausted all his spiritual energy and his body was extremely weak.
But in the wilderness, it was impossible to stop a car, so he almost rolled and crawled before running to the nearby road.
Fortunately, I caught up.
He did not blame Qi Shiyun for not listening to him, but took out a dark and shiny elixir from his arms and handed it to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, if you take it, you won't need surgery."
"No, you can't eat before the operation, otherwise it may cause suffocation after general anesthesia." The nurse stopped him immediately.
She now regretted opening the door and pushing Xiaoxiao out. How could she meet such a parent who didn't understand common sense? Did he want to kill his daughter?
"Ling Yi, what are you doing? I thought you had changed your gender by delivering meals every day, but in the end, you still wanted to prevent your daughter from having the operation! Are you so unwilling to see your daughter's limbs intact?"
Qi Shiyun became angry and pulled Ling Yi back by his collar, hoping to pull him away from his small body.
The family members of the patients waiting around them pointed at Ling Yi with disdain on their faces.
"Ah? You can't eat?" Ling Yi pretended not to understand, and then the hostility of those people disappeared.
Both the nurse and Qi Shiyun looked embarrassed, feeling that they had misunderstood Ling Yi.
Ling Yi didn't care, and put the Broken Jade Pill in Xiao Xiao's hand: "Then just hold it in your hand, as if your father is accompanying you."
After saying that, Ling Yi looked at the nurse and asked, "Is this okay?"
The nurse hesitated for a while, thinking that this was also a sign of affection, so she didn't stop her. Anyway, after a while of general anesthesia, the little guy will fall asleep, and he can put away the 'chocolate beans' temporarily without affecting the operation.
Xiaoxiao held the broken jade pill and was very happy: "Thank you dad for the chocolate beans."
"..." Ling Yi's face was filled with dark lines. This bone-setting elixir is worth more than tens of millions in the secular world. Do you call it chocolate beans?
Okay, it's whatever you say it is.
After Xiaoxiao re-entered the door of the operating room, Ling Yi used his last bit of energy to light a stream of spiritual energy on the Broken Jade Pill. In this way, even if Xiaoxiao did not take it orally, he could absorb the pill through his palms.
After entering the operating room, looking at the long corridor, the three-year-old Xiaoxiao was finally scared. He squeezed the 'chocolate beans' given by his father tightly and did not dare to let go for a moment.
What she didn't know was that the 'chocolate bean' had already sunk into her palm and was subtly healing her knee joint...
