The only thing that required him to rest was mental. The frequent and continuous intense work left him mentally exhausted, which was the real reason for his need to rest.
Lin Yao didn't go to sleep immediately because he was still somewhat excited. After treating a hundred disabled children, Lin Yao was finally able to calm down and summarize his experience. This model of wholeheartedly combining Western medical methods to treat diseases had opened a door for Lin Yao. He had never imagined that ancient Chinese medicine and his own medical qi could be combined with Western medicine to achieve such remarkable results.
"This place is terrible. There's no internet access, and not even a GPRS phone model. We can only make simple phone calls. Otherwise, it would be so much better to have a laptop to access the internet and find out what other Western medical methods we can use." Lin Yao cursed the remoteness of the garment factory and the lack of cell phone signal. He then undressed, went to bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yao slept for a full twelve hours. When he woke up, the sky was still bright, but it was already 10 a.m. the next day.
Upon opening the door, Lin Yao was surprised to find Yi Fei standing right there, and immediately felt a pang of self-reproach.
Lin Yao didn't blame himself for not considering Yi Fei's hard work and fatigue and asking him to guard the door for him. Instead, he felt that he had been too careless. He didn't check the situation outside the door before opening it. What if there was danger outside?
During my free time and work these days, I've heard a lot about the Yi family. Some of it came from Yi Fei, some from the forthright Yi Guoguo, who was ordered by Yi Fei to help the young guest elders understand the situation so they could better protect them in the future. Others came from conversations Lin Yao had with the disabled children while he was getting treatment.
From the rise and fall and struggles of the Yi family, Lin Yao learned a lot. The world was not as peaceful as it appeared. Some things hidden beneath the surface and things far removed from the work and life of ordinary people broadened Lin Yao's horizons and made him more aware of the potential crises that might follow.
"To possess a treasure is to be guilty" is truly a timeless proverb!
As a capable individual, he was naturally a highly sought-after figure by various powerful families and organizations. With the rise of the Luo family, the crises he would face would be even greater, and his parents' safety would need to be reconsidered. The Yi family had even planned that after this family gathering, two mid-stage Earth-level experts would provide long-term protection for Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei. It was only because of this Yi family scion's ability to directly confront top-stage Earth-level experts from other families that Lin Yao felt somewhat at ease.
Only by enhancing the Yi family's strength as soon as possible can Lin Yao better protect himself and his family. He made the right decision.
Lin Yao was well aware that he was capable enough to protect himself, but none of the Yi family members, from top to bottom, knew this, and Lin Yao didn't rush to let them know.
Having a super expert by your side is not bad either. At least you have another valuable free test subject. Lin Yao has many ideas that need to be verified on Yi Fei, such as testing the stimulation and nourishment of various medicinal energies on the body of experts, and testing the reaction of experts' true energy to poison gas, in order to find the fastest and most effective poison killing method.
Whenever Lin Yao unconsciously revealed a strange look in his eyes, Yi Fei felt a chill run down his spine. This made Yi Fei even more convinced that his previous judgment was correct. This young elder was a master, no less skilled than himself, because at this moment he was looking at him with the same eyes one would use to look at a white rabbit on an autopsy table.
Lin Yao didn't complain about the mess in the pharmacy, as if he hadn't even asked Yi Fei to tidy it up. Closing the door, Lin Yao began refining pills.
The pseudo-cinnabar fire changed color, no longer the bright red it used to be, but a bright incandescent color with only a faint red glow.
Lin Yao clearly felt that the pseudo-elixir fire had improved. He didn't know if it was because the nurturing time had lasted for more than half a month, or because his previous cultivation technique had made a breakthrough. In any case, this incandescent pseudo-elixir fire should be stronger.
The pseudo-elixir fire, now in a different color, was indeed more effective. The medicinal herbs placed in the furnace were refined in a shorter time. Herbs that were usually difficult to refine were melted and refined at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became a pool of liquid at the bottom of the furnace, which Lin Yao quickly kneaded into pills.
"Tianxiang Xugu Dan", twelve pills.
Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised. He felt that this time, using the same amount of pseudo-dan fire, the medicinal fruits produced far exceeded those of before. Last time, he produced six, but this time he produced twelve, a full doubling of the previous yield. Moreover, the time taken was less than a third of what it used to be. Sure enough, his cultivation level had improved. Lin Yao was happy to himself, but at the same time, he was a little frustrated that he couldn't share this joy with others. He couldn't tell anyone about the details of the pill refining process.
"Life-Giving Pill", 351 pills.
"Dragon and Tiger Pills", 322 pills.
"Baiyun Dan", 765 pills.
Having exhausted the pseudo-elixir fire he had nurtured for so long, leaving only a small seed for it to continue growing, Lin Yao felt a surge of exhilaration. He realized he had become a master alchemist, practically able to sell his alchemy in bulk. This high-yield and high-efficiency alchemy was unimaginable before. This time, the pseudo-elixir fire seemed inexhaustible; the total amount appeared small, but it always seemed to generate a considerable amount out of thin air. Or rather, the proportion consumed in alchemy was far less than he had perceived. This was indeed a benefit of his improved cultivation level.
Looking at the sacks of rice, flour, and potatoes in the pharmacy, Lin Yao sighed and pretended to be disappointed as he muttered to himself, "Forget it, I'm not going to refine the 'Bigu Pill' anymore. I'd rather spend this time eating a few more meals. Besides, there's the pleasure of tasting delicious food when you eat."
After saying that, the pretentious Lin Yao laughed to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Two days later, the second batch of disabled children from the Yi family arrived in Chengdu. This time, Lin Yao did not personally pick them up, but only arranged for Yi Guoguo to accompany Ge Yong.
Although the second batch of children were not in as severe a condition as the first, most of them had also lost their ability to move around. When they were carried off the minibus one by one, gathered at the factory gate, and then carried in batches to the dormitory area, they were shocked by the lively scene in the dormitory area, and everyone shed tears.
Here, the first batch of disciples, who were originally in even worse condition than them, were running around laughing, practicing boxing, or engaging in simple sparring, relying on their own abilities. This long-lost feeling was their greatest expectation at this moment. Recalling the instructions given by the elders before leaving Yi Family Town, these disciples looked around in unison, searching for the figure that the elders had instructed them to treat as the Grand Elder.
The first and second groups of children passed each other with a clear distinction. Of course, the second group of children were riding on other people's backs as they passed through the area where the first group of children were active. They all consciously refrained from greeting each other. However, one group had a determined look in their eyes, while the other group's eyes were full of encouragement.
With the advent of the new "integrated Chinese and Western medicine therapy" and the newly refined elixirs, Lin Yao found it much easier to treat the second batch of disabled children. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the first batch of children were originally the most severely ill patients. However, the fact that he was able to complete the initial treatment of all one hundred people in two days still showed that Lin Yao's abilities had improved.
"Sir, sir, I've mastered true qi! I can practice martial arts now!"
Lin Yao had just finished treating the second batch of students and stepped out of the dormitory area when he heard a joyful shout from his left. Turning around, he saw Yi Liang, that little guy, rushing towards him.
Yi Liang has big, dark, and bright eyes. Although he's skin and bones, his facial features and forehead are quite good. He'll probably be a handsome young man once he recovers. Yi Liang has a cheerful personality and is very determined, which Lin Yao admires. He even feels that Yi Liang is somewhat similar to his son, Lili, so he treats him specially. The little guy can also sense that his teacher likes him, so unlike the other students who simply admire and respect Lin Yao, he acts much more casually.
"Not bad, not bad, our little Yi Liang is a genius, he will definitely be a master in the future." Lin Yao put his arm around Yi Liang, who rushed into his arms, and reached out to stroke the little guy's straw-like hair. "Give him some meat, get a little fatter, that way he can become a master."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sir. I'll eat three bowls of rice tonight." Yi Liang nuzzled his head against Lin Yao's chest and then obediently pulled away from his embrace. He knew his master was very busy and he shouldn't disturb him too much.
Time passed by amidst busy treatments and meditation. During this time, as promised, he returned to Ya'an with Long Yihun to retrieve their graduation certificates from Sichuan Agricultural University. Professor Li, who had always liked Lin Yao, specially collected and kept the graduation certificate for him, and also kept it for Long Yihun, who didn't originally care much for graduation certificates, because he knew that the two students were as close as brothers.
Lin Yao, who didn't have enough time, didn't linger in Ya'an. He only treated Professor Li to lunch with Long Yihun. Then, he took Professor Li's years of experience and records in treating diseases with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine back to the garment factory because the Yi family here needed him. In the early stages of treatment, he had to infuse medical qi into the garment every day to help with recovery.
"Sir, I feel that my skill has improved significantly, but the improvement has been smaller in the last two days than before. Can I start cultivating more freely?" Yi Fei stood in front of Lin Yao with his hands on the trouser seams at his sides, looking somewhat nervous and urgent.
Yi Fei was eager to advance. The allure of the peak Earth level for a martial artist was beyond imagination. At this time, Lin Yao was helping him with acupuncture three times a day, which rapidly improved his skill. However, according to the training method prescribed by Lin Yao, he had to stop each time within the limits of his muscles and bones. He felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement, and that way his skill might improve even more quickly.
"No." Lin Yao answered decisively. He knew Yi Fei's intentions, but he absolutely could not allow Yi Fei to control the level of cultivation on his own.
Through examining and treating Yi Fei, and combining this with advanced techniques of the "Yi Jin Jue" (Muscle/Tendon Changing Manual), Lin Yao discovered a new method for controlling internal energy in healing. This method allows the internal energy of a martial artist to flow freely without being blocked or detected. This type of healing internal energy, which has a synchronous effect, can help Yi Fei regulate the internal energy and nourish and repair his meridians and bones, making them more resilient. This is Lin Yao's true ability.
The ever-expanding meridians gave Yi Fei the illusion that his daily cultivation was not reaching its limit, causing his true qi progress to be slow. In fact, he had not yet realized that his power was being rapidly improved. This could only be discovered when he fought and sparred with others. However, it was difficult to find an opponent here, which led to Yi Fei's misjudgment.
"Eat two 'White Cloud Pills,' then eat this 'Dragon Tiger Pill,' and go do some light exercise." Lin Yao handed Yi Fei a small jade bottle without further explanation.
"Oh." Yi Fei accepted the "Dragon Tiger Pill" from Lin Yao, feeling somewhat distressed.
Over the past few days, Yi Fei has consumed more than thirty "Dragon Tiger Pills," but he has yet to break through to the peak of the Earth Rank. Not to mention the even more "White Cloud Pills" he has used up—those pills aren't that valuable, and Lin Yao even had him carry more than a dozen with him—the "Dragon Tiger Pills" are still of great value to the Yi family. These thirty-odd "Dragon Tiger Pills" are equivalent to more than thirty early-stage Earth Rank experts. It's such a waste that he's just wasting them!
Yi Fei gritted his teeth, opened the bottle cap, and poured the "Dragon Tiger Pill" into his mouth. He didn't want to take this precious pill behind Lin Yao's back, because he was afraid that he would disobey orders and secretly save the pill for the disciple in Yanji who was about to break through.
