"Don't worry, Bai Jiao, send me the address, and I'll leave immediately, wait for me."

Feeling unexpectedly reassured by Shen Qiang's unequivocal response, Bai Jiao urgently said, "Shen Qiang, go to the airport now, and call me when you arrive. I will arrange a plane for you."

Seeing Bai Jiao making a call to find a doctor, Doctor Hu's expression turned somewhat ugly. He said emotionlessly to Bai Jiao's father, "Chairman Bai, since your daughter has already sought other doctors, then I..."

The expression on Bai Jiao's father's face turned ice-cold as he sternly rebuked, "Bai Jiao, apologize to Doctor Hu! How can you be so ill-mannered?"

Bai Jiao turned and left without saying a word.

Bai Jiao's father's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he soon managed a slight smile and said, "This child is spoiled by me, Doctor Hu, please don't take it to heart. Bai Jiao and her grandmother are very close, if there is any offense, I ask you to overlook it for my sake."

Hearing this, Doctor Hu's expression improved a bit, then he seriously said, "Chairman Bai, since you are so understanding, let me be frank. The old lady's condition definitely won't last more than three days."

"But during this period, we will do everything possible to prolong her life, buy you more time, and arrange for her final affairs."

Bai Jiao's father stood up and said, "Thank you, Doctor Hu, please go to the living room for some tea and rest a while."

Immediately after, many doctors were led away.

They had just left.

Bai Jiao's father ordered, "Our plane won't be able to pick him up in time, call the airport in Provincial City immediately, arrange a plane, and have it ready to bring Shen Qiang over as soon as he arrives."

A male assistant by his side, slightly surprised, said, "Family Head, do you truly believe Shen Qiang's medical skill surpasses Doctor Hu's? Once he arrives, Doctor Hu will certainly not be pleased, this..."

Bai Jiao's father furrowed his brow and said sternly, "She is my mother, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I must save her. I do not care what Doctor Hu thinks. Call now."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, after arranging the plane, Shen Qiang had already reached the airport at Provincial City.

After making contact over the phone.

Shen Qiang, along with Xiu Ju and Jin Chan, boarded the plane.

After the plane took off.

Sitting in the plane, Shen Qiang looked at the tri-colored Earth Spirit Embryo held in his hand with a somewhat heavy expression.

These were specifically brought from the plantation before departure—a tri-colored Earth Spirit Embryo and a five-colored Earth Spirit Embryo.

These two types of fruitless seeds, capable of refining Jiazi Pills and Half Armor Pills.

Regardless of whether Bai Jiao's grandmother was a cultivator or an ordinary person, as long as the pill was refined, prolonging life for decades was not an issue.

The real reason behind Shen Qiang's frown, however, was that both the tri-colored and five-colored Earth Spirit Embryos weren't fully ripe yet.

These things grew rapidly.

They would reach full size in just about a dozen days, but then they required a lot of time to settle and mature.

Originally, Shen Qiang expected that the tri-colored Earth Spirit Embryo would truly mature within twenty-four hours, but now, since Bai Jiao's grandmother urgently needed it, Shen Qiang could only carry it with him to see how things would unfold. If it absolutely wouldn't work, even if the Earth Spirit Embryo was slightly under-ripe, Shen Qiang would have to save her immediately.

The airport where the plane landed was a private one behind the small town.

The sky was dotted with cold rain typical of late autumn and early winter.

The town wasn't very large but held an ancient charm.

Under the escort of the Bai Family's cultivators, Shen Qiang came to the ancestral home of the Bai Family.

The residence was large, filled with many cultivators.

Upon entering, Shen Qiang immediately saw Bai Jiao, her beautiful eyes red, evidently having just cried.

After a brief greeting,

Bai Jiao led Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju towards the rear residence.

Once they reached the old lady's sickroom,

Doctor Hu and others were already there.

"Shen Qiang, please help me save my grandmother, she has been the kindest to me, you must think of a way," she begged.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang nodded seriously and said, "Bai Jiao, rest assured, I will help you sincerely."

Bai Jiao nodded vigorously.

Just then, Doctor Hu snorted coldly from the side and questioned, "Using demon art? Yes, you are a demon, King of Demons, aren't you? It's not surprising that you have demon arts capable of reversing age, but if you fail, the disgrace will be immense."

Shen Qiang glanced coldly at Doctor Hu.

If it hadn't been his first visit to the Bai Family and the presence of a patient, Shen Qiang would certainly not have spared this doctor any dignity.

But now, saving a life came first.

Arguing with other doctors upon arrival would clearly show a lack of sense of urgency.

Thus, Shen Qiang smiled calmly at the old lady on the sickbed, patiently took her pulse, and then conducted some simple examinations.

The conclusion was roughly the same as that of Doctor Hu.

Because the condition of Madam Bai wasn't complex,

her body's various organs were merely aging and gradually heading towards death.

What surprised Shen Qiang even more was that this elderly lady of the Bai Family was actually a completely ordinary person.

So, this condition was indeed an irreversible sentence of death for others, but for Shen Qiang, refining a single Jiazi Pill could extend her life for an entire Jiazi cycle.

It was just that, at the moment, the tri-colored Earth Spirit Fetus in Shen Qiang's possession had not yet fully matured. If he were to refine the Jiazi Pill now, its effectiveness would be reduced by forty percent. Moreover, each person could consume the Jiazi Pill only once in their lifetime; it would be useless if taken a second time.

Therefore, noticing that the elderly lady, although nearly extinguished like a lamp running out of oil, had consumed many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Shen Qiang could guarantee that she would at least survive safely for two more days, while the tri-colored Earth Spirit Fetus would mature within the next twenty-four hours.

If he were to refine the Jiazi Pill, with Shen Qiang's current Nascent Soul Stage strength, he could definitely manage it within an hour.

With this assurance in mind, Shen Qiang gave Bai Jiao a slight smile and said, "Bai Jiao, put your mind at ease, with me here, King Yama won't be able to take her away."

Bai Jiao trembled with excitement, looking at Shen Qiang and eagerly asked, "Really?"

Shen Qiang nodded with a smile, "I promise."

Before Shen Qiang could finish, Doctor Hu's expression darkened dramatically, and he bellowed, "Such arrogance! I have been studying medicine for nearly a hundred years and have never seen someone as ignorant and shameless as you, who seeks only fame."

Hearing this, Bai Jiao became anxious, "Doctor Hu, how can you speak like this?"

At this moment, a doctor beside Doctor Hu coldly said, "Miss Bai, don't let this hypocritical man deceive you. Across the Cultivation World, whether it's acupuncture, massage, or various Elixir Pills, none would be effective for the old lady's condition."

Doctor Hu added with a cold laugh, "Because the old lady's condition is not due to injury or disease, but body aging. Therefore, anyone who dares to claim there is hope for the old lady's recovery is a swindler!"
