Episode 40 is harder than climbing to heaven

  Inside the senior intensive care unit of Longtan City People's Hospital, Li Ping, who had just finished emergency rescue and was waiting for further examination, lay quietly on the hospital bed. Next to her, Li Yan sat in a daze, staring intently at Li Ping with an icy expression, his eyes gleaming with a hint of fierce killing intent.

  Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open and a slender policewoman named Yun Lei walked in. She looked at Li Ping lying quietly on the bed and felt a little downcast, but thinking of her mission, she took a deep breath and came to Li Yan's side, asking: "Hello, I'm Police Officer Yun Lei, I believe you know my identity. This time I've come mainly to ask if you know the identities of those who severely injured your mother?"

  Li Yan had already sensed Yun Lei's arrival, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of his mother, Li Ping, and how he could quickly rescue her safely, so he didn't pay much attention to Yun Lei.

  Upon hearing Yun Lei's inquiry, he first furrowed his brow subconsciously, then recalled the other party's identity and forcibly calmed down, asking in a deep voice: "Officer Yun, right? If I were to say that I know what kind of people they are, I wonder if Officer Yun would believe me?"

  "Although Yun Lei had just become a police officer and was an excellent graduate, she wouldn't answer with a simple yes or no. After hesitating for a moment, she replied ambiguously: "Just say what you know, at least it will give us one more lead, and the police will have one more chance to catch the killer."

  Li Yan heard this and suddenly felt a pang in his heart, but he still calmly spoke out: "Before my mom had the accident, I received a phone call from my classmate Wang Jie. At that time, he was using my mom to threaten me, so I think it's him who did this."

  Upon hearing this, Yun Lei was slightly stunned, then seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Yan, asking: "Did you offend Wang Jie before?"

  "Yes." Li Yan responded directly without any concealment, "We are all students of Longtan Second Middle School. He has always had a crush on my deskmate, a girl named Yang Xueying, but she is not interested in him. Now that he sees me getting closer to Yang Xueying recently, he harbors resentment."

  "Really!" Yun Lei slightly frowned, then said in a deep voice: "Alright, I've taken note of this matter. You can rest assured that if things are indeed as you say, and Wang Jie really did hire someone to beat up your mother and injure her, I believe the law will give you justice!"

  "Then trouble Officer Yun!" Li Yan nodded with a hint of a smile, although he didn't think the police could really bring him justice. However, Li Yan was clear that by saying this, the police would inevitably put pressure on Wang Jie and those behind him, which would at least make it convenient for himself to take revenge.

  "I won't disturb your mother's rest, I'll leave first." Seeing Li Yan's expressionless face, Yun Lei was also a sensible person and immediately bid farewell and left.

  In the ward, only Li Yan was left quietly accompanying his mother. In his eyes, a hint of murder flashed: "Wang Jie... this matter is not over!"

  At this moment, Li Yan, after anger and hatred, seems to be slightly dispirited. The usual carefree and unrestrained manner of Li Da Sanxian has disappeared without a trace along with his mother's serious injury.

  Soon, the hospital staff came to arrange for Li Ping's examination. Li Yan naturally followed and stood outside the examination room waiting. During this time, Li Yan received calls from Lin Xincheng and Fang Pangzi.

  But as soon as Li Yan received the phone call and rushed out, the car disappeared. Lin Xincheng had already anticipated that something big must have happened, especially after seeing Li Yan push away his own car door with such a powerful force, which made Lin Xincheng further realize that Li Yan was absolutely not an ordinary person.

  Martial arts master? Cultivator? Or the legendary Dragon Group...... In this instant, Lin Xincheng wanted to ask many irrelevant questions, wanting to call Li Yan to ask about the situation and whether he could help in any way. However, today he was attending the black market, according to the rules, it was not allowed to bring a phone, and now being on the outskirts of the road, he couldn't even make a call if he wanted to.

  It wasn't easy to drive back to Longtan City in a car with one less door. The shape of the car scared Fang Baozi half to death. After discussing it, they thought Li Yan must have been very busy at the time, so they didn't bother calling him.

  Just now, the two of them estimated that the time was about right and called Li Yan one after another to ask what had happened and if they needed any help.

  Li Yan is not an ordinary person, of course, he also knows that Lin Xincheng and Fang Yuan are not ordinary people. In Longtan City, they are probably all influential figures, but this matter, they can't help themselves.

  Firstly, if he wants revenge, relying on his own strength, in Longtan City, it's estimated that no one can withstand his methods.

  Secondly, regarding his mother's illness, he had already undergone treatment and naturally knew that her condition was very serious and not something that an ordinary doctor could cure. Rather than relying on others, it would be better to rely on himself to grasp a greater hold.

  He politely declined Lin Xincheng and Fang Yuan's help, thanked them, and then hung up the phone. At this time, the hospital's test results also arrived in his hands.

  As expected, the situation was not much different from what he had anticipated earlier. The hospital's examination results stated that the patient had suffered severe blunt trauma to the head due to external forces, resulting in severe brain damage and a deep coma. In simpler terms, it meant that the patient had become a "vegetable", and a very serious one at that, with no possibility of waking up again unless a miracle occurred.

  Although he didn't have much hope for the hospital's response, when Li Yan really heard the news, he still couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.

  It's still better to rely on oneself than others! However, with his medical skills, wanting to save his mother is not impossible, but it carries a significant risk. If it were someone else, taking some risks would be okay, but since it's his own mother he wants to cure, he naturally wants to find ways to avoid this risk.

  According to him, if one wants to completely avoid this risk, there are three prerequisites: first, his own cultivation must reach the level of a third-tribulation scattered immortal; second, the Hundred Grasses Needle must be upgraded to a top-grade spiritual instrument; and third, it requires 100-year-old He Shou Wu, 100-year-old Snow Mountain Ginseng, and 100-year-old Huang Jing, as well as the blood of a dragon beast as medicine guides.

  These three conditions, the first two are nothing to worry about, as long as you have the Three-Life Stone in hand and the timing is right, with the arrival of thunderstorms, there will be an opportunity to cultivate to the realm of Sanjie Scattered Immortal within a short period of time. As for upgrading the Hundred Herb Needle's level, it only requires spending a large sum of money to purchase fresh herbs, what is needed is just time.

  However, the third condition is a bit troublesome. The dragon beast's blood, the dragon beast is easy to find, there are some in the underground dark river of Longkou Mountain, but it's difficult to get its fresh blood.

  As for the three medicinal materials, the hundred-year-old Huang Jing doesn't have too much fuss, but the other two herbs, the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu must be the male one, and the hundred-year-old Xue Shan Shen must be the authentic Xue Shan Shen, which is difficult to come by.

  Huang Jing and He Shou Wu can be induced to produce offspring with the help of time-based arrays, which are relatively easy. However, this authentic 100-year-old Snow Mountain Ginseng has a special growth environment and cannot be induced to produce offspring. It must be obtained from Changbai Mountain.

  And over the years, due to excessive harvesting of Changbai Mountain ginseng, wild snow mountain ginseng is now extremely hard to find. Wanting to find one that's over a hundred years old is simply a pipe dream. Even if you venture deep into the mountains, it still depends on luck. In short, it's just too difficult!

  But this matter concerns whether Li Ping's mother can successfully wake up, even if it is difficult, Li Yan and Li Daxian will still have to do it.
