Chapter 29: Unmoving Zizi

  Seeing a basketball-sized space stone stuck in Xīng Chóng's abdomen, Wú Ruì immediately lost his composure and almost couldn't bear to dissect the space stone out. After all, space stones are good stuff - even a small piece can be refined into a space ring, let alone such a large one!

  Wu Rui stared foolishly at his own belly, but Zizi was unhappy. He squirmed and shouted discontentedly: "Hey, can you help me take out the stone in my stomach?"

  "Alright!" Wu Rui gave a very affirmative reply, but then a sly merchant's smile floated up: "However, my clinic charges a fee. If I help you remove the stone, you'll need to pay me compensation."

  He abruptly turned around, his two eyes shining with a red light as he asked: "What do you want?"

  "That rock stuck in your belly." Wu Rui blurted out this answer without even thinking.

  "...Even if Zizi's brain is a bit dull, at this moment he looks at Wu Rui like an idiot. What's the use of that stone? It can't be eaten. But he's also happy to see this and hurriedly urged: "Give you that broken stone, hurry up and help me take it out, I'm dying from the pain."

  Wu Rui was also amused, but didn't forget the clinic's rules. He quickly printed out a contract and looked at Zizi's eight tangled legs, saying: "Take a look at this contract, if there's no problem, please put your paw print on it."

  "What a hassle!" Zi Zi was careless, muttering to himself while not even looking and stepping on it with his foot, not afraid that Wu Rui would sell him out.

  At the bottom of the contract, the words "Seventh Starry Sky of Xīngchóng" appeared, and Wu Rui happily put away the contract. Only then did he say to Ziz, "I'll take out the stone for you now. Just relax your body."

  As they spoke, Wu Rui's consciousness once again entered Zizi's abdomen, directly finding the location of the space stone, wrapping it with his consciousness, silently reciting the "收" character decision. The next moment, a basketball-sized space stone appeared in his hand, heavy and delightful, making Wu Rui grin from ear to ear.

  With a divine sense of the Golden Elixir period, taking things from afar is not a problem. If we're talking about surgery, let's not mention whether Ziz agrees or not, even Wu Rui doesn't have confidence in it. After all, the physical structure of the Star Worm tribe differs greatly from that of humans, and Wu Rui really can't guarantee what would happen if they were to cut them open.

  But then Wu Rui found that the situation was not right, Zizi's body was not small, but it was a bit exaggerated to hold a basketball-sized stone. Was it the special physique of the Star Worm tribe? Or did the clinic shrink Zizi's body? Wu Rui couldn't find an answer for a while and didn't dwell on it too much.

  "...Looking at the big stone that suddenly appeared in Wu Rui's hand, Zizi was so frightened that his intestines moved and found that the stone stuck in his belly had disappeared. He was overjoyed and rolled on the ground, his eyes shining with red light as he said to Wu Rui: "You're really amazing, this stone has been stuck in me for thousands of days and nights, and I couldn't digest it away, but you took it out in an instant."

  "Haha, thank you, thank you!" Wu Rui humbly smiled and effortlessly obtained a Space Stone, which made him extremely delighted.

  "...it's just a broken stone, do you have to be so excited?" Seeing Wu Rui like this, Zi Zi couldn't help but mutter a sentence, those bright red eyes looked like a city person looking at a country bumpkin.

  "Uh..." Wu Rui's face suddenly turned black, and he was despised by his own grandmother.

  "By the way, human, can you treat another disease for me?" Zizi suddenly asked Wu Rui in a low voice.

  "Huh? Do you have any other illnesses?" Wu Rui asked in surprise, this was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he didn't know if the clinic could handle a second transaction, but no matter what, even if there was no profit, Wu Rui would still do his best to treat Zizi, for one Spatial Stone was worthless to Zizi, but to Wu Rui it was priceless, enough to get him treated for free once.

  "That... uh, this caterpillar is actually a bit shy, and only spoke up when Wu Rui's eyelids were twitching: "For some reason, I'm unable to get along with girls, so I asked if you could treat..."

  "Cough, cough..." Wu Rui was choked for a moment, and when he looked at Zizi again, his face turned eerily pale. To be honest, it's not easy to treat oneself, and Wu Rui was really anxious and under tremendous pressure.

  "Ding, patient Zizi requests treatment for a new condition. Since this disease is higher than the primary disease, 5 points will be rewarded after success, refusal is allowed." The cold voice of the instructor suddenly sounded in Wu Rui's ear, but the front Zizi did not hear it.

  "Five points?" Wu Rui's eyes lit up at the sound. If he could get these five points, he would be much closer to upgrading.

  Seeing Wu Rui not responding to himself, and that eerie gaze was terrifying, Ziz immediately became unhappy. After his eyes flashed red for a moment, he called out in dissatisfaction: "Hey, can you really cure it or not? You didn't like that stone just now, did you? I have another one at home that's even bigger than this house, do you want it?"

  "What's wrong?" Wu Rui's mind was a bit stunned, the space stone in his hand slipped, almost falling to the ground.

  In the Cultivation Realm, a space stone as big as a fist was enough to make people scramble for it. The shockwave from this piece in Wu Rui's hand was already strong enough, but Ziz said that there was another one at home that was even bigger than the diagnostic room, how could Wu Rui not be shocked? Just thinking about it made his mouth water!

  "Do you want to or not? If not, I'm leaving!" Seeing Wu Rui act foolishly again, Zizi became impatient and urged him on. The Xingzhong tribe also valued face, so this unspoken secret made Zizi feel somewhat embarrassed.

  "Wait... wait a minute, let me check again to confirm!" Wu Rui almost directly said he wanted to, but still changed his mouth in time, otherwise, the clinic would deduct 5 points for not being able to cure it, and Wu Rui would be so sad that he couldn't cry.

  The physical body of the Xīngchóng tribe is vastly different from that of humans. Wu Rui spent a long time figuring out Zīzī's reproductive system, which was very complex and had many organs that humans did not have, such as blood vessels, tendons, cartilage, etc. After examining every aspect of Zīzī's body, Wu Rui finally found an unhealthy spot - an organ similar to the human kidney, with some signs of necrosis.

  Kidney necrosis, strangely unable to urinate.

  Wu Rui's strange gaze made Zizi's face a bit unbearable, his eyes flashing red light quickly asked: "Can it be cured? If not, then forget it..."

  "Got it!" Wu Rui gave a very affirmative answer.

  "Really?" Zizi's face finally lit up, and he even forgot about the awkwardness. His eight legs excitedly squirmed as he said: "Then hurry up and cure me!"

  "Don't be in a hurry, sign this first!" Wu Rui had calmed down a lot and skillfully printed out a contract, handing it over to Zizi with a smile.

  "What a hassle!" Zizi was getting impatient, but still directly pressed a footprint on the contract.

  This disease is not easy to say, but it's also not easy to say that it's easy. The kidney transplant procedure is doomed to fail, and Wu Rui can't just swap out a cow's kidney for this guy, right? So the only way is to treat it directly and let this kidney recover on its own.

  However, the skin of this star insect tribe was too hard, and direct spellcasting could not effectively penetrate the kidneys, so Wu Rui decided to use the Shen Nong Nine Needles.

  "Zi Zi, your skin is too hard, I can't treat you directly, so I need to use a silver needle to insert into your body. During this time, you cannot move your body." Wu Rui took out the Shen Nong Nine Needles while also explaining the process to Zi Zi, which was also to prevent misunderstandings, after all, he couldn't guarantee that Zi Zi could accept acupuncture.

  "...Zi Zi looked at Wu Rui's hand holding several super-long silver needles, and his lower body involuntarily shrunk back, his eyes flashing with red light as he asked Wu Rui: "You're not going to insert them somewhere, are you?"

  "Cough... no need, just beside!" Wu Rui was sweating profusely. Who says caterpillars don't have a sense of humor?

  "That's good, go ahead!" With a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to move his body at the moment.

  Wu Rui's expression also turned serious, and he held a silver needle in his right hand, pinching it with his index finger and thumb, aiming at a certain point before stabbing straight in.

  Zi Zi's skin was very tough, but the Shennong Nine Needles were not famous for nothing. Although there was some resistance, the silver needle quickly penetrated deep into his skin. Zi Zi's eyes glowed red as he turned to stare at the scene. If Wu Rui hadn't given him prior instructions, he would have been so startled that he would have jumped up. He had always been confident in his own skin, never thinking that a small needle could pierce it.

  The art of rejuvenation, especially the unique art of rejuvenation in Shennong Jing, is the most basic therapeutic technique. It has magical healing effects such as reviving withered bones and restoring vitality, and it's not only applicable to humans or animals but also to plants. Emperor Shennong's medical skills are unparalleled, and his planting skills are also renowned. This is because Shennong Jing itself contains many techniques that can be applied to planting.

  This time, Wu Rui used the same technique of Hui Chun to restore Ziz's kidneys.

  Gently manipulating the silver needle, a stream of green energy flowed into Zizi's body along with it. When the Rejuvenation True Essence entered his dying kidneys, the effect was immediate and visible to the naked eye. His kidneys gradually regained their vitality, and the death energy decreased at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

  At this moment, he felt a warmth in his lower abdomen, so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan. What made him even more ecstatic was that the lower part of his body quickly had a certain feeling, a long-forgotten sensation. At this moment, he was excited to the point where his eyes turned red. Fortunately, although he was a bit dim-witted, he still had basic intelligence and didn't dare make any noise that would disturb Wu Rui.

  The treatment lasted for about ten minutes, Wu Rui slowly withdrew his hand, put away the Shennong Nine Needles, and glanced at a certain red stick on Zizi's lower body with an evil smile, but didn't say anything.

  "......" Zizi was greatly embarrassed, but wanting to shrink that thing back was temporarily not possible, so he could only stiffly smile at Wu Rui and say: "That... put me back!"

  "Okay, but remember to apply for the payment of that stone as soon as possible. Otherwise, the treatment from just now will quickly wear off and you'll even be punished." Wu Rui reminded him kindly, and after Zizi nodded in understanding, he sent him away from the clinic.
