The Beautiful Doctor left, and Lin Feng could only suppress the embarrassment in his heart. He took out the Forbidden Spring that he had delayed taking because of her arrival. Since Tesla claimed that this thing was so miraculous, not only enhancing physical condition but also helping him escape his current mummy-like state, Lin Feng felt he had to take it.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng, although usually lazy, was now quite eager to see what effects this bottle of Forbidden Spring would have. He activated his Mental Power, and in a flash, the bottle of Forbidden Spring appeared in his hand, making him feel grateful for the ring.
Carefully opening the bottle, Lin Feng knew that this Forbidden Spring was very precious, so he could only be as cautious as possible. After all, regardless of its authenticity, this bottle was his only hope for recovery. If he accidentally spilled even a tiny bit, he would have no place to cry.
With the cap removed, Lin Feng held the bottle of Forbidden Spring in his hand. Looking at the ancient and peculiar patterns on the bottle, he closed his eyes and silently recited the Diamond Sutra, feeling a sense of solemnity as if preparing for battle.
Having made these mental preparations, Lin Feng raised his hand and followed Tesla's instructions to take a cup. He carefully poured out about ten drops of liquid. If Tesla was correct, ten drops was the maximum dosage for one intake; any more might lead to unbearable consequences and cause his body to explode.
He drank it all in one go and quietly felt the effects of this Forbidden Spring, which was said to have the power to transform one's body.
Soon, Lin Feng felt a surge of heat coursing through his body. Every cell seemed to be breaking apart and reassembling continuously. Even his skin appeared to be undergoing incredible changes. The most direct sensation was: discomfort—immensely uncomfortable!
After a while, Lin Feng felt as if he were being burned in a great furnace. Flames were raging from both outside and inside his body. He thought that perhaps Sun Wukong felt something similar when he was in Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace!
Despite feeling lost in this experience, there were no actual flames around him; it was merely his perception. This sensation was painful, and Lin Feng struggled multiple times to keep himself from fainting. Although he didn't know why this was happening, he understood that it felt like consuming a powerful elixir from a fantasy novel. If he truly passed out now, it would be disastrous.
No matter how hard he tried to maintain consciousness, Lin Feng sensed that the energy within him seemed to be increasing continuously at an alarming rate. This energy surged like a wild horse running amok, wreaking havoc on Lin Feng's body—perhaps it was refining him.
"I can't go on like this; I'll pass out sooner or later! There's no one here; I’d be doomed! Sigh... I never thought I’d survive being hit by a car only to be overwhelmed by an elixir instead—what a tragedy!" Although he believed Tesla wouldn't deceive him, Lin Feng felt incredibly uncomfortable at that moment. Yet he knew he had to endure it and stay conscious; otherwise, it would all be over.
Finally, as Lin Feng's body became nearly soaked with sweat, the painful sensation disappeared and was replaced by an overwhelming sense of comfort. He realized it was time for relief after hardship. Once his tense nerves relaxed, an irresistible wave of fatigue enveloped his mind. Lin Feng finally smiled and closed his eyes...
By ten o'clock the next morning, Lin Feng finally woke up, rubbing his blurry eyes. He moved his hands and feet in a mummy-like state, feeling no discomfort except for the stiffness caused by the plaster cast. Surprisingly, he didn't even experience any numbness that might have resulted from being wrapped in plaster for an extended period.
It seemed that Tesla had not deceived Lin Feng; at least his injuries had completely healed thanks to ten drops of "Forbidden Spring." It was truly a remarkable substance. Lin Feng began to think about how to use the remaining quantity of "Forbidden Spring," which was enough for at least ten more applications.
As he pondered, Lin Feng remembered that he had been reborn and that he possessed the magic ring. A smile, long absent from his face, suddenly appeared as he realized how beautiful the world was and how fresh the air felt.
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Feng chuckled to himself, overwhelmed with joy. He had so much to look forward to in life. It wasn't until a nurse came in for her rounds that he snapped out of his silly grin; otherwise, someone might have transferred him from this department to the psychiatric ward upstairs.
Since his injuries were no longer an issue, Lin Feng saw no reason to stay in the hospital. After some effort, he managed to convince the nurse to remove his plaster cast. He then made his way to the hospital's payment office to settle his medical bills.
When the sweet-smiling nurse at the payment office handed him the bill, Lin Feng realized that he didn't have enough money on him; he was short by three hundred yuan.
At that moment, Lin Feng couldn't produce even three yuan.
Indeed, a penny can be a hero's downfall! Lin Feng finally understood the truth behind that saying.
Just as he was contemplating whether to call his three roommates for help, he noticed a beautiful woman walking toward him with a smile. It was none other than the nurse who had helped him last night with a temporary physiological issue—his beautiful doctor.
She had called him "little brother" right from the start.
Lin Feng felt quite fond of her but recalled what had happened last night. He could only manage a not-so-charming smile while awkwardly scratching his nose, unsure of what to say.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me, little brother?" the Beautiful Doctor said to Lin Feng with a smile.
"Hehe... of course I do! I was just about to say hello, but I didn't know how to address you!" Lin Feng replied, feeling a bit teased by her words, and he naturally didn't want to show his awkwardness.
"Hehe... my name is Meng Li, and I'm a doctor at this hospital," the Beautiful Doctor said with another smile, which helped ease Lin Feng's embarrassment a little as she introduced herself.
"Hehe... Meng Li, that's a nice name, it suits you well. I'm Lin Feng, with 'Lin' meaning 'two woods' and 'Feng' meaning 'maple leaf.' Thank you for what you did last night!" Lin Feng thought that since the beautiful woman wasn't bothered by the situation, it would be overly dramatic for him to remain awkward, so he introduced himself generously.
Meng Li had been comforting herself all night with "I am a doctor!" but since it was her first time treating a patient like that, she felt her face flush when Lin Feng mentioned it.
Meng Li was quite a conservative girl; although she was warm and generous, she had never been in a relationship, so even being friendly could feel somewhat awkward.
Seeing Meng Li like this made Lin Feng feel a bit shy as well. He just smiled and didn't say anything because he wasn't sure what to say.
"By the way, are you feeling better?" Meng Li asked. As a surgical doctor, she was well aware of Lin Feng's injuries from yesterday. How could he suddenly be fine today?
"Hehe, since you're older than me, I'll call you Sister Meng. Can I tell you a secret?" Lin Feng pretended to be mysterious as he waved his hand to signal Meng Li to come closer for a whisper.
"Okay." Perhaps it was because she trusted Lin Feng too much or maybe she hadn't fully recovered from her earlier surprise; she leaned in close to him.
