Chapter 4

Qin Yi followed and came to the ward, seeing a middle-aged doctor about to leave. He quickly stepped forward and asked about the situation: "Doctor, how is my friend? Why isn't he having surgery with such serious injuries?"

The middle-aged doctor, seeing that the hospital director had personally arranged the ward, knew that the patient was no ordinary person, so he was quite polite: "Your friend is quite unusual. His left arm is broken, but setting the bone and putting on a cast for rest would be enough. The key is the injury on his chest. Normally, such injuries require surgery to correct the bone displacement, remove bone fragments, and treat internal organs. Your friend is strange; although the bones haven't fully healed, the displacement has already returned to normal and is beginning to heal. His internal organs are slightly damaged but without any bleeding. It's really strange..."

The doctor said "strange" three times, shook his head, and walked away with a puzzled look.

After hearing the doctor, Qin Yi was a bit surprised: "I didn't expect the effect to be so good. It seems that in the future, I shouldn't easily take out the Blood Spirit Fruit. Otherwise, if someone with ill intentions discovers it, it would be bad."

Qin Yi entered the ward, and Ye Fang was lying on the bed, smiling at him.

"How are you feeling?"

"Much better, it doesn't hurt much anymore, and I feel my strength has increased a bit." Ye Fang made a gesture of a strongman with his right hand, then with a knowing look, he said hopefully: "What kind of fruit is that? Do you have any more? Give me a couple more."

"I don't know its name, but I have a few more. I'll bring them to you this afternoon." Qin Yi said casually, but he was secretly thinking.

"How can it not have a name? Such a magical fruit..." Ye Fang felt a bit regretful. It was a waste that such a good thing didn't have a name!

"I found these during a trip to Shennongjia a while ago. I picked about ten ripe ones and left some unripe ones. I was planning to go back and pick them all in the next few days." Qin Yi thought it would be safer to give the Blood Spirit Fruit an origin, to avoid any wild speculations.

"Too bad I can't go. With this incident, my family won't let me run around anymore." Ye Fang sighed, feeling regretful.

Qin Yi remembered: "Why did you come to Hangzhou? Are you tired of Beijing?"

"I came to drink with you. My family is all involved in politics, and they always have stern faces, which is no fun."

"Then why don't you get into politics? It would be easier for us to find you for help in the future." Qin Yi teased Ye Fang, seeing that he was unhappy about his family.

Ye Fang laughed: "I can still help you even if I don't get into politics. We're brothers, after all!"

Qin Yi smiled slightly and didn't say more, telling him to rest. Although the Blood Spirit Fruit was effective, it was still important to get plenty of rest. He told Ye Fang he would bring the fruit in the afternoon and then left the hospital. He ate something on the street and took a taxi back to his rental apartment.

On the way, Qin Yi thought and decided to go to Shennongjia in the next few days to give the impression that the fruit really came from there. This way, if anyone paid attention to the fruit, they would think the issue was with Shennongjia, reducing the focus on himself.

Qin Yi thought about how to handle different scenarios and soon arrived at his rental apartment. Seeing the grass by the roadside, he had an idea and dug up three small plants to take home.

At home, Qin Yi didn't immediately enter the space. He first found two bowls and a water cup (he only had two bowls, so he used a water cup to make up for it). He took one bowl downstairs, filled it with soil, and then went into the space to fill the other bowl and the water cup with space soil. He came out and planted the small plants, watering the bowl with space soil with tap water and the bowl and water cup with ordinary soil with a mixture of tap water and a drop of spring water.

Indeed, Qin Yi wanted to test the effects of diluted spring water and space soil on plants in the outside world. He believed the spring water would be effective, but the key was to test the space soil.

After arranging them on the windowsill, he waited to see the results the next day.

After finishing these tasks, Qin Yi went back into the space. Observing the spirit field, he saw the bare ground and the bare Blood Spirit Fruit tree, with no signs of sprouting. It seemed that the spiritual energy in the outside world was really scarce, affecting the space significantly.

In the game, it took only a day for the fruit to sprout and mature.

Ignoring this, Qin Yi went to the thatched hut, took out a Spirit Yuan Grass, and left the space. He washed it briefly and ate it. The day had been full of events, making him tense, and he needed the Spirit Yuan Grass to boost his spirits.

Qin Yi felt a bit indifferent about wasting a Spirit Grass, but since there were plenty in the space and he had seeds, he could always plant more!

After a short rest, Qin Yi felt full of energy. He looked at the three small plants and saw that the two watered with diluted spring water had already bloomed and grown to about the same height as the one he had planted in the space. The one watered with ordinary water showed no changes.

He had thought it would take a whole night to see the effects, but it happened so quickly. "Hehe, the faster, the better!" He went back into the space, took three Blood Spirit Fruits, and set off for the hospital to keep Ye Fang company, so he wouldn't be bored lying in bed alone.

As for taking only three fruits, Qin Yi had carefully considered it. It wasn't that he was stingy, but he couldn't take too many now. He had told Ye Fang that he had picked only about ten during his trip to Shennongjia. Given the fruit's effectiveness, which Ye Fang had experienced, it wouldn't be reasonable to keep so many for himself. He wanted to give the impression that he didn't have many.

For now, this was the best approach.

Qin Yi decided to plant a few fruit trees in the outside world, watering them with spring water. They might grow, even if they didn't have the same effects as in the space. With these trees as a cover, he could take a few from the space and eat them without worry.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he no longer dwelled on them, heading to the hospital by taxi.

When he arrived, he saw that Ye Fang was indeed lying in bed, staring out the window, looking bored.

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh. This guy just didn't like being constrained. Otherwise, his family would have already arranged for him to enter politics. Qin Yi pushed the door open, "What are you thinking about? You look so bored, it makes me want to laugh." He walked to the bed and placed the fruits on the bedside table.

Seeing Qin Yi, Ye Fang was delighted, and seeing the fruits in his hand made him even happier. He took the fruits with a smile, "You don't know me, I can't stand being constrained. This bed rest is killing me!"

He continued, "Actually, I'm much better now. Look, my left hand can move a bit." He slowly moved his left hand.

Qin Yi quickly stopped him, "Bro, take it easy! Rest more. The bones might not have fully set yet. How can you recover so quickly?"

While saying this, Qin Yi was actually quite shocked. He had already given the Blood Spirit Fruit high praise, but he had underestimated its effectiveness. He hadn't expected the slow, small recovery in the game to have such a significant effect in reality. But then again, in the game, they were cultivating immortals, with different constitutions. Qin Yi dismissed this thought.

Ye Fang was very happy to receive the three fruits. Having experienced their effects firsthand, he knew how magical and precious they were. He was grateful that Qin Yi had given him four, and he silently remembered this favor.

"You ate it early. Does the fruit have any other effects? I feel my strength has increased a bit." Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"You said earlier that it was a pity the fruit had no name. I thought about it and came up with a name: Blood Spirit Fruit. What do you think?" Qin Yi was quite proud. This way, it would be easier to refer to, and it would also give the fruit a proper name.

"Blood Spirit Fruit..." Ye Fang repeated, thinking it was a good name.

"I've eaten two. The first one increased my strength and endurance, giving me the physical condition of two adults. The second one didn't have other effects but helped me recover my strength. You've also eaten it, and the effects are obvious, helping to heal injuries." Qin Yi didn't hide anything. There was no need to, but he still needed to go to Shennongjia to set up a fake fruit tree growth site.

"This kind of good thing is rare. I won't eat these three. I'll save them for my grandfather and parents." Ye Fang looked at the three fruits, already planning to give them away. After all, he had already eaten one, and with the effects of the Blood Spirit Fruit, his injuries should improve significantly by night.

Qin Yi didn't say much, letting Ye Fang handle it as he wished. "Don't throw away the seeds. Try planting them. It would be best if they survive."

Qin Yi said this casually, not expecting the Blood Spirit Fruit seeds to survive without spring water and spiritual energy. However, he said this to reduce attention on himself, not because he was afraid of Ye Fang, but to avoid others' speculations.

"Plant them in a remote, well-ventilated place. The Blood Spirit Fruit grows only in Shennongjia, so there must be a reason. It's best to plant them directly in the mountains."

Qin Yi continued to mislead, thinking, "Bro, I'll give you more good things in the future as compensation. I'm also doing this for my own safety." Ye Fang agreed, knowing that such a good thing required specific growing conditions, and getting even three or four was already a stroke of luck.

The two chatted about various topics, and time passed quickly.

By evening, Ye Fang was almost fully recovered, except for not being able to engage in strenuous activities. He couldn't sit still anymore and insisted on being discharged. The doctor had no choice but to call the hospital director, who, seeing that Ye Fang was almost fully recovered, finally agreed to discharge him after a phone call to Ye Fang's family.

The two left the hospital confidently, leaving the hospital staff looking at Ye Fang with puzzled expressions. However, the director had instructed them not to say anything.

With the help of the Blood Spirit Fruit, Ye Fang's almost fully recovered injuries should be fine with a bit of alcohol. So, Qin Yi took Ye Fang out of the hospital and headed straight to a barbecue city. The two, who hadn't eaten well all day, enjoyed a hearty meal and drinks, chatting and boasting happily.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Ye Fang didn't go to a hotel but stayed at Qin Yi's rental apartment for the night. The next morning, he flew back to Beijing. There was no choice; after such a serious accident, his family had given strict orders for him to stay home for a while.

As for Qin Yi, after seeing Ye Fang off, he returned to his rental apartment, packed a few clothes, and headed straight to the train station. He planned to go to Shennongjia that day, as he couldn't delay this.

The main goal was to create a smokescreen in Shennongjia, but he could also enjoy a trip. Qin Yi had always wanted to go, but work and financial constraints had prevented him.

Now, he could have a spontaneous trip! Qin Yi felt elated.

"Shennongjia, here I come..."
