Ling Tian had the elder step forward and sit cross-legged on the cushion. Following that, Ling Tian hung a jade pendant around the elder's neck and tied two more jade pendants to his wrists with a red string.
Ling Tian first taught Elder Lu a breathing technique, instructing him to focus his mind and spirit, breathe slowly, and regulate the circulation of qi and blood within his body.
While this was happening, Ling Tian opened his medicine chest and took out sixteen jade pendants, varying in size, each about the palm of a hand.
Holding a compass in his left hand, he carefully arranged the jade pendants on the ground, encircling the two cushions in the center.
When the last jade pendant was placed in its designated position, the airflow inside and outside the flower room suddenly changed.
Even the Lu family members watching Ling Tian's treatment from outside the glass greenhouse, as well as the experts from the Health Bureau, were astonished.
Ling Tian had set up a spirit-gathering formation. Although this was in the suburbs, the concentration of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth was far inferior to that of deep mountains and old forests. Therefore, Ling Tian used sixteen jade pendants to construct an enhanced spirit-gathering formation.
Ling Tian waited for a while until the concentration of spiritual energy in the flower room reached a certain level. He then moved behind Elder Lu and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
Ling Tian formed hand seals and then placed his hands on Elder Lu's body.
Elder Lu could feel a very cool and comfortable energy flowing from Ling Tian's hands into his head and body.
At this moment, a large amount of spiritual energy was also absorbed by Ling Tian's body. After being converted into true essence within Ling Tian, it was continuously transmitted into the elder's body.
This true essence continuously nourished the elder's body, filling his dry meridians.
The hidden injuries that had accumulated in his body over the years, as well as the damaged tissues, were replaced by new cells under the effect of the true essence.
The waste produced by metabolism was burned away by the heat carried by the true essence.
The entire treatment process lasted for more than three hours. Finally, Ling Tian injected true essence into the jade pendant on the elder's neck and the two jade pendants on his wrists, activating the formations on the pendants, and then ceased the treatment.
Ling Tian then stood up and collected all the jade pendants from the ground, placing them back into the medicine chest.
At this moment, Ling Tian was drenched in sweat, his face pale, and even his lips were somewhat blue. He looked completely exhausted, though this was all an act.
In contrast, Elder Lu was now rosy-cheeked and in excellent spirits. The wrinkles on his face had even lessened, and the age spots on his skin had faded considerably. He looked as if he had become twenty years younger!
What was even more astonishing was that the elder's legs were not very good. His legs had suffered too many injuries, and coupled with his advanced age, he usually needed assistance to walk. However, at this moment, the elder actually stood up from the ground on his own and walked around quickly without any support.
Elder Lu even moved his arms while walking, performing calisthenics. This display completely stunned the onlookers.
At this point, everyone noticed Ling Tian's condition, and Elder Lu quickly walked over.
"Ling Tian, are you alright? What's wrong?"
"Elder, I'm a bit overexerted. I need a quiet room to sleep and rest now. This treatment has consumed a great deal of my energy, and it might take me two to three years to recover. However, it's all worth it if I can cure your illness!"
"Oh, my child, to sacrifice so much for an old man like me who is about to enter the earth."
At this moment, a doctor in his early fifties, wearing glasses, walked over.
"Hello, Doctor Ling Tian, I am Elder Lu's personal physician, Wang Jian. How is the elder's condition now? Is the treatment finished, and what should be paid attention to next?"
The elder spoke, "Doctor Wang, don't ask yet. Look how tired Ling Tian is. Let him rest first, and we'll talk after he recovers."
Ling Tian waved his hand, "It's alright, no matter how tired I am, I still have the strength to speak a few words. Doctor Wang, my treatment for Elder Lu is complete. The subsequent matters should be handled by you professionals. The elder should maintain a balanced diet, get enough rest, and stay in a good mood. Avoid strenuous activities and emotional fluctuations. Maintaining a year of high-quality survival is not a problem! As for medication, you can stop it. I have thoroughly conditioned the elder's body, and he should have no more health concerns. As for supplements, there's no need for special tonics; maintaining a balanced diet and normal dietary therapy is sufficient..."
Ling Tian spoke in detail, and Doctor Wang Jian listened very attentively, using a voice recorder to note down every word Ling Tian said.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot the most crucial thing! The elder has three jade pendants on his person. These three jade pendants have the same function: they can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then convert this spiritual energy into a form of energy to sustain the elder's body! In fact, one of these three jade pendants is enough to wear, but I still recommend that you wear all three jade pendants at all times. Even if, for special reasons, you need to take off the jade pendants, they should not be separated from the body for more than three days... Furthermore, the energy contained within these three jade pendants can sustain him for at least three years!"
"Alright, I've noted it down. Please rest assured, I will definitely not let the elder be separated from these jade pendants."
Elder Lu, now very curious, held the jade pendant hanging on his chest and examined it closely, marveling at the patterns on the jade.
"Ling Tian, this is high technology! I'd say it's wasted on me; it would be better used for scientific research..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian quickly replied, "Elder, research in this area is already underway. It won't miss this one jade pendant. You should live well and enjoy the rest of your life; that's what everyone hopes for."
"Alright, I'll listen to you, old man! You go rest now!"
Lu Weiguo personally stepped forward and escorted Ling Tian to a guest room. Ling Tian entered the room, took a large quantity of medicine in front of them, and then collapsed onto the bed to sleep.
Meanwhile, Elder Lu was once again taken by a group of medical experts for a comprehensive examination. The results shocked everyone. The elder's current physical condition was comparable to that of a healthy sixty-year-old man. They could not explain how this had happened and could only describe it as a miracle.
