Crack!
Li Nianfan raised the Fallen Demon Sword and split the firewood into halves. He noticed the three of them and smiled. “You three are here together? What a rare sight.”
They bowed and greeted, “Greetings to Mr. Li.”
Li Nianfan focused on Lin Mufeng and his severed arm. He was perturbed. “Brother Lin, your arm…”
Lin Mufeng smiled and said, “Small injury while fighting with someone, not a big deal.”
Small injury?
His arm was gone.
Li Nianfan frowned. He truly realized he was in the Immortal Realm.
He understood the dangers of this realm when Nanan was captured by demons. He felt that danger again and was disturbed by the severed arm. It made him realize that the Immortal Realm was not as peaceful as he thought it was.
Nanan was ordinary, but Lin Mufeng was a cultivator. Li Nianfan knew he was not a beginner level cultivator either. However, his entire arm had been severed.
The Immortal Realm was dangerous!
Thankfully, he always ran into friendly cultivators. He made nice friends, too.
Li Nianfan sympathetically sighed. “You’ve really suffered a lot.”
Lin Mufeng was old but he endured a severed arm. What a miserable situation.
These five words made Lin Mufeng emotional. He instantly teared up and almost sobbed.
‘Mr. Li…feels sorry for me?’
At that moment, Lin Mufeng felt like every effort he made was worth it. He felt like a hardworking kid who had finally received the approval of his parents.
As a chess piece, it was his duty to be on the front lines. Nonetheless, it was nice to be cared for by the expert. How touching. This was the highlight of his life!
He tried not to cry and stayed calm. He said, “I’m fine, I’m alright.”
What a tough old man. He was almost crying but still insisted he was alright.
Li Nianfan felt bad and asked him, “When did you lose your arm?”
Lin Mufeng answered, “Last night.”
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrow and said, “It hasn’t been more than twenty-four hours yet. Maybe you can still fix it.”
Everyone was perplexed by what Li Nianfan said. Their eyes widened in shock.
What did the expert mean by that?
He could still be fixed?
Lin Mufeng trembled and asked nervously, “Mr…Mr. Li, you can fix it?”
Li Nianfan grunted and said, “Maybe not, but we can try.”
He was good friends with Lin Mufeng. He would not turn his back on him. A situation like this would require replantation surgery. He performed this surgery many times on animals when the System was training him, but he had never tried it on a human before.
“Where’s the severed arm?” asked Li Nianfan.
“Here.” Lin Mufeng popped out his severed arm.
Li Nianfan observed the severed arm. He was shocked. The wound was a clean cut. One could only see something like that in the Immortal Realm. It was like the arm got severed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, this lowered the difficulty of the surgery.
The arm was still warm as the incident was fairly recent.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Let’s try it then.”
He had already arranged the surgery knives and scalpels on the stone table.
Lin Mufeng could not believe it. He was excited and nervous. “Now?”
Li Nianfan nodded. “That’s right. The shorter the time before replantation, the better. Take off your top.”
“Okay!” Lin Mufeng nodded and sat next to Li Nianfan.
Then, he took out the Tianxin Bells and put it in front of Li Nianfan, “Oh yeah. Mr. Li, this is a trinket we came across.”
Li Nianfan was intrigued. “Wind chimes? Come on, don’t be so courteous. You always bring me gifts. Don’t do that next time.”
Lin Mufeng said, “Well, we can’t visit without bringing a gift. It’s not something valuable anyway.”
“In that case, I’ll take it.” Li Nianfan accepted it and tied it to a pillar in his pavilion. He was pleased. “It’s a nice little decoration.”
Ring ding!
The bells chimed like it was responding to Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan took a deep breath and grew serious. “Brother Lin, I’m about to begin. The surgery process might be painful, but you’ll have to endure it.”
Lin Mufeng replied, “Do as you wish, Mr. Li. I can handle it.”
Li Nianfan nodded and did not say anything else. He held his scalpel and approached the wound.
It was not hard to reattach a limb in replantation surgery. The hard part was to connect the nerves and arteries back together. Therefore, it was best to operate this surgery within twenty-four hours while the severed limb was still active.
This was the biggest surgery Li Nianfan ever performed since he learnt healing skills. The patient was not ordinary either. It was a cultivator.
It was a special kind of feeling.
The Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun held their breaths as they unfathomably watched Li Nianfan perform the surgery.
They were shocked when they heard from Luo Shiyu that Li Nianfan saved a pregnant woman without using any powers, but it was not as astounding as witnessing it in real life.
They undoubtedly knew that Li Nianfan could help Lin Mufeng regenerate a new arm, since he was an expert. He probably had dozens of regeneration elixirs.
However, Mr. Li chose not to use it. He did not even want to use his powers. He was saving him like an ordinary man!
That was unexpected!
Was this the so-called bigshot level?
It was realer than real.
Scary, too scary!
Li Nianfan was halfway through the surgery. He was unblinking, wearing a serious expression. Every nerve connection, artery rebound, and muscle attachment was crucial. Thankfully, Lin Mufeng was a cultivator. He did not get an infection from that wound so the scraping and sterilization process was unnecessary. Cultivators were more immune from infection.
It made things easier for Li Nianfan.
The bells were chiming. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but Li Nianfan was smiling. He sewed the last thread and the surgery was complete!
He wrapped the wound with gauze and secured the arm in place with two wooden sticks. He sighed and smiled. “It’s done! Avoid moving your arm and avoid water. It’ll heal gradually with time.”
That… Done?
Everyone looked at Li Nianfan in disbelief, then looked at the arm. It was unreal.
Lin Mufeng tried to move the arm but felt a painful sting. He whined.
However, he was happy about it. He said in a surprised tone, “I felt something. It…it worked?!”
