"Uh, comminuted fracture of the pelvis, and the femur too. The bones at the base of the thigh are all comminuted fractures…"
Bailu looked at the examination results in front of her with a strange expression, then turned to the young man beside her, who was heavily wrapped in bandages.
"Patient, how did you manage to get such a rare injury, a comminuted fracture in that area?"
"Ah, this… Can I not say?" The young man awkwardly wiped cold sweat from his forehead.
Bailu tilted her head slightly and said, "Alright, I won't ask about that. But why do you have so many bite marks on your neck? Judging by the teeth marks, they're from a Foxian. Did you eat their snacks to get bitten like this?"
"Ah…"
Hearing this, the man's expression became even more unnatural. He subconsciously pulled up his collar with both hands, trying to cover his neck.
"Whether you tell me or not is up to you, but if your concealment leads to a deviation in treatment, you'll have to bear all responsibility yourself, okay?" Bailu glanced at the strange man in front of her and reminded him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Doctor Bailu. I just need a little medicine to help my body recover. I heal quite quickly," the young man said.
"Mhm. Your medicine is packed. Remember to use it as instructed. Although you are a Long-Lived Species, your body is still your own, and you shouldn't abuse it casually," Bailu said as she handed him the medicine.
"Thank you, Doctor Bailu. I'll be going now." After getting the medicine, the man quickly got up and left the Alchemy Division without hesitation.

Outside the Alchemy Division
A heroic Foxian woman stood in a secluded corner, arms crossed, leaning against the wall as she waited.
If any Xianzhou native saw her, they would surely recognize her as the renowned Heavenly Strike General of the Yaoqing Xianzhou, Fei Xiao.
Not long after, the man who had just picked up medicine from Bailu came out. He first glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he approached the corner where Fei Xiao was.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Seeing him return, Fei Xiao stepped forward and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Just a comminuted fracture. At most, I'll be in pain for half an hour. It won't kill me," the man said with a smile, patting his chest.
His name was Aether. He was a transmigrator without a system or a golden finger. He had resorted to all means to survive and was unexpectedly chosen by Abundance to become a new Emanator.
He had originally worried about not surviving, but with the blessing of Abundance, he at least had enough security for retirement.
Aether had no interest in the conflict between the Xianzhou and the Abominations of Abundance. He only wanted to find a good job on the Luofu, slack off, and preferably marry a beautiful wife.
But no matter how carefully he calculated, he never expected to get involved with the Great Victory General, and in that kind of relationship.
The story had to start from yesterday.

"My lord, we've brought the things you requested."
Several Followers of Abundance, having evaded the Cloud Knights' inspection, approached Aether and spoke respectfully.
"Oh? Let me see what treasures you've managed to acquire." Upon hearing that they had obtained something, Aether, who had been lying on a lounge chair like a lord, immediately sat up.
The Followers of Abundance exchanged glances and each pulled out various items from their pockets.
"My lord, please see. This is a relic of an unknown Astral Express crew member…"
"My lord, this is a Foxian bellyband…"
"My lord…"
As a pile of items was brought out, Aether eagerly began to examine them one by one. "Hmm, this is not bad. It's a good item. With a little hype, it could sell for a lot."
When he looked at the red bellyband, he could not help but complain. "A bellyband? You little pervert, are you that kinky? Didn't I tell you to find treasures? Why bring a bellyband? I'm confiscating it!"
After saying that, he shoved the red bellyband into his pocket, not giving the man a chance to regret it.
Although some strange things were mixed in, most of the items were still exquisite and sellable. After Aether picked out some promising-looking things, he prepared to leave.
"My lord, aren't you going to spread Abundance for the Medicinal King?"
Seeing that Aether had no intention of fulfilling his responsibilities as an Emanator of Abundance, the Followers of Abundance could not help but ask.
"No need, and I won't do it. Abundance is selfless dedication, not a cause of disaster. You should all just be honest people and stop thinking about crooked schemes."
With those words, Aether left, leaving the Followers of Abundance staring at one another in confusion.

Marketplace
"Passersby, don't miss out! Strange and wonderful things! There's nothing you can imagine that I can't get!"
Aether put on his shady merchant sunglasses and began to hawk his wares. He was now mostly free from worries about food and clothing. Aside from going online, tinkering with strange items to sell was his greatest pleasure.
As for whether he could make money, that was up to fate. If he made money, great. If not, no loss.
"Hm? Boss, what are you selling here?" At that moment, Fei Xiao, passing through the market, noticed Aether's stall and curiously stepped forward.
"Oh! You have good taste, beautiful lady! I don't sell ordinary things here, only rare goods. Feel free to take a look," Aether said with a grin.
"Hm, boss, what is this thing?" Fei Xiao casually scanned the stall and quickly spotted a peculiar device.
"Oh, this is a good item," Aether said, leaning in mysteriously.
"This was acquired from the Borisin. It is said to carry Borisin genes, including the hereditary Moon Frenzy."
"Beautiful lady, since you're new here, I'll quietly tell you that when my people got this, they were chased by many Borisin and almost lost their lives. There must be a very important secret inside."
Hearing this, Fei Xiao's expression remained calm, but her heart tensed slightly. If what the boss said was true, then this item might really contain what she needed.
Fei Xiao had always been plagued by the Moon Frenzy in her bloodline. As she continued to fight battles across the stars, the after-effects became more frequent. Now, she urgently needed a way to temporarily alleviate the symptoms.
Looking at the slightly cunning Aether in front of her, Fei Xiao tossed the item in her hand and said, "Interesting. Name your price, boss."
"Oh, beautiful lady, you truly have discerning eyes. How about this? I'll give you a discount. Five hundred Stellar Jade. How does that sound?" Aether rubbed his hands together.
"Five hundred. Alright, I'll buy it. Someone will pay you later," Fei Xiao said readily.
"Thank you for your patronage!"

After returning to her residence, Fei Xiao immediately found Jiaoqiu and began to examine the item she had bought from Aether.
"Uh, are you sure this contains what you need?" Jiaoqiu looked at the device in front of him and asked with some uncertainty.
"I'm not sure, but I have to try. What if I stumble onto it by accident?" Fei Xiao replied casually, clearly unconcerned.
