Li Ziran lightly patted the Bone Grasshopper in his pocket, his meaning clear: the woman sent to him wouldn't die.

Now it's his time to show off his skills.

However, to save the Butterfly Girl, surgery on her abdomen was not an option, as Li Ziran was still unsure about the mysterious substance inside her stomach. Treating her cough was undoubtedly the best way to proceed.

This is not only a stepping stone, but also Li Ziran's little secret for dealing with powerful people.

No amount of flowery words can be more convincing than solid technical expertise.

[Transformation Spell - Frog]

As the dark green, Light of Transformation enveloped the Butterfly Girl, a slender Frog appeared in the center of the operating table. Li Ziran took out a red rope, pulled out its hind legs, and hung them directly on the top rod.

Performing surgery on an adult is far less easy than operating on a Frog.

Suddenly deformed, the Butterfly Girl trembled in fear in the air, her frail body causing the bar to thud loudly.

The grasshopper in the pocket also nervously poked its head out, as if worried about the girl's change.

Li Ziran smiled. This was normal; any living being would instinctively struggle after turning into Frog.

Pick up the anesthetic, pour it onto a towel, and cover the Frog's nose. In less than fifteen minutes, it stopped hopping.

"Guard the door. Don't let anyone in without my permission." Li Ziran immediately began giving orders. "Prepare all the medicines I usually use. Remember, don't touch my scalpel. Draw all the curtains, turn on all the lights..."

The Rainbow-tail Girl didn't need Li Ziran's instructions at all; those who stayed were all people who had worked with Li Ziran before and were basically familiar with the process.

Each person stood on one side, drawing the curtains tightly shut. All six Sunstone overhead were turned on, illuminating the entire room brightly. Various medicines were neatly arranged on the long table beside the operating table, and the white cloth in the center was removed and replaced with a waterproof canvas.

While the Rainbow-tail Girl was busy, Li Ziran dipped his hands in the Revival Potion and gently patted the Frog.

The Revival Potion has a very mild effect and can improve skin elasticity, making it the best pre-operative care agent.

About fifteen minutes later, after preparations were complete, Li Ziran put his white coat back on, picked up a scalpel, and gently cut open the Frog's throat.

He was extremely careful, after all, there was a breathing tube and esophagus in the throat, and if they were cut, the Frog would die within seconds. Of course, Li Ziran not afraid, he knew Frog very well and his knife was very steady.

The skin gradually peeled away, revealing delicate flesh and blood. It must be said that the Butterfly Girl's skin was very delicate; even after becoming Frog, her skin was as smooth as mutton fat.

Li Ziran gently scraped off a small piece and placed it into the prepared Thumb Bottle. This had no effect on the surgery, but once this piece of flesh was given to the Split Insect Race, it could be split into flesh and skin sacs filled with Anfuni and replaced with leather.

As the scalpel glided slowly through the delicate flesh, the breathing tube, blood vessels, and esophagus began to emerge, and the scalpel gently sliced along the edges of the three tubes.

The tender, red flesh began to separate, revealing sharp, crystalline fragments.

Although Li Ziran had some expectations, he was still extremely surprised when he saw that the other person's throat was full of shards of glass.

Did this little girl swallow an entire Palm Bottle?

This method of suicide must have been extremely agonizing.

Moreover, these fragments have severed blood vessels, caused scabs to form, and completely penetrated into the blood vessels.

This is clearly thanks to the Life Potion.

This is giving me a headache!

Many sharp fragments were embedded directly in the blood vessels, and some even penetrated the trachea. If they were forcibly pulled out, these wounds could very likely kill the girl.

However, if you are fast enough, applying the Sacred Potion the instant the wound reopens can still prevent danger.

This tests your hand speed!

Li Ziran took a breath. He wasn't in a hurry to deal with the debris connecting the three pipes, because his throat was filled with these tiny glass shards, like thumbtacks, and he had to clean them out bit by bit.

It might even require completely opening the entire throat.

The surgery itself is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After a brief adjustment, I picked up the tweezers, inserted them into the flesh, grasped a piece of debris, and gently pulled it out.

Sizzle!

Blood seeped out from the wound, and Li Ziran quickly picked up the Revival Potion and gently applied it to the wound, which began to heal slowly.

Li Ziran smiled. Such a small wound didn't warrant wasting precious Sacred Potion. However, this small fragment was only the most minor step in the entire surgery.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Li Ziran repeatedly performed the most primitive action, placing the scattered residue one grain at a time into the tray.

Insert tweezers, pick up the residue, and spray the pesticide.

The monotonous movements made Anfuni, who was standing next to her, fall asleep. Even the two Rainbow-tail Girl serving her started to doze off, unconsciously looking out the window. By then, it was completely dark.

It's been a whole day since I started picking up the crumbs, and the once empty tray is now filled with glistening crumbs, turning it a bright red.

"Revival Potion!"

Li Ziran's call made the Rainbow-tail Girl realize that the large bottle of potion was empty. She hurriedly ran to the potion cabinet, took out a large bucket of potion, and poured it into the Palm Bottle.

Night had fallen, and even though Blackwind Pass had completely quieted down, Li Ziran's room was still brightly lit.

The two Rainbow-tail Girl had to lean against the wall to rest for a while. They dared not sleep, afraid that they would be kicked out if they made even the slightest mistake. They knew very well that this was a test.

Anfuni's soft breathing made the two girls envious, especially the Copper-Yellow Frog beneath her, which felt like a soft, fluffy sofa.

Ah!

Li Ziran finally yawned and stretched, which startled the two Rainbow-tail Girl. They stood up, only to find that after stretching, Li Ziran climbed back onto the Frog, this time with Sacred Potion in his hand, and his expression became even more serious.

Hiss!

Blood began to spurt from the walls of the inhalation tube, and the Frog's breathing suddenly became rapid. Although Li Ziran was prepared, the blood spurt that occurred the moment the debris was pulled out was still somewhat out of control.

Fortunately, the Sacred Potion had already been sprayed on, and the breathing tube healed at a visible speed. Only when the Frog's breathing stabilized again did Li Ziran breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, but no real harm was done.

He didn't make another move.

He was feeling a little dizzy; the entire day's surgery had completely exhausted him, but he couldn't stop now. These fragments stuck in his trachea were the most dangerous.

Most importantly, Sandrew was staring at him without moving, and this was far from the peak of his surgical skills.

If a company cannot demonstrate its peak surgical skills, it is very likely that it will not be able to obtain the best trading leverage.

He needs to come to his senses.

"Bring me a basin of cold water!" Li Ziran ordered directly.

"Oh!" The Rainbow-tail Girl, who had been leaning against the corner, snapped out of her daze and hurriedly ran towards the pond, returning shortly with a basin of cold water.

Li Ziran dipped his finger in the towel; it was icy cold, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This stuff was absolutely torture. He turned to the other girl and said, "Give me a towel!"

The Rainbow-tail Girl was confused, but she still prepared as instructed. When she handed over the towel, Li Ziran had already plunged into the basin of water.

Hiss!

The two girls gasped simultaneously. It was the dead of night, and they knew all too well how cold the Wasteland was. The water had just been drawn from the pond.

Seeing the water droplets swirling around Li Ziran's neck, both girls felt as if they had been stuffed into an ice cellar and couldn't help but shiver.

"Towel!"

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly handed it over. She saw this man, whom they considered great, wipe his hair clean, sit down in front of the Frog, and pick up the tweezers.

At this moment, they also came to their senses, looking at Li Ziran with a hint of admiration. Jili was right, this person was indeed extraordinary.

Li Ziran also felt that cold water was indeed a magic potion for clearing his mind; he was now a thousand times more refreshed.

The tweezers removed it, the Sacred Potion was sprayed, and the motion was fluid and graceful.

"This is more like the kind of play I should be doing! Achoo!"

Li Ziran rubbed his nose and chuckled. Although his body was a little hot, his mind was clear.

He liked this clarity of mind, especially during surgery.

I prefer things to be like this now; it's definitely the best.

One, two, and before he knew it, all the debris inserted into the trachea was removed, the blood vessels were cleaned, and the esophagus was also cleared without incident. After confirming that there was no residue left, Li Ziran picked up the Mithril needle, stitched up the wound, and then sprayed it with Sacred Potion.

The wound healed instantly, and then Revival Potion was applied. The only scar was scraped away, finally revealing a fair neck.

"Little girl, you survived, and your vocal cords aren't damaged at all!" Li Ziran said, glancing at the Bone Grasshopper in his pocket.
