NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 91: The Great Healer Ling Yi
Upon a brief sense check, Ling Yi had an intuitive understanding of his current state. His internal spiritual power was almost fully replenished, while both his physical and mental fatigue had completely recovered.
As the spiritual power within him gradually increased, trying to rely on deep sleep to let his body automatically adjust and recover became less effective.
This wasn’t due to a decline in the quality of deep sleep. On the contrary, as his mental strength increased and his physical abilities strengthened, the 'ego state' during deep sleep enhanced accordingly.
However, the speed of transporting spiritual power within a given time, even if at the maximum capacity Ling Yi’s current body could achieve, still couldn’t manage to completely restore his spiritual power while ensuring comprehensive physical recovery in just one hour.
Ling Yi shook his head silently, sighing to himself, "I still haven't created any methods like 'Basic Internal Force' or 'Basic Breath Control', otherwise, I wouldn't have to rely solely on my body’s instinctual spiritual power circulation..."
He was just too busy!
Since crossing over, it had been almost sixteen years, just three months shy, and his schedule was packed to the brim.
The classic scenario - possessing too little and needing too much.
Of course, thanks to his efforts, he managed to achieve a lot; he put in a lot and gained a lot.
Lying on the bed, Ling Yi didn’t get up. Instead, he closed his eyes, channeling his focus in two ways. One part of his mind initiated meditation training, controlling the spiritual power within him to actively circulate and speed up recovery.
The other part of his mind simulated a system panel within himself, organizing and listing his current state.

Compared to nine and five years ago, Ling Yi has evolved from a blank slate to an elite, now reaching the level of a small boss capable of commanding others.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, such an existence is rare, arguably a standout talent among many.
In his previous life, while reading with a fellow literature student in the library, Ling Yi once came across a miscellaneous book titled "The Saint of the White Tiger Chronicles the Debate and Naming Records." In it, there was this passage: "Five become prosperous, ten are chosen, a hundred are handsome, a thousand are heroes, double heroes are wise, ten thousand are outstanding, and ten thousand outstanding form the saints." Prosperous talent, chosen talent, handsome talent... up to a sage, which marks the pinnacle of humanity.
However, aside from his martial soul, Ling Yi possesses a body cultivated and hardened to rival a soul master of the beast martial soul, wielding incredible strength of a thousand jins, far from ordinary!
In addition, Ling Yi possesses a myriad of skills outside the soul technique system.
'Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Boxing Structure' offers nine forms. Not only do these forms serve as methods to refine the body, but they also function as self-created combat techniques usable in battle.
Li Ergou of the Hanfeng Camp had a first soul skill: Light as a Swallow. Ling Yi gradually transformed it into a light-footed technique called 'Flying on Grass.'
Zhang Mufeng's first soul skill, Whirlwind Stick Dance, was combined with Ling Yi's mastery of basic staff techniques, birthing a preliminary form of the 'Thousand-Jin Staff Technique.'
Drawing from short clips viewed in his past life, Ling Yi began to explore and develop a hint of the 'Lin Seal' from the shapeless 'Nine Words Incantation Hand Signs.'
This tiny breakthrough allowed him to enter a state of 'calm concentration'—a tranquility formerly requiring serene meditation—simply through a hand sign.
With these achievements, Ling Yi could boldly proclaim among those under thirty or below the level of Soul Expert: 'I'm not targeting anyone...'
Indeed, even without utilizing sneak attacks, purely in the context of life-and-death clashes on the arena stage, if all his techniques were unleashed, he could defeat a Soul Expert with a first white ring and a third yellow ring, despite lacking the 'Flowing Brilliant Black Gold Inner Armor' for protection, by risking injury for victory.
As for injuries, being a healing-type soul master, Dr. Ling Yi doesn't find them troublesome.~
Nowadays, the majority of soul masters in the Shuimu Principality reverently address Ling Yi as the 'Great Healer' Ling Yi!
This title, 'Great Healer,' akin to the epithets 'Immovable King Zhao Wuji,' 'Titan,' and 'Great Power King Taino,' is a distinctive honor recognized by the outside world, highlighting the unique personality of a soul master.
In early May of this year, Ling Yi acquired the "Soul Skill: Finger Regrowth" with his second soul ring. After conducting tests on various animals for over ten days and confirming there were no life-threatening side effects, he decisively selected a few lucky soldiers from the cold-wind camp.
Some had new wounds yet to heal, while others carried old injuries. Encouraged by Ling Yi's well-established reputation, they began undergoing surgical treatments previously unheard of.
In addition to the troops from the cold-wind camp, soul masters emerging from the 'Frost Forest' with injuries also sought effective treatment under Ling Yi's care.
The medical fees varied based on the severity of the injury, as well as the amount of soul power and energy Ling Yi expended during the healing process.
Payments were accepted in gold soul coins, soul beast materials, rare herbs, temporary labor, sparring opportunities, or research materials.
By the end of June, the cold-wind camp and 'Frost Forest' couldn't satisfy Ling Yi's ambitions. Thus, he embarked on a journey across the Water Wood Principality.
Familiar with the terrain, Ling Yi had already traversed the three major cities and four military divisions, as well as the guarded hunters' forest alongside the military and the Iron Smith Association's Water Wood Principality branch.
There, he planted hundreds of "Blue Silver Grass" with his own hands.
Traveling nearly five thousand miles and aiding both ordinary people and soul masters, Ling Yi treated more than three thousand individuals.
Over the span of nearly two hundred days, there were times where he spent over ten hours in a single day, healing over eighty patients in a small town.
As Ling Yi mastered various injuries and ailments, his proficiency with his two main soul skills grew deeper.
Now, he could precisely control the minimal soul power necessary to generate the right amount of healing energy, as well as deftly wield the miraculous energy from his second soul skill to reconnect severed body parts with ease.
In this endeavor, it does not merely involve the use of soul techniques. A thorough understanding and complete knowledge of the human body's various parts, organs, and muscles are essential to achieve the meticulous art of restoring limbs.
Further expertise in using silver needles to seal veins, the precise preparation of herbal medicines, and a series of other specialized skills are also required.
Indeed, the title of 'Great Healer' is well-deserved by Ling Yi!
