The situation for Elder Mingxin is even better than the Mink Clan disciples had anticipated.

Originally, Elder Mingxin was always in a comatose state, only able to maintain a weak lifeline relying on the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, but after several days of treatment by Fang Bai, when the strong members of the Mink Clan entered the stone house, they found him seated cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, with only a somewhat pale complexion, everything was developing in a good direction.

It was only at this time that the three elder brothers of the Mink Clan, including Elder Mingjing, genuinely felt relieved, they suppressed their emotions of excitement and quickly walked to the bedside.

"Brother Mingxin, how are you feeling now?"

Elder Mingjing was the first to ask.

Elder Mingxin slowly opened his eyes, sweeping his gaze over the faces of the three Mink Clan elder brothers in front, and although he hadn’t spoken, his eyes became red.

He had suffered severe injuries, although he had been in a coma, he had some awareness of the things happening around him, knowing that over the years, these three elder brothers had frequently traversed the Immortal Realm seeking Immortal Pills and elixirs to heal his injuries. Although it hadn’t been effective, he was deeply moved nonetheless.

"I’m alright..."

Elder Mingxin spoke slowly, his voice somewhat dry and raspy due to years of coma.

"According to Immortal Friend Fang, my body is now in a state of full recovery, and within one or two months, I should heal; within one or two years, I am hopeful to restore my peak combat prowess..."

As Elder Mingxin spoke, excitement brought a blush to his pale face, and after pausing, he looked toward the door of the stone house and gratefully said: "All of this is thanks to Immortal Friend Fang. To me, Immortal Friend Fang’s kindness is equal to rebirth!"

He still does not know Fang Bai’s true identity at this moment, but the kindness of Fang Bai’s treatment is enough to make him grateful for a lifetime.

Upon hearing this, Elder Mingjing, Mingzhi, Mingyou, and other strong Mink Clan members nodded in agreement.

Had it not been for Fang Bai, the sliver of life within Elder Mingxin would have gradually disappeared, and this generation’s Immortal Emperor Realm expert would have ultimately faced death.

Originally, the strong members of the Mink Clan only hoped that Fang Bai’s intervention could preserve Elder Mingxin’s life; they dared not hope that his injuries could heal in a short time, nor did they imagine restoring Elder Mingxin’s peak combat prowess.

However, looking at Elder Mingxin’s current condition, it truly seems possible for his injuries to heal quickly, so the Mink Clan members also believe that Fang Bai might indeed have the ability to restore Elder Mingxin’s cultivation to its peak state.

Therefore, the phrase "kindness equal to rebirth" that Elder Mingxin speaks is entirely deserving for Fang Bai.

"In the future, our Mink Clan will surely reward Immortal Friend Fang greatly for this kindness!"

Elder Mingjing said with firm resolution.

When the present Mink Clan members witnessed the two respected elders addressing Immortal Fang Bai as "Immortal Friend Fang," they couldn’t help but be moved.

These two elders are renowned Immortal Emperor Realm experts, in front of them, Fang Bai, with only the cultivation of a Third-Grade Immortal King, was originally just a "junior Immortal."

Yet it was this "junior Immortal" who accomplished what these Immortal Emperor Realm experts couldn’t, creating a miracle they found hard to believe.

The two elders addressing Fang Bai as "Immortal Friend Fang" evidently place Fang Bai on an equal footing with them, showing Fang Bai enough respect.

Recalling Fang Bai’s prior caution, the strong members dared not say much to Elder Mingxin, exchanging only a few simple words before successively exiting, leaving Elder Mingxin to peacefully recuperate within the stone house.

On the same day, the news of Elder Mingxin awakening spread to the ears of all the Mink Clan disciples on Mount Luohu, and although most of the Mink Clan disciples didn’t know Elder Mingxin might heal and his strength may recover to peak status, this news still excited them immensely, many disciples silently prayed for Elder Mingxin, hoping he could recover soon.

Though the Mink Clan has declined, the three major Demon Clans of Tigers, Bears, and Wolves have never ceased suppressing them, if the news of Elder Mingxin’s awakening spreads, it will surely shock the three major Demon Clans, potentially bringing trouble.

Considering this, the three elder Mink Clan members, Mingjing, Mingzhi, Mingyou, strictly instructed all Mink Clan disciples not to spread this news, lest they face severe punishment.

The following day, Fang Bai recovered completely, emerging from cultivation; as he had just arrived at the stone house where Elder Mingjing lived, Mingzhu and Lightning Mink came to him together.

Lightning Mink and Mingzhu are extremely congenial, having known each other for just a day and night, but had become confidants in conversation, in the eyes of other Mink Clan experts, their relationship was growing ever closer, almost like a pair of Immortal companions.

"Fang..."

Having heard Fang Bai had come out of seclusion, Mingzhu excitedly brought Lightning Mink to find Fang Bai, yet after seeing Fang Bai, she found herself unsure how to address him, her mouth half-open, her expression slightly embarrassed.

Calling him Fang Bai? It seemed too disrespectful to call him by name directly; he was now the savior of Elder Mingxin and grateful throughout the entire Mink Clan.

Calling him Immortal Friend Fang? The elder clan members all called him "Junior Immortal Friend," as a junior of the Mink Clan, if she were to address him likewise, it would seem disrespectful to the elder members.

Calling him Upper Immortal Fang? Hmm, that sounded about right, though he and she were of similar age, his cultivation was two minor realms higher, and calling him "Upper Immortal" showed her respect!

After agonizing this mindfully for a moment, Mingzhu then wore a smile and sweetly called: "Upper Immortal Fang!"

Fang Bai glanced at her, then at the slightly embarrassed Lightning Mink, asking with a smile: "Little Miss, what do you need from me?"

Little Miss? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Mingzhu paused at this address.

"This Fang Bai, his age is similar to mine, only his cultivation level is slightly stronger. Shouldn’t he be calling me by name instead? To call me Little Miss... fine, considering you saved Elder Mingxin and that Lightning Mink listens to you, I’ll tolerate it!"

Mingzhu took a deep breath to steady her demeanor, maintaining composure without letting emotions fluctuate.

"Erm..."

Mingzhu stepped back slightly, lagging half a step behind Lightning Mink, saying to Fang Bai: "Little Mink wants to ask you something..."

Fang Bai uttered an "Oh," then looked at Lightning Mink, waiting for him to speak.

Lightning Mink was lightly nudged by Mingzhu, scratching his head, saying: "Actually, it’s nothing much, Mingzhu said... among the Mink Clan, only newborn minks are called Little Mink... so, I don’t want to be called Little Mink... I want to have a name..."

Fang Bai laughed heartily, waving his hand: "Didn’t expect it to be such a little thing! You decide such a minor matter yourself."

Instantly, Mingzhu’s eyes sparkled, eagerly saying: "Upper Immortal Fang, what do you think about him being called Mingyu?"

She thought the names of the four elder clan members and herself all began with "Ming," if Lightning Mink was named Mingyu, then coupled with her name’s "Zhu," it would be "Pearl and Jade," sounding quite charming.

So, while secretly discussing with Lightning Mink before, Mingzhu gave him this name, and Lightning Mink didn’t care about the name’s quality, just having one was enough; his sole requirement was Fang Bai’s approval.
