Chapter 274 will be updated tomorrow.

When she returned to the thatched hut, she found the old man gone, leaving only a note that read: "Miss Ruanruan, thank you for saving my life. I was a reclusive master, and now my time is near. I came to test whether there are still compassionate healers in the world. You have passed. There is a medical book I left for you in this hut." Xue Ruanruan was astonished. Following the instructions on the note, she found the medical book and opened it. Inside were countless lost medical techniques and secret formulas. From then on, Xue Ruanruan's medical skills became even more refined. Villagers nearby heard of this and came to seek her treatment. One day, a child suffering from a serious illness came, and all the other doctors were helpless. Xue Ruanruan used her newly learned medical skills to carefully treat the child. Under her meticulous care, the child's condition gradually improved. The child's parents were extremely grateful, but Xue Ruanruan simply smiled and said it was a doctor's duty. From then on, Xue Ruanruan's reputation spread far and wide, and she became a revered healer. However, she remained true to her original aspiration, traveling far and wide to practice medicine and help the world. Xue Ruanruan returned to her thatched hut with the money, using it to repair it and buy more medicinal herbs. From then on, she continued practicing medicine while simultaneously studying medical techniques, and her reputation spread far and wide. One day, as Xue Ruanruan was organizing herbs in her hut, a commotion suddenly arose outside. Going out to investigate, she saw a wealthy merchant with many servants carrying a stretcher seeking medical help. On the stretcher lay an unconscious young girl, her face as white as paper. Xue Ruanruan quickly brought the girl inside to examine her. Upon examination, she discovered the girl suffered from a rare heart ailment, requiring a precious medicinal herb—the Ice Spirit Grass. This herb grew on the summit of a snow-capped mountain and was extremely difficult to obtain. Xue Ruanruan looked up at the merchant, who hesitated, "This Ice Spirit Grass is truly difficult to find; please, divine physician, find a way." Xue Ruanruan pondered for a moment, "I will personally go to the snow-capped mountain to find it." Everyone was shocked; the snow-capped mountain was fraught with danger. But Xue Ruanruan was determined. She packed her bags and set off for the snow-capped mountain. The journey was fraught with wind and snow, the mountain path rugged and difficult. After countless hardships, she finally reached the foot of the snow-capped mountain. Gazing at the towering peaks reaching into the clouds, Xue Ruanruan took a deep breath and began her ascent. She carefully retrieved the Ice Spirit Grass from a crevice in the mountainside, as if holding a precious pearl. The Ice Spirit Grass shimmered with a faint blue light in her hand, like stars in the night sky, mysterious and captivating. She examined the Ice Spirit Grass closely; its leaves were crystal clear, as if sculpted from ice crystals, their veins clearly visible. Each leaf exuded a chilling aura, making her shiver involuntarily. Xue Ruanruan sat quietly by the window, her gaze gazing through the glass at the vast, desolate land in the distance. Her thoughts drifted involuntarily to the distant frontier, where her brave and fearless father and brothers were fighting valiantly against the enemy. Thinking of her father, his tall and resolute figure seemed to appear before her eyes. Her father always led from the front, charging into battle with boundless courage and determination in every swing of his sword. His illustrious achievements struck fear into the hearts of his enemies. Thinking of her elder brother, he was also an outstanding warrior. Young and promising, he was agile, intelligent, and brave. On the battlefield, he was as fierce as a tiger, defeating invading enemies time and again. Xue Ruanruan knew the dangers and hardships her father and brother faced. She gripped the Ice Spirit Grass tightly, preparing to descend the mountain. However, an avalanche suddenly struck the snow-capped mountain. She hurriedly searched for shelter and fortunately found a small cave. Entering the cave, Xue Ruanruan discovered that the walls were covered with strange runes, seemingly related to ancient medicine. She temporarily forgot the danger and focused on studying them. Just then, a small, snow-white beast appeared at the cave entrance. The beast's eyes, like sapphires, curiously observed Xue Ruanruan. Xue Ruanruan took out some dry rations, which the beast sniffed and began to eat. The little beast then turned and ran away, returning shortly with a medicinal herb at Xue Ruanruan's feet. This herb turned out to be a miraculous cure for heart ailments. After the avalanche stopped, Xue Ruanruan hurriedly descended the mountain with the two herbs and safely returned to her hut. She immediately began using the herbs to treat the girl. After several days and nights of careful care, the girl finally awoke. Upon waking, the girl learned that Xue Ruanruan had risked her life to find the medicine and save her, and her eyes were filled with gratitude. When the girl's family took her home, they gifted Xue Ruanruan many treasures. Unable to refuse, Xue Ruanruan accepted some and used it to help the poor.
