Zoe Shen had earned the qualification to travel to Celestia, but she found herself filled with doubt.
Although Dr. Ethan Zhao hadn't cured her illness, Zoe never doubted his medical skills. If he wasn't truly skilled, he wouldn't be standing here, performing health checks for the Celestia expedition.
Dr. Ethan Zhao had said she couldn't begin martial cultivation until she recovered. If he said so, it must be true. Yet in reality, not only could she cultivate, she had always felt perfectly fine.
"Ziyu, I should have given you the elixir earlier. I didn't expect the health check to happen right after passing the Wood Martial Hall trial." Ron Tao frowned as he saw Zoe Shen emerge from the examination room, his expression clouded by concern. He guessed she hadn't passed.
"How long does it take for the elixir to work?" Zoe Shen didn't reveal she had passed, but simply asked.
"It should take a few days. Try the check again in a couple days," Ron Tao replied, a bit uncertain.
"Got it. Thanks!" Zoe Shen answered, then hurried off to find Auntie Fang. If Uncle Zhao was right about her needing to recover before martial training, then she must have gotten better before entering the Martial Academy. That could only have happened during her last hospital stay, when she was unconscious for a while. Only Auntie Fang knew what treatments she received during that time.
