Chapter 235: A Change in Relationship

Trying to move as quickly as possible, I ask Elder Gu to lie down on the medical table.

He seems relieved to just be able to lie down to take a breath and quickly faces the ceiling of the building.

I might as well get this done as quickly as possible.

Immediately, I moved my hands towards his stomach area.

Before I begin, Senior Song whispers something to me.

I know youre skilled with your healing techniques, but Id like to use my spiritual sense to watch how you do it, to better understand your ability.

If Im going to help you in the future, Ill need to know what you can do.

I assumed she was going to watch with her spiritual sense, regardless of whether or not I wanted her to. Considering her words, her asking in this way shows a level of care.

With this in mind, I quickly nod my head and focus back in on the elders body.

Unlike Senior Songs condition, Elder Gus Issue is pretty straightforward. Hes just horribly burned and damaged internally.

At first, I was wondering why he would protect his skin to the extent that he did But it seems to have been focused on preventing others from seeing how much damage he actually took. As even in this sect, there are those that would take advantage of weaknesses.

He damaged his cultivation base, meridians, and dantians. His organs are a charred mush. If I didnt know the resilience of cultivators and the efficacy of potions, Id be wondering how he was still alive.

Likely, those potions he took before would allow him to heal. It would just take decades of cultivating and healing.

From the amount of qi circulating and his cultivation base, his power level was likely middle nascent soul before, with his actual strength after the tribulation now being more around low core formation. Still pretty high from taking such a hit.

My hands hover over his stomach, glowing. Using my healing technique, I slowly probe towards his center, clearing and repairing the organs within. Just like with Senior Song, I also use my healing aura to maintain the body as I do these changes and supplement the healing.

Keeping in mind her request to do the same as I did for her, I heal him to the best of my ability.

Funnily enough, just having an injured body, no matter how injured, is simpler for me to heal. Curses make things more difficult, by several degrees.

The real issue with his body will be the damage to his cultivation.

I can still heal it. Which will be weird to explain.

How did the lost cultivation base return without an elixir or cultivating? will be the first question asked. The only good thing about cultivation is how mysterious it is, even to the people practicing it.

Im not sure is still a valid answer in this world for such things. But there comes a point where even that wont work as an excuse.

Subconsciously, I look at Senior Song. Her eyes are locked on me, her spiritual sense lingering within the area and his body.

But it finally gets finished.

We have optimized him in every way. From his muscles and body being stronger than ever, to the slight imbalances in his qi from his cultivation techniques, and especially within his spirit root, which was 2 Orchid Heaven and now 4 Orchid Heaven, hes been upgraded.

The moment I finish, he sits up and looks down at his hands and body. I can barely sense him circulating Qi the moment I leave his body with my cultivation technique.

Being able to heal Nascent Soul elders so easily is definitely going to cause me both boons and headaches later. I should prepare myself for that.

Despite my best efforts to hide it, my anxiety towards the future seeps out into my unconscious actions. Something that couldnt be hidden from cultivators of their level.

Right then, I feel a hand affectionately lay on my shoulder.

Looking over at Senior Song, whos now behind me, I can see her smiling happily over at Elder Gu. Like when she was healed by me, Im struck by the radiance of her beauty. Her scent washes over me, shaking me slightly before I refocus.

As Ive gotten more used to it, while riding beside her on the swords, Im able to slightly disconnect her scents and the feelings that arise within me because of it.

Mostly.

Still doesnt change how intensely attracted to her I am.

When she turns that face towards me, I can feel my face warm up a bit. Her smile grows larger, clearly noticing my look and what it means.

She leans in to my ear, pressing her curvaceous body against mine. It becomes a significantly harder to keep focused.

A tantalizing whisper reaches my ear.

Youve done well my dear disciple. You definitely wont regret doing this. There will be many benefits from doing this.

I cant help but lock my eyes onto her cat-like, misty blue eyes.

She smiles, indicating she means it in multiple ways, as her arm motions over to Elder Gu. I reluctantly move my eyes away from her to him.

She pulls away a bit, finishing out her words.

Trust me. Youll see what I mean.

Hes now standing and looking over at us with a conflicted look.

But thats only for the briefest moment. Likely a much longer one from his perspective.

I see him stand straighter, moving his shoulders back. A resolute expression comes over his face.

Little brother, thank you for taking such good care of my sister here.

sister?
