Chapter 240: Going for a Refill

With Master Ming laying before me, I examine him, first with my healing cultivation ability and then subtly with my scanning ability.

What is shown is amazingly simple.

He really just had his cultivation base completely destroyed, poisoning all of his meridians and causing (normally) irreparable damage. While simple, it is utterly devastating. From the way it appears, it wasnt from an external source, but internal.

Maybe a contract failure? Ironic for a contract maker, but I cant imagine he would do this willingly to himself otherwise.

Either way, this will be simple to fix. Just hard to explain, if asked.

Luckily, I think the unspoken rule for me healing them like this is to not talk about it too much.

Using my cultivation technique and aura, I quickly heal him.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

As they were being respectful and not using their spiritual senses, its no surprise that everyone around is shocked when I stand up and speak.

Okay, its done. Be careful as you circulate your qi within your middle dantian. Your lower dantian should be safe to use until then, though. As of now, you should be back at peak Core Formation.

Master Mings eyes open with a bright light as he sits up straight.

Everyones eyes widen at him and then me, for a multitude of reasons.

First, a first rank Qi Condensation cultivator has completely restored a Core Formation experts cultivation base.

The first question crossing their minds will probably be where all the qi is coming from. I have refilled his vast qi reserves.

To put it in perspective, I currently have 3 qi units he has, at the very least, over 38,500 units.

Thats not even close to an amount that can be hand waved away with efficient healing.

Even more so when it didnt pull that much qi from the local area. Some have been, of course, but not anything near that quantity.

The next thought would be, if I could repair a cultivation base and refill qi that easily what would it be like in a battle?

At the beginning of these thoughts of mine, they were already looking sharply at each other. The benefit of being high end cultivators, despite their age and reduction.

Master Ming speaks his mind first.

We have much more to discuss than I had assumed.

He looks at his friends and Sister Nuan before speaking further.

Despite my scan being on and alert for dangers, both active and passive, I only now sense the formation that covers this entire building. The one they are now reinforcing with their power, as Senior Tian performs several hand symbols that form almost words and figures in the area that dive into the ground.

Would my scan have caught a formation that might be harmful to me? I may need to adjust my scan yet again.

Dang it. This one appears to be much more intensive. Obtrusively so.

Its like reading into hidden information, if it is not easily discernable.

Looks like Ill have to put a feathers worth of scan output into this. Enough to make me feel the slightest bit uncomfortable/aware when there could be a harmful formation. That should give me the opportunity to decide about whether to leave or investigate further.

Better than nothing, though.

The only downside to this is that I wont be able to tell where it is located. Only that it is nearby.

But Im not given more time to mull over this, as I feel a wave of energy pass through me from their location. Theyve just finished.

Now that Im aware of the formation, I can see that it obscures both normal senses and spiritual senses.

When they strengthened it, they were making it even more invisible to a searching eye.

And just in time, too.

My scan picks up a weary sigh from Master Ming as he steps away from the table that he was working at.

Floating in the air before him is a shining piece of paper.

Shimmering with a strange light, it dims down to a barely noticeable glow, all until it looks like a rolled-up scroll.

Before it did so, though, I could catch a few of the major aspects of it.

The biggest one being that breaking its agreements would lead to dispersing your cultivation base and killing you.

A heavy hit indeed.

It is important to note that for Nascent Soul cultivators, this would be a non-permanent hit, since Nascent Soul cultivators have a cultivator soul form that can live outside the life and death of the body. Losing their cultivation base would completely ruin them, of course, but there are ways they could still survive with even that. But recovering from it is a completely different story. Even with help, it would be a high challenge.

With that said, its still an absurdly high-level contract, considering its creator is a Core Formation cultivator, even if hes at the peak.

But theres still one other aspect of the contract to be considered.

Arent the additional conditions a bit much?
