Chapter 302: All Aboard!
Even with Sister Nuans trust in what Ive already told her and what shes seen, I can see a little worry on her face.
Ill be able to finish this in two to three days, actually. And Ill be moving to the next rank as I do so, as Ill finally be cultivating while healing.
She nods, but speaks out in a low voice, even in the private area.
Its not you Im worried about, but the people coming in. And from the word Ive received from my contacts some of them may know that you can heal them beyond their current status. Even I cant suppress that many high status and well-informed people.
Thats a good point RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
I may need to keep myself separate from them, to reduce the chance they can get in contact with me.
Yeah, I see what you mean. What would you suggest we do?
It only takes a second for her to answer.
You can use your cultivation techniques at a good distance, right? Would you still be able to do the expected level of healing a few rooms away?
Just what I was thinking.
Yes, though it would be slower from the distance and maintaining the external qi.
Another large smile shines out, and she nods triumphantly.
As expected from my disciple. Then, I will have the patients in the next room over and will attach these two for the qi transfer.
Qi transfer?
Ah. Thats what she means.
Sister Nuan moves over to the door to peek out at the four healers waiting outside.
Hey. Bring the patients to the room across from us and have them setup on the table in there. And you, go prepare the ro
She promptly directs the healers to perform a variety of tasks. Guiding them on the proper protocols, emphasizing the importance of patient traffic and limiting contact throughout the healing process.
With them scrambling to get things done, Sister Nuan closes the door again, but this time, a flurry of symbols shimmers between her palms. The seriousness of the action raises the tension between my shoulders.
Right after completing it, she hands me a jade slip. Its similarity to the one I received from the Dragon in the Library, tells me all I need to know about it.
Within this, I switch over to a variety of other breathing techniques while circulating my qi within my body.
Flowing in through my twelve meridians, going between each other into the eight connecting ones, they intertwine, as it all moves as a coherent, continuous stream. Just as it should.
And this, all the while bringing in the dense qi outside of my body, into it. Methodically assimilating it into the cycle.
Like a whirlpool, I sense the ambient qi in the area being drawn to me in large quantities. With the benefit of this room becoming apparent, as it is meant to be an area that continuously collects ambient qi.
Some of the qi naturally escapes, but I still trap a significant quantity of qi within my dantians and meridians. Bringing anything left back in, in addition to another heavy dose.
While Ive been circulating qi and using it for healing people before, Ive purposefully not been storing it. I bet the amount of qi Im absorbing right now is shocking, even Sister Nuan right now.
A peek at her confirms my suspicions as her eyes are locked on me.
Im going to start now.
I speak out to give her a heads up.
While still circulating, I extend out a thread of my qi up towards the ceiling vent, not bothering to make it shine like normal.
Just to do this, even in the most efficient configuration, has caused me to need to strain my qi reserves. I have four units of qi and every single drop is going toward allowing me to move it in this way. All my other qi abilities, like hiding from spiritual sense or a slight qi shield, have been put to the side to support this.
Since this technique goes from the outside to the inside, unlike the healing auras inside to outside approach theres actually a travel time involved with it. The technique actually has to get to the person before reaching and affecting them. Later ones wont have such restrictions, but at least for now, its a concern to keep in mind.
With careful movements, I lead the strand through the vent and toward the other room containing the patient.
As it emerges from that rooms vent, I can tell Master Flowing Waters is observing its actions. Since my perception should only be tied to the thread itself, I use this as a chance to practice the technique in a deeper way.
Forgoing my typical use of the scan to see the area, I focus my attention on the strand of qi. A whole other world opens to me, using it.
Its not spiritual sense, so I cant see or sense anything with it. But within it, I get a sense of where the people are that need to be healed. Giving me a very limited idea of the situation.
Utilizing this, I direct it straight toward the patient. Right as it touches the patient, I confidently direct it to cover the body entirely.
Another patient lays here. Conscious, and not in terrible condition. An easy heal. A purposeful choice by Master Flowing Waters.
As my healing technique gets to work moving throughout his body, I take some satisfaction at the ease that it moves and the shock on the observing elders face.
And most importantly, the absolutely insane amount of cultivation speed increase that Im receiving, the second that I started working on the injuries.
the train of healing begins.
