Chapter 423: Healing to Right Many Wrongs
Examining the womans body, Huis brows knit. Her surface wounds are bad enough, but internally internally, shes a total mess!
The womans qi passages twisted wildly inside her body. In places, they were entirely shredded. Meridians laid mangled and shattered, broken nodes amidst the wreckage of her passages. Her qi leaked out, slowly poisoning her. At the same time, she bled out, losing both her bodys vitality and cultivation strength at the same time.
Her dantian can I salvage her cultivation? Hui sent his consciousness deeper, seeking it out.
At last, a beat of warm energy met him. Swirling qi turned in her dantian. Deep rifts and gashes scarred its surface, and her qi escaped in blasts as it turned.
Shit! If she loses much more qi, shes going to die outright or at least lose her cultivation, and given the short lifespans of mortals, thats a fate equal to death! Hui drew a deep breath. Calling his life qi to his hands, he led it through her body, bypassing her shattered meridians to lead it directly to her dantian.
The woman wrinkled her face and tensed.
Elder Sister, bear with me. I know it hurts, but Im here to help, Hui assured her quietly.
Her brows un-knitted. She relaxed a hair.
She must be braced for death, even now. After all I cant imagine Liu Guang intended to allow a demonic cultivator to survive. He likely means to destroy her as soon as Im done. Which means I have to make up an excuse to save her as Im healing her!
Um but what can I say to make him decide not to kill her? Uh I took a fancy to her! He twisted his lips. No, thats uh, a bit much. Theres enough girls in my life right now, between Li Xiang, Bai Xue, and now Gui Yutong claiming me as her lover.
Hmm what about I want to convert her? Hui snuck a glance at Liu Guang. But I dont know if hed listen to that. That depends on his personality its a gamble, at best. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Think. What do I know about him? What would he listen to?
He tilted his head, then reached out and grabbed ahold of an uninjured portion of her qi passages just beyond the mangled section. Turning around, he found a piece of her qi passages in the other direction. Hui licked his lips and tilted his head, considering, then shrugged. Ill join the two together for now. Naturally, it wont be long enough, but with time and her own efforts, it should be possible to re-lengthen her qi passages. Itll be a setback on her cultivation, but a setback is better than losing it entirely.
Drawing out the needle and the thread again, he laced the passages together. In some places, her passages were so tattered that he couldnt find enough good passage to connect. There, he gathered what little he could and closed off the passages to keep her qi from leaking out. His nose twisted. It isnt going to be easy to come back from this, but its still better than dying here.
At last, her qi passages no longer leaked. Only her meridians still leaked qi. They were completely splintered. Almost nothing remained of the nodes.
I have no idea what to do with these. Where do I even start? I could just seal them shut, but then I might as well shatter her dantian. Ugh. What can I
The body-reforging technique. Why dont I use that on her?
But Ive only tested it on lotus clones so far. Lotus clones they have human-esque bodies, but their bodies arent fully human. As long as a lotus clones core remains, they can survive. Humans even cultivators need their heart and brain and internal organs. On top of that, cultivators need their dantian, qi passages, meridiansif I mess up on recreating any of those, its a crippling injury for her. If I messed up on me or the clones, we could easily regrow or recalibrate our qi organs or physical bodies. It isnt the same.
A cool hand touched his arm. Hui startled and opened his eyes. The woman looked up at him.
Hui took a deep breath. Elder Sister, I can I might be able to fix you completely. But it might kill you. I
Whatever you need to do to show off your skill. Even if the skill is risky and fails, I can still judge you on the complexity of the skill, Liu Guang said.
Elder Sister, Hui repeated, locking eyes with the female cultivator.
She closed her eyes, then nodded.
Okay. Alright. Here we go! Ive got to at least try!
