As I look at the Nascent Soul cultivator’s daughter, Liao Bo, it becos apparent to that even with his near perfect corrections to his daughter’s body and brain, it still wasn’t enough to cross the biggest gap this region has in healing.
ntal health and the effect of qi on it.
The father, Liao Yan, reverted his daughter’s body and mind to a state closest to before she had gotten captured by the parasite. However, it’s clear that he didn’t know enough about the brain to tamper with her mories. Lingering issues plague her, hindering her ability to cope.
So even if her mind and body were reset to a state where she should be normal, she’s ntally regressed to a child-like state.
With this in mind, I move over to her and speak in a soft tone.
“Hi there. You’re being very brave. I’m going to use so healing on you. Is that okay?”
Liao Bo’s eyes darted to her father’s, unconsciously seeking him. He gives her a smile and a nod to calm her down. Seeing this, she relaxes and lays back down on the bed, giving an affirmation that I can heal her.
Raising my hands, I circulate my healing thod through her to target her brain and mind. Healing her physical/cultivation issues, while also guiding her into an illusory space where she can better process her experiences safely. Just like the other parasite victims.
Within a mont, it’s done.
Her eyes unseal as I step back. With the first place she looks being her father.
“…Dad?”
Unlike before, her eyes are clear, with her voice coherent.
I can see the tears cresting on his eyes as he bursts through the protective layer of the room to wrap her in a hug. Now sobbing, with her soon following.
“Bo….Bo….you’re finally well…. Bo….”
“Daddy, I was so scared….”
Considering everyone around, I eased them into the hallway, away from the crowds, so they can have so privacy. Before I head out, I look up at the Masters to verify that I can handle this.
Of course, they nod, letting lead the two out of the room for a bit. However, I notice sothing about one of the Masters.
Mada Liao Mingxia seems pretty emotional as well, which from my scan causes to realize that she is actually distantly related to Liao Yan. This may be why he received special permission for the healing attempt.
Once I lead the father and daughter pair into a private room, I leave them to talk, after reassuring them she’s healed. I then head back to the open room, with the Masters and crowd.
I can always talk to Liao Yan after. For now… I need to finish this up.
As I walk out, I co out to massive cheers, sothing completely non-standard to these types of events. But, still understandable.
The parasites and their effects on the body are one of those things that many healers have desperately tried to resolve. The Masters are all showing their approval, with Mada Qian speaking for the group, like before.
“Today, we have witnessed the rise of another Master Healer. I believe none can dispute the feats shown today.”
She looks around for any naysayers before continuing.
“On behalf of the Healer’s Association, I’m honored to provide you with the accreditation of Master Healer. If you encounter any issues, know that there is a network of other healers here to guide, support, and ntor you in the various dynamics that healers face outside their normal actions.”
Ah, there it is. The prompt to maintain a connection. In this case, that’s honestly very useful.
I give a bow to the Master’s before speaking.
“Relying on the wisdom and experience of you all would be an honor if you’ll have from ti to ti. Though I know my skill in healing is high, I have much to learn still in other areas.”
I look down the line of Masters and at their ages.
“As thanks for your guidance and actions here, I’d like to provide a small gift of my own. Would you all be open to a brief healing? To reinvigorate yourselves beyond the baseline.”
Their eyes widen, as this ans that what I’ve shown here is simply what I consider the baseline. They look at each other before nodding.
“We would be happy to.”
They look at the crowd and wave their hands, leading the onlookers to reluctantly depart.
Even though I’m now considered a Master Healer, they are still my elders and also a higher cultivation rank than I. I must constantly ensure I show respect. Adding to that, they have vast connections beyond mine right now. Making these connections, even in this far off land, is important.
For Core Formations like them, Monchon City and the sect ho are only a brief journey away.
I repeat this in my mind, as the Masters co down to the floor area. I see that Sister Nuan is in the stands, watching. The Masters look at her, but seeing her connection to , they remain silent.
When they arrive, I give another bow before following through on my words. I did sothing my scan suggested would be beneficial, although I'm normally reluctant to do such things.
I simultaneously improve all of their cultivation and completely reduce their visible age.
All of them are at Core Formation and are healers, so none of them looked terribly old, but Mada Liao is certainly at the end of her lifespan, being at Peak Core Condensation. Looking like a fit 50-year-old.
With my healing, though, she now looks like a woman in her late 20s… and most importantly, I’ve given her the push needed to take her into Nascent Soul, just like Sister Nuan.
Her eyes are shaking at the changes in herself.
“You…”
I interrupt her, even though it’s a little rude, to communicate sothing vital.
“Mada Liao, please don’t circulate your qi until you are ready to move to Nascent Soul. So that way you don’t start the tribulation now.”
My eyes glance toward Sister Nuan, thinking about how we had to deal with that situation when I healed her.
She falls silent, her eyes locked on . Mada Qian murmurs, admitting her held suspicions.
“I see why the leader so desperately wanted to recruit you into the Association.”
Like the others, her cultivation base has risen from the optimization. Her appearance also looks more youthful, though she was already appearing youthful before.
Mada Liao speaks.
“You should leave quickly with Liao Yan and his daughter. I'm sure you have much to discuss with him, but soon many people will swarm this area, seeking to exploit you. Already, they are on the move here.”
She points to a back entrance.
“Go, quickly. We will be in contact with your sources.”
Her eyes flicker toward Sister Nuan, who seems to have been communicating telepathically again.
Sister Nuan seized my hand and pulled onto her sword. Stopping by the room with Liao Yan and Liao Bo.
Liao Yan is already ready, with Liao Bo in hand on his sword. Another preparation by Sister Nuan.
In an instant, we shoot out of the building and back toward Monchon City. The Xinjiang Compound falling behind us, like a distant mory.
And only one thought left on my mind.
…now, what can I convince the father to do, now that his daughter is already healed?
