Elder Dan Xi shook his head: "Forgive my limited knowledge, I only know of these thods."
Xu Qing, curious, asked, "Why does Uncle believe that the Divine Soul lacks ridians?"
"Uh..." Upon reflection, Elder Dan Xi realized there was no dical text that stated this; he had simply taken it as common sense, and he couldn’t help but get angry: "Xu Qing, ignorant of dical principles, if the Divine Soul had ridians, how would it be that not a single predecessor among our dical community has ever ntioned this?"
Xu Qing apologized and then added: "This junior has offended Uncle, I ask for your forgiveness. It’s just that as a scholar, I can’t help but pursue knowledge of things. So I wonder, if the Divine Soul does have ridians, how then should we treat the Divine Soul?"
"Daoist Scriptures say, all things carry Yin and embrace Yang, using Qi to achieve harmony. Since the Divine Soul exists, it naturally follows this Dao. If the Divine Soul has ridians, there must be an equilibrium of Yin and Yang within it. When the Divine Soul is injured, naturally it’s the imbalance of Yin and Yang within the ridians. Understanding this, one should apply the appropriate treatnt for the symptoms."
"So that’s how it is, this junior has learned much."
"This too is conjecture based on the Yin Yang Five Elents theory of dical principles, and indeed it might not hold true. The flesh is the foundation of the Divine Soul. Starting from the flesh, although we can’t eradicate the root of the illness, we can at least preserve her life. With careful nourishnt, she should be able to live as a normal person, at worst occasionally suffering from headaches."
"As long as we can preserve her life, that’s good." Feng Xifeng, listening to Elder Dan Xi, let out a huge sigh of relief.
He then said softly to Xu Qing: "Now that it’s co to this, it is still possible to change your mind. If you wish to continue, and if she does not recover well later on and is not fit to bear children, I ask you not to be hard on her."
His last words were sowhat pleading.
Xu Qing quickly responded: "Teacher, we will try our best to find solutions. As for changing my mind, let’s not speak of that again. Let’s go and see Miss Feng."
"Okay."
Xu Qing and Feng Xifeng entered the room and saw Feng Wu with many Golden Needles inserted in her head, deeply asleep and her complexion was much rosier than before.
Beside her, there was also the specially made Calming Incense from Elder Dan Xi.
Feng Xifeng, seeing his daughter in good condition and better than expected, once again thanked Elder Dan Xi.
Elder Dan Xi: "Mr. Feng, you bear the heavy responsibility of South Zhili, she is your daughter, and the citizens are also your children. Do not favor one over the other. Your presence here is not helping; if you trust this old man, just send one or two maids to tend to her."
"Then I’ll go and ask her uncle’s family to send soone to take care of her. Gongming, if you have nothing else to do, you might also stay here and talk to her. I’ll do my very best with the matter concerning you." Feng Xifeng thought, his daughter’s temper was unruly, and having Xu Qing to look after her during her illness would be reassuring.
Concerns for propriety were no longer important at this ti.
Feng Xifeng and Elder Dan Xi exchanged pleasantries, reluctantly bidding farewell.
Xu Qing stayed behind.
...
...
"Feng Wu, how am I doing?" Feng Wu woke up and directly asked Xu Qing upon seeing him.
Surely Xu Qing knew better than Elder Dan Xi about problems with the Divine Soul.
Xu Qing didn’t hide anything and told the truth.
"I have been cultivating all the way here, accustod to smooth sailing, so I was bound to face this tribulation." Feng Wu accepted her fate calmly and reflected upon herself. After a pause, she continued: "Since you took the painting, be extra careful."
Xu Qing nodded: "I know."
"Ah, we are not the sa, you’ve been cultivating on your own from the start, unlike , who had the guidance of a master. You were never as frivolous and careless as , and your cultivation surpasses mine. It shows that you walk a steadier Dao than I do. I spoke too much just now."
"Elder Dan Xi, although a master of dicine, is not proficient in matters of the Divine Soul. His claim of a lack of thods is not necessarily true. I will ponder over this matter carefully; there should be a turning point." Xu Qing changed the subject.
The secrets of the Xuantian Visualization thod were too profound, and of course, he couldn’t impart it to Feng Wu, and with her current condition, she couldn’t practice it either.
However, using the knowledge of Hidden Veins from the Xuantian Visualization thod to deduce the dical principles for the Divine Soul was a viable approach.
He felt that Elder Dan Xi knew too little of Daoist Skill to assu that, aside from the Great Zen Temple, there were no other ans in this world to treat injuries to the Divine Soul.
It was rely that the Great Zen Temple was renowned and hence rembered for this.
After finishing his words, he held Feng Wu’s hand.
Feng Wu was surprised, not because she thought Xu Qing was being inappropriate, but she assud he was comforting her.
Unexpectedly, in a mont, Feng Wu’s body began to tremble.
Her complexion beca much more rosy, and even the Divine Soul seed to nourish by the Qi-Blood, feeling ward as if in hot springs.
She couldn’t help but moan, then shyly glanced at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing withdrew his hand after a while and slowly asked, "How do you feel?"
"Very comfortable, but it was too short."
"Xu Qing, what you just did..." Elder Dan Xi, keen of hearing, heard Feng Wu’s voice, approached to see Xu Qing employing a thod more potent than his Golden Needle Crossing Acupoint to stimulate Qi-Blood.
He hesitated before asking: "That seed like the Thunder Sound of a Refining Internal Master."
"Uh-huh."
"Have you mastered Refining Internal?"
"Elder, how much does this Thunder Sound help with her condition?"
"Amongst Refining Internal Masters around the world, each has their secret Thunder Sound. The very best Thunder Sound is undoubtedly from the Great Zen Temple’s Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, which, at advanced stages, is said to have a Marrow Cleansing effect. Other Thunder Sounds, perhaps only those from the Heavenly Master Dao, Laoshan Shangqing Palace, and other Holy Lands can compare. However, with your Thunder Sound helping her refresh Qi-Blood, I can administer strong dicine to nourish her Qi-Blood without fear of dicine toxicity. In this way, she could retain her martial skills, and the worsening of her Divine Soul’s injury could also be prevented." Elder Dan Xi stroked his beard as he spoke.
