Chapter 189: Chapter 188 Healing Wounds

At this moment, Tie Dan, no, ’Zhou Feng’ is assisting Yao Honglei in healing her wounds.

However, the scene is slightly different from the previous time when he was cultivating with Zhen Baiyu, Xiao Baoqin, and Xing Yuanzhi. This time, Yao Honglei was...uh, no! She was pushing, uh, not quite right either! It was a very normal! Very proper posture! Using palm pressure on the back, infusing True Qi to treat internal injuries!

This is very common in the Jianghu! When someone gets internal injuries, they strip down and sit on the bed, then another person stands behind with both palms out, pointing and pressing, massaging and kneading, just like a therapeutic session! If the Heavenly Dao even restricted this, then if everyone got injured, they wouldn’t even need to treat injuries; they could just wait to die!

In short, to heal internal injuries from a fundamental level, Tie Dan needs to repeatedly refine and purify his intense Purple Mist True Qi within his body, and through Yao Honglei’s back acupoints, transport the Qi, injecting it into Dazhui, Tao Dao, Shenzhu, Shen Dao, Spirit Platform, Zhiyang, Jinsuo, Central, Spine, these nine crucial acupoints on the thoracic vertebrae, and channel it into her Du Meridian.

By doing so, Yao Honglei can directly enter into meditation, adjust her spiritual energy, utilizing the pure True Qi that Tie Dan directly transfers to her, to guide it down through the Du Meridian, winding through Changqiang and other acupoints, then up through the Ren Meridian into the Dan Abdomen Qi Sea, to ultimately refine the True Qi for her own use. Then she will inject it into the Twelve Main Meridians and the Heavenly Circulation Star Points to adjust the disorderly Qi Vortex within her body and the accumulated hidden injuries throughout her body.

So, this is purely a one-sided process, where Tie Dan is fully transferring energy to Yao Honglei, and it doesn’t matter from where to where, as the other party just takes it without giving back at all. You could say, isn’t this a loss?

Some might think, oh Tie Dan, your Purple Mist True Qi is about to overflow, sharing a bit with the Immortal, what loss is there? After all, everyone is a Mystic Sect Disciple, fellow Daoists, and the nine great Immortals are already benefitting by exposing their backs for massages!

But according to Tie Dan, unless the nine great Immortals give him their heads, otherwise, this is purely a huge loss. Why on earth should he do this thing that is detrimental to him and beneficial to others? They are not even close, are they?

Thus, just the first surge of True Qi was sent into the Dazhui acupoint to fill it, Tie Dan stopped.

Yao Honglei trembled all over, the intense and domineering Purple Mist True Qi poured into her, provoking intense trembling, yet he suddenly stopped before the healing even started, leaving her in a restless and agitated state, she urged repeatedly,

"Wha- why did you stop! Quick, quick! Keep transferring energy!"

Tie Dan furrowed his brows,

"I feel I’m at a loss, this Fur Refining Technique of yours isn’t worth my expenditure of this level of power..."

Well, although Yao Honglei, upon entering the room, kept her promise, giving Tie Dan a detailed demonstration and clear explanation of the secret method of refining needles with hair. Now Tie Dan is reviewing this secret manual’s refining method, observing the current state of Yao Honglei’s body, and has concluded.

Trash.

"Your technique is just a common Qi Manipulation Technique, manipulating hair transformations, nothing special. These strands of hair can become material for secret refinement, not because your physique is so special or the cultivation technique so powerful, it’s just that you are poisoned."

Yao Honglei showed a look of anger, but Tie Dan was not wrong. Indeed, she was poisoned, and currently, her skin and meridians, major acupoints all over her body, clearly displayed strange red-purple-green blotches.

Tie Dan said,

"I suppose you simply didn’t get the true teachings, had no mentor to guide you, so you haphazardly refined Qi, consumed potions, and medicines, forcibly elevating your power to break through realms, resulting in hormonal imbalance.

With accumulated hidden injuries day by day, now your Qi veins are disorderly, your meridians chaotic, requiring Pure Yang True Essence to sort out your meridians and suppress True Qi within every month.

Moreover, relying on medicine to enhance power, over time, poison gathers in the hair pores and skin, irritating hair follicles, which is why your hair also contains poison potion Dao Breath, and combined with your Essence Blood, has transformed, leading it to be material for Daoist techniques, refined into a Magic Artifact.

So, unless you research and reverse-project the prescriptions you used in the past for operations and hair cleaning, to figure out what poison potions this hair was soaked in, otherwise, no one else can imitate your Fur Refining Technique!"

Being judged in such a condescending manner again, Yao Honglei felt utterly humiliated, angrily retorted,

"Surname Zhou! You were clearly the one who said you wanted to learn this technique just now! Now you are disregarding it, quitting halfway, messing with my emotions, aren’t you a man!?"

Tie Dan twisted a lock of her hair,

"I had expected it to be some marvelous technique, effortlessly refining hair into sword and blade, thus never lacking armaments, which seemed valuable enough.

Yet in the end, it’s merely a trick of applying medicine to hair, in order to make it somewhat stiffer, slightly longer, you poison yourself, harming body and meridians, truly putting the cart before the horse, detrimental instead of beneficial, harmful to the body, certainly not the Righteous Path. I advise you to stop refining it, simply abandon the technique and restart cultivation."

Receiving such a reprimand, Yao Honglei was infuriated, furious and vented, her whole body flushed red as if ignited, curling up flames!

"Mind your own business! I want revenge! Without taking risks, how can I achieve it! You, a man, stop fussing, what do you want to continue helping me! Tell me!"

Her shouting caused severe tremors in her meridians, her foundation unstable, copious sweat rolled down from her entire body, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down, forming water lines on her skin, soaking the bed beneath her to a state of dripping wetness.

Having thoroughly studied Yao Honglei’s body, Tie Dan naturally knew she was speaking the truth.

Yao Honglei was indeed on the verge of being possessed by a demon, her entire body in constant pain and trembling uncontrollably, her tendons twitching spasmodically like live snakes, bloodstained beads of sweat oozing out, she hadn’t even cried out in pain already counted as strong.

This woman originally had decent talent, but for the sake of revenge, she forcefully refined Qi Gong, anxious to break through, without solidifying her foundation, now her body had significant hidden dangers, from perhaps occurring every dozen years, now it’s a monthly meridian disorder, she is indeed close to explosive body termination, no wonder she clamored for revenge, but those two adversaries did not even put such a defeated dog in their eyes.

Having thoroughly inspected Yao Honglei, estimating her predicament as such, indeed there isn’t much more to squeeze out, and Tie Dan doesn’t enjoy tormenting people. So, he thrusts a palm, injecting a surge of True Qi into Yao Honglei’s meridians, actively helping her stabilize her chaotic True Qi, calming her mood.

Yao Honglei thought she would be taken advantage of being pressured for conditions, suddenly she felt True Qi flowing in, evidently this time, the other party spared nothing, fully assisting.

Since both cultivated the same technique passed down by Mr. He Lin, of the same sect, they complement each other, making the healing process remarkably effective and Yao Honglei’s entire meridians were smoothed by the pure Dao Breath, the intense heat and stifling heat within her body were relieved, leaving her feeling refreshed and smiling contently with closed eyes, lightly panting, muttering,

"Tha-thank you..."

"No need to thank me, since I promised to help you, I won’t let you die."

But just straightforwardly transferring energy from behind is somewhat dull, Tie Dan asked,

"What grudge do you have with the Demon Palace?"

Yao Honglei, still squinting, answered,

"What other grudge can there be, didn’t you hear, that Southern Country Lord wants to capture me as a concubine."

"You stole his military salary first, didn’t you?"

"Ha! That fox spirit has the backs of the three Dao Sects and two Immortal Gates at Luofu Mountain! What do I have! If I didn’t seize some resources from the Demon Palace, how could I keep up with her cultivation progress!

Ha... Back then, with just me and my blade alone, inadequate strength in robberies, I convened some Mystic Sect brothers who were traveling in the Southern Country and struck against palace gate valves, seized Daoist materials, making several big heists, hence my fame caught on.

The taint of the so-called nine great Immortals, was spread by gossipy people."

So that’s how it is, Mr. He Lin, that old thing, probably also seized quite a lot from the Southern Country...

At this moment, benefiting from Tie Dan’s guided True Qi adjustments, Yao Honglei gradually stabilized her chaotic meridians. Furthermore, with her monthly routine of breathing control and energy transfer, she became adept, no longer worrying about Qi deviation, saying,

"Though they are just drinking buddies on the path, all for scavenging from the Demon Palace.

And one by one, hesitating, procrastinating, just lingering around me without leaving. When really asked, no one dares to truly take on my burdens and contend alongside me against Luofu Mountain...

But after all, they’ve been brothers who lived and died together for years, weathered adversities together, this time I must save them from their doom. I implore Junior Brother to assist."

Hmph, really thinking herself to be some black-code matriarch, merely a figurehead taking the blame upon their head, haven’t you seen others being etched in the Immortal Thief List? After all, frequenting the Demon Palace for scavenging...

"Yao Immortal, you have traversed the Jianghu for many years, unaware if the Demon Palace possesses any Immortal Elixirs that extend life and alter fate?"

"What? Your life span is lacking?"

Yao Honglei froze a bit, patting her chest,

"That’s simple, that old thing, the Southern Country Lord should have died long ago, barely hanging on till now, the royal palace must have longevity elixirs, pluck a few conveniently."

Tie Dan thought, indeed, neighbors hoard grain, I hoard guns, neighbors are my granary, indeed.

Indeed, lacking cultivation treasures for daily needs or task, breaking into the treasury of the Demon Palace’s royal palace for seizing--no, picking up goods, is indeed fastest. This is perfect, conveniently completing the task on Baiyu’s side.

With that, Tie Dan did not waste words, just focused on transferring energy to heal her.

And Yao Honglei also discovered, the True Qi that this Junior Brother Zhou fed through was exceptionally pure, both quality and quantity, and remarkably enduring in time and output, far superior to ordinary Golden Core disciples.

Therefore, enjoying the fluid-flowing refinement process, finally expelled substances akin to whether they were poison or greases, a sludge of no-confidence waste.

Yet bizarrely, after struggling to expel these poison impurities from all over her body, Tie Dan realized she collected those mud-like substances, mixed it with water, crafting an ointment-like substance, and yet again meticulously smeared it back onto the skin, forming an oil film.

Seeing the critical eye from Tie Dan, looking like ready to lecture, Yao Honglei quickly explained,

"This is a secret medicine blended with Eight Treasure Toad Fat, Furong Tianying Ointment, Seven Insects and Seven Flower Powder, regulating into meridian profound points, used for pain relief. Now discharged outside, though the medicinal power is gone, yet the toxic potency remains fierce, still potent for seven days.

Within seven days, if I were to fail and be humiliated, I can seize the opportunity to poison, causing the perpetrator’s intestines to rot, hands and feet to ulcerate, die vomiting pus, dying with blood streaming from the seven orifices, even a Nascent Soul True Man couldn’t escape this doom. If I could eliminate that old Southern Country Lord, it would be worthwhile."

Tie Dan expressionless looked at his hands, smeared all over with a greasy, wet mess from earlier pointing and touching.

Yao Honglei saw his expression and couldn’t help but smile,

"As long as it doesn’t intake internally, smearing a bit externally is harmless."

Then she reshaped the dark clouds, arranged her hair, her freshly regrown black strands, extended a section herself using sword fingers and plucked it, and refined it into a two-foot-long short sword, with a blush handed it to Tie Dan.

"Many thanks to Junior Brother Zhou for your help, this is merely a token of appreciation, not worthy of respect."

Tie Dan took the sword, looked it over, smiled brightly,

"Great sword, thanks a lot."

Gazing upon this young man’s steadfast focus on the sword, that brief moment revealed a pure, mirror-clear visage, bright as a starry smile.

Inexplicably moved, Yao Honglei felt an untimely rush of mixed feelings, couldn’t help but subconsciously cover herself, turning sideways to avoid eye contact, no longer daring to look at him directly.
