Chapter 346: Chapter 0346: Standing Up

Chu Ge looked at Tang Haowan with such heavy eyelids still struggling and could not help but sigh. He said to Tang Haowan, "Old Master, you should sleep. When you wake up after a good sleep, everything will be fine."

Tang Haowan really didn’t want to close his eyes; he was worried that once he closed them, they would be closed for good. But his eyelids were no longer obeying him, and fluttering as they were, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Standing in front of Tang Haowan’s head, Chu Ge began to transmit energy with both hands, a white mist swirling like fog, gradually forming a ball.

This was the Spiritual Energy he had opportunistically collected on the Snow Mountain. He originally wanted to use this energy for medicinal purposes, but it had come in handy before being fully assimilated.

As he continued his Energy Transmission, the white fog grew larger and larger, and when it became as big as a basketball, Chu Ge slowly turned his palms downward, and the ball of fog dispersed in all directions as if struck by a fierce force.

If one paid close attention, they would notice that the mist dispersed in different directions, seemingly following a specific Array, slowly spreading out until it eventually enveloped Tang Haowan’s body.

Chu Ge channeled his energy again, focusing on his Dantian, placing the tips of three fingers of his left hand gently on the top of Tang Haowan’s head.

A steady stream of True Qi flowed slowly into Tang Haowan’s body through the skin.

As time passed, the wisps of black mist that previously surrounded Tang Haowan seemed to be repelled and began to seep out.

But as soon as the black gas emerged, the white fog would visibly dissolve it.

Another half an hour passed.

The few people waiting outside the operating room paced back and forth frequently, especially Tang Family’s State, who was becoming somewhat impatient.

"Big brother, how could you be so foolish to let this boy treat grandfather? Look, he still hasn’t come out yet!"

"Enough!" Tang Youwei snapped at him irritably, then leaned against the wall in silence, deep in thought.

Tang Family’s State choked back his words, only able to reluctantly swallow back what he wanted to say.

Hmph! If something really happened to his grandfather, he definitely wouldn’t let this kid off!

Tang Xin changed her posture and continued to daydream, remaining silent throughout.

Meanwhile, Nangong Man Sha was becoming restless. With Chu Ge’s ability, it shouldn’t take this long. Could it be that difficult?

Nangong Man Sha couldn’t help feeling anxious.

Meanwhile, inside the operating room.

Chu Ge had actually already pulled Tang Haowan back from the brink of the Ghost Gate. He just felt that it was a good opportunity to also treat his leg.

His leg was not as serious as Mr. Ouyang’s, but it was not minor either.

Because the meridians were blocked, when he was unblocking Tang Haowan’s meridians, the unconscious Tang Haowan could not bear the pain and abruptly opened his eyes, gasping for breath.

His legs, which had already lost all feeling, now began to tingle. That sharp pain had originated from his feet.

This time Tang Haowan woke up and clearly felt that he was no longer as listless as before. On the contrary, he felt revitalized, and even his essence seemed more spirited.

After Chu Ge had cleared his meridians, he took out the silver needles from his bosom, inserting them one by one into his back.

With each needle inserted, Tang Haowan felt a threefold increase in numbness.

Tang Haowan couldn’t contain his excitement, but he dared not move for fear of disturbing Mr. Chu.

It was not until Mr. Chu had finished inserting the needles that he slowly walked to Tang Haowan’s side, smiling at him, "Old Master, how do you feel now?"

"Comfortable!" Tang Haowan felt as though he had been choked and suddenly couldn’t breathe but was then abruptly released.

Every part of his body except for his feet felt incredibly refreshed.

"What about those feet?" Chu Ge asked again.

"...A bit numb," Tang Haowan hesitated for a moment before responding, "and a little painful."

"Pain is a good sign since you’ve just cleared the meridians. The stagnant blood and toxins that had accumulated in your feet have been thoroughly cleansed by me. You’ll need to be needled three times consecutively before you can stand."

Upon hearing that he could soon stand again, Tang Haowan, excited, propped himself up with his hands and attempted to sit up.

But as soon as he exerted some force, his body deflated like a balloon, slumping back.

Tang Haowan didn’t understand and looked at Chu Ge somewhat mutely.

Chu Ge explained, "You’ve just experienced a brush with death, so your body is particularly weak at the moment. Take this Spiritual Liquid, it will help you quickly recover your Primordial Energy."

As he spoke, Chu Ge took out a Small Jade Bottle from his bosom, poured out a bead of Spiritual Liquid, and gave it to Tang Haowan to take.

After taking it, Tang Haowan felt nothing, he looked at Chu Ge confusedly, "Why don’t I feel anything?"

Chu Ge was somewhat speechless, "Old Master, you’re still being needled, what can you possibly feel? Wait until I take out the needles, then you’ll know."

Five minutes later, Chu Ge collected the silver needles.

"Alright, Old Master, you may try sitting up now."

Tang Haowan complied, propping himself up with his hands on the edge of the bed and slowly sitting up, not feeling the dizziness he had anticipated, nor the weakness in his hands that he had expected. Instead, he felt a sense of ease throughout his body, as if he had returned to his middle-aged days.

Chu Ge nodded satisfied and then said, "You can walk around now."

"What?" Tang Haowan didn’t initially grasp what Chu Ge had said and looked at him somewhat blankly.

Chu Ge repeated, "Get down and walk around."

"But didn’t you say I can’t get off the bed yet?" Tang Haowan said this, but his heart was filled with anticipation, along with a touch of fear and nervousness.

Several emotions were visibly intermingled on his face.

Conflict, unease, nervousness, fear, yet faint expectation.

It had been too many years since he had last walked on the ground, he had even forgotten what it felt like to walk.

Now, suddenly being told to walk, his legs began to feel unresponsive.

Chu Ge, however, remained calm and repeated, "Don’t be afraid. Taking a few steps every day is also beneficial to your recovery."

Tang Haowan took several deep breaths, as if making a major decision, and slowly lifted his legs off the bed.

As he lifted his legs, he realized there was something different about them. Previously, his legs would shuffle off the bed, as if they weighed a ton.

But now, he could actually lift them.

Tang Haowan didn’t put on shoes but stood barefoot on the ground.

His feet, having been constricted by blocked meridians for many years, had become somewhat atrophied. Now, standing on the ground, he worried whether his feet could bear his weight.

Tang Haowan spread his arms and slowly stood up from the bed, with every inch he rose, his heart tensing.

Slowly, very slowly.

Finally, Tang Haowan stood upright. He looked at Chu Ge in shock, his lips trembling, "I... I can really stand up!"
