The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 159
Chapter 159 Taiyin Juemei
Li Qing spent half a day flipping through the thick Medicine King’s Ceremony and actually found records of the lunar meridians in an unremarkable corner.
He couldn’t help but be overjoyed and hurriedly began to read.
According to the records in the book, the birth of the Lunar Absolute Meridian was caused by a trace of Lunar Qi between heaven and earth in the fetal state, fusing with each other and being inseparable from each other, resulting in such a peculiar and incurable illness.
This strand of Lunar Qi would grow stronger as the host grew, eventually leading to the clogging of the Yin-to-Cold Qi in his body and death.
Since there were Yin and Yang Qi in this world, since there was Lunar Qi, there would naturally be Extreme Yang Qi. Therefore, in contrast, there was an extreme Yang Absolute Meridian, which was also a terminal illness. The extreme Yang was extremely hot, and when it grew up, it would burn its body to death.
There was indeed a way in the book to treat the lunar meridians, and there was more than one way!
The first method was to find some sort of treasure and absorb the lunar qi in the patient’s body.
This type of treasure, such as the Lunar Divine Sword, could accomplish this!
The Lunar Divine Sword was the embodiment of the Lunar Dao. It was the world’s top divine object, capable of controlling the power of the Lunar Temple. Therefore, absorbing the Lunar Qi from the patient’s body was naturally easy.
This method was the simplest, and it had an immediate effect. However, it was also the most difficult because a treasure like the Lunar Divine Sword was simply impossible for ordinary people to obtain. Naturally, there was no way to treat it.
‘”The Lunar God Sword” Li Qing’s expression was strange. He didn’t expect to see anything about the Lunar God Sword here. If Liu Ke’er was by her side and held the Lunar Sword, she would probably be able to cure Su Jing Xiang’s terminal illness very quickly.
“What a pity, Ke’er is not around. She’s just a tiny bit away.” He shook his head helplessly.
The second method was to cultivate the Yin-to-Cold cultivation technique and use the Qi of Lunar Temple in his body for his own use, turning calamities into blessings. If he was lucky, he might be able to become a peerless expert.
This method was also extremely good, but there was a prerequisite, which was to start cultivating a cultivation method from a young age, or else when they grew up, the cold energy in their bodies would be stagnant, and their meridians would be frozen and blocked, and it would be too late at that time.
‘”I happen to have a Supreme Yin and Cold Cultivation Technique in my hand. It’s the Lunar True Scripture. However, Su Jingxiang is so old now, I’m afraid it’s too late to cultivate. This method won’t work again!” He sighed.
Of these two methods, he knew the whereabouts of the Lunar Divine Sword and also had a technique that was extremely cold and yin. However, he was always a little bit lacking. As a result, these methods were useless. He could only say that his luck was not very good.
The third method was to use medicine to treat it. However, it was very difficult, and it did not cure the symptoms.
Under this method, there were several prescriptions that had certain curative effects on the lunar meridians.
Of course, it only had a certain healing effect. As for the specifics, he still needed to use it before he could know.
Using these prescriptions to treat Lunar Tempered Meridians can prolong the patient’s life, alleviate the pain of terminal illness, and allow people to live longer.
“I don’t know if a prescription that can cure the symptoms but not the root cause is useful. Find an opportunity to give it a try.”
He thought carefully for a while and felt that the second method was more feasible. However, Su Jingxiang was too old, and the cold energy in her body was stagnant, causing her to be unable to cultivate.
Is there any way to save it? He fell into deep thought.
…
Just as he was thinking of a solution, another sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Then, someone knocked on the door and said, “Young Master, can we come in?”
This was Su Jingxiang’s voice. She didn’t know who she had brought over.
Li Qing walked over and opened the door. Apart from Su Jingxiang, there was also a middle-aged man outside. He was actually a Xiantian expert. He stretched out his hand and said, “Please come in.”
The three of them sat down. The middle-aged man introduced himself first, “I am Jing Xiang’s father and the City Lord of Jiangyuan City. May I know your name, Young Hero?”
Li Qing greeted him slightly and replied, “Greetings, City Lord Su. My name is Li Qing.”
“Oh, Li Qing.” City Lord Su saw that this young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and his bearing was extraordinary. He did not seem to show any special emotions towards Xiantian experts in his expression. Obviously, he had seen too many of them, and he did not feel anything new.
He secretly nodded in his heart. Knowing that Li Qing was not an ordinary person and should have some background, he asked, “Where does Young Hero Li come from?”
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m from a very far away place. It’s just a coincidence that I’m here. As for the specific situation, it’s not convenient to tell. Please forgive me.”
“Haha, since it’s inconvenient, then forget it. You don’t look like a bad person. You saved my daughter’s life. I can trust you.” City Lord Su smiled heartily. “I think your physical fitness is frighteningly high. You should be a body refining expert. Your strength is probably more than 10,000 jin, right?”
“That’s right, it’s more than 10,000 jin.” Li Qing admitted calmly.
“It’s really amazing. It’s almost comparable to a Xiantian expert. Your achievements in body refinement aren’t low.” City Lord Su sighed in admiration. With such strength, other than him, no one else in Jiangyuan City could possibly be Li Qing’s opponent.
Li Qing did not deny it, it was obvious that he had tacitly accepted it.
“You’re so strong, you’re really a young hero. Since you’ve come here, I wonder where you’re going?” City Lord Su asked casually.
“This … hasn’t been decided yet. I don’t know where I’m going.” Li Qing’s expression was a little confused.
In the vast Eastern Region, the world is so big, where can I find Liu Ke’er?
‘”Since you don’t know where you’re going, why don’t you stay and help Jiangyuan City? It just so happens that there’s a vacancy in the city for a guard commander. I wonder if you intend to take up the position? The treatment will definitely not be unfair to you.” City Lord Su opened his mouth to recruit.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “I am used to being lazy and can’t be restrained. Therefore, I appreciate the City Lord’s kindness.”
City Lord Su couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Such a body refining expert was young and so young, and his future was limitless. He loved it very much and really wanted to keep Li Qing here.
However, the position of Guard Commander was already the highest position he could provide. As for a higher level Great Commander, he was an old fellow from the clan. It was impossible for him to be replaced.
“Father, how can someone like Young Master Li be a bodyguard? Why don’t you set up a guest guard position? Normally, you don’t need to do anything. You are free, and you can receive a monthly tribute. You only need to help the Su Clan at the critical moment.” Su Jingxiang suddenly said.
“Protector Guest Qing?” City Lord Su’s eyes lit up.
The history of Jiangyuan City was very short, and the history of the Su Clan ruling Jiangyuan City was even shorter. As a result, many systems were not perfect, and there was no such thing as a guest guardian.
Su Jingxiang’s suggestion just happened to remind him that he could use these methods to recruit talents, so that these people could be closely linked to the Su Clan. Furthermore, it was not disgusting. What a wonderful method.
“But” Li Qing hesitated and wanted to refuse.
“You can rest assured that there will be no restrictions on the position of Guest Protector. You are very free. We will provide you with resources every month. As long as you help our Su Clan at the critical moment, you don’t have to worry about any problems. You won’t refuse to agree to such a good thing, right?” City Lord Su said.
“That’s right, Young Master, you don’t have anywhere to go anyway. Why don’t you stay for this relaxed position?” Su Jingxiang also advised, her eyes filled with hope.
“Alright then.” Seeing their hopeful expressions, Li Qing could only agree. Anyway, he hadn’t decided where to go. If he stayed in the Su Clan all the time, he wouldn’t do anything. It was unreasonable, and he was suspected of eating and drinking for free.
The Su Clan’s father and daughter couldn’t help but reveal a hint of joy. With the addition of such an expert, Jiang Yuan City’s strength had increased a little, and they could survive in the environment around the Misty Forest.
The surroundings of the Misty Forest were filled with dangers, and they would always encounter all sorts of troubles. Even a Xiantian expert like City Lord Su couldn’t hold on much longer.
Li Qing said, “It’s a bit inexcusable to accept the position of Guest Protector for no reason. How about this, I heard that Miss Su suffers from lunar abrupt meridians, and I happen to have an ancient prescription here that has some effect on treating incurable lunar diseases. It can alleviate the erosion of cold energy and prolong your life. How about writing it down for Miss Su to test the effect?”
