The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Treatment of Terminal Illness (3)
Li Qing controlled his True Essence and quickly found a small portion of the cold energy. It was extremely dense and white, like a glacier that would not melt for tens of thousands of years.
Although it was only a small portion, it gave off an extremely cold feeling, and it was extremely powerful.
This part of the cold energy was simply too terrifying. Just as it approached, it seemed like it was going to freeze Li Qing’s True Essence.
However, what he cultivated was the Undying True Devil Technique, and he had also used the foundation of the Sage Stage to achieve Xiantian. The quality of his True Essence was unparalleled in the world. Of course, this cold energy could not devour his True Essence.
Although his speed had slowed down a lot, he was still able to control it freely. Li Qing did not hesitate any longer and immediately activated this strand of True Essence to charge towards the location where the cold energy was, wanting to expel it.
Su Jingxiang’s face couldn’t help but turn pale as a trace of pain flashed across her body. However, she gritted her teeth tightly and refused to make a sound.
Her body turned into a battlefield, where Li Qing’s true essence and lunar cold energy fought.
After half an hour of hard work, Li Qing managed to expel a tiny trace of cold air.
However, at this time, Su Jingxiang was already sweating profusely and her face was pale, as if she was going to faint.
Li Qing stood up and wiped away his sweat. “I can indeed expel the cold energy, but the speed is too slow. It took such a long time to expel only a trace of it. Not to mention …”
He looked worriedly at Su Jingxiang’s face and said, “Miss Su will be in great pain during this process. I’m afraid Miss Su can’t bear it before I expel all the cold energy. Perhaps her life will be in danger.”
“Ah, what should we do then?” At this moment, City Lord Su no longer had any ideas.
Li Qing smiled and said, “Actually, this attempt is not useless. At the very least, it can prove that my True Essence can help this cold energy. With this as a breakthrough point, I believe that a corresponding method will be found soon. Give me some more time.”
“Alright then, I’ll leave it to you! We must think of a solution!” City Lord Su completely trusted Li Qing and agreed without hesitation.
…
After returning to his residence, Li Qing had been thinking about how to get rid of the cold Qi in Su Jingxiang’s body.
Things had already reached this stage. If he could not cure the lunar meridians, he would be too sorry for this family.
In fact, there was nothing he could do about it. He had limited means and lacked knowledge. However, he had the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance and memories, and the contents inside were vast as the sea. This was the source of confidence.
In the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance, apart from cultivation techniques, body refinement techniques, and saber techniques, there were also all sorts of mysterious secret techniques that could solve all sorts of problems and were extremely useful.
Li Qing wanted to see if he could find a way to solve this problem from these secret arts.
After exploring for a whole day, he finally discovered that there was a secret technique in the inheritance that seemed to be suitable for this situation.
This secret art was called “Nine Nether Cold Tempering”.
Speaking of this secret art, it was actually comprehended by the Demon Ancestor from the Dao of Weaponry Forging.
The Demon Ancestor’s life was a legend, and his cultivation was earth-shattering. He was a supreme figure in the world, but because of this, many people ignored his achievements in the rest of his life.
In fact, Demon Ancestor himself was versatile, and he could be called a Grandmaster in forging artifacts, pill refining, formations, and other aspects, reaching an extremely high level.
In ancient times, apart from this nickname of the Demon Ancestor, he also had the titles of Medicine Demon and Demon Craftsman. They all praised him for his achievements in these industries, but it was just that he was rarely known to the world.
After obtaining the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance, Li Qing knew about these things.
The Demon Ancestor comprehended the Nine Nether Cold Tempering from the Dao of Artifact Forging. Actually, the principle was very simple. It was to cast, temper, and polish the True Essence within a person’s body like a weapon, so that the quality of one’s True Essence would rise to a whole new level.
The Nine Nether Tempering Technique was such an auxiliary secret technique. It was specifically used to refine True Essence, and it could also solidify one’s foundation. It could be said to be a very useful secret technique.
In this secret art, one needed to cast a Nine Nether Frost Pond. The Frost Pond contained the power of the Nine Nether, and then cultivators would be placed within it. They would enter the Frost Pond with their True Essence, circulate this Frost Tempering Secret Art, and use the power of the Nine Nether to temper their True Essence.
The Nine Nether Force was the most terrifying Yin-cold force in the world. Only by relying on this kind of Yin-cold force could one temper the true essence of the Undying True Devil Technique and make it a step further.
Actually, this method was very similar to the process of tempering in the castings. In the forging process, the weapon that was burning hot and red was immediately immersed in cold water, which could strengthen the strength and hardness of the weapon. The Demon Ancestor was inspired by this and created this secret art.
On the surface, this Nine Nether Cold Tempering Secret Art seemed to be used to temper one’s True Essence. It could only be used on one’s own body, as if it had nothing to do with the treatment of incurable lunar diseases.
But the reason Li Qing thought it might be useful was because he thought of a different kind of usage.
This Nine Nether Freezing Sect needed to build a Nine Nether Freezing Lake to produce the power of the Nine Nether Sect. Of course, Li Qing would not be able to construct this Nine Nether Frost Lake, but from this, he thought, could he replace the Nine Nether Force with the Lunar Energy?
The Lunar Energy could be said to be even more powerful than the Nine Nether Energy. Logically speaking, it was completely feasible.
According to this assumption, it meant that Su Jingxiang’s body could be treated as a Lunar Cold Lake, her true essence entering it, activating the Cold Tempering Secret Technique, consuming the cold energy within it, and then melting it.
“Treating Su Jingxiang’s body like a lunar lake is really crazy. I actually thought of such a crazy method. I wonder if it will succeed.” He thought to himself.
“Try it. Perhaps it really succeeded?”
Even the Demon Ancestor would not have thought that the secret technique he had created would be used in this aspect. Human intelligence is boundless, it depends on how you use it.
Li Qing found City Lord Su and told him this method, letting him make a decision.
After City Lord Su heard Li Qing’s method, he couldn’t help but be stunned. There was actually such a secret technique?
However, there was no problem trying. He nodded and said, “Alright, give it a try. If you can’t, then there won’t be any losses.”
At Su Jingxiang’s residence, the three of them gathered together to discuss this matter.
Li Qing said with an awkward expression, “To execute this Nine Nether Cold Tempering Secret Technique, you need to engrave some talismans on Miss Su’s body, but this is a bit inappropriate. I wonder if Miss Su can accept this?”
“Inscribing talismans? Do you need to paint them all over your body?” Su Jingxiang’s face turned red. She was originally an extremely conservative person. If someone were to paint all over her body with talismans, wouldn’t that mean that her body would be completely exposed to the other party? This was really embarrassing.
Li Qing was also very embarrassed, “You don’t need to use your entire body. Most of the positions are needed. There’s no need to draw private parts…”
Actually, although Su Jingxiang was shy in her heart, she had a good impression of Li Qing. Of course, she was willing to do this. However, she was a girl, so she could not say it herself. She could only say, “Father is the one who makes all the decisions.”
City Lord Su was stunned. He didn’t expect to kick this ball to him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, “There’s no problem. This is to save my daughter. The doctor is kind-hearted. I still believe in Li Qing. Since that’s the case, I’ll go out first. You two can start the treatment.”
After saying that, he smiled strangely and watched the two of them leave the room, full of ambiguity.
Only Li Qing and Su Jingxiang were left, and the air was filled with a strange aura.
After a moment of silence, Su Jingxiang whispered, “Big Brother Li, when are we going to start?”
“Let’s begin now.”
“Yes.” She gently nodded her head, her face flushed red. She did not dare to look into Li Qing’s eyes and began to take off her clothes, leaving only a few underwear.
Her figure was naturally extremely beautiful, and her skin was very white and tender. However, Li Qing did not look sideways and resisted the desire in his heart. He tried not to look at her figure, so he could not see it clearly.
“Is this okay?” Her question.
“Alright, alright …” Li Qing nodded repeatedly.
He took a deep breath and calmed down. When Su Jingxiang saw his indifferent expression, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
