The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 177
Chapter 177 Treatment of Terminal Illness (4)
When Su Jingxiang saw that Li Qing’s expression didn’t seem to be moved, she couldn’t help but be very disappointed. She thought to herself, “Could it be that my charm isn’t enough? My figure should be quite good…”
Thinking of this, she lowered her head to look at her curvaceous figure. Her face turned red and she secretly glanced at Li Qing again. Then, she lowered her head again. Her actions were very strange.
Li Qing coughed dryly and broke the strange atmosphere. “Alright, I’m going to start carving now. Are you ready?” He said.
“Yes.” Su Jingxiang replied softly, then closed her eyes and allowed Li Qingshi to act.
Li Qing took a deep breath and restrained the ape in his heart. He held his breath and began to write.
Talisman brushes and cinnabar are needed to inscribe talismans. To be exact, this cinnabar was no ordinary cinnabar. Instead, it was made from the blood of all sorts of precious demonic beasts. It contained mysterious power. Of course, Li Qing had already prepared these things, so he took them out of his interspatial ring at this moment.
The process of engraving talismans was extremely fragrant. Li Qing held a talisman pen in one hand and continuously wrote strange characters and patterns on her flawless body. There was an ancient and primeval charm that seemed to be faintly related to each other, forming a mysterious formation.
Su Jingxiang’s body was flawless and white, filled with a beautiful luster, emitting a faint virgin fragrance, extremely attractive. Although Li Qing tried his best to restrain himself, he still felt his heart tremble. He almost lost his mind and almost made a few mistakes.
Especially when some parts were carved, the eyes were close to that place, and they could almost see everything in one glance. Su Jingxiang’s body was too white and tender, sparkling and translucent. Even the thin blood vessels on her skin could be seen clearly without any secrets. This was even more unbearable for him. His brain was congested and almost exploded.
Luckily, his calmness was exceptional. He forcefully suppressed the flames in his heart and managed to persevere. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Su Jingxiang closed her eyes tightly. No matter what Li Qingshi did, her body trembled slightly. She only felt that the talisman pen was gently writing on her body. It felt itchy, as if his hand was gently stroking her. There was a strange feeling.
She did not know what had occurred to her, but her face would occasionally turn red, and her breathing would be a little short.
The room quieted down, only the rustling sound of the talisman brush rubbing against the skin and the slightly hurried sound of breathing. Neither of them dared to speak, lest they should be distracted.
After about half an hour, Li Qing finally finished carving. His head was covered in sweat and he took a long breath and said, “Alright.”
Su Jingxiang opened her eyes and saw that her body was covered in dense talismans that covered her entire body. Her face was red and she lowered her head and asked softly, “What should we do next?”
“Sit down…”
In the room, Li Qing and Su Jingxiang sat cross-legged, stretching out their hands together, their palms pressing against each other.
In Li Qing’s imagination, his True Essence entered Su Jingxiang’s body from his left hand. After undergoing the Cold Tempering Secret Technique, he melted the cold energy and returned to his body from his right hand, forming a perfect cycle.
In this process, Su Jingxiang only needed to remain motionless and did not need to do anything.
“Let’s begin!”
He took a deep breath and poured a strand of True Essence into Su Jingxiang’s body. He manipulated the True Essence to the position where the Yin Cold Force was coiled, and felt a wave of cold energy welcome it.
Li Qing immediately activated his True Essence to enter the cold Qi. Then, he circulated the Cold Tempering Secret Technique, as if he had immersed a piece of hot and red iron in cold water. Instantly, violent fluctuations occurred and it boiled.
The talisman on Su Jingxiang’s body emitted a mysterious light, echoing Li Qing’s true essence from afar, forming a mysterious resonance…
This method was indeed effective. After the reaction of the Cold Tempering Secret Technique, Li Qing’s True Essence easily melted a trace of the eternal cold energy. It flowed like a stream of water, bringing out that strand of cold energy. The True Essence circled around Su Jingxiang’s body and flowed back into Li Qing’s body from her other hand.
That wisp of cold air was emitted from Su Jingxiang’s surface, turning into a wisp of white smoke and disappearing.
“Success!”
Li Qing’s spirits lifted and he did not stop. Instead, he continued to pour strands of True Essence into Su Jingxiang’s body. After a period of tempering with a secret technique, he easily melted a trace of the cold energy and emitted it out of his body. The True Essence then flowed back into Su Jingxiang’s body.
Threads of True Essence entered Su Jingxiang’s body indefinitely, like a thin stream of water, melting the cold energy, rinsing it, and taking it away.
They went back and forth in circles.
Su Jingxiang’s entire body emitted smoke as she steamed upwards. Waves of cold energy were forced out of her body.
After half an hour of treatment, Li Qing stopped and said, “Alright, let’s call it a day. A portion of the cold energy has melted, and it has reached its limit. The rest should not be done too hastily. It needs time to continue melting in the future.”
It wasn’t easy to melt this part of the cold energy that hadn’t melted for tens of thousands of years. Even with the Cold Tempering Secret Technique, it wasn’t possible. It needed to be polished slowly, and it wasn’t done overnight.
“Will it take a long time?” Su Jingxiang’s face had always been blushing, and she did not dare to look up at Li Qing. For some reason, when she heard his words, her face actually seemed to be a little happy.
“That’s right, we need to divide it into several treatments. How do you feel now?” Li Qing asked with concern.
“I feel much better. Your treatment is not painful. You don’t need to do anything. It’s very easy. If this continues, you should be able to cure my illness successfully.”
Li Qing let out a long breath and immediately relaxed. He couldn’t help but secretly glance at Su Jingxiang’s figure. She had a strange look on her face, but she quickly concealed it.
Su Jingxiang’s intuition was very sharp, and she instantly noticed Li Qing’s obscure gaze. The corner of her mouth inadvertently curved.
She couldn’t help but secretly laugh in her heart, “So you also know how to peek. I thought you were indifferent. Pretend, continue pretending…”
Li Qing coughed dryly and stood up. “The matter has been settled. Since that’s the case, I’ll leave first.”
“When is the next treatment scheduled?” Su Jingxiang asked.
“It will be three days later.”
…
He walked out of Su Jingxiang’s room and found City Lord Su standing outside with his hands behind his back. He saw that Li Qing’s gaze was very strange.
“My dear nephew, what’s the result?” He asked.
“This method is effective. It has just dispelled a portion of Miss Su’s cold energy. It should be able to cure her illness very soon.” Li Qing said with a smile.
City Lord Su’s face was overjoyed, “That’s great. When will it be cured?”
“According to the progress of treatment once every three days, it should be about a month.”
City Lord Su’s heart finally landed on the ground, and his expression relaxed. He laughed loudly and said, “Thank you so much! I really didn’t trust the wrong person! From now on, you are the savior of my Su Clan.”
“However, he did not disappoint the trust and support of the City Lord and Miss Su.”
City Lord Su pretended to be unhappy and said, “You, don’t keep calling Miss Su in the future. It’s too unfamiliar. Just call her Jingxiang directly. This will make you look more intimate.”
Li Qing smiled bitterly, “Alright then, it’s called Jingxiang.”
“Haha, that’s right. You two are both young people. You can get closer in the future.” City Lord Su was so enthusiastic that Li Qing couldn’t bear it.
After getting rid of City Lord Su with great difficulty and returning to his own residence, Li Qing felt a little confused.
Thinking back to the treatment process just now, although he had tried his best to control his mind and not look at the beautiful body, the white flower’s body always swayed in front of his eyes, almost lighting up his eyes. It was inevitable that he would secretly look at it a few times when he couldn’t help it.
This caused a trace of guilt to arise in his heart.
“However, that figure is really excellent. I wonder if she noticed it …” He muttered to himself, smacking his lips as if he had an endless aftertaste.
After a long time, he calmed down, shook his head, and threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind. Being able to cure the lunar meridians was finally worthy of City Lord Su and Su Jingxiang’s trust. He could be considered to have unloaded a heavy burden.
Actually, he didn’t know much about medicine, and the pill refining technique was only half-baked at the beginning. It was purely a coincidence that he was able to cure the lunar meridians.
In this process, he had also obtained great benefits. Alchemy had already reached a high level, and could be considered the elite of alchemists in the world.
After carefully examining the situation in his body, his True Qi became even more condensed, and his quality rose to a higher level. Even his cultivation seemed to have increased a little, which was a pleasant surprise.
