My Lady Always Lacks Ambition
Chapter 1198 - 1144: Some People’s Strength Isn’t Unearned!
Qin Liu Xi followed He Ming to the Daoist Room of the Qinglan Temple Master. His disciple, Taiqing, sat cross-legged by the bamboo bed, eyes closed, muttering to himself.
"Master, Master Buqiu has arrived." He Ming stepped forward and whispered softly.
Taiqing opened his eyes, saw Qin Liu Xi, and stood up to perform a Taoist ceremony: "Brother Buqiu, you’ve come quickly, thank you for your trouble."
Qin Liu Xi returned the courtesy and said, "This concerns Shibo, so I dare not delay."
She stepped forward to look at the Qinglan Temple Master on the bamboo bed. His hair had turned into white silver strands, and his face was full of wrinkles, his complexion gray and his lips slightly purplish. His chest barely rose and fell, showing weakness.
Compared to the immortal figure from a few years ago, the current Qinglan Temple Master seemed on the verge of passing away. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
However, as fellow cultivators, she couldn’t see his life expectancy.
Qin Liu Xi took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again, now clear and bright, knelt on the cushion beside the bamboo bed, took his hand, and placed her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse. As soon as she did, she frowned.
Under her fingers, the skin was cold and empty, the pulse weak, Qi and blood both deficient. With insufficient Qi, it was hard to circulate blood, and with inadequate blood, the muscles were not nourished, making his body cold. Most importantly, all his internal organs were damaged, and the Qi mechanism was so blocked that the meridians could not be cleared, the yin and yang imbalanced. In this condition, if the blood doesn’t reach the heart, it could easily lead to a heart attack.
"There is a disorder of yin and yang, vital energy is weak, this is because of backlash from using magic that injured his internal organs." Qin Liu Xi switched hands to check his pulse again and said, "I heard from He Ming that it was a mystical conflict with someone. Who was it?"
"Master said it was a monk." Taiqing’s expression was somewhat sorrowful.
Qin Liu Xi thought about a Buddha form she saw on that Xuanming, could it also be Si Luo’s dharma form?
She continued to evaluate the pulse, knowing the Qinglan Temple Master was a cultivator of the Taoist Sect, and the Qinglan Temple spread the teachings inherited from Heavenly Master Zhang, so understanding the way of life preservation was profound. The Nourishing Body Pills refined in their temple were certainly consumed regularly, so their body’s functionality was far superior to ordinary people.
The current ruin was all due to the backlash from using magic.
Qin Liu Xi withdrew her hand and said to Taiqing, "The internal organs are severely damaged, what Elixir Pills were used?"
Taiqing replied, "After Grandmaster failed in the mystical conflict, he had already consumed the Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pill upon returning."
This was also a Life Extending Pill, extremely rare, with only one existing in the Qinglan Temple, and now that it’s used, it’s gone. They have the elixir recipe, but refining this elixir is very difficult.
Qin Liu Xi was surprised and said, "You still have such a treasure in storage?"
He Ming and Taiqing’s mouths twitched, was she showing a yearning expression?
"I was just asking." Qin Liu Xi awkwardly laughed: "Definitely not wanting one."
Of course, if they gave her one, she wouldn’t decline!
Taiqing smiled bitterly: "What you said is true, the Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pill is indeed our Qinglan Temple’s treasured item, but as it is said, ’treasured in storage’, naturally rare. Even if you desired, it’s no longer available, the last one was used to save Master’s life!"
Qin Liu Xi: Arrived too late!
He Ming couldn’t bear to look directly and asked, "Master Buqiu, although Grandmaster took the Great Returning Pill, and Master also performed acupuncture on him, it’s been three days, and he still hasn’t regained consciousness, could he possibly..."
"Blame my medical skills for being unrefined," Taiqing sighed.
Qin Liu Xi then said, "The backlash he endured this time was severe, he must have used a considerable Great Secret Technique to such an extent. The fact that he could extend his life and escape back in time is already very good. His vitality is weak, and the Qi mechanism is also blocked. I will first use the Rejuvenation Nine Needles for acupuncture to renew vitality and balance yin and yang, then use the Taiyin Divine Needle to nurture the Qi mechanism and regulate Qi and blood. Additionally, with the aid of a medicine bath, we can unblock the meridians. Gradually nurturing him to about seventy to eighty percent recovery, he can then seclude himself for cultivation, free from external disturbances, and he should recover."
Both were overjoyed upon hearing this, saving him was indeed excellent.
He Ming asked, "When do we start? What needs to be prepared?"
"Prepare the medicine bath, and we also need to make some Soul Calming Incense."
Qin Liu Xi walked to the side, took a pen and paper, dipped it in ink, pondered a little, and began writing a prescription, occasionally pausing to add or remove ingredients. Finally, she rewrote it on another paper and handed it over: "This is the decoction for regulation, adjust it after a few days of using the needle."
Taiqing took a look and, recalling her writing and stopping just now, needing to contemplate for a long time, now felt that her consideration wasn’t long at all, but rather too fast.
This prescription used bold medicines, but each herb was just right, treating internal injuries while also nourishing the internal organs, replenishing yin, nourishing blood, and solidifying the foundation, nurturing yuan.
