Chapter 1436 — Leveling You Up
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"If I beat you to death, what would you have left to level up for..." Wei Zhao was rather speechless. This kid's way of thinking really did have a problem or two. Still, Wei Zhao said nothing more; he only nodded, then laid his hand upon Wu Chengtian's meridians.
Wu Chengtian thought Wei Zhao was taking his pulse. But the next moment, he felt the injured places within his body begin to be repaired by a mighty current of energy. In an instant his wounds eased a little—something Wu Chengtian could never have imagined.
"Ah!" Wu Chengtian's eyes flew wide. He came from a great clan, and he had taken no small number of injuries in training. After each one, the family's private physicians had treated him, and clever as those doctors were compared with the ones at any ordinary clinic, Wu Chengtian had never in his life seen a healing method like Wei Zhao's.
What was this called? Pulse-reading healing? Wu Chengtian truly had never seen such a thing.
But after that single cry, Wu Chengtian hurriedly shut his mouth. He saw that Wei Zhao's eyes were closed, clearly concentrating on healing him, and he must not disturb him.
Time slipped away, second by second, and the shock in Wu Chengtian's heart only deepened. The injuries in his body were healing so well, so fast! How long had it been, and already his internal injuries were seven parts healed out of ten...
Suddenly a horrifying possibility occurred to Wu Chengtian. The Sun family—were they not a clan of healers? And the reason he had wanted to marry Sun Jingyan was precisely so that she might heal his wounds in the future. But how could Wei Zhao possibly know the Sun family's heart method?
Yet no, that could not be right. The Sun family's heart method seemed able to heal only one person, whereas Wei Zhao appeared able to heal many. Wu Chengtian had heard of Wei Zhao's superb medical skill; back then he had even mistaken Wei Zhao for a swindler when the man offered to treat his aunt's father-in-law. And now? Wei Zhao was no swindler at all—it was Wu Chengtian who had been ignorant.
The thought made Wu Chengtian blush. Fortunately, Wei Zhao was magnanimous and never brought the matter up again. In truth, it was Wu Chengtian's own diligence and devotion that had made Wei Zhao accept him; had he not done all this for Tang Zhi's sake, Wei Zhao would never have taken him in so readily.
What Wu Chengtian had not expected was that nearly every one of the damaged meridians in his body had healed, and even the hidden internal injuries left from his earlier training had been cured by Wei Zhao. Wu Chengtian could scarcely keep from cheering. His two bosses—each one more formidable than the last!
No wonder Ergoudan, fearsome as he was, still called Wei Zhao boss. There was no denying it.
"Begin circulating your own internal-energy method," Wei Zhao suddenly said to Wu Chengtian.
"Oh, right!" Wu Chengtian started, then answered hastily. He dared not dawdle after that; he began to circulate his internal-energy method.
The moment he did, Wu Chengtian felt a vast surge of true qi come rushing over from Wei Zhao and pour straight into his body—and the incantation of the heart method that had run so sluggishly now flowed smoothly in an instant.
It had run poorly before because there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor any elixirs for cultivation. But now Wei Zhao's true qi poured over without cease, and Wu Chengtian's old bottleneck was gone; his internal-arts strength climbed swiftly...
Astonished and overjoyed, Wu Chengtian did not dare slacken in the least, nor rest, for fear of wasting even a trace of true qi. Though his heart was shaken by the question of what Wei Zhao would do with himself after giving away his true qi, since Wei Zhao had chosen to do this, to refuse would be to betray his kindness all the more. So he had no choice but to cultivate all the harder.
