To complete a single cycle in just under one breath inside another individual"s body, how could they possibly believe it?
But the truths were there, laid bare in front of them to see, and indeed, Duan Li had done just that perfectly, completely destroying their perception of what seems to be logical in this world.
In fact, they wouldn"t have any trouble in believing such a thing if it was Duan Li"s own body, but this was other"s!
In their general knowledge taught by the academy, even the most formidable Royal Doctor from the Royal Palace would require at least 20 breaths in order to aid the Qi cycle within other people"s body, as it involves the daunting task of having their injected spiritual Qi to not be rejected by the host"s spiritual Qi.
Then, completing a single cycle would take at least 10 breaths while maintaining equilibrium, thus all in all, what Duan Li had just did in one breath should actually only be possible after 30 breaths!
Just how in the world did he managed to do it?!
Not to mention, that was not the only thing that had them flabbergasted. What was even more bizarre was that, the other party had indeed managed to re-route the traffic flow of spiritual Qi inside Zhuge Liang"s meridians under that single one breath as well!
My Heavens! Has the law of this world changed without us knowing?
That should not have been possible!
"T-This! I could feel that the spread was halted almost immediately!" Zhuge Liang"s eyes complexion turned bright, as he finally became confident that Duan Li would be able to cure him from the unknown plague.
If previously he had harbored some doubts with the other party, right now he already had put a complete faith in the other party"s capabilities!
"Oh I remembered, no wonder you guys thought that it was impossible, turns out that I forgot you should at least cultivate your second dantian to re-route your spiritual Qi into using other meridians forcefully.." Duan Li scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Hearing this, they finally came into the realization as well. The nature of spiritual Qi, once taken into the dantian would become unique and possess repulsing nature towards other foreign spiritual Qi, acting similar to a person"s anti-body against diseases and illnesses.
This was also why it took doctors quite some time to aid a patient"s spiritual Qi cycle so that the two nature of spiritual Qi between them and the host"s does not repulse with each other.
But now they understood why it was possible for Duan Li to achieve what he did. Since the spiritual Qi of his second dantian also possess a different nature, it means that right now inside Zhuge Liang"s meridians, there were three different spiritual Qi coursing through it!
By having the third dantian blocking the pathways towards the infected region, when the two spiritual Qi came in contact with it, the repulsive nature of it will cause them to be redirected to somewhere else conveniently!
Still however, this does not mean that things had become less mystifying. In fact, their mind had become more mind-boggled by this new knowledge.
It appears that, the more they know, the more it became vagued and difficult to understand!
Sighing depressingly, they had to force themselves to accept it, no matter how outlandish the entire phenomena were!
"Now that the infected region has stopped spreading.. how do you plan to extract them out?" Xu Rong asked.
"That is even simpler. Since their food is spiritual Qi, we just have to find another source of spiritual Qi for them to retreat into!" Duan Li replied as he chuckled, his disposition was like that of a teacher answering the question of his student.
"Do you guys have some monster cores? The higher its rank, the faster the next treatment would be!" he continued.
Flip!
With a flip of her palm, Xu Liyu produced two, 3 Star monster cores!
"Will this amount do?" she said nervously. She only had two of them at the moment as she frequently cultivate with them, thus, she was afraid that it might not be enough.
Looking at the two monster cores, Duan Li nodded.
"En! This should be enough!" he said.
Placing one of the monster core on top of the opened wound from Zhuge Liang"s left arm, Duan Li stimulated it for a bit so that the spiritual Qi inside the monster core could become active.
Wenggg!!
And just as expected, the moment the monster core began to glow, the black stuff inside Zhuge Liang"s body started to pour into it crazily!
"ARRGHHH!!" the latter groaned in pain as beads of sweat dropped from his forehead.
And then slowly, his left eye turned back to normal and black veins around it also began to disappear. It didn"t take long for the plagued region on half of his body to recede all the way back into his left arm before the 3 Star monster core turned entirely black!
Pang!
Duan Li threw the infected monster core to the ground and fetched the fresh one, enacting the similar process like before until Zhuge Liang"s entire left arm turned normal again.
Pang!
"F-Finally.. it"s gone.." Zhuge Liang said slowly as manly tears began to form and threatened to fall from the corner of his eyes.
He had already resigned to his pitiful fate before and even determined to have someone end his own life so that he would not turn into something inhuman.
But now that he was saved from such a hopeless situation, who could blame him for getting emotional like this?
"Xu Rong, burn the first infected monster core to ashes!" Duan Li instructed.
"En!" Xu Rong nodded as she threw a fireball onto the pitch black monster core.
Coming into contact with the flames, the black substance inside it began to screech and seethe out before turning into a pile of burnt ash!
Xu Liyu turned towards the other one laying on the floor, "What about that other one?"
"We should submit it to the Princ.i.p.al to have the matter looked into." Duan Li replied with the rest of them nodded, in agreement with his decision.
They needed to know just what was it actually that they were dealing with here.
Could a monster really possess such an ability to turn human into a monster of its kind?
This was definitely the first they had ever witnessed for such a thing to happen, and it seems to be more than meets the eye!
Suu!!
With the threat gone, Duan Li and the two sisters retracted their palm from Zhuge Liang"s left and right arm respectively.
"Thank you sir Duan Li! From now on, as long as it is within my capabilities and means, I would help you with anything!" Zhuge Liang stood up as he performed a 90 degrees bow towards Duan Li.
Waving his hand dismissively, Duan Li casually replied with the air of an expert, "This is nothing to fret over! As we are both fellow cultivator of the same academy, we should do our best to help each other in times of need. Doing so would only benefit the Empire as a whole greatly, so don"t mention it!"
I have to act cool and magnanimous so that my reputation as the Lord would soar from now on!
Xu Liyu and Zhuge Liang then began to brief Duan Li and Xu Rong regarding the recent events that had transpired.
Hearing those, Duan Li"s expression turned serious.
"Could it be that because I"ve slayed a few thousands of them last night, that time began to retaliate again by popping out 3 Star monsters randomly among the packs?" Duan Li couldn"t help but to ponder onto this thought.
If that were really the case, wouldn"t that practically meant that he could not do anything at all since time continued to react against him?
"If it is truly like that, I swear that once I get strong enough, I will find those who was in charge of this "time" madness.. once I found them, I will mop the entire nine heavens floor with their face on the ground!"
Now that all was well, Zhuge Liang sat down cross-legged on the ground to meditate and took in the surrounding spiritual Qi to alleviate his condition.
Slowly, his complexion turned better and normal once again.
Suddenly however, they could hear some sort of commotion going on outside the camp, as if the people outside were shouting and cheering out loud for something!
"Huh? What going on outside?" they turned towards each other as they decided to have a look.
