"You.. you said you could cure me?" Meng Yue stared at her son with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Duan Li, I know how capable you are, but don"t give your mother some false hope, it would only-"
Before the Princ.i.p.al could even finish his own sentence, Duan Li had already interjected him.
"I"m not joking.. I could actually cure her right now." he said with confidence gleaming in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward, "I could vouche for his words Princ.i.p.al. After all, he was the one who saved and cured me from that same virus before.. I trust him!"
"En! Me and my little sister here have witnessed it as well. We believe in him!" the sisters nodded to each other.
Hearing them making such a confident statement, the Princ.i.p.al could not help but to feel that a strand of hope that he had long forgotten was being lit back like torch amidst a dark, endless tunnel.
Back then, he had tried numerous ways to treat Meng Yue from her affliction but to no avail. Perhaps, the only method that he did not dare to try was to request the help from a medical doctor, from the fear that her secret would be spread to others.
Thus, he could only wailed from his lack of capabilities in silence, and from then on, his hopes slowly vanished with time as Meng Yue decided to isolate herself from the rest of the world.
Granted that it was not anyone"s fault for how she turned out to be right now, but as one of the person present in that scene back then, he couldn"t help but to have a sense of shame and lament in guilt for not being able to prevent it from happening.
"You.. really could do it?" he asked with a hopeful tone.
"I can, it shouldn"t be a problem!" Duan Li replied positively.
He then turned towards his mother, "Mother, I have to ask you to sit down cross-legged in a lotus position and cut half the speed of your Qi cycle for me to treat you!"
With teary eyes, Meng Yue nodded, "En!" and sat down with a smile.
Even if you can"t cure mother.. just this effort of yours is already enough for me..
Sonar Qi!
Wengg!!
In a single burst, Meng Yue"s body turned golden as Duan Li performed his diagnosis.
"W-What kind of mastery is this?!" the Princ.i.p.al muttered out in shock.
He had seen many formidable medical doctors performing the same skill art, yet the phenomena happening in front of him right now was a first!
To think that the Sonar Qi of the other party would turn an entire person golden.. just how pure was his spiritual Qi?
And by the looks of it, it seems that he was already done with it too!
"Wait.. oh no! What if he now knows that his mother could no longer conceive her own children? He would then began to doubt whether Meng Yue was his real mother or not!" the Princ.i.p.al"s face paled in horror.
This is bad! I should"ve realized this earlier and stopped him!
Gulp!
"How.. was it?" Meng Yue asked her son, feeing extremely nervous.
Duan Li closed his eyes for a while before opening them and answered, "As I thought.."
Gulp!
"He knows!!" the Princ.i.p.al said to himself, his heart beating furiously in trepidation!
"This is indeed no problem at all!" Duan Li chuckled and turned to Xu Liyu, "Give me the 3 Star monster core that you have left from before."
Of which, the latter nodded and swiftly gave him the monster core that he needs.
Eh?
"Haa... I thought he would really found out.. but what"s going on? With such a formidable Sonar Qi like that, he would"ve been able to detect any sorts of abnormalities inside her body!" the Princ.i.p.al let out a breath of relief.
Was he.. hiding it?
"However, I"ve detected that this virus was far less potent than the virus inside of Zhuge Liang before.. this must"ve been the earlier version of it.." Duan Li said as he pat his palm down on his mother"s left shoulder.
Huu!!
Wengg!!
Injecting his spiritual Qi inside his mother"s meridians, Duan Li then began to work quickly by first blocking completely the meridians that was cut off so as to deprave the virus completely from receiving any spiritual Qi at all.
Sensing this phenemona, it didn"t took his mother long to realize that something was amiss. When she finally confirmed something, she let out a look of utter shock, "You.. you cultivated your second dantian??"
"Hmm? Ahh, yes mother! It"s how I managed to block the Qi flow in your meridians!" Duan Li replied casually.
He then put the monster core closer to her wound on her left abdomen and stimulated it slightly.
Wengg!!
The monster core began to glow dimly as the virus quickly sensed it.
"Urghh.." Meng Yue grimaced in pain.
Whrrrr..
"T-They moved into the monster core? I..I see.. I get it! First, we have to deprave the virus from spiritual Qi before introducing it to another spiritual Qi source so that it has no choice but to migrate over in order to survive!" the Princ.i.p.al said in realization.
Why didn"t he thought of this before?!
"Would it also work if we just give it a higher grade monster core without depraving it first? I mean if it were in case of an emergency.." Shen Lu spoke out after being in the background this entire time.
The reason he asked this was that, as the strategist of Duan Li"s party, he needed to make sure that every possibilities would be accounted for.
If in tomorrow"s battle for example, that someone from their party got inflicted with the same virus, they could perform an emergency treatment on the spot.
In response to this however, Xu Rong shook her head, "I don"t think so.. and Princ.i.p.al, pardon me if what I would be saying here is out of bounds, but while the treatment seemed simple enough at first glance.. if you were to look at its process yourself, you would realize how difficult it is to actually perform it!"
"To put this into an a.n.a.logy, just because a theory says that a hundred thousand men could move a mountain, in reality, it would perhaps requires more than that!" she explained.
Shen Lu nodded as he understood what she meant. Indeed, because everyone"s capability was not made equal, what seemed to be easy for one to do might not necessarily be the case for another!
This was especially the case if one were to compare themselves with Duan Li, their monster Lord with monstrous and mind-bending, seemingly out of this world capabilities!
After all, who the h.e.l.l in this whole Tian continent had ever cultivated all their three dantians before? Definitely none.
And who had ever striked a deal with the heavens before? There was none too!
"I don"t understand, explain it to me in a much simpler and non-vague terms!" Shen Murong said as he scratched his head.
Xu Rong sighed, "You do know that our Lord here cultivated all his three dantians right? He uses one source of it to guide his mother"s spiritual Qi to flow in certain pathways and then complemented it using his second source to block some meridians off completely!"
"By understanding this process, it should be safe to say that normal people could perform this treatment as well, just that instead of a single person doing the treatment, it would require two individuals doing two different things at the same time!" she explained.
"I see.. then what"s the problem with that?" Shen Murong cupped his chin.
w.a.n.g Xiolun spoke out, "The problem with that, is that it is highly likely that it won"t work at all."
"Huh?" Shen Murong creased his brows together, getting even more confused.
Since two people could perform the same thing that he did, why won"t it work then?
"You are forgetting that.. each of us has a unique signature to our own spiritual Qi.. even medical doctors would require intense practice so that injecting their spiritual Qi into a patient"s body does not cause rejection from the host.. imagine if more than one source was injected.. the patient would then die instead of being cured.." Xiahou Yu continued.
"That"s right." Xu Rong nodded, "The only reason that I could think off as to how it was possible for our Lord to perform this was that, there exists some form of familiarity or something between all his three dantians."
"But of course, this is only my conjecture as I have no way to prove it since I don"t cultivate with all three dantian.. but in summary.. even though in theory this could be performed by two people, it would be extremely, very difficult!" she added.
"I see.. well, there goes another area that I can"t compete with.." Shen Murong sighed feeling dejected.
The Princ.i.p.al nodded as well, "Ahh.. is that how it is? What a pity.."
Peng!
While they were busy conversing, Duan Li finally finished extracting out all of the virus that was residing inside his mother"s body before and threw the infected monster core to the floor.
"Done! And by the way, I heard you guys talking and well, Shen Lu is not completely wrong there. I seemed to discover a pattern that this virus preferred a purer source of spiritual Qi. So, if you give it an even purer source of it, they would definitely migrate over without a second thought." Duan Li said.
"Just that, since their purpose was to multiply and then take over the host, not all of them would migrate. So in the end, this would only be a temporary measure to slow down their growth rate inside one"s body." he added.
Shen Lu thought for a while and then asked, "Would Spirit Stones do?"
"No.. while the spiritual Qi within a Spirit Stone is pure and dense, they are inanimated and is the result from geographical formation of compressing dead organism for hundreds of years.." Duan Li replied.
"Perhaps you could think of this virus like us cultivators? That we need organic spiritual Qi from the surrounding living organism? That is also the reason why we cannot cultivate the spiritual Qi from spirit stones.." he added and then turned to his mother.
"How are you feeling mother?" he asked with a gentle smile.
Tears dropped from her cheeks once more, "I.. I could feel that it"s gone entirely.. the stiffling sensation in my abdomen was gone! This.. is this a dream?"
"It"s not a dream mother.. you"re finally free from it.." Duan Li replied softly.
"Uuhh.. uhh.. uwaaahhhh!!" Meng Yue cried out from the bottom of her heart as she hugged her son tightly.
How long had she suffered and endured such an agonizing torment?
To constantly being reminded that, one day she would turn into a monster?
That she would have to end her own life so that she wouldn"t hurt others?
All these while, she had been living alone under the constant fear that such a day would eventually come knocking for her!
Had it not been for that person suddenly appearing before her, and then giving her the "miracle" during the lowest point of her life back then, bestowing Duan Li, a child whom she could proudly claim as her own, she would have long gone crazy and committed suicide.
She was that close to her breaking point!
It was only from the birth of Duan Li that she found her motivation to live on, despite still being haunted by her fears.
Because she believed in that man"s last words before disappearing somewhere, that one day, her son would "solve everything"!
The rest of them looked away and stepped back a little bit, giving the both of mother and son some room.
Xiahou Yu and the rest of the women there cried silently, feeling touched with the emotional scene.
Meanwhile, the most unexpected one to cry was Shen Murong, whom turned himself back and faced against the walls of the tent with both arms crossed on his chest while muttering, "I"m not crying!" with gritted teeth.
"Mother.. I promise you.. those Dark Sect or whatever it is they were called as.. they were responsible for this.. for your suffering.."
"I.. will show them no mercy!" Duan Li swore an oath inside his heart as the high heavens rumbled with lightning and thunders!
