Chapter 1022: Healing Injuries (2/2)

Nie Tian frowned and said, “Your injuries are much heavier than Huang Jinnan’s. Many of your meridians are now congested.”

Eyes narrowed, he examined her even more carefully.

Soon, an astonished look appeared in his eyes.

Human bodies were covered in numerous meridians and acupoints. However, as his flesh aura flowed around inside Pei Qiqi, he discovered that some of her acupoints were like independent rooms that were filled with countless spatial blades.

Nie Tian was aware that very few among humans were skilled at refining their bodies and knew how to develop their acupoints.

Usually, developed acupoints could be used to hold flesh power.

As for Pei Qiqi, even though she had only developed a small portion of her acupoints, each of her developed acupoints was like an independent heaven and earth that contained numerous spatial blades and turbulent spatial power.

“This is probably caused by her unique bloodline.” With this thought, Nie Tian ran a deeper examination, and discovered that her most serious injuries lay within those developed acupoints.

All of those independent spaces were now covered in cracks, which seemed to have undermined those acupoints and caused the spatial blades within them to fly disorderly.

After pondering for a short while, he decided to try healing them with wood power.

However, as his wood power flew out of his spiritual sea into the acupoints that were riddled with cracks, it didn’t seem to be welcome at all, as the spatial blades swarmed in and ripped it to shreds.

“Let me try another approach.”

He withdrew his wood power, and started to infuse her with his flesh power that carried the profound truths of life.

Nie Tian’s flesh power resided in his internal organs, bones, meridians, flesh, and blood, instead of his dantian region.

This time, as wisps of his flesh power entered those damaged acupoints, Pei Qiqi’s spatial blades within them seemed unprecedentedly calm and quiet.

As more and more flesh power fused into them, the life power within it started to take effect in a subtle way.

Soon, changes happened to one of Pei Qiqi’s damaged acupoints. As its cracks and fissures were gradually fixed, the spatial blades that had been surging about uncontrollably within it also settled down and moved orderly again.

Pei Qiqi let out a soothed deep breath, a hint of delight appeared on her face. “Perhaps your bloodline power isn’t as destructive as mine, but it’s every bit as wondrous as mine.”

Nie Tian withdrew his hand from her back.

Pei Qiqi looked over her shoulder, as if to signal him to keep going.

Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “I need some time to recover as well. I almost drained my flesh power protecting Huang Jinnan earlier. And I used some of my remaining flesh power to heal myself. I can’t heal all of your injured acupoints in one go, even if I want to.”

Pei Qiqi nodded gently and said in a low voice, “I see. Sorry that you have to do this for me again.”

She suddenly remembered the time when they had visited that floating continent together. Back then, she had forcibly taken in a wisp of flesh aura that contained an expert’s profound understanding of spatial power. After that, she had fought a series of battles. This had contributed to her suffering a severe backlash.

That time, Nie Tian had healed her by relying on his wondrous bloodline power, just as he was doing now.

Her ice-cold hearted seemed to suddenly be warmed. Even the look in her eyes grew unprecedentedly gentle.

“I’m always happy to heal your injuries for you. Don’t worry about it.” With these words, Nie Tian sat down behind her and closed his eyes. As a thought entered his mind, a few outsider corpses flew out from within his ring of holding.

Then, after numerous scarlet blood strings pierced into them, he activated Life Drain to drain the corpses of their residual flesh power.

Whenever he had used Life Drain before, he would cautiously find a secluded place to do it, so that others wouldn’t find out about this shocking bloodline talent of his.

Only when facing Dong Li and Pei Qiqi did he felt that his secrets were safe.

Nie Tian’s mind drifted away. “Deep down, do I attach as much importance to Senior Martial Sister Pei as Dong Li? Senior Martial Sister Pei was the second person to know about my special bloodline, only after my master. Even Dong Li didn’t know about it until later.

“Senior Martial Sister Pei...” As these thoughts entered his mind, strange looks appeared on his face without him knowing it.

However, Pei Qiqi, who had turned around to face him, fixed her bright eyes on him.

Looking at his handsome, determined face, she couldn’t help but recall the day she had met him for the first time.

Standing next to Hua Mu in front of the gate to her master’s courtyard, he had been young and inexperienced. “No, he’s not that teenager anymore. He’s already become a man.”
