Chapter 163 (1/2)
The Night Assault
Through a small alley, and over a secluded hall, they came to a parlor behind an elegant site.
It was a beautiful day and the air was clean. Su Yun saw a tranquil chamber made from bamboo.
“Quan Zi loves bamboo. This place is all made from bamboo.”
Mu Tian Hao said as he led Su Yun into the bamboo chamber.
“Old Master!”
The two servants with their hair tied up in knots paid respect to Mu Tian Hao and the others.
Mu Tian Hao nodded and asked: “How is young master?”
“Report Old Master, young master is injured badly. He had been in pain. We had changed the spiritual doctor three times and yet, he still did not look like he was recovering. He can only rely on medication to suppress the pain. After taking the medication, there was nothing else we could do.”
“Is that so?’
Mu Tian Hao frowned and looked depressed. He sighed a breath: “Open the door. Let me in, I’ll take a look!”
“Yes Master!”
The two servants replied and pushed opened the door leading into the bamboo chamber.
The outside of the bamboo chamber was calm and graceful. The inside of the chamber was not an exception either. It was nicely decorated with all sorts of bamboo and they looked extremely exquisite. In addition, there was a Soul Stone sealed on each of the decoration. The spiritual Qi floated in the air and surrounded the place.
And in the corners of the chamber, there was huge bamboo bed. On top of it laid a pale looking young lad clad in a thin layer of clothes.
The man looked extremely awful. There were several blue black patches on his naked skin and on those blue black patches, there were cracks. Within the cracks, the blood vessels burst. The blood circled around the blue cracks. Underneath the bed was a spiritual array. The spiritual array worked its magic continuously to release an energy to surround the young lad’s body to help him in recovery, and to prevent blood from flowing out.
But this could only help him temporarily. Just by the looks of it, one could tell how much pain he was in.
Beside the bed was a slightly plump old lady clad in yellow garments. The old lady kneaded the towel without a word. Her eyes red as she sobbed incessantly.
“Old Master!”
Once she saw Mu Tian Hao in the chamber, she cried out, unable to control her tears.
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore. There’s a guest. Don’t be so embarrassing!”
Mu Tian Hao frowned as he said then he turned to Su Yun and pleaded: “Prince Su, Quan Er is sick. The normal spiritual doctors can’t heal him. Please diagnose him and save Quan Er, Prince Su!”
“Sick?”
Su Yun knitted his brows and walked over. He studied Mu Feng who seemed to have fainted and frowned again. He reached out to his neck and lightly instigated Profound Spirit Qi.
Under the control of Su Yun, the Profound Spirit Qi penetrated into Mu Feng’s body. The moment it entered, it was blocked by all sorts of black substances. Pure Divine Spirit Qi had yet to fully penetrated into his body and it was completely obstructed.
Su Yun retreated back, his expression changed slightly.
“Prince Su, may I know what’s the diagnosis of Quan Er?” Mu Tian Hao asked.
Su Yun turned his head around and stared at Mu Tian Hao: “Patriarch Master, Prince Mu Feng is not sick, but injured right? Why didn’t you tell me straight earlier?”
“Injured?”
Mu Tian Hao face turned ugly but very quickly, he muttered: “Prince Su, please don’t be angry. Now is not the time to pursue if Quan Er is sick or injured. What you must consider is how you can save Quan Er. Please help us, Prince Su. Save Quan Er!”
Mu Tian Hao avoided the important and focused on the trivial matters, as though he was trying to cover up for something.
Su Yun was not happy, but he thought of something and was suddenly enlightened.
The profound spirit Qi that rejected his own spirit qi, seemed to be from the Soul Stone? That meant, Mu Feng was injured from the Soul Stone.
Soul Stone energy? It was merely just Soul Stone techniques? If that was the case, then it meant…
Su Yun took a deep breath in and knew where his mistake was.
This was their family’s matters. It was better not to ask so many questions. It was best he took the Soul Stone powder and left as soon as possible.
He checked through Mu Feng’s body once again and determined he still had signs of life in him. Then he rose and replied blandly: “Patriarch Master, young master’s illness can only probably be cured by Electric Wood to repel his illness! Other than that, there’s probably nothing else!”
Electric Wood was a special type of wood. It contained a special type of current which had a strong suppression effect on soul stone. It could repel all sorts of soul stone energy in Mu Feng’s body.
“Electric wood?”
When Mu Tian Hao heard that, he did not have a big reaction. Instead, he shook his head and told Su Yun: “Actually, there are several spiritual doctors who told me Electric Wood could work, but Electric Wood is only produced in the electrical forest. To obtain one piece of Electric Wood is already impossible. Those spiritual doctors said they could heal Quan Er, but they said he needed at least a hundred Electric Wood! To get one hundred Electric Wood, the Mu Family would probably have to sacrifice tons of lives to get them from such a vicious place.”
“You can buy it from the market! Although it is very expensive but you should be able to get your hands on them.”
“Is it hard to get such a huge number of Electric Wood in such a short period of time. Quan Er might not be able to last till then!”
It was rare for markets to have Electric Woods on hand and it was also very expensive. With the Mu family’s powers, it was impressive of them to be able to get ten of the Electric Woods in a month. Collecting a hundred of them? They probably would not have collected all of them even after Mu Feng had been buried in the ground.
Su Yun heard and pondered for awhile before he opened to say: “It might not be difficult to collect a hundred of the electric wood. I can help you but you have to promise me one thing. If you can satisfy my conditions, I’ll get you the Electric Woods. How’s that?”
