Chapter: 715 (1/2)

AST 715 – Destruction of Luo Clan, Hai Dongqing’s Thoughts(2)

She was a lady with great pride, and it was very difficult for her to be the one professing her love to Qing Shui. She had tried to show it through all the things she was doing now and was waiting for Qing Shui’s reaction. If he felt something for her, then he would react accordingly. Otherwise, even if she were to say it out, it would only make it increasingly awkward between them.

Therefore, after some hesitation, she decided to hold her reins. It was because the decision now lay in Qing Shui’s hands.

Sometimes, Qing Shui was really slow. Take now for example, he was still thinking to himself subconsciously that he didn’t wish to get involved with any women. Therefore, he didn’t give it much thought nor would he be such a narcissist to think that Hai Dongqing would like him.

Even though she had hugged him before, it was a result of the situation then. At most, she was merely grateful to him. After all, he had done her a great favor.

Hai Dongqing was slightly disappointed. She was still unable take the initiative to profess, and she had not fallen so deeply in love with him yet. Therefore, to a certain degree, the fact that Qing Shui didn’t show any reaction also made her let out a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, humans can be really contradictory creatures!

“Let’s go over. I’ll take a look at Old Master’s injuries in the afternoon. With him around, you can save a lot of effort.” After lunch, Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Mmmm, then let’s head over now.”

Now, Qing Shui was Hai Clan’s benefactor and Hai Dongqing was considered Hai Clan’s main pillar. Most importantly, to them, Qing Shui and Hai Dongqing were already a family.

“Qing Shui and Dongqing are here.” When Hai Tian saw Qing Shui and Hai Dongqing, he was very happy.

“Old Master, let’s go in. Let me take a look at your injuries!” Qing Shui said openly. Since he had promised it, it was better to get it done earlier.

“Then I’ll need to trouble you, Qing Shui.” Hai Tian hesitated before smiling and said.

Hai Dongqing smiled and left. Qing Shui followed Hai Tian into his room.

“Qing Shui, take a seat, have a drink.”

Hai Tian picked up his teapot and made a pot of tea, before pouring two cups. This tea was not thick, it was light and fragrant. It was the kind that Qing Shui loved.

“My ailment comes from poison. After so many years, my body has already been fully corroded by the poison. I no longer hold any hopes.” Hai Tian sipped on his tea and said softly.

Qing Shui smiled and didn’t say a word. He knew what Hai Tian meant. He was trying to tell him that it was normal if he couldn’t heal him. It wouldn’t be because of his lacking in medical skills, but because the poison was hard to counteract.

“Please take this first and see if there’s any effect.” Qing Shui took out a Five Dragon Pellet and passed it to this kind old man.

Hai Tian took it without hesitation!

Qing Shui sensed the changes in Hai Tian’s body. The lost vitality strummed in his body. However, as he had been poisoned for too long, the Five Dragon Pellet showed no other effects.

Qing Shui then took out a Pure Jade Pellet and got Hai Tian to take it. This time around, it might be because the Five Dragon Pellet from earlier had purged the remaining poison in Hai Tian’s body, thus the effect of the Pure Jade Pellet seemed a lot better. However, it only made Hai Tian’s condition better. It couldn’t heal Hai Tian.

In the end, Qing Shui still had to use the Gold Needles to purge the poison as well as using acupuncture to stimulate the potential in Hai Tian’s body. This was something that ordinary Alchemists would think of as an top notch existence. This was something that they would chase all their lives.

Nature Energy!

The Nature Energy which was now at level five let Qing Shui discover how powerful its use was. It could completely clean up the poison in Hai Tian’s body. That instant effect let Qing Shui feel extremely comfortable.

Strengthening the body’s foundations!

The body’s potential could be stimulated and the Qi of Ancient Strengthening Technique had a similar effect as well. Adding in Nature Energy and the amazing acupuncture, the condition of Hai Tian’s body was slowly changed for the better.

Time passed by little by little, and Hai Tian’s face started to look a little flushed. Even his cultivation level was slowly increasing.

Qing Shui knew that it was not actually increasing but was just Hai Tian recovering his initial abilities. In the past, Hai Tian must have been a very powerful person, no weaker than the man-slaying bear. However, he would also not be stronger than Luo Di with his ‘Thunder God’.

After a full six hours in the afternoon, Qing Shui finally succeeded in his mission when the sky turned dark.

He let Hai Tian head to his own private chamber to cultivate and stabilize his condition while he took his leave. Having completed this mission, he could leave after staying for a couple of days.

He thought of heading to Di Clan to call Di Chen along before heading back to Greencloud Continent. The thought of going home let Qing Shui have the urge to leave immediately. He missed his mother, his women, and his kids.

Once he came out, he saw Hai Dongqing at the door. Her silhouette appeared very beautiful in the darkness, but at the same time, gave off a lonely feeling that would made one’s heart ache.

“Dongqing!”

“How’s Old Master?” Hai Dongqing asked softly.

By this time, many of Hai Clan’s members also came over, looking at Qing Shui feeling very concerned. Hai Tian was the spiritual pillar in Hai Clan.

“It’s fine now. But don’t disturb him now. He’s in his secret chamber stabilizing his cultivation. Don’t worry!”

Qing Shui’s words gave them great assurance. At the same time, they were also especially thankful to Qing Shui. Their lives had all been saved by Qing Clan, and now, everything in Hai Clan was given by him as well.
