AST 1609 - Constitution Nurturing, Qing Shui Preparing To Go Home (2/2)
Feng Xi and Yin Tian were very touched and grateful for Qing Shui in his efforts to help them. They had no relations to Qing Shui and vice versa, yet they could see how hardworking Qing Shui was for these past few days. He would spend most of the day treating Yin Tian, with the exception of his meal times. Feng Xi was aware that they weren’t related to Qing Shui, and despite his inferior strength, she knew that a miraculous physician such as Qing Shui would always be known as a distinguished person wherever he went solely because of his impressive medical skills.
During these few days, Yin Tian and his wife were beginning to become familiarized with the members of the Imperial Cuisine Hall. Qing Shui and the others were considered juniors, so Feng Xi would teach them cultivation whenever she had spare time. Lately, Xue Nuo even called Feng Xi as Aunt Feng. Feng Xi’s guidance was able to push their progress at an amazing speed. Qing Shui was surprised by the result too. It appeared that he had learned a lot of good things, yet didn’t know how to incorporate them well together.
Another half a month had passed. Currently, the Ancient Parasitic Poisonous Insects were completely removed from Yin Tian’s body. After knowing that fact, Yin Tian and Feng Xi let out a sigh of relief. Even Yin Tian himself felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he realized there used to be a threat inside his own body.
Yin Tian could also feel that his body had been completely rid of those poisonous insects. However, his body had been tortured by those poisonous insects to the point where he could describe as extremely damaged. Even if he wanted to recover from that state, he felt that it was near to impossible to do so.
Regardless of whether he could recover or not, he felt quite comfortable without those things inside his body. At the very least, his conditions would not get any worse. If he borrowed some of Qing Shui’s power, he might be able to recover a little. Unconsciously, he began to believe that this young man possessed powers that could be deemed as remarkable.
Yin Tian was emitting a superior air as he laid on his bed. That was the aura of a true powerhouse. Even though he was kind to others, he was still capable of emitting an aura that would cause others to feel uneasy and anxious.
Because of these poisonous insects, his power had decreased significantly. Even if his power had been reduced by quite an amount, it was still at a terrifying level.
“I will perform a Constitution Nurturing for Uncle today, which should heal you considerably. However, the rate of healing will be slower next time.” Qing Shui was already accustomed to calling Yin Tian as Uncle, which was insisted by Feng Xi herself. When everyone had grown close to each other, they followed Xue Nuo and addressed Feng Xi as Aunt Feng too. Qing Shui unintentionally followed suit by addressing them as such as well.
If calling Feng Xi as Aunt Feng was normal, then it would be the same case for him to address Yin Tian as Uncle.
The Constitution Nurturing took quite long this time. Qing Shui also gave Yin Tian some precious medicinal pills to consume. Medicinal pills with stronger effects weren’t advisable for now, due to Yin Tian’s current condition. Constitution Pills and Bone Strengthening Pills would give better results instead.
With Qing Shui’s combination of Constitution Nurturing and Force of Rebirth, it took most of the day for the session to finish. However, the effects were tremendous as there was a significant change in Yin Tian’s situation. If his previous state of injury was rated ten, then his recovery was at most the rate of three.
After Qing Shui retracted his technique, he saw Yin Tian looking back at him with inconceivable gazes. No one understood his situation more than this young man. Never in his dreams would he expect that his body could recover to this state. Moreover, this was his first attempt at doing so.
Looking at the man who had always been calm becoming this excited, Feng Xi was speechless. She only knew that things were beginning to progress to a positive outcome. With a smile, she said, “Don’t rush.”
“I will keep quiet now.” Yin Tian said, laughingly. His words had the tendency to make others laugh.
“Next, your body will slowly heal by itself. I won’t be able to help you during this period of time. Your self-healing will progress for about a month. After that time period, I will once again perform a Constitution Nurturing for Uncle. Once that’s done, your legs should be able to recover to their normal state. When I say ‘normal’, it means an ordinary human kind of normal. I won’t be able to imbue inner force neither as it can only be done after three months.” Qing Shui explained to Yin Tian and Feng Xi after considering the situation for a while.
“That’s great. I now feel that gods above are kind enough to let us meet you at our most difficult times.” Feng Xi said as she enthusiastically pulled Qing Shui’s hand so that he would sit beside her.
Feng Xi was a senior, so it seemed normal for her to act this way. Yin Tian didn’t feel uncomfortable by her gesture whatsoever.
Qing Shui smiled and sat beside Feng Xi while facing Yin Tian in front of him. He smiled and said, “Everyone has become familiar with each other after spending so many days together. You even treated my children as your juniors, so make yourself at home. This is within the scope of my capability, and this is the fate between Uncle, Aunt Feng and I. To be able to meet each other in this vast world and develop a relationship with each other, this is fate. Since we are destined to meet, we should cherish each other more.”
“That’s right. It seems like fate is the only answer to this. Otherwise, I don’t know what else to say, really.”
“There are fates that come with good fortunes and fates that bring about tragedies. Enemies fall into the latter category. How can one become enemies with others in such a vast world?” Feng Xi looked at Qing Shui and chuckled.
During some of their conversations, Qing Shui would occasionally ask them things in relation to themselves. They were from the Divine Moon Immortal Sect, but they were considered slightly weaker among the others. Immortal Sects have different categories too. Their lives were mostly spent in the deeper parts of the Haohan Continent as that area was surrounded by the vast sea. The civilization in that place was more developed that it was here.
“Aunt Feng and Uncle, you need to rest up for recuperation this month. Nothing will happen to you. By the way, I have to go somewhere and it will take at most one month for me to come back. I’m afraid I have to trouble Aunt Feng to take care of things here in the meantime.” Feng Xi could still understand what Qing Shui wanted to say to them.
“Don’t worry about here. Are your errands dangerous? Do you need help?” Feng Xi asked with concern.
“It’s alright. I’m just going back home for a moment. There’s nothing wrong. I’m still capable of defending myself, you know. At least I can still protect myself from harm.”
The next day, Qing Shui told everyone of his temporary leave to travel back home, and he told them to wait for him in case something happened. If the situation became more dire and serious, then they would have to consult Aunt Feng instead. After Qing Shui guaranteed that he would be back within a month, he then excused himself and went off to prepare for his journey back home.
