#353 - Did anyone see it?
"Him, alone? All this time?" Even the old blind man's expression changed this time.
"That's right," another person who had been inside the house also nodded in confirmation. "However, Divine Doctor Ding also helped out on the side."
"I didn't help much. The current treatment methods were proposed by him, and he also did it himself. I only used needles and stones to restrict the chaotic flow of true qi scattered in the meridians. But later, Lu Jing told me it wasn't necessary to be so troublesome, so I withdrew the silver needles and just watched over him a little on the side."
Ding Liu paused, then continued, "I also told him that I had some pills that could speed up the recovery of internal energy, asking if he needed some, but he refused."
"Why did he refuse?" the old blind man asked, puzzled.
"He said his internal energy was enough to save people."
Everyone gasped upon hearing this, what arrogance!
You have to know that before, so many of them had only barely managed to keep the green-robed girl alive, but Lu Jing was not only helping the green-robed girl to stay alive, but also helping her to gather and regulate her true qi. This consumption was not ordinary, yet he could withstand it until now.
Moreover, according to Ding Liu, he seemed to be planning to continue circulating his energy until dawn.
Wasn't this internal energy cultivation a bit too outrageous?!
The old blind man had originally been overjoyed to find that Lu Jing's internal energy was profound, but now he was also a little dumbfounded.
He wanted to find a successor with good internal energy to exert the greatest power of his kung fu, but he never thought of finding someone with such good internal energy. With this kind of internal energy cultivation, it felt like he could become quite powerful no matter what he practiced.
When Lu Jing became invincible, everyone wouldn't think it was the credit of his kung fu, but would only remember that Lu Jing's internal energy was too strong.
Thinking of this, the old blind man was troubled again.
However, the others didn't have his sweet troubles, and only discussed Lu Jing's terrifying internal energy cultivation. Then, Ding Liu seemed to have thought of something again, and slapped his head.
"Oh, right, everyone can go back after eating later. Just leave two people here to watch over in case of an emergency."
"This old man will stay," the old blind man said.
"And me." The Gambling Ghost now knew why he had lost, but he still didn't believe that Lu Jing's internal energy cultivation could reach this level, so he wanted to stay and see for himself.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble the two of you," Ding Liu nodded. Then, someone finally took the two tables from the ox cart, along with the already cold wine and dishes.
Originally, these dishes were prepared for dinner, but now everyone had to eat a late-night snack instead.
Fortunately, although it was a little cold, the taste was still quite palatable. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the paper figures dispersed, leaving only the old blind man and the Gambling Ghost outside the house.
Ding Liu went into the house and examined the green-robed girl's meridians again, finding that most of her internal energy had been gathered, and her pulse had also become stronger, so he was relieved a lot.
After that, perhaps because he was old, and had been busy all day, consuming a lot of energy, he felt sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer. So, he told Lu Jing that if there were any emergencies, he could call the bamboo cane man and the Gambling Ghost outside to help.
Then, he went back to the inner room to sleep.
Lu Jing spent another hour or so, and finally gathered about seventy to eighty percent of the internal energy in the green-robed girl's meridians.
In the process, the strange poison in the latter's body was also basically devoured, leaving only a small part that had invaded the heart meridian, and this part was the most stubborn and troublesome.
Lu Jing was considering how to guide the internal energy in her dantian to the heart meridian when suddenly a tremor came from the palm of his hand, and then he heard a soft moan from the girl.
"You're awake? Don't think too much, first circulate your energy to dissolve the toxins in the heart meridian," Lu Jing said in a deep voice.
The green-robed girl had just woken up, her consciousness was still a little blurry, but hearing the familiar voice, she subconsciously began to circulate her energy as he said.
If it were someone else here, they would have been dead for sure from the moment the poison entered the heart meridian.
However, the Myriad Poisons Convergence that the green-robed girl cultivated was a unique skill that relied on absorbing various poisons to improve her cultivation. Once she regained consciousness and circulated the Myriad Poisons Convergence's mental cultivation method, she could gradually absorb the toxins from the heart meridian.
Of course, the premise was that there was an internal energy expert here to keep her alive during this period.
As more and more toxins were absorbed, the green-robed girl gradually escaped the torment of severe pain and began to think again.
She already knew that the person behind her was Lu Jing, but she hadn't been able to recognize where she was now. After being attacked by the poison, she was in so much pain that she couldn't remember anything else, and only thought that Lu Jing, who had come to find her, had accidentally run into her and brought her back to his residence to heal her.
This made her feel somewhat complicated.
After a moment, she opened her mouth and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Did anyone see?"
"What, did anyone see?"
"Did you run into anyone else on the way back?" the green-robed girl continued, "Since you know where I come from, you should also know how sensitive my identity is, and most of the disciples of the academy are righteous people. If they see you with me, it may be detrimental to your reputation if it spreads out."
"It's Divine Doctor Ding's," Lu Jing said, "The poison entered your heart meridian, and you were about to lose your life. Fortunately, you were discovered and sent to Divine Doctor Ding's place, where he took timely action. Then, the Little Marquis also found experts in the valley to help you stay alive with internal energy relay. Otherwise, you would have died long before I arrived, so you should thank them first."
As a result, the green-robed girl fell silent again after he finished speaking.
Lu Jing could feel that her emotions were fluctuating greatly. Then, her body suddenly struggled, wanting to leave Lu Jing's palm.
"What are you doing? Do you not want to live? There are still toxins in your heart meridian. If I let go, you will surely die," Lu Jing frowned.
"Then let me die," the green-robed girl said in a trembling voice, "Do you know where Ding Liu is from?"
"Where?"
"Apricot Grove Gate."
Lu Jing had heard of this sect from Zhang Sanfeng. Actually, strictly speaking, Apricot Grove Gate was not considered a sect, but a loose alliance created by a group of doctors with martial arts skills to facilitate mutual care and assistance.
Perhaps because learning medicine and using poison were inherently incompatible, Apricot Grove Gate had never gotten along well with Myriad Poisons Valley since its establishment, but its relationship with the righteous sects was good.
It was said that Apricot Grove Gate had also contributed a lot to the destruction of Myriad Poisons Valley. Then, the green-robed girl continued, "You said that the experts in the valley also came to help me stay alive. Do you know how many righteous people are among them? I have an irreconcilable hatred with the sects behind them. If I receive this favor, how can I avenge my parents, relatives, and fellow disciples in the future?!"
