Chapter 14 - The Young Lady With Silver Hair [2]

Lucas, healing the body of the young lady who was in despair, swore in the air by himself. Seeing the condition of the lady who was worse than a person in a vegetative state. How could she still survive in this condition?

Lucas knows that this lady can't be healed in a normal way. However, there is only one way, to fix everything she has.

The lady's condition, as not normal, was ridiculous baffling since she was not just covered in injuries, but her passage of energy was messed up.

"I can somewhat know little about the meridians by the books I read at the Lim Family's mansion. But I can't fix this by myself. If only this is a mana circuit like Pearl that caused her condition. Tsk." He swore after initiating a skill to slowly heal her wounds.

"I still need to find the way of this curse. Argh… if I can't… I don't have a choice but to use a spell that would rebirth her body's condition… But I still need to find a way before I decide to use it on her."

Knowing that this was just a stranger, Lucas can't decide whether he should risk his body's condition for this lady. Not just because rebirthing one's body's condition cost an expensive trade from his mana, but also it would damage his plan in the future of reserving his mana for emergency issues.

After hours of spending his time to find a way to fix her meridian, a question always popped up in his mind – What is the reason why her meridian was this condition?

Meridians are the passage of spiritual energy in one's body. And if someone has a messed up meridians, he or she is comparable to a vegetative person.

"I don't have any technique to see her meridian, it was just my eyes' ability but fueled by my third energy. If only I don't hesitate…"

Lucas can somehow see the young lady's body's condition. However, it was limited because he doesn't have any specific technique to see one's meridians. And the only way he could use to check her meridian, even slightest, was to use her eyes' ability that she used to Pearl and fuel it with the third energy, hoping that he can slightly modify the use of it.

He was touched by luck for a moment. That's how he had a small grasp of the lady's meridians.

And more time passed, he started trying some remedy he could think of.

Maneuvering his Qi to the lady's meridian, he still couldn't find the answer he wants.

Thinking about his future, would it be worth it to endanger his condition? However, he can still feel some pity for this lady. If he was late, she might really die from exhaustion.

As he was the most powerful person before coming to this world, he couldn't help but be thoughtful...

The curse… for Lucas... was not just for her meridian to be messed up. But also, for her not to be affected by her own healing capability.

Cultivators have their own healing system improved skyrocket. However, these 3 variables of her current condition were just a product of a devil!

"I can't stay focus! If I was just sure of this! These are just all my theories from the limited knowledge I got from those books. Argh…"

Lucas took a deep breath while his body is focused on the lady's healing. He can somewhat defy the curse rules by his spell, but the meridians' condition, there's only one way to fix it.

With a little hesitation, he smiled awkwardly before finally deciding to endanger his future for this lady. It would really cost him an expensive trade. If his decision was right, this source of abundant spiritual energy would be worth the risk.

"I will take the risk. But I just hope that this lady here turns out to be helpful enough for my cultivation. I will save you from dying, so, don't die!" He cried with his eyes closed, mumbling the chant of the spell he is going to use.

"I will use first my third energy then use my pure mana. I hope the particle of spiritual energy from the third energy would help her condition. I hope I don't pass out on the way. I still have my core partially sealed." He followed before fully activating the spell he was hesitating to use.

Pronouncing every syllable of the whole spell, while vividly printing the magic circle on his mind, more hours were spent on his session of healing her.

He used his third energy to fuel up the spell, also hoping that the spiritual energy in it would benefit her.

This stranger, made him realize that plans don't go well. Slapping him that he must really go with the flow smartly and don't anticipate things like it was all fixed accordingly for him.

After draining his third energy pool, he connected the spell to be fueled by his core. A chunk of his energy was immediately sipped by the spell… making him lightheaded for the whole time.

Lucas pronounced the last piece of the spell and the last symbol in his head. He gasped for the air, feeling lightheadedness skyrocket after almost draining his energies.

He caressed his head when he saw the lady lift his body to sit. Little surprised that she really recovered quickly, it was understandable since he used a spell to rebirth her body's condition.

"Thank you for saving me… If you don't mind, can I ask you how I can pay you back?" He heard her muttering some words.

Lucas tried to shrug off the lightheaded feeling he got. He looked at the lady properly to focus on her and fixed his head to her.

"Don't mind it…" He said before trying to move but he was weak enough to almost fell, luckily, he was caught by the lady.

"Please. Tell me how I can pay you back." She insisted.

Lucas was silent for a moment, registering the lady's offer. "I really don't know."

For a brief moment, they were covered with silence. Lucas also thought that everything was spinning in his perspective. As to know if it was really worth it, Lucas doesn't really know what will make the lady worth it of the trade.

He was like a drunkard looking at a fine lady. His eyes were rolling up and down, couldn't remain still in front of her.

"Then… how about I assist you to ascend to the Upper Heaven?"

… It was as if he got deafened.

Lucas already knew that there are different realms for immortals, strongest cultivators, and individuals who attained godhood.

Did he hear it well?

"What did you say?" He asked in a low tone.

"I will help you to ascend. How about it? After that, my compensation is good. Do you think it's enough?" The young lady asked.

"I don't know… I'm like drunk right now." He mumbled, falling on the lady's shoulder.

"Please…. Let me help you… I'm really sincere in thanking you. You risked your body for my recovery. Even using a lot of time other than the tremendous energy. Even I don't know how you did it, but at least let me help you."

Lucas just stayed still while listening to her words. He was just leaning on the lady, can't even feel embarrassment at the moment!

"Then why are you sure that I risked my life for you? It kind of embarrassing for me that I risked my body for a stranger."

The lady just smiled and patted his head. "I really don't feel anything right now but just gratitude for you. Even I was full of hate earlier, I was lightened by your kindness."

"Okay… Then what's the name of this fine lady that wants to be my companion?"

The lady was filled with hope when he heard it. Her heart finally recovered from despair, if only not for the young man who saved her.

"I am Felicity Zhu. I hope I got to be a help for you." She said with a gleaming eye on her face.

Lucas just nodded, "I am Lucas.. Nice to meet you." He said before finally passing out
