Chapter 799

799 14.75 Last Violet Star – Brothers’ Circumstances

Jin Shiyan’s wounded meridians were completely healed by Hei Anjing. He can now feel the qi flowing through his entire body once more. Jin Shiyan was sufficiently moved by this comforting sensation. He is currently half-cured. He’d become a cultivator once his damaged Jindan (Golden Core) was fixed.

Jin Shiyan, who was dressed in fresh, spotless golden robes, was sincerely appreciative of how his brother-in-law had been treated. A heavenly physician may repair even a damaged meridian in a single day, as would be expected. His medical knowledge is unmatched.

“How are you feeling, Jin Shiyan?” Hei Anjing inquired after evaluating his present condition.

Jin Shiyan responded, his excitement clearly visible on his face, “I feel better than before brother. Now I can sense qi in my body again. It’s been years since I last felt this energetic!”

In addition to him, Bai Lili is overjoyed for her husband. She saw that although he tried his best to smile at her and their son ever since they were reunited a few days ago, he would occasionally slip into a depressive state. That was very difficult to ignore, but Bai Lili knows that her husband is struggling to remain mortal for a man who was once very proud of himself as a cultivator before he fell into that damaged state.

Particularly, when he observes elders and young disciples practicing their weapons and flying every day in this sect. She was aware that, despite Jin Shiyan’s outward appearance of happiness and contentment, he secretly yearned for his former self, which his own half-brother had forcibly seized from him.

How joyful she was a few years ago when her parents and the other individuals who had passed away due to her Dear Brother had all been brought back to life and returned to their respective homes. But even after personally checking at the Jin Clan, who would have believed that her spouse wasn’t one among those who survived?

She doesn’t think her Dear Brother would overlook adding her husband to the list of returnees. She had to work really hard to care for their son on her own because no one would even remotely believe her after years of such disappointment. She was grateful for the assistance from her second brother and family. They shielded her from the Jin Clan’s plots, and she went back to her first family to bring Jin Yanli over in order to protect her kid.

She had already come to terms with the possibility that her husband wouldn’t indeed be able to come home after all these years after repeating the days of her routine life. Her son and the businesses her husband had left for them came to the forefront for her as if wanting to forget the reality before her.

.....

Who would have thought that after all these years, her Dear Brother would return? The only unpleasant thing is that he seems to be emotionless and lacks any recollection of his previous incarnation. She believed everything her second brother had said when he showed her a recording of their older brother’s current state.

The news of his return thrilled the entire Bai Family, but they were aware that they couldn’t coerce him into recognizing anyone. Thus, not even her second brother, Bai Qiyin, intervened when Chun Hongyun-Jun took her Dear brother to his own sect. After all, Chun Hongyun-Jun is her Dear Brother’s chosen Dao Companion. Since Bai Wuan was so young when he passed away, they haven’t yet finished a Dao Ceremony, but everyone in the Cultivation has accepted them as a pair.

Bai Lili was overjoyed to learn that her beloved brother was returning. But who would have thought that after visiting the Lan Zhuayan Sect, she would experience more surprises? When she, her second brother, and her son arrived at the Lan Zhuayan Sect, she was astonished to see Jin Shiyan. She initially disputed the reality that was right in front of her eyes, and it wasn’t until Jin Shiyan hugged her that she understood she wasn’t dreaming and that her husband, who had previously been dead, was now standing before her. She couldn’t help but cry at that precise moment. She, at last, acquired what she had wished for so long. Her family is complete once more.

“Dear Brother, would there be any difficulties in mending Brother Yan’s Jindan (Golden Core)?” questioned Bai Lili to her brother.

Hei Anjing responded, “No problem. I assure you I can fix it to how it is supposed to look generally. But if I do it alone, the procedure would take a full month, and this brat would simply not be able to wait that long.”

“Dage, I swear I’ll continue no matter how long the treatment is,” said Jin Shiyan.

Scoffed, Hei Anjing replied, “Just don’t forget to follow my directions carefully. Even if you don’t bear it, there is no way I would allow my treatment to go wrong.”

When he heard his brother-in-law’s words Jin Shiyan appeared like a boy who had been chastised.

When his wife first emerged in the backyard a few hours ago, he knew he had seen him plead for assistance, and he could only hang his head in shame.

Hei Anjing said, “I can tell you now so you can prepare for it. The pain would be ten times what you experienced today and you are not allowed to lose consciousness at all or the qi that supports your golden core would be gone and it ultimately breaks your Jindan. The process to repair your Jindan needs to be done without anyone hindering me including yourself. So your limbs would be sealed during the treatment.”

“Lili wouldn’t have the heart to slap you when you are in agony after all, since anesthetic cannot be utilized in this procedure, so let’s call Qiqi or Elder brother Yun here and ask him to slap you awake every time you feel like dozing.”

Jin Shiyan’s mental picture of his treatment scene was sparked by Hei Anjing’s statements. His brother-in-law and his husband would operate on him while his legs and arms were chained.

Without an anesthetic, the discomfort would be completely wholesome. Even Bai Lili became concerned after learning about the procedure for fixing a golden core.

Bai Lili asked, “Dear Brother, why can’t anesthesia be used?”

Hei Anjing stated, “If I use anesthesia he wouldn’t even know where his qi would flow and that would be more dangerous. He needs to run his qi all over his body to let me see where his golden core is located. In addition, the qi must connect and secure the flows of qi from his meridians to his core. If that isn’t achieved then it cannot be said the operation is complete and possible sequelae might happen in the future.”

Mo Bing Jingling-Jun provided a thorough explanation, and the married couple quickly realized the risks involved in the procedure. Accidents during the no-anesthesia operation are risky to perform, even when a Divine Doctor like Hei Anjing performs it.

Jin Shiyan’s eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, and Hei Anjing saw it and said, “Your mind is not stable. We will move the operation 3 days from now. Calm down and prepare yourself. You wanted to get what is rightfully yours right? Your opponent is a scheming man who has lied to the entire cultivation world. He was so dexterous that even Elder Brother Yun and A’Xia didn’t notice he was hiding you. If three days isn’t enough to think about, just call me if you are ready. There is one thing I can assure you of. You agree to this treatment. I will make sure to cure you!”

Hei Anjing left after making these remarks. The information regarding the final procedure of Jin Shiyan’s treatment dampened the jubilant occasion of the meridians being cured. The couple was aware that Hei Anjing never held back when speaking the truth. So when they heard him claim that his treatment outcome is guaranteed as long as he agrees to the treatment, they knew he would absolutely be true to his word.

Nevertheless, the couple made the decision to get Jin Shiyan mentally ready for the suffering he would have to go through first. Hei Anjing also must ask his husband and other people for assistance.

In the meantime, word of Jin Shiyan’s injured meridians’ recuperation had reached the realm of cultivation. Numerous seniors and disciples have unresolved ailments and diseases, but they lack the wherewithal to approach someone of Hei Anjing’s stature to request that they be treated. Therefore, they had no choice but to throng to the Lan Zhuayan Sect’s main peak and beg several elders and even the old sect leader to speak for them.

The most persistent rumor at the time was that Jin Shiyan was still alive.

“Hey, did you know that Young Master Jin is reportedly still alive?”

“Yes! I also heard about it. They say he was taken by a Demonic Cultivator. He was saved by Mo Bing Jingling-Jun and Chun Hongyun-Jun in the Death Valley.”

“Does this imply that he was held captive by the Demonic Cultivators yet had been alive the entire time?”

“He is no longer a cultivator, according to what I heard; those cretins broke his Jindan (Golden center) and ruined his meridians.”

“He was formerly among the most well-liked young masters in the Cultivation circle, very tragic.”

“Since Young Master Jin is the true heir to the Jin Tiangui Sect, would Sect Master Jin be replaced now that he is back?”

“No one from the Jin Tiangui Sect would be able to accept it, they said. “Nah, isn’t he seriously hurt and is now no different as a mortal? How could he become a Sect Master as an ordinary human?”

“But since Lord Hei is a Divine Doctor and he was able to heal his damaged meridians, doesn’t this imply that the cracked golden core can also be fixed?”

“Stop kidding! Is there even someone in the world who is capable of repairing a shattered Jindan?! I don’t think that someone is capable of repairing a broken Jindan!”

“How could a Divine Doctor like Mo Bing Jingling-Jun fail? What is this fool talking about?”

Each city experiences an increase in rumors, which only continue to grow in exaggeration over time.

Somewhere in the Jin Tiangui Sect...

The majority of the items in Jin Baihua’s place were scattered over the home’s courtyard.

The inside of his apartment looks like a storm ripped through it. He was even sweating as he made an effort to control his rage. He... similar to how other beings in this dimension were aware of how Hei Anjing had cured his older half-brother, Jin Shiyan.

Like most people, Jin Baihua didn’t imagine that anyone in the world could harm meridians and fix a damaged Jindan (Golden Core). For some medical practitioners, these two situations are regarded to be grave cases. He had always despised his older half-brother for being so sympathetic to him while ignoring his hardships in the clan. As a result, when he captured him that day, he intended to subject him to the most agonizing experience a cultivator can go through-becoming a mortal.

Most people in the human race would have had contempt for mortals if they had experienced power and strength like cultivators. They are frail and delicate, and even a small shove could harm them. These common people view cultivators as gods since they are much stronger than mortals.

Would someone who is naturally powerful be able to accept the fact that they suffer a fatal injury and turn into a mortal? That is not much different from being in hell for the majority of cultivators.

Jin Baihua wished for his brother to experience that. He wanted him to go through his darkest times. When the powerful wanted something but couldn’t get it, he had to crouch down and beg.

He desired to witness Jin Shiyan’s prior humility.

“Do you regret turning a blind eye to my hardships, brother? Look, brother! I am now a prominent Sect Master while you on the other hand are nothing but an ordinary mortal now.”

Jin Baihua wished to ask Jin Shiyan, who had turned mortal, this question. But how is it possible for him to assume that someone like Lord Hei exists? An all-powerful divine physician who is capable of curing the majority of diseases and wounds.

Jin Baihua sighs, “I should have just killed him when I got the chance,” regretting his decision.
