Chapter 150 - Helping Hei Yingjie
Lin Mu sat down beside Hei Yingjie and placed his hands on his heart and abdomen. The man who had chosen to help him first sat behind him and put his hands on his back with palms wide open.
"I’m starting, be ready." Lin Mu spoke one last time before starting.
"As you command, senior." The man replied and focused.
Lin Mu guided out the spirit qi wisps from his dantian and channeled it through his meridians and out into his hands. He then pushed the spirit qi into Hei Yingjie’s body and followed the method that senior Xukong had taught him.
Lin Mu was also observing Hei Yingjie closely with the help of his spirit sense. He wanted to ensure that he wouldn’t miss something and make a mistake. Soon his spirit qi started to flow through Hei Yingjie’s meridians and merged with his own raging spirit qi.
Lin Mu felt pressure on himself as his spirit qi started merging with Hei Yingjie. His spirit qi was very strong and threatened to destroy his. Lin Mu had to put all his focus into it by chanting the severing heart sutra.
With great difficulty, Lin Mu was able to complete one cycle of circulation. But even then he could not see any difference in Hei Yingjie’s condition. His spirit qi was still ranging and damaging his meridians.
"Don’t stop and continue doing it. He’s at a higher cultivation realm than you, so it will take a while for his body to respond." Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu silently nodded and repeated the same process. He would pour his spirit qi into Hei Yingjie’s meridians and tried to slow down the raging spirit qi. For over ten cycles, Lin Mu did not see any results or a difference in Hei Yingjie’s condition.
But when he completed another twenty cycles, he finally saw the difference. The ranging spirit qi had finally slowed down by a tiny fraction.
~Huuuu~
Lin Mu let out a breath and lifted his hands from Hei Yingjie’s body. He was no longer grunting in pain, and the color of his face had returned to normal. Lin Mu did another check and observed his internal condition. While the qi deviation had been alleviated to a certain extent, it was still not completely gone.
For the rest, they would have to leave it up to Hei Yingjie. His internal injuries were still present and would need some more time before they could be healed. Though the injuries that he had on his skin had now completely healed as a result of Lin Mu’s help.
The members of the Hei corps that had been supporting him all this while were barely holding themselves together. When the person that was currently supporting Lin Mu saw that he had lifted his hands from Hei Yingjie’s body, he knew that they were done.
"It’s fine now, we have done all we could. The rest is up to him." Lin Mu spoke as he stood up.
Lin Mu left the tent and stretched his body. He had been sitting in the same position for a long time thus felt as if his body was all tensed up and there were knots in his muscles. Even with his eleventh stage body tempering realm physique, it was still harrowing for him to do such a task.
Lin Mu had effectively used the equivalent of the spirit qi of four hundred qi refining realm cultivators. With eight people rotating in shifts for a total of over fifty rotations, the qi that he had used in this night was the most he had ever used.
Lin Mu wanted nothing more than to sleep now and that’s what he had decided to do. The other members of the team had seen him the instant he had walked out of the tent, thus understood that they were now done. Lin Mu looked around and saw that most of them were recuperating their spirit qi and were sitting cross-legged in a meditative pose.
~Sigh~
Lin Mu let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead and thought for a bit.
"I’ll go to sleep now. Inform me if anything happens." Lin Mu spoke and entered his tent.
He withdrew the soft white bolster from his ring and put it down on the bedroll before he fell asleep.
