Heartless Phoenix Queen - C234

Helian could be considered to be lucky. Even if a person fainted, he would still be able to soak in this natural hot spring water of about 40 degrees Celsius. Zi Yuan had once wanted to search for the underground hot spring in the vicinity of the palace, but the location of the Northern Yue City had decided that there was no underground hot spring there.

When the pool was almost full, the old man pulled the lid off the drain. Previously, the problem was that the rate at which the water flowed in and out of the water couldn’t be controlled very well. The water flowed out too quickly, so once the lid was removed, the water flowed out. He didn’t want to fail again. Of course, if he failed again, he would not hesitate to try again.

After the drain lid was removed, the speed of the water did not change. The water in the pool began to flow outwards, and gradually, the rising water surface began to slowly retreat. After two incense sticks of time, the water surface was basically the same as before.

The old man jumped up happily, “I succeeded! I did it! ” he shouted and jumped, excited as a child.

The old granny looked dotingly at her wife. Suddenly, she seemed to wake up from a dream and discovered that Helian’s skin had already turned red. “Ah! Old man, this child has been soaking in water for too long!”

So they fished him out of the water and cleaned him, and, having no suitable clothes to replace him in, put him on a stone bed with a soft, thick wool blanket, and covered him with a cup.

The little old man wiped off his sweat, then grabbed Helian’s right wrist and closed his eyes.

The old woman silently retreated to the side, gathered up her incense, and took several small silver suspenders and jars of medicine of varying sizes from the storage cabinet. She then boiled some hot water, took a teaspoon of tea from the tea pot, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and carried the tray to the old man’s side. In the entire process, her movements were very similar to the frequency. It was neither fast nor slow, and it was extremely graceful, giving off the temperament of a noble woman.

The little old man let go of Helian’s right wrist and put his hand under the blanket. The monkey hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a gulp.

The old granny could not help but pout coquettishly, “You’re already so old, and yet you’re still so impatient. It’s alright if you drink slowly.”

“Sigh …” The old man sighed.

The old granny frowned and asked worriedly, “Is this child in a bad condition?”

“I, Xue Mingrui, have lived for over eighty years, and this is the first time I’ve seen my veins injured to this extent. If it weren’t for the support of my will, I would have died long ago …” The little old man sighed endlessly.

“Since this child has such a strong will to survive, then you have to save him even more.” The old granny placed the tea tray on the table and poured herself a bowl of tea as well. However, when she was drinking tea, her left hand gently held the bottom of the bowl while her right hand held the edge of the small teacup. She brought it to her mouth and gently took a sip. Her appearance was extremely elegant and dignified.

“That’s for sure!” The old man said firmly.

After that, the old man went to the workbench that the old granny had prepared, grabbed a few silver bars, and ran to his huge medicine cabinet.

The old man’s medicine cabinets were all made from wood in the mountains with his own hands. The current pattern was that there were 2000 boxes, each filled with one type of medicine. However, he did not comment on any of the boxes. However, at this moment, he quickly pulled open the cabinet to retrieve the medicine. This was because he was extremely familiar with the locations of the nearly two thousand types of medicines that he had stored.

He quickly took a few pills and put them in a silver sling. Then he found a few pills and placed the other one in the silver sling. The old man returned to the workbench after the silver crane was filled with herbs. At this moment, the old granny had already helped him to light the fires on the few small stoves.

The little old man gave the old granny a grateful look, then went to the water bucket to scoop up some water. He poured it into the silver sling one by one, and then placed it on top of the small stove. Then he took a small fan and began to fan the stove with his grandmother.

“How on earth did this child’s tendons break?” the old woman asked the little old man.

The old man smirked and snorted, “I thought such a magical art would never appear again in this world. I never thought that there would actually be a successor. It seems that senior has gone back on his word.”

“Ah …” It’s senior apprentice-brother’s! ” The old granny covered her mouth, her eyes revealing a look of disbelief.

“That’s right, although this godly art is very powerful, it has been training for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that the mind is simple and honest, the good nature of a person would have gradually disappeared after training to the thirteenth stage.” That’s right, this godly art is very powerful, but after training for a long time, if it isn’t for the fact that the mind of a simple and honest man will gradually lose his good nature after training to the thirteenth stage.

The divine art the couple were discussing was actually the “Heavenly Arts Treasure Book” that Murong Xiu was currently cultivating and had passed down the first few steps of the cultivation process to him. The name “Heavenly Art” was changed by senior brother Xue Mingrui. The name of this godly technique was originally “Ghost Bone Divine Art”. Xue Mingrui’s senior brother was a fanatic of traps, and Xue Mingrui could actually be considered a fanatic as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Wen Quan to his residence. Actually, he didn’t go back on his word. After all, back then, he had gotten a strange illness and asked Xue Mingrui to treat it. He promised Xue Mingrui that he wouldn’t accept a disciple in his entire life, but in reality, he had indeed never accepted a disciple. He only left behind the《 Heavenly Arts》 book. He did not expect that in a few decades, someone would obtain this book, train in this martial arts, and use his mechanisms for military operations.

“Actually, the quality of this child’s body is still very good. With how severely injured he is, it can be seen how serious the attack of the person who knows the Ghost Bone Divine Art must have been …” The old man could not help but sigh with emotion. He used gauze to filter out the medicinal liquid from the boiling silver rod and asked his wife to feed it to Helian Lie for him to drink.

But when the soup got into his mouth, it flowed down the corner of his mouth. The little old man went over and asked his wife to help him up. He then pressed his lips against Helian’s lower jaw, and Helian’s mouth opened. When the medicinal juice was poured into his mouth, the little old man patted his shoulder again and Helian’s throat moved. The medicinal juice from his mouth flowed into Helian’s stomach.

The old man didn’t feed the rest of the medicine in the silver sling to Helian. Instead, he mixed the broth together with two other ingredients before placing them in a jar and boiling them slowly.

That night, the entire cave was filled with the fragrance of medicine. In the morning, when the sun rose, there was only a small teacup of medicinal juice left in the pot. Thus, the little old man did the same thing as before. After he placed the medicinal juice into Helian Lie’s stomach, he sat cross-legged behind Helian Lie.

The old granny was already holding a silver needle in her hands. She was always very cooperative with the little old man’s actions. Before the little old man could even say anything, she had already thought of what he was going to do next. The reason she was able to do this was because she knew the little old man too well.

The little old man drew the right needles from the silver needle bag in his wife’s hand and stuck them one by one in his back. A packet of silver needles was quickly filled up. Then, the old man closed his eyes and started to channel his energy.

The reason he did this was because his martial arts practice was called “Pure Yuan Palm”. The accumulated inner strength was the cleanest inner strength in the world. It could interact with medicine to increase the effect of medicine. Right now, he wanted to circulate his inner force and let the medicine fed into Helian’s stomach follow the guidance of his inner force to repair Helian’s broken veins and tendons.

Helian felt as if he had had a very, very long dream. He dreamt that in the fairyland, he met a white-bearded old Daoist Immortals and a white-haired old Daoist Immortals. They fed him a transparent fruit, and after he ate it, he saw his veins bulging green, but in many places they were gray and black.

The old immortal grandpa told Helian Lie that the gray and black places were where his meridians were broken. Then, the Daoist Immortal passed him a black fruit. He ate it again, and then he saw his veins begin to turn red, then transparent, almost all of them changing colors, then transparent again to yellow, and finally to a glittering gold! The golden tendons gradually became thicker, from the shape of very thin golden lines. The golden light shined, covering the grey areas, and the golden light continued to shine, swallowing the black areas.

He saw that his tendons were getting thicker and thicker, and he felt that his body was extremely uncomfortable, as if it was about to explode. He felt as if something was about to explode from the inside of his body.

At this time, the golden light began to change into a rainbow of colors, and the very thick tendons and veins began to slowly become thinner as the seven colors changed. When its thickness had changed to a suitable level, the rainbow-colored light disappeared. Helian saw that the tendons and veins all over his body were golden in color. Moreover, the thickness of his muscles and veins were thicker than the ones he saw at the beginning. However, this degree of thickness did not make him uncomfortable.

He was surprised. He was about to thank the old deities when he heard someone touching his nose with something furry and it made him sick. He opened his eyes wide, realizing that the one scratching his nose was a squirrel! The squirrel ran away with a squeak when it saw him wake up. He stood up and looked around. There was no one in the cave.

He recalled what happened before and moved his arm. He realized that it was much easier to move his body. He tried to circulate his true energy and found that his meridians had already been connected!

He realized that although his dream was a bit absurd, it was indeed the result of the reality before his eyes: that old deity had healed his tendons and reconstructed them. Right now, his muscles and veins were firmer than before.

However, Helian was astonished. Why was there not a single person in the cave?

He got out of bed and walked to the cave entrance. He noticed that the weather outside was very good. The sky was a deep blue, without a single cloud. He shaded his eyes from the sun and looked out.

He saw the white-haired old lady washing her clothes by the stream not far away. The little old man was by her side, helping her to help him. The two of them didn’t look like a young couple, but they were very harmonious. People couldn’t help but be envious of the old couple’s love.

Helian Lie thought of the Violet Garden. When he thought of how the Violet Garden might have been harmed by another woman because she didn’t know that his valley was under the control of a bewitching drug, he felt a pang in his heart.
