: : Blessing in Disguise

Sun Jinfang looked at the still unconscious Du Sha with a complex expression, and explained to Tang Luo: “Mr. Du Sha defended himself with his Dharma Body using Spiritual Power. First, he was severely injured, then he exhausted his soul power to explode with a secret technique. Normally, a martial artist’s soul would have perished from being drained in such a way, but Mr. Du Sha’s soul is exceptionally resilient, merely on the verge of extinguishment. I originally thought that if his soul was placed in God’s Residence for restoration, he would fully recover. Unexpectedly, not only is there no sign of improvement, but he is becoming weaker and weaker. It seems that he overdrafted himself too severely. As for the current plan, only by using the hundred-year-old Eternal Life Flower as a guide, and bathing him in a medicinal bath for forty-nine days, would he fully recover, without recurring illness.”

Hearing Sun Jinfang’s explanation, Du Ting and Du Wei were still puzzled, as they simply couldn’t see what was so complex about this matter. It was just a medicinal bath using spirit herbs and treasures; even if the Du Family couldn’t afford the other spirit medicines and treasures, couldn’t the wealthy Tang Clan provide them?

“May I ask, Master Sun, where does the complexity lie?” Tang Luo was also confused. Although he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about spirit herbs, he was aware that the Eternal Life Flower was a common treasure, being the main ingredient of the Longevity Pill. As for all the family matriarchs, especially women who don’t practice martial arts, maintaining their attraction to the family head was almost the most important method to sustain their status at home.

This was a scarce commodity, but consuming the Longevity Pill didn’t mean eternal youth. The effects would wear off after three to five years, but matriarchs who had tasted the Longevity Pill would almost always order again. As a result, even though this pill, which was not particularly useful, would still cost up to three million gold, it was still in high demand.

Tang Luo really didn’t understand what was complicated about needing such a popular ingredient.

Sun Jinfang shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Everyone knows that the Eternal Life Flower is the main ingredient of the Longevity Pill, but they forget that it was originally used to create a calming fragrance. The older the Eternal Life Flower, the stronger its effect. However, all the Eternal Life Flowers in the world today are used to make Longevity Pills, which can’t be more than twenty years old. If we could go to Kunwu County now, we could purchase a hundred-year-old Eternal Life Flower from the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion. However, Kunwu County is tens of thousands of miles from Xiling. Even if we used immortal birds, it would take several days round trip. Mr. Du Sha’s injury cannot afford to wait another day or two, in fear it will turn into a latent disease, damaging his martial arts foundation. With his current physical condition, it’s impossible for him to travel. That’s the complexity of the situation.”

At this point, the others finally understood. The faces of Du Ting and Du Wei had completely darkened. Undoubtedly, after the Du family’s infertility issue was resolved, Du Sha’s survival became paramount.

Because their practice of the Red Cloud Skill has already confirmed their limited lifespan, the Du family will need strong support while waiting for new forces to grow, and only Du Sha can provide that.

So when they heard that the issue with the Eternal Life Flower might affect Du Sha’s martial arts foundation, the two felt a wrenching pain.

“Aside from the Eternal Life Flower, is there no other substitute?” At this critical moment, Tang Luo maintained his calm and sternly asked Sun Jinfang.

Sun Jinfang shook his head with a complex expression and sighed, “Naturally, there are other medicinal baths, but they will all leave some residual diseases. Although they won’t damage the martial arts foundation, they will affect the soul. Elders of the Du family are Du Sha’s superiors, the decision is up to you.”

Some injuries can’t be neglected, especially those that prevent martial artists from staying conscious; for martial artists in the Fierce Realm, unconsciousness means a complete loss of consciousness and an incredibly weak soul; random movements disappearing, almost no response to external stimuli, and being able to maintain breathing and heartbeat solely relying on the constant flow of Spiritual Power within the body, as a lifeline.

The condition seems stable, but it could suddenly worsen. If unconscious for too long, the martial artist might never wake up, so a quick decision needs to be made.

Honestly, when he heard there were alternative plans, Du Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to having his martial arts foundation reduced, if it only somewhat affected his soul, it wouldn’t have too much of an impact on a martial artist’s strength. It was hard to certify King Realm, but the Du Family’s Red Cloud Skill didn’t have a way to spiritualize the body anyway. So it seemed that opting for an alternative method was currently the best choice.

Just as Du Ting was about to speak, he heard Tang Luo wave his hand lightly and said: “Wait.”

This stop made the two elders of the Du family flinch, not knowing what Tang Luo intended to do. Even if they didn’t like Du Sha’s upright character, they still considered him the most important person in the Du Family and he must not be lost.

While the two were guessing and doubting, they heard Tang Luo continue to ask Sun Jinfang, “Master Sun said that the longer the Eternal Life Flower matures, the stronger its efficacy. I wonder what impact a thousand-year-level Eternal Life Flower would have on Mr. Du Sha’s injuries?”

Perhaps for Du Ting and his companion, Du Sha is just the Du Family’s escort, but for Tang Luo, Du Sha is the first Marshal Star of his Marshal Star Pavilion and where his soul resides.Text © 2024 .

Today, Du Sha showed that he has lived up to his expectations. With no secret technique to enhance him, only the fusion of Red Cloud Skill and bloodline power, he still delivered a stunning performance.

Unless there are no other options, how would he allow Du Ting and the others to accept Sun Jinfang’s conservative treatment for such an extraordinary potential powerhouse.

The Tang Clan actually has a thousand-year-level Eternal Life Flower?” Sun Jinfang was shocked. Not all spirit medicines and treasures were better the older they got. In a lot of cases, there was little difference in efficacy between a twenty-year-old and a two hundred-year-old spirit medicine or treasure. But the Eternal Life Flower is too extraordinary if it could grow for a thousand years. If such a godly herb was used to make incense, it could not only calm the spirit, but also resist external heart demons.

How could such a divine object affect injuries? Sun Jinfang excitedly answered: “How could it have any effect, if we had thousand-year-old maturity plants, why would we need forty-nine days, at most only seven days. It would not only restore Mr. Du Sha’s soul to its original state, but also consolidate his body and soul, making his soul even more tenacious, turning misfortune into a blessing!”

Being overly excited for a moment, he accidentally mentioned the most optimal treatment in his mind. However, when he thought about it again, even if the Tang Clan were loaded, they would have at most one plant of a thousand-year-old spirit medicine. Even if they had seven Eternal Life Flowers, why would they use them to save an outsider martial artist?

Discarding his unrealistic expectation, Sun Jinfang calmed down and amended, “It’s not necessarily seven flowers of a thousand-year maturity. As long as there is one thousand-year-old Eternal Life Flower mixed with forty-eight common mature ones, I can make a medicinal solution. The effect will be the same.”

The three of them stared intensely at the thoughtful Tang Luo, who after some contemplation, replied: “There’s no need for the common ones, just use seven Eternal Life Flowers, strive to restore Mr. Du Sha to the best possible condition.”
