Chapter 33: Healing
Upon hearing Li Mochou's voice, Granny Sun's face showed a resolute expression. She gave Xiaolongnu one last deep look before turning and rushing towards Li Mochou.
"Young hero, please hurry, I'm entrusting this young lady to you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin wanted to chase after her, but suddenly felt the little dragon girl in his arms move slightly. He turned his head and saw that the little dragon girl's face was as pale as paper and her breath was barely a whisper, indicating that she was seriously injured.
If he doesn't receive immediate treatment, he might not be able to hold on.
Damn it, Li Mochou's attack was so ruthless.
Cursing under his breath, Qian Jin prepared to take Xiaolongnu away from the ancient tomb and find a suitable place to heal her wounds.
But as soon as she turned around, she saw Xiaolongnu pointing to a room next to her.
Qian Jin understood and immediately led Xiaolongnu inside, then set down the mechanism.
Guided by Xiaolongnu, Qian Jin passed through three more secret chambers before finally hearing Xiaolongnu whisper in his ear:
"Young Master Qian, this secret room is very well hidden. It wasn't easy for my senior sister to find it. Let's rest here for a while."
After saying that, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
However, the blood contained a hint of black, indicating that the poisoning was severe.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin quickly helped Xiaolongnu to the stone bed beside him. During the process, he felt that Xiaolongnu was limp all over and had no strength at all.
"Miss Long, don't worry, I'll heal your wounds right away."
After saying that, he reached out and pressed on Xiaolongnu's lower abdomen, channeling a wisp of powerful internal energy into her body.
Qian Jin has now cultivated the Nine Yin Manual to its highest level, so he is quite skilled at healing.
After a short while, Xiaolongnu showed some improvement.
She glanced sideways at Qian Jin, who was working tirelessly, and said:
"Young Master Qian, there's no need to waste any more of your inner strength."
When I was practicing martial arts, my senior sister ambushed me, damaging all my meridians. Later, I was hit by her Five Poison Palm. Even if a god came, he couldn't save me.
Inside this ancient tomb, there is a coffin left to me by my master. After I rest for a while, you can take me there and put me in the coffin. Then you can leave, young hero.
My senior sister has no grudge against you, young hero, and she shouldn't make things difficult for you.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"Miss Long, please don't talk nonsense. I just promised Granny Sun that I would not only save your life, but also take care of you for the rest of my life."
"Grandma Sun was unaware of my injuries, which is why she wanted to entrust me to you. Young hero, you don't need to worry about it."
"How can that be?"
"I, Qian Jin, am a man of my word; what I promise, I must do."
Seeing Qian Jin's stubbornness, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but recall the scene outside the ancient tomb where Qian Jin fought against a group of bandits all by himself.
He was so stubborn back then, and I never imagined that after so many years, he would still be just as stubborn.
So he said:
"Alright! Since you value your promise so much, I won't insist."
However, my injuries are so severe this time that I certainly won't live much longer. In a little while, you will take me to my coffin and watch me die; that will fulfill your promise to take care of me for the rest of your life.
Seeing that Xiaolongnu was so indifferent to life and death, Qian Jin couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Long, you speak so casually, are you really not afraid of death at all?"
"Life and death are predestined. Even if you're afraid, you'll still die. Instead of worrying about things you can't change, it's better to face them calmly."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"For someone as young as Miss Long to have such a mindset, Qian Jin truly admires her."
However, in my opinion, watching you die wouldn't be enough for a lifetime, so today, I am determined to heal you.
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said:
"Young Master Qian, why be so stubborn? My meridians are now completely destroyed, and I am also poisoned. Even if you expend more of your internal energy, it will be of no use."
"Miss Long, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Since I've said I must cure you, I naturally have a way to save you."
"Miss Long, you must have heard of the One-Finger Divine Skill. As long as I use the power of the One-Finger Divine Skill to open up all the meridians in your body, your injuries will naturally be healed."
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, Xiaolongnu was startled and said:
"Young Master Qian, you actually know the One-Finger Divine Skill? I'm already injured like this, can you really heal me with it?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin nodded, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face as he said:
"When this Finger of Yang skill is mastered to its highest level, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and can naturally heal the girl's injuries."
However, since I used the One-Finger Divine Skill to open up the girl's meridians, I need to use the power of the One-Finger Divine Skill to penetrate all the major acupoints in her body. If I am not careful, all my efforts will be in vain.
If it's through clothing, mistakes are inevitable, so..."
Seeing Qian Jin's hesitant expression, Xiaolongnu knew his intention and couldn't help but feel a little shy.
She met Qian Jin twice, and although they didn't have much interaction, she still had a lot of goodwill towards this stubborn young swordsman.
Last time, he stubbornly tried to help himself, but ended up putting himself in danger.
This time, he stubbornly wanted to save himself again, using the One-Finger Divine Skill to open up all the meridians in his body. Although he spoke of it lightly, he himself must have been in great danger!
After hesitating for a long time, Xiaolongnu finally whispered:
"Young hero, there's no need to put yourself in such a difficult position. Although we are of different genders, I am not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of taking off my clothes?"
"Young hero, please act with confidence. If anything goes wrong, it is my fate, and you need not force it any further."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said with a solemn expression:
"In that case, we should act quickly rather than delay. I'll start treating your wounds now!"
"I will use my finger strength to open up your eight extraordinary meridians in a moment. Young lady, you must relax your whole body. No matter what strange things happen, do not try to resist them with your internal energy."
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl nodded and said:
"Then I'll assume I've already died."
After saying this, he took off his clothes, closed his eyes, and sat motionless on the stone bed.
Seeing this, Qian Jin no longer hesitated. He immediately used his Innate Skill to activate the One-Yang Finger and then slowly pressed on the Baihui acupoint on Xiaolongnu's head.
Xiaolongnu trembled slightly involuntarily, feeling a powerful internal force emanating from the top of her head and flowing down.
After pointing with his finger, Qian Jin saw that Xiaolongnu hadn't moved at all, so he immediately reached out and pointed with his second finger at the back of Xiaolongnu's head, behind her Baihui acupoint.
Then I continued to tap the following points: Qiangjian, Naohu, Fengfu, Dazhui, Taodao, Shenzhu, Shendao, and Lingtai.
After pressing all thirty acupoints on the Du Meridian, Qian Jin took a short breath and then struck again, pressing the twenty-five acupoints on Xiaolongnu's Ren Meridian.
He continued pressing the acupoints one after another until he had finished pressing the last eight key acupoints on the belt meridian. Only then did Qian Jin gasp for breath, sway involuntarily a few times, and then collapse to the ground.
