Gu Qingluan’s expression turned serious.
With a pulse like that, she wouldn’t dare to give him the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill, fearing it might cause him to die instantly.
She took out the Primordial Gold Needle and inserted it into his chest.
Arcane power flowed through the needle into the acupoints.
Heaven Star squatted beside her, wide-eyed with curiosity.
After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Qingluan withdrew the needle, sweat forming on her forehead.
In just this short time, she had expended more energy than when she had saved Zhou Qingyu.
She checked his pulse again, her expression changing. “How could this be?”
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“His pulse is even more chaotic now,” Gu Qingluan said in a deep voice.
“Oh, Mistress, are your exceptional medical skills not enough to save him?”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “That’s not necessarily true!”
There were very few patients in this world she couldn’t cure!
Ethically and logically, she wouldn’t give up on him.
Gu Qingluan calmed down and sent her consciousness into his body.
At a glance, she saw that something was amiss.
There was not a trace of arcane power in the man’s body; his dantian was enveloped in a black mist.
As soon as Gu Qingluan’s consciousness approached, the black mist attacked her.
Without paying attention, a corner of her consciousness was devoured.
What kind of strange thing was this?
Gu Qingluan endured the pain and observed from a distance.
The black mist coiled around the dantian, and a stream of energy slowly flowed toward it, only to be devoured.
The energy was the essence; it was the life force!
The black mist fluctuated in size, and the flow of energy varied in speed.
No wonder his meridians were in such chaos.
If this were to continue, his body would inevitably give in, and he would have to meet the King of Hell.
Gu Qingluan summoned her true flame and controlled its range, cautiously approaching the black mist.
The black mist seemed very alert; as soon as the flame got close, it immediately stopped absorbing the essence and retreated to the deep recesses of the dantian.
Gu Qingluan was concerned that the flame might harm the man’s dantian, so she halted at a safe distance.
After waiting for a while, Gu Qingluan heard a low groan in her ear.
He was waking up!
In the following moment, Gu Qingluan pulled her awareness out of his body, blinked her eyes open, and found herself gazing into a pair of intense, narrow purple eyes.
Gu Qingluan was momentarily stunned.
In the darkness earlier, she hadn’t seen clearly, but now she noticed he had a pair of beautiful purple pupils.
Feng Tianlan had just woken up and, after a few seconds, realized what had happened.
His eyelashes fluttered gently, and he lowered his gaze to the small hand, white as jade, holding onto his arm.
Gu Qingluan cleared her throat and withdrew her hand, explaining, “I was just checking your pulse. It’s in a chaotic state, a near-death condition, but 1’11 do my best to save you. How do you feel?”
“I’m fine, it’s just a recurring old ailment.”
Gu Qingluan asked in surprise, “Not from those revered ones who injured you?”
She recalled the scene of the battle she had witnessed earlier.
Faced with formidable foes surrounding him, he remained calm and held his own. Later, due to obscured vision, she didn’t see the details of the fight. The next time she looked, he was on the verge of collapse.
Now, thinking back, his old ailment must have suddenly resurfaced during that time.
If not for that, she wouldn’t have needed to intervene.
Feng Tianlan sat up with effort, coughing several times uncontrollably as if trying to cough up blood.
Gu Qingluan’s thoughts moved, and a soft bed appeared nearby.
“Do you want to lie down on it for a while? Your condition is quite serious right now.”
Feng Tianlan nodded.
Gu Qingluan held onto his arm and helped him up.
“You still have injuries on your back. Don’t lie down yet; let me treat the wounds for you.”
With that said, Gu Qingluan seized his collar.
Her hand was suddenly gripped.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking off your clothes, of course. How can I apply medicine if you don’t remove your clothes?”
“I… I can do it myself.” There was a slight blush on the man’s pale face.
Gu Qingluan disagreed, “With injuries like these, can you handle it yourself? Besides, you can’t reach the wounded area. You’re such a big man but why are you being so shy?”
She freed her hand from his grasp.
With a tearing sound, Feng Tianlan’s shirt was peeled off..
