Chapter 2113 Healing The Injured Companions And The 11th Form
Chapter 2113 Healing The Injured Companions And The 11th Form
Daoist Chu and Min Ju were both unconscious, having passed out the moment they had jumped into the teleportation gate. It was likely that they had been pushed to their limits and were probably betting on the teleportation gate, saving them by taking them to another place.
It was a risky choice, but had now worked in their favor, as their companions had found them.
Lin Mu and Lady Kang had quickly finished their assessment of the two, knowing what to do now.
"Here, Frost Warding Pills." Lin Mu quickly took out two pills that were suitable in dealing with damaged cured by Ice elemental immortal Qi. "Help them circulate the energy. I'll prepare the area." Lady Kang took them and put them in the two individuals mouth, before using her Immortal Qi to stimulate the pill to melt down and enter their bodies. ~SHUA~
While she did that, Lin Mu began setting up a formation. He threw out eight formation flags that planted around them in an octagonal pattern before a brush appeared in his hands.
Lady Kang felt strong Dao Traces around her, making her look towards Lin Mu.
'That brush… It's a Dao Embryo.' She recognized and watched Lin Mu draw out hundreds of runes in the air.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
The runes were written at a great speed such that Lin Mu's hand was but just a blur. The runes flew around Lin Mu before being controlled by his Immortal sense and being guided to specific spots in the air. Bit by bit, the runes were assembled into a formation that looked like an inverted dome above the octagonal array made from the formation flags.
~HONG~
"Warming Hemisphere Formation! Octagonal Pagoda Formation!" Lin Mu chanted, having finished the two formations before drawing a single line in the air that connected the inverted dome with the octagon on the ground. "Transform! Warming Pagoda Array!" But he was not done yet, as he called out to someone for help.
"Xiao Yang, I need your Qi." Lin Mu spoke.
~HISS~
In the next moment, the snake responded to his master's call and breathed out a mass of white Qi. Lady Kang could easily identity this to be none other than Pure Yang Elemental Immortal Qi!
~HUALA~
As soon as the Qi appeared, the Warming Pagoda Array rapidly absorbed it and started to glow.
~Woong~ Once all the Yang Elemental Immortal Qi was absorbed, the array activated and beams of gentle light fell from it, coating the two injured companions.
"The array should be able to prevent further damage and restrain the cold Qi in their bodies, giving the Frost Warding Pills to do their work properly." Lin Mu said after seeing the array was working perfectly.
With Lady Kang guiding the Medicinal Efficacy on the inside and the effect of the array, Daoist Chu and Min Ju started to recover. The frost and ice on their bodies rapidly melted away, while the wounds started to bleed again. Lady Kang watched this and let the wounds bleed for the time being, as it was necessary.
'Their blood had congealed and decomposed due to the cold, its best for it to be expelled first.' She thought.
After about an hour or so, the frost was fully expelled and color returned to the face of the two injured companions.
"Looks like we can feed them healing pills now." Lin Mu spoke, having checked their condition. "We can use these," He said, taking out some pills he had gotten previously from the Morning Glory Clan.
"These won't be necessary. You can conserve those pills." Lady Kang denied before saying, "I have a faster method." Lin Mu tilted his head a bit and wondered what she intended to do. 'Faster than the Healing pills? Is she going to use a Healing technique?' He wondered before watching her use one of her skills.
~HONG~ Lady Kang made several hand seals before ten glowing stars manifested above her. "88 Constellation Series: Eleventh Form - The Serpent Bearer!" Lady Kang chanted.
The stars emanated a gentle glow before taking the form of a man holding a serpent!
The illusory man glanced down at the two injured people before raising the serpent above its head.
"Ophiuchus' Healing Mizzle!" She completed the skill.
~SHAHA~
A whistling sound was heard before the mouth of the serpent opened. Inside its mouth, one could see a single star that was rather dim. But the very same dim star seemingly released a tiny wisp of light that rained down onto Daoist Chu and the maid Min Ju.
The wisps entered their body and quickly started to mend their wounds. Their unstable immortal Qi became uniform while their vitality surged. In just a couple of minutes, the two had returned to the peak of health.
If not for the damaged clothes, it would have been impossible to tell that the two had been injured at all.
'That healing skill… It really is quite good.' Lin Mu couldn't help but admit. 'Though it does come at a high cost too.' He realized as he felt the Immortal Qi draining from Lady Kang.
It was invisible to the naked eye, but with Spatial Perception, Lin Mu could see her Immortal Qi being channeled into the illusory figure above her. "Wait…" But as he did, Lin Mu suddenly realized something else. "That skill… it's extending past the void?" he observed that there was an almost invisible link connecting the illusory figure to something in the void.
But Lin Mu was sure that it wasn't connecting to the void, but rather something beyond it.
'If it was connecting to the void, I would have known… But it travels past it before leaving the void…' Lin Mu tried to look past it all and track the link down, but his sight could not reach that far.
It became apparent to him that wherever the link went, it was beyond his reach for now.
But it did leave him with many questions, such as the fact that just what kind of skills was Lady Kang even using.
'That link… it was not anything normal… It doesn't seem to be made from Qi, or Dao Traces.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Unknown to him, Lady Kang had registered his inquisitive look and had also heard his words earlier. Even though they might have been spoken lightly, in a closed and silent place like this, they may as well have been screamed into her ears.
"They are Stellar Dao Insights." Lady Kang spoke, turning to Lin Mu. "I didn't expect you to be able to see them… Even I can't see them yet." "Dao Insights? I've seen those before, but they didn't feel like that," Lin Mu replied. "No, wait… How are you using Dao Insights in the first place?" he asked, finding it unusual.
"Well, the simple answer is I'm not." Lady Kang replied. "The Cultivation Techniques that are rather unique… They draw their power from the Stellar Dao and as such have several exceptions to them that other techniques don't." She explained.
"The Stellar Dao… You mean the power of the stars and constellations…" Lin Mu had heard of it before, though it was in relation to something else. "Isn't that primarily something used by Diviners?" he spoke.
"Just because it is used by diviners doesn't mean that it can't be used for other things." Lady Kang chuckled. "The reason it is used by Diviners is because it is one of the more elusive forms of Dao that is suitable for divining. But if one has the talent for it, one can also use it for other paths." She added.
"Hmm… So you transformed it into a multifaceted cultivation technique." Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
"You could say that," Lady Kang replied before seeing a strange expression on Lin Mu's face. "What is it?"
"Is it fine for you to say this, though?" Lin Mu questioned. "Revealing what it is." "If we are to get through this trial and survive the Inheritance ground, I think it is best we know more about each other's abilities. We need to be able to trust each other." Lady Kang answered. "Besides, it isn't exactly information that has been a secret. If someone is knowledgeable enough, they would be able to figure it out eventually… And you would have been able to do that too. Or at least that's what my hunch says." She stated it as a matter of fact.
Her guess was indeed correct, as Lin Mu would have only needed some more time to look through some documents to verify the facts. And if he still couldn't figure that out, Xukong would probably be able to answer him when he woke up again.
Lin Mu didn't disturb him unless he absolutely needed to these days and let the senior cultivate as he pleased.
Plus, if it was something that aroused Xukong's interest, he would speak up on his own. But for now, it was fine for Lin Mu to do things on his own.
