Chapter 4108 — A Shocking Revelation
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao said lightly with a smile, "To speak plainly, with the injuries Lord Tian bears, anyone else would long since have been unable to hold on. But a legend is a legend after all—the very fact that Lord Tian is still in such good spirits means you have preserved for yourself that last thread of a chance at recovery. I dare not say I can cure you completely, but I am willing to do my utmost and try."
"Young friend Wei Zhao, this concerns Lord Tian's very life—this is no child's play. You had best think carefully..." Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan hastened to caution him from the side.
Though Wei Zhao spoke with such certainty, they still found it hard to believe. This was no slight against Wei Zhao, but rather their care for him—after all, a thing even the Medicine Sage Zhang Lifeng could do nothing about, and here was a youngster like Wei Zhao claiming he could cure it. That was simply too far-fetched.
But Di Xingdao cut the two of them off. "It does not matter. Pharmacist Lin, go ahead and try without restraint. Whatever the outcome, I trust it cannot be any worse than my present state. I shall only be grateful to you, never blame you."
"Very well, then let us begin now." With that, Wei Zhao directly pressed his fingers to the pulse gate at Di Xingdao's wrist, circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, and began to heal him.
Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan were at once rather puzzled. What sort of treatment was this? Why did it look as though he were examining the injuries rather than healing them?
But seeing the grave expression on Lord Tian's face, they dared not interfere, and could only watch from the side with their hearts in their throats. The only thing left for them to do now was to stand guard well for the two of them.
Time slipped away bit by bit, and only after a full hour did Wei Zhao slowly withdraw his true qi. The healing could be considered concluded for the time being.
"Lord Tian, how do you feel?" Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan asked hurriedly.
After sensing the state of his body, Di Xingdao's face suddenly took on a look of boundless shock. He stared at his own right arm in disbelief, his expression full of alarm. "The meridians in this arm... have actually recovered?"
"Truly?" Hou Guanqi and the other were greatly startled at this, yet before any answer was needed they already knew Di Xingdao's words were absolutely true—for they abruptly discovered that the heaven-and-earth spiritual energy within the room had begun of its own accord to surge toward Di Xingdao's right arm!
As a former legendary figure of Zhongdao, Di Xingdao's strength was beyond doubt. With a single thought he could command the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. To ordinary people such a divine power seemed inconceivable, yet with him it was as natural as breathing—but this had one most fundamental precondition: that his meridians be restored.
"Lord Tian, you... you have truly recovered?" Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan now looked at Wei Zhao as though they were staring at some kind of monster.
Treating Di Xingdao had originally been nothing more than a pretext to deflect suspicion—yet who would have thought it had now turned into the real thing? And what they had never imagined was that a deadly illness even their master Zhang Lifeng could do nothing about had actually been cured by Wei Zhao!
The two of them could not even help but entertain an absurd notion: could this Wei Zhao be some legendary figure in disguise?
At this moment Di Xingdao was already steeped in wild joy, but Wei Zhao, off to the side, shook his head and answered in his stead: "The two seniors misunderstand. Lord Tian is not yet cured. I have merely reconnected the meridians in his right arm for him—nothing more than that."
