章節 84: Qi Deviation
"What!?" Lin Mu spoke out loud.
All this time, Lin Mu had been talking in his mind and the man that had brought him was standing at the side. But now that he had exclaimed, the man listened to it with wide eyes.
"Is there a problem senior Lin Mu?" The man asked with concern.
Lin Mu looked at Hei Yingjie again and saw that his face had become slightly pale. Without answering the man, Lin Mu extended his spirit sense and checked Hei Yingjie. What he saw had surprised him. The spirit qi that was faintly flowing was now raging.
The spirit qi core that was within Hei Yingjie's dantian was now vibrating and leaking out wisps of spirit qi. Faint grunts were even coming out of his mouth. It had only been a couple of minutes between Lin Mu checking him for the first time and now. The man that was stable before had suddenly worsened.
"What happened to him in these few moments?" Lin Mu wondered.
The man who had heard Lin Mu's words now understood the context. He too turned around and saw the change in Hei Yingjie's condition.
"What's happening to senior Hei Yingjie?" He asked, feeling afraid.
"It's bad, he's having a qi deviation." Xukong answered.
Lin Mu had heard about qi deviation from senior Xukong before, thus knew what it meant. He knew that when a cultivator's cultivation base became too unstable or underwent damage, it could lead to qi deviation.
But what confused Lin Mu was the rapidness of it. Hei Yingjie while being injured was still relatively stable before.
"Seems like you probing his dantian with your spirit sense probably triggered his defensive instincts. But because he was injured and unconscious, it resulted in this." Xukong spoke.
"So it's my fault?" Lin Mu asked, feeling guilty.
"No, do not blame yourself. This should not have normally happened, I think this may be related to why his spirit qi core is so small." Xukong replied in a stern voice.
"Alright, what do I do to help him then?" Lin Mu questioned.
"For something like this there are special alchemical pills, but we don't have that option right now. You can only try to stabilize the raging spirit qi for now." Xukong answered.
"Do I use the same method I used on Zhou Ye?" Lin Mu asked, feeling nervous.
"Yes, but it is still going to be difficult for you to do it alone. You will need the help of others, but first, you need to recuperate your own spirit qi quickly in order to help him." Xukong replied.
Upon hearing Senior Xukong's words, Lin Mu immediately thought of the spirit stones that he had. He had never used them and they were just lying in the ring. Using them would be the fastest way he could replenish his spirit qi.
"Tell the others to come to help you. They will need to supplement you with their spirit qi as well. If they rotate and do it in turns, you should have enough to maintain the supply." Xukong added.
"Yes senior." Lin Mu replied in his mind and turned to the man who was with him.
"Call everyone quick, Hei Yingjie's condition had gotten worse and now he is having a qi deviation. I'll need everyone's support to help him." Lin Mu spoke with urgency.
The man's eyes went wide as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"R-Right away senior." The man spoke and stumbled out of the tent.
While the man went to gather the rest of them, Lin Mu sat down and took out the damaged mid-quality spirit stones he had gotten from the hidden safe that was in the town head's office. Since they were damaged and leaking out spirit qi anyway, Lin Mu decided to use them first.
Lin Mu held one of them in his hands and then started to absorb the spirit qi from it. He started chanting the severing heart sutra and in an instant, the spirit qi started being absorbed from the spirit stone into his hands.
The spirit qi entered through his palms and flowed into the meridians. It then traveled through the meridians and finally came to settle inside the Dantian. He kept on absorbing it for about a minute before the spirit stone crumbled in his hands.
All the spirit qi from the spirit stone had been absorbed, thus the spirit stone turned into dust. Lin Mu observed his dantian and saw that he now had around seven hundred wisps of spirit qi in his dantian. The damaged mid quality spirit stone had provided him with nearly six hundred wisps of spirit qi.
"The next one should be enough." Lin Mu muttered.
And just as Lin Mu muttered that the flap of the tent opened and in walked the man he had sent to call for the rest.
"Everyone is ready, senior. What are your instructions?" The man spoke, feeling nervous.
Everyone here was a cultivator, thus they knew how dangerous a qi deviation was. They were even more scared since it was happening to someone that was part of the higher corps and was a lieutenant in the Hei corps.
"Tell them to come in one by one and inject their spirit qi into you. Once their spirit qi is depleted, another person should immediately replace them and the previous one should go recuperate." Xukong told Lin Mu.
Lin Mu inwardly nodded and turned to the man.
"I need them to supply me with spirit qi, while I help stabilize Hei Yingjie. They will switch after they run out." Lin Mu spoke.
"Yes, senior we understand!" The others shouted from the outside. Evidently, they had listened to his instructions.
"I'll be the first them." The man that was in the tent spoke.
"Alright, let me finish replenishing my spirit qi first." Lin Mu spoke.
The man felt a little confused at Lin Mu's words as he thought that he needed them, as Lin Mu had no spirit qi of his own. But then his eyes went wide in shock as Lin Wu withdrew another mid quality spirit stone and started absorbing spirit qi from it.
In a minute he was done and spoke,
"Let's start."
章節 85: Helping Hei Yingjie
Lin Mu sat down beside Hei Yingjie and placed his hands on his heart and abdomen. The man who had chosen to help him first sat behind him and put his hands on his back with palms wide open.
"I'm starting, be ready." Lin Mu spoke one last time before starting.
"As you command, senior." The man replied and focused.
Lin Mu guided out the spirit qi wisps from his dantian and channeled it through his meridians and out into his hands. He then pushed the spirit qi into Hei Yingjie's body and followed the method that senior Xukong had taught him.
Lin Mu was also observing Hei Yingjie closely with the help of his spirit sense. He wanted to ensure that he wouldn't miss something and make a mistake. Soon his spirit qi started to flow through Hei Yingjie's meridians and merged with his own raging spirit qi.
Lin Mu felt pressure on himself as his spirit qi started merging with Hei Yingjie. His spirit qi was very strong and threatened to destroy his. Lin Mu had to put all his focus into it by chanting the severing heart sutra.
With great difficulty, Lin Mu was able to complete one cycle of circulation. But even then he could not see any difference in Hei Yingjie's condition. His spirit qi was still ranging and damaging his meridians.
"Don't stop and continue doing it. He's at a higher cultivation realm than you, so it will take a while for his body to respond." Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu silently nodded and repeated the same process. He would pour his spirit qi into Hei Yingjie's meridians and tried to slow down the raging spirit qi. For over ten cycles, Lin Mu did not see any results or a difference in Hei Yingjie's condition.
But when he completed another twenty cycles, he finally saw the difference. The ranging spirit qi had finally slowed down by a tiny fraction.
'Alright, now I just gotta keep this up.' Lin Mu thought with determination.
Lin Mu sensed his dantian for a moment and observed that he had depleted nearly forty percent of his spirit qi in just this time. Knowing that he won't be able to keep this up and now needed support, he spoke up.
"Nows the time. Inject your spirit qi into me." Lin Mu spoke.
The man didn't say anything and simply started pouring his own spirit qi into Lin Mu. This man was also at the mid stage of the qi refining realm, thus had a maximum capacity of a thousand wisps of spirit qi. Currently, he only had seven hundred wisps of spirit qi as they hadn't had the proper time to recuperate.
Still, this would be enough for Lin Mu. The man guided out the spirit qi wisps out of his dantian and injected it into Lin Mu's back. From there, the spirit qi flowed into Lin Mu's meridians and joined the spirit qi that was being channeled into Hei Yingjie.
In this manner, Lin Mu was able to supplement his own spirit qi with the other man's. Lin Mu completed another thirty cycles and observed a little more improvement in Hei Yingjie's condition. But his spirit qi stores had also reduced to seven hundred spirit qi wisps.
Even with the support of the man, the loss of spirit qi was still occurring. Lin Mu did not move his eyes from Hei Yingjie and just used his spirit sense to observe the condition of the man that was supporting him. He observed his dantian and saw that he had barely a hundred wisps of spirit qi left.
"Switch, get the next person." Lin Mu spoke.
"I'm here." Before that man could even get up, another one of the members of the team walked in.
They switched and the process started again. This time Lin Mu was able to last for ten minutes before they had to switch again. They kept on rotating one by one and hours passed by. Lin Mu was now feeling incredibly tired.
Even the members of the Hei Corps had become exhausted. Their speed of recuperating spirit qi was not as fast as Lin Mu, thus they could only make do with whatever they recovered. The sky was now starting to brighten up and the faint outline of the sun could be seen in the distance.
Snow was already falling, so it would take a while before it got sufficiently bright. The clouds were thick and spread densely in the sky. Cold winds were blowing and from time to time the flap of the tent would flutter.
Hei Yingjie's condition had greatly improved and was very close to being stable. The raging spirit qi in his meridians had smoothed over, and his core was no longer leaking any spirit qi. Lin Mu continued helping him for another hour and only stopped when his own spirit qi had fallen below a hundred wisps.
~Huuuu~
Lin Mu let out a breath and lifted his hands from Hei Yingjie's body. He was no longer grunting in pain, and the color of his face had returned to normal. Lin Mu did another check and observed his internal condition. While the qi deviation had been alleviated to a certain extent, it was still not completely gone.
For the rest, they would have to leave it up to Hei Yingjie. His internal injuries were still present and would need some more time before they could be healed. Though the injuries that he had on his skin had now completely healed as a result of Lin Mu's help.
The members of the Hei corps that had been supporting him all this while were barely holding themselves together. When the person that was currently supporting Lin Mu saw that he had lifted his hands from Hei Yingjie's body, he knew that they were done.
"It's fine now, we have done all we could. The rest is up to him." Lin Mu spoke as he stood up.
Lin Mu left the tent and stretched his body. He had been sitting in the same position for a long time thus felt as if his body was all tensed up and there were knots in his muscles. Even with his eleventh stage body tempering realm physique, it was still harrowing for him to do such a task.
Lin Mu had effectively used the equivalent of the spirit qi of four hundred qi refining realm cultivators. With eight people rotating in shifts for a total of over fifty rotations, the qi that he had used in this night was the most he had ever used.
Lin Mu wanted nothing more than to sleep now and that's what he had decided to do. The other members of the team had seen him the instant he had walked out of the tent, thus understood that they were now done. Lin Mu looked around and saw that most of them were recuperating their spirit qi and were sitting cross-legged in a meditative pose.
~Sigh~
Lin Mu let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead and thought for a bit.
"I'll go to sleep now. Inform me if anything happens." Lin Mu spoke and entered his tent.
He withdrew the soft white bolster from his ring and put it down on the bedroll before he fell asleep.
