Chapter 816 - 805: Casting Talismans in Midair
The speed at which the Dragon Ladder descends is quite slow.
It is estimated that it would take one or two years to completely reach outside of Chang’an City in the lower realm.
Ding Ling pondered:
"It seems the complete repair and perfection of the Celestial Realm will take one or two years."
During this one or two years.
The Celestial Realm will continuously reward Ding Ling.
Making Ding Ling possess various unfathomable mystical energies.
What use does this energy have?
Ding Ling currently does not know.
But he has a feeling that if he fully masters this energy, it will undoubtedly be greatly beneficial to his development in both Martial Dao and Immortal Dao!
He is now just a mere Martial Arts Golden Core Level expert, far from becoming immortal.
And at his current level, he has already begun to be infused with the inexplicable special mysteries of the Celestial Realm.
These mysteries are beyond what he can currently control within his cultivation range, so he is not clear about their use either.
But he knows one thing.
If it is beneficial, he should first acquire it and talk about it later.
Therefore, he plans to stay in the Three Kingdoms for one or two more years.
"I’ll take advantage of this time to train well with Diao Chan and the others and enhance their strength!"
But before that.
I have to descend to the mortal world once.
Thinking so, Ding Ling shed his yellow robe, dressed in plain clothes, stepped out, and the next moment, he arrived at a Daoist Temple located outside of Lujiang County, Wan County, more than ten miles away in the human realm.
As he became the Immortal Realm Emperor.
The power triggered by his Celestial Heart Mark grew stronger, and the margin of error naturally reduced further.
Nowadays, he can almost pinpoint the exact location.
Therefore.
This time, he stepped out directly to reach the destination and saw the person he wanted to find.
A Daoist priest turned his back towards him, attending to someone’s illness.
Ding Ling proactively called out:
"Senior."
The Daoist priest trembled slightly, turned his head, and upon seeing Ding Ling, his pupils slightly dilated with a bit of surprise, but more disbelief:
"Prince. You, you..."
"Long time no see."
"Indeed. It’s been five or six years."
The Daoist priest was Yhiuu Ji.
For some reason, he visibly aged a lot, but upon seeing Ding Ling at this moment, he couldn’t help but show joy, stood up with a smile, and said:
"It’s truly my humble abode’s honor to welcome the Prince!"
He was about to entertain Ding Ling, but seeing the patients lined up in a long queue, he felt a bit awkward.
Ding Ling smiled:
"Let me help."
Yhiuu Ji’s eyes lit up as he recalled Ding Ling’s skill in talisman crafting, which surpassed the master, with some anticipation, but then felt embarrassed due to Ding Ling’s current status.
After all, times have changed.
Ding Ling is no longer what he was, while he remains just a small Daoist temple priest.
Ding Ling, seeing through Yhiuu Ji’s thoughts, did not reveal them, and just went forward, flicked his finger, and a flash of golden light appeared, manifesting talismans out of thin air in the void.
The talismans turned into streams of light that entered the patients’ bodies.
In the next moment.
All patients felt spirited and invigorated, with their ailments inexplicably vanished.
They were shocked, unable to believe it.
Yet instinctively knelt in gratitude.
When someone in the crowd revealed that the healer was Ding Ling, the Sword God and Guardian God of the Great Wei who swept across the land a few years ago, they were even more moved, discussing among themselves:
"Who would’ve thought the Prince isn’t only skilled in warfare, but his healing abilities have reached unfathomable levels! With a wave of a hand, he healed over a hundred patients present. It’s like a fantasy!"
"Indeed. Who would believe it without witnessing it themselves?!"
"I heard from an Alien that the Prince seems to have created a celestial path to the Celestial Court. If some of our descendants are qualified, they might be allowed to walk the Immortal Path, and if they gain the Prince’s favor, it would truly be a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes!"
...
Ding Ling’s healing divine techniques were too legendary and fantastical.
Not to mention the patients who were dumbfounded.
Even Daoist Yhiuu Ji was bewildered, his lips trembling uncontrollably:
"This, this, this, the ability to manifest talismans mid-air? It’s not recorded in the Taiping Qingling Dao. Rumor has it, it’s not even in the Taiping Sutra."
He looked at Ding Ling in disbelief:
"How did you manage to do it?"
"Senior, do you want to learn it?"
"Of course!!"
"Then I’ll teach you."
"..."
Daoist Yhiuu Ji was stunned, but instinctively expressed gratitude.
Ding Ling smiled and said:
"Senior taught me Taiping Qingling Dao, allowing me to smoothly reach the Celestial Human Realm; I’ve long wanted to repay this kindness. Now is the right time."
Daoist Yhiuu Ji was ashamed and remorseful:
"Prince, if you say so, it really embarrasses this old Taoist! When the Prince learned the methods back then, you passed through many of my tests, which is completely different from how you’re imparting knowledge now. I, I..."
"Senior, don’t think that way."
Ding Ling comforted:
"Different times, different circumstances. To you, the Taiping Qingling Dao is everything. But to me, this so-called Medical Dao is just one skill among many I have learned. Senior should feel at ease to accept it."
Ding Ling took out a Medical Canon from his arms and handed it over:
"Here you go."
Daoist Yhiuu Ji was deeply moved, looking at Ding Ling with admiration and praise in his eyes:
"Prince’s magnanimity is something this old Taoist is ashamed of."
Ding Ling placed the Medical Canon into Daoist Yhiuu Ji’s hand.
Daoist Yhiuu Ji’s hand trembled as he opened the Medical Canon; after just reading the first page, he found himself engrossed.
However, after only a dozen pages, he began to sweat.
By the time he reached the middle, he was already dizzy and unable to continue reading.
He took a deep breath, reluctantly and arduously closed the Medical Canon, marveling and being astonished, he said:
"Is this Medical Canon compiled by the Prince?"
"Indeed."
"It truly is extraordinary, the various medical methods in it are enough to overturn people’s worldview and imagination! I once doubted whether it was real. But after just witnessing the Prince’s method of casting talismans in the air to heal, I had to believe it."
Daoist Yhiuu Ji sighed in admiration and praised repeatedly.
After chatting with Ding Ling for a while.
Daoist Yhiuu Ji slapped his forehead and said:
"Look at me, I even forgot to entertain the Prince. Come to the living room with me, and I’ll make a good pot of tea for you!"
"Senior."
Ding Ling stopped Daoist Yhiuu Ji and said:
"I came here this time, wanting to see you properly."
Daoist Yhiuu Ji was moved:
"I understand. I’ve received your goodwill. Over the years, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have sent letters to me, saying you are grateful and generous. Now I truly understand, you are indeed a rare and exceptional young man!"
Ding Ling smiled, thought for a moment, and then spoke candidly:
"Daoist, Zuo Ci and Nanhua Old Immortal have been killed by me."
"What?!"
Daoist Yhiuu Ji’s body shuddered, and he exclaimed:
"What did you say?!"
