Chapter 2017 - 2007: Too Thickheaded
The Nine-Turned Three Life Technique was far more powerful than any Combat Technique Lin Tian had seen in his previous life.
As for just how powerful this Cultivation Technique was, what Grade it really belonged to, he still couldn’t accurately judge.
He could only classify it as a type of Divine Art!
Back in his previous life, Lin Tiandu had never even had the chance to come into contact with a Divine Art Combat Technique!
Yet the boost the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique gave his strength was earth-shattering!
Not to mention that inside his body there was still that Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl he hadn’t figured out yet.
Right now.
The blood in his body had long since changed, with faint streaks of dark gold appearing.
This was brought about by the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique.
Naturally, he couldn’t tell Xu Rensheng and the others about this, and could only explain it away as family inheritance.
"If Instructor Lin can cure my master, then you’ll be the benefactor of our Qingshan Sect!"
Xu Rensheng watched Lin Tian’s words and actions looking so proper and steady, and couldn’t help but show excitement on his face; expectation filled his eyes as he hurriedly cupped his fists and spoke.
Luo Han knew Lin Tian had cured Tan Xiaoning’s strange illness, so at this moment he was also extremely excited.
Long FeiCheen and the others at the side quieted down, holding their breath and focusing on Lin Tian, wanting to see exactly how the latter was going to proceed.
Yang Xian, however, was wearing a cold smirk at this time, saying disdainfully, "Putting on an act! Bloodbath Vine Medicine Liquid only replenishes qi and blood, it’s extremely precious for someone who just recovered from illness! But how are you going to use it to cure Sima Old Sect Master? Bloodbath Vine Medicine Liquid is already a great tonic, and with that weird blood of yours added in, you think he can withstand it?"
As soon as these words came out, the others present became even more suspicious.
They had no idea how exactly Lin Tian was planning to treat him.
"You’d better not disturb me! Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, you won’t even have time to cry..."
Lin Tian’s eyes gleamed with cold light as he swept a chilly glance over Yang Xian, issuing a warning.
Yang Xian’s face grew even more furious.
But after glancing at Xu Rensheng beside him, he ultimately forced down the anger in his heart.
Even though he was itching to teach Lin Tian a lesson, since treatment was underway at this moment, he couldn’t very well keep interrupting; this was, after all, the Qingshan Sect—at the very least he had to give Xu Rensheng some face.
Lin Tian lit the kerosene lamp on the stone table.
Then he picked up the surgical knife, sterilized it over the flame, and directly cut a slit at Sima Feng’s wrist.
As blood flowed out, Lin Tian picked up the glass cup containing Bloodbath Vine mixed with his own blood and directly covered it over that bleeding wound.
At the same time.
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense enveloped Sima Feng completely.
He immediately detected that the Ice Gu hidden in Sima Feng’s blood suddenly began to boil.
They abruptly turned restless, swarming toward the blood slit Lin Tian had just opened.
In that instant.
Tens of thousands of Ice Gu, as if smelling the scent of prey, came clawing and pouncing over.
Exactly.
This was all there was to Lin Tian’s so-called Gu Summoning!
Because Ice Gu’s favorite food was human blood!
And the blood of a Martial Arts Practitioner was even more attractive to Ice Gu than that of normal people, so they’d hidden in Sima Feng’s body, devouring and multiplying!
If an even nobler or purer blood appeared, these Ice Gu would absolutely be like moths drawn to a flame, charging straight for it.
As it happened.
Lin Tian was a Cultivator, and the vitality contained in his blood was absolutely something Sima Feng could not compare to.
On top of that, with Bloodbath Vine mixed into his blood, the vitality contained within became even more terrifying.
Thus.
After smelling this stronger blood, the Ice Gu immediately burrowed along the blood vessels.
Crack~
Suddenly.
The thin layer of ice crystals that had been covering Sima Feng’s body let out a crisp sound and shattered completely.
In just a short moment.
That thin ice layer vanished without a trace.
At this moment, everyone present could see the protruding veins on Sima Feng’s emaciated body constantly pulsing, a terrifying and hideous sight.
"Looks like that’s enough! After smelling the Bloodbath Vine Medicine Liquid mixed with my blood, all those Ice Gu are desperately rushing over!"
Lin Tian held the glass cup, secretly letting out a slight breath of relief.
Clatter~
All of a sudden.
The red Medicine Liquid in the glass cup in his hand began to boil violently.
Like water brought to a rolling boil, it churned and bubbled.
"Th-this... what’s going on?"
Xu Rensheng’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help letting out a startled cry.
The others were also stunned, faces full of shock.
"Master Xu, the Gu Worms are burrowing into this cup!"
Lin Tian stared at the boiling Medicine Liquid and turned back to explain to Xu Rensheng, "This kind of Gu Worm is called Ice Gu, a type of Poisonous Gu that loves to devour human blood, and the richer the vitality in the blood, the more they love it! My blood is a bit special, and mixed with the Bloodbath Vine Medicine Liquid, it becomes even more enticing! So all we needed was to open a blood slit and lure the Ice Gu out! That’s why... this kind of poisoning is very hard to treat and even harder to detect, but once you understand it, it becomes very simple!"
"Ah..."
Quite a few people couldn’t help exclaiming.
This... was way too simple!
A few minutes later.
No more Ice Gu appeared at the slit on Sima Feng’s wrist.
All the Ice Gu in his body had entered the glass cup.
Lin Tian simply used a bandage to bind it up and stop the bleeding.
Then he picked up the glass cup and stood up, walked over to the brazier, let a faint surge of Samadhi True Fire sweep into the cup from his palm, and at the same time tossed the cup straight into the brazier.
"This kind of Ice Gu is extremely terrifying. If they aren’t completely burned to death and end up spreading, and you don’t have a good method to eradicate them, it’ll be horrific!"
Lin Tian finished exterminating the Ice Gu in the cup, turned and walked back while saying, "Next I’ll help regulate Sima Old Sect Master’s condition. At most ten minutes and he’ll be able to get up!"
At the same time.
Xu Rensheng, Long FeiCheen, and the others already had looks of delight on their faces.
Because Sima Feng, who was still in a hazy state, actually already showed changes in his complexion.
Yang Xian at the side, however, looked rather ugly.
He could practically feel his face burning.
If Lin Tian really cured Sima Feng, not only would that be a slap to his face, it would also make his own incompetence glaringly obvious.
He immediately sneered coldly, "Sima Old Sect Master still can’t even get up yet, you can spout whatever nonsense you want! You think you’re an immortal? He’s been lying there for decades, and you say ten minutes of ’regulation’ is enough? Even if my master came, he wouldn’t dare boast like that!"
"Your master can’t do it because his talent is too lousy and his brain too stupid!"
Lin Tian’s gaze surged with cold intent as he swept a glance at Yang Xian, full of disdain.
"Arrogant!"
Yang Xian grew even more enraged, his chest heaving like a bellows, audible huffs coming out.
No one had ever dared speak of his master Wang Qing like that; Lin Tian was the first!
Simply outrageous!
"Little Divine Doctor Yang, please calm your anger! Whether he can be cured or not, let’s at least wait until Instructor Lin finishes his diagnosis and treatment!"
Xu Rensheng wore a helpless look and said to Yang Xian with a wry smile, "At that time, we can argue it out between us, all right?"
"Master Xu, I lost my composure! I’ll wait!"
Yang Xian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and nodded.
Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered with Yang Xian’s constant threats. He took out a Silver Needle from his person and began inserting it into various meridian points on Sima Feng’s body.
Every meridian point that was pricked by the Silver Needle oozed a faint white liquid, turbid and repulsive.
"Cough, cough..."
Suddenly, a bout of coughing came from Sima Feng, and then he laboriously opened his eyes, his expression dazed as he muttered, "Time to get up and practice martial arts!"
As soon as the words fell, he shot upright, flipped over, and got off the stone bed.
