Chapter 71: Treating the Subordinate
Chapter 71: Treating the Subordinate
“Sigh!” Old Xie sighed, knowing that Krishchen was indeed afraid that seeing the object would remind him of the past, so he didn’t insist. He casually put the dagger away and said, “Then alright, you eat with me first. After we are full, I will treat your injuries!”
“Yes, thank you, Young Master!” When Krishchen heard this, he immediately trembled with excitement. At this time, how could he eat even with a table of delicacies? He stuffed two mouthfuls in a daze, not knowing the taste at all, and just looked eagerly at Old Xie eating, with an expectant look.
Old Xie couldn’t stand his resentful gaze anymore, but he could also understand his mood and was too embarrassed to lose his temper. In the end, he smiled helplessly, “Alright, alright, treat the injury first, eat later!”
“Young Master, you eat first!” Krishchen also realized his inappropriateness and said with some embarrassment.
“With you looking at me with such resentful eyes, can I eat?” Old Xie then said with an impatient bitter smile, “Alright, alright, eat later. Come with me!” After that, he led the Old Steward to a luxurious bedroom in the Castle.
“Sit cross-legged on the bed, just like when you cultivate Magic meditation!” Old Xie said to Krishchen.
“Yes, Young Master!” Krishchen hurriedly sat down as Old Xie said.
Then Old Xie said with a serious face, “I have long probed the situation in your body. To tell you the truth, your meridians were shattered and scattered by several huge forces. Anyone else would have been finished long ago. But you are still alive, just becoming a disabled person. I was very surprised by this until you said you were an Explosive Bear Druid. I vaguely felt that your life was saved by the War Soul in your body!”
“Then Young Master, can my injury be treated?” Krishchen asked anxiously.
“Of course it can be treated, otherwise I wouldn’t have wasted words!” Old Xie then said, “However, after your meridians were destroyed, although they grew together again with the help of the War Soul’s power, blockages and displacements appeared. It is precisely because of this that the Magic Power in your body cannot be used, making you a disabled person. If you want to recover, there is no other way but to forcefully break the meridians that have grown well again, and then re-align them in the original order. You should know that such a process is simply like pulling tendons and knocking bones. The pain is definitely not something ordinary people can endure.”
“Young Master, look!” Krishchen said, taking off his upper body clothes, revealing his body covered in scars. The criss-crossing scars were dense and layered, almost without a single intact place. It could be seen how much pain he had suffered back then. Krishchen then said excitedly, “I have survived all this. What is there to care about? As long as my strength is restored and I can avenge my wife and children, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not hesitate!”
“Then alright!” Old Xie nodded and said, “But I must remind you that this process is very painful, but you must not faint, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted!”
“Don’t worry, Young Master, I won’t faint even if I die!” Krishchen said firmly.
“Alright, let’s begin!” Old Xie then didn’t waste any more words. He reached out and pressed his hand on Krishchen’s head. Then, a majestic Magic Power was transmitted from Old Xie’s palm.
Although Krishchen’s previous strength was definitely stronger than Old Xie, who was only 13 years old now, he was now just a disabled person, and his body was very fragile. He couldn’t withstand the impact of Old Xie’s domineering Magic Power at all. As a result, the meridians in his body were broken through as easily as tofu being washed away by a flood. Of course, although Old Xie’s power was domineering, it was very measured. It only impacted along the meridians and did not hurt other parts. Otherwise, Krishchen would have been turned into mud by this force long ago.
Even so, Krishchen was still in so much pain that he wished he were dead. His whole body convulsed constantly, and sweat soon soaked his clothes. However, he could really endure it. With the obsession of huge hatred, he didn’t make a sound until Old Xie finished the treatment. That was nearly half an hour!
After doing this, Old Xie was also sweating. He panted and said to Krishchen, “Your meridians have been re-opened and recombined by me. The mysterious power in your body is very magical. It has already started to help you repair the meridians. However, there seems to be a kind of toxin in your body that has always existed. They are interfering with your War Soul’s effect, so the War Soul’s power is a bit lacking in stamina. It will take at least a few months for your meridians to stabilize again. What is going on?”
“Sigh!” Krishchen smiled bitterly, “The Elves who chased me back then feared my strength and didn’t hesitate to apply a poison specifically targeting War Soul Druids on their weapons. This toxin was secretly refined by the Elders of the Elven Race. It can effectively suppress the power of the War Soul and is specially used to deal with Elven Race traitors. Back then, I was cut hundreds of times. This toxin definitely spread all over my body. I just didn’t expect it hasn’t dissipated after so many years. It’s really detestable!”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as it is a toxin, there is a way to detoxify it. Leave this to me. Now you can heal your injuries in peace!” Old Xie then instructed, “During the healing period, you can only rest and cultivate quietly, but you cannot use any Spells or skills. Otherwise, you might break the meridians that haven’t grown well again, and that will be troublesome!”
“Thank you, Young Master!” Although Krishchen hadn’t recovered, he already felt the Magic Power that had disappeared for more than ten years. Clearly, there was hope for his recovery. The dream of many years was realized in one day, and he was so excited that he couldn’t stop crying.
“Mm!” Old Xie didn’t speak. He just patted his shoulder and went to wash and change clothes, then prepared to enjoy his food again. He knew that there was no need to say anything now. It was best to give Krishchen a separate time to calm down slowly.
…
Just as Old Xie was treating Krishchen, the Old Mage over there also welcomed an uninvited guest. On this day, the Old Mage was sitting in his Dean’s office, which had just been repaired, enjoying exquisite tea and drinks beautifully. Suddenly, the door of his Dean’s office was pushed open by someone. It was so sudden that the Old Mage choked and sprayed tea onto his long white beard.
The Old Mage’s good mood immediately disappeared. He stood up angrily, ignoring wiping his beard, wanting to see who had the guts to enter without knocking.
