Rebirth of the Thunder God

"First, take off the patient's clothes."

Namgung Hui had felt it before while treating Eun Seolrin, but he had already realized that it was troublesome for any substance to block the process of injecting Ki.

But that was a time when his realm was considerably different from now.

Of course, the clothes themselves could burn up, unable to withstand Namgung Hui's Thunder Ki, but now that he had reached the Transformation Realm, it was sufficiently controllable.

It wasn't for nothing that the Art of Grasping Emptiness was possible from the Transformation Realm.

That much was a part that could be adjusted with the function of the upper Dantian.

"Sect Leader. It may be presumptuous of me to say, but is there really a need to take off her clothes? I'm afraid that if I take off her clothes, the Twin Elders outside will tell me to take responsibility for their granddaughter."

"Then again. With the Twin Elders' loose lips, it would even reach the ears of the Young Palace Mistress. Then you would have three enemies. Hmm... Alright. This time, I will trust you."

For a moment, Namgung Hui saw the Divine Physician Sect Leader's face as mischievous, but he wondered if he would joke in such an urgent situation.

Namgung Hui took his eyes off the Divine Physician Sect Leader and turned his head back to the patient.

A pale complexion.

A gaunt body.

A pale appearance reminiscent of a Jiangshi.

Perhaps because she was rather tall, it was a situation that made him guess that she was not a young girl.

Still, since it was an unchanging fact that she was still in the prime of her life, a sense of compassion arose in a corner of his heart.

'She's a young lady with a much longer life ahead of her. Let's do our best to save her.'

Namgung Hui placed his hand on the woman's abdomen and said to the Divine Physician Sect Leader.

"I am ready."

"Then, the moment I feed her this medicine, guide the two energies to the Conception and Governor Vessels. You will be able to sense the blocked parts on your own without me telling you."

Hadn't Namgung Hui recently observed not only Eun Seolrin's body but also Beak Seolhwa's?

Now, Namgung Hui had a thorough understanding of a woman's body.

However, the difference from that time was that the patient was now unconscious, and unlike Beak Seolhwa, her body was excessively thin.

She even looked weaker than Eun Seolrin, who didn't know martial arts.

'Of course, I'm different from back then.'

When the Divine Physician Sect Leader poured the medicine into the patient's mouth, Namgung Hui, as if waiting, injected the Purple Thunder Ki into her Dantian.

Originally, if a large amount of internal energy existed in the Dantian, a repulsive force would arise, but now, there was not even a speck of internal power in the patient's body.

Rather, the thick Dantian became a passage that made it easy to fully accept the Thunder Ki.

-Chijijijik.

The Thunder Ki entered the Dantian and headed for the Governor Vessel.

And the medicinal energy entered through the esophagus and headed for the Conception Vessel.

Namgung Hui, in perfect order, controlled the two energies with both hands and observed the blocked meridians in her body.

'The blocked acupoints are all nine... It's the Nine Yin Severed Meridians! I've unblocked the Guan Yuan point near the Dantian, but the Baihui point and the chest area are the biggest problems.'

The Baihui point was an important acupoint, so much so that it was called the gate of life and death.

The Baihui point of such a weak patient could be said to be no different from the detonator of a thunderbolt bomb.

And even the chest area was quite tightly blocked.

Should he say it felt as if a particularly poisonous Ki was gathered around the liver and heart?

'This is probably all because of the wine the Black and White Twin Elders fed her.'

Anyway. Setting aside the cause, looking at the patient's condition, it seemed he had to unblock the favorable places first, excluding the dangerous acupoints.

Perhaps thanks to having accumulated experience several times, Namgung Hui did not consider the Nine Yin Severed Meridians to be a very difficult constitution.

Not only was his realm high, but he had also seen firsthand how the Divine Physician Sect Leader of his past life had treated it, so based on that memory, he gradually unblocked the safe parts first.

Mingmen, Xuanshu...

Qihai, Jiuwei...

As he circulated through the Governor and Conception Vessels and even the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, only two blocked acupoints remained.

A smooth situation, so much so that the Divine Physician Sect Leader, who was watching from the side, could not even step in.

Now, only the Baihui point near the crown of the head and the Zhongting point near the solar plexus were blocking the way.

Namgung Hui fell into deep thought for a moment, looking at the remaining two acupoints.

The two places were fatal vital points even for ordinary people, so much so that their superiority could not be determined.

As it was, the Zhongting point was a place where a lot of turbid Ki had accumulated due to the Twin Elders.

Since Namgung Hui had some experience in unblocking the Baihui point, he decided to unblock the Baihui point first and communicated the Thunder Ki and the medicinal energy to the Conception and Governor Vessels at the same time.

-Gooooooh. Chijijijik.

The two energies slowly approached the Baihui point, exuding their presence.

Both were extremely hot yang-kang Ki.

The nature of the Thunder Ki was rough and explosive.

And the energy of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king was quiet but grand.

The two energies, as if not to lose to each other, boasted a powerful firepower and were on the verge of breaking through the Baihui point right away.

Of course, if that happened, she would not just become an idiot, but would die on the spot.

Namgung Hui, with his skillful hands, refined the two energies, made them like a thin needle, and slowly pierced the Baihui point.

A delicate application of Ki, as exquisite as a physician placing a needle on a patient.

The function of the upper Dantian was exerted, and the extremely condensed energy broke down even the huge wall called the Nine Yin Severed Meridians.

-Saaaaah...

Perhaps because she was still a weak patient, even though the Baihui point was unblocked, no major change occurred, but it seemed that a slight blush was appearing on her pale complexion.

A feeling of having risen from a corpse to a half-corpse.

Since there was still a long way to go, Namgung Hui did not rest on his laurels here and immediately turned his energy to the last remaining Zhongting point.

'The Zhongting point is a first for me, so I need to approach it carefully.'

As it was, since even the alcohol had accumulated, it had weakened the physical organs themselves.

Although the Black and White Twin Elders had not done this with malicious intent, her body was in a weakened state due to the wine they had fed her.

Namgung Hui first burned the alcohol with Thunder Ki and purified the Zhongting point.

The alcohol burned up in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

Up to this point, there had been no problem, but as the alcohol, which had been warming her body as the Twin Elders had intended, disappeared, her whole body began to freeze like frost, and the woman's body began to tremble.

An intense yin energy arose from the middle Dantian where the heart was.

A fundamental and profound extreme yin Ki, even more so than the Ice Bewitchment Poison.

Namgung Hui bit his lip.

The treatment had been so smooth that he had forgotten the fact that the patient's illness was the legendary Nine Yin Severed Meridians.

'At this rate, sending Ki from the Dantian is meaningless...! If so.'

Namgung Hui took his hand off her Dantian and immediately placed it on the Zhongting point near her solar plexus.

A soft sensation brushed his fingertips, but he had no time to feel it.

Namgung Hui drew out a huge amount of Thunder Ki, refined and compressed it, and sent it into her heart area.

A series of exquisite and refined processes occurred in the blink of an eye.

From the perspective of the Divine Physician Sect Leader who was watching from the side, it looked as if he had taken his hand off her Dantian and placed it on her chest, and then immediately sent in the Thunder Ki.

The emergency measure, carried out so swiftly, was certainly effective.

The freezing body gradually regained its color, and even the cold air that had been swirling in the air subsided.

Heun, heun.

Her breathing, like a sleeping baby's, had returned, clearly showing that she was alive.

Namgung Hui did not feel relieved here and, riding this momentum, poured the condensed energy into the Zhongting point.

If the Baihui point had required a thin, needle-like energy, the Zhongting point required a more solid energy.

He struck the Zhongting point simultaneously with yang-kang Ki, as if hitting it with a nail thicker than a nail.

-Kureureung...!

A collision of Ki that could not be heard by anyone's ears was felt from Namgung Hui's palm.

Although the patient's figure flinched slightly, she couldn't feel it as she had not yet regained consciousness.

And so, the rare disease called the Nine Yin Severed Meridians disappeared at the hands of Namgung Hui.

The palm that had performed such a great feat slowly fell from the patient's body.

Namgung Hui wiped his forehead and said.

"Phew... Sect Leader. From what I can see, it seems to be completely treated. Would you like to check her condition?"

"Hoho. I was going to step in if things went wrong, but you've done everything. How come you seem so familiar with handling a woman's body? By any chance, are you..."

Namgung Hui was startled by the Divine Physician Sect Leader's lecherous gaze and waved his hands.

"No. Sect Leader. I don't know what you're thinking, but it's a misunderstanding. I am a body that still does not know a woman's body."

The Divine Physician Sect Leader returned to an innocent face, as if he had never made such an expression, and asked Namgung Hui back.

"You don't know a woman's body? What does that mean? Ah. That's not what I was trying to say. Well, I'll be the only one who knows you're a virgin. Hahaha!"

Namgung Hui was reminded once again of the fact that all the past Divine Physician Sect Leaders were eccentrics.

An outstanding spirit of inquiry and the ingenuity to support it.

He observed all things from multiple angles, from a perspective that others could not think of.

Of course, this had contributed a lot to the world, including the treatment of Severed Meridians Syndrome, but now, the fact that Namgung Hui had become the object of that observation was a very displeasing situation.

Was it because they had heard Namgung Hui and the Divine Physician Sect Leader's conversation?

The Black and White Twin Elders, who had been loitering in the hallway, cautiously opened the door and stepped into the room.

"Ahem. Hearing that, it seems the treatment is over. Is our granddaughter safe?"

Namgung Hui glanced at the woman sleeping like a baby and said to the White Elder.

"As you can see, the Nine Yin Severed Meridians have been completely cured."

"N-Nine Yin Severed Meridians? You mean the illness our granddaughter was suffering from was the Nine Yin Severed Meridians?"

"Isn't that a disease that appears once in a hundred years?"

"That's right. Think of it as bad luck. No. Think of it as good luck that she has survived even after getting such a disease. Now that she has regained her health, whether she learns martial arts or sets her mind on scholarship. She will achieve quite outstanding accomplishments."

Since the Black and White Twin Elders were also masters of the Transformation Realm, they would understand even if Namgung Hui didn't give a detailed explanation.

The fact that the Baihui point was smoothly communicated and the upper, middle, and lower Dantians had achieved a perfect balance was a quality worthy of being called a great fortune.

The White Elder, who had approached lightly, grabbed the woman's hand and began to sob.

"Sob, sob...! Sua. I'm so glad. I'm so, so glad. I was so sad to have sent your mother away first, but I'm so glad I could protect you."

"Hoooong...!"

The Black Elder next to him also shed chicken-like tears and cried sorrowfully.

Was it because of the wailing of the Black and White Twin Elders?

The woman, who had regained her color, trembled her eyelids and turned her head.

"Grand...father...?"

Although her voice was rather hoarse, it was a tone that was imbued with life.

Rather, should he say that her voice sounded alluring?

The White Elder gripped his granddaughter's hand with both hands and smiled brightly.

"Yes. Sua. It's me, your grandfather. Are you awake?"

"Yes... And my body feels strangely refreshed. By any chance, did that physician over there treat me?"

At his granddaughter's question, the White Elder shook his head and said.

"No. When this grandfather was watching, it wasn't the Sect Leader, but this young man here who treated you alone. Well, the Sect Leader did provide the medicine, but if it's the Nine Yin Severed Meridians, it wouldn't be cured with just one medicine."

"Nine Yin Severed Meridians...!?"

The granddaughter's eyes widened in surprise.

Although she knew she was suffering from a rare disease, she must not have thought it was the Nine Yin Severed Meridians.

The White Elder stroked his granddaughter's head once and then turned his head to ask Namgung Hui.

"Yes. Now that I've realized that our granddaughter is completely cured, I will give you a reward. What I will give you is..."

Namgung Hui looked at the White Elder's mouth with a subtle expectation.

"This is our Sua."

Namgung Hui was so drained that his legs almost gave way.

But he regained his balance by even performing the Thousand-Pound Drop and asked.

"White Elder. How old do you think I am, to give me your young granddaughter? And is your granddaughter an object?"

"You mean you don't like our granddaughter? I saw you caressing her chest earlier, so shouldn't you take responsibility?"

"No. It was an unavoidable situation that occurred during the treatment process. Then would you have preferred it if I had gone back to the past and let your granddaughter die?"

"Tsk, tsk! I was just kidding. What I will give you is not Sua, but this."

As the White Elder took out a jade box from his bosom, Namgung Hui couldn't help but widen his eyes at the unusual energy he felt from within the jade box.
