Chapter 1046: Two Blessings At Once (I)
Ding Weizeng finally came back to his senses and bowed deeply. His throat had been restored by Li Ximing’s divine ability, allowing him to speak again, though his voice was still a little hoarse, "Weizeng thanks the Daoist Master. I will never forget this life-saving grace."
Li Ximing smiled and shook his head. "Your injury is too severe and has not yet fully healed. My Bright Yang is not a healing method, only an energy that fosters life. The qihai is one of the three mansions[1], and it is not something I can restore with mere words. I only sealed it temporarily."
Li Ximing’s own body was condensed from Bright Yang, and now could be destroyed and remade at will. But Ding Weizeng’s qihai was damaged, and it was impossible to treat without treasures such as an Earth-View Bloodstone or Heavenly Pure Origin. Heavenly Pure Origin was Purple Mansion origin water, which the Li Family naturally did not possess, though half a piece of Earth-View Bloodstone still remained.
Yet Li Ximing had no intention of using such a treasure. He thought, It is only damage to the qihai, not the complete shattering of the mansion. Using an Earth-View Bloodstone would be wasting great material on a small matter. We just need to find a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator that’s good at healing to use their divine ability. It must not be wasted.
Since the Li Family did not rely on blood qi, the Earth-View Bloodstone was even more precious to them. This was true even if it did not have so many uses.
Li Ximing cherished it greatly and said, "I have my own methods for your qihai. As for your newly regrown eyes, without the nourishment of an Immortal Foundation, they will still need some time to temper."
"My thanks, Master," said Ding Weizeng in a deep voice, bowing. He was much larger than ordinary men, and now that his restraints were undone, his broad frame, square jaw, and bristling beard made him look like a crouching tiger.
Li Zhouwei was overjoyed at the sight. Feeling the White Shadow Gold Clasps hidden in his sleeve, he helped him up and said loudly, "In the battle at White River Stream, Fu Dou sought to kill me. You fought my clan uncle fiercely and even gained the upper hand for a moment. I remembered you from that day on. It seems we met through combat, but that too is a kind of fate. Your Palace Sun Tiger body is formidable. When Uncle Chenghui hears of this, he will surely be pleased."
Ding Weizeng was a handsome man. He had once thought himself a cripple, never expecting the Li Family to save him. Now that he understood, he naturally knew how to speak properly and bowed, "I greet the family head. In the past I served another master and did not recognize your esteemed presence. I have offended much."
The old man Qu Buzhi, who was also his friend, felt anxious as he listened, thinking to himself, This child... Floating Cloud Cave has already been destroyed, and still he clings to talk of the old master. He cannot bring himself to speak ill, since he grew up in Jiangbei...
