Free Web NovelChapter 921: Chapter 917: Meridian Flow Unblocked
The reason why Xiao Tian did this was simply because Xiang Yiting was just an ordinary person, and her constitution was even below average. If he directly unleashed True Qi, the ferocity of Iron Chain Cross River would have a counteractive effect.
Only by finding a level Xiang Yiting could withstand could he achieve the life-saving effect.
In Xiao Tian’s view, Xiang Yiting’s meridians were merely blocked, so he used silver needles to stimulate her acupoints, hoping to clear the blockage in her meridians. However, he found that the impurities blocking them were as solid as rock.
Though it did have some effect, to put it bluntly, the difference was trivial, for Xiang Yiting’s condition didn’t improve significantly.
Therefore, Xiao Tian planned to adopt a somewhat radical and riskier approach, using external force to shatter the impurities blocking Xiang Yiting’s meridians, thereby achieving fluidity!
The risk lay in Xiao Tian’s precise control over his strength. If he were to carelessly shatter Xiang Yiting’s meridians, there would be no saving her!
Thus, there was only one chance, and he had to give his all, concentrating with everything he had. Xiang Yiting’s life or death depended entirely on whether he could accurately control the power.
In fact, Xiao Tian’s mastery of True Qi was exceptional among peers, ranking at a top level.
But that was limited to combat situations, involving the subtle control of power; this required finding a balance—neither too much nor too little—which he had never encountered before.
However, as True Qi flowed, not only did he fail to find that delicate balance, but his breath began to become unsteady, appearing increasingly out of control.
Within a short time, Xiao Tian had utilized all his past experiences and all the techniques and methods he could employ, but he repeatedly brushed past that subtle balance.
Quickly stabilizing the True Qi that was on the verge of erupting, Xiao Tian repeatedly told himself to stay calm. The more anxious he became, the worse the situation would get, so he concentrated on finding the reason for his failure.
After a moment, Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up, realizing the reason he previously couldn’t find the balance point—was due to subjective assumptions.
As a former top master, Xiao Tian’s grasp and application of power, along with his accumulated experiences, were incredibly rich!
But at this moment, it was precisely his reliance on experience that hindered him; the more he thought he should act a certain way, the more things went the opposite, causing the True Qi output to be either too much or too little.
Xiao Tian slowed his breathing, following a breathing method he had learned before, trying to temporarily forget his past experiences and techniques, and began anew to find that balance point...
Roughly two minutes later, under Adison Claire’s tense watch, Xiao Tian suddenly struck Xiang Yiting in front of him with both hands.
When Xiao Tian’s hands touched Xiang Yiting’s smooth back, Adison Claire seemed to witness a ripple spreading from her back, causing a momentary distortion in her vision.
Astonished, Adison Claire rubbed her eyes but found nothing, as if what she’d seen was a mere illusion!
But before she could discern whether it was real or an illusion, she saw the silver needles in front of Xiang Yiting spontaneously fly out from her body, and she spat out a large mouthful of black blood, falling back into Xiao Tian’s arms.
Moreover, as she fell into Xiao Tian’s embrace, some black-stained blood began seeping spontaneously from the areas where the silver needles were previously inserted, resembling a layer of sludge if not carefully inspected.
These impurities were the culprits causing Xiang Yiting’s congenital meridian blockage. Upon detecting that her pulse was gradually recovering, Xiao Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wiping away the sweat from his face, and seeing the black impurities not exuding anymore from Xiang Yiting’s body, Adison Claire asked, "Should we wipe those things off her and dress her up first, lest she gets cold?"
Saying this, Adison Claire hugged her shoulders, as if to verify her words, seeming to feel cold.
Xiao Tian took off his jacket and draped it over Adison Claire, then said, "No rush, wait a moment!"
It’s not that Xiao Tian wanted to take advantage of Ji Dantong; rather he thought since things had reached this stage, he might as well improve Xiang Yiting’s constitution once and for all, fortunately making a thorough root cure to prevent future relapse.
Glancing at Adison Claire, whose eyes were darting and face was flushed, Xiao Tian found it slightly strange but guessed it was due to the cold, not dwelling on it.
After resting for a moment, Xiao Tian stood up, about to begin a comprehensive treatment for Xiang Yiting.
However, as he placed two fingers on Xiang Yiting’s pulse, he was instantly shocked as if by lightning, his eyes revealing an incredulous look...
It was a long while before Xiao Tian came to, and he instinctively exclaimed a curse: "Damn!"
Though Adison Claire wasn’t fluent in Huaxia Language, she understood that Xiao Tian’s words were no good things, causing her to furrow her brow and closely observe his every move.
At this moment, Xiao Tian had no idea how to express his feelings, what was meant by a pearl covered in dust? What was meant by a talent gone unnoticed?
Isn’t this person right in front of him?!
Xiao Tian’s astonishment stemmed from the astonishing discovery just now that shook his worldview... Xiang Yiting’s constitution had undergone an unexpected change.
To be precise, Xiang Yiting not only didn’t have congenital meridian blockages; on the contrary, her meridians were entirely open from birth!
Such a constitution is as if heaven-favored, capable of quickly comprehending and mastering any cultivation technique significantly faster than ordinary people.
Moreover, even without practicing any cultivation technique, she would naturally undergo True Qi baptism, and her meridians’ capacity and toughness were immeasurable by normal standards. Yet, without a cultivation technique, the Qi couldn’t be utilized.
If Xiang Yiting now found a suitable cultivation technique, she would absolutely be of genius caliber. After gaining entry-level mastery, her constitutional advantage would manifest greatly.
For most people, cultivation is merely practice, with no shortcuts, but for Xiang Yiting, this common perception does not apply.
In short, once Xiang Yiting could pass the entry-level barrier, eating, drinking, walking, and even lying in bed sleeping would be akin to cultivation for her. Her True Qi would naturally follow the path of the cultivation technique without her needing to consciously control it!
