Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Zhou Xi, placed the shrapnel in her hand on the tray in Zhou Xi's hand, and continued her "treatment".
The wound on General Zhou's left rib closed instantly, without even a drop of blood spilling. Under the influence of the spiritual energy from Zhou Yuanyuan's fingertips, General Zhou's wound began to heal immediately.
Zhou Xi stood by, watching without blinking, his heart filled with turmoil. From Zhou Yuanyuan's smooth movements, Zhou Xi could tell that she was even more powerful than his master, Taoist Baopu. Although Taoist Baopu was also a cultivator, he didn't have the ability to heal a wound instantly.
Zhou Xi didn't know that a cultivator's spiritual energy was extremely precious. Even a month of ordinary cultivation wouldn't yield as much spiritual energy as Zhou Yuanyuan was using on General Zhou. Spiritual energy was hard-earned, so cultivators were reluctant to waste it on others. It wasn't that Taoist Baopu didn't have the ability to heal wounds, but he simply couldn't bear to expend it on such a trivial task. In Taoist Baopu's view, a wound would only take a few more days to heal; he wouldn't waste spiritual energy on such a lavish act.
Zhou Yuanyuan was different. Her spiritual energy cultivation speed was several times faster than the average person. General Zhou's wound from the shrapnel removal hadn't healed, hindering her ability to comb through his meridians. General Zhou had numerous hidden injuries, and Zhou Yuanyuan not only had to expel the poison but also heal them. Otherwise, her efforts would have been wasted.
Half an hour later, after Zhou Yuanyuan had finished tracing General Zhou's meridians, she took out a hollow silver needle and pierced his fingertip. A small stream of black blood flowed from General Zhou's fingertip along the needle and into a glass bottle Zhou Yuanyuan had prepared. Half a minute later, the bottle contained about 100 milliliters of blood, and the blood from General Zhou's fingertip had turned bright red.
Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out a finger and tapped General Zhou's finger. A trace of rich spiritual energy quickly rushed into General Zhou's body.
Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. This was Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy. Why was Xiaoyu, such a stingy guy, willing to give up her spiritual energy today?
General Zhou was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy. He felt that he had no strength at all and just wanted to sleep.
In a daze, General Zhou heard Zhou Xi's voice and the voice of an unfamiliar man. Then, these voices seemed to gradually move away from him, and General Zhou fell into darkness.
"Zhou Jinyu, give me back my life!" A ray of light appeared in front, and several evil ghosts with bared fangs and claws rushed towards Zhou Jinyu.
General Zhou took a closer look and saw that they were high-ranking officers from the enemy army, defeated by him in past battles. These men were Zhou Jinyu's sworn enemies, but no match for him, having been defeated in battle after battle. Several had died on the battlefield, while another had committed seppuku after his defeat.
Humph! You were no match for me when you were alive, and now you want to seek revenge on me after you die? I, Zhou Jinyu, am not afraid! I'm waiting for you!
Zhou Jinyu's heroic spirit surged, and the evil ghosts screamed and turned into flying smoke one by one.
At that moment, Zhou Jinyu felt a cool sensation at his fingertips as a warm breath entered his body. General Zhou's entire arm grew warm, followed by his torso, then his head... The warm breath slowly moved through General Zhou's body, washing away the impurities wherever it passed like a clear spring. General Zhou felt light and airy, as if he were soaking in warm water, and all his pores opened comfortably.
General Zhou didn't know that, having absorbed a ray of Xiaoyu's spiritual energy, even in his coma, the dirt in his body was constantly being expelled through his pores. Soon, General Zhou's body surface turned into a black mass, and the room was filled with a foul odor.
Zhou Yuanyuan pinched her nose and motioned Zhou Xi to talk outside.
Xiaoyu's spiritual energy had the power to cleanse the marrow and slough off hair. Zhou Yuanyuan knew General Zhou's "detoxification" would last another half hour or so. At least he was safe now, so it was time for her and her grandfather to "retire." Most importantly, Zhou Yuanyuan's five senses were too acute. The stench from General Zhou's room was magnified many times over at her nose. It was truly unpleasant.
"Young Miss, how's the master?" The moment Xiaoyu's spiritual energy entered General Zhou's fingertips, Zhou Xi could already sense a richer, more delicate aura than the one he'd experienced at Wen Yiran's house. A smile of surprise crossed his face. It seemed his guess was correct; Zhou Yuanyuan was the "mastermind" behind the Wen family's recent recovery. After her dedicated treatment, he expected the master, like Wen Yiran, to recover soon.
Zhou Yuanyuan already knew her life experience, so Zhou Xi stopped being timid and took the initiative to change his address to "Miss".
"It's okay. Let him take a good bath later. Grandpa and I will be leaving first." Zhou Yuanyuan admired Zhou Xi's loyalty and, without further suspense, told him the results of the treatment. Humph! With her help, and Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy, General Zhou wouldn't be able to die anytime soon even if he wanted to. Anyway, the job was done, and it was time for her to leave.
"Also, don't get startled if he becomes too young later." Zhou Yuanyuan thought for a moment before adding another instruction. This time, General Zhou had a blessing in disguise. Not only had Zhou Yuanyuan completely eliminated all the hidden dangers in his body, but Xiaoyu's spiritual energy would continue to nourish his meridians and body. Perhaps by the time he woke up, his white hair would have turned jet black.
"Thank you, young lady. When the master wakes up, Zhou Xi will come to thank you again!" Zhou Xi made up his mind in an instant. While everyone's misunderstanding is not too deep, he should quickly make some amends! Sometimes, blood ties cannot withstand unfounded speculation.
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded and said nothing more. To be honest, Zhou Xi and General Zhou's probing of her family did make her unhappy.
Only after Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Qingshan got into the car that Xiao Zhu had taken them away did Zhou Yuanyuan have time to call Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, didn't you say your spiritual energy is very precious? Why are you willing to use it today?"
"Master, Xiaoyu is... Xiaoyu just wants to get some merit." Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, but did not dare to hide it from Zhou Yuanyuan.
"What?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a bit confused. She knew about merit. Last time, her uncle Zhao Guohui accidentally saved Tie Zhu's mother and his two children, and he had gained a trace of merit. Xiaoyu explained that this was because Tie Zhu's mother and the two children were pure and kind people. The sincere gratitude of pure and kind people would form a trace of merit, which would be returned to those who helped them.
