He got no sympathy from those gathered who couldn't afford such a pill. The Hamlet Leader was at the Peak of Body Tempering and could only dream of stepping into the Qi Condensation Realm still.
The rest of the people still had hope of stepping into the Qi Condensation Realm and a few even dreamed of stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm. The additional years it gave made them willing even more so to commit hardworking to reaching those goals.
With the blood spilled from the removal of the eggs already, Tang Suo instructed them on how to test the tissue. It was so simple that Leroy was shocked into silence.
Equal parts wonder and the other had him thinking this place was full of Witchcraft and Sorcery. The blood of the Teacher was splashed onto the bodies as he used his dropping Qi reserves to refine a few of them.
"Ughh! Those will do!" Hand dropping to the ground, Tang Suo was about to faint from exhaustion. Which would not do if he wanted to survive this now. "The rest would take too long to Refine to work with your procedure!"
Votley cut large sections of what Leroy called the Medial Cutaneous Nerve of the arm and the Cutaneous Nerve of the forearm. Both of these areas were damaged in the patient so they wanted to use this to help make it easier.
The donor body, if it could even be called that, matched in gender and body length for this to work. Maybe a slight difference in the two's arm length of about a single centimeter. Considering the damaged portion in Tang Suo, that may work in his favor.
Cutting the first sections was the first good process since they started this part. Lack of spores and damage to the outer muscles made them more hopeful. Leroy was afraid when they took out the eggs before they may have damaged something.
Parts of the arm nerves were replaced quickly with Tang Suo immediately sending Qi to refine it. However, this proved to be really harmful to the other damaged tissue in his body.
*Splurt!* Blood veins rupture sending fluid into the area. Now the operating area became harder to tell apart. Which was bad enough since they were using their eyes to see specifically. Relying on touch was not the best but it had to be done.
"Unless you can completely control your Qi to send a little through to help when I needed it, I suggest waiting until after we finish."
"You have about 3 minutes until I lose any more Qi. Whatever you can save will have to be it."
"That is not enough time!" Votley did not like the timetable at all and was starting to fret seeing the powerful cultivator health deteriate. "If I cut out the rest of the damaged tissue and you do the replacing only... will that help?"
Leroy looked over the damaged areas that he cut out several eggs earlier. It was going to be pretty difficult to do in three minutes but it was better than nothing. Hopefully, this cultivator had a way to fix the other damage himself.
"Let's do it." Leroy was able to prepare the tissue from the donors a lot easier since every time he looked over Votley cut off the nerves like skinning a rabbit tendon. 'Not bad at all...' A few muscles were damaged in the process but the man knew more about muscle recovery with Cultivation than Leroy.
At the 4-minute mark, Tang Suo sent the Qi through his body. With the willpower of a demon the injured teacher had held on to his Cultivation bitterly. It paid off as his body starved for the Qi and healed itself all over.
"Step back!" Leroy didn't know what made him call out but he did. 'What the hell was that feeling of danger?'
*Boom!* A wave of powerful Qi erupted out sending the donors and Hamlet members across the dirt. Leroy had barely dodged a set of needles almost stabbing into him. If not for that feeling it would have really been bad for him.
It took a while before the dust settled.
"Kuff.. kuff! What the hell man?!" Leroy was quite angry as he got up. "Whatever you took better be worth it just then!"
"Ha..ha... I am sorry but I couldn't miss the chance. I took A Qi Boosting Pill hoping it would make up for the Qi I lost. Even though I have fallen so low in Realm I still can resist the drawbacks. Thank you for your help." Seeing the bewildered looks he clarified. Speaking like his profession as a teacher. "Qi Boosting Pills allow one to increase the Tier of their Qi briefly into that of one higher. before it poisons the Cultivation since the Cultivator is not really in the higher Realm. But I fell back even though my Qi is higher than my body right now."
"So how damaged are you now?" Leroy was following along in the sense he got the man was able to ignore the drawback. Tang Suo was back in the Foundation Establishment Realm as the Qi Boosting Pill settled pretty quickly. 'He may not be what he was before but at least he returns back to the Foundation Realm.'
"I have about 30% damage to my Body internally. Not to mention the small damaged to my Meridians." Turning to the side, he pulled the eggs that were all in a tub not to far away. "Good preparation to keep them contained."
Leroy's eyes squinted a little as he planned on cutting the eggs open or cooking to see if he could do something with them. Not to mention they had really pure qi inside.
"But I should be able to recover if I cultivate with these."
The eggs had not only Tang Suo's qi inside but it also had the qi of the Demon Plant. It had damn near taken his life and then some but if he cultivated the eggs successfully he might even develop a new technique and gain some enlightenment in the way they work.
As the Hamlet members cleaned up after making sure each other were okay, Leroy was writing down what happened in case they came across more later. Seeing tissue regrow with the naked eye was an experience he would never forget. But also beg the question of how much the Body Tempering Realm and the Qi Refining Realm differ.
With the attitude of Tang suo he didn't bother to much with recommending Physical Therapy.
"Who developed the procedure?" Tang Suo looked at Leroy and Votley in intrest. Despite focusing on keeping as much of his cultivation as possible he was aware of these two doing all the work. "No one has successfully treated the Sucking Plant that I know of so successfully. In fact, I didn't expect to even live."
"The initial method was developed by a practitioner called Razes. However, so many people have added on and put it into an application that I cannot specifically say. The medicine field is an ever-changing field." Leroy had no real idea who invented the procedure back on his Earth. That was learned a long time ago and they focused more on studying and practicing than the people who had published the papers and whatnot. "Of course, those I learned from are long gone now."
So long gone that they were in another Dimension.
Details on what happened before and after were exchanged. As well as a small reward for those who helped. Something the Hamlet desperately wanted. Which had them leave Leroy and the Old Tiger alone in his dirty yard.
"Purrr?" The Old Tiger watched as Leroy wrapped his arms up in the rags from the deceased. 'What is this Human doing now?'
Once the rags were wrapped tightly around his arms, Leroy soaked them in the medicine balm and then rolled his arms in the Red Powder after adding in some dirt.
Not too far off the vines were on the ground twitching a little. The fact they didn't die out was a testament to the survivability of the Demon Plant. It had been hours after all since they were originally detached from it and about half that time since pulled from Tang Suo.
"So far so good..." Picking up the vines he cautiously inspected them, while cutting them in half after no eggs looked to be there. "...some of that..sap to keep it alive inside certain tissue.. or is that the paralytic?"
Finding two different color secretions he remembered back to the polyps specifically. The puss released when cutting them open and pulling out the eggs were all light yellow.
"The damaged tissue.. let's look at the closer." Turning to those he found the Old Tiger sniffing at the cutout tissue put swiping at it in disgust. Looking closely one of the secretions was there. "Ok.. so most likely the paralytic. I mean it is in the muscles a little after all this time to."
Of course, that was not counting in the fact of the running and just the overall exertion that took place.
"Scrw it, let's try to extract it from the leftover tissue as well in the vines period. If become numb or slow down at all I will have my answers a little more." The paralytic was too good to pass up since it worked on someone so strong. "Need more jars..."
The clay pots and glass containers he had were very low in number. Not to mention the clay could cause a slight contamination.
