Looking at my mother in her bed I couldn't help but feel my heart a little bit heavy, even if ii have a cure, no son would like to see his mother like that. Activating my [Sharingan] I started scanning and observing her whole, I don't want to miss something and aggravate even more her situation.
After scanning the room and my mother for some minutes I detected that everything is okay, taking a deep breath, and let [Ripple] cycle through my system I calm myself a bit. I went to the corner of the room and picked up a chair, putting the chair close to my mother I sat on it.
*Beep*
Another calming deep breath filled with [Ripple], I need to maintain my calm and not let my nervousness bled through, I can't mess it up. If I do something wrong my mother could die. I am not naive enough that just from feeding her the [Divine Dan] she will be cured instantly, no if the canon is to be believed the [Divine Dan] has too much energy that I will need to circulate for my mother.
Yes, I will literally need to circulate the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] for her and make sure the [Divine Dan] [Ki] is properly distributed. Why the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique]? because is the [Origin Technique] I have the most proficiency in. And as I said, I don't want to mess it up and kill my mother by accident.
*Beep*
So being nervous is out of the question, thankfully I discovered this side benefit of [Ripple] that calms me down, a godsend really.
Concentrating on the box in my hands I slowly went for its lock, It an 8 digit password I have to correctly match, thankfully I have already engraved these numbers in my mind the same time they were sent to me. Putting the number 24697830 I heard a satisfying click of the box slowly opening.
Opening the box its interior is as I expected, made completely out of green and smooth jade, probably to preserve the medicine inside, the was cool air inside of the box so the moment I opened it a thin vapor floated in the air.
This thin vapor was filled with [Ki] to such an extent that I was able to break through and reach the [Expert] level, it is not much as I was already extremely close to it, but I am honestly impressed with the capabilities of such medicine. After healing my mother I am definitely getting one of those for myself, the power boost is simply too good to pass it up.
The divine Dan is smooth, like a perfect sphere. If I was a child I may have confused it with some fancy candy, its color is red, blood red. Probably due to it being made literally from blood so this color is in no way surprising.
*Beep*
How will I administer this [Divine Dan] to my mother? By the mouth of course, at the end of the day, it is a pill, a divine pill alright, but a pill nonetheless. Adjusting my mother's bed for her to be in a sitting position I prepare myself.
Taking a deep breath I let [Ripple] cycle through me calming my nerves yet again. using [Ripple] I send some little shocks on my mother's face muscles enabling me to open her mouth slightly. Putting her face looking upwards I let the [Divine Dan] fall seamlessly through her, most likely close to teacher her stomach in few seconds.
*Beep*
The silence was deafening, I could almost hear the pin dropping sounds of the IV's. The [Ki], loads and load of [Ki] started gushing out of my mother, to my [Sharingan] it looked like some extremely dense aurora borealis. I didn't waste any time, immediately putting my right hand on my mother's back where her heart should be I sent my [Ki] on her body.
I felt like a small river dropping on the vast ocean, it was an extremely sobering thought. My mother has way more [Ki] than me that has been training it for months with a Top-notch technique, indeed a divine medicine.
But I did not falter, as I may have less [Ki]. But my [Ki] is more refined, more disciplined, more domesticated, using my knowledge of the human body I started guiding mother's [Ki], it was difficult, extremely difficult. But something strange happened, it was like her [Ki] recognizes mine...
That's... Wow, truly a mother. I can't think fo anything but that, I literally was born from her, my [Ki] once grew and was nurtured slowly on her uterus, her own [Ki] remembering mine was something only a mother could do.
Using the now new acceptance of her [Ki] guiding it was leagues easier, soon after some simple controlling exercises I had a good and firm grasp of it. I started circulating her [Ki] in the exact and specific pattern of the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique].
Her [Ki] channels felt dusty and rusty at first, like trying to spin a gear that never moved. But the [Divine Dan] was spectacular for things like this. It nurtured her rusty channels, thus when I passed and circulated the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] is flowed smoother and smoother becoming easier each cycle.
I began to grow tired, liking it or not I am exerting a lot of effort to do something like this, and if even someone like Chun-Woo had difficulty doing it, I am literally fighting an uphill battle, but in this case, the hill is made of swords, very sharp swords.
*Beep*
Thankfully due to her being my mother our [Ki] is relatively compatible, so I have a huge help in such an activity. but the effort was still tremendous, I started sweating, sweating a lot. but still continued circulating the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] making sure the ocean that si her [Ki] now could be properly distributed on her body.
But after some time her [Ki channels} started to become bloated, there was simply too much [Ki] for an extremely small channel. I know what I have to do, I need to apply the [Forth Step] on her as Chun-woo did for Shi-Woon. I need to expand her [Ki channels].
But before I could start the expansion process, something started sucking her [Ki] extremely quickly, it was like a suddenly hidden black hole started sucking and absorbing the [Ki]. her bloated [Ki channels] went back to normal, and even surprised as I was I simply continued circulating the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique].
She entered this cycle, I would circulate the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] until her [Ki Channels] bloated, and then the black hole would appear and suck the [Ki] to manageable levels. I don't know how many times I have done that but my eyes are growing heavy, my body started heating up from such an effort, my clothes are completely drenched from sweat. With how my body temperature is right now saying I have a fever is a complete understatement, I am literally abusing my [Ki Channels] with extreme friction doing this, and they started heating up in response. Fuck, I even started feeling pain...
But I know I can't stop, nor falter. because my mother's health is all on me right now. And if I am not mistaken that black hole sucking the [Ki] is probably the [Divine Dan] fighting her disease. And if the decreasing frequency is anything to go by she is extremely close to being cured.
This pill abilities are simply too monstrous. If what I felt from this disease is right... Fuck, [Divine Dan] is literally the only cure for this shit. I don't know anything that has both the [Ki] output and the medicinal effect of the [Divine Dan] to combat this thing. I just thank my luck and my efforts for me to be able to obtain something like this.
*Beep*
Does this last cycle seem to be... less strenuous? Could it be... Even with my suspicions of the disease already being cured I continued using the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique], mother's body growing more and more used to the technique. But if anyone looked at me right now they would be able to see the mess I became, so much sweat, my body si practically whole reddened with some sort of [Ki] usage-based fever, and I definitely feel very thirst right now, I swear I am going to drink a gallon of water when I finish this.
*Beep*
*Beep*
After some more cycles, I could feel something different, calmness? relaxation? I don't know exactly how to explain the sensation, only that I am an almost certain mother is cured right now. How do I know this? a feeling, and as much as imprecise as a feeling is, when becoming a cultivator you started trusting your feeling a lot more than logic. Liking it or not you measure most of the things when it comes to [Ki] based on sensations and feelings.
*Beep*
Of course, I don't trust my feelings completely yet, so with a herculean effort I activated my [Sharingan], my body long since too existed to do it, but my will, my [Spirit] was strong enough to overcome such limitation. My eyes, hurt a lot like they were dry and picky, but I still observed and analyzed my mother, and I was impressed.
*Beep*
She looked like she is at least 10 years younger than she ought to be, the few wrinkles she had completely disappeared giving place to smooth skin that would make a baby envious. Her asking was healthy and I can easily see the blood flowing on it with renewed vigor a vitality. Heck, I bet she could survive a shot through the heart right now with the amount of [Ki] and vitality she has. using my [Sharingan] I could see and analyze her cells, Healthy, exceptionally so. I couldn't even find any traces of the disease, and judging by her now calm and normal [Ki] flow she assimilated the [Divine Dan] splendidly.
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
I let out a sigh of relief, she is cured. Finally, she is healed. I simply relaxed on the chair I sat on, my body immediately protesting and showing how much I pushed it to ensure her safety. My muscles burn and my channels started cooling off, my [Ki] is on zero, it is kinda even a miracle I am even awake, to be honest.
I feel that my eyes are heavy and monumental exhaustion and tiredness started overtaking me, I started blinking slower and slower, my eyes becoming more and more difficult to open again. But then I started hearing a strange sound *Beep*, *Beep*, *Beep*. My [Sharingan] long since deactivated due to how exhausted I was, suddenly the lights that until now perfectly illuminated the room started looking less and less bright, my eyes more and more closed. That sound *Beep*,*Beep*, *Beep* never-ceasing never stoping. But then...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
An explosion engulfed the room, inexplicable pain like I never felt before assaulted me, with my dry through I screamed and screamed as the explosion burned, turned, and pierced me with the sole objective of destruction. Debris carried by the multiple shockwaves penetrated and pierced my skin, making my burned and sorry state look even worse.
I've long since lost sight of my mother, which too was carried by the explosion, my conscience entered in overdrive thinking about the innumerable different possibilities. But I couldn't think anymore more when something shot from the edge of my vision, a molten steel bar, with supersonic speed hit me in my ribcage. The shock and the pain were so immense, that I immediately black out, my only future prospects an early death.
