Chapter 52 - Treating the Illness

Wushang looked at Raven with wide open eyes . He was certain that he had not mentioned anything about his illness and he had not felt Divine Sense scanning his body either . So Wushang was truly surprised about how did this young man in front of him managed to guess his illness so accurately.

In fact no one inside the Sect knew about this illness including his own 3 disciples . Wushang was afraid that the selfish personality of those 3 would be ignited and internal war would soon follow within the Sect. That's why Wushang was against the founding of Factions inside the Sect but he was sadly powerless to stop them either. Due to these injuries , his battle powers have been halved and for the past century , he had been unable to advance in cultivation.

When he was young , Wushang was talented so he too wanted to leave this backward region and explore the huge world . But sadly his Hopes were crushed after the battle with several Level 4 beasts who had interrupted his advancement to Martial General Realm . He had to face despair at the most crucial moment of his life . But he managed to change and became the Sect Leader of Floating Cloud Sect in the end . He started reading books and cultivating herbs to pass his time . Unknowingly so much time passed and he would die in the next few years . But right then , a young enormously talented Disciple came and said the words that his small ailment could be cured and he could live for another fifty years .

Wushang had patience so he forcefully calmed himself down and evaluated Raven once more . In the end he could not find any trace of lies from the young man . From his temperament, Raven also did not seem to be joke about such things . Wushang experienced so many emotions in seconds and in the end chose to believe the young man because he had nothing to lose anyway and the hope Raven gave him ignited the sleeping emotions inside Wushang which screamed to not let this chance go . This intuition had saved Wushang's life many times in the past , so he chose to follow them once more .

" Are you certain , young Raven ! This old man has been suffering for a century and can only places his Hopes in your young capable hands . " Wushang looked at the sky and said in a deep voice which told Raven that Wushang seemed to have mistaken his intentions.

" Hahaha.. dont worry Sect Leader , you will be fine in seconds . So there is no need to think too much . I have learned some skills from my master so just give me a few qi conductive needles and see the magic for yourself ! "

Raven hurriedly explained himself because it looked like Wushang had made the decision to die trying . Raven did not know whether to laugh or cry as his condition was truly very simple for Raven to cure . There was no need to fear any complications during the process at all .

Wushang did not say anything and took out a jade box containing several thin silver needles. Raven was impressed by the quality as these needles were of high grade according to his memories. Still Raven did not plan to ask Wushang about their origins as he wanted to get this over with quickly .

Raven just asked Wushang to lie down on the bed and stabbed seven needles into his bare chest . Raven then sent some of qi inside the chest through the needles and magically, the needles changed colour to black . In seconds black impurities were forced out from the needles and Raven took back the needles after exact twenty seconds .

Raven wiped off the small amount of sweat from his forehead and smiled " Hehe.. Look Sect Leader, you are fine now but dont cultivate right now because if my guess is correct then the Element Seed inside your body will absorb qi at too fast speed for a while . So find a secluded place and cultivate there . "

Wushang was currently too much confused as he could feel that his blocked accupoints were now cleared completely. This was too good news that Wushang wanted to cry but fortunately the years of patience worked and his was able to calm down a little and recalled that Raven was standing there at his side .

He honestly did not know how to thank this Frank young man . As he could bow being an Elder and Raven did not want something like this either . Wushang himself was currently confused and wanted to cultivate right now because he knew that he wont feel pain anymore and could smoothly advance in cultivation .
