Tang Yi had only just condensed a trace of Innate Qi, and attempting to help someone break through their meridians with merely this sliver of Innate Qi was indeed a tremendous test for the little strength he currently possessed.
However, Tang Yi had to do this because Wang Xiaocao's condition was similar to that of Elder Jin, both having suffered injuries to the tendons of the lungs—one from an internal injury and the other from an external wound. Nevertheless, both resulted in an obstruction of the lung meridians. If he did not remove the root of the ailment and clear the meridians for Wang Xiaocao now, she would end up suffering from continuous illnesses in her old age, just like Elder Jin.
Yet, most critically, Wang Xiaocao, coming from a poor background, could not afford to prolong her life with wealth like Elder Jin had done. Moreover, such blockages in the meridians would only worsen over time.
