Chapter 1066: Chapter 1059: Gathering Qi to Break the Door

"So, are you saying that we are completely out of options regarding her illness now?" Tangmo said somewhat deflatedly, pursing his lips.

Upon hearing her words, Luo’er pondered for a moment and then looked at the Wolfwoman and asked, "If there really is no one to help her open the Sheng Gate, is there another way?"

"Well," after hearing the translation, the Wolfwoman thought for a moment and then seriously said, "Regarding the injuries of cultivators from the East Continent Clan, we are not very clear either; it’s only recorded in books. I can only offer my hypothesis that if her energy is strong and robust enough, she could gather qi in Qitian and break through the blocked gate herself, but this might be extremely painful."

"But, if her injury gate is sealed off, how can she gather qi?" Luo’er continued to ask.

"As I have mentioned before," the Wolfwoman patiently explained, "the sealed injury gate only restricts her from using qi to attack and does not prevent her from gathering qi into Qitian. The Sheng Gate is situated at the front meridian, and her back meridian as well as the meridians in her lower limbs are all intact, so she can definitely gather qi."

"I am enlightened," Luo’er nodded, looking somewhat dejected, lowering his head.

"If we speak of breaking through a seal, I do have a suitable person in mind," Tangmo suddenly remembered something and said excitedly.

"Who?" Luo’er asked with surprise.

"An ancestor from the Ziang’s Family, that Liseya, isn’t her attack mode gathering magical power to inflict damage on the body? Initially, she attacked Feng once and didn’t manage to hurt her much. If she could accurately inject magic power into Feng’s Sheng Gate, couldn’t that directly break the constraints on Feng?" Tangmo said.

Hearing her answer, Luo’er sighed and then shook his head, "It’s too much to head back to the Snow Domain now..."

"I didn’t say we should go find Liseya; Liseya is a demigod. Don’t we have a demigod too?" Tangmo reminded him.

"Ah," Luo’er was startled and suddenly realized, "You mean Fula!"

However, amidst the joy, Luo’er fell back into worry, "But Fula, she hasn’t really practiced magic specifically, and she might not be able to achieve the same effect as Liseya. After all, Liseya has been killing for hundreds of years and is inherently a Mage..."

"We could start teaching her now, she’ll eventually learn, right." Tangmo said and excitedly pulled out her Magic Wand, ready to summon Fulajie’er.

"Wait, she and Ziang went to interrogate that guy. If we can find a solution there, maybe it won’t be all that troublesome," Luo’er stopped her and said.

"You expect that guy to help Feng open the injury gate? What are you thinking?" Tangmo pointed outside and said.

"Let’s take it slow; as long as she doesn’t use magic, Feng will be alright. We can put this matter on hold for now, no need to rush. If her injury can’t be resolved soon, let’s have her return to the base and rest for a while," Luo’er said.

"Are you thinking of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?" Tangmo stared at Luo’er and asked very seriously.

"What do you mean by crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? Don’t say it so harshly. Haven’t Feng helped us achieve so much in all directions, is letting her rest for a while really that bad?" Luo’er said helplessly.

"She’s never been to the south though," Tangmo said.

"Oh, don’t nitpick the words," Luo’er replied.

"I don’t want to go back..." Feng, tugging at Luo’er’s sleeve, said in a pitiable manner.

"You all... why doesn’t anyone want to listen to me, who is the Captain here?" Luo’er looked left and right at the two of them and asked.

"You always like to do things that move yourself, ignoring others’ feelings, all under the pretext of ’it’s for your own good’. To put it bluntly, it’s moving yourself, disgusting others," Tangmo said dimly.

Luo’er opened his mouth, but was left speechless by Tangmo’s words, not knowing how to respond. It was unexpected; when had her eloquence become so sharp, rebuking people just as well as her sister did.

Luo’er looked at her, sighed deeply, then frowned and respectfully asked the Wolfwoman, "Since you are so wise, do you perhaps have a method of healing?"

"I have already said, I am powerless against this disease," she paused, the female Wolfman biting her lip, then said, "You could try letting her break through on her own. I’ll write a prescription here, and you can gather some herbs and make a decoction for her to drink. That should alleviate the pain she experiences when breaking through the Sheng Gate."

"Thank you for your efforts." Luo’er nodded, then suddenly coughed out of nowhere.

"Hmm?" Noticing Luo’er’s cough, the female Wolfman squinted at him and then hesitantly said, "Your face seems a bit pale, and your voice sounds a bit off. Are you sick?"

"Not at all, my body is perfectly fine," Luo’er said with a smile, waving his hand.

"Doctor, what’s wrong with his body, you must tell us if there’s anything," unlike Luo’er’s nonchalant attitude, Tangmo grabbed Luo’er’s arm and then looked at the female Wolfman expectantly.

"Hmm..." The female Wolfman stared at Luo’er and then said seriously, "We have been living isolated in the valley and haven’t had much contact with outsiders, so our medical skills are usually only applied to our own kind. Seeing that there’s a clear difference between our race and other races, I can’t guarantee the accuracy of my diagnosis. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me."

"No, no, please speak freely. We won’t blame you," Tangmo hurriedly said.

The female Wolfman didn’t speak further but started observing Luo’er. Finally, she boldly grasped Luo’er’s arm, holding it tightly in her hand, narrowing her eyes as she felt his heartbeat.

"Mr. Luo’er, may I touch your chest?" the female Wolfman asked, as she let go of Luo’er’s arm and reached out to him.

"Ah, this..." Luo’er hesitated, but his shirt buttons had already been unfastened by Tangmo taking the initiative.

"Come on, feel free to touch. If it’s for Luo’er’s health, I can suffer a little loss," Tangmo invited.

"This is my loss..." Luo’er said with a bitter smile as he looked at her.

The female Wolfman didn’t mind at all and directly placed her palm on the left side of Luo’er’s chest, continuing to narrow her eyes as she felt Luo’er’s heartbeat and each breath’s rise and fall.

Eventually, she let go, clenched her hand into a fist, and said with her head down, "Mr. Luo’er must have been injured before, an internal injury?"

"How did you know?" Luo’er blinked, looking at her surprisingly.

"Your breathing has a tremor, and the Qi flows with difficulty within your body, probably because your organs were damaged by Qi before, which causes your body to resist the flow of Qi. Although your injury has mostly healed, it inevitably still has some sequelae..." the female Wolfman said quietly.

"This..." Luo’er widened his eyes in surprise because she was almost spot on.

Luo’er’s body had indeed been damaged, what is referred to as ’organs damaged by Qi’, likely refers to the organs being eroded by magic power. Luo’er had, in fact, been eroded by magic power before and although he later went to Ilanadale for treatment, it was not completely cured, inevitably leaving some aftereffects.

"Ah, it’s really shameful that Captain Luo’er, who has injuries, did not tell us and still toiled day and night for our sake," Feron couldn’t help but feel concerned about Luo’er after completing the translation.

"Is there no way to heal him?" Tangmo asked excitedly.

The reason she was so excited was that Luo’er’s injuries were mostly caused by her, so she had always felt guilty towards Luo’er and had tried everything to cure the aftereffects of his body.

Previously, when Luo’er was treated in Ilanadale, she thought he was cured, but it turned out that there were still aftereffects.

It was for this reason that every time it was quiet at night, the moment Tangmo thought about how she had hurt—and even nearly killed—Luo’er, she would feel an intense regret, wishing she could go back in time and chop off the hands of her former self.

"This disease is nearly incurable; the best we can do is to take good care of the body. I can write a prescription, and Mr. Luo’er can find the herbs and prepare them according to it, which should bring his body to the best possible condition under the circumstances," the female Wolfman shook her head and said.

"There isn’t even a slight hope?" Tangmo blinked at her, her voice trembling. The reason she was trying hard to blink was because her tears were about to fall.
