Chapter 877: Chapter 877

In the True Martial Realm, a martial artist with one type of Innate Spiritual Root was called an "Innate Spirit Body".

The "Innate Spirit Body" was among the cream of the crop in martial artists, also seen as a Martial Dao Genius.

A martial artist possessing two Innate Spiritual Roots, on the other hand, was termed the "Extraordinary Holy Body", meaning that their future cultivation level could surpass the ordinary and become saintly, shedding the mundane flesh.

The "Extraordinary Holy Body" was a favored child of heaven among martial artists, destined to achieve great success on the path of Martial Dao.

As for those martial artists who combined three Innate Spiritual Roots, they were called "Great Luo Immortal Body", implying that they could verify the Dao through martial prowess and ascend to become immortals.

The "Great Luo Immortal Body" was a monstrous existence among martial artists. According to Linghu Hongyan, such a prodigious talent rarely appeared in the entire True Martial Realm, possibly once in a thousand years.

If Fang Bai truly possessed three Innate Spiritual Roots, becoming a "Great Luo Immortal Body", then his future achievements would be immeasurable; he might even verify the Dao and ascend to reach a higher plane of existence as mentioned in legends.

Thus, when Fang Bai had just tested for water and fire elements using the Ruyi Stone and then took out a pile of Wood Element Stones, Linghu Hongyan guessed he might be the "Great Luo Immortal Body" possessing three Innate Spiritual Roots, prompting her to ask a question involuntarily.

As she inquired, her gaze was fixed intently on Fang Bai’s face,, her body trembling slightly from nervous excitement.

If it were indeed as she speculated, and Fang Bai was the "Great Luo Immortal Body", then having her two disciples befriend him would greatly benefit her sect, the Xuannv Sect, in the future.

Regarding Linghu Hongyan’s speculation, Fang Bai merely smiled indifferently. He neither confirmed nor denied it.

In Linghu Hongyan’s eyes, his demeanor amounted to a tacit acknowledgment.

Had she known that Fang Bai was not just a "Great Luo Immortal Body" but a "Chaos True Body" with seven Innate Spiritual Roots, a rarity even in the Immortal Realm, what would her thoughts have been?

"Miss Linghu, let us begin..."

Fang Bai picked up the Wood Needle from the Five Elements Acupuncture Set and spoke sternly.

"Then please, Senior Fang!"

Fang Bai’s words interrupted the various thoughts swirling in Linghu Hongyan’s mind, and also increased her confidence in Fang Bai’s medical skills.

Under Fang Bai’s direction, the two Linghu sisters helped Linghu Hongyan to remove her outer clothing, leaving only a thin undergarment. Then Fang Bai focused his mind and began the treatment.

Fang Bai’s fingers moved slightly, and the Wood Needle was inserted into an important acupoint on Linghu Hongyan’s body, followed by a strand of Wood Element Qi entering her meridians.

The Wood Needle and Wood Element Qi both had the function of stimulating the potential of life; this needle laid the foundation for the subsequent treatment.

Fang Bai moved his fingers again, and as the Water Needle dropped and punctured another acupoint on Linghu Hongyan, a wisp of Water Element Qi passed through the needle into her body.

The Water Needle and the Water Element Qi, with their healing properties, allowed the Water Element Qi from Fang Bai’s Qi Sea to continuously flow into Linghu Hongyan’s meridians, rapidly healing and repairing the broken and damaged meridians within her body.

Immediately after, Fang Bai’s fingers moved in succession, and the remaining Gold, Fire, and Earth needles were inserted into Linghu Hongyan one after the other, with Gold, Fire, and Earth Qi also beginning to flow into her body through the needles.

As the Five Elements Origin Qi constantly flowed in, Linghu Hongyan’s injuries healed rapidly, her internal imbalance of Yin and Yang adjusted, and her mental state visibly improved.

Standing by the bedside, barely daring to breathe, Linghu’s two sisters had been fixated on their master’s face the whole time. Seeing her complexion improve and her breath become stable and even, feeling the Qi fluctuations around her grow stronger, they knew Fang Bai’s treatment was effective and exchanged excited glances, almost cheering aloud.

Linghu Hongyan herself could distinctly feel the changes occurring within her. If she could look inward, she would see her damaged meridians being rapidly repaired and her broken meridians being reconnected. The Qi that had been unable to circulate due to the damage was now beginning to emerge from the Qi Sea and circulate through the meridians.

A moment later, Linghu Hongyan felt a warm sensation throughout her body, bringing an unprecedented sense of fatigue, and she unknowingly fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, two hours had passed, and her two disciples were sitting by the bed chatting with Fang Bai.

Linghu Hongyan had suffered from cultivation deviation and had been paralyzed for many years. Upon waking, she attempted to sit up as usual, by pushing against the bed with her arms. Unexpectedly, when her palms touched the bed, a wisp of Qi suddenly burst forth from her Qi Sea to her palms, and she effortlessly leapt from the bed.

"Congratulations, master, on your full recovery and the return of your strength!"

While chatting with Fang Bai, Linghu’s two sisters had heard him say that their master’s strength would return to normal after she woke up. Seeing the strong Qi fluctuations emanating from her body, they were overjoyed, stood up, and said in unison.

"My strength has returned ... my strength has returned ..."

Linghu Hongyan leapt from the bed, landed on the ground, looked down at her palms, and sensed the undying Qi in her Qi Sea and its circulation through her meridians, murmuring to herself while tears streamed down her face.

Over the years, Linghu Hongyan had tried countless ways to heal her injuries and restore her former strength, but all had failed, only worsening her condition. Just recently, she even felt a sensation of a final flicker before death, which led her to ask Fang Bai for three favors as a way to settle her affairs.

Earlier, when Fang Bai spoke of healing her injuries and restoring her strength, she was hesitant to believe him, thinking it would take a miracle. But after two hours, a miracle really did happen to her.

From a dying woman to fully recovered injuries and restored peak strength, this transformation was like a rebirth for Linghu Hongyan, a reincarnation.

Feeling the long-lost strength within her body, Linghu Hongyan trembled with excitement. She wiped away her tears, dashed out of the hall like lightning, soared through the icy landscape, jumped to the summit of a nearby mountain, and howled up to the sky, her voice echoing across the land.

Linghu’s two sisters, not understanding what was happening, immediately followed out of the hall, looking anxiously at their master on the distant mountain peak.

Fang Bai walked up to Linghu’s two sisters, glanced at Linghu Hongyan, and smilingly said, "Your master has been depressed and resentful for all these years, suppressing her feelings for too long. She needed this release. Don’t worry, she’ll be fine soon."
