The Medical Guru

Chapter 1371 Bodhi Fruit, Jade, Great Hand of Destruction!

Fang Qiu had sensed what might happen.

Sword Fanatic’s heart died because all his hopes were dashed to pieces — he had lost his kung fu and could no longer practice swordsmanship. Thus, Fang Qiu knew he had to seize this last chance. Otherwise, even if Fang Qiu saved and cured him, Sword Fanatic would become worthless, living a meaningless life like a zombie.

Fang Qiu even feared that Sword Fanatic would commit suicide.

After much thought, he brought Sword Fanatic to a hotel in the city. For one thing, Sword Fanatic was seriously injured. Since he could not move, he would not do such things like jumping off a building. For another, the hotel staff would notice the abnormal situation in the first place and help.

Sword Fanatic must have lost his desire to live. After all, he was severely wounded, and his kung fu was ruined. In these adverse circumstances, he was easily susceptible to depression!

Most importantly, Sword Fanatic’s tragedy was caused by Fang Qiu.

If Sword Fanatic became disabled or killed himself because of this, Fang Qiu would live in pain and guilt for the rest of his life.

Therefore…

Without a moment of hesitation…

Fang Qiu left the hotel, came to the airport, and flew back to Beijiang.

This trip…

It took him three hours.

Back at the cultivation base…

Fang Qiu got the Bodhi Fruit, a few pieces of jade, and some healing medicine. Then he quickly returned to Canglin City in Nanjiang Province.

He spent six and a half hours going back and forth.

Finally, Fang Qiu returned to the hotel in Canglin City.

As soon as he entered the door…

Fang Qiu saw that Sword Fanatic sat on the ground beside the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows, just looking out.

“Big brother.”

Fang Qiu called out.

Sword Fanatic turned around and glanced at Fang Qiu, his lips ghastly pale. Then, he struggled to her feet with difficulty.

After six and a half hours of recovery…

His physical condition was slightly better, and he was no longer as feeble as before. At least he could support himself to stand up.

“Are you in a panic?”

Eyes on Fang Qiu, Sword Fanatic managed a weak smile on his pallid face and said, “Are you afraid of me killing myself?”

“Er…”

Fang Qiu paused.

“As a martial arts practitioner, I am not that vulnerable.”

Sword Fanatic shook his head with a smile, saying, “The world is very wonderful. Whenever difficulties emerge, people can always surmount them. A cripple can also practice the sword, right?”

“I love the sword, not the violent force.”

When Fang Qiu heard this…

He suddenly let out a sigh of relief. “You came to an understanding about this.”

“I didn’t become enlightened at once. All the time I know it.”

Sword Fanatic pointed to his head and continued, “I’m fully aware of my physical condition. Don’t worry about me. It wasn’t your fault. When I was powerful, I rose gallantly to the occasion or dealt with troublemakers. I have nothing to worry about now. Out of kung fu, out of care. When I recover, I’ll find a city like this to live in. Like those old men in the parks, I practice my sword there every day, and no one will disturb me. Won’t that great?”

Fang Qiu listened carefully to what he said.

Suddenly, he saw Sword Fanatic in a new light.

Sword Fanatic seemed to have changed.

He was a changed man, but from his eyes and his words, Fang Qiu knew his passion for the sword remained undimmed. Instead, he became even more persistent.

This change looked casual.

But hadn’t masters in Wulin been pursuing such an unrestrained manner?

“Big brother.”

Fang Qiu stepped forward, helped Sword Fanatic up, and said, “I’ve found it. No matter what, there is still a slim chance. We have to give it a try.”

“Alright.”

Sword Fanatic smiled faintly.

He still thought it was impossible, yet he couldn’t bear to see John Doe’s guilty look. Since he didn’t want Fang Qiu to blame himself for the rest of his life, he could only satisfy John Doe and let him try. Perhaps, it could relieve the sense of guilt in John Doe’s heart.

After Sword Fanatic’s definite reply…

Fang Qiu asked him to sit down on the spot.

Then…

He took out the Bodhi Fruit, handed it to Sword Fanatic, and said, “This is the Bodhi Fruit, ranked ninth on the Heaven Treasure List. Keep it in your mouth first. When I ask you to eat it, you should chew it into pieces.”

Sword Fanatic did as he was told.

Then, Fang Qiu took out the jade and set up a small terrain formation, enveloping himself and Sword Fanatic. With a wave of his hand, he opened all the windows in the room.

“Before everything else, let me examine you.”

Fang Qiu drew a deep breath and touched Sword Fanatic’s back. By his spiritual force, he controlled a trace of internal Qi and let it flow around Sword Fanatic’s body.

“As expected…”

On closer inspection, Fang Qiu said, “You have great strength. In particular, you haven’t made a breakthrough for many years. Over the years, you have absorbed much Qi of Heaven and Earth. All of this has been converted into energy and strengthened your meridians. Therefore, your meridians are tough enough. Even if you have suffered severe injuries, your meridians are not completely broken. Many parts seemingly separated are actually connected.”

Sword Fanatic heard his explanation.

His expression changed. “Is there really a chance?”

“Heaven Treasure can nourish and reinforce the meridians. The energy in the Bodhi Fruit should be sufficient for you to recover your meridians.”

At this point, Fang Qiu took a deep breath and said, “I’ll help you attract the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth and spur on the operation of your internal Qi. All you need to do is to relax and take the Bodhi Fruit.”

After that…

Fang Qiu began performing the Great Hand of Destruction. With the jade formation’s help, he wildly gathered the Qi of Heaven and Earth dozens of kilometers around them.

“Swallow it.”

When enough Qi of Heaven and Earth was accumulated, Fang Qiu called out to Sword Fanatic.

Sword Fanatic chewed the Bodhi Fruit up.

The moment he bit it into pieces…

The Bodhi Fruit turned into a powerful energy flow, flowing into his throat and rushing into the messy meridians within Sword Fanatic.

A sense of coolness instantly filled him.

Sword Fanatic could even feel the healing process.

He didn’t need to control it — the energy transformed by the Bodhi Fruit automatically rushed into his broken meridians. It wrapped them up, nourishing and repairing them.

Quick as a flash…

“Move!”

With his spiritual force, Fang Qiu drove a wisp of Qi of Heaven and Earth, thick as a little finger, into Sword Fanatic. It then began to work on his meridians.

After the brutal attack, the meridians in Sword Fanatic were almost severely dislocated. So, Fang Qiu needed to smooth his meridians before recovering them.

The wisp of Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed in him. Wherever it went, it straightened the meridians like a wooden stick inserted into a bent water pipe.

As his meridians were untangled and straightened out…

Sword Fanatic immediately felt a sharp pain. Meanwhile, he sensed the broken wounds on his meridians repairing under the nourishment of the Bodhi Fruit’s energy.

One lap, two laps, three laps!

With the operation of the internal Qi…

The meridians in Sword Fanatic were utterly restored.

Next…

Fang Qiu attempted to inject more Qi of Heaven and Earth into Sword Fanatic. After all, Bodhi Fruit’s power was not enough to recover his meridians. He needed enough internal Qi to heal Sword Fanatic.

At present…

Not a thread of internal Qi remained in Sword Fanatic. Fang Qiu could only help him convert all the Qi of Heaven and Earth into internal Qi!

Gradually…

The Qi of Heaven and Earth, thin as a little finger, grew into a surging flow as thick as a thumb.

Supported by the Bodhi Fruit’s energy, a small part of his meridians had recovered.

“It’s time to try moving your Qi.”

Fang Qiu reminded him, “Take your time. Don’t worry. First, refine some internal Qi to assist your meridians’ recovery.”

Sword Fanatic followed his instructions.

Right away, he attempted to run his Qi.

To his great surprise, it worked.

He felt the Qi movement less real and even a little superficial than before he was injured. However, the feeling of running his Qi did exist.

This feeling gave the Sword Fanatic a glimmer of hope, but he didn’t know why he was not excited.

Before long…

Sword Fanatic refined the first trace of Qi of Heaven and Earth into internal Qi. Then, this whisker of internal Qi activated more Qi of Heaven and Earth to run and refine.

Ultimately, he successfully transformed all the Qi of Heaven and Earth injected into his body by Fang Qiu into internal Qi.

Sword Fanatic controlled most of the internal Qi to assist the Bodhi Fruit’s energy in nourishing the meridians. At the same time, he maintained the operation of the remaining internal Qi in his meridians.

Fang Qiu promptly drew in more Qi of Heaven and Earth for Sword Fanatic to refine.

Just like that…

The process lasted for a long time.

Finally, Sword Fanatic felt the superficial sense of running Qi became much more stable. Under the nourishment of the Bodhi Fruit and internal Qi, more than half of his meridians were fixed.

In the meantime, Fang Qiu had been attracting and gathering the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth with the help of the Great Hand of Destruction and jade terrain.

Sword Fanatic’s meridians were wholly restored.

After Sword Fanatic consumed all the Bodhi Fruit’s energy, Fang Qiu was completely reassured and smiled happily.

Good job.

His injury was healed!

His broken meridians were all repaired, and the internal injuries were almost recovered.

However…

Sword Fanatic did not wake up at once. Instead, he continued running the internal Qi in him and absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth outside.

“Er?”

Noticing something unusual, Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows. He didn’t dare to waste time thinking. Immediately, he led all the Qi of Heaven and Earth attracted by him into Sword Fanatic!

He could feel Sword Fanatic needed plenty of Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The meridians had just been fixed. While repairing, the Bodhi Fruit’s energy could strengthen the meridians.

Therefore, even newborn meridians could withstand the impact of a large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth!

Fang Qiu was fully convinced that Sword Fanatic could bear it.

Here…

Sword Fanatic’s meridians were destroyed and fully restored. Facing the dramatic rise and fall, Sword Fanatic remained calm and undisturbed. He never deliberately absorbed such a large amount of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was just that his body needed it. Even he himself did not know why his reborn meridians required so much Qi of Heaven and Earth.

When Fang Qiu guided all the gathered Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body, Sword Fanatic felt all the pores in his body open and expand!

His body took in the entire surging stream of Qi of Heaven and Earth. Then, it circulated frantically in his meridians.

The operation was running with astonishing speed.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of something breaking was suddenly heard.

As if some shackles had been broken, Sword Fanatic trembled all over. Then, an inexplicably vast and mighty aura of energy suddenly surged out of his body, covering the surroundings.

Outside the window…

A cloud scroll was quietly formed in the clear sky!
