“Hmm?”

Luo Chen’s brows raised as he released his Spirit Consciousness, which simultaneously entered Gu Caiyi’s body.

It was different from the open and unobstructed Inner View he experienced during his own cultivation.

Luo Chen’s Spirit Consciousness and Spirit Power moved very slowly.

Under his patient observation, the condition inside Gu Caiyi’s body was laid bare!

Damaged! Chaotic! Blocked!

...

One meridian after another was broken and frail, like flowers and trees that had been battered by a storm.

Broken, destroyed, withered, swollen—hardly a single one was intact.

The only slightly better ones were a few meridians near the stomach area.

It seemed as if they had been repaired by a Spirit Medicine like the vein-nourishing liquid.

But it stopped there, deeper in, the medicine’s power could not reach.

As a result, many meridians were tangled and piled up together in a mess.

Furthermore, inside her, a vast and overbearing Spirit Power rushed about like rivers breaching their banks, flooding the nearby ponds, fields, and cities.

With no guidance, it had no way out.

It accumulated inside her body, constantly eroding the woman’s frail physique.

And the main culprit behind all this, undoubtedly, was the Dantian, which was nearly completely ruined!

“How could this be?”

“Even Sima Xian, who suffered the most from a failed Foundation Establishment, wasn’t in such a grave condition!”

“Moreover, tracing back to the root, Caiyi had clearly overcome the disaster at the tongue’s root at that time, and the Women’s Yuan Yin was still intact. Even the barrier of the Dantian had been breached; why would she still fail?”

“Did she fail at the step where Spirit Qi washes through the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?”

“No, that’s not right. Caiyi also took the Tongyou Pill, her Divine Soul Endowment is not weak, she should be able to control the raging flow; that step shouldn’t have been so difficult.”

Countless questions surged madly in Luo Chen’s mind after he had explored Gu Caiyi’s injuries.

Luo Chen’s brow furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

A gentle voice, quivering like a small animal, reached his ears.

“Luo, the divine healer, how am I doing?”

Luo Chen said calmly, “It shouldn’t be a big problem. Let me check again.”

With that, he concentrated his attention and once again directed his Spirit Consciousness into Gu Caiyi’s body.

Not only that, this time he also used the Healing Technique Finalization, coupled with the pure Wood Spirit Power, sweeping over the blocked meridians like Spring Breeze Into Rain.

Stimulated, Gu Caiyi let out a muffled grunt.

But soon, a comfortable sensation spread throughout her being.

It was warm, as if someone was massaging her sore and swollen meridians.

For a long, long time.

This time Luo Chen’s observation took a great while.

When he came back to his senses, he found a pair of eyes intently staring at him.

He lifted his gaze and said lightly, “It’s a bit tricky, but it’s not a big problem. It can be cured. At most, it will take a year to recover completely.”

He spoke neither slowly nor rapidly, as if he possessed immense confidence.

But to Gu Caiyi’s ears, it was…

Such familiar words!

After hearing them, Gu Caiyi’s face didn’t show a joyful smile; instead, there was a touch of despondency.

She had heard such words many times over the past year.

Everyone said that. He said that too.

They were all just comforting her.

“Rest well, I will come to see you again tomorrow.”

Luo Chen gently tucked her withered arm back under the blanket.

Then, he was about to get up.

However, just as he turned to the side, his hand was grabbed.

He turned his face and saw Gu Caiyi, who had been very calm since he entered, just like always, now with two lines of tears running down from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Caiyi didn’t speak but just looked at him with tears streaming down.

In the calmness, turbulent emotions were being released without restraint.

The emotions that had been suppressed for too long, in this moment, translated into the force gripping Luo Chen’s hand.

The force wasn’t strong; Luo Chen could easily break free.

But Luo Chen felt as though it was his heart that was being held.

In the end, he didn’t break free.
