Chapter 20 - 20: 9 Xuan Celestial Doctor Needles, Su Nan's Plan
After identifying the root of the illness, Chang Qing hurriedly left, leaving Su Wenlin and Er Niu staring at each other.
"Medical books... can they even cure old cultivation injuries?"
Er Niu hesitantly asked Su Wenlin.
"Nonsense."
Su Wenlin shook his head, "At my level of cultivation, my body is beyond what ordinary people can comprehend."
"The human body's secret stores are unlocked, body as the universe, where would there be talk of illness."
"This injury of mine was a dark wound from a month-long battle with a Great Saint of the demon clan, even the elixirs of the Pill Saint couldn't heal it, let alone a doctor."
After reaching a certain level of cultivation, although the body's recovery speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, once severely wounded, it is extremely difficult to recover.
It's not just the physical injuries; it's also an injury to the inner world that has been cultivated, requiring a long time to adjust.
"Forget about it, stop thinking."
"Once the Young Master realizes there is no effect after some attempts, he will give up too."
"I'll discuss with the others and leave the day after tomorrow."
After speaking, Su Wenlin turned and walked out of the room.
Er Niu didn't think much of it, and started reading the newly acquired secret manual.
...
On the other side.
Upon returning to his room, Chang Qing immediately took out the Celestial Doctor's Mysterious Volume.
He carefully perused it for a long time until he finally saw a record near the end.
[Human potential is boundless, body as the universe, and when the universe is damaged, the foundation is shaken. Healing people is like correcting the universe; when the universe is perfected, injuries are of no concern...]
Gazing at the records in the Celestial Doctor texts, Chang Qing gradually became captivated.
He discovered that this medical book underwent a great transformation in its later Chapters.
It was as if... instead of saving people, it was repairing a broken world, with records of symptoms like Uncle Wenlin's.
Within it were extremely detailed diagrams, aligning the human body with the universe in a wonderfully congruent manner.
Moreover, the concepts it described were so profound that Chang Qing could not comprehend them at his current level.
"I'll study it later; for now, I should first find a way to heal."
Chang Qing thought to himself, temporarily skipping over the abstruse records.
Soon his eyes brightened as he found the described treatment method in the book.
[Nine Profound Celestial Doctor's Needle! Healing the wounds of the heavens above, curing the barren earth below]
[Nine Profound Needle Technique, one profound one universe, with all nine, the sun and moon change course, the universe reverses]
"Hiss... isn't this a bit too grand?"
Originally, Chang Qing was excited to have found a treatment method, but upon seeing the description, he became suspicious.
The person who compiled the Celestial Doctor's Mysterious Volume seemed rather fanciful.
Can a mere needle technique really turn the heavens down and the earth up? This almost changes the fundamental truths of the universe.
"The decoction this morning was useless and the claims are so grand, could this medical book be a fake?"
Chang Qing pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth,
"Anyway, there's no better method, so let's try this desperate measure."
With this in mind, Chang Qing no longer hesitated, studying the medical book with great focus.
This needle technique was intricate and difficult to fathom, not only thoroughly dissecting the body's various major acupoints but also directly reaching the deeper mysteries of the human body.
For a moment, Chang Qing was completely absorbed in his study.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room.
Seeing Chang Qing earnestly reading, Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to the problematic eldest and second sons, Chang Qing was much more sensible, confirming that his method of education was correct!
"It's time to prepare a sect for Chang Qing." Su Nan murmured to himself, pondering deeply.
"Which sect are you planning to let Chang Qing join?" Ye Shu thought for a moment and spoke:
"The Wuji Sect in the Southern Domain's Xinglan Country is good, the Sect Leader's cultivation is as a Great Saint, and the disciples are all outstanding."
"However, the Lingxiao Immortal Sect of Little Cool Mountain has a better heritage, their second realm cultivation method is reputed to be the best in the world."
"And..."
Ye Shu continued listing examples, but Su Nan shook his head and interrupted:
"What are you thinking? The heir our Su family has painstakingly nurtured, how can he join someone else's sect?"
"Besides, with how corrupted those sects are, can he really learn well there?"
Ye Shu looked at Su Nan in confusion, "Then which sect are you planning for him to cultivate in?"
"Nowhere, I'm building one myself!"
Su Nan declared confidently: "Chang Qing is too weak now, it's not time for him to know the truth."
"When he reaches the fourth realm, it'll be time to tell him."
"And our self-built sect can be like Cyan Mountain Village, not letting Chang Qing notice any peculiarities."
Beside him, Ye Shu was speechless: "Do you know how many people it takes to establish a sect?"
"A Sect Leader, elders, deacons, and various disciples, you can't manage without tens of thousands of people."
"Even our grand Su family doesn't have that many people who have time to accompany Chang Qing."
Ye Shu thought Su Nan was being obsessive, having hidden the truth from Chang Qing for eighteen years wasn't enough, and now he wanted to build a sect?
"If there aren't enough people, recruit them."
Su Nan waved his hand, self-assured: "I aim to build the strongest sect in the Southern Domain!"
"Recruit outer sect disciples like inner sect disciples from top sects, and inner sect disciples like core disciples from top sects."
"As for core disciples, find those prodigies and geniuses, I want to sweep up all talents in the Southern Domain to support Chang Qing's growth!"
Seeing Su Nan's enthusiasm, Ye Shu said in disbelief: "Do you know how many resources it takes to attract those talents?"
"Resources?"
Su Nan smiled, looking at Ye Shu: "Wife, you underestimate me."
"A grand era is coming, but before the Great Emperor appears, I, Su Nan, am the sky of the Southern Domain!"
"Not to mention just disciples, even if I asked Supreme Elders to be deacons in my sect, no one would dare say no!"
"Moreover..."
Pausing, Su Nan gazed into the horizon, "Compared to the other four domains, the Southern Domain is too chaotic."
"If the battle for the Emperor's path erupts, the other four domains will target the Southern Domain first."
"I want to cultivate a batch of people who can provide protection for Chang Qing in the future."
Ye Shu was silent for a long time upon hearing this, casting a complex gaze at the man beside her,
"Are you hiding something from me?"
"As the Peak of Quasi-Emperor, the Lord of the Southern Domain, do you need to be this cautious?"
Su Nan laughed heartily, embracing Ye Shu's shoulder, "You're overthinking it, I'm at the Peak of Quasi-Emperor."
"Even if other Domain Masters joined forces, I wouldn't necessarily fear them, hahaha, let's sleep now."
With those words, Su Nan lay down on the bed as usual.
But Ye Shu sat silently for a long while.
The Peak of Quasi-Emperor is powerful, in an era without the Great Emperor's appearance, no one can challenge Su Nan.
But times have changed, the suppression of heaven and earth has dissipated, and the Quasi-Emperor is no longer a synonym for invincibility.
"If it's not the Domain Masters of other domains, then it's..."
Ye Shu's gaze trembled suddenly, looking toward the darkness-enshrouded world in the distance, murmuring,
"Is the Dark Forbidden Area suppressed in the Southern Domain about to awaken..."
