Chapter 22 – The Crazy Method

“Is this fake ring actually authentic?”

Qinghan was surprised to find that his injuries had started to recover, the moment that the white smoke from the ring had started to run through his body. After a while, a second wave emerged and the injuries even miraculously scabbed. The flow went on and on, bringing in a comfortable warmth, as if Qinghan was bathing himself in a hot spring.

“The white smoke, ah, I remember! Back when I was in the Awakening Ceremony, it was this kind of smoke that saved my life. How magical… This fake ring finally turned out to be useful! What a damn good luck I have! Haha, will this ring help me out whenever I’m in any physical danger? If that’s the case, I’ll survive in any battle. It’s definitely a holy item, there’s no doubt about that!”

As his body had almost been fully recuperated, Qinghan grew more and more excited. He was well aware about the ranking of items in the Flame Dragon Continent: from low to high, it was the spirit items, precious items, holy items and the legendary immortal items. One obvious function of the holy item was to save its owner whenever he or she was suffering from fatal physical injuries. In other words, it could serve as a life-saving medicine. Indeed, the holy ring bestowed Qinghan with at least several more lives. Once he was injured in battle, he would soon after recover and be able to continue to fight, as long as he wasn’t instantly killed. The existence of holy items was really against the will of the heavens!

“I never thought that this ring would be real. After all, its surface scratched off so easily… Oh, My dear daddy, super daddy, now I sincerely apologize for all the ridiculous remarks I’ve previously made. I mocked you as a peddler touting down the streets… Sorry for that… Thank goodness, thank goodness! I didn’t flush it into the toilet. Oh, My God, I’ve got a holy item. Within such a short period, the severe injuries, which would’ve most likely ended my life, were recovered to an unbelievably large degree. I mean, except for some parts of the bones that are still aching, everything, including my meridians, have been fully healed. Oh… Wait… If it can really heal damaged meridians, then…”

Qinghan bounced up like a spring, as though he came up with a brilliant idea.

“Ouch!”

He was so overjoyed that he almost forgot his aching bones. The sudden jump worsened the pain, as his back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat. Despite all of his physical agony, Qinghan’s eyes had lit up with an overwhelming excitement. An excitement that was even more intense, than the one he had when he had realized that the ring was actually authentic.

“My meridians… Ha, I know how I should continue cultivating! If this method takes effect, then my ability will rise perpendicularly, and as a result, my Battle Qi will increase at a terrifying speed.”

“Theoretically, this method is ok! Absolutely ok!”

Clenching his fists, Qinghan wished to carry out this experimental method immediately. Yet, the healing process was still ongoing, he had to patiently wait until he had made a complete recovery.

“It’s healing so slowly… I don’t want to wait another second...” Qingha complained. If others were around, he would most likely be scolded for his impatience, since no one would nag on the efficiency of a holy item.

The passing of time was just like the water in the brook, flowing steadily and slowly.

……

Now, dawn was just around the corner, as everything around him was covered in a misty light. The early-morning air was extremely fresh, while the wind was humming through the numerous leaves of the trees, making it rustle in a beautiful rhythm.

“Oh! My God. Thank goodness. Thank Buddha…”

Qinghan energetically got to his feet. After one night’s healing process, his body was basically recovered, except for some faint pains that were still in his bones.

“Hopefully, I’ll have made a full recovery in the afternoon. This ring is absolutely incredible, I love it!”

Qinghan kissed the ring on his left hand, fondling the bronze surface admirably.

“Er, I have to cultivate a bit to speed up the healing process and leave here as soon as possible. Once my physical body allows me to carry out my experiment, I will instantly cultivate to a higher realm! Haha…”

Looking around, Qinghan found himself lying in high weed, where the plants were half the height of a human being. Now, he was in the middle of these thick weeds, almost invisible to his surroundings.

Actually, Qinghan was such a lucky guy. Last night, he had lain motionless on the ground, unaware of the ongoings of his surrounding. If it wasn’t for the high weeds, he would’ve be torn to pieces by the passing demonic beasts once they had discovered him.

Since he had not fully recovered yet, he decided to cultivate some Battle Qi to assist the healing process.

Battle Qi was a magic thing; it could be conveyed via the cells to all parts of the body. However, the cells were too slow to move the Battle Qi around the body. However, if it was done by the meridians, the speed would be multiplied.
