Chapter 20: The Nine Profound Heavenly Healing Needles and Su Nan's Plan
After identifying the root of the problem, Su Changqing hurriedly left, leaving Su Wenlin and Er Niu staring at each other in confusion.
"Can a medical book really treat ailments that stem from cultivation?"
Er Niu hesitated, looking at Su Wenlin for an answer.
"Ha, don't even think about it."
Su Wenlin shook his head. "At my level of cultivation, the body is no longer like that of an ordinary person."
"Once you unlock the hidden realms within the body, you become as vast as the heavens and earth. How could there be any illness?"
"My injury is a hidden wound from a month-long battle with a Great Sage of the Demon Clan. Even the Elixir Sage's potions couldn't heal it, let alone a mere physician."
At a certain level of cultivation, while the body's recovery speed far surpasses that of a normal person, any severe injuries are extremely difficult to heal. These injuries not only affect the physical body but also the inner world that has been cultivated, requiring a long time to recover.
"Forget about it."
"Once the Young Master realizes it's ineffective, he'll give up."
"I'll go discuss with the others. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
With that, Su Wenlin turned and walked out of the room.
Er Niu didn't think much about it and started reading the new secret manual he had received.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After returning to his room, Su Changqing immediately flipped through the Heavenly Medical Scroll.
He carefully examined it for a long time, almost finishing the entire scroll before he found a particular record.
【Human potential is boundless, the body like the heavens and earth. When the heavens and earth are damaged, the foundation becomes unstable. Healing a person is like repairing the heavens and earth. Once the heavens and earth are restored, the injuries will be of no concern.】
As Su Changqing read the record, he became increasingly engrossed.
He discovered that the medical book underwent a significant transformation in its later sections.
It was as if the book wasn't about healing people but about repairing a broken world. It even had records of symptoms like those of Uncle Wenlin.
The scroll contained extremely detailed diagrams, mapping the human body to the heavens and earth, and they were surprisingly accurate.
Moreover, the principles described were so profound that the current Su Changqing couldn't fully understand them.
"I'll study it in the future. For now, I need to find a treatment method."
Su Changqing thought to himself and temporarily skipped over the complex records.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he found the described treatment method.
【The Nine Profound Heavenly Healing Needles! They can mend the wounds of the heavens above and heal the desolation of the earth below.】
【The Nine Profound Needle Technique, one needle for each realm of the heavens and earth. Nine needles can make the sun and moon move in opposite directions, and the heavens and earth can be inverted.】
"Whoa, that's a bit too grand, isn't it?"
Su Changqing was initially excited to find a treatment method, but the description left him skeptical.
The author of the Heavenly Medical Scroll seemed to have a vivid imagination.
Could a mere set of needles really make the heavens and earth invert? That would almost alter the fundamental principles of the universe.
"The morning soup didn't work, and this description is so exaggerated. Could this medical book be fake?"
Su Changqing thought for a long time, but in the end, he gritted his teeth.
"Since there's no better option, I'll have to try treating a dead horse as if it were alive."
With that, Su Changqing stopped hesitating and began studying the scroll with great focus.
The needle technique was profound and difficult to understand, thoroughly analyzing various major acupoints in the human body and delving into the deeper secrets of the human body.
Su Changqing quickly became engrossed in his study.
At the same time, on the other side of the room.
Seeing Su Changqing's focused reading, Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to the troublesome older siblings, Changqing was much more sensible, proving that his educational methods were correct!
"It's time to prepare a sect for Changqing." Su Nan murmured to himself, his face showing deep thought.
"Which sect do you plan to have Changqing join?" Ye Shu thought for a moment and then spoke up.
"The Boundless Sect in the Star Ripple Kingdom of the Southern Domain is quite good. The sect leader is a Great Sage, and all his disciples are outstanding."
"However, the Spirit Dawn Immortal Sect on Lesser Liang Mountain has a better lineage. Their Second Realm cultivation method is said to be the best in the world."
"Also—"
But before Ye Shu could continue, Su Nan shook his head and interrupted her.
"What are you thinking? How can the successor we've worked so hard to raise in the Su family join another sect?"
"Besides, those sects are filled with corruption. How can he possibly learn anything good there?"
Ye Shu looked at Su Nan, confused. "Then where do you plan to have him cultivate?"
"None of those places. I'll build one myself!"
Su Nan said confidently, "Changqing is still too weak. It's not the right time to let him know the truth."
"Once he reaches the Fourth Realm, then I'll tell him."
"And the sect we build can be like Greenhill Village, where Changqing won't catch on to anything."
Ye Shu was speechless. "Do you know how many people it takes to establish a sect?"
"A sect leader, elders, enforcers, and all sorts of disciples. You can't manage without tens of thousands of people."
"Even with the Su family's vast resources, we don't have that many people to spare for Changqing."
Ye Shu felt that Su Nan was being unreasonable. Deceiving Changqing for eighteen years wasn't enough, and now he wanted to build a sect?
"No one to recruit, then so be it."
Su Nan waved his hand and said confidently, "I'll build the strongest sect in the Southern Domain!"
"Recruit outer disciples like the inner disciples of top-tier sects, and select inner disciples like the core disciples of top-tier sects."
"As for the core disciples, I'll gather the prodigies and geniuses. I'll sweep up all the talents in the Southern Domain to help Changqing grow stronger!"
Seeing Su Nan's madness, Ye Shu couldn't believe it. "Do you know how many resources it will take to attract those geniuses?"
"Resources?"
Su Nan smiled and looked at Ye Shu. "Dear, you underestimate me too much."
"The Great Era is coming, but before the Emperor appears, I, Su Nan, am the sky of the Southern Domain!"
"Don't say it's just some disciples. Even if I ask the Grand Elders to join my sect as enforcers, no one would dare refuse!"
"And—"
He paused, his gaze drifting to the horizon. "Compared to the other five domains, the Southern Domain is too chaotic."
"If the Emperor's Path War breaks out, the other four domains will target us first."
"I need to cultivate a group of people who can protect Changqing in the future."
Ye Shu was silent for a long time, her gaze complicated as she looked at the man beside her.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
"Are you, the peak Near-Emperor and ruler of the Southern Domain, really that cautious?"
Su Nan laughed and put his arm around Ye Shu's shoulders. "You're overthinking it. I'm a peak Near-Emperor."
"Even if the other domain lords unite, I won't be afraid of them. Hahaha, let's go to sleep."
With that, Su Nan lay down on the bed as usual.
But Ye Shu remained seated for a long time.
A peak Near-Emperor was incredibly powerful. In an era without Emperors, no one could touch Su Nan.
But times have changed. The suppression of the heavens has lifted, and being a Near-Emperor is no longer synonymous with invincibility.
"It's not the other domain lords, then it must be—"
Ye Shu's eyes suddenly trembled, her gaze shifting to the dark world in the distance. She murmured,
"The dark forbidden zone suppressed in the Southern Domain is about to awaken, isn't it?"
