Chapter 110 Damaged Latent Meridians
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
The sun shone into the room, and a figure in black slumped quietly beside the bed, seeming to have fallen asleep.
"She stayed up all night, and finally reached her limit." A clear voice sounded, and a young lady who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting outside, a herb dangling in her hand. She spoke softly, "In fact, her body is also in a very bad state right now, and I need to prescribe some medicine to treat her."
"How about that young man? Are his injuries serious?" Sitting next to the young lady was Li Suwang, the Tombmaster of Sword Heart Tomb. He looked curiously at the young man lying on the bed inside, his expression peaceful.
"No, he doesn't have any external injuries at all, but his pulse is extremely chaotic. In general, people know of the obvious meridian system, which comprises the eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve principal meridians, and the fifteen connecting collaterals. But, a human actually has a system of latent meridians which are relatively difficult to detect. Those who study martial arts are more familiar with this, because a human’s internal strength is accumulated within their latent meridians. This person’s latent meridians are damaged, so he can’t use any martial arts. But I can feel that within his latent meridians, there is a terrifying power. If this power backlashes, then he will be in a very dangerous situation." Hua Jin bit the herb into her mouth. "He must have encountered a backlash recently, but this backlash wasn’t too strong, so he’s just suffering from some qi deficiency. He’ll be fine after I treat it. But next time.."
"Damaged latent meridians.. Was he born like this?" Li Suwang asked.
Hua Jin shook her head. "No, his latent meridians were obviously injured by someone, and he should have been injured several years ago."
"Who could have done something so insidious?" Li Suwang frowned.
"I don't know. Anyway, it must have been a very powerful martial expert." Hua Jin sat there, shaking her legs, and shrugged.
"You can't cure him?" Li Suwang glanced at her.
Hua Jin sighed. "Not just me. Even if my shifu were still around, I doubt he can cure this too. As for that half-hearted shixiong of mine, I'm afraid he can’t cure this either."
"Your half-hearted shixiong?" Li Suwang thought for a while. "Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng?"
"Shifu said, if shixiong only specialised in medicine, then there is no one in the world who cannot be cured by him. But shixiong studied not only medicine, but also practiced his spear and ran off to be some citymaster, so with this half-heartedness, how can he study medicine?" Hua Jin said with dissatisfaction.
Li Suwang chuckled. "Well, you have chosen to specialise in studying medicine. You’ve stayed here in Sword Heart Tomb for a year collecting herbs. Several times, I’ve tempted you to practice a sword and you have always refused. Yet, you can’t cure him either?"
Hua Jin sighed and said solemnly, "That’s because I’m still young?"
While the two were talking, they spotted a person coming from a distance, carrying three long swords on his back, and two long swords and two three-foot swords slung around his waist. He looked like a real-life hedgehog.
Hua Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Who is this? Why’s he dressed up like a hedgehog?"
Luo Mingxuan scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, but when he moved his hand, the swords on him clanged together. He sighed. "Senior, is there really anyone in the world who uses seven swords?"
Li Suwang nodded. "Of course. Back then, the Unrivaled Citymaster’s Unrivaled Sword Casket had a total of thirteen swords inside."
Luo Mingxuan curled his lips. "Senior, please don't bluff me. The swords in the Unrivaled Sword Casket are all flying swords. Each one is about one zhang long. How’s that like my situation here?"
Li Suwang reached out a hand. "Then, return the swords to me."
Luo Mingxuan hurriedly waved his hand. "Senior, farewell." As he was about to turn around, he suddenly caught sight of the scene in the room and exclaimed, "Isn’t.. isn't that Qianluo-shijie and Xiao-shidi! What!"
On the bed, Xiao Se's face twitched slightly.
Hua Jin reached out and patted Luo Mingxuan. "Your voice is too loud!"
"Ah." Xiao Se breathed out, and his eyes opened slightly. He felt as if something heavy was pressing on his chest, and he was slightly out of breath. He looked down and realized that Sikong Qianluo was lying on his stomach. Xiao Se squinted his eyes, thought about it, pretended not to see, and closed his eyes again.
"He just opened his eyes, right?" Luo Mingxuan asked Hua Jin in a low voice.
Hua Jin blinked. "It seems so."
"Then he pretended to sleep again?" Luo Mingxuan pointed at Xiao Se.
Hua Jin blinked again. "That's right."
Luo Mingxuan immediately drew one of the long swords at his waist. "Bastard taking advantage of my shijie, see if I don't chop him up."
"What's it got to do with you! Get lost!" Hua Jin jumped off the bench and heaved the big medicine chest onto her back. "Old master, let’s go take a look at He Qu. It's time to change his medicine."
"Alright." Li Suwang nodded and walked a few steps forward, then turned his head and pulled Luo Mingxuan over. "I say, young man, are you really so ignorant? Spit it out, you’ve never had a sweetheart, have you?"
"No.. no." Luo Mingxuan sheathed the sword, his face blushing.
Li Suwang laughed and said, "Do you have someone you like?"
Luo Mingxuan nodded, and whispered, "Yes.."
The three people moved further and further away. At this time, Sikong Qianluo also woke up slowly, found herself lying on Xiao Se’s chest, and her face blushed involuntarily. She looked at Xiao Se, and saw that Xiao Se’s complexion was pale, and at peace. She couldn’t help but reach out her hand to touch his cheek. Xiao Se's eyelashes fluttered just when she was about to touch him.
Sikong Qianluo froze, then “pah!”, she gave Xiao Se an angry slap. Xiao Se stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes angrily. "Why are you hitting me!"
Sikong Qianluo replied angrily, "You pretended to sleep!"
"You’re the one pretending to be asleep! I saw you sleep so soundly, so I didn't wake you!" Xiao Se retorted.
"Bleh!" Sikong Qianluo really spit on Xiao Se's face.
Xiao Se was stunned, and Sikong Qianluo was also stunned.

Finally, Xiao Se slowly reached up to wipe off the saliva on his face, and yelled in anger, "Sikong Qianluo!"
Sikong Qianluo immediately ran away, but when she reached the door, she felt a wave of darkness and suddenly fainted. Fortunately, Wu Fa was just walking by and reacted immediately to catch Sikong Qianluo. Xiao Se also hurried off the bed, but he only managed a few steps, before he fell to the ground bonelessly.
Wu Fan looked at him and said pointedly, “This lady stayed by your side all day and all night. Why did you upset her just as she woke up?"
Xiao Se was a little ashamed, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Hua Jin hurried back when she heard the voices, reached out to take Sikong Qianluo’s pulse, and frowned slightly. "Her body is weaker than I thought. Move her to my room and I will prescribe her a dose of medicine."
Wu Fa nodded, then she lifted Sikong Qianluo and walked towards the room next door. Hua Jin glared coldly at Xiao Se and left with a cold snort.
Xiao Se was left by himself as he sat on the ground with a helpless expression. He reached out his right hand and sighed. "Who can.. help me get back to bed."
