Chapter Ch221 - Nursing Him Back to Health
Gongyi Tianheng said: “Before all this, I practiced without incident. I also carried this thing the entire way back without anything happening. But when I was cultivating with it, this suddenly happened. So there’s certainly a correlation.”
Gu Zuo thought about it, and this seemed reasonable.
It went without saying that solar energy was an energy with incomparable heat. How did this power come out? In fact, it was also a fire. Although the things introduced in his item book were all Earth Fires, when it was talking about certain Earth Fires, it also mentioned that they were “inferior to the Brilliant Fire of the Sun”. And that Brilliant Fire of the Sun should’ve been a solar fire.
Merely, it was said that only pharmacists were capable of subduing Wondrous Fires for use. Meanwhile, his big brother, Gongyi Tianheng, could possess this type of ability that was valued by a Wondrous Fire. It was truly hard to believe.
But on second thought, Gu Zuo still considered this a special skill of the Tiandu Body. In any case, this was a chance encounter envied by the heavens. At this point, anything special wasn’t strange at all.
Soon after, Gu Zuo extended a hand: “Big brother, give the secret key to me for safekeeping.”
In the future, his big brother would definitely be be cultivating solar energy often. If this happened again and he didn’t come back in time, what was he going to do? It was better to throw it into his storage space.
Tianheng smiled, and leisurely tossed the secret key over: “Once Ah Zuo reaches the Immortal Realm, you can try to subdue this fire. Although I don’t know how Wondrous Fires function for pharmacists, I know that Wondrous Fires are a tremendous help to them.”
Gu Zuo wasn’t modest with Tianheng: “I’ll certainly subdue it.”
After he finished speaking, he reached out a hand and grabbed the secret key. It was received into the storage space by him.
Tianheng didn’t speak much more on this subject.
Because, at this time, Gu Zuo had already latched onto Tianheng’s wrist again to check his pulse and to examine his body.
No matter how good the Revitalization Pill was, it wasn’t able to treat the injuries to some specific internal organs. Moreover, because of the Will-O-Wisp Yin Flame’s torment, the equilibrium within Tianheng’s body had already been thoroughly wrecked.
Gu Zuo was a little anxious.
His big brother’s body was very finicky. Now that such a tribulation had been encountered, Gu Zuo needed to readjust the plan. Otherwise, it would be harmful to his big brother’s future cultivation…
Not long after, Gu Zuo made a new plan.
Overall, it would still be carried out according to the item book’s arrangements, but the parts in-between needed fine tuning. For example, it was first necessary to use medicinal ingredients with characteristics of the five elements to refine medicinal cuisines. This would nourish the body from the inside out. Once Tianheng was nursed to a better condition, ingredients with even stronger medicinal effects would be refined into pills for treatment. At the same time, because the meridians had been burned, and even some places showed signs of damage or atrophy, it was necessary to use medicinal decoctions to make improvements from the outside in.
In short, the process was complicated, and the time it would take was long and tedious.
During this period of time, Gu Zuo didn’t take a step outside. Every day, besides cultivating, he was refining pills. And besides refining pills, he was accompanying Tianheng. At all times, he paid attention to Tianheng’s body. No matter how minute the problem, he carefully considered everything and supplemented it with food and medicine.
Tianheng was touched by the deep concern Gu Zuo showed for him. Originally, he wanted to first go to the Martial Scripture Pavilion and flip through all those martial scriptures. However, at the present time, he was recuperating. Also, under Gu Zuo’s request, he couldn’t swallow any Poison Pills nor absorb the world’s power of the sun. Therefore, he could only absorb ambient qi, take Qi Linking Pills and others like it, and continuously condense bone pearls. Any unnecessary matters or things that had the slightest chance of upsetting the balance in his body were completely off the table.
Meanwhile, the people in the valley were busy doing business or other such things that needed handling. Several of the Gongyi Clan’s children were pestering Tianyang, asking him about this time’s adventure he had going out. Dragon One also told the Tianlong Guards as well as those enslaved subordinates about the matter of heading to that Great Tomb of the Human King. Everyone was extremely interested. Moreover, because this event was shared, they strived even harder.
Most of all was Gongyi Tianyang.
If it was said before that he did his best because he was unwilling to make his family’s elder brother disappointed in this little brother, then now, he had another new goal. He was even more hardworking, and the training was almost hellish.
There was no need for Tianheng to analyze anything for him. Tianyang himself understood that, if it was in the past, he was free to express his feelings or to openly pursue someone. Right now, he couldn’t do that. Not only did their ranks undergo a reversal, but this reversal was as different as heaven and earth!
Although Tianyang could faintly sense the shared happiness as gently and cautiously as his counterpart, the disparity in aptitude, potential, identity, and position made it so that he couldn’t rashly get closer to her when he was inferior to his sweetheart in all aspects. Rashly going over would, instead, increase his counterpart’s troubles.
A grand-apprentice of the Sect Master was very good, but Tianyang, who grew up in an aristocratic family, knew well that one’s identity was sometimes a shackle, too. The higher one’s position, the more pairs of eyes would be watching, which compelled oneself to be even more outstanding and to undertake even more responsibilities. During this period of time, he didn’t want to make things difficult for her. He would wait until he was enough to match her before he pursued her romantically!
Because of this matter, Tianyang became even more determined.
He knew that his own big brother was very strong, but in the future, he didn’t want to have the qualification to pursue his sweetheart just because he was Tianheng’s younger brother. More than that, he hoped to have this qualification based on his own merits, and that his big brother’s might was simply adding flowers to a brocade.
Now, let’s talk about Ling Ziwei.
Since she came to the Sect, she wasn’t able to easily appear again. Right now, she could be considered a remarkable younger generation of the Sect Master’s bloodline. Within a short time, Qinghui Fairy’s reputation had already spread widely throughout the Inner Sect. Many members of the Sect had heard about the matter of her having a special constitution. However, the specific constitution hadn’t been publicly declared.
Under the teachings of her master, Ling Ziwei cultivated persistently. The unexpected one was Ling Ziqi. He still remembered the grace that Tianheng gave to the brother and sister pair. During this period, he came to the valley quite a few times, and every time, he brought some good things that were delivered to him by his younger sister.
What was even more interesting was that it clearly included heavenly materials and earthly treasures which had the dual attributes of fire and earth. It was obvious that Ling Ziwei had specially prepared this for Tianyang!
Gu Zuo couldn’t help finding it funny.
After Tianyang’s face reddened, he made use of the time interval between practicing martial arts to secretly do something in his room.
While Gu Zuo nursed his dear big brother back to health, he was very interested in this. His thoughts turned, and he quietly used his psychic power to take a peek.
Gu Zuo realized it with a glance. As it turned out, Tianyang had stealthily used top-notch timber to carve out an exquisite wooden case. Inside that wooden case, the bottom was being hand-painted with a small portrait of Ling Ziwei. It was beautiful and touching. It was like every frown and every smile was before one’s eyes… The meaning of this was also very clear.
Afterwards, when Ling Ziqi came by again, Tianyang placed that set of spirit weapon jewelry that he obtained from his elder brother into that wooden case with great care.
Right now, he didn’t have the ability to give the best things. This was merely presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers — However, he could choose to use his own greatest efforts to give his counterpart his sincerest regards.
Gu Zuo quietly told Tianheng about this matter.
As for Tianheng?
He raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying: “It’s too early to talk about the future. But for Tianyang, he’ll certainly have a period of growth after this event.”
