Chapter 200: Treatment
At this moment, Jia Bing, having just left the Qiu Family, was filled with violence. The subordinate trailing beside him didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Rumors said that the guards beside Jia Bing were replaced monthly—not because they lacked loyalty, but because most didn't survive a month.
If not for the extremely generous treatment the Jia Family offered, even ensuring the family of the guard would want for nothing, no one would risk becoming a subordinate under Jia Bing.
Right now, Jia Bing's mood was like a stormy sky, thunder constantly brewing, just waiting for some unlucky soul to stumble into it.
Thinking of this, the two guards exchanged glances and saw immense terror in each other’s eyes.
Just then, Jia Bing suddenly stopped. The guard on the right, already on edge, accidentally bumped into Jia Bing's body in a moment of carelessness.
The scene immediately fell into silence.
The guard's face turned pale. He knew he was finished!
In the next moment, he dropped to his knees without hesitation, kowtowing three times with loud bangs.
“Please forgive me, Young Master! Please forgive me, Young Master, your subordinate didn’t mean it!”
Jia Bing suddenly smiled, letting out a hearty laugh.
Then he reached out and patted the man’s shoulder.
“What are you so nervous about? I’m not some man-eating beast.”
After speaking, he continued walking forward. The other guard didn’t dare to pause and followed immediately, while the kneeling guard thought he had been spared due to luck.
Just as he was about to stand up and catch up, his body suddenly went limp and collapsed onto the ground. No sound could escape his mouth. Amid boundless fear, his consciousness gradually faded.
Jia Bing sneered disdainfully:
“So lowly, yet you dare to touch this Young Master's body? Death is the only apology!”
The other guard immediately echoed:
“Young Master is absolutely right!”
Jia Bing sneered in disdain. To him, these lackey’s lives weren’t worth a dime—maybe just worth two pieces of Mysterious Dao Stone.
If it really came to it, ten pieces would probably settle it.
Over the years, he had done it countless times—never once had it failed.
So in his eyes, the lives of these lowly people were worth exactly that much.
Then he turned to the remaining guard and said:
“Go investigate this so-called Mister Gu. Find out exactly who he is!”
“Why did Qiu Hanyan bring this man back to the residence? Just what kind of deity is he?!”
Upon hearing this, the guard let out a sigh of relief. As long as he could leave this devil's side, he’d do anything!
So he immediately knelt and said, “Your subordinate will depart at once!”
“Go then.”
Once the subordinate, as if receiving amnesty, quickly departed, Jia Bing sneered coldly:
“Mister Gu… what a Mister Gu indeed. I want to see what kind of god dares to prance around in front of me!”
...
In the blink of an eye, more than five days had passed since Gu Fan arrived at the Qiu Family. During these five days, he used the excuse of still recovering from his injuries, while in fact cultivating his realm with the high-grade Mysterious Herbs Qiu Hanyan had sent.
After his previous battle with the Old Ancestor of the Lan Die Family, Gu Fan gained a new understanding of his own combat power.
Without using phenomena, at his current peak of the mid-stage Divine Moon Realm, he could contend with some early-stage Solar Radiance Realm mighty ones—but whether he could kill them was another matter entirely.
The higher the realm, the harder it became to fight across realms.
Especially the Solar Radiance Realm—it was a true watershed. It was far harder for someone in the Divine Moon Realm to challenge the Solar Radiance Realm than for someone in the Celestial Profound Realm to challenge the Divine Moon Realm.
This was also why the Holy Son could kill a mid-stage Yang Spirit Realm mighty one at the peak of the True Yang Realm, causing the entire Brahma God Sect disciples to worship him almost fanatically.
And if Xu Zhou now erupted with full force, with phenomena, Magic Immunity, and various buffs, a mid-stage Divine Moon Realm cultivator killing a mid-stage Solar Radiance Realm cultivator wasn’t too difficult.
He even had confidence to fight a battle with the Old Ancestor of the Qiao Family who was in the late-stage Solar Radiance Realm.
Unfortunately, this couldn’t be confirmed just yet—it would still have to depend on actual combat.
This was also the reason he dared to stay at the Qiu Family so casually.
Gu Fan finished cultivating and let out a deep, turbid breath.
“At my current pace, breaking through to the late stage of the Divine Moon Realm will take at most two months. With the feedback from the Evil Lotus, it might even be done in a little over a month.”
Murmuring to himself, Gu Fan stood up and walked to the bedside, pulling the blanket over Ruo Xi.
With a somewhat helpless expression, he said:
“This injury to your divine soul… I don’t know if a Celestial Heart Realm mighty one can even heal it. If you don’t wake up, I can’t possibly stay in this world forever, can I?”
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to take you away… it’s just that the place I come from is completely incompatible with your world. There might even be a great war in the future…”
After speaking a few more words, Gu Fan walked into the courtyard and shouted outward:
“Tell your young lady that my injuries have fully healed.”
There was no response from outside.
But Gu Fan knew someone had definitely been stationed near this independent courtyard.
Sure enough, moments later, Qiu Hanyan walked in hurriedly.
“Mister Gu, I heard your injuries are healed?”
“Indeed, Fairy Hanyan. I think we can resume the treatment today.”
Qiu Hanyan’s eyes lit up with delight. She had been terribly anxious these past few days.
But since Gu Fan’s previous injuries hadn’t healed yet, if she were to rush him, it would have seemed overly greedy.
Each time she thought of this, she forced herself to hold back.
Finally, upon hearing news of Gu Fan’s recovery, how could she not be excited?
Qiu Hanyan tried to remain calm, but couldn’t hide the change in her tone.
“Then… then Mister Gu, please proceed. I will fully cooperate and offer no resistance.”
“Cough cough…”
Gu Fan choked a bit at these words, then nodded with satisfaction.
“Hmm. If Fairy Hanyan can cooperate like this, that’s naturally for the best. Let’s begin just as we did last time.”
After speaking, Gu Fan placed his palm on Qiu Hanyan’s shoulder as usual. Then, threads of spiritual energy slowly entered her meridians.
“Mm…”
“Mn-hn…”
Qiu Hanyan’s face flushed slightly—how could she make such sounds?
Perhaps it was thanks to the prior experience, but Gu Fan’s movements this time were much gentler, and the process went unusually smoothly.
When his spiritual power gradually extended to the area within filled with Degenerate Energy, Qiu Hanyan was already panting.
Having someone else’s Mysterious Power forcibly entering one’s own meridians—it was a strange and bizarre sensation.
This feeling reminded her of those stories from certain illustrated books her close female friends once told her about.
Her ears instantly turned as red as a burning cloud.
“Fairy Hanyan, I’m going to begin officially now!”
“Mm… I’ll be troubling Mister Gu!”
In the next moment, Gu Fan no longer hesitated. The tip of his spiritual energy transformed into a hand-like clamp and slowly pierced into the amassed spiritual energy.
Then, Gu Fan directly began the absorption process.
Though this spiritual energy hadn’t been refined, it contained few impurities.
Once absorbed into his body, it only took minimal conversion to turn it into pure spiritual power.
As the process continued, the spiritual energy in Qiu Hanyan’s meridians grew thinner and thinner. Gradually, the previously blocked Mysterious Power began to flow.
Gu Fan remained focused and accelerated the absorption. Within a few breaths, he had completely cleared the blocked node!
Suddenly, Qiu Hanyan’s entire Mysterious Power surged. Her previously fallen cultivation level actually rose by one layer!
Not only that—she sensed that one of her previously clogged meridians had truly opened!
In an instant, Qiu Hanyan was wild with joy!
