Chapter 45: Picking Lotus to Replenish the Talisman

Chapter 45: Picking Lotus to Replenish the Talisman

Strong winds surged, and a figure emerged from the wind, falling from mid-air and plunging into the bamboo forest. Evil aura spread outward.

Chu Tai and others looked carefully and saw a Taoist priest with scars all over his body.

The Taoist robe he was wearing was tattered, and the lifted cloth revealed several piercing wounds.

The rest of his body was also a mess of blood and flesh, with more than a dozen hideous torn wounds.

Chu Tai also discovered that the flesh on his left palm and right forearm had disappeared, revealing only white bones.

"Fellow Daoist Han Shang, why are you like this!"

Taoist Cuihuang's face suddenly changed. He hurried forward, took off the green bamboo branch on his head, activated the Qinghua Golden Box's longevity energy, absorbed the vitality in the bamboo forest, and repaired his injuries.

Liu Peiyu also took a step forward and flicked his long sleeves. The green water not far away, which was originally a little rippled, suddenly stopped. The water surface was as smooth as a mirror, and virtual shadows of lotus flowers emerged under the green water. It was an auxiliary formation that had the effects of purifying, exorcising evil spirits, and nourishing the nature.

At this time, Liu Peiyu activated the formation, spread out his five fingers, and pulled them inward. Strands of pure water energy turned into mist and surrounded Han Shang Sanren.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Cuihuang gently rolled up the green bamboo branch in his hand, and the mist turned into nectar that was held by the bamboo leaves. He shook it gently and it fell on the wound of the scattered man, allowing the torn wound to begin to repair and the missing flesh and blood to begin to regenerate.

But those few penetrating wounds were very troublesome.

When the nectar fell into it, one could see tiny granulations of flesh wriggling on both sides of the wound. Once they came into contact with each other, they would immediately tightly entangle into a ball, trying to fill the wound. But every time the wound tended to repair, a burst of miscellaneous gas would explode from the wound, bursting the flesh and blood that had just been connected.

"Let me do it!"

Chu Tai, who was standing by and using the two's healing methods to see clearly the condition of Han Shang Sanren, stepped forward.

The most troublesome injury on Sanren's body was not external, but internal.

His protective magic power was torn apart by someone's tyrannical magic power, which pierced his lungs, causing his vital energy to be stirred and his body to disintegrate.

What's more serious is that the natal talisman in his body has begun to fluctuate, and its spiritual light has been tainted with a few wisps of evil spirit, with signs of disintegration.

Chu Tai took out the Taiyi Changming Lantern and blew on the wounds of Han Shang Sanren. Sparks fell and turned into blooming fire lotuses.

The Qinghua Jinxie Longevity Qi flowing through his body turned into fuel. As the fire lotus bloomed, it continuously stimulated Han Shang Sanren's body to repair itself, while assisting him in burning the evil energy on the talisman.

Afterwards, Chu Tai took out a Qinghui Lengyue Pill that was as red as the bright moon on the snow and had a cool glow, crushed it and sprinkled it on the wound.

This elixir is also strange. Its medicinal properties are like cold springs. Once it touches the wound, wisps of white cold air will emerge and flow throughout Han Shang Sanren's body. Once it touches the residual evil energy, it will immediately freeze and turn into a thin frost on the body surface.

At the same time, most of the anger that Chu Tai had previously injected into his wounds was also dissipated, and the remaining bit was compatible with the properties of the medicine, regulating yin and yang, allowing Han Shang Sanren's complexion to gradually return to normal.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist..."

Han Shang Sanren was about to stand up to thank him, but was held down by Chu Tai.

"Wait a moment. Your spirit, soul and body are both injured, and the talisman in your body is contaminated. Therefore, you can neither stabilize your body nor stop the external evil from invading your acupoints."

"And the injuries on your body have hindered the circulation of your magic power, hindering the talisman's ability to save itself, forming a vicious cycle."

"I have only helped you expel the evil spirit, but the problem with your body and soul has not been solved. If you move now, once the wound opens again, the magic power that has just been activated in your body will inevitably leak out, and you will lose more than ten years of cultivation."

After hearing this, Han Shang Sanren dared not move.

Taoist Cuihuang and Liu Peiyu looked at Chu Tai in surprise. They obviously didn't expect that this new Taoist friend had such a skill. They couldn't help but elevate Chu Tai's status in their hearts.

The two watched Chu Tai walk to the edge of the clear water and stare at the lotus reflected in the water.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you want to borrow this pool? I will hand over the control of the formation to you right now."

Facing the magic weapon handed over by Liu Peiyu, Chu Tai raised his hand to refuse. After asking him to stabilize the formation, he stretched out a hand and very abruptly took out an illusory lotus from the pool.

Liu Peiyu stood there in a daze, and Taoist Cuihuang beside him was also dumbfounded.

She looked at Liu Peiyu, then at Bishui, her eyes full of confusion.

She could see that the lotus was the node of the formation in the water. Chu Tai picked the lotus just like cutting a piece of meat from a person.

Now the flesh has been cut, but the person has no reaction.

Chu Tai, who took out many pills and mixed them with the illusory lotus in his hand, saw the performance of the two and nodded secretly.

When Chu Tai knew that he might have fallen into the trap of a senior or a demon, he wanted to leave.

But he knows better that it is easy to enter the game, but very difficult to exit safely.

What's more, one of the protagonists this time has a grudge against the Taiyi Jinhua Sect, so Chu Tai can't avoid it.

Understanding this, he quickly adjusted his mindset and changed his way of thinking.

Since you can't get out safely, then you have to take the lead in the team's decision.

Among the four people present, Han Shangsanren has lost the qualification to compete due to his serious injuries.

Although Liu Peiyu's inheritance is not as good as Chu Tai and Taoist Cuihuang's, he has the highest level of cultivation and has the support of the Liu family.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is the most likely to occupy a dominant position among the four-member Chu Tai group.

Taoist Cuihuang seems to be neither good nor bad, but in fact his inheritance is higher than Liu Peiyu, and his cultivation is higher than Chu Tai, so he has long been invincible.

No matter who takes the lead afterwards, it will not affect her status and she will have extremely high sovereignty.

Therefore, if Chu Tai wants to have the right to speak and ensure his own safety, he must not only seize a certain degree of sovereignty from Liu Peiyu, but also make Cui Huang convinced.

This was the reason why he had specially picked the lotus from the clear water to show his skills.

His seemingly simple action of extending his hand was the perfect combination of his years of practice and the abilities of a "boy" and a "wandering scholar".

After Chu Tai obtained the [Boy], his learning ability increased sharply, and his talents in various aspects became far superior to ordinary people. Especially in the field of medicine, he had a completely unreasonable ability to perceive the properties of medicines, which was praised by Taoist Fu Guang more than once.

After obtaining the [Wandering Scholar], Chu Tai's various talents were further improved, and this time the improvement was more evenly distributed, filling in many shortcomings and making his medical talent less prominent.

Chu Tai himself knew very well that the improvement of talents by [Wandering Scholar] also included medical skills, but this talent was already too high, so the change seemed insignificant.

But improvement is improvement. After Chu Tai mastered the last ability of [Wandering Man], his medical talent also underwent a qualitative change.

His powerful medical talent allows him to sense the stories he left behind in the underworld, sense the flow of vital energy between heaven and earth, and interfere with it to produce therapeutic effects.

This is the core of his method of picking lotus.

It was also the basis for him to further treat Han Shang Sanren after he prepared the medicine.

Chu Tai, holding a broken jade pen, lowered his cloud of light to block the sight of Cui Huang and Liu Peiyu.

In order to avoid the misunderstanding that he was spying on the other party's practice method, Chu Tai, who had already figured out the root cause and thought of a treatment method, chose a slightly more troublesome method.

He first used golden needles to prick the acupuncture points to stabilize Han Shang Sanren's magic power and circled his key acupoints. Then he used the prepared medicine mixed with his blood as ink to draw several lines on his body.

At the beginning, Han Shang Sanren was a little surprised, but when the first line was drawn, he widened his eyes and looked at Chu Tai with disbelief on his face.

"I just intercepted some concepts of circulation from the pool. With the help of the elixir and your blood, I drew a few temporary channels for the circulation of mana outside your body to facilitate the circulation of your mana and stabilize your life talisman."

Liu Peiyu and Taoist Cuihuang standing nearby were also stunned. This kind of treatment method was unheard of to them. They could only prick up their ears and listen carefully to Chu Tai's subsequent explanation.

"Because these channels are the routes I explored with golden needles. Although they are roughly drawn according to the law of the flow of qi in your body, there may be major errors and omissions in the details. I hope you will pay a little more attention when you circulate it."

Hearing this, Han Shang Sanren hurriedly said that it was not a problem and wanted to escape from Chu Tai.

But when he started to use his magic power, the way he looked at Chu Tai changed again, becoming a little eager.
