Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

The old ghost looked at Chen Xian in surprise and asked, "Who are you calling Senior Chu?"

"Is there anyone else here?" Chen Xian handed over a glass of water and stared into the old ghost's eyes with a smile.

Lao Gui took the tea and drank it all. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the pain in his body disappear, and the meridians that had been damaged for many years also showed signs of recovery. He widened his eyes, looked at the empty teacup in his hand, and then looked at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian still had a smile on his face and poured another glass of water for Lao Gui.

"This is not how you drink tea. You have to savor it carefully."

This time, Lao Gui took a small sip, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. Yes, it was the effect of the tea. It was relieving his worsening pain. Lao Gui saw hope, opened his eyes, and said to Chen Xian: "Okay, since Brother Dongri wants to hear the story, I will tell you."

As he spoke, the old ghost waved his hand in the air, and suddenly an energy barrier appeared to block out the sound.

"Yes, I am Chu Tianxing." The old ghost said seriously.

"Pfft, are you Chu Tianxing?" Chen Xian spat out the tea in his mouth and looked at the old ghost in surprise.

Lao Gui also looked at Chen Xian with surprise.

"Didn't you guess it already?"

"I just thought you were Chu Tianxing's son or grandson or something."

Chen Xian had an innocent look on his face, and Lao Gui was frowning. This kid was pretending to be sophisticated on purpose.

Since he had already admitted that he was Chu Tianxing and still needed Chen Xian's treatment, Lao Gui had no choice but to tell his story.

It was basically the same as what we talked about before, but the young emperor at that time agreed with the education reform. He wanted to absorb civilians to strengthen the empire and reduce its dependence on the church through education reform. However, this touched the interests of the nobles and the church, and the reform could not be implemented. So the emperor secretly contacted Lao Gui and planned the Titou incident to force the nobles to agree. However, five years after the reform, the emperor secretly asked him to meet in a palace outside the city, but he did not wait for the emperor, and he was poisoned and besieged by dozens of masters. In the end, he jumped off the cliff to escape, but he was seriously injured. There was also a strange poison that caused his strength to slowly fade from the seventh level. Now he only has the strength of the third level. In a few years, he may not be able to maintain the third level, and finally he may face death.

Moreover, his entire family was slaughtered, even his newly born youngest granddaughter was not spared. What he hated most now was the emperor for his betrayal.

The old ghost spoke out what had been hidden in his heart for many years, and he immediately felt happy and laughed out loud.

"Senior Chu, I will call you Old Ghost from now on. I will help you conceal your identity. The first stage of your disease treatment has ended."

The old ghost looked stunned. "The first stage of treatment is over? But you haven't done anything yet."

Chen Xian smiled. "Old Ghost, your illness has both external and internal causes. The external cause is poisoning and serious injuries, and the internal cause is actually the resentment you have been holding in your heart for many years. Now that you have spoken out, the pressure in your heart will surely be released. Now stretch out your hand, let me feel your pulse."

If before, Lao Gui only had a glimmer of hope that Chen Xian could cure his illness, then after the refreshing feeling in his heart just now, he was full of hope in Chen Xian's medical skills.

Chen Xian closed his eyes and quietly observed the situation inside the old ghost's body. His meridians were severely damaged, and there was a Yin energy in his body that was constantly eroding his body. If it weren't for his strong strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so many years. Now that his strength has weakened, the Yin energy's erosion rate is getting faster and faster. If this continues, the old ghost probably won't be able to hold on for a year.

He has no spiritual energy now, and he has no way to get rid of Yin Qi. He can only get rid of Yin Qi after he has built his foundation and has enough spiritual energy in his body. What he can do now is to first open up the blocked meridians of the old ghost, and then increase the energy in his body, so that he can resist the erosion of Yin Qi and get rid of the danger to his life.

Thinking of this, Chen Xian took out a bag of magic water and gave it to Lao Gui. The tea he had used before was also magic water. He just wanted to see if it would work. Judging from Lao Gui's performance, the effect was very obvious.

"Old ghost, this bag of potion is the tea you drank before. Take it first and drink a sip each morning, noon and evening. Also, this potion is of great importance. You must keep it secret and not let others know about it."

Lao Gui had seen the effects of tea and happily took the water bag. "Don't worry, Lao Gui knows what to say and what not to say."

"I can't completely cure your disease now. You need a white ore that can gather seven types of energy. Only in this way can I solve the poison in your body. Now I can only help you suppress the erosion of the toxins, so that you can recover some strength and avoid the torture of pain."

Lao Gui originally did not hold out much hope for a complete cure, until he could be free from pain, he happily put his arm around Chen Xian's shoulders and said proudly: "Brother Dongri, when I get better, I will protect you. There is no place in the empire that you cannot go."

With the protection of a legendary thief, no one would dare to attack him even if his magic water was exposed.

"How about you wait until you recover and then help me knock down Master Liu Yan?" Chen Xian smiled lasciviously.

"Go away, I have been an upright old man all my life and would never do such a dirty thing." The old ghost looked at Chen Xian with contempt.

"Then why do I need you to protect me?"

……

At night, Chen Xian used the Eight Palace Acupuncture on Lao Gui and restored one of his blocked meridians. Lao Gui's strength recovered to level 4.

Lao Gui was amazed by this unprecedented treatment method. Seeing that his strength was recovering, he was full of confidence in his future recovery. That night he wanted to ask Chen Xian to become his sworn brother. They did not ask to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day.

Chen Xian looked at the old ghost who had recovered his first-level strength but lost some of his white hair, and resolutely refused. The reason was simple. To die on the same day and year as an old man was a curse to a young man like him that he would not live long.

Finally, the old man had no choice but to introduce Chen Xian to his goddaughter, so that Chen Xian would not let outsiders take advantage of him. Chen Xian also refused, saying that if he could not be his brother, he wanted to be his grandfather. The old man earnestly told Chen Xian how beautiful, sensible, and powerful his goddaughter was, leaving Chen Xian helpless and saying that he would see her in person first.

The two agreed that after the mission was completed, they would go to the imperial capital to see his granddaughter.
