Chapter 354 Treatment
He led Li Ping to a pavilion in the courtyard and sat him down.
Wei Yiling glanced at Li Ping sideways, her voice full of reproach: "You only came to see me after half a year? What do you want?"
It was clear that she was very happy about Li Ping's arrival.
Li Ping shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are wrong. It's not that I have something to do, but that you do."
"What are you talking about? What could I possibly want? Come if you want, why are you making excuses?" Wei Yiling expressed her disdain for what he said.
Li Ping smiled and looked at Wei Yiling, explaining, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you and your sister have formed a life-or-death feud with the Four Fiends of the East Sea. If you were to venture into the East Sea again, you would inevitably attract their attacks. Even if you conceal your tracks and remain vigilant at all times, with four formidable enemies constantly lurking while you hunt demons, you must be mentally exhausted and prone to making mistakes. Isn't that a problem?"
After hearing what Li Ping said, Wei Yiling waved her hand impatiently.
She's not stupid; Li Ping knows, so how could she not know?
This time, the two sisters were ambushed by the Four Fiends of the East Sea and almost met with disaster, thus forging a deep-seated blood feud between them.
She wanted to kill the other party to avenge herself, and the other party wanted to kill the two sisters to eliminate any future threats.
That's why she invited Li Ping to help deal with the Four Fiends of the East Sea; her purpose was nothing more than to take revenge while eliminating future troubles.
However, Li Ping rejected her without hesitation at the time, which made her quite unhappy. Now that Li Ping has come to her door again and said these words, what does he mean?
Was he there to laugh at her? Or was he there specifically to comfort her?
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Wei Yiling's tone was clearly impatient. She complained, "If you're really worried about me, then let's join forces and kill the Four Fiends of the East Sea. If you're not willing, there's no need to keep repeating these words—"
Before Wei Yiling could finish her complaint, Li Ping interrupted her directly: "To be honest, the reason I came to find Fellow Daoist Wei this time is to plan for us to join forces to eliminate the Four Fiends of the East Sea and rid the cultivation world of these four scourges."
"you……"
Wei Yiling looked at Li Ping with some disbelief, seemingly not expecting that half a year ago he had acted as if it were none of his business, but now he suddenly had a surge of righteousness and was determined to do good for the cultivation world and rid it of evil.
"What exactly happened?" Wei Yiling wondered.
However, she was pleased that Li Ping had agreed to deal with the Four Fiends of the East Sea. She looked at Li Ping suspiciously and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Li Ping nodded solemnly: "It is true, Fellow Daoist Wei, are you unwilling?"
"Okay, that's settled then. You're not allowed to go back on your word." Wei Yiling seemed afraid that Li Ping would change his mind, so she stared at him and said.
"Of course not." Li Ping met her gaze without flinching, remaining completely frank: "Why don't we set off now and settle this matter as soon as possible?"
He cultivates the "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue" (a martial arts technique), and although he has no bottlenecks in his minor cultivation realm, his progress is slow, and it is difficult for him to improve his combat power in a short period of time.
The Four Fiends of the East Sea, however, might break through their limits with a single stroke of luck.
To be on the safe side, it's best to deal with the Four Fiends of the East Sea as soon as possible.
Moreover, Li Ping was also worried about his enemies continuing to roam freely outside; he needed to get rid of them as soon as possible to put his mind at ease.
"No." Wei Yiling shook her head: "Shuangmei's essence has been damaged. She will need at least several decades of meditation and recuperation to recover her mid-stage Core Formation combat power."
Without her, the two of us facing the Four Fiends of the East Sea would be lucky to escape, let alone kill them.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping fell into deep thought.
Wei Yiling was unaware that, in addition to his own cultivation reaching the Core Formation stage, he also possessed a third-tier puppet and a third-tier spirit beast, and that his and the Wildfire Sparrow's combat power could overwhelm even early-stage Core Formation cultivators.
If the two of them really clash with the Four Fiends of the East Sea, as long as Wei Yiling can hold off the leader of the Four Fiends, he can deal with the remaining three fiends in a short time.
In other words, even without Wei Yiling's adopted sister's involvement, their strength on paper was enough to annihilate the Four Fiends of the East Sea.
But anything can happen unexpectedly.
What if one of the Four Fiends of the East Sea breaks through to a higher realm during this period? What if they find helpers? What if... In short, preparation is key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure.
Sending only the two of them to deal with the Four Fiends of the East Sea without any foresight is not a proper plan.
Ideally, the Frost Sisters should join the attack, with the two sisters bearing the brunt of the pressure while he uses the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to launch the assault.
As for the Wildfire Sparrow and the Tier 3 Puppet, they can be used as trump cards.
But just as quickly, he couldn't wait decades.
Waiting so long to take revenge... there are always things going to happen in the meantime, who knows what might happen during this time.
He didn't want to wait a moment longer for revenge!
Then there's only one way.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wei Yiling and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you should know that besides my expertise in alchemy, I am also a physician. Back then, when you were poisoned by lustful evil, it was I who used my magic to dispel it for you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Yiling interrupted him, her face flushed red: "Pah, pah, pah!"
"Ugh, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Judging from her reaction, it was clear that she was recalling how she had exposed herself in front of Li Ping back then.
Li Ping didn't continue, but solemnly said, "In any case, let me see how badly your sister's injuries are? Perhaps I have a way to heal her."
In order to eliminate the threat of the Four Fiends of the East Sea, he decided to use the power of the Nourishing Life Technique to heal Wei Yiling's sworn sister and help her recover her strength as soon as possible.
Having reached the Core Formation stage, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to slightly reveal the special features of his Health Preservation Technique.
Speaking of which...
Although the cultivation conditions for "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue" are harsh, requiring both superior cultivation aptitude and exceptional alchemy talent, in such a vast land as the Great Zhou, he may not be the only one practicing this technique.
It's even possible that powerful forces with Nascent Soul cultivators in charge might specifically train cultivators of the "Ze Shui Nourishing Life Technique" for unforeseen circumstances.
He only treated Wei Yiling's adopted sister. Not to mention that the secret was hard to leak, even if it were leaked, it was unlikely to lead to any strange developments.
"Do you have a way to heal Shuangmei's injuries?" Wei Yiling's expression became excited.
Li Ping nodded: "It's just a try. Even if it doesn't work, it won't cause any problems, right?"
"Okay, I'll trust you this once. Come with me!" Wei Yiling stood up impatiently and led Li Ping toward the main house in the courtyard.
Li Ping got up with a smile and followed, and soon he saw Wei Yiling's sister, Feng Xishuang.
Feng Xishuang was a young girl wearing a yellow silk dress. Her appearance was comparable to Wei Yiling's, but her facial features were much softer, giving people a feeling of pity, unlike Wei Yiling's aggressive demeanor.
The two men's appearances and personalities also fit Li Ping's preconceived notions about this type of group.
Upon seeing Wei Yiling lead the strange man into the house, Feng Xishuang quickly stood up from her cross-legged rest. However, due to her serious injuries, she had difficulty moving around, so Wei Yiling quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Shuangmei, be careful." Wei Yiling carefully reminded Feng Xishuang as she helped her up.
"Mmm," Feng Xishuang responded softly, looking weak.
Then Wei Yiling pointed to Li Ping and introduced him to her: "Li Ping, Fellow Daoist Li, is an old friend of mine. He is a third-level alchemist. The antidote pill you took was made by him at my request."
Feng Xishuang looked at Li Ping, a smile appearing on her face: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Ping smiled and nodded.
Wei Yiling then explained, "Fellow Daoist Li is also a very skilled physician, so I specially invited him to come and treat your injuries."
"I see." Feng Xishuang said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Ping nodded: "Given my friendship with Fellow Daoist Wei, Fellow Daoist Feng, you don't need to be so polite."
Immediately, Feng Xishuang and Li Ping sat cross-legged facing each other. She stretched out her arm, rolled up her sleeve to her forearm, and extended it in front of Li Ping.
Li Ping didn't stand on ceremony. After saying "excuse me," he directly grabbed her slender, jade-like arm, closed his eyes, and pretended to be making a serious diagnosis.
In reality, he knew nothing about diagnosis; he was just putting on an act.
He was unsure of the specifics of her injuries, only that the female cultivator's arms felt as soft and delicate as cream, fresh and tender.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and smiled and nodded under the expectant gazes of Wei and Feng: "Fellow Daoist Feng's injuries are not a big problem. I am confident that I can heal you. However, I do not want too many people to know about my expertise in healing. I hope you two will keep this a secret for me."
"It's wonderful that you can cure me, Fellow Daoist Li." Wei Yiling was overjoyed and immediately promised, "Don't worry, my sister and I will never reveal this matter."
Compared to Wei Yiling's overjoyed expression, Feng Xishuang's expression was somewhat reserved, but Li Ping could tell from her slightly relaxed brows that she was also in a very good mood.
After all, who wants to be a weak, sickly person?
"I will heal Fellow Daoist Feng now. Fellow Daoist Wei, please investigate the location of the Four Fiends of the East Sea during this time!" Li Ping said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yiling revealed a smug smile: "Regarding the location of the Four Fiends of the East Sea, Fellow Daoist Li, you can rest assured. As long as you heal Shuangmei, we can set off to find them at any time."
"Oh? That would be perfect." Li Ping was surprised, but then nodded slightly.
Although the Blood Shadow Sect is the weakest of the four demonic sects in the Western Wilderness, their techniques are exceptional in tracking.
For example, Yan Hengchuan once used a secret technique from the "Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture" to locate Yan Liming's position.
Furthermore, the ability to transform into the limitless can be achieved by tracking across vast distances.
Perhaps Wei Yiling used similar methods on the Four Fiends of the East Sea during the previous fight, which is why she was confident in finding them.
As Li Ping pondered, he used his arm to contact Feng Xishuang and channel the power of his health-preserving technique into her body to heal her injuries.
Back when he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his control over his magical power was insufficient, so he had to place his hand on Xiao Yunzhi's lower abdomen to accurately treat her.
However, after reaching the Core Formation stage, the ability to control magical power is greatly enhanced, and it only requires touching the arm.
