Chapter 413
Zhong Ming returned upright.
Why not "standing"? Because a woman explained, "Your injuries are too severe. There are steel rods inserted into every key acupoint in your body. Moving around carelessly will have serious consequences. You must return to the camp and let the oldest doctor in the medical team treat you."
So the altar was cut off along the location of Zhong Ming, along with Zhong Ming's "bed", a bunch of steel pillars and restraining chains, and the evil relief that had been blown to pieces, and transported back to the camp.
Cough cough, cut just right, placed upright in the transport ship.
In fact, until he boarded the ship, Zhong Ming did not realize the seriousness of the problem. It was only when the female cultivators on the ship "frequently glanced at him," "pointed and whispered," and "covered their faces and laughed" that Zhong Ming's brain, which had been blank for a while, finally came to its senses.
Damn it, I was naked.
That scoundrel He Li Zhenren didn't even leave me a pair of underwear!
He was too weak to be angry. He saw the battalion commander's wife come up to him and say a few words. No matter how hard he tried to recall them afterward, he couldn't remember them. He just fell into a deep sleep after hearing them.
When he woke up again, the roles had reversed.
01 The eldest sister sat by his hospital bed, looking down at him.
The familiar ward, the familiar location, made Zhong Ming wonder if they had deliberately placed him here.
At the ward entrance, a mechanical arm could be vaguely seen, along with the complaining voice of a medical monk, probably because Yue Kaishan, that stubborn fellow, had spent too much time here.
"Welcome back to this wretched world, Number 34. All the work you owe has been recorded. Perhaps you'll need to spend more time in the maintenance team." Sister 01 flipped open a small notebook with one hand, nodding as she read, while her other hand rested on the edge of the bed, her fingers tapping incessantly on the bed.
"What you're doing is... settling accounts..."
"Hmm, would you like some water?"
"Yes~~" Before Zhong Ming could finish speaking, the water glass was already brought to his lips. Before his mind could process what was going on, his thirsty lips were already pressed against it.
After taking a sip, my parched throat felt much better.
01 said unhurriedly, "Nourishing Meridian Spirit Tea, one cup for every ten military merits," and then with a swish, she scribbled on her notebook, "Add one more day of work."
"Cough cough~~" Zhong Ming started coughing violently, as if she was about to vomit up the cup of tea. Her hand froze there. Fortunately, after a few breaths, Zhong Ming gave up the idea and said in a low voice, "Do you have any free boiled water? Give me a cup."
"Nothing is offered for free here. Also... the group leader is personally taking care of you, which is worth... fifty military merit points. I'll add that to your account." 01's jade-like hand made another stroke on the notebook, as if it had slashed Zhong Ming's heart. A non-existent but real piercing pain shot into his flesh.
"No, no, no... Hey~~ Let me be alone for a while (please go away)."
"OK, all right."
Zhong Ming never expected her to be so decisive, and even doubted his own ears.
She walked to the door, tugged at the mechanical arm, and then Yue Kaishan's burly body completely blocked the ward door.
"Brother Yue...
"Brother Cuihong, you're awake. I heard you were seriously injured this time, so I didn't dare to do anything rash. Can you speak? If you need to rest, I'll leave right away."
"It's alright... just speak slowly." Zhong Ming said shyly, he was in an unusually good state right now, he had never felt so good in his life.
His physical body was utterly broken, but his spiritual power remained as swift as an arm.
Is this the child's talent? No, to be precise, is this the talent that a normal, outstanding cultivator should have?
What a miserable life I was living before!
The spiritual energy was mobilized. Although after the talent exchange, because the child named Chong'er had never cultivated, there was no spiritual energy in his dantian, the spiritual energy in the dragon vein was still abundant. With a little effort, a large amount of spiritual energy began to circulate in the broken meridians and, with the help of the meridian-suppressing object, began to circulate in the Great Heavenly Cycle.
When a normal person's meridians are damaged, the biggest weakness is that they cannot circulate spiritual energy, which will cause spiritual energy to become turbulent. If they are unlucky, the injury will be more serious. However, Zhong Ming has the pull of the meridian-suppressing object, so he does not need to "rest" or "wait for the pills to take effect". He can repair his injury with his own spiritual energy.
He was chatting while practicing his internal energy, so his mind wasn't working very fast.
“I made some inquiries and found out that the He Li Zhenren who ambushed you is from a family south of Jueya City. Their strength is about the same as my family's, but a little stronger than my Yue family's. They have an extra fake Golden Core that they fed to them with pills. You are a guest of my family. I have already told my cousin to tell the family that this revenge must be taken.”
"A fake Golden Elixir? Then what about the battalion commander's wife...?"
"The battalion commander's wife said she didn't encounter that person, but it has already been reported. Anyone who dares to betray the dynasty will be hunted down to the ends of the earth."
Take this with a grain of salt. Anyway, the slogans are loud and clear, but the dynasty has as many enemies as lice. Of the three people who go to the border and beat someone to death, two have grudges against them, and the other is there to seek revenge.
"The battalion commander's wife gathered the troops in retaliation for the 'forced' attack on our battalion by the 135th Battalion. Many elite troops from other battalions with whom we had good relations came to support us. As a result, we swept through the enemy and almost annihilated them all."
"Which family do they belong to?"
"A Guo family that was not well-known, not the Guo family in the capital, but a small family that surrendered to the dynasty on the way to the southern expedition."
Yue Kaishan was furious. How dare the Guo family act like this? If they were a few levels higher in cultivation, he would have single-handedly crushed the lair of these audacious thieves.
"The point isn't the Guo family... cough cough, the point is... I was attacked inside the camp." This is far more serious than "having my talent stolen."
A captain was teleported away from the most important forging group, the Obsidian Fortress, within the heavily guarded camp, which meant they could attack almost anyone in the camp if they wanted to.
"It seems there will be a purge. Brother Yue, you should be careful too."
"I'm not afraid. I've done nothing wrong. Anyone who tries to mess with me is a traitor." Yue Kaishan raised his fist, but since joining the Shield Guard, no matter how much his cultivation level increased, the power of his fist did not increase at all.
All defenses are stacked.
"Brother Yue, it's better to be careful. It seems we'll have to be more cautious in the camp from now on."
"Yes, I'll sleep wearing my armor."
"That stinks." Suddenly, a female voice interrupted the conversation. Zhong Ming looked up slightly, and behind Yue Kaishan's heavy body, a medical cultivator with even more developed "chest muscles" stepped out.
