Chapter 133: Blood Element, Healing Element

“Xiang Xiaoqing? What are you doing here?”

As soon as I asked to be let in inside the room, the nurses didn’t think twice about opening the door for me. And once I got there, a familiar face greeted me. Her white hair was tied to a bun and she was sweating all over. She was just wearing a shirt so it was hard not to look at her.

“Yongrui, you’re here.” She said with a problematic face as she wiped the sweat off her brows. It was clear that she was exhausted but she was trying hard not to show it. As I closed my eyes and detected the amount of Qi Energy she has left, I realized that her reserves were almost depleted and she was close to losing her consciousness.

But nevertheless, she still continued on with trying to treat the children. When I tried to sense her Qi Energy, I realized that her Qi Energy was covering the whole room and she was trying to stabilize everyone’s Qi Cores. From the looks of it, she probably wasn’t moving forward with focusing on just one patient so she decided to try to halt everyone’s deterioration, buying time for someone capable to treat them.

I pulled out a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the sweat from her face and the nape of her neck. Because of the sweat, she looked even more appealing than before but I ignored it. This is not the place and time to be staring at someone. I have a lot of time to do that later but right now, the children should come first.

And also, I’ll feel bad if they die after I saved them. That would leave a bitter taste in my mouth and I’ll probably feel everlasting guilt.

“You’ve done well, Xiaoqing, now let me take care of the rest,” I reassured her. “And also, take this.” I continued, handing her one of the fatigue potions that the System gave me. From what I know, it is very effective in getting rid of someone’s fatigue. Although I haven’t tried it before, I think it would work since the System has never lied to me, not even once.

“What’s this?” Xiang Xiaoqing asked as she observed the bottle. There wasn’t any trace of Qi Energy coming from the bottle but it certainly looked weird since the color was transparent like water.

“That’s a potion I got from someone. It gets rid of fatigue and it might recover the Qi Energy you’ve depleted. You have to take care of yourself, Xiaoqing, you can’t afford to overwork yourself like that. You’d have become a cripple a moment ago if I didn’t arrive in time.” I said.

“Yongrui, do you need any help? With my Light Element, I might be of assistance to you.” Master Shi Yanmei inquired.

“No, the Light Element is of no use to these children. The virus had done decent damage to their System and their Qi Cores are on the verge of breaking. Xiaoqing chose the right option to stall the deterioration of their Qi Cores. Had she tried to really fix it, she would’ve shortened the lifespan of their Cores even further. And also, a highly potent healing element might give the opposite result.” I reasoned.

“Then, what are you “

I closed off my mind and tried to ignore everyone. I’ve already said my two cents and I knew that time was running out. I didn’t want to explain everything to them so I just indirectly told them to not get in the way. Although I’m not sure if this method will work or not, I knew that this gives a higher chance of survivability to the children. It worked before, but now, I’m stronger and my System level is relatively higher as well. With the same skills and my Blood Element, I know that I can help these children.

First, I activated the skill that grants heal through the blood element.

<Blood Transfer activated.>

<Blood Control activated.>

<Virus control activated.>

<Qi Energy Conversion activated.>

Second, the Blood Control skill allows me to control the blood of the children. This skill synergizes really well with my third skill Virus Control. Virus Control helps me control the Virus in someone else’s body. As for my fourth skill, it allows me to transform my Qi Energy into pure blood to help with the recovery of someone. All in all, these four skills are basically healing skills but they’re directly connected with the Blood Element.

In a split second, a strange Red Aura erupted from my body as these four skills were activated. I heard a few gasps in the background but those were probably just my imagination since there were a lot of people in the room. Without further ado, I used my Blood Control skill to control the blood of the children and to try to examine what’s wrong with them.

Just as I expected, there’s still a bit of Virus in their body and it’s slowly multiplying. I’m guessing it’s because they were exposed to the virus on their way to the shelter as they were brought by my Subordinates. Since their immune systems were still weak and recovering, they didn’t stand a chance against the airborne virus. This is just like someone turning into a rabid human when they are on the verge of dying and a wound was exposed to the airborne virus. With a weak and dying body, it’s easy to be infected with the Virus.

I immediately activated my Third Skill to control the virus and try to gather them in one place, preferably at their fingertips. And while I did that, I struggled to stand up and pricked their index finger with an acupuncture needle just so I could get the Virus out of their blood. Since I’ve done this before, it was easier to execute it now.

With that done, I immediately activated my first skill to grant heal on their blood. And while I’m doing that, I used my Qi Energy Conversion to turn my Qi Energy into their blood type and I transfused it through their pricked index fingers.

In just a few seconds, their countenance slowly reverted to normal (they were utterly pale before). But I didn’t stop there, I continued transfusing my blood and purifying their blood with the use of my first skill. Although the name of my first skill is Blood Transfer, it essentially works as purifying the blood for some odd reason.

“Are you seeing this, Xiaoqing?” Shi Meili asked, nudging Xiaoqing by the shoulder. (I was already past the critical phase so I had enough energy to open my eyes)

“Yeah, why?” Xiaoqing asked, her eyes unblinking.

“Is this the healing element? Do you know what he’s doing right now?”

“Even I have no idea what Yongrui’s doing. Xiaoqing, if you can enlighten us as to what’s happening, I’ll be grateful.” Master Shi Yanmei butted into the conversation.

“Actually, I have no idea what Yongrui’s doing as well. It may look like the Healing Element but he’s controlling Blood wait… is that the Blood Element?!” Xiang Xiaoqing exclaimed, almost throwing me off my focus.

“Shhh! You almost made me jump up.” I calmly said as I continued with what I’m doing. “Keep it down, Xiaoqing.”

“Sorry.” Xiaoqing apologetically said.

This time, the group talked with quieter voices as they tried to watch me. Seriously, what are they even doing inside this small clinic? It’s not like they’re helping me cure these kids!

Before I could complain even further, Xiaoqing approached me and patted her handkerchief on my forehead. I didn’t even realize that I was already sweating so much. Thankfully, Xiaoqing returned the gesture and wiped the sweat off my face. Now that her face was uncomfortably close to mine, I couldn’t help but bask in her sweet-smelling self. Yes, her smell was akin to a garden of flowers. It was simply pleasant.

Wait, I shouldn’t lose my concentration! Focus! Yongrui!

“When I was training my Healing Element, I met Yao Qiqiang, the most proficient cultivator in the lightning element.” Xiaoqing began as she continued wiping my sweat which was continually dripping from my forehead.

“One time, I asked him how he became the best cultivator in the Healing Element even though he’s just in the Dao Realm.” Xiaoqing continued. “When I asked that, he raised his hand and shook his head, signaling that I shouldn’t speak of the matter further. And just when I was about to say something else, he told me a story of a legendary cultivator who’s at the Peak Transcendence Realm. That healer travels all across the land, healing people with the use of his Blood Element. To this day, I’ve never seen someone who uses the Blood Element. But… there’s no doubt about it. Yongrui is using the Blood Element right now. If I remember clearly, Yao Qiqiang said that the Blood Element is far superior to the Healing Element. And now I know why.”

Liu Zhi’s party and the rest of the ladies with Shi Yanmei all nodded vigorously. They completely believed what Xiaoqing told them while I was there, trying to suppress the blush that tried to appear on my face.

Is Blood Element really that good? Why am I learning this now?!
