The atmosphere in the operating theater was depressing.
"Don't be nervous. I've prepared a contingency plan. There are two of them!"
Sun Mo's hands were placed on Jiang Leng's body. As he dealt with the shattered spirit runes, he consoled Jiang Leng warmly.
"Teacher is so gentle!"
Li Ziqi sighed ruefully.
At such a time, no matter how stubborn Jiang Leng sounded, saying that he wasn't afraid, his heart would definitely be filled with panic and nervousness. However, after his teacher consoled him, he clearly relaxed.
"Very meticulous!"
An Xinhui viewed Sun Mo from another angle. Given Sun Mo's identity, even if Jiang Leng was a great teacher, he wouldn't need to care about the other party's feelings. However, he was still consoling Jiang Leng.
In addition to the two treatment plans, it could be said that Sun Mo had considered every detail before treating Jiang Leng.
"Plan 1: I will first use the muscleforge technique to repair your muscles, then use the skin beautifying technique to help you remove the spirit rune-shaped scars on your skin."
Sun Mo introduced.
In fact, letting the patient know the treatment plan was also a good way to calm them down.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Leng + 100. Respect (1,500/10000).
When Sun Mo heard the system's notification, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Leng. As expected of someone with a dead face. From his face, there were no traces of being moved at all. However, he had contributed favorable impression points.
But very soon, Sun Mo no longer had the mood to speak because he discovered that the problem was much more serious than he had expected.
Cultivators also knew that spirit runes could greatly increase one's combat prowess, but they still wouldn't easily inscribe spirit runes on their bodies. Because once they were damaged, it would be extremely troublesome to repair them.
This was like a tattoo. Once it was tattooed, there was no room for regret.
Spirit runes were even more terrifying than this. Because some spirit rune grandmasters used techniques and potions that could allow spirit runes to pass through the skin and directly inscribe them onto the muscles.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, it was possible to change one's skin. However, after large chunks of muscles were dug out, it was extremely difficult to regrow them.
The medical skills and Spirit Herbs required were extremely rare and expensive. Even if one had the money, they might not be able to do it.
An Xinhui could clearly sense that Sun Mo's gaze had changed. His movements also slowed down slightly. Clearly, he was revising his plan.
The spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body weren't only on his skin and muscles. There were also a large number of spirit runes on his energy channels and bones.
What did that mean?
Just this Hand Drawing Technique alone was sufficient for that spirit rune master to obtain the title of great ancestor-level spirit rune master. In the entire Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, the number of such spirit rune masters could be counted on one hand.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these spirit runes, but in the eyes of grandmasters like Sun Mo, they could tell that they were alive.
Ordinary spirit runes could only be activated by injecting spirit qi into them. However, these spirit runes had some feelers that were like the roots of a great tree. They pierced into Jiang Leng's energy channels and were constantly absorbing the spirit qi in his body, circulating on their own.
If Jiang Leng didn't encounter Sun Mo, he would definitely be crippled. Because, even if there were highly skilled doctors and peak-grade spirit medicine that could allow Jiang Leng to regrow his muscles and repair the traces of spirit runes, there was no way to remove these marks on his energy channels.
When Jiang Leng circulated his spirit qi, they would be like many holes that were leaking spirit qi. Moreover, they would cause damage to his muscles.
"Luckily, I have the ancient massage technique!"
Sun Mo calmed his heart and performed the circulation technique. It was like shaving off the roots of a great tree, removing the traces of spirit runes. After that, he repaired the energy channels, allowing them to be completely connected without any loopholes.
Just this right arm alone took Sun Mo a total of six hours to repair. Because there were simply too many roots and they were all very small, in addition to the fact that the energy channels were very fragile, he had to be very careful.
Li Ziqi stood at Sun Mo's side, helping him wipe his sweat. Right now, she had already used two handkerchiefs. There was no solution to it, he was sweating too much.
"Teacher, if you can't do it, why don't we do it another day?"
Jiang Leng felt a little heartache. Sun Mo looked very fatigued.
What Sun Mo was doing now, for example, was threading ten threads into the eye of a needle that was smaller than a sesame seed. He did it for a total of six hours.
"I'm fine, but can you still lie down?"
Sun Mo admired Jiang Leng's endurance very much. An ordinary person would definitely go crazy if they lay motionless for six hours.
Finally, the energy channels were repaired. After that, Sun Mo started to perform the bone setting technique. At the same time, he was observing the reactions of these spirit runes.
One must know that the spirit runes on Jiang Leng's skin were damaged, but the ones on his bones weren't. Sun Mo was sure that these were definitely the core spirit runes.
As expected, these spirit runes were very sturdy. It was very strenuous to use the 'bone setting technique' to 'erase' them.
Sun Mo couldn't rely on himself. Hence, he summoned the genie.
"Ziqi, cast the Retentive Memory halo on me!"
Sun Mo instructed. He wanted to memorize the meridians of the spirit runes on the bones.
"Alright!"
Li Ziqi released the great teacher halo.
An Xinhui, who was at the side, jumped in fright. She couldn't help but widen her eyes as she surveyed Li Ziqi. (My heavens, this girl actually has the strength to become a great teacher?)
"When did you comprehend the self-taught skill?"
An Xinhui was curious.
"Last year when I was training in the Darkness Continent, Teacher's guidance allowed me to gain enlightenment and comprehend the self-taught skill!"
Li Ziqi replied.
"You have to work hard, becoming a great teacher at the age of 13 and comprehending the Retentive Memory. If this was reported to the Saint Gate, you'd definitely break the record!"
An Xinhui encouraged. At the same time, she sighed ruefully in her heart.
Sun Mo's teaching methods were very good. Moreover, even though Li Ziqi was a princess of the Great Tang Dynasty, she was still very respectful toward him. This was very rare.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 100. Respect (9,900/10000).
"It's all because Teacher has taught me well!"
Li Ziqi smiled faintly, pushing all the credit to Sun Mo.
An Xinhui didn't say anything else. She knew that she should maintain silence at this moment. She had asked earlier because she was too curious.
Speaking of which, she was Li Ziqi's teacher's wife.
The only pity was that this girl's athletic ability was too bad and she couldn't enter the Longevity Realm. No matter how high her intellect was, if she died early, she wouldn't have any great achievements.
After that, there was a very long period of silence. The atmosphere in the room froze. Finally, Sun Mo spoke.
"Alright, let's start the next step!"
Sun Mo started to perform the muscleforge technique to repair his muscles. However, this was a process that required a lot of time and effort.
The spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body were too dense, and the scars left behind were very hard to heal.
Luckily, the muscles didn't need to be meticulous. Three hours later, Sun Mo was done. After that, he started to perform the skin beautifying technique.
When the two girls personally saw the skin on Jiang Leng's right arm, from the spirit rune scars to the white and glossy skin, they were so shocked that their breathing almost stopped.
In this world, the ones who were most afraid of scars would definitely be women.
In order to remove scars and remove wrinkles, women would spend a lot of money on cosmetics. They wouldn't even frown.
When the scar on his finger was finally removed, Sun Mo couldn't hold on anymore and directly sat down.
Pak!
An Xinhui's eyes were sharp and her hands moved quickly, supporting Sun Mo.
"The surgery was very successful!"
Sun Mo smiled and consoled Jiang Leng.
"Teacher!"
Jiang Leng flipped and jumped off the wooden bed. After that, he knelt before Sun Mo and kowtowed three times.
For his sake, his teacher had performed the surgery for 14 hours, overdrafting a large amount of stamina and spirit qi. How could he repay such a favor?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Leng + 1,000. Respect (2,500/10000).
"Aren't you going to check your arm?"
Sun Mo teased.
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi passed a cup of warm water over, wanting to feed it to Jiang Leng.
"I'm not that weak yet!"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes and took the cup to drink.
"It's been hard on you!"
An Xinhui had already prepared the dishes for Sun Mo. They were all hot and could be eaten at any time.
Jiang Leng waved his fist. Once the stagnant spirit qi circulated to his right shoulder, it would immediately become smooth and unobstructed. It was like his spirit qi was flowing into the ocean.
It had been a very long time since Jiang Leng experienced such a feeling.
"Teacher, I'm done!"
Jiang Leng was very agitated.
"Wait for me to rest for a day. I'll help you repair all the damaged spirit runes on your body!"
Sun Mo was smiling, but there was an unremovable haze between his brows.
Everyone had stayed here for over ten hours and were both tired and hungry. An Xinhui got Jiang Leng and Li Ziqi to return to their dorm while she helped Sun Mo back to the villa.
The little sunny egg didn't listen and followed behind Sun Mo.
After bathing, Sun Mo came to the living room and discovered that another set of piping hot dishes had been prepared.
"The Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is really too amazing."
Li Ziqi sighed ruefully. If Jiang Leng hadn't encountered her teacher, he would have been crippled for life.
Sun Mo bitterly smiled.
"He wasn't cured?"
An Xinhui frowned.
"I don't know either, but I feel that it definitely isn't so simple!"
Sun Mo thought of the few Heim Pearls in Jiang Leng's body.
"It's definitely not simple. There are only a few spirit rune great ancestors who can inscribe such spirit runes. It's very easy to find the answer by using the elimination method."
Li Ziqi cast a worried glance at Sun Mo. In any case, the other party was definitely a major character. It would be very troublesome if they offended him.
"That might not be the case. It might be a dark great teacher!"
An Xinhui's expression was heavy.
"Don't worry too much!"
Sun Mo's tone was relaxed.
"Little Momo, you would only say this because you haven't met a dark great teacher before."
An Xinhui was the top graduate of the Heavenly Mystery Academy and had the chance to exchange blows with two dark great teachers before.
Dark great teachers were those who had committed all sorts of crimes or were unwilling to be restricted by the Saint Gate. They did things their own way and escaped to the Darkness Continent.
The majority of these dark great teachers would join an organization called Dark Dawn. They could be said to be a great enemy of the Saint Gate.
"The spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body should be very rare. If it was a failed attempt, he should have been discarded. But why wasn't he killed? Now that you have cured him, trouble would surely come. "
An Xinhui analyzed.
Jiang Leng's fame wasn't great, but Sun Mo's was. Hence, this young man with the word 'trash' on his forehead would definitely enter the sights of others because of Sun Mo.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. We can't possibly not cure Jiang Leng just because we have some trepidation, right?"
Sun Mo indicated for everyone to set their minds at ease. "Ziqi, go and get a brush and paper. While my memory is still clear, I have to quickly draw out the spirit runes!"
At this moment, the system notification rang out.
