A glint of shock flashed in Huo Changxing's eyes. His injury was different from ordinary internal injuries. This youth could actually tell. How did he do it? He thought that no one in the Hua Xia ancient martial arts world would be able to discover any clues.
"Your injury is indeed a little strange, but no matter what hidden dangers there are in your body, the principle is the same. Practitioners of medicine are dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the human body. If you can't tell, it's usually because you are not skilled enough. "
Mo Wen explained plainly, seemingly seeing through Huo Changxing's doubts. The injury in Huo Changxing's body was indeed a little strange. It was different from ordinary internal injuries. In other words, it was not that the body had been injured by some external force, but that it had been restricted, causing the body to develop in a pathological direction. In the end, it was the same principle as being sick.
"You are from a medical family?"
Huo Changxing looked deeply at Mo Wen before gradually regaining his composure. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide anything. Moreover, he seemed to be unable to hide anything in front of this youth.
"Can you let me see the hidden injuries in your body?"
Mo Wen nodded slightly. He looked at Huo Changxing with a surprised gaze. The injury in this person's body was a little strange, causing him to be interested.
"What's in my body is not an injury, but … Perhaps it's similar. Although you are a doctor, you can't cure my problem."
Huo Changxing shook his head, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
He was clear about his problem. In the entire Hua Xia ancient martial arts world, there were most likely not many people who knew about it. As for helping him get rid of it, that was even more impossible, unless the mysterious Huatian Palace was willing to help.
"There is a strange energy in your body that is constantly absorbing your life essence like a parasite. You are the parasite's nutrients. If this goes on, I'm afraid that not only will your cultivation regress, but you will also age prematurely and die of exhaustion of life."
Mo Wen said plainly. He could only roughly sense the thing in Huo Changxing's body. However, that strange energy was not just a simple energy. It seemed to have the fluctuation of life aura.
If he was not wrong, it was very likely that the thing in Huo Changxing's body was similar to the Ghost Cultivation Technique of the Ghost Path cultivators. It planted a ghost seed in some people with strong Qi and blood, absorbing the parasite's life essence until one day the ghost seed sprouted and bloomed. Then, it might leave the parasite's body. However, by that time, the parasite would have mostly been devoured into human jerky.
"How did you know?"
Huo Changxing looked at Mo Wen in shock. This was the third time tonight that he had revealed such a bewildered expression. This youth was too strange, as though he knew everything.
"With the absorption ability of the parasite in your body, you won't live for more than five years before your life force withered away," Mo Wen said.
"Not bad."
Huo Changxing looked deeply at Mo Wen. He was silent for a long time before nodding his head slightly. Of course, he knew his own situation very well. The thing in his body was a form of torture to him at all times. The reason why he returned to Huaxia from overseas was because he knew that he didn't have much time left. He returned to his family to take a look, but he didn't expect to encounter a series of events.
He had never been attached to life. He was content with his circumstances and let nature take its course. However, with the decline of his family and the tragic fate of his first love, there were too many things that he needed to protect. He had a strong desire to survive.
"I might be able to save you once," Mo Wen said plainly.
"Are you confident?" A glint of light flashed in Huo Changxing's eyes as he looked at Mo Wen with a burning gaze. At the beginning, he didn't believe that this youth could help him. However, right now, he was a little convinced. This youth was too strange. He seemed to know everything and was somewhat unfathomable.
"We'll know once we try. However, I don't simply save people. Today, I saved you because of the relationship between Qin Xiaoyou and her mother. I hope that you will treat Wang Huiru well in the future. Otherwise, even if I save you today, I will take your life later."
Mo Wen looked at Huo Changxing and said plainly. Wang Huiru had raised her daughter alone. She was lonely and helpless, so it was good to have someone to rely on in the future. After all, when her daughter grew up, it would be impossible for her to stay by her side all the time. In the future, with someone by her side, life would not be so tough. However, Mo Wen was afraid that the Huo Clan would have some changes, so he might as well say the unpleasant things first.
"Don't worry. Her life is more important than mine. Even without you, I won't let her suffer any grievances."
Huo Changxing said plainly.
"I hope you will do as you say."
Mo Wen nodded slightly. Then, with a flash of his silhouette, he appeared in front of Huo Changxing in the blink of an eye. He grabbed him in his hand and dashed into the inner room. A gust of wind blew, and the doors and windows were instantly shut.
Huo Changxing was shocked. When Mo Wen made his move, he actually didn't have any strength to resist.
Mo Wen threw Huo Changxing on the ground and sealed all the acupoints in his body. He pressed one hand on the Baihui acupoint on the top of Huo Changxing's head. Wisps of pure Inner Qi were like little snakes, constantly swimming in Huo Changxing's body.
"As expected, it's a little strange."
After a while, Mo Wen released his hand and furrowed his brows slightly. The thing in Huo Changxing's body didn't seem like a Soul Devourer ghost. It didn't emit any Yin Qi. Instead, it was filled with pure Blood Qi.
"The person who planted that thing in my body is not from the land of Hua Xia, but from the western world."
Although Huo Changxing couldn't move his entire body, he could still open his mouth and speak. The thing in his body was a taboo in the western world. Once it was touched, there was absolutely no possibility of survival. Back then, he had been able to escape from that terrifying place completely because of luck. Otherwise, he would most likely never have been able to return to this rich land that had raised him.
"The western world?"
Mo Wen was stunned. Then, he immediately started to ponder.
"Do you know about vampires?"
Huo Changxing asked with a serious expression. Vampires were not foreign to the western world. As an ancient martial art practitioner who lived in the western world, he would occasionally meet one. However, those were merely mixed-blood descendants. Although they were said to be miraculous, they might not be much stronger than the ancient martial art practitioners of Hua Xia. Also, they were not immortal. Other than having a longer lifespan than ordinary people, they would still die of illness and old age.
Other than mixed-blood descendants, legend had it that there was a type of true pure-blooded vampires. They only existed in legends and rarely appeared. That type of pure-blooded vampires not only had shocking abilities, but their lifespans were also very long. They often had a lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years. However, they could not always live normally. Instead, they needed to recover their vitality through sleep. The longer the pure-blooded vampires slept, the more powerful they were.
Therefore, that type of pure-blooded vampires were all very fond of sleeping. Usually, they would sleep for decades. Under normal circumstances, the chances of encountering them were very low. Not to mention encountering them by chance, even if one specifically looked for them, it would most likely be very difficult to find them.
However, Huo Changxing was very unlucky. He had encountered a pure-blooded vampire, who had planted that deadly thing in his body.
"Vampire!"
Mo Wen glanced at Huo Changxing in shock. His eyes had a hint of understanding. He was not unfamiliar with vampires. They were a type of strong creature in the western world. It was said that their abilities were not low. Even the Huatian Palace valued them.
When he was in the Huatian Palace, he had been influenced by what he saw and heard. He had a little understanding of some of the hidden existences in this world. Vampires were one of the species that was rather important. On the Huatian Palace's savages list, a few people were vampires.
However, the western world was also very big. Its various structures were rather complicated. Vampires were just one of them.
"The person who attacked me was a pure-blooded vampire," Huo Changxing said with a sigh.
There were very few pure-blooded vampires. It was very difficult to find traces of pure-blooded vampires within the Blood Kindred. However, he had encountered one. His luck could not be said to be not bad.
If it was just those mixed-blood descendants, how could they possibly have such methods? With his Embryonic Breathing realm cultivation, he might not necessarily be afraid of them.
"The thing in your body is indeed something good."
Mo Wen nodded his head and concluded. That ball of strange energy waves not only contained the aura of life, but it was also filled with incomparably pure Qi and blood power. The majesty of the Qi and blood shocked even him. If he could extract it and concoct it into a panacea, it would most likely have a very powerful effect.
Upon hearing this, Huo Changxing laughed bitterly. That thing planted in his body was like a terminal illness. Every day, he could only watch helplessly as he walked towards death. Mo Wen actually said that it was something good. What was so good about it?
"Guard your mind and don't have any distracting thoughts. I will help you extract that thing," Mo Wen said plainly.
He extended his hand and wiped the medicine spiritual ring on his finger. A small wooden box appeared in his hand. It was the Ming Cult's relic, the Ming Yang Ancient Needle. Of course, when he was retrieving it, Mo Wen chose a blind spot and did not let Huo Changxing see it.
Upon hearing this, Huo Changxing was shocked. Could this youth really be able to retrieve the demonic seed left behind by the pure-blooded vampire? After the shock, he hurriedly took a deep breath and guarded his mind. At this moment, he could only listen to Mo Wen. After all, he had no other choice. He could only treat a hopeless situation as a last resort.
In the dark room, Mo Wen's expression was solemn. His body emitted a faint radiance. A circle of flickering golden flames enveloped his surroundings.
Huo Changxing's body was pierced by dozens of long golden needles. Moreover, there were more and more of them. His entire body was almost covered.
With the increasing number of long needles, the Qi and blood in Huo Changxing's body began to boil and become more and more unstable. Moreover, Qi and blood were constantly seeping out of his skin. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
The Qi and blood that were seeping out did not disperse. Instead, they gathered together and attempted to condense into a shape. However, every time a certain amount of Qi and blood were gathered, there would be a mass of golden flames enveloping it, completely evaporating the Qi and blood.
As time passed, Mo Wen's expression became more and more solemn. The golden flames on his body increased, making him look like a fire god. Even Huo Changxing's body was enveloped in a layer of golden flames.
In just a quarter of an hour, Huo Changxing's expression began to contort. It was as if he was suffering from some intense pain. However, he could not speak. His face had turned blood red, as if blood could drip out of it. In his body, there was actually a burst of strange shrieks. The sound was very strange. Although it was not loud, it could penetrate gold and crack rocks. It seemed to be a sound wave technique. If a normal person heard it, they would immediately bleed from their orifices and die.
