Not to mention Wu Gui, even the newcomers, Wang Di, and Wang Manyun went struck-dumb on hearing Lin Xiao saying to cure an injured Dantian was a guaranteed success.
Dantian was one of the most vital portions of a human body. An injured Dantian may disable or even kill a warrior. What was worse, a pretty feeble organ as it was, the longer the delay was, the harder it could be entirely cured. As was widely acknowledged, an injured Dantian which was left untreated for over a year could hardly recover. Undoubtedly, even if Der Medicus had come back to life, he wouldn't have been able to cure Li Xuan's injured Dantian, which had lasted for three years.
Conversely, according to Lin Xiao, it sounded like a piece of cake to cure Li Xuan, as if the three-year injury was hardly a thorny problem at all. They all wondered, "Is he kidding or not?"
At that moment, Lin Xiao's seemingly light-minded statement aroused a sense of suspicion in Wang Di, who almost worshipped Lin Xiao as an alchemy god, let alone Wang Manyun. It was conceivable that he became suspicious as he only bore witness to Lin Xiao's alchemical skills.
As far as Wu Gui was concerned, he already went thrilled and blinded by the astounding news that he could hardly think of anything else.
Shocked by Wu Gui's unexpected overaction, Lin Xiao nodded with bewilderment when faced with Wu Gui's eager eyes.
"Fantastic! Then Martial brother will be able to make a recovery!" Wu Gui exclaimed in ecstasy, clenching his fists.
"Martial brother?" Lin Xiao asked with exceeding confusion.
"That is Li Xuan. His Dantian has been injured for three years," Wu Gui responded.
As a matter of fact, Lin Xiao didn't look over Lin Xuan, as it was inappropriate. However, as Wu Gui brought him up, compounded with Wu Gui's respect toward Li Xuan, Lin Xiao asked in spite of himself, "What happened to his Dantian?"
Wu Gui hastened to respond, "Martial brother Li Xuan used to be a Tianjiao (it literally means a talent picked by God) of the Taixuan Sect. His martial capacity already reached the fifth level of the Refining Divine Realm one year ago. However, he got wounded by a Suomo senior in a siege of the Suomo Sect. That Suomo senior's fiendish spiral force was so unconquerable that Li Xuan's spiritual energy got terribly impaired. In order to deter the Suomo senior from taking further advantage of his spiritual energy to boost his fiendish martial capacity, Li Xuan destroyed half of his Dantian decisively. In so doing, his martial capacity regressed back to the first level. As a matter of fact, his injury could have been cured. However, in order to keep an eye on the malicious operation of the Suomo Sect, he ruined his Dantian as a whole and became a servant at the Deyue mansion of his own accord."
When Wu Gui was done with his response, he looked back at the fainted Zou Qiang and clenched his fists, a murderous sparkle flashing across his eyes.
On hearing that, Lin Xiao, Wang Di, and Wang Manyun got filled with deep veneration.
People with high competence were most respected on the Fire Metereolite Continent. Hence, Tianjiaos were literally treated as gods. However, Li Xuan decided to destroy his own Dantian to serve the Deyue Mansion as a bartender, which was no different than self-dethronement. Everyone would hold such a heroic patriot in awe.
"It would be a bit different with his case, as he destroyed his Dantian himself, which would be more accurately targeted than being injured by others. However, there is still a way, which would be a bit time-consuming," Lin Xiao added. He might not yet be able to cure Li Xuan for the time being, but it was just a matter of time. His superpower would only work when accompanied by a corresponding approach. However, he would have to take a bit of exercise to attain a good command of it.
"Understood. Wang Di, please help me escort Brother Lin Xiao back. I have to rewind to the Suomo Sect," Wu Gui said. He couldn't wait to share the surprising news with Li Xuan.
Wang Di nodded in agreement on hearing that. However, Lin Xiao stopped Wu Gui from going back.
"You may as well postpone it for a few days. The Suomo Town would be full of hazards now as they might be trying to track us down now since Yan Hui was dead and Zou Qiang is nowhere to be found. Don't give away Brother Li Xuan's identity or position."
Wu Gui had long been obedient to Lin Xiao. Though he desired to return to the Suomo Town, he accepted Lin Xiao's suggestion right away with no hesitation.
They proceeded with their journey back home, with Zou Qiang on Wu Gui's shoulder.
However, they bumped into the three chief seniors upon their arrival at the Taixuan Sect.
Being anxious to death, the three chief seniors burst into tears when seeing Lin Xiao back safe and sound. And they soon pulled a long face and scolded Wu Gui, "How dare you! Even if you were sliced to death, you wouldn't be able to compensate for your rash action if he came to danger!"
