Chapter 462 Blending
Niang Rong was no longer able to hold back after hearing Duanmu Rong's enthusiastic words, and all the resentment in her heart disappeared completely.

"Sister Rong, you are right here! You are so mysterious, I thought you were in some luxurious palace."

Duanmu Rong was embarrassed.

"Rong'er, it's my fault. The teacher asked me to..."

"Forget it. I never hold grudges. Cheng Jiao is looking for Ju Zi. Let's go out for a walk."

"This……"

"Let's go. With Meng Niang here, we are not afraid even if the gods come!"

Niang Rong pointed at Meng Niang and said proudly, "Don't worry, we have the gods to protect you."

She had just heard it from the conversation between Cheng Jiao and Meng Niang, and only then did she realize that her backers were becoming more and more powerful.

Nian Duan fixed his eyes on Meng Niang. He didn't expect that she was already a celestial being. He really underestimated the heroes of the world.

"Rong'er, go ahead and be careful."

Ya Fei and Xue Nu looked at the giant in black robe and were a little disappointed. They thought he was a heroic figure, but he concealed everything.

"Sir, we are going too."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly, saying that it would be better to have fewer people so that it would be easier to talk.

After Niang Rong and others left, only Cheng Jiao and three others were left in the courtyard.

The six-fingered black knight sat under the pavilion and said, "Master Cheng Jiao, I wonder why you came to Shouchun?"

Cheng Jiao briefly recounted the incident.

"I see," the Six-Fingered Black Knight twirled his beard, "Oh, by the way, I just have something to tell you. Tian Guang, the chief farmer, used the method you told me and accidentally discovered that some seeds are very resistant to drought, flood and disease, and they produce a lot more wheat grains."

Cheng Jiao was slightly stunned. He was just casually talking about some basic methods learned in high schools, such as hybridization, and this was a result?

"So fast?"

Nian Duan said thoughtfully: "I have always heard that farmers have special methods to ripen crops. It seems to be true."

"That's right. The reason why the Nong family can be called the descendants of Shennong is because of this lineage. The exercises they practice have special abilities, similar to the spiritual power condensed by the gods, but somewhat different. It has a miraculous effect on the growth of crops. However, it can only be limited to a small part."

Speaking of seeds, the Six-Fingered Black Knight went on to talk about the farm tools described by Cheng Jiao.

"I have already made the prototypes of these farm tools, but they are still too bulky and need to be simplified. It would be best if they could be used by farmers alone, otherwise they would be meaningless."

After listening to this, Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. He still underestimated this world with mechanical arts, internal strength, spiritual power and even mythology.

What I thought would take two to three years was accomplished in just three months.

After the Six-Fingered Black Knight finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I don't know why you are here, young master."

Cheng Jiao didn't hold back and told the whole story about Jingwei directly.

Nian Duan nodded slightly: "I have seen some cases like this before. They are not difficult to treat, but they need careful care. And the sooner the better. There is no need to wait until the age of three."

The six-fingered black knight helped and said, "Chang'an Jun has made great contributions to the people of the world. I hope Nian Duan can help you."

"This is natural..."

Before Nian Duan could say anything, he suddenly coughed again and took out a piece of silk to wipe the blood he coughed up.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight frowned and said, "Is your illness... getting worse again?"

"You know, this isn't a disease, it's not serious or not. I forced myself to break through to the heavenly realm three years ago, so I deserve this disaster."

"Alas! Why are you so anxious..."

"But now you haven't found Master Lu. I can wait, but Rong'er can't. Without the coordination of spiritual power, Rong'er's illness cannot be cured."

The six-fingered black knight was speechless. He had been to the retreat of the previous tyrant several times, Niu Shou Village in Zhao State, but unfortunately there was no trace of him. He asked around in the village and found out that he had gone out to travel.

"Nian Duan, when I find Master Lu, I will ask him to heal your wounds."

“No need for that. My injury is not an ordinary one. Medicine is useless. It requires a large amount of spiritual power to make up for it, and spiritual power…” At the end, Nian Duan shook her head. Even if Master Lu gave her all his spiritual power, it might not be enough.

Cheng Jiao's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I wonder where Master Nian Duan is injured? Maybe I can find a way to solve it."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly exclaimed, "My friend, have you achieved a breakthrough? You are a genius!"

"It was just luck, a chance encounter."

Nian Duan was not surprised, as he had already discovered that Cheng Jiao was unusual.

"You have a lot of spiritual power?"

Cheng Jiao groaned and said, "I can only say that it is a lot, but it depends on how much the master needs."

As he spoke, a pill of Huiling Pill appeared in Cheng Jiao's hand. Now this thing was like candy beans to him, he wanted too much of it. If he could use it to make Nian Duan work for him for a few years, it would be well worth it.

"I need five." Nian Duan sensed for a while and said slowly.

What is needed is quite a lot, at least three times the spiritual power in Bai Luan's body.

Cheng Jiao muttered to himself.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I can indeed take out five Soul Restoring Pills..."

Nian Duan smiled helplessly and said, "Sir, if you have any request, just tell me."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight did not say anything. As long as Cheng Jiao's request was not excessive, he supported the exchange between Cheng Jiao and Nian Duan.

"Master Nian Duan's medical skills are the best in the world, and I have established a school in Xianyang. Can you please go to Xianyang and stay there temporarily, take up a position in the school, and teach the students some medical skills?"

Nian Duan blinked his eyes, looked at Cheng Jiao and said slowly: "A hundred years ago, the chief priest was not Xun Fu of Xiaoshengxianzhuang. My ancestor worked in Jixia Academy and taught medical skills, but was ostracized and suspected, so he had to leave Qi. Later, he established a rule that the head of a medical school could not teach outside."

Cheng Jiao was speechless, wondering what was wrong with Qi State, why did they exclude doctors for no reason...

Seeing Cheng Jiao's confusion, the Six-Fingered Black Knight explained, "Hundreds of years ago, the great doctor Bian Que treated Duke Huan of Qi, but the king died because he was afraid of seeing a doctor. This incident became a joke and has been ridiculed for many years. The royal family of Qi has always been somewhat resistant to doctors."

"..."

Cheng Jiao really wanted to say, what the hell does this have to do with me.

Nian Duan shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. Even with the spiritual power and medicinal power of this elixir, it can only extend my life by 10 to 20 years. Chang'an Jun, please take it back."

"What? Nian Duan, what happened to you?"

The six-fingered black hero was puzzled and asked, "Can't we heal the wounds if we have enough spiritual power?"

Nian Duan smiled bitterly: "By forcibly breaking through the Heaven Realm, not only my body was injured, but my soul and spirit were also damaged. Spiritual power can heal the injuries in my body, but it cannot make up for the damage to my spirit."

Liuzhi sighed, his spirit was traumatized, and there was nothing he could do except to slowly heal himself.

Judging from Nian Duan's appearance, the mental damage he suffered may be beyond his ability to repair.

Cheng Jiao thought to himself, he knew that such an SSR card was not easy to get.

"Well, Master Nian Duan, I can handle this matter, but I hope there is a compromise that I hope you can agree to."

Nian Duan was surprised and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

As if he had thought of something, Nian Duan asked expectantly, "Are you practicing the techniques of the ancient Qigong practitioners?"

She looked through ancient books and found only the methods used by ancient Qigong practitioners that could record the way to repair the soul.

In this day and age, to be qualified to practice the ancient Qigong techniques, one must at least be at the Heavenly Man Realm, and can only practice after condensing spiritual energy.

Cheng Jiao seemed to meet all these conditions. Cheng Jiao just nodded without further explanation. The Yin-Yang longevity method he was practicing now was all-encompassing, and there were also some methods for repairing the spirit and soul.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight twirled his beard, obviously thinking of it, and said to Cheng Jiao.

"My friend, what is the compromise?"

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "The head of the medical family cannot preach, but it does not mean that students and disciples cannot do it. Why not let Miss Duanmu work in the academy, and Master Nian Duan temporarily stays in Xianyang and often supervises Miss Duanmu? Is it feasible?"

Nian Duan smiled at Cheng Jiao's behavior of taking advantage of loopholes.

"If I refuse again, I'll seem old-fashioned."

If Cheng Jiao wanted to get something for free, she would certainly not give him the opportunity to take advantage of it.

But now, Cheng Jiao is not only the person who works for the benefit of the people as Liuzhi said, but also her potential savior. Even if Cheng Jiao doesn't tell her, she will take the initiative to find this opportunity and repay his kindness.

After a pause, Nian Duan hesitated and said, "Master Cheng Jiao, after all, I am the head of a medical family. I cannot stay away from Jinghu Medical Village for a long time. I hope you can understand."

"Haha, of course. Master Nian Duan can go back and forth once a year. After five years, I will no longer restrict you."

Cheng Jiao smiled inexplicably. It was estimated that the seven kingdoms could be unified in five years, and Duanmu Rong would have grown up. It didn't matter whether Nian Duan was there or not.

Nian Duan breathed a sigh of relief. Five years was not a long time. If her hidden danger could be resolved, she could at least extend her life by a hundred years and live to the age of Xunzi.

The two of them came to the quiet room, and Liuzhi was drinking tea outside to prevent Cheng Jiao from being disturbed.

Cheng Jiao sat opposite Nian Duan, "Master Nian Duan, the technique I practiced is the Yin-Yang Dao, and my soul is quite complicated, so it is difficult to repair it. So I need to take it step by step and give it a try first."

Nian Duan nodded and said, "Of course it is so. It is a blessing to be able to repair it. How dare I ask for too much."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiao closed his eyes and formed a seal with his hands. With his spiritual power at the celestial realm, there was only one spell in the Yin-Yang Longevity Technique that he could use, which was to repair the soul.

"Master Nian Duan, relax and don't resist. I will enter your soul."

Nian Duan's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Medical professionals hate those who are afraid to seek medical treatment and as the head of a medical profession, she would naturally not make such a mistake.

Cheng Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed that Nian Duan did not resist. If this woman insisted on her own opinion, he would be helpless since his spiritual cultivation was still a little low after all.

In Nian Duan's spiritual space, Cheng Jiao calmly looked at the little Nian Duan figure with a faint glow in front of him, feeling a little strange.

"Master Nian Duan, I'm sorry."

Nian Duan said softly, "I am already middle-aged, it's okay for me to be looked at."

She knew this would happen and had already accepted it.

When treating an illness or healing an injury, if you don't let go when you should, it can be fatal.

Cheng Jiao realized that his vision was still narrow, so he stopped talking and slowly flew to the front of Nian Duan's soul.

With a slight sense, you can tell that it is very empty, not as solid as Bai Luan and Meng Niang.

And it is still slowly dissipating, and in about ten years, the soul will collapse.

Even if the body is not injured, it will die on the spot.

Cheng Jiao formed several soul seals and guided his own soul power into Nian Duan's soul.

The method is very simple. Use your own soul power to make up for Nian Duan’s lost soul power.

My soul is intact, even if I lose some, I can recover quickly.

Nian Duan clearly noticed Cheng Jiao's actions and exuded a soul wave of gratitude.

If Cheng Jiao had any malicious intentions at this moment, she would die on the spot.

Not to mention helping her stabilize her soul, heal soul damage, and restore soul power.

When Cheng Jiao's soul power entered Nian Duan's soul, Cheng Jiao was somewhat surprised to find that he seemed to be able to see Nian Duan's memories.

Even if he doesn't want to see it, those memories will be passively absorbed.

This……

Cheng Jiao was a little embarrassed as he accidentally saw Nian Duan’s embarrassing childhood.

I didn’t expect that the elegant and mature Nian Duan was once a leader among children and was good at beating people.

Cheng Jiao held his breath and focused, no longer paying attention to these things.

We need to find a way to repair Nian Duan’s damaged soul first before we can begin to restore his somewhat withered soul power.

After forming a dozen soul seals of various postures with his hands, Cheng Jiao condensed a soul pen and began to draw spiritual patterns on Nian Duan's injured soul body as if graffiti.

Nian Duan frowned slightly, and her plump body trembled uncontrollably.

It seemed as if he was enduring severe pain, but also as if endless joy was transmitted from his soul.

Seeing that the cracks in Nian Duan's soul body were shrinking, Cheng Jiao directly increased the output of his soul power.

For a moment, Nian Duan's spiritual space became turbulent, flashing with shimmering light, and various pictures flashed. Even Nian Duan himself realized that his memories had been exposed and were seen clearly by Cheng Jiao.

Nian Duan, who has always been simple and elegant and indifferent to the world, has a blush on her gentle face.

Maybe many people don't mind being seen through, but few people can be indifferent to having their countless little secrets, thoughts and occasional filthiness fully known by others, especially by a person of the opposite sex.

Even if the other party doesn't care or is even too lazy to look at this privacy.

Cheng Jiao whispered, "Master Nian Duan, don't think too much and calm your mind."

"..."

Nian Duan quickly collected his wandering mind; now was not the time to be dwelling on this.

I had no choice but to continue to endure and enjoy that feeling of spiritual fusion.

As time passed, Cheng Jiao realized that one third of his soul power had been consumed, so he stopped.

Now that we are in Chu State, we need to maintain our condition and not be impatient.

"Master Nian Duan, please stop here today. In two days, the wounds on your soul will be repaired, and the rest can be treated slowly."

"Two more days?"

Nian Duan said subconsciously.

"Well, my soul power is not strong enough to reach the target in one go."

Nian Duan's face was blushing at this moment, as Cheng Jiao had just looked her over completely inside and out.

When he thought that it would take two more days, he could no longer control himself. His legs went weak and he was about to fall, but Cheng Jiao, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught him in his arms.

"Master Nian Duan, are you okay?"

Nian Duan stared at Cheng Jiao blankly, feeling an urge in his heart to merge into Cheng Jiao's body.

This……

"fine."

Nian stood up and left Cheng Jiao's arms without leaving a trace.

She had already guessed where her change came from, but there was nothing she could do.
