BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 - Black Blood
... those gathered feel determined to complete this. Lest they risk danger in deep space, as their travels so far have been fairly easy going not counting the wendigos compared to normal deep space flight.
A few hours later, an older gentle man in a white cloak with purple trim walks below the ship. Below the vessel he waits, standing alone for many tens of minutes whilst thinking to himself. \'While they seem to be in a rush to heal their companion, they seem awfully busy to have not noticed me here yet. Well, then again they are still young, and the youth should experience it while they can before too much happens.\'
A few moments later, just as he is finishing his thoughts, the old cheerful man with his long flowing white hair gets teleported into the flying vessel above the outer court of the sect. Arriving inside, he is greeted by the sight of a long flowing and wavy black haired beautiful young lady.
Looking at her, the old man thinks to himself. \'Well, I really hope that the young people of this generation are not trading in their education for beauty. Either way, at least they have us to teach them.\' Regardless of his thoughts, he says. "Hello young one, it is nice to meet you. My name is Bingwen, and yours?"
Hearing this, Blake answers him with a bow before saying. "Hello, my name is Blake, it is a pleasure to meet you. I will guide you to Yueliangs\' room, therefore please follow me. Also, my apologies if you had to wait long." She says as she turns around to lead him to the room.
However before she could get farther down the hall, Bingwen quickly says. "It is alright miss Blake, I have been here before and know where the room is. Regardless, thank you for the offer. Although I do have a question, how is it so many of those people who where in that coma like state awake now? It is much more noisy and energetic now."
In response to his question Blake explains while still leading the way. "Well two of our companions are skilled cultivators and have been working around the clock to wake each of them, of course we only have a thousand or two awake currently."
"Interesting." Bingwen mumbles before saying. "Thank you for answering this old mans questions. *Chuckles a little. You are a very kind person young one, your parents certainly raised you right. Although if you do not mind, could you answer this question I have had for a while now. Why does your body seem different? You and your people have different auras of sorts, and it is clearly not a phisique or something. However if you do not want to understand I will not pry."
Blake giggles a little before saying. "Well thank you for not prying much, but I guess it would not hurt to give you a hint on the right path. Our bodies are slightly different from most other humans. However without our young masters approval, I cannot say more."
"It is quite alright, it is actually very nice to see such loyal and kind hearted youths." Bingwen smiles as he spoke.
A few moments later, they arrive at Yueliangs\' room. Walking into the room, Bingwen announces himself in a cheerful voice. "Hello everyone, I, Bingwen, am back."
Blake walks over to Yin who is sitting in a chair watching Yue, but the tigers however raise their heads to see him come in.
Not getting any reply, Bingwen says. "Alright, well it seems serious mood it is. I will get right to the point then, I brought with me ten pills, they should bring him close if not above his life span that he had before whatever mysterious event caused this." He says with a curious voice hoping to figure out what he has not been told.
Still not getting any answers, he continues. "Well at least I do not need to know that to heal him in this particular case. Anyways, I must forewarn you, as this happened a few days ago, his body may have new impurities from this ailment, and if it does you will have to hold down his body as I feed these too him. Does everyone understand? Also, he will be fine as long as you all follow the simple directions I give."
The two tigers, Shen Hu, and Huoli, the lich, Yin, and the high orc Blake look at each other to see if any of them have any questions. A few seconds later seeing that no one did, Yin speaks up. "Alright, so we just need to hold him down right? If that is the case, then let us get started already if you do not mind so that we can get our young master back as soon as possible."
Bingwen comments. "Great, I like your straight forwardness. Then let us begin, the strongest among you go to his shoulders and hold them down, however another of you needs to hold sown his legs. I will proceed to feed each of these to him, as well as assisting in the breaking down of these pills in his body."
Having given these instructions out, Shen Hu quickly goes over placing his paws on Yueliangs shoulders, making for a funny sight to the others. Meanwhile Blake goes over to hold down his legs, and Bingwen sits on the side of the bed of Yueliang so he will be able to better focus himself during this process.
Checking on both the others while the rest are standing by a meter away, Bingwen sees that they are prepared and places the first in Yues\' mouth and uses his chi to help it flow through him as it breaks down.
A few seconds later, as the first finishes, Yin says while watching. "Well that was pretty anti climactic."
Bingwen however quickly says. "Do not be so quick to judge. It will show more as his years begin to fill up. However at this time, it is like a drop in the ocean."
Hearing this, no more comments were made by others as he started using the next pill. ... Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, then the seventh, and eighth... As the eighth pill is flowing through Yues\' body, his body begins to tremble slightly. Thus surprising all those around except the alchemist who knew it was normal.
Shen Hu then asks upon seeing this. "If this is all, do we really need to hold him down?"
The old alchemist however, answers. "Look, just trust me. You should hold him down to make this easier and faster. However at this moment this is just the beginning. His body is just now filling up with his life span, however you will see more as he gets closer."
Having said this, he places in the 9th pill. Just as it starts breaking apart Yueliangs\' body begins shaking for a few seconds as if he was having a seizure, however it abruptly stops near instantly after a few seconds. Once it stops, his body coughs up some black substance that seems similar to blood if it were black and thicker.
As much as everyone there wanted to say something to this physician and alchemist, they knew it would be to no avail, and likely only cause him to be upset. Not wanting to lose one of the few people they know of who could help their young master, they all bit their tongue while thinking the same thought. \'If it is this much of a difference now, just how worrisome and bad will the 10th be?\'
Knowing everyone is likely worried, before he places in pill number ten, Bingwen says. "Look, I can feel that you all are worried. Please calm yourselves as it will do nothing to help, but instead hinder the process. Now just bear with me until the tenth is finished, and you can see the fruits of our labor so to speak."
Having finished what he had to say, and the others feeling more at ease hearing that, he places in the last pill. The instant it touches his tongue, Blake and Shen Hu have to put in near all of their strength to hold him down as the fit he is having this time is much stronger.
Wondering when the fit would end, about two minutes later it finally stops, and Yueliang\'s head turns to the side as his eyes open, and he starts throwing up the same black goo from before. After a few cups worth had come out, he wipes his mouth before saying. "Wow that was discusting. Either way, thank you everyone for your hard work, I missed you all."
However as he looks up to see all the teary eyed people all round him, he notices they are charging at him.. Then all of a sudden he is encased in a small group hug, as well as the surprised yet also not surprised physician.
