Chapter 260 Senior Brother is Here.
Chen Dahai looked indifferent, but Chi Tong, quite unusually, spoke up, "The tactical impact you're talking about is..."
"It just means... the flames will keep burning, and you can no longer stand in front of my feet."
Upon hearing this, Akame already had a vague idea of what it was.
"Wow, your feet can breathe fire?"
Zhong Ming and Xuan Jing were both shocked. Could there be such a miraculous thing in the world?
"Dahai, tell me the truth, will it affect you?" Zhong Ming was very serious; this matter was definitely not as simple as he made it out to be.
"It's okay. My legs will still feel the burning pain, but don't worry, it only looks like it. There's no actual physical damage."
Chen Dahai spoke lightly, but everyone could sense that the pain was something that most people could not endure.
"How did your predecessors get through it? They must have figured out some methods by now."
Wanbing Valley is a large sect, and most of its treasures are passed down from generation to generation.
"The senior brothers who have passed through... are not greatly affected in their cultivation, but they are prone to losing focus when breaking through bottlenecks. If they are not careful, they may suffer from qi deviation. However, there are also benefits. They have developed a spell that uses this strange object and flames to perform."
"That's alright," Zhong Ming's anxiety eased slightly. "Is there anything we need to know? Any precautions for using that spell?"
"It's nothing, I can't use it anyway." Chen Dahai patted his thigh and forced a smile. "It's a kicking technique, it's meaningless to me."
An awkward atmosphere ensued, and the group was unsure what to say to comfort him, as the situation had come too suddenly.
"Therefore, I summoned you here in the hope that we can give a unified account to the outside world. This is an injury I sustained while fighting against enemy cultivators. An inextinguishable flame is eternally burning my thigh. Any attempt to treat it will damage my meridians and the foundation of my Dao. So I can only wait until my cultivation level is higher to heal myself."
The group nodded; their closest comrades-in-arms were all there.
After saying that, Xuan Jing looked at the solemn atmosphere, slapped his thigh, and said, "Then you have a reason for being in a wheelchair, right? It's very reasonable. If you want to reverse cause and effect, then reverse cause and effect. Anyway, we can tell the outside world that you were injured by the cultivators and can't heal, so you're in a wheelchair. It's very believable."
Everyone laughed a few times, then quickly changed the subject, trying to lighten the mood with some lighthearted remarks.
After chatting for a while, Xuanjing, who had been holding back for some time, decided to share his new discovery.
"When I was drawing talismans, I suddenly had an inspiration. What would happen if I used the method of inner vision to mobilize spiritual power to draw talismans inside my own body?"
"Hey, that's an interesting idea. You could try to get some advice from a high-level talisman master."
"I gave it a try."
"It's definitely worth a try... Wait, you've already tried it?" There have been enough big events today; everyone's become numb.
Xuan Jing was really looking forward to seeing expressions like "You really are a peerless genius" from everyone, but he was still disappointed.
After hearing about Chen Dahai's story, everyone's first reaction was, "What will be the consequences?"
"Oh dear, you bunch of blockheads! Think about it, for a talisman master, isn't the human body a ready-made three-dimensional talisman? Look at your body, isn't it like an excellent talisman paper? Your meridians are runes and spirit patterns. Once engraved, a powerful human is born. These spirit patterns are made of flesh and blood, they can be controlled, and they can constantly change and self-repair."
Xuan Jing became more and more excited as he spoke; if he weren't wearing an iron mask, his spittle would have landed on other people's faces.
But the others instinctively leaned back, some even wanting to take a few steps back to get further away from him.
Good grief, isn't this some kind of talisman weirdo?
"This... such a bold idea must have been thought of by predecessors in the art of talismans. Why don't you take a chance to go to a library or something similar, maybe there are experimental records left by predecessors."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking about, Cuihong."
Zhong Ming shifted his position slightly back and quietly moved the stool backward.
cough cough.
Overall, it was a successful meeting, and the communication went smoothly.
On the fourth day, everyone had almost finished healing their injuries, and those who had just broken through had basically stabilized their realms. Everyone was enjoying a rare moment of rest, and it was a peaceful time when a heroic man wearing tiger-head gold shoulder armor, bright unicorn battle armor, a dragon-head fang-horned helmet, and silver boots with sea-covering tortoise patterns hurriedly walked over.
As soon as I arrived, I saw my good junior brother Chen Dahai sunbathing on the balcony, and I immediately rushed over.
"Junior brother, my dear junior brother, I've missed you so much!"
He went up and gave him a bear hug, then with a burst of strength, he lifted him and the wheelchair up, spun him around in the air, and then landed.
The handsome man knelt down on one knee before Chen Dahai, took out a storage bag from his waist, and solemnly presented it with both hands. The scene was quite dramatic.
Hearing the commotion, Xuanjing and Zhongming poked their heads out. A pair of jade-like hands reached out from behind them, each hand pressing their heads back down, making them feel a little sore.
Zhong Ming muttered a few words, thinking to himself, 'This archer's strength is ridiculously high; if I ever find a Daoist partner, I'll definitely be too scared to go home.'
The person's voice came from the corridor outside the door.
"Junior brother, you are so kind and righteous. Thanks to you, we brothers were able to avoid a bloody battle. You have made an indelible contribution to our unity. You know you got the last place, so I immediately said that I would be second to last. Nobody can take it from me. I accept the punishment for being second to last. This is all about loyalty and integrity. I'm coming to find you right away with the gifts."
The group was stunned for a moment, then heard Chen Dahai's speechless voice, "What's the punishment for being second to last? Isn't it to help Master's wife clean up some chores?"
"Hehe, don't say it out loud. My fellow disciples and I have no pressure at all in this trial. They are still in the trial, but they have all gathered some gifts to thank you. Don't mind them, don't think we are poor. Take these, the more the better. If you need anything, be sure to ask us for help, we will definitely come."
It sounded like a perfunctory remark, but Chen Dahai knew that his senior brother was being incredibly sincere at that moment.
Nonsense, now that he's dead, this senior brother will have to take on the task of being burned by the Earth Core Demon Lotus Seed.
"Okay, I appreciate your kindness, senior brother. Please give my regards to Master and Mistress and tell them that I'm doing well here."
"That's no problem. By the way, the sect is still asking if you really didn't see Akame."
