Chapter 547: Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians
Seeing Mo Kongyuan’s condition, Ling Chuxi secretly celebrated her luck. Even a guardian of a country with cultivation in the realm of True Essence was left so miserable after dealing with the extremely cold and gloomy qi, one could easily see how powerful it was. If it were not for him by her side, it could be reckoned that it would have been difficult for her to have escaped this danger.
“Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians. That was actually the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians. It turns out the legends were true. There is truly such a thing as the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians in this world,” muttered Mo Kongyuan to himself once he recovered after quite some time.
“Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians?” Ling Chuxi’s heart sank. Why did this name sound like one belonging to a chronic disease?
“After everything, I wouldn’t be so lucky, right? I actually did not even know that I had such a disease…” Thinking about all the delicacies and the newly-acquired wealth in her arms that she hadn’t yet had the time to spend, Ling Chuxi really had the urge to cry at this moment.
One could not deny that at times, Ling Chuxi was somewhat similar to her dumb disciple.
Mo Kongyuan was still muttering to himself in a daze so he did not notice the changes in Ling Chuxi’s thoughts.
“How much time do I have left?” asked Ling Chuxi solemnly. She was pondering in her heart how she could squander away all the money she had won before she died. As for all of the Golden Pill Sect’s property, it is still better to just return it to them. One has to be kind after all. Of course, the main reason she decided to be kind was still because after pondering over it again and again, she did not even know how to spend all the money she had won to begin with.
“What do you mean how much time?” asked Mo Kongyuan, perplexed. It was as if he had just awakened from a dream and glanced at Ling Chuxi in confusion.
“Didn’t you just say that I have a chronic disease? How much more time do I have left to live?” asked Ling Chuxi despondently with a sad look on her face.
“What chronic disease? Who told you that Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians was a chronic disease?!” chastised Mo Kongyuan as he looked at Ling Chuxi with widened eyes.
“Is it not?” Upon hearing that it wasn’t a chronic disease, Ling Chuxi’s spirit which had disappeared immediately returned to her body.
“Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians isn’t a chronic disease. As legend would have it, it is an odd, innate type of meridians. A special type that occurs only once in tens of thousands of years in an individual. Having such odd meridians, you should be secretly laughing, instead of indulging in nonsense about a chronic disease!” said Mo Kongyuan without being courteous.
“Then what benefits would I gain from having Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians?” After hearing Mo Kongyuan talking about it till it sounded so amazing, Ling Chuxi was full of spirit again and even felt a little proud.
“The Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians is created through the condensation of the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It contains a terrifying power that can move mountains, overturn seas, destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. It is exactly that extremely cold and gloomy qi in your Qi Ocean that you were talking about. Your body contained such a treasure and you yourself didn’t even know about it,” said Mo Kongyuan with great emotion.
“This is so amazing!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi excitedly. She had never thought that the extremely cold and gloomy qi in her Qi Ocean actually had such a great origin. So it was to say, that she herself was actually a hidden top expert.
“However, the legendary strength of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians is too tyrannical which is why those who possess it would usually die from meridian explosion at birth. How did you manage to live till today?” asked Mo Kongyuan, perplexed.
“Just now when I used the Mind Training Chant, I noticed that there was a seal upon the strength of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians in my Qi Ocean,” said Ling Chuxi honestly.
She was being happy and proud of herself for having such a unique set of meridians, but upon hearing this, she realized that the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians was actually a ticking time bomb. When she thought back to how she had broken the seal containing it and almost lost her life as a result, Ling Chuxi could no longer be happy.
“Is there actually someone who is able to seal the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians?” asked Mo Kongyuan as he checked Ling Chuxi’s pulse in disbelief. He used his entire concentration to check on the condition of her meridians and finally felt the existence of the seal within them.
“Truly, I never thought that there would be someone in this world who could seal the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians,” said Mo Kongyuan emotionally after he retracted his hand from Ling Chuxi’s wrist.
