Chapter 11 Medical Spirit Finger
“Medical Spirit Finger? The legendary skill that is said to be able to cure 10,000 poisons with a single finger?*” Xie Ao Yu said with amazement.
[TL:问何谓药神，但看一指的传奇神技药神指吗？ goes in *… it goes on about it being some finger skill or something]
Ziyan said while laughing, “It doesn’t show, but you are well-read, you even know about the medical spirit finger.”
“I saw it in a book before. The medical spirit finger technique was invented three thousand years ago by a medical saint Yun Dangtian. At that time he had lost to a poison saint. So after 10 years of intensive study he was finally able to create the medical spirit finger technique. In another exchange with the poison saint with just the use of a single finger, he was able to get rid of all the deadly poison.” Said Xie Ao Yu.
“What you said is absolutely correct.” Ziyan nodded.
Seeing Ziyan reply in this manner had Xie Ao Yu confused.
There are many wanting to learn the medical spirit finger technique however, it was the medical saint’s top skill, said to be able to cure any poison with the use of a single finger. A miracle skill that could dissolve any poison with the use of a single finger.
although this medical spirit finger is known to exist, however with regards to its cultivation method, where would there be a person who knew that.
Seeing Xie Ao Yu perplexed face, Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh. “I happen to have the method to cultivate the medical spirit finger. However training in it is painfully hard. It can even be considered torture. If you are unable to endure not only will you be hurt, but you will also lose the ability to use the finger… So….”
“I want to practice!” Xie Ao Yu said firmly.
“Are you sure? I have to remind you. Ever since the medical saint until now, there hasn’t been a second person who was able to successfully master it. And of those who tried to learn it, their finger is already useless.” Ziyan said seriously.
Inside Xie Ao Yu’s head the figure of Xie Qian flashed. For the sake of Xie Ao Yu, Xie Qian risked his life for the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique. For Ao Yu, he travelled across the whole continent seeking to obtain a solution on how to cure Ao Yu’s inability to cultivate qi. He went through many hardships for Xie Ao Yu. So Xie Ao Yu quietly said, “I want to practice.”
Underneath the calm appearance, Ziyan felt an unflinching confidence from Xie Ao Yu.
“Alright, since you want to practice, I will then personally help you practice.” Ziyan said.
“Many thanks elder sister Ziyan.” Xie Ao Yu rejoiced. If he could practice the medical spirit finger technique then that means he can get his revenge. This made Xie Ao Yu incredibly happy. “Would you like for little brother to give you a kiss as thanks?”
Ziyan’s pretty eyes widened. She tapped her finger on Xie Ao Yu’s forehead. Unhappily saying, “Spoiled brat. You still dare cheapen your older sister? humph! Earlier you had a different atmosphere and it made me feel positive about this, but now you dare take liberties with your elder sis?”
“Hehe, Shouldn’t I give thanks to you, elder sis?” Xie Ao Yu asked.
“If you can practice the medical spirit finger technique, that would be the biggest thanks you can give your elder sister.” Ziyan said seriously. “Brat, I will once more remind you. The medical spirit finger technique isn’t as easy as you think to learn.”
Xie Ao Yu said, “I will definitely succeed!”
Seeing Xie Ao Yu continuing like this, Ziyan didn’t need to say anymore. She then immediately started to prepare what was needed to learn the medical spirit finger technique.
After an hour had passed, Ziyan completed her preparations.
“In order to master the medical spirit finger, there are two major problems. The first one is with regards to entering the fundamental stage. In order to enter the fundamental stage, one needs to be baptized by a Divergent Flame. This is an incredibly painful process. You should believe that a divergent flame is highly incomparable to a normal flame. The second issue, and probably the most difficult is that you need to collect various exotic plants and herbs. This single point can be considered extremely difficult because who knows how many rare plants you would need to be able to complete your medical spirit finger. As far as I know, There is a practitioner of the medical spirit finger in the mainland continent who despite being fostered by three of the foremost families is still unable to collect sufficient rare plants and is unable to obtain mastery.” Ziyan explained.
Xie Ao Yu said, “Divergent Flame? Elder sis can produce a divergent flame?”
“Of course! If I didn’t have a divergent Flame, then I would forever be trapped at the lowest levels of an alchemist.” Ziyan proudly said with a smile, “My divergent flame is the extremely high level Shadow Demon Spirit Fire.”
“Shadow demon spirit fire?!” Xie Ao Yu cried out.
“You also know about this?” Ziyan asked.
Nodding his head, Xie Ao Yu answered, “I once read it in a book. It gave an explanation about divergent flames. Although divergent flames don’t have different ranks, there is still big differences in their strengths. It said that the strongest of divergent flames could burn down a whole mountain forest with a single spark. The shadow demon spirit fire can be placed as the top fifth divergent flame and among those, it is very similar.
Ziyan clicked her tongue in wonder and said, “Many said you were scholarly, now I really believe them.”
Xie Ao Yu had a forced smile. He was well-read due to the fact that read all kinds of books in order to try and remove his special physical ailment. As as result his knowledge of the natural world was extremely rich.
“Not having a divergent flame means you can’t become a high level alchemist? Does that mean without a divergent flame there is no way to refine high level medicine?” Xie Ao Yu asked. This actually was one of the question he was concerned about.
“Definitely. As the level of the medicine increases, the needed divergent flame also increase. In this way the success rate can still be higher. Much like the refinement of the poison in your father, the divergent flame, I fear, is much greater than even my shadow demon spirit fire.” Said Ziyan.
It looks like that poison was given to Xie Kun by someone else.
Since another person gave it to him, he most likely does not have any more. After all, to refine that kind of poison, not only does one need an incredibly strong divergent flame, one also needs incredibly high quality ingredients. Xie Ao Yu didn’t think someone would just arbitrarily give this kind of poison to Xie Kun.
This gave Xie Ao Yu an increase in his confidence to obtain revenge.
“Oh yeah, If you were to compare the ability of the Xie Clan’s fourth elder. At what point would the medical spirit finger be able to compete with him?” Xie Ao Yu asked another important question of his concerns.
Ziyan didn’t know Xie Ao Yu’s train of thought. With a faint smile she answered, “Your clan’s fourth elder.. hmm. He is likely at the fundamentals phase. Not only does he not have the ability to produce a divergent fire, his skills with regards to producing various pills is meager. If you were to just have the fundamentals of the medical spirit finger skill, you would defeat him.”
“At what point would the skill be considered at the fundamental level?” Xie Ao Yu asked.
“Your finger would change into a light gold color. That would be the indication that you have entered the fundamental level. Beyond the fundamental level, if it were to become a solid gold color, that would indicate you are at the peak level. And if it were to fully change back to normal, you would have mastered it.” Ziyan explained. “Also to enter the fundamental level, we need to temper your finger using a divergent flame. For each level you would need a stronger and stronger flame. Also for the fundamental level, if you were unable to obtain that, you would lose the ability to use that finger. Don’t forget in order to completely master it, you would still need to collect a large number of herbs in order to absorb their essence.
Smiling, Xie Ao Yu brought out his left hand’s pinky.
He is right-handed. No matter what he does, be it even fighting, he normally uses his right hand, not really paying attention to his left hand. Also, this finger is the hardest for people to notice.
“Are you certain?” Ziyan asked one final time.
“Yes!”
Xie Ao Yu answered with determination.
Seeing him like this, Ziyan didn’t ask any more questions. She brought out some crushed herbs, 3 different medical lotions and medical powder and mixed and spread them on Xie Ao Yu’s finger.
It gave off a slight chill, to Xie Ao Yu, it felt very comfortable. He knew, that in fact this divergent flame was only a small factor. What would really allow him to enter the fundamental stage are these medicines and even more fearful was who knew how many top grade items he would need.
After evenly spreading the ointment, Ziyan said, “I will now begin.”
Xie Ao Yu hardened his resolve and gave a small nod.
Being burned by a divergent flame is very painful.
On the edge of Ziyan’s finger a black flame emerged. It had emerged from her finger and pulsed, much like a dance from a dancing girl.
The shadow demon spirit flames’ emergence immediately caused the temperature to shoot up.
Ziyan slowly brought the shadow demon spirit flame closer to Xie Ao Yu’s finger. “If you can endure it, I will slowly increase the temperature.”
After speaking, Ziyan brought up the shadow demon spirit flame.
As soon as the shadow demon spirit flame touched his finger, it immediately made the ointment’s placed on his finger sizzle. Quickly the a warm current spread up from his finger, through his arms, across his chest, until finally settling in a spot in his brain.
“Does it hurt?” Ziyan asked cautiously. “If you want to quit right now, you still can.”
Xie Ao Yu looked at Ziyan weirdly and said, “I don’t feel it.”
