Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1507 - 800: Healing
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Grandmaster Hu grabbed the Great Cultivator Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Pill and downed it in one go, not sparing it a single glance.
He understood his disciple inside out; Li Shiming could be relied upon completely and would never do anything to endanger him.
With the Great Cultivator Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Pill now inside him, Li Shiming triggered the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill, sending streams of emerald light bursting from his palms to envelop Grandmaster Hu's frame.
He felt a pang of regret for handing over the 'Innate Jianmu Tree Heart' to his clone Li Yuanba; had it remained with him, the might of his 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill would have surged by multiple folds.
Restoring Grandmaster Hu's missing left leg wouldn't have required the Great Cultivator Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Pill at all.
The enhancement from the 'Innate Jianmu Tree Heart' to the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill rivals elevating the skill to a whole new tier, yielding effects beyond imagination.
He kept channeling the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill for more than twenty rounds, as verdant glows danced wildly around Grandmaster Hu's figure.
Grandmaster Hu's presence surged back to life in moments, and from the raw stump of his severed left leg, a fresh one began to sprout.
This newly formed left leg appeared frail at first, yet with daily infusions of Spiritual Power Pattern to toughen it, Grandmaster Hu could bring it back to match his original limb's strength.
For someone at the Great Cultivator stage, the loss of a limb poses a major headache, particularly because such wounds often stem from clashes with fellow powerhouses on equal footing, laced with lingering forces that block natural healing.
The Great Cultivator Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Pill works by deploying its unique medicinal essence to shatter those obstructive energies first, paving the way for the restorative forces of the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill to speed up the left leg's regrowth.
On top of that, the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill sweeps away the foreign powers lingering in his system, letting his wounds mend at an astonishing pace.
"Innate Wood Divine Skill!" Master Ding, who had trailed after him, blurted out in shock, then quickly clamped his lips shut to prevent any disruption to Grandmaster Hu's healing process.
"Shizhen, that's sufficient!" Grandmaster Hu signaled with a wave, halting Li Shiming from pouring more into the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill.
Without this intervention, Li Shiming could have gone on wielding the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill indefinitely.
Li Shiming halted his efforts, his gaze fixed intently, though the concern flickering in his eyes was plain to see.
Grandmaster Hu assessed his wounds' condition, propping himself against a close table. Yue Shan moved to steady him but got gently rebuffed by Grandmaster Hu, so Yue Shan backed off.
"I'm doing pretty well overall; the new left leg isn't fully bearing weight just yet, but I figure I'll regain most of its use within ten days!" Grandmaster Hu set both feet firmly down, his frame wobbling a bit before finding balance, and he grinned as he announced it.
Truth be told, the left leg's absence barely hampers fighting prowess; battles among Great Cultivators seldom involve grounding themselves anyway.
The real blow from missing a left leg hits cultivation hardest. A Great Cultivator deprived of a body part faces a fractured wholeness in their path, which slows down their progress along the Dao.
That said, attaining Great Cultivator status already crowns one at the peak across the Dongqi Continent, leaving scant room for climbing higher.
"Old Hu, what's the status of your wounds? How soon until you're fit for combat once more?" Master Ding pressed with urgency.
Given the dire straits facing the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Grandmaster Hu's readiness to fight holds vital importance for their survival.
"I could dive into battle this instant, operating at roughly seventy percent strength. Give me another couple of days to recuperate, and I'll hit eighty percent fighting form!" Grandmaster Hu dismissed the concern with a casual flick of his hand.
"Luo Pei, hand over five Spirit Pills to Master!" Li Shiming directed, addressing Great Cultivator Luo Pei directly.
He had passed along every non-Great Cultivator Fourth-grade High Quality Spirit Pill into Great Cultivator Luo Pei's care.
Letting Great Cultivator Luo Pei hold onto them felt no different from keeping them personally.
Great Cultivator Luo Pei harbored zero ulterior motives about the Spirit Pills; he'd charge into death without a second thought if commanded.
The command over Great Cultivator Luo Pei came from the Heavenly Ghost, Li Shiming's loyal Spiritual Pet, forging a bond even tighter than any master-servant tie.
Great Cultivator Luo Pei advanced, pulling a jade bottle from his stores and offering it up to Grandmaster Hu.
Even prior to encountering Li Shiming, Grandmaster Hu had learned of Great Cultivator Luo Pei's presence through reports.
As he received the jade bottle from Great Cultivator Luo Pei, Grandmaster Hu offered a deep bow of respect before taking hold of it.
Regardless of the circumstances, Great Cultivator Luo Pei stood as a peer in rank, meriting the full honors of protocol.
Though serving under Li Shiming, Great Cultivator Luo Pei's formidable might as a Great Cultivator earned him the utmost deference throughout the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
"Master, incorporating these five Spirit Pills into your cultivation sessions ought to hasten your mending!" Li Shiming remarked, a grin lighting his face.
After the wounds close up, the persistent damage from internal scars and alien energies leaves the body frail, the Nascent Soul dulled, and inner reserves nearly drained; skipping Spirit Pills would drag out recovery for far too long.
Besides, from what he gathered, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's stock of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills ran perilously low, with most already doled out and used up, none hoarded by any Great Cultivator.
Furthermore, considering how the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's weaknesses shone through even at their gates, those resource sites had to be fraught with danger.
"This won't cause you any trouble, will it? I could just take my time healing without needing the Spirit Pills!" Grandmaster Hu shot a look at Great Cultivator Luo Pei before facing Li Shiming with his question.
