Knocks came from the other side of the door.
"Come in," James answered weakly.
The door was pushed open, and Maxine, dressed in a white dress, walked in.She did not have time to
change her clothes, which had been stained red by James’ blood.
"James,"She called out his name sweetly while walking toward him.
"Mhm," James responded gently.He asked, "Is your True Energy restored? I need you to circulate your
True Energy and help me heal my wounds."
"I've recovered a little but not fully," Maxine replied.
James uttered softly, "I think the cultivation method in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge requires
two people."
Maxine asked, "Why do you think so?"
James said, "I’m guessing what we did previously was correct.It just didn’t work because we lacked the
cultivation method.After the painting encountered blood, the bright moon disappeared, and a scorching
sun appeared.According to my understanding, the moon should represent Yin, while the sun
represents Yang.Yang represents men, and Yin represents women."
"What about the flowers that suddenly withered? What could that mean?" asked Maxine.
James thought about her question.
After a while, he said, "There might be more to the painting.We’ve probably only uncovered a portion of
the secret, but I’m sure we’re heading in the right direction.By the way, I saw a paragraph about a
cultivation method in the picture.Help me analyze it and separate it into two parts."
Maxine asked surprisedly, "What? Y-You saw a cultivation method in the painting?"
"Mhm.Get a pen and a piece of paper.I'll write it out for you."
Maxine quickly went to get the items.
Then, she helped James get up from the bed.
James was still frail and was unable to sit steadily, so she had no choice but to keep him propped up.
His arm meridian was severed, and he could not exert any strength.He picked up the pen but could not
write anything after a long time.
James said weakly, "This isn’t going to work I can’t move at all.It hurts whenever I try to move.I’ll have
to wait until my injuries get better.Go and get Tobias for me.I need him to help me with some
acupuncture."
"Didn't you say we shouldn’t let him know about this? Wouldn’t doing so expose everything?"
"Don’t worry.I just need him to use normal acupuncture needles.He's powerful and has reached at least
the fifth rank.I'll use a special method that utilizes his True Energy to regulate my Governor Vessel,
Conception Vessels, and Eight Extraordinary Meridians."
Maxine looked at James doubtfully but refrained from questioning him.She nodded, laid him in bed, and
went to get Tobias.
Soon, she returned with Tobias.
Tobias’ curiosity was piqued after learning that James wanted to self-heal and only needed to borrow
his True Energy.He wanted to know how James would heal himself from such a terrible condition.
James instructed Maxine to help him get undressed.She quickly obeyed his order.
Tobias asked, "What do you need me to do?"
James answered, "I need you to use your energy to insert these needles into me.I’ll tell you which
acupuncture points and when to pierce them."
The Cadens had practiced medical skills since ancient times.
Thus, Tobias was also equipped with high medical knowledge.
Despite that, he could do nothing to help James’ current condition.
He was curious to see how James planned to save himself, and he looked forward to witnessing
James’ medical skills.
Tobias nodded.
"Alright.I’m ready."
"Start by using your True Energy to stimulate my philtrum acupoint."
Tobias followed his instructions.
Soon, James’ whole body was covered with acupuncture needles.
"Put your hand on my back and start transfusing your True Energy."
Tobias did precisely as he said.
Suddenly, the acupuncture needles on James’ body trembled.
"What’s happening?"
Tobias was shocked.
‘Why is this happening?’ Before he could register what was happening, an odd sensation followed.
Tobias sensed a powerful surge of energy gathering together, gushing through James’ Governor and
Conception vessels as well as his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
"You..."
After overcoming his initial shock, Tobias smiled and said, "You utilized my True Energy to forcibly
regulate your Governor Vessel, Conception Vessels, and Eight Extraordinary Meridians.Martial artists
would have to be at least the fifth rank to activate them."
