Chapter 30: Spiritual Power is Stronger than Internal Force
When Hua Changxi carried the injured Yu Gui back to the warehouse, it gave everyone in the warehouse a fright.
"What happened to Brother Yu?"
Yu Gui's two confidants, Wan Xiaozhou and Li Meng, ran over quickly to take him over.
Hua Changxi: "I don't know. When I returned to the Medical Department, I saw Brother Yu lying on the ground unconscious at the back gate. He is seriously injured. You should send him to see a doctor quickly."
Wan Xiaozhou said immediately: "Li Meng, hurry up and find a cart, and go to the dormitory to get a quilt. The nearest clinic to the Medical Department is several miles away."
Hua Changxi was about to leave, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop: "There are so many clinics in the Medical Department, why go out to see a doctor?"
Wan Xiaozhou looked bitter: "Sister Changxi, how can we menial servants get into the clinics of the Medical Department?"
Hua Changxi frowned: "Why, do the clinics of the Medical Department discriminate against menial servants?"
Wan Xiaozhou: "It's not discrimination against menial servants, it's that the fees are too expensive, and we can't afford the consultation fees at all."
Hua Changxi: "You have been working in the Medical Department for a long time, you should have savings, right? Can't you afford a consultation fee?"
Li Meng looked bitter: "Xiaozhou and I both have families to support, and our monthly allowance is sent home. Brother Yu also has people to take care of......"
Hua Changxi interrupted him: "Isn't Brother Yu an orphan?"
Wan Xiaozhou: "Brother Yu is an orphan, but he also has partners who grew up together, and an old beggar who took care of him when he was a child. These people can't live, and Brother Yu can't ignore them. Most of his monthly allowance is used on them."
Hua Changxi didn't expect Yu Gui to be so affectionate and righteous. Then why was he so stingy to her? She wanted some withered herbs, and he ignored her.
Looking at Yu Gui's injuries, Hua Changxi thought for a while and said: "Moving Brother Yu around like this will aggravate his injuries."
Wan Xiaozhou was helpless: "There's no other way."
Hua Changxi was silent for a moment, looking at Wan Xiaozhou and Li Meng: "You know I have medical skills, right?"
Wan Xiaozhou said "Ah."
Hua Changxi continued: "If you trust me, I can treat Brother Yu, but you need to provide some medicinal herbs."
Wan Xiaozhou hesitated.
If he agreed, Sister Changxi was only thirteen years old. Even if she had medical skills, she probably only knew a little bit.
But if he didn't agree, both he and Li Meng had no money, and he had no idea how much it would cost to see a doctor.
Also, after 9:00 PM in the Medical Department, all gates would be closed. It was already dark, and if they took Brother Yu out to see a doctor, they would probably have to sleep on the street tonight.
Li Meng was more decisive and asked immediately: "What medicinal herbs do you need?"
"Let's make it clear first, although we guard the herb warehouse, every herb that comes in and goes out is recorded. If you need too many herbs or they are too precious, we can't take them out."
Hua Changxi: "Don't worry, just some ordinary medicinal herbs." As she spoke, she reported more than a dozen herb names to them.
Wan Xiaozhou and Li Meng felt relieved. They were indeed all ordinary herbs used by martial artists.
The two first carried Yu Gui into the dormitory, and then Li Meng went to get the herbs, while Wan Xiaozhou went to find the medicine pot and mortar Hua Changxi needed.
Not long after, Wan Xiaozhou came back with the things first, looking at Hua Changxi with some worry: "Sister Changxi, can you really treat Brother Yu?"
Hua Changxi carefully checked Yu Gui's injuries and replied without raising her head: "Don't you know what it means to trust someone you use, and not use someone you don't trust?"
Wan Xiaozhou really had no confidence in Hua Changxi's medical skills and wanted to ask again, but Hua Changxi ignored him at all.
Soon, Li Meng also came back with the herbs.
Hua Changxi asked the two to fetch water to clean Yu Gui's wounds, while she began to process the herbs, boiling some into medicine soup and pounding some into medicine mud for external application.
Yu Gui's most serious injury was the palm print from the fourth-grade martial artist, which carried the martial artist's internal force. She had to use medicine to dissolve the martial artist's internal force.
After half an hour of work, the medicine soup was boiled. Hua Changxi asked Wan Xiaozhou to feed it to Yu Gui, and asked Li Meng to apply the pounded medicine mud to Yu Gui's wounds.
After Yu Gui drank the medicine and saw his breathing gradually become steady, Hua Changxi said: "The medicine soup needs to be continued, three times a day. You know which herbs to use. If you are not clear, you can ask me when I come to collect herbs tomorrow."
"Alright, I'm going back."
Watching Hua Changxi leave, Wan Xiaozhou and Li Meng looked at each other with no confidence.
"Can Sister Changxi cure Brother Yu?"
"Before, Sister Changxi was bullied, and Brother Yu sat idly by. Do you think she will take the opportunity to retaliate?"
"Can't be."
When Hua Changxi returned to the dormitory, everyone in the same dormitory had finished their work and returned to the room to rest. Even Sister Shi, who was on leave, had returned.
Sister Shi's complexion was a bit unnatural, and she was still regretting not being able to swap leave with Hua Changxi: "Changxi, why are you back so late? We all thought you would be back tomorrow."
Hua Changxi replied with a smile: "Isn't this because I'm afraid of delaying the work." After saying this, she took the water basin to wash up.
After washing up, Hua Changxi climbed onto the bed. This time, she didn't fall asleep immediately, but read "Lingbo Micro-steps."
She knew too little about cultivation and couldn't reach cultivation spells, so she could only start from the martial arts techniques in the family.
"Lingbo Micro-steps" was equipped with clear practice diagrams, and it was easy to get started by practicing according to them.
However, how much power it could exert depended on the depth of the practitioner's internal force.
Everyone was not used to Hua Changxi not going to sleep immediately, but everyone was busy every day, and the people in the dormitory didn't have much energy to care about other people's affairs.
Not long after, everyone went to sleep one after another.
Hua Changxi found that her memory had improved a lot. After reading "Lingbo Micro-steps" three times, she remembered the footwork inside.
Afterwards, Hua Changxi lay on the bed with her eyes closed and simulated the footwork of "Lingbo Micro-steps" over and over again. After 11:00 PM, the entire Sixth Bureau was quiet, and she climbed out of bed quietly.
"Whoosh~"
Under the moonlight, a figure was flashing rapidly on both sides of the ditch in the front courtyard of the Sixth Bureau.
The person running was Hua Changxi.
After running ten laps around the ditch, Hua Changxi calmed down the excitement in her heart.
Mobilizing the spiritual power in her body could really exert the power of "Lingbo Micro-steps"!
Moreover, the spiritual power consumed was very little, and ten laps only consumed one spiritual power point.
Almost all the Hua family boys practiced Lingbo Micro-steps, among which Hua Minghe and Hua Dalang practiced the best. Hua Changxi had seen them operate their skills and knew that they consumed a lot of internal force when launching Lingbo Micro-steps.
Judging from the spiritual power she consumed, internal force should not be the same level of power as spiritual power, and spiritual power should be much deeper than internal force.
Therefore, she now possessed martial arts power that was not inferior to martial artists.
It's just that she didn't know how many grade martial artists she could fight with her current realm points?
Having learned a footwork, Hua Changxi returned to the dormitory happily, climbed onto the bed, and began to sink into cultivation.
"Water~"
Just as the sky was slightly bright, Wan Xiaozhou, who had guarded Yu Gui all night, was about to open the warehouse gate when he heard Yu Gui's weak voice.
"Brother Yu, are you awake?"
Seeing Wan Xiaozhou and looking around, knowing that he was in the dormitory of the warehouse, Yu Gui's tightly frowned brows couldn't help but relax a bit.
Wan Xiaozhou walked over to help him sit up and poured him a glass of water: "Brother Yu, who beat you like this?"
Yu Gui didn't answer, but asked instead: "Did you save me?"
Wan Xiaozhou shook his head: "Sister Changxi saved you." As he spoke, he told the story of Hua Changxi carrying him back and treating his injuries.
Yu Gui's expression paused: "It was actually Sister Changxi who saved me." ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
