Chapter 411: A Happy Little Ball of Sunshine

I focus my mind on the challenge ahead.

How to use my healing techniques without a direct line of qi to heal them.

My cultivation method normally utilizes lines of qi for direct control of the healing process. However, there are many cultivation methods that don’t require this level of control or direct connection. Using the ambient qi to activate and create effects at a distance from themselves.

The biggest difference between their techniques and mine is the enormous amount of complexity that is packed into each healing strand.

Which means I need to bypass that requirement and activate it while maintaining that same level of complexity.

I need to reach rank 6.

Over the course of this assessment, I’ve healed at least a thousand people. On top of that, I’ve been healing others at other times with my cultivation methods. With my cultivation plan, qi and access aren’t the issue. It is the amount of time needed for me to ‘settle’ within each rank.

To allow my healing constitution to push past the limits of what is viewed as possible with my qi density.

To move from Rank 5’s 38,416 qi, to Rank 6’s 65,536 qi.

In comparison, even a genius would be at 81 qi for Rank 5 and 100 for Rank 6. Normal people: 25 and 36, respectively.

And with that qi density, comes the ability to do wonky things. Like access techniques that would normally only be accessible in the Boundless Healing Method, at the end of Foundation Establishment.

A technique that creates such a dense amount of qi in one place, packed with complexity and information, and stimulates a remote, but known location to generate the exact same thing there. Giving me the ability to heal from afar.

They call this technique:

Remote Healing.

...

...

Not everything in this method has a cool name, apparently.

I practice my breathing techniques, sitting on the floor in meditation.

Collecting qi within myself and stimulating the process to move to the next rank. Letting the qi around me swirl into a mini storm. Revolving it around and within myself. Surging through my meridians and into my dantians to fill them with qi.

And then it’s done.

I don’t even need to use my scan, either, as the technique allows me to do the same thing I can with the Fingers of Life. Viewing through it and discerning issues as necessary.

Of course... I’m going to use my scan anyway, though.

Why not, right? There is always the chance that something could come up and it would be helpful to discern. After all, my scan is one of my most powerful tools to comprehend the world around me. But only when used alongside other methods.

A lesson well learned.

With this technique now active and usable, I move the ball to one of the first parasite victims she’s brought over. People from the parasite caverns underneath the Yellow Sashes territory.

As expected, that was one of the first places Gong hit, as that was the most shocking for us to discover.

An unconscious woman with red hair and a dazed look lay before her. Like all of the other parasitized women, I tamed the parasite within her to not initiate its alert state.

I take a breath, centering myself and focusing to only consider the facts of the situation. To not let my emotions control me.

With this, I command the parasite to leave her body peacefully.

While this won’t undo any physical, mental, and emotional changes it’s made, it will stop it from performing forced removal or trauma processes. All of which would normally activate, since it isn’t in the mature state, ready to be ‘born’.

The taming process removes that requirement. Letting it grow normally, without a host. With that being one of the stipulations to the taming contract that I made with the parasites.

Like a baby would, the parasite leaves her body.

Having the parasite slither to the side, I focus my attention on the woman herself. Moving the ball of healing to her body, letting it come close to her.

Like with my normal healing method, the woman glows. Alongside my cultivation method, I’m also using my magical healing aura. These two aspects interact in a way to heal her body of the chemical, physical, and addicting effects that come from the parasitizing process. I don’t heal her of any cultivation that’s been stripped of herself, as I don’t want to put Gong in danger.

Adding to that, she remains unconscious.

Locked in the prison of her mind.

I’ve learned from my mistakes with the victims that joined my group.

I may not be able to remove it, but I can temper the attachment they would feel and how my avatar in their mind would be. To make it so, that it wouldn’t be as dramatic of a connection as it was for the previous group of victims.

Gently, I use the technique on the woman, hoping that this time will be better.
