Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

The latest medical examination report of Gu Tong was displayed on the projection screen in the conference room.

Those complex data curves and red warning signs could evoke a sense of despair even in someone without medical knowledge.

"The situation is worse than we anticipated."

The speaker was the chief medical officer of the Dark Fortress, an elderly woman with gray hair. Pointing to a blurry black shadow on the screen, she said in a heavy voice, "This is the 'Primal Gu.' It's parasitizing the Gu Child's lower dantian, and has completely become symbiotic with her organs, meridians, and even nervous system. It's like a greedy black hole, constantly devouring her life force."

"The Medicine Immortal Society's method of cultivating Gu children is extremely cruel. According to the confessions of the captured prisoners, they planted different primitive Gu in forty-nine children. The primitive Gu would attract and devour each other, and the one who survived had almost every type of Gu poison gathered in her body. This thing is alive; it has instincts."

The old woman sighed, took off her glasses and wiped them: "Right now, this thing is 'feeding.' At the current rate of erosion, once the innate Qi in the Gu child's body is exhausted, the primordial Gu will devour it all the way up to the middle and upper dantian. At that point, even a god couldn't save it."

"Isn't there any way to separate her?" Liao Zhong asked anxiously. "Even if it means crippling all her Gu techniques, just letting her be an ordinary person would be fine!"

"It's impossible." The old woman shook her head. "Removing the original Gu is like draining her blood and removing her internal organs. She would die on the operating table. The Medicine Immortal Society seems to have a secret method to support Gu children to adulthood, but... we haven't been able to find out."

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

Liao Zhong slumped into a chair, burying his face in his hands. He'd finally managed to rescue her; was he really just going to watch her die?

"that……"

From the corner, a slightly immature voice broke the silence.

Yan Sen raised his hand, like a primary school student answering a question: "Although I don't understand Western medicine, from the perspective of our Feng Shui profession, this matter... doesn't seem to be so absolute."

All eyes immediately turned to him.

"Xiao Yan, do you have a way?" Liao Zhong suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming.

"I wouldn't dare say I have a solution, but I can say I have an idea." Yan Sen stood up, walked to the projection screen, and pointed at the dark shadow. "Gu masters call this Gu poison, doctors think it's a parasitic life form, but in my eyes, it's a mass of 'evil energy,' and a mass of evil energy that has gained sentience and is starving."

"Since it's hungry, why not just feed it?"

"Feed it?" The elderly medical officer frowned. "It eats primordial energy! Whose primordial energy are you going to use to feed it? Even if you manage to feed it enough, depleting its primordial energy is equivalent to depleting its life force. This plan is not even worth discussing! No way!"

"It's not necessarily necessary to use primordial Qi." Yan Sen grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "All things in heaven and earth are mutually generating and mutually restraining. Among the five elements, wood governs growth and vitality. Although this primordial Gu is ferocious, it is ultimately a kind of 'creature' nurtured by Qi. As long as it is alive, it cannot refuse pure 'life Qi'."

Yan Sen extended his right hand, and a ball of cyan-gold qi slowly emerged in his palm. This qi was not dazzling, but it exuded a vibrant vitality, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil in spring, tenacious and resilient.

"This is the 'Liver Wood Qi' that I'm currently cultivating," Yan Sen explained. "I want to try to see if I can use my Qi to replace the Gu Child's innate Qi to 'nourish' this primordial Gu."

"What a joke!" the medical officer shouted sternly. "Kid, you also practice Qi cultivation. Would you allow someone to probe your body with their Qi? If anything goes wrong, your Qi will run rampant in the Gu child's meridians. At best, the Gu child's meridians will be completely destroyed; at worst, the child will die suddenly!"

"There are risks, but the Gu child is different." Yan Sen looked at Liao Zhong with a determined gaze. "Uncle Liao, you've seen it yourself. This child has no 'self.' Her body is defenseless, like an empty house without a lock. As long as I don't have malicious intent, her body won't reject me at all."

Liao Zhong stared at Yan Sen, his eyes flickering uncertainly. This was a high-stakes gamble. If they won, the Gu child could be saved; if they lost, it would be a medical malpractice incident, or even the death of both mother and child.

But he had no choice.

"Try!" Liao Zhong gritted his teeth and spat out a single word. "If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame!"

……

We returned to that closed room once again.

Yan Sen sat cross-legged behind Gu Tong, his hands pressing against her thin back.

"Excuse me, little sister."

Yan Sen closed his eyes, and activated [The Qi of All Things].

With a thought, a warm, grassy, ​​golden-blue Qi flowed slowly from the palm of his hand into the Gu child's body.

Just as Yan Sen had predicted, the Gu child's meridians obediently accepted Yan Sen's Qi without any defensive mechanisms. His Qi flowed freely as if it had returned home, eventually converging at the lower dantian.

There, a thick, black fog swirled and rolled endlessly.

That is the primordial Gu.

Sensing the incoming Qi, the black mist instantly became agitated, like a shark that had smelled blood, and pounced forward.

"Come on! You must be tired of eating your own all the time, come and try mine!"

Yan Sen did not back down. Instead, he controlled his liver wood qi and took the initiative to meet it, like a large net gently enveloping the black mist.

"Sizzle..."

Although he couldn't hear the sound, Yan Sen sensed a strange reaction occurring the moment the two forces came into contact.

The primal Gu, originally violent and greedy, calmed down the moment it came into contact with the Qi of the Liver Wood. The feeling was like a raging beast being stroked, or a hungry baby drinking milk.

The liver, associated with the element of wood, governs life. This pure vitality is precisely the nourishment that the primordial Gu (a type of insect) craves most!

It no longer devoured Chen Duo's faint life force, but instead greedily absorbed the Qi that Yan Sen sent.

As the feeding continued, Yan Sen was surprised to find that after being "fed to satiety," the primordial Gu not only expanded in size and accelerated its division, but also fed back an extremely weak but highly pure energy to the Gu Child.

This energy flowed along the Gu Child's meridians, half of it nourishing the Gu Child's meridians, while the other half flowed back into Yan Sen's body, causing his liver to feel warm. His "Liver Wood," which had just entered the cultivation bottleneck period, actually improved by a little!

A win-win situation?!

Yan Sen was overjoyed; this little girl was simply his lucky star!

Half an hour later, Yan Sen finished his practice.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he had expended a lot of energy, he was unusually excited.

"How is it?" Liao Zhong, who had been standing by the side, asked anxiously.

Yan Sen pointed to the data on the instrument.

The red curve that originally represented the activity level of the Primal Gu had now steadily decreased, turning into a gentle green wave.

"It's done." Yan Sen chuckled. "This little thing is a glutton; it won't fuss once it's full."

Liao Zhong's eyes instantly reddened as he looked at the data. This burly man couldn't help but turn away and secretly wipe his face.

"Good...well done..."
